Full-Time Magister: I Have a Crafting Spawn

"Someone is framing the guardian spirit!"

Tang Yue pushed the latest news on her phone to Jiang Chuan.

The news story above is set against the backdrop of West Lake, and includes a photo of a large snake at the bottom of the lake.

The photographer is highly skilled; anyone who sees this photo will feel intimidated.

The report was about an incident that had just occurred by West Lake.

According to eyewitnesses, a large snake was recently spotted in the West Lake.

At the time of the incident, a citizen passing by the lake was unfortunately attacked by the giant serpentine creature and immediately showed symptoms of poisoning. The injured person was rushed to the hospital for treatment and is currently in serious condition with unstable vital signs and critical illness…

Finally, there was a photo of the injured person, whose condition was even worse than when they were by West Lake. Their body seemed to have been corroded by something, with deep, corrosive pits all over their body. It was the kind of scene that would make your scalp tingle just by looking at it.

When Jiang Chuan saw this news, he just thought that these people acted really quickly.

It's only been a few tens of minutes, yet it's already been reported. I wonder how long they've been waiting around West Lake.

"A frame-up! Someone must be framing the Guardian God!" Tang Yue trembled with anger.

"It's obvious." Jiang Chuan nodded and quietly moved the West Lake Vinegar Fish away.

"No, I need to go to the trial!"

Tang Yue jumped up and pulled Jiang Chuan to leave.

"?"

"No? If you want to go to the trial, then go. Why are you dragging me along?" Jiang Chuan grabbed the dining table and wouldn't let go no matter what.

There are still so many delicious foods I haven't tried yet!

"You are also an eyewitness, and you must come with me to the trial to testify, otherwise the guardian spirit will be framed by them!"

"It's no use me going. Nobody would believe me if I said I was there. Or you could wait until I finish eating; this can't be rushed!"

Jiang Chuan yanked Tang Yue's wrist away, forcefully pressed her into the seat, and then said:

"This news is clearly being manipulated by someone of high status. That person was able to take photos the moment the guardian angel appeared and then dump the patient in West Lake. They must have been prepared beforehand. Going to the trial like this to explain the situation won't change anything."

"What should we do then? Just let them frame the guardian deity?" Tang Yue calmed down a bit.

"Uh..." Jiang Chuan was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, he didn't have any good solutions either.

The culprit, Luo Mian, is still hiding behind the scenes, making it difficult to expose him; he needs to be brought to justice on his own.

What we can do now is to move the Black Serpent away ahead of schedule.

Putting everything else aside, the totem bead that carries the Xuan Snake is a wonderful thing that can hold such a behemoth as the Xuan Snake.

Ordinary spatial containers cannot hold living beings, let alone such a large container, which is extremely rare.

Even Zhu Meng didn't know that totem beads existed.

It's important to know that Zhu Meng is a member of the Trial Council, with great power and high status, which is enough to show how rare something must be if even he hasn't seen it before.

If we could get our hands on the totem bead, and then find a way to expand the internal space using the synthesis panel, adding mountains, water, plants, and trees, and then having the plant spirits continuously provide life energy, wouldn't that be a self-contained life space?

But we've digressed; let's return to the dinner table.

"I'll go back to the court first. You don't have to come if you don't want to, but after I leave, you must stay away from West Lake. Without me by your side, the guardian spirit might mistake you for a bad person," Tang Yue said.

"it is good."

Jiang Chuan finished the last bite, stood up, and followed Tang out of the room.

Once outside the restaurant, the two parted ways.

Jiang Chuan did not follow Tang Yue's advice to leave West Lake, but instead found a place to sit down and enjoy the beautiful scenery of West Lake.

In the original timeline, many members of the Inquisition were monitoring the Xuan Snake. None of these high-level mages were killed by the Xuan Snake, let alone someone like me who had contact with Tang Yue.

...

Half a day has passed.

sunset.

Before the sun had completely set, Tang Yue rushed to West Lake, nervously looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, took out a yellowish-green bead from her bosom.

"Hey everyone, can you hear me? There are bad guys trying to hurt you again. I'm going to take you to a safe place to rest... Hey everyone? Can you hear me?" Tang Yue's voice echoed across the lake.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Chuan was speechless.

This woman is truly all looks and no brains; no wonder she thought she could find the world-famous Cardinal Salan in Bo City.

Keep in mind that she was only a mid-level mage at that time.

Shouting so loudly now, are they really not afraid of being discovered by the people monitoring the Black Serpent?

That's really brainless.

Just as Jiang Chuan was speechless, several figures suddenly appeared in the shadows behind Tang Yue, but she was still unaware and was still shouting "Big guy".

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly and disappeared into the shadows beneath his feet.

At the same time, the black mass beneath the lake seemed to move, moving towards the shore where Tang Yue was.

……

"Big guy, big guy? Haven't you heard me yet?"

Tang Yue looked at the shimmering lake with some dejection, but there was no sign of the Xuan Snake in the unfathomable water.

"Tang Yue, what are you shouting?"

The sudden sound startled Tang Yue, and she quickly looked behind her.

Several judges dressed in the uniforms of the Inquisition Council came out; they were all her colleagues in the Inquisition Council whom she saw frequently.

"What are you doing here?" Tang Yue stepped back warily, hiding the totem bead in her hand at the same time.

"What are you hiding? Hand it over right now!" a short-haired male judge shouted.

Several judges immediately surrounded her, staring intently at Tang Yue, creating a palpable sense of oppression.

"What do you want to do?" Tang Yue was already behind West Lake, with nowhere left to retreat.

The totem beads must never be handed over!

"What are you doing? We are here on orders from our superiors to guard the Xuan Snake within the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon seal. You were just calling out to it, weren't you?" the short-haired judge mage questioned.

Tang Yue didn't answer, but instead asked, "Who are you referring to as your superior? It can't be the presiding judge, can it?"

"This is none of your business, you're just a lowly Judgment Mage!" the short-haired Judgment Mage said, reaching out to snatch the totem bead from Tang Yue's arms.

Just at the critical moment, a shadow appeared in front of Tang Yue, and then Jiang Chuan emerged from it, grabbing the short-haired judge mage's right hand.

"Who is it?!"

The sudden change alerted the several Judgment Mages, and almost simultaneously, star trails began to connect around them.

Unfortunately, the star trails had barely appeared when they shattered in mid-air the next second.

"Oh no, it's the Mind Mage! Call for backup!" The short-haired Judgment Mage immediately realized what was happening and shouted loudly.

Jiang Chuan didn't give them time to call for help. With a wave of his right hand, more than a dozen fireballs flew out.

After a dozen or so explosions, not a single Judgment Mage was still standing. They all lay on the ground like dead dogs, their fates unknown!
