[Divination Commission]
Jing Yuan looked at the Herta in front of him and smiled. "Since it's Miss Herta's request, I'll treat it as doing you a favor."
"As long as it won't have a major impact on the Luofu."
Jing Yuan extended his hand in a welcoming gesture. "Feel free."
After agreeing to Herta's request to search for someone on the Luofu, Jing Yuan looked at the other genius from the Genius Society beside her.
"As for Miss Ruan Mei…"
When it came to her, Jing Yuan felt a slight headache.
As a genius in the field of life sciences, Jing Yuan naturally understood why Ruan Mei had stayed on the Luofu.
But those things were related to Levi, and Levi didn't want too many people to know about his strength.
Ruan Mei, on the other hand, was someone highly regarded by Nous, the Aeon of Erudition, and not someone he could afford to offend.
As probably the only person on the Luofu who knew Levi's true strength, being caught in the middle was no easy situation.
Jing Yuan sighed inwardly, but his face remained full of smiles.
"If Miss Ruan Mei has any requests, please feel free to bring them up. As long as Jing Yuan can fulfill them, I certainly will!"
Herta, who was sipping tea, glanced at him from the side. As a genius who interacted with people more frequently, she naturally picked up on the meaning behind Jing Yuan's words.
He did not equal the Luofu.
Although to outsiders, his words seemed to represent the Luofu, if taken seriously, the two were definitely not the same.
Clearly, those monsters from the ancient sea were connected to certain matters.
Jing Yuan did not want to explain too much to outsiders like them.
Ruan Mei set down her teacup, her eyes resting on the general of the Luofu in front of her, and politely asked, "Regarding the origin of those creations, I hope the general won't be stingy."
'Their origin? What origin could I possibly know!'
'At most, I just know they're related to Levi.'
'As for how exactly they came to be, I'd have to ask Levi himself.'
Jing Yuan muttered in his heart, while on the surface he shook his head. "Sorry, Miss Ruan Mei. It's not that I don't want to tell you both, but the Luofu also knows very little about those things."
"Our understanding of them might even be less than yours.", Jing Yuan said sincerely.
They had been fighting those things all along and had even captured a few for research. The conclusion they reached was only one.
The energy inside those monsters had a strong corrosive effect on the human body.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
And the two of them, Herta and Ruan Mei, were both geniuses, with Ruan Mei being a genius in life sciences.
The results of their research during this period would definitely surpass what the Luofu had found.
"Do you know how those things were eliminated?"
Herta and Ruan Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing that Jing Yuan was hiding something.
Ruan Mei thought for a moment and said, "General, do you know why those creations appeared on the Luofu?"
Jing Yuan shook his head again. "I don't know the exact reason either. It might be because of the power of the Destruction Aeon…"
"You two should also be aware that just yesterday, one of the subordinates of the Destruction Aeon, Phantylia, appeared on the ancient sea of the Luofu."
"Later, a warrior repelled her, but it's inevitable that some of that power remained in the ancient sea, which then gave rise to those monsters."
Jing Yuan spoke smoothly, with clear logic from beginning to end.
Combined with the fact that creations of Destruction did share some similarities with those things in terms of their threat to life.
Aside from the purple energy that caused all of this…
'No! It could be a new weapon developed by the Legion for destruction!'
If everything was attributed to an Aeon, then all the unreasonable parts would suddenly become very reasonable.
Because Aeons themselves were beyond the bounds of reason.
"Aeons… truly full of temptation…"
Ruan Mei suddenly thought of the "little baby" she had cultivated beneath the space station.
'What would the long-absent Propagation be like?'
At this moment, the third person in the room, Herta, spoke up.
"Oh? Why do I find your words a bit suspicious?"
It felt like he was deliberately guiding them toward the Destruction Aeon.
Herta crossed her arms and questioned, "Why couldn't that power have come from that 'warrior'?"
Just because he or she helped the Luofu solve a major problem?
"I'm just raising a reasonable doubt. If it affects your mood… then so be it."
She didn't care.
Jing Yuan laughed awkwardly. "I just didn't get the chance to say it yet. Since Miss Herta has brought it up, that saves me some effort."
He set down his empty teacup and looked at the two of them. "Both sides are equally suspicious. If Miss Ruan Mei wants to investigate this matter, feel free."
As for the identity of that "warrior."
Sorry, the Luofu is also still investigating.
Ruan Mei nodded. "In that case, sorry for the disturbance."
"Not at all!"
Jing Yuan smiled. "It's the Luofu's fortune to have two distinguished guests visit. How could it be called a disturbance!"
After speaking, Jing Yuan stroked his chin.
"Since the two of you have just arrived, Yanqing!"
Jing Yuan called out. The door opened, and Yanqing walked in, cupping his fists in greeting toward Herta and Ruan Mei.
Then he looked at Jing Yuan. "General, what do you need Yanqing for?"
"For the time being, you'll accompany these two distinguished guests as they move around the Luofu. Make sure..."
"Wait!"
Herta suddenly interrupted. She looked at Yanqing, frowned, and thought for a moment.
"Change someone… who was that man at Scalegorge Waterscape yesterday?"
Yesterday, Scalegorge Waterscape, a man, someone Herta had seen…
Putting all those together, only one person came to Jing Yuan's mind.
Levi.
"May I ask, Miss Herta, why you're looking for him?"
Herta replied immediately, "He looks pleasing to the eye."
Hearing this, Jing Yuan didn't show much reaction and slowly nodded. "Levi is under Fu Xuan of the Divination Commission. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to give him direct orders."
"You two can go to the Divination Commission…"
Let his superior give him the order. That way, even if something goes wrong, the trouble would go to Fu Xuan, not to him.
As for whether Fu Xuan would come looking for him.
Compared to Levi, a woman with the surname Fu wasn't much of a threat.
———
"Achoo!"
Seeing Levi sneeze, the person beside him immediately leaned in.
"Family, is there something wrong with your body? The Alchemy Commission hasn't resumed normal operations yet, but don't worry, someone in our Aimen can refine divine pills…"
"Stop! Family, I really want to try, but I'm not sick."
Levi firmly rejected the "family member's" kindness.
"I just sneezed for fun."
Watching the other person walk away, Levi felt speechless.
If he hadn't stopped them just now, several more people would probably have come over to show concern.
"Have these Vidyadhara all been brainwashed by some evil thing?"
Something felt off…
Not quite like humans…
He shifted his gaze and looked at the chat group.
[Elysia: Since you've seen Elysia, why aren't you bowing!]
[Levi: Shrimp head!]
[Elysia: Insolence! Is this how you speak to your god?!]
[Levi: Shrimp head girl!]
[Elysia: Didn't you hear your god's command? Go wipe out that 'Aimen'!]
[Levi: They're my family…]
[Elysia: Hmm?]
[Levi: Strangers pay half, acquaintances pay full, "family"…]
After waiting for a long time without hearing the rest, Kiana felt itchy with curiosity and asked in the group.
]Kiana: "Family" what?]
[Levi: I don't know!]
[Kiana: …]
[Kiana: I've decided to take back your title of "Great Poet of the Xianzhou"!]
