He would rather this was a joke from Liao Ji. That kid never knew when to stop, and he'd even spread rumors that he was gay.

But Zhou Yuncan was always honest and straightforward.

He shouldn't be joking about this kind of thing.

"Zhou Yuncan, make it clear what you mean."

Su Yue originally planned to take a shower, but now he had lost the mood.

He sat under the basketball hoop on the playground, body stiff, listening to Zhou Yuncan's story.

Captivity.

Beheading.

Yangxiang Sect.

Dammit, it's that bunch of cultists from the Yangxiang Sect again.

Those beasts.

Fuck off!

After listening to Zhou Yuncan, Su Yue was eager to go to the wetland and kill the Yangxiang Race immediately.

"Zhou Yuncan, calm down first. After all, there are still 15 days before the beheading. The Divine Land Military Department won't stand idly by, they will rescue them."

Su Yue talked with Zhou Yuncan for a while longer.

"Zhou Yuncan, thank you for telling me this news."

Su Yue hung up the phone.

Although it was late at night, Su Yue couldn't care about much else, and he directly called Li Xingpei's private number.

Last time when they teamed up to kill the pepper demon, Su Yue and Li Xingpei had become friends.

"Hello, is this Su Yue?"

Li Xingpei was in the Governor's office, not sleeping at all.

"Governor, I'm sorry for disturbing you so late. I want to ask, is there any hope for Instructor Dai Yuegui's rescue?"

Su Yue got straight to the point.

"So the captured Dai Yuegui is your instructor?"

Li Xingpei was taken aback.

These days, she had memorized the names of the Martial Artists who had sacrificed in Cengyan City by heart.

Dai Yuegui, affiliated with the Education Bureau, was a Martial Artist dispatched by the Teacher Combat Institute.

His past record indeed shows he was an instructor of a potential class.

"Su Yue, I'm very sorry we couldn't ensure their safety, but the Zhenqin Corps and the Governor's Mansion are both trying to find a solution.

"Moreover, the Zhenqin Corps has already started recruiting undercover agents, planning to infiltrate the Yangxiang Sect. This is confidential, so don't spread it around."

Li Xingpei, knowing Su Yue's capabilities, revealed a tiny bit of information.

In fact, this little information wasn't even that confidential to the Zhenqin Corps.

Details on dispatching undercover agents, or how they would be dispatched, even these Governors had no right to know.

"Su Yue, I know this might sound selfish, but you're really strong and resourceful. If the Zhenqin Corps finds you… you might consider it."

After hesitating for a long time, Li Xingpei finally couldn't help but say it.

She felt if it were Su Yue going, there would be a much higher success rate than others.

But indeed… it was very selfish.

"I'll think about it."

On the other end, Su Yue's voice was deep.

"Going undercover needs to be completely voluntary. You don't have to go, nobody will blame you, it's your choice.

"I'm sorry, my mind has been a bit chaotic these few days, I don't know what I'm saying.

"I… I'm sorry…"

Li Xingpei suddenly became somewhat incoherent.

Why.

As a Governor, why let a student like Su Yue bear the danger?

How selfish.

Why did I say those things?

You're a Governor, you're a Grandmaster, your duty is to allow Su Yue to wait peacefully for his instructor's return, not to send him into danger.

Su Yue owes nothing to Cengyan City.

"Governor, you must be very tired these past few days. I understand what you mean.

"No one can force me, even if you don't mention Instructor Dai, the Zhenqin Corps would come to find me. This has nothing to do with you."

When hearing Li Xingpei's incoherence, Su Yue also felt a pang of sorrow.

No one wants such things to happen.

"I'm sorry, Su Yue."

The night was quiet.

The empty office.

Even as a Grandmaster, Li Xingpei had moments when she felt powerless.

"Governor, I will seriously consider this matter. Whether I go or not, I will consider it carefully. You don't need to carry any psychological burden."

After speaking, Su Yue hung up the phone.

...

An hour later.

Su Yue was still maintaining the posture of having hung up the phone.

He was constantly recalling.

Recalling every little detail of the potential class.

As for Dai Yuegui, he actually wasn't that familiar with him, and didn't have many opportunities to meet. He was even closer to Sun Zhiwei.

But this didn't mean Dai Yuegui wasn't good to him.

In Su Yue's current view, a bottle of Bone-Washing Water really meant nothing.

But in Dai Yuegui's hands, a bottle of Bone-Washing Water might represent years of savings.

He didn't hesitate, bankrupting himself to help Su Yue.

This is a drip of kindness.

But being an undercover, this is no joke.

But after thinking over and over.

Who among the top rankers of the five elite Wuda has the ability to rescue someone?

From the top nine of the five elite Wuda.

Even combined, they weren't Su Yue's match.

Can you be assured if you send them to be undercover?

Will Dai Yuegui come back?

Su Yue, from watching movies, comics, and novels, often heard this phrase: With great power comes great responsibility, it's fate.

At this moment, Su Yue suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence.

Beep, beep!

Su Yue dialed Li Xingpei's number again.

"Hello, Su Yue."

Li Xingpei frowned, what is Su Yue calling for again?

"Governor, I would like to consult you on something."

Su Yue asked heavily.

"Okay, as long as it's permitted by law, I'll speak openly."

Li Xingpei said.

"If I accumulate enough merits, can I possibly… exchange it for my father's freedom?"

Su Yue took a deep breath.

He finally asked the question that had been lingering in his heart.

The other end of the call fell into silence.

A few minutes later, Li Xingpei spoke:

"There's a chance. It's said that 100 years ago, someone used merits to exchange for the freedom of a death row convict.

"But it's a slim hope."

Li Xingpei answered Su Yue very seriously.

"How slim?"

Su Yue asked again.

"Military department badges, over a thousand in number, the exact count is unknown, but definitely more than a thousand.

"I know you've accumulated a few military department badges now, but the life-and-death struggles required for them, you understand better than anyone.

"For most Martial Artists, in their lifetime, they might only get one badge, and that's when their bones are shipped back."

Li Xingpei stated a cold fact.

"I understand, thank you, Governor.

"By the way, please tell the Zhenqin Corps… I'll take on this undercover mission."

PS: The author didn't watch a movie today. A migraine struck. Since 1 o'clock, I've been writing 500 words and then pondering life by the window, wondering if I should jump.

Persisted until now and have been vomiting bile, sorry.

Only one chapter today.

I'm sorry, everyone.
