Full-Time Magister: White Tiger's Power Lock, Unrivaled Sacred Beast

Chapter 55 You Regret My Shadow, Door: Bang!

"jingle!!"

The phone rang, and Tang Yue's slightly magnetic, mature voice came through.

“Young Master Zhao, ‘the big guy’ has been framed. Those councilors are having a meeting in the trial hall to discuss the matter. We hope you can attend with me.”

"Row."

Zhao Chengyue had nothing else to do at the moment, so he readily agreed.

Hangzhou Magic Association Building.

As Zhao Chengyue got out of the car, Tang Yue, who had been anxiously waiting, brightened up and grabbed Zhao Chengyue's arm, quickly running towards the elevator.

Zhao Chengyue's face showed a helpless expression.

Trial Chamber.

Even the guards outside the door were high-level mages, which Zhao Chengyue was not surprised by, but Tang Yue couldn't help but look at them with new respect.

But Tang Yue then thought of the nineteen-year-old young man who had lived in the Zhao family since childhood, and that she herself was a high-level mage, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

Compared to Zhao Chengyue, she's utterly useless.

Zhao Chengyue is nineteen years old and has reached the 'Dual System High Rank' level.

She, in her early twenties, was only a mid-level mage. She went to Bo City to become a teacher. If it weren't for the 'big guy' and the significant increase in resources given to her by the clan, she would probably only have just broken through to the high-level now.

In the spacious conference room, Zhu Meng and the others frowned when they saw Tang Yue walk in with a young and handsome man.

"This is Zhao Chengyue, the second young master of the Zhao family," Tang Yue introduced.

Zhao Chengyue?
Zhu Meng and the others were somewhat puzzled.

Although Zhao Chengyue held a high position and was a child prodigy, they generally wouldn't have any contact with him.

However, given the Zhao family's status, although their main base of influence was not in Hangzhou, they all had some degree of vested interest in the Zhao family and tacitly approved of Tang Yue bringing Zhao Chengyue in.

Inside the conference room, around a standard large round table, sat seven or eight well-dressed men and women.

The remaining twenty-odd judges stood around the perimeter.

These are the most powerful and highest-ranking people in Hangzhou, as they are publicly known.

"Because of that poisonous snake, so many people in Hangzhou have died. You must give us an explanation! I came here from the Magic Court not to listen to your nonsense!"

"We were ordered to eradicate the venomous snakes and restore peace to Hangzhou!"

"Do you think Zhu Meng was responsible for poisoning those people?" Zhao Chengyue whispered in Tang Yue's ear.

Tang Yue nodded. "Yes, it's him. He's the one who can't stand the existence of these big guys the most. They've protected Hangzhou for hundreds or thousands of years. Doesn't that prove they're harmless to us humans?"

"Furthermore, during the molting period, the animals secrete a fluid that is non-toxic!"

Zhao Chengyue nodded slightly. "Actually, I've already found out that the mastermind behind this isn't Zhu Meng at all."

"He simply can't stand anything that has the power to threaten humanity, whether it's demons, undead, or totem beasts."

"what?!"

Tang Yue's brain went blank, and she couldn't help but scream.

The whole audience was paying attention.

"Tang Yue, if you have any objections, you can raise them directly."

Zhu Meng was somewhat angry and looked at Tang Yue, speaking loudly.

"I have no objection."

Unexpectedly, Tang Yue, unusually, did not say much when faced with Zhu Meng's questioning, but only gave Zhu Meng a complicated look.

"Who is that?" Tang Yue turned to look at Zhao Chengyue and whispered.

“I was going to tell you directly, but given how you were just now, if I said it out loud, you would probably leak it immediately. What if the person runs away then?” Zhao Chengyue said.

Zhao Chengyue looked at Tang Yue speechlessly and couldn't help but shake his head.

Tang Yue gave an awkward smile and said no more.

“Councilor Zhu Meng, let’s calm down and investigate carefully. What if it really wasn’t Xuan She who did it?” said an elderly elder.

"Zhu Meng, this is the ancestral land of the Xuan Snake. It has guarded Hangzhou for so many years. If it wanted to harm humans, it would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?!" Luo Mian said angrily.

"Heh, who knows? Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. Perhaps it was indeed a guardian beast before, but now it has changed! It must be eliminated!" Zhu Meng sneered.

Tang Yue looked at Zhao Chengyue with a strange expression.

Zhao Chengyue chuckled and shook his head.

Perhaps Luo Mian's desire for Xuan She not to be purged is precisely because he wants Xuan She to take the blame?

After all, the plague hadn't been contained even after the Xuan Snake was gone, so if a thorough investigation were conducted, he would definitely be in deep trouble.

He will be drowned by Tuo Moxingzi, the people of the whole country, because the blood-curdling medicine killed Xuan She.

“Councilor Luo Mian, you need to understand this. The demon god you worship has already caused panic throughout Hangzhou. Tell me, if the news that the ‘Hangzhou Giant Snake’ that caused such a stir online a few days ago is actually the demon god you worship, how do you think the public will react?”

Zhu Meng retorted with a cold laugh.

Zhao Chengyue couldn't refute this point.

You can trust the power of the people.

But never trust the wisdom of the masses!
"enough!"

Tang Yue slammed her hand on the table and roared:

"What makes you say the source of the plague is the Black Serpent? I can tell you the truth: during its molting period, the Black Serpent secretes a fluid during which it is non-venomous!"

"The source of this plague could not possibly be the Black Serpent!"

"And if you don't believe this wasn't done by the Black Serpent, you can check the history of Hangzhou and see if any of the plagues that occurred in Hangzhou's history were caused by the Black Serpent!"

"Everything requires evidence. You can't just drag out a couple of corpses and claim that the Black Serpent did it. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Judge Tang Zhong and other elders who supported the totem stood up to support Tang Yue.

"Zhu Meng, everything must be based on evidence. If our totem really wanted to kill someone, we wouldn't leave a corpse to give others a handle to use against us!"

Zhu Meng sneered, "Tang Zhong, I am the one who possesses the supreme executive authority granted to me by the Magic Court and the Pearl Mage Tower to eliminate hidden dangers. Now, if I, Zhu Meng, say it is, then it must be!"

Tang Zhong was furious. "Zhu Meng, you'll regret this!"

"boom!!!"

wonderful!

Zhao Chengyue clapped his hands and laughed. He felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, even classic.

As Tang Yue left the conference hall, before Zhao Chengyue could speak, Tang Yue couldn't help but ask:
"When should we take action? I'm afraid things might change if we delay."

Zhao Chengyue frowned. "Give me another day. I'll start building momentum after I arrest Luo Mian and restore Xuan She's reputation."

He has also made some breakthroughs in his magical cultivation these past few days.

I don't know if it's because my mental strength has broken through to the sixth level, but even my spatial meditation practice has progressed much faster. I have also quickly mastered many of the original obscure and difficult details in the "Mental Control Manual".

The water-based talent, Shaping Gravity, has been mastered to a certain extent, but the ability to manipulate gravity is still being explored.
