My profession is too unique.

Chapter 32 The Black Tuo Ghost God Cult
“Teacher, Captain Hu Xiang can testify. Not only that, he also found Zhou Xian’s mole in the city patrol, and he is currently under strict guard,” Su Chen recounted.

Yuan Chenyang gave him a deep look. He was looking for an inside man to help the thief, and this guy just delivered himself to his doorstep.

Hu Xiang suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Su is really kind. Even at a time like this, he still remembers to share the credit with me."

He immediately replied, "That's right, Tang Chen has been imprisoned by me. He was searching through Zhou Zong's body on the night of Zhou Zong's death."

"Oh," Zhang Hongbo said, his expression unreadable. "Bring the person here."

"Slander! This is blatant slander!" Zhou Xian roared angrily.

Hu Xiang jogged over and brought Tang Chen over, tying him up tightly and gag him. Tang Chen's eyes were filled with terror when he saw this group of important figures.

"City, Lord City Lord..."

As the metal gag was removed, Tang Chen's legs went weak, and he wailed, "You have to do me justice! I don't know why, Captain Hu Xiang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Hongbo walked up and placed his hand on Tang Chen's head.

Tang Chen rolled his eyes, his face becoming blank.

"You turned over Zhou Zong's body?" Zhang Hongbo asked.

"Yes." Tang Chen's voice was completely flat.

Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of profession is this? It's so perverted.

"Who ordered you?"

"Yes..." Tang Chen was about to speak when his face suddenly turned ferocious. Black lines appeared on his cheeks, his hair blended in like snow, and a black vertical pupil appeared on his bald head.

"Black Tuo!"

Zhang Hongbo's expression changed, and he abruptly stepped back.

Bang! Tang Chen's head exploded, scattering red and white matter all over the ground, and a series of exclamations came from all around.

“The Cult of the Devious Gods…” Zhang Hongbo said solemnly, his back to the crowd.

Black Tuo believers… Yuan Chenyang’s gaze fell on Zhou Xian with a deep look.

Zhou Xian's face turned ugly, and he hurriedly explained, "It's a frame-up, it must be a frame-up. Zhou Zong himself must not have known anything about it, otherwise he would have handed over his belongings to this guy long ago. How could he wait until after he died to have someone dig up his body?"

“That’s right, Zhou Zong himself probably doesn’t know.” Yuan Chenyang nodded, then added meaningfully, “But others may not be unaware.”

Yuan Chenyang's voice was icy: "Hu Xiang, how was Zhou Zong able to bring the items out? Didn't you check him when you left the school that day?"

Hu Xiang was covered in cold sweat and now realized that he had fallen into a huge trap.

He said cautiously, "That day, the surveillance guards wanted to investigate, but we were standing right under their noses the whole time, so I thought it was targeted at..."

"What about these students?" Yuan Chenyang frowned. The grudges and entanglements between the three major agencies had a long history and were vaguely related to Zhang Hongbo. It was not advisable to delve too deeply into this matter.

"Later, Director Zhou came and persuaded everyone, so the inspection by the supervisory department just went through the motions."

“Ah…” Yuan Chenyang suddenly realized.

“I was just trying to comfort him normally, who knew…who knew Zhou Zong would have this on him?” Zhou Xian retorted in a deep voice.

Yuan Chenyang roared, "Who knows? You know!"

The theft of the Sacred Word Stone had him in a terrible state, and he wished he could tear the culprit to pieces.

"Let's investigate this matter thoroughly before discussing it further," Zhang Hongbo said, stopping the discussion there instead of delving deeper.

"Also, your team should go back as soon as possible." Zhang Hongbo paused for a moment, "We'll go back together too."

One of the explorers beside him asked, "Those ruins..."

Zhang Hongbo waved his hand: "I will bring out another group of people. It won't take more than a few days. It's settled then."

Many students were still somewhat confused, unsure of what had happened, but one of them mustered up the courage to ask, "Principal, so what about our city patrol this time..."

Zhang Hongbo treated these students with unusual kindness: "You experienced two attacks, far more intense than other batches, so consider this a success."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Time to head back!

All told, it's only been less than three days since it came out.

No one mentioned the Sacred Word Stone or Zhou Zong's death after that.

With a sorrowful expression, Zhou Xian opened the body bag, his hands trembling as he touched the cold corpse. When he saw the unrecognizable shoes, his face trembled even more violently.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and his wailing could be heard throughout the entire camp, causing those who heard it to grieve and weep. "He's starting to play the victim now, what a cunning old fox, even using his own son's corpse."

Inside the tent, Yuan Chenyang listened to the voice and said disdainfully.

His gaze then fell on the young man in front of him, his expression unfriendly.

"You..." He started to speak, but then realized that he didn't even know his name. They had been chatting outside for so long, and no one had mentioned it.

"What should I call you?" he asked, annoyed.

"Su Chen," Su Chen replied honestly.

“Su Chen?” Yuan Chenyang was taken aback. “You are Su Chen.”

He then looked at Bai Fengxi beside him, "Is he Su Chen?"

"Mm." Bai Fengxi nodded.

Yuan Chenyang never expected that his connection with this kid had already begun long ago.

“Really…” He struggled to describe it, yet frowned, his expression scrutinizing and wary. “You…aren’t you a refugee? How did you know Zhou Xian possessed a Sacred Word Stone? And a professional at that…”

"This matter is quite complicated..." Su Chen had already prepared his excuse, "Actually, I've always been a very thoughtful person..."

"...My profession is [Skybreaker], a skill passed down from my parents. For many years, I have been carefully progressing towards my goals..."

"...A while ago, I was almost at the last minute, and I had no choice but to contact Jiang He for resources...who knew..."

Su Chen spoke at length and in great detail, attributing his profession to his parents, whom he had never met, since he had migrated there and it would be difficult to obtain evidence.

She recounted everything about Jiang He, including the attack that night, in great detail.

"..."

"You even fought with that thief?" Yuan Chenyang was incredibly surprised. "And you discovered the Sacred Word Stone back then?"

Why didn't you report this?

Su Chen shook his head: "There's no evidence, and even if the thief is seriously injured, he can probably still take care of me. I can only leave that thing behind, but how can I explain it if I don't have it?"

“Indeed…” Yuan Chenyang nodded, his gaze still scrutinizing Su Chen.

"You really want to be my student?" As he said this, he glanced at Bai Fengxi, a strange look flashing across his face.

"Hmm." Su Chen nodded solemnly, ready to cling to this powerful figure after a series of actions.

"Since that's the case, then I'll accept you as my student." Yuan Chenyang had already agreed outside, so he wouldn't say anything more. He pondered for a moment and said:
"You were able to get the job so quickly, which is the result of years of hard work, but your physical talent must also be quite good. I'll test you when we get back, and I estimate you'll definitely get a bronze rating, and you might even get a silver rating."

"By the way, what level of class is your [Skybreaker Warrior]?" he asked casually.

"Tier 1, top-tier," Su Chen replied.

Yuan Chenyang's smile froze on his face, and Bai Fengxi couldn't help but look over, a fleeting look of astonishment crossing her face.

"First tier, top tier?" Yuan Chenyang swallowed hard, his eyes once again filled with deep doubt.

"Hmm, do you need it? I can tell you." Su Chen seemed to have been prepared for this long time; he knew the job requirements as soon as he completed the job absorption.

Yuan Chenyang glanced at Su Chen with a complicated expression, then hesitated and said, "They are, after all, your parents..."

“My parents would be happy to see this too.” Su Chen said without hesitation, his expression sincere.

Yuan Chenyang was slightly taken aback, then laughed and scolded, "Good lad."

"Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing." Then he added solemnly, "Remember, don't tell anyone else about this. If you absolutely have to, just say that I gave you the job."

He knew Su Chen wasn't telling the truth. Could a top-tier first-level profession be found so easily? But he wasn't going to delve into it now.

Su Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had passed the first hurdle. He had originally planned to return to the city normally before getting involved with Yuan Chenyang.

In this unexpected situation, even with Lao Bai as guarantor, it would be difficult to dispel the other party's scrutiny and suspicion. At least the [Skybreaker Warrior] can serve as one of the visible benefits to establish a foundation of mutual trust.

The only thing that surprised him was that the value of a top-tier first-level profession was much higher than he had imagined, which greatly changed Yuan Chenyang's attitude.

At this moment, figures flickered outside the tent. All three fell silent, while one of the explorers shouted from outside:
"Minister Yuan, to avoid any hidden injuries, the city lord must conduct a thorough physical examination of all city guards and students."

"A physical exam?" Yuan Chenyang asked, slightly surprised. "Now?"

The guard outside the door responded, "Yes, it's Director Zhou's suggestion."
