Full-time Creation Master

However, Tang Yue's shyness quickly faded, and her blush turned into a furious red as she stared intently at her phone screen.

"Absurd, absurd!!" Tang Yue exclaimed angrily.

"What's wrong?"

"They're plotting to frame us..." Tang Yue handed Mo Fan a recent news report.

The little girl Lingling immediately spotted the news keywords: "snake shadow," "plague," and "poison"...

"Previously, a plague appeared in Baizhen, a post town near Hangzhou, and the news was completely blocked."

Two more unusual deaths were later discovered.

The two veteran hunters were directly corroded by the poison, leaving them unrecognizable.

For several days, they did not recognize the bodies as human corpses until recently when their identities were confirmed.

However, the cause of death was clear: the autopsy results indicated death by snake venom. Lingling picked out the important parts from the latest news article and read them aloud.

Mo Fan was also watching the news; it was all over his screen, and a few doubts welled up in his mind.

A seasoned hunter, huh?

Hunters and mages start as trainee hunters who are not actually recognized in the early stages, and can become ordinary hunters after accumulating 100 points!

Then comes the ordinary hunter, the advanced hunter, the elite hunter, the veteran hunter, and finally the hunter master and the hunter king!

Senior hunter mages can be considered the backbone of the middle class. They are usually high-level mages or outstanding mid-level mages with full mastery of their skills. Even some super-level mages who don't value hunter rank are at this level!

As for the higher-level Hunter Master, it's no longer something you can advance to simply by grinding for mission points!

You must complete a special hanging pool or a designated task to be promoted!

Mo Fan himself, despite his desperate efforts in Bo City, could only reach the rank of high-level hunter, unable to even advance to the rank of elite hunter.

Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, and the number of tasks is also limited. Moreover, many tasks only give money and no points, or only a symbolic one or two points!

Compared to the tenfold increase at each level, it's not even a drop in the ocean!

We've gone off on a tangent...

To Mo Fan's surprise, the two veteran hunters died so peacefully.

Not a single clue about the murderer was left?

Only snake venom remained?

wrong!

Snake venom?

snake?

What Teacher Tang Yue called framing?

Could it be that those people suspected this, so they could carry out their plan?

"Are they brain-dead?" Tang Yue exclaimed angrily. "If it really was the big guy's poison, those two hunters wouldn't even have been left with intact corpses!"

Why were two dead found this time, and why did they happen to have been poisoned by snake venom?

Or did it take so long to discover?

"The big guy is poisonous, but its toxicity is not released casually, and it will not be used on humans."

"If it really uses poison, there won't be a single living thing in the entire West Lake area," Tang Yue said angrily.

Tang Yue knew the Sky Serpent better than anyone else; it would never trample on any living being, especially the humans who had raised it.

"A frame-up! Someone must be framing Sky Serpent!" Tang Yue's face turned red with anger.

"Hmm... Ms. Tang Yue, your phone is ringing." Mo Fan pointed to Tang Yue's pocket.

Tang Yue answered the phone, her brows furrowed. Judging from her serious expression, the person on the other end of the line was likely her superior.

"You know it couldn't have been God!"

"No motive, no need, don't miss the exciting part: Chapter 202 Frames the Super-Rank Mage Xia Hai (Full Text Available Now, Click Here). Moreover, a god's poison couldn't possibly be incapable of even destroying a corpse and erasing all evidence..."

"........."

After a furious outburst, Tang Yue, nearly losing control of her emotions, hung up the phone.

As the saying goes, no one knows your innocence better than the person who framed you!

Tang Yue felt the same way. It was clearly impossible for Xuan She to do it. The so-called evidence could not withstand any scrutiny, yet everyone tacitly blamed it on Xuan She, who had worked tirelessly to protect the city.

Is this reasonable?

Tang Zhong also ended the communication in a few words, first comforting Tang Yue, and then taking his leave.

They just left in a bit of a hurry.

The Xuan Snake, who seemed innocent and indifferent, was left behind, along with the indignant Tang Yue and Mo Fan, who offered his concern.

As for Chu Ming, he left with Lingling, saying, "I'm going to look for clues!"

Hangzhou Magic Association Building!

Almost immediately, Chu Ming brought Lingling to watch the show—no, to look for clues!

We took the elevator all the way to the top floor of the building, where a conference hall with panoramic views and an elegant style was revealed.

Upon entering the conference room, a group of men in uniforms were guarding the entrance.

If Mo Fan were here, he would probably marvel at the power of the Inquisition, as even the guards at the outer gate were high-level mages!

After waiting outside for a short while, a man with cascading black hair came out and glanced at Chu Ming with his eagle-like eyes.

I was a little surprised, but I didn't say much.

He nodded slightly, gesturing for the two to enter the meeting room.

This caused Chu Ming to put the five-star hunter master certificate he had taken out back into his hand.

Generally speaking, Hunter Masters are divided into 1-star to 7-star. Once you become a Hunter Master, you have the right and obligation to participate in discussions on local security issues and have the right to vote!

This is the right of the Hunter's Alliance as one of the top ten organizations!

The elders of the Hunter's Alliance are only Hunter Masters of three stars or higher!

The conference room had a standard large round table, around which sat a group of well-dressed men and women, about seven or eight people.

Kuroba, as the local host and deputy chief judge, was far stronger than Zhan Kong, yet he remained standing, not entitled to a seat.

The guards outside are all high-level mages, and the people sitting inside are all at least super-level!

These are all authorities in the world of magicians!

The remaining twenty-odd people all stood to the side, and judging from their uniforms, they were mostly judges and court monks.

There were also some others, like Chu Ming and Lingling, who didn't even have uniforms; they were probably social mages or family mages who had come after inquiring.

Because Zhu Meng used the Creation Bell to suppress the luck and slightly distorted the outside observers' perception and impression of their master, he didn't recognize Chu Ming and even deliberately ignored the existence of Chu Ming and Lingling.

Just as Chu Ming and Lingling were about to find a corner to watch the show, they spotted a familiar face—Xia Hai, the vice chairman of Hangzhou Qiandao Water Source Company, a super-level mage, and also a hidden LV6 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with a level 4 soldier badge. He greeted Chu Ming with a smile.

It wasn't exactly deliberate; it could be explained as a businessman's instinct. It's likely that Xia Hai greeted everyone who came in!

Chu Ming nodded, just as he was thinking about this person's resume and experience...

Then a middle-aged man with a thick beard slammed his hand on the conference table and said righteously, "The man is dead, and you are still protecting that poisonous snake!"

I came from the Magic Palace not to discuss matters with you, but to be ordered to eliminate the hidden dangers of West Lake and restore peace to Hangzhou!

You'd better hand over the Sky Serpent as soon as possible so we can deal with it!
