Chapter 1950
Chapter 1950
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Dylan's slightly sarcastic mutter was barely audible.
But everyone present was a Star Rank expert; how could they not hear it?
The fiery-tempered Yan Ji couldn't hold back any longer, her beautiful eyes widening suddenly.
His long hair moved without wind, and his body temperature suddenly rose. He coldly snorted:
"We can accept missions however we want, who are you to tell us what to do?!"
"Yan Ji, don't worry."
"Don't let our presence be detected by the Holy Spirit Cult before the mission even begins."
Lan Yu quickly pressed down on her shoulder, but her eyes also flashed with displeasure.
Although Yueying, with her cascading silver hair, didn't speak, her grey gem-like eyes had turned cold.
'Dylan, that guy, is so impatient!'
Hughes inwardly groaned, but reacted quickly, apologizing profusely:
"Please, Your Highnesses, calm down. Dylan is young and ignorant and has offended you all. I apologize on his behalf!"
He turned around abruptly and shouted at Dylan, "Apologize now!"
Dylan clearly hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Yan Ji and the others.
Despite his resentment, he had no choice but to reluctantly bow his head in the face of the teacher's intimidating presence.
"I apologize, I spoke without thinking and offended everyone..."
Hughes quickly smiled and smoothed things over, saying:
"I have more contact with my two students regarding the Holy Spirit Church's missions. You can ask them for other details."
"Not sincere enough."
Xu Jingming, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, saying calmly:
"Alright, let's not involve Dylan in the next mission."
He hates incompetent teammates and internal strife.
Dylan showed obvious dissatisfaction from the beginning, so he naturally had no reason to tolerate it.
"this....."
Hughes paused for a moment, then tried to argue further: "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Although he has already handed over this task to Starry Sky Academy.
But after it's finally completed, they will still get a share of the credit.
If Dylan is kicked out, then all 23 years of his career will have been wasted.
"You seem to have misunderstood something."
Xu Jingming raised his eyelids, his clear, cold eyes looking at him:
"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you."
This task was issued by Starry Sky Academy, and we accepted it.
Your responsibility is to cooperate with us and provide all necessary support.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.
"Command is in our hands, not yours."
Of course, you can also choose to let Dylan continue participating in the mission.
However, we will truthfully report this situation to the inspector.
Xu Jingming said lightly.
The moment the word 'inspector' was uttered, Houston's expression changed drastically.
As a peripheral member of the Eternal Star Alliance, he knew all too well how terrifying the Inspectors were.
Those cold, ruthless beings wearing silver masks are specifically responsible for handling internal affairs of the Covenant.
And these people in front of me.
Without a doubt, they are core members of Starry Sky Academy, with a status far higher than those of the peripheral members.
If things escalate, they will definitely be the ones who suffer.
The Eternal Alliance has strict rules and regulations.
The final outcome could even be that they are expelled from the Eternal Star Alliance!
"No, Your Highness, please calm your anger!"
Hughes hurriedly said, "We will absolutely obey the commands of Your Highnesses. Dylan will not participate in the next mission!"
His voice was trembling slightly.
He spent countless efforts and went through many hardships to obtain the status of an outer member of the Eternal Star Alliance.
We can't let this one task ruin everything.
"Teacher?" Dylan was stunned.
He never expected that his favorite teacher would give in so easily.
"Shut up! Don't participate in the next task."
Hughes snorted coldly, unleashing a powerful aura of a fourth-level Star Realm expert that suppressed Dylan completely.
......
After this little incident, Dylan never spoke again.
Hughes became even more respectful, and even the young girl Thea's expression showed a hint of fear.
This made Xu Jingming feel somewhat emotional.
This is the power of the core members of the Eternal Star Alliance.
Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, Dylan alone would be in a lot of trouble.
......
"Although the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult is here."
But it's just an empty shell. We've explored it countless times over the years, but we've never found any trace of the demon.
We suspect that the true core of the Holy Spirit Church is not here.
The limousine eventually stopped inside a villa.
After Hughes led Xu Jingming and the others into the villa and sat down, he immediately began to speak.
"Tomorrow is the Holy Spirit Church's once-every-ten-year Sacred Heart Festival."
There will be two venues in Xuanxing City for hosting large-scale festivals.
In previous years' investigations, this type of festival has shown the highest probability of believers disappearing.
"Your Highnesses, shall we go to the site to investigate tomorrow?"
Hughes tentatively asked.
Then the holographic projection was turned on, showing two locations in Xuanxing City, named 'Yulong Square' and 'Xihua Square' respectively.
The two locations are approximately 100 kilometers apart.
"Oh? It seems we came at the right time."
After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming made the arrangements:
"We split into two groups."
Hughes, you go to Jade Dragon Square with Blue Feather and Flame Princess. Moon Shadow and Thea, come with me to West China Square.
"it is good."
"no problem."
Lan Yu, Yan Ji, and the others nodded in agreement.
They had already decided that Xu Jingming would be the team leader while they were still on the spaceship.
If we start now, they will naturally follow our instructions.
Hughes, however, was somewhat surprised.
You should know that he is a fourth-level Star Realm expert, the strongest combat force on the surface.
The other party told me to follow the others. Are the prodigies of Starry Sky Academy really that confident?
However, what he didn't know was.
Xu Jingming's current peak combat power is already comparable to that of a sixth-level Star Realm demon beast.
As a cultivator at the fourth level of the Star Realm, he naturally wouldn't care.
What time does tomorrow's event start?
Xu Jingming asked again.
“Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock,” Hughes replied.
"Alright, let's rest for a while and meet again tomorrow morning."
Xu Jingming nodded.
"Your Highnesses, please go upstairs to the second floor. Rooms have been prepared for you to rest."
Hughes quickly stepped forward to guide them.
"Hmph, we participated in this Thanksgiving Festival once before, and we didn't find a single thing!"
I refuse to believe they can actually find anything this time!
After Xu Jingming and the others left, Dylan snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied.
"Let's keep quiet. They're not people we can afford to mess with."
Thea couldn't help but offer some advice.
She was also unhappy that her mission had been taken away.
But the other party is a core member, so there's nothing that can be done even if they're dissatisfied.
"I know! I'm just not convinced!"
"Just wait and see, Thea. You're going to go with them tomorrow; you're destined not to get any information."
Dylan said confidently.
It was as if I could already see the scene tomorrow where Xu Jingming and his group would return empty-handed.
How could these freshmen, who had clearly only recently entered the academy, possibly complete the task that he failed to do?
