Chen Ling happily stood up from his seat and headed towards the door.
The Instructor suddenly spoke:
"Student, where are you going? Class isn't over yet. Can you show some respect?"
Everyone immediately looked at Chen Ling upon hearing this.
Chen Ling glanced at the male Instructor:
"Oh."
Then, he continued walking towards Du Yin, not giving him any face at all.
"Hmm?"
Sui Li'er looked up and instinctively wanted to follow Chen Ling.
But Chen Ling turned back and said:
"Stay in class. I'll be back in a bit."
"Okay~"
Sui Sui nodded lightly.
The male Instructor on the stage immediately looked upset.
Just then, Du Yin suddenly spoke:
"Excuse me, Instructor Chen Bai, I need to speak with this student about something."
Chen Bai realized it was Du Yin when he heard this. Du Yin's words gave him an out, and he immediately went along with it:
"No problem, no problem. Alright, just now we were talking about the history of the Fire Element Country..."
Chen Ling didn't care about the history of the Fire Element Country at all. He followed Du Yin all the way to a dim little room within the Academy.
Du Yin snapped his fingers, and a stream of Curse Power flowed from his fingertip to a lamp on the ceiling.
After receiving the Curse Power, the lamp lit up.
This was a storage room, and the smell of dust was somewhat choking.
On the ground were three Dark Curse Masters bound, covered in bloodstains, with messy hair, and horrifying scars all over their faces.
They looked miserable, but thinking about how they were cannibals made one feel that this was still getting off easy.
[Scan!]
With a thought from Chen Ling, everyone's information appeared before him.
[Dark Curse Master: Shang Jing
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Realm: Advanced Little Curse Master
curse star: Earth Element & Capricorn & 221
Curse: Allergic to sunlight]
[Dark Curse Master: Shi Geling
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Realm: Advanced Little Curse Master
curse star: Water Element & Cancer & 9922
Curse: Has hemorrhoids 0]
Chen Ling: ???
Then he had a question...
If the Thousand-Year Kill was used on him, would it add points or subtract points?
[Dark Curse Master: Ke Tiancheng
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Realm: Intermediate Little Curse Master
curse star: Wind Element & Gemini & 26521
Curse: Must be caught when doing bad things]
Chen Ling took a brief look at the information of the three and felt unsatisfied:
"Why are their realms so low?"
Du Yin was a little surprised when he heard this:
"How do you see the realm of Dark Curse Masters?"
Chen Ling said helplessly, "I see it with my eyes. Why are they all Little Curse Masters?"
Du Yin was somewhat speechless:
"Grand Spell Masters were handed over long ago. The compensation for Little Curse Masters is harder to negotiate..."
"Their value isn't high, but catching them is also difficult. The Law Enforcement Team keeps pushing the price down, and the Association isn't willing."
Chen Ling nodded upon hearing this:
"Then where is the Law Enforcement Team?"
Du Yin was startled:
"What do you want to do? You're not thinking of asking the Law Enforcement Team for people, are you?"
Chen Ling didn't answer him:
"Forget it if you won't say."
I'll find them myself later.
So, he smiled and walked up to the three, extending his hand:
"From today onwards, you are mine!"
"Let's shake hands!"
The three Dark Curse Masters were all taken aback by this, and for a moment, they seemed to see a glimmer of hope...
Inner thoughts: Can we finally leave that terrible place?!
From the wounds on their bodies, one could see how miserable their lives were after falling into the hands of the Association.
Whether they fell into the hands of the Association or the Law Enforcement Team, they would definitely not have a good life.
The people from the Association and the Law Enforcement Team also suffered casualties while capturing these beasts, so how could they possibly let them off easy?
"Come, let's shake hands and get acquainted."
Chen Ling grinned, and a cold light flashed in his hand, cutting all the ropes binding them.
However, they still had forbidden Curse stones shackled on their hands, so they still couldn't release Curse Techniques.
But this also made them happy inside. No one would speak so kindly to a Dark Curse Master.
Chen Ling was the first person.
Inner thoughts: Since you have such a good attitude, if we ever manage to escape, we won't eat you.
Then, one by one, they extended their hands with the forbidden Curse stones, unable to hide the smiles on their faces.
[Ding~ Binding targets: Shang Jing, Shi Geling, Ke Tiancheng]
[Ding~ Target Shang Jing is excited, points +100~]
[Target Shi Geling is happy, points +1000~]
[Target Ke Tiancheng, points +200~]
Chen Ling was slightly more satisfied upon seeing this. At least none of them had points below 10.
That meant they had potential.
If their points were below 10, Chen Ling would have returned them on the spot.
Du Yin watched Chen Ling's actions with a frown the entire time:
"Can I ask what you want to do with them?"
Chen Ling said lightly:
"They are my important subordinates."
"Subordinates? What do you need them to help you with?"
Chen Ling withdrew his hand, used the system to clean off the bacteria and dirt, and then casually put it in his pocket.
"That's none of your business."
Du Yin: ...
The three Dark Curse Masters in front of them felt a surge of schadenfreude when they heard Chen Ling talk back to Du Yin, and their eyes changed when they looked at Du Yin.
Their faces clearly read: Bye-bye, sir!
"Then I'll take them away?"
Du Yin nodded:
"Alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ling lightly patted Shi Geling in front of him.
"Swish!"
He suddenly disappeared!
Ke Tiancheng, Shang Jing, and Du Yin beside them were so scared their eyes widened.
What happened? Where did he go!
Before they could react, Chen Ling quickly patted the other two.
"Swish swish~"
They disappeared simultaneously.
"They... where did they go?"
Chen Ling said calmly:
"Sent them home."
Du Yin showed an expression of disbelief:
"You, how did you do that?"
Chen Ling smiled:
"Guess?"
The methods of a God, even if he explained it, Du Yin wouldn't understand.
[Long-Distance Target Spatial Teleportation]
At this time, class was over and school was dismissed.
Everyone who was leaving had left, while Sui Li'er sat in her seat quietly waiting for Chen Ling.
She wanted to go home with Chen Ling.
"Are you waiting for him? Sui Sui?"
Zuo Yuan said softly.
"Yes~"
Sui Li'er nodded gently.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"I... I'll wait for you. I'll leave after you do."
Sui Li'er was startled, waiting for me?
Are you worried about me?
Her heart immediately warmed. She didn't expect this deskmate, who seemed cold, to be so warm-hearted~
"Thank, thank you~"
"You're welcome."
After saying that, Zuo Yuan sat quietly in her seat, not looking at Sui Li'er.
Because Sui Li'er was looking at her, it made her feel a little embarrassed too.
Only then did Sui Li'er realize that Zuo Yuan actually wore a male Academy uniform!
And she had tied up all her hair, plus her facial features were very defined, making her look quite handsome.
"You look so good in this outfit!"
Sui Li'er praised sincerely.
Zuo Yuan was startled upon hearing this, and looked at Sui Li'er, smiling softly:
"You look good in yours too, very beautiful."
She scanned up and down, then noticed the strap tied to Sui Li'er's leg.
"Your, your stocking strap, it's loose..."
"Hmm?"
Sui Sui lowered her head to look.
"Oh~"
She quickly reached out her small hand, wanting to tie it tighter, and casually asked at the same time:
"Zuo Yuan~ Why do you wear men's clothes...?"
Zuo Yuan pursed her lips upon hearing this, and said softly:
"I..."
