Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 569 - 439: Someone You Can’t Afford to Mess With

Cheng Qingshan also knew that Gavin was inflexible, always acting rigidly and never believing he was wrong.

But no matter how iron-faced and impartial you are, do you have to give me that look?

His expression darkened slightly, "Don't play this game with me, where are the documents for the transfer? Show them to me."

"It happened suddenly!" Gavin responded sternly with a solemn face, "Mr. Cyan Mountain, are you really going to make things difficult for me?"

"Damn it, I'm trying to save you, you know?" Cheng Qingshan muttered, waving him over, "Come with me."

Gavin was indeed inflexible, but not completely rigid. Seeing this, he followed Cheng Qingshan to the side.

After walking out about over three hundred meters, Cheng Qingshan quietly asked, "Is it a serious matter?"

"Don't pry into it," Gavin also lowered his voice, but his attitude remained firm, "Say what you want to say!"

"Are you a fool?" Cheng Qingshan looked at him with exasperation, "Didn't you realize the other side is very powerful?"

Gavin snorted disapprovingly, "I've seen many unreasonable people, especially from your academic crowd."

"Speak nicely," Cheng Qingshan also snorted, "I'm not afraid to say you really can't afford to mess with her."

"Hmph," Gavin snorted lightly at first, then asked in a deep voice, "From the government or the military?"

A woman of this age could only have family with power behind her.

"The family has this," Cheng Qingshan raised a thumb, a universally recognized gesture, "Can you handle it?"

"Hmm?" Gavin was stunned for a moment, then snorted again, "A big family?"

Cheng Qingshan understood the question and answered solemnly, "No matter how big the family is, a B-level this young."

After pausing, he added, "That female B-level is her designated bodyguard."

"A B-level guard," Gavin smiled dismissively, "Not a big deal."

"Stubborn, aren't you?" Cheng Qingshan sneered at that, "I don't believe you're not scared!"

As a Supreme, it's practically a death exemption card hanging on her back, killing this A-level Military Discipline Officer might not even get her killed.

After pausing, he muttered quietly, "Besides, she's just a teaching assistant, got it?"

Gavin was taken aback by this, pondering for a long time before asking, "Don't tell me, that professor's family also..."

"Exactly what you think," Cheng Qingshan mumbled quietly, "Seems like your brain hasn't rusted through yet!"

Then he turned his head, "See, another young B-level."

By this time, Zi Jiu Immortal had already arrived, blocking in front of Xiang Xue.

She was always about the procedure, almost rigidly so. The military wanted to take people without papers; how could she agree?

Gavin, seeing this, was again stunned before nodding, "She is... indeed young."

Worse than facing the wrath of one Supreme is the wrath of two Supremes.

He was genuinely a bit frightened now, seeing that the female professor was clearly intent on protecting her teaching assistant.

"Young?" Cheng Qingshan sneered, indicating with his chin, "That man is another assistant, even younger."

"Stop saying," Gavin was genuinely a little flustered, "Don't tell me his family also has... huh, just a Modified Warrior?"

"He can suppress an A-level in combat," Cheng Qingshan's voice dropped further, "Do you believe it?"

"Suppress an A-level..." Gavin's brow furrowed. He really couldn't believe it.

If it weren't Cheng Qingshan speaking, he would probably have cursed.

The military has lots of Modified Warriors, but he'd never heard of something this outrageous. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

In fact, even now he was highly skeptical, "Can he break the defense?"

Cheng Qingshan responded nonchalantly, "As long as he strikes first, the A-level won't have a chance to retaliate."

Gavin fell silent; as a Military Discipline Officer, he'd captured Superpower Warriors many times and had extensive combat experience.

Yet even so, it took him a long time to even imagine what such a scene would look like.

Then he spoke with amazement, "Then his Spiritual Attribute... it must be very strong?"

Those with rich experience can deduce almost everything out of thin air.

Cheng Qingshan nodded at his words, "He really might awaken his Spiritual Attribute later on."

After pausing, he asked again, "Do you think such combat ability can be ordinarily cultivated?"

Upon hearing this, Gavin's eyes lit up, "This might be uncertain; I really want to witness his combat power."

Cheng Qingshan heard it and couldn't help but shake his head. He wanted to tell the other person that this was the true toughest person to provoke.

But it seemed... he had the opposite effect; this inflexible thinker wanted to challenge him instead.

Seeing him shake his head, Gavin spoke in a low voice, "Okay, I understand the situation, let's ask on the spot then."

He finally decided to take a step back, but the four people opposite weren't yielding at all.

Because it involved sensitive matters, he hoped others not involved could wait outside.

However, Aunt Liu refused, Zi Jiu Immortal was unwilling to leave, and Qu Jianlei stood there silently.

Gavin felt like he was going to explode again, but remembering there were two Supremes standing behind them, he simply couldn't muster the courage.

He could only look at Cheng Qingshan, "Mr. Cyan Mountain, I've already conceded... this is quite difficult."

"You haven't made any concessions at all!" Xiang Xue retorted without hesitation, "Our demands are legitimate."

She had always been a very proud person. When she first met Qu Jianlei, she was also quite overbearing. Now, she was just being herself.

Gavin rolled his eyes and genuinely believed what Cheng Qingshan said.

With this type of spoiled brat behavior, if her family didn't have a Supreme, it would probably be difficult for her to live safely to this age.

Let alone becoming a B-level Warrior.

Cheng Qingshan coughed lightly, "Gavin, how about this, you explain the seriousness of the situation first... mention what you can."

Gavin hesitated briefly before speaking in a deep voice, "It involves the disappearance of an A-level Warrior from the military."

"A-level…" Zi Jiu Immortal pondered for a moment before cautiously asking, "Could it be the Redeemer?"

Besides this, she really couldn't understand why the other party would take Xiang Xue away.

"Oh?" Gavin's eyes instantly focused, as sharp as an eagle's, "You know?"

Instinctively, he reverted to the sharpness of a Military Discipline Officer and forgot that the other party's family also had a Supreme.

Cheng Qingshan also realized upon hearing this. He smiled wryly, "That A-level wouldn't happen to be Jettel, would it?"

"Jettel... was indeed a former alias," Gavin thought for a moment and then nodded.

Then he looked towards Cheng Qingshan, "How did you... also know about this?"

"Jettel was caught at our academy," Cheng Qingshan replied helplessly.

"Didn't you investigate his past?"

"That, I truly do not know," Gavin was astonished, "He was sent by the Star Realm to atone, and the military doesn't inquire about the past."

This is the disadvantage of duties being separated, but having clear responsibilities also helps to avoid larger pitfalls.

Jettel was the A-level with the Wood Attribute, who had twice attempted to assassinate Xiang Xue unsuccessfully.

"Jettel's disappearance..." Zi Jiu Immortal sighed helplessly, giving Xiang Xue a glance: this problem was truly hers.

Xiang Xue understood as well. She helplessly spread her hands, "I've been at the academy this whole time, with no record of leaving."

Upon hearing this, Gavin also understood. He looked at Xiang Xue and asked, "He originally intended to target you?"

Once Jettel was sent to the Patrol Guard, he openly admitted that he indeed wanted to kill a B-level but failed twice.

Unsuccessful crimes were relatively lighter, even if he acted within the academy, such aggravating circumstances meant little.

Later, official investigations discovered he was involved in several murders, which led to his being sent to the military for redemption.

When Jettel entered the military, he applied for protection, saying he feared Xiang Xue's retaliation.

The military certainly wouldn't investigate a B-level Warrior based on baseless claims from a Redeemer, even if he was A-level.

However, three days ago, Jettel went missing shortly after leaving the hospital, not far from its gates.

The military took two days to confirm he was indeed missing, and another half-day to confirm it was a forced disappearance.

The reason was simple; his personal belongings were still at the deposit area—if he were fleeing, he would have taken them.

Escaping during redemption added severity to the issue, especially since he had applied for protection.

Hence Gavin's trip to the academy.

He knew Jettel's combat power; for someone to make such a person disappear, Xiang Xue must have had backing.

For this reason, he brought along many people, adopting a poor attitude—intending to resolve the matter with force.

However, Gavin thought at worst there were a few A-levels supporting Xiang Xue, as A-level Warriors were relatively common.

He indeed hadn't expected that Xiang Xue had a Supreme behind her.

After understanding the events, he realized the entanglement within.

Assassinating a Supreme's relative out of revenge ended with Xiang Xue considering the academy's response, sparing him.

Once he became a Redeemer, he was then placed by the Supreme...

Gavin, understanding this, was somewhat helpless, "Teacher Xiang Xue, who is the Supreme in your family?"

He had investigated her background, knowing she was an orphan, and her true identity clearly disguised by someone of great energy.

"I refuse to answer that question," Xiang Xue shook her head, responding crisply.

"You have no evidence proving someone from my family acted, so I have no obligation to respond."

Evidence... Gavin was as helpless as he could be, trying to accuse a Supreme was indeed challenging.

The process was tedious, not to mention that evidence was essential. For a Supreme's autonomy to be questioned, another Supreme had to intervene.

But deploying a Supreme against another for a Redeeming A-level... that was unrealistic.

Nonetheless, having been a Military Discipline Officer for a long time, he immediately chose another approach.

"Aren't you worried he fled on his own, posing a threat to you?"

"What can I do about it?" Xiang Xue replied indifferently, "After all, he didn't kill me both times."

She planned to ask tonight if her family acted, and if not, she indeed had to be cautious.

But knowing her dad's methods, since the guy was exposed, he likely wouldn't be lucky.
