"I'll go find it now."
The assistant nodded repeatedly and turned to head for the data library.
Meanwhile.
On the way back to Shou'er University in Shou'er City.
Zhang Wei held Lu Lianxue's hand, chatting and laughing with Zhang Chao and the others. Zhang Chao was laughing the loudest, exclaiming:
"Haha, do you guys remember the president's smile? Such a professional fake smile. I feel like he must be cursing us like crazy in his heart."
Zhang Wei smiled and said:
"Perhaps not just us, he probably cursed our entire ancestry too."
Just then.
Wu Nian clasped his hands together and said:
"Amitabha, Zhang Wei, aren't you afraid of a setback? Asking the president to find ghosts for you. Although Buddha said we shouldn't speculate maliciously about people, it's not good for me to say this, but I feel like the president might set a trap for you."
Mentioning traps, Zhang Chao's smile faded, and he looked over:
"Remove the 'feel.' The president will definitely set a trap. I guess if I were the president, with his dark little mind, I wouldn't find a simple ghost for Zhang Wei. I'd find a fierce one to make it difficult for Zhang Wei."
Before he finished speaking.
Zhang Chao directly asked:
"Zhang Wei, don't be careless just because you have a national-level artifact. Ghosts from every country are different. For example, in Europe and America, there are vampires and succubi. What if a certain country sends a special kind of ghost, that would be troublesome, like a psychological attack type."
Wu Nian agreed, clasping his hands together:
"Amitabha, I agree with Zhang Chao's idea. If the president and the others know about your fan artifact, they might find one that's difficult to deal with using the fan artifact."
Lu Lianxue also paid attention then:
"Zhang Wei, have you thought of a countermeasure? Tell us quickly."
"That, it's a secret."
Zhang Wei naturally hadn't thought of anything, because with his ability to be immune to all evil, he didn't need to consider these things. However, to prevent Lu Lianxue and the others from worrying, he could only say it was a secret.
In response.
Zhang Chao held up his middle finger and said:
"Damn it, playing coy again. What's so hard to say about this? Zhang Wei, you probably haven't thought about it at all, and just casually said it's a secret, right? Hurry up and tell me, or I'll assume that."
"Dame yo."
Zhang Wei crossed his hands.
Just as Zhang Wei was about to playfully argue with Zhang Chao.
Ring ring.
His phone rang. He picked it up and saw the caller ID – Huang Qingshan.
"Huh? Captain Huang?"
Zhang Wei was a little surprised.
Zhang Chao and Wu Nian, who were leaning in out of curiosity, also froze for a moment.
"Huang Qingshan? Who is that? He sounds a bit familiar, but I can't quite recall."
"Amitabha, Zhang Chao, Huang Qingshan is the newly appointed commander in the Northeast. The last time Xiao Monk and you went to support the Northeast, we met Zhang Wei. It was Captain Huang Qingshan who led the team."
"Ah! It's him."
Zhang Chao patted his head, finally remembering who Huang Qingshan was.
He couldn't help but look at Zhang Wei with some curiosity. How long had it been since the incident in the Northeast, and why was Huang Qingshan still looking for Zhang Wei?
Meanwhile.
Zhang Wei didn't notice Zhang Chao's gaze and answered the call:
"Captain Huang, why are you calling me today?"
"Haha, things have been much calmer in the Northeast since the Senluo Division refined the Soul Summoning Banner. I'm very idle every day. Speaking of which, Zhang Wei, I saw the forum, and wow, you're amazing. Congratulations on becoming a Half-step True Dragon Guard and refining a national-level artifact."
In his words.
Huang Qingshan, located at the headquarters of the Northeast Wei Dao Division, looked on with emotion:
"My strength can't keep up with you anymore. I thought my recent strength improvement was quite good and I could catch up to you."
He recalled the time of the incident in the Northeast when Zhang Wei's strength improved rapidly. At first, when he met Zhang Wei, his strength was still crushing Zhang Wei. But in just a few months, Zhang Wei not only caught up but also surpassed him in strength. After all, in his youth, he was also one of the top geniuses in the Northeast.
"Captain Huang, you flatter me. It's just a small improvement. But Captain Huang, you wouldn't be calling me just to say this, would you?"
"Of course not. After all, I'm the commander of the Northeast now, and I'm still very busy. Today, I'm definitely calling you for a reason. Haha, Zhang Wei, do you remember that you promised to help treat Elder Master Huang?"
"I remember, I haven't forgotten. I was wondering why Captain Huang hasn't contacted me. Have others already found the medicine to treat Elder Master Huang?"
"That's not it. I wanted to talk to you about this today. Actually, during this period, my division organized a second, third, and fourth batch of people to go to that place, but they all failed. Sigh."
Huang Qingshan said, his face showing some worry.
Meanwhile.
Zhang Wei said with some surprise:
"Four batches went? Wait, Captain Huang, why didn't you arrange for me to go?"
"Cough, this is a long story. We were originally going to arrange for you and Master Wu Nian to go a while ago, but... an order came from above. Do you know Director Sheng?"
"Sheng Xuan, Director Sheng?"
Zhang Wei hesitated before speaking. Why was Director Sheng involved in this matter?
Just then.
Huang Qingshan's voice came:
"We were originally going to arrange for you, but Director Sheng, for some reason, while investigating the Soul Summoning Banner, learned that you were going to be arranged to go to that place. He told us not to arrange you yet, saying that your future is limitless and there's no need to risk yourself at this time. If you were to die, Great Xia would lose a True Dragon Guard."
"Director Sheng values you highly and thinks you have great talent. Even if you don't join the Wei Dao Division, you can still become a True Dragon Guard in the future. He doesn't want Great Xia to lose a True Dragon Guard, after all, True Dragon Guard level figures are scarce in any country."
Zhang Wei was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't expected to attract so much attention from Sheng Xuan, who not only helped him collect intelligence but also cared about him and didn't want him to go to that place.
At this time.
Huang Qingshan continued:
"Now, four batches of people have died consecutively. Even the other iron coffin zombie we found, he was a candidate to replace the Senluo Division's sealed zombie. It can't be helped, since the Senluo Division's sealed zombie escaped, but that iron coffin zombie also died."
"Although Elder Master Huang's condition can be delayed for another year, after four consecutive batches, both the Wei Dao Division and the Huang family have confirmed that sending more people to that place will result in similar outcomes, unless it's someone special like you, Master Wu Nian, or a sealed zombie. Otherwise, going is death."
"So, after deliberation and with Director Sheng's approval, I've come to find you, Zhang Wei. After this exchange student program ends, do you want to go to that place?"
Huang Qingshan coughed, as if afraid of being overheard, and lowered his voice:
"Elder Master Huang's condition has worsened. The original plan was for it to last two years, but now it's not possible. If we don't get that thing by the end of this year, Elder Master Huang will die. So, we have no choice but to find you. Director Sheng is also aware of this, which is why he agreed to let you go."
