The Best Candidate

Teacher Ye woke up?

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow and patted Wu Yi beneath him, signaling them to continue keeping watch, while he himself lightly vaulted to the ground and walked toward the crowd of the Integration Faction.

At this time, besides Teacher Ye, Old Wolf, Mi Bo, He Chengxuan, Zhao Yi, and several other high-level combat forces of the Integration Faction were already sitting together. Their expressions were stern as if they were holding a meeting, and among them was mixed a Sun Bumian wearing a tang suit.

As Chen Ling arrived, Teacher Ye signaled him to sit down. At the same time, Mi Bo couldn’t help but speak:

“Teacher Ye, are we really going to the South Sea Domain??”

“Yes.”

“But…”

Mi Bo still wanted to say something, but seeing Teacher Ye’s eyelids drooping and his expression calm, he knew he had already made up his mind… Ultimately, Mi Bo couldn’t utter a single word of rebuttal.

“Then the problem now is how we bring these children into the South Sea Domain.” He Chengxuan followed Teacher Ye’s line of thought and continued to push forward. “Do we go in openly and aboveboard, or sneak in?”

Teacher Ye remained silent for a moment:

“If we can get in without alerting the higher-ups of humanity, that would naturally be best… After all, I don’t really want to deal with some of those people.”

After a moment, he added another sentence,

“But if the situation demands it, going in openly and aboveboard is fine too. It’s nothing more than a negotiation… No matter what price we pay, everything must prioritize the safety of the children.”

Wanting to quietly lead hundreds of children from the Integration Faction into the South Sea Domain during this critical period was almost an impossible task. Teacher Ye also knew this, so he was prepared to deal with the South Sea Domain head-on…

“But with so many of us, sneaking in isn’t realistic, right?” Zhao Yi frowned. “In the South Sea Domain, we have no inside contacts. They won’t open the door for us…”

“This is the biggest problem right now.” Teacher Ye spoke solemnly,

“Walking on foot from here to the South Sea Domain with so many children will take about four days… During this period, we need someone to enter the South Sea Domain in advance to gather information.

“On the one hand, they need to secretly prepare a residence to accommodate the children, and open the door to receive us in at the critical moment. On the other hand, they can make a backup plan, testing the attitude of the Domain’s higher-ups toward the Integration Faction to see if there’s a possibility for formal negotiation.”

“I’ll go.” Zhao Yi stood up without hesitation.

“You can’t.”

“Why???”

“Holy Son, you are careless in doing things. Even buying supplies runs the risk of exposure, and we still have to cover for you… This matter concerns the entire Integration Faction. You not only have to avoid the eyes and ears of the South Sea Domain while searching for a safe residence, but also have to adapt to circumstances to open the door for us, as well as quietly contact the higher-ups of the Domain… Can you do all that?”

Before Teacher Ye could speak, Old Wolf directly pulled off Zhao Yi’s cover, making Zhao Yi’s face flush completely red, unable to say a single word.

Just as Mi Bo and He Chengxuan were about to speak, a figure draped in a Great Crimson Theatrical Robe suddenly stood up.

“I’ll go.”

Everyone’s gaze looked toward Chen Ling, slightly stunned.

To tell the truth, although Chen Ling had stayed in the Integration Faction for so long, everyone’s impression of him was still mostly that of a “guest,” much like Sun Bumian. For him to be willing to step forward and help the Integration Faction at such a critical juncture was tantamount to providing charcoal in snowy weather.

“Teacher Ye needs to hold the fort at the Integration Faction, Zhao Yi is still injured, and the others more or less all have characteristics of Calamity Embodiment, making them easily exposed… It is most appropriate for me to do this.” Chen Ling paused for a moment,

“In this era, I’m afraid no one is more adept at these things than I am.”

When it came to infiltrating a Domain, the most adept was undoubtedly the Dusk Society. And Chen Ling was the ace of aces in the Dusk Society, an existence capable of paying wages to its members. No one had richer experience in this regard than him.

Teacher Ye gazed at Chen Ling for a long time. He didn’t make polite excuses but instead stood up, his tone more serious than ever before:

“I believe in Mister Chen.”

“This time, the future of the Integration Faction… rests in Mister Chen’s hands.”

Teacher Ye’s form of address for Chen Ling changed back to “Mister Chen.” At this moment, Chen Ling was no longer a student in class, but a benefactor stepping up to help the Integration Faction through a crisis, the hope of all the children.

“I’ll go with you.” Sun Bumian also stood up.

“No, you have to stay. These children won’t have food for four days, and they can only rely on your candied haws to sustain their lives.” Chen Ling said sternly.

Sun Bumian’s facial features instantly wrinkled in distress.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to help, but supplying candied haws for so many children, even if just to maintain basic bodily functions, would consume a massive amount of Sun Bumian’s energy… He wasn’t sure if he could do it.

“Mister Chen, I have an unreasonable request.” Old Wolf suddenly spoke.

“Speak.”

Old Wolf turned and walked behind him. A moment later, several children clustered around and walked over. On the back of one of the children lay a figure with a blurry consciousness. It was none other than Little Peach.

It could be seen that Teacher Ye and the others had already applied simple hemostatic measures to Little Peach, but Little Peach’s complexion was still deadly pale, and her breath was incredibly weak. Her entire being was like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment…

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling’s brows instantly furrowed tightly.

“That root that attacked her seems to carry some kind of toxin. Although we have already done simple treatment, her wound still seems to have gotten infected…” Teacher Ye immediately said, “The Mother Tree was destroyed, and the things in the laboratory didn’t survive. I have no way to operate on her right now… If we drag this out any longer, I’m afraid she will… before we even arrive at the South Sea Domain.”

“I understand.” Before Teacher Ye could finish, Chen Ling spoke decisively,

“I will take her with me to the South Sea. I will definitely find someone to treat her.”

Little Peach was Chen Ling’s tutoring teacher. During his time in the Integration Faction, Little Peach hadn’t worried about him any less. Now that Little Peach was heavily injured and on the verge of death, it was impossible for him to sit idly by.

“Great King, Great King! Take me with you!” Right at this moment, Little White hurriedly ran over from afar.

“Little White, what do you think Mister Chen is going to do? Don’t cause trouble!” Old Wolf reached out and was about to stop him.

Who knew that before Little White could even get close to Chen Ling, he directly knelt on the ground with a thud. He kowtowed several times loudly to Chen Ling and Little Peach in his arms, speaking with a face full of tear tracks:

“Little Peach got hurt to save me, it’s my fault she became like this… Just take me with you. Great King, you will be busy running around for the Integration Faction, so you’ll need someone to take care of Little Peach. I’m willing to serve you tea and water, please take me with you, Great King!! I definitely won’t hold you back, Great King!!”

After kowtowing loudly several times, Little White’s figure swayed, and his pitch-black self actually directly transformed into a shadow, fusing together with Little Peach’s shadow.
