Chapter 108 If nothing happens, there will be an accident.
Hearing Russell's doubts, Shi Wenrao fell silent.
Seeing this, Russell immediately said, "Sorry, Mr. Shi, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Hearing this, Shi Wenrao breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Russell would ask further: "Has Luo been able to adapt to life at Nanyang University recently?"
"What an abrupt change of subject." Russell chuckled inwardly, but kept his expression unchanged as he continued chatting with Shi Wenrao following his words.
However, he did have some speculations about the doubts just now.
"Is the rift between the court and the association so great in Nandu?"
"This Nandu is not peaceful either."
He originally thought that he would feel safe after coming to Nandu, but now it seems that it is hard to say.
Since the final award ceremony of the Jiang Province Unified Examination, Russell felt that the Association and the Imperial Court were two completely different forces.
It was only under external pressure that they reluctantly cooperated within the Ming Dynasty.
"But the imperial court is so stingy, is there anyone willing to work for them?"
It's no wonder that he had such thoughts. After all, he had never received any benefits from the imperial court since he became a card maker.
"Or is it because you're the teacher?"
Bai Yueming has been on the coastal defense line, and the coastal defense line gave Russell the feeling that there was only an association but no court.
Therefore, according to the faction classification, in Russell's mind, his own teacher should be considered as a member of the association faction.
"No wonder no one from the imperial court contacted me after the unified examination of Jiang Province. I'm afraid they have already assigned me to the association's side."
"And from this point of view, it is hard to say whether the Qiling Society is targeting the Association or the Ming Dynasty."
However, Russell still tends to believe that the Qiling Society was targeting the Ming Dynasty.
The Qiling Society really doesn't care about the lives of civilians.
"Is it possible that those masters would not cooperate with terrorists like the Qiling Society?"
Maybe?
But Russell was actually not too sure. Knowing the original direction of history well, he did not have any hope for the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy.
Thinking of this, Russell began to have some doubts about Miao Xuan's previous behavior.
"Can a brothel owner really get those materials?"
That’s right, before the Jiangxi Province Unified Examination, Miaoxuan gave Russell information about his opponent. Although it was not detailed, it was complete.
None of the seeded players were missed.
However, Miaoxuan's Yichunyuan is only slightly famous in Nandu. Where did she get the information of the contestants from other big cities?
Can we really find out just by relying on the girls in Yichun Courtyard?
"I don't think those teachers would go to a brothel." Russell thought to himself, "I can find out if I have a chance."
Even though he had a lot of doubts in his heart, Russell still showed excitement about entering the secret realm of welfare.
After a while, Russell said goodbye to Shi Wenrao.
Looking at Luo Su's back, Shi Wenrao showed helplessness on his face: "After being caught in the whirlpool, Luo's future life will probably not be easy."
"It's a pity that I'm just a little teacher and can't do anything."
"I'm sorry, Luo."
Day two.
Russell arrived at the government office in Luoxia District early in the morning.
Arriving at the front desk, Russell handed over his card maker certificate to the receptionist: "I'm going to the welfare secret realm."
The receptionist took Russell's card maker certificate and read the relevant information on the machine: "Okay, I will enter the permissions for you now, please wait."
After a while, the receptionist respectfully handed back Russell's certificate: "It has been entered, Lord Luo can go directly to the [Night Banquet] base." Russell nodded slightly, took the certificate, turned around and left the yamen office.
"I thought it would take some time, but it was unexpectedly so quick."
Outside the office gate, the black and red Pidgeot suddenly soared into the sky and carried Russell to the destination.
Arriving at the [Night Banquet] base, Russell showed his ID and was quickly led to the entrance to the secret realm.
"Master Luo, please wait a moment. Today, another card maker will enter the secret realm of [Night Banquet]."
Russell was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect to meet a card maker who also chose the [Night Banquet] secret realm by such a coincidence.
He had no objection to entering the secret realm together. After all, as a silver-level secret realm, [Night Banquet] should be quite large. He just chose a different area from the other party.
I just don't know if the other party has any ideas about the core materials of the venue card.
But he didn't say much, just nodded slightly: "I'll wait for him here."
After a while, a middle-aged man came to Russell with a yawning young man, nodding and bowing.
When he saw Russell, the young man's calm voice rang out in the audience: "Master Lin, I remember you said yesterday that only I would go in today, right?"
The middle-aged man called Mr. Lin had a drop of cold sweat dripping down his forehead when he heard this: "Mr. Wu, this Nanjing University student Russell is just a coincidence, a coincidence."
Hearing this, the young man showed a playful smile on his face: "Russell?"
As he spoke, he gently patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man beside him and said, "Lord Lin has been loyal to the court, so how could I blame you?"
The middle-aged man had a wry smile on his face, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: "If anyone believed you, I'm afraid the body is now stinking in some dark ditch."
If he couldn't afford to offend Russell on the opposite side, he would definitely not arrange the two of them on the same day.
I am just a small base commander, so let them fight each other for now.
The young man turned his gaze towards Russell who was looking at the two of them calmly. The playful smile on his face instantly faded, and he laughed heartily, "Are you the Russell who was accepted as a disciple by Master Bai?"
"My name is Wu Di, nice to meet you."
Russell looked expressionlessly at the young man performing face-changing in front of him, and said calmly, "I am Russell."
"Can we go in now?"
Hearing Russell's question, Master Lin immediately said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Luo, you and Mr. Wu can each choose an area."
"However, the materials for this [Destination of Death] are only available once a year. I'm afraid you will have to distribute them among yourselves."
Russell sighed: "Sure enough."
While he was thinking, Wu Di said with a gentle smile: "Brother Luo and I will discuss the ownership of this material. Lord Lin, you can leave first."
Lord Lin disappeared at the entrance of the secret realm in an instant as if he had been pardoned.
Looking at the so-called Lord Lin's appearance, Russell sighed inwardly: "He is not here with good intentions."
He didn't think that Wu Di, who could scare a base commander into this state, would be an easy person to deal with.
"Please, Brother Luo."
After glancing at Wu Di who was staring at him with a smile, Russell immediately stepped into the portal to the secret realm.
Seeing Russell disappear into the portal, Wu Di smiled and touched his chin: "Master Bai's disciple?"
"What an exciting coincidence."
