After returning to Ji Palace, Qian Cheng immediately went to find Li Yuzhen, wanting to talk to him alone.
Li Yuzhen looked gloomy and asked in a weak voice, "What's the matter?"
"Teacher Li, my dad said there's something wrong with Qimen. Is that true?"
Li Yuzhen raised her eyebrows slightly: "This is not a question you should be considering. Just study hard."
"But because of Qimen's disregard, the three of us nearly died twice!" Qian Cheng's voice trembled. "The second time was okay, but the first time we encountered a special-class monster. If it weren't for that special-class monster's good mood... There's another thing I'm very concerned about. During this mission at sea, someone tried to kidnap Ai Yu. Did Ai Yu's ability leak out so quickly?"
Li Yuzhen pondered for a moment. "You're the most intelligent of the three of you, so I'll have to trouble you to keep a closer eye on Ai Yu. I've also discovered that someone is indeed targeting Ai Yu, and I'm investigating. As for Qimen, when you go on missions in the future, your own lives must be your primary concern, and you must obey Qimen's orders as appropriate."
"Okay." Qian Cheng nodded. "Teacher, you seem to be in a bad mood these past two days. Do you want to take some time off to have a good rest?"
It’s definitely not that he doesn’t want to take Li Yuzhen’s physical education class.
Um.
"It's nothing. I just haven't been sleeping well lately for some reason." Li Yuzhen raised his hand and pinched his brow. "The monthly exam is just over a week away. You probably don't have any field missions this week, so prepare well. Your performance at the end of the semester will be recorded."
Qian Cheng made an OK gesture and then asked doubtfully, "Do we have to record our performance in every monthly exam?"
Li Yuzhen explained considerately, "Yes. The first monthly exam is a literature test, the midterm exam is a martial arts test, the third monthly exam is a club competition, and the final exam is an individual competition. Therefore, the scores for each major exam will be recorded, and the final results will be calculated based on each performance."
Qian Cheng:?
"Ah? Ah? So difficult? How did Hua Jianzui and Gu Ran complete the credits and graduate within two years?" Qian Cheng scratched his head.
Li Yuzhen's expression froze when Hua Jianzui was mentioned, but Qian Cheng didn't notice. "Well, prepare well for the monthly exam. Remember to remind Zhao Liu'er to review well. She's not very good at academics, especially math and English."
“OK!”
"Well, go ahead."
In the office, Li Yuzhen crossed his hands, placed them on the table, pressed his forehead against them, and took a deep breath.
It is obvious that there is indeed a problem with Qimen now, but Li Yuzhen is not sure whether the problem comes from within or outside.
Ouyang Mingyuan entered the office and complained to Li Yuzhen: "Old Li, why don't I go teach physical education? I talk too much every day." He first poured himself a glass of water and then sat down opposite Li Yuzhen.
"Ouyang, who do you think is most likely to be a traitor if a traitor appears in Qimen?"
Ouyang Mingyuan took a sip of tea and replied, "It's not you anyway."
Li Yuzhen held his forehead with his hand: "Don't make trouble, I'm serious."
Ouyang Mingyuan then began to think carefully. "Before I became a teacher, I didn't find anything strange about Qimen. There's nothing wrong with the commander and executive officer of District Five. I don't know about the other districts. What about you? Who do you suspect?"
"Hua Jianzui was a well-known genius, even capable of battling super-class star beasts. Yet, due to the misjudgment of the District Seven commander, he died a heroic death. And the three freshmen in our class encountered situations beyond the average freshman's level." Li Yuzhen pressed his temple. "Oh, by the way, Ouyang, you know a lot about foreign countries. Do you know 'Raphael'?"
"Raphael Blood Agent?" Ouyang Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "I've heard of this name before. It's said that Raphael, like Xila, is called a [spiritual derivative]. Xila modifies our DNA, while Raphael can inhibit Xila's effects. However, Xia Country hasn't introduced Raphael Blood Agent yet. Compared to Xila, it's too unstable.
Why are you suddenly curious about this?"
"Qian Cheng and his team discovered the Raphael Blood Agent at the mission site. When they captured the ship's owner alive, the commander of District 9 suddenly ordered them to retreat. I suspect it's related to the Raphael Blood Agent."
Ouyang Mingyuan swirled the tea leaves in his glass. "The Raphael Blood Potion was developed by scientists from Tajikistan. Although experimental results show it can't absolutely reduce the Saliye Deviation, it's still highly regarded by many. Furthermore, according to gossip, the Raphael Blood Potion can, under certain circumstances, increase the Ram value of a Moon Envoy."
The two looked at each other, and Ouyang Mingyuan smiled with an ambiguous smile: "Sometimes I also wonder what you would be like if your Ram value increased."
Li Yuzhen obviously didn't intend to answer this question: "So, those Xia people on the ship came aboard just for Raphael's blood potion?"
"It's almost certain. They buy at a low price and then sell at a high price. Some wealthy people in Xia Country like this kind of exciting things. If you really want to find out what the Raphael Blood Potion is, why not ask your student Qian Cheng? After all, his father probably knows more than you and I. Money talks."
Ouyang Mingyuan drank the tea in his cup in one gulp and spat out the remaining tea residue in his mouth. "Well, do you have any ideas? If you really get the Raphael blood potion, can you give me some? I'll think about it and observe it."
Li Yuzhen glanced at the electronic clock on the wall: "Let's talk later, it's time for class."
"Goodbye." Ouyang Mingyuan waved his hand, poured the tea leaves in the cup into the trash can, poured it on the table, and went to sleep.

"What's wrong, brother? I seem to have seen you in a bad mood these past two days." Akashilia was playing with her mobile phone when she looked up at Jian Kaiheng who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking Huadu.
Jian Kaiheng shook his head. "Sister, besides us, who else is watching Ai Yu? Ling Xiaoan said that when Ai Yu was on the boat, she was almost kidnapped by unknown persons."
Akashilia paused the screen: "Non lo so." She picked up the cigarette box on the table, lit a cigarette for herself and took a puff.
"Half of the Raphael blood potions on the ship were bought by several wealthy merchants from Xia Country. I followed your instructions and bought ten of them. They're all in that suitcase. Do you want to send them to Zeng Tian?"
Acacia smiled faintly: "Non c'è fretta. Per il momento rimarremo tutti qui. (Don't worry, we will stay here for a while)"
"For Ai Yu?"
Akashilia nodded, acknowledging this statement.
Jian Kaiheng was somewhat helpless: "Although Ai Yu is incredibly talented and has great potential, it's not something you should care about as much as you do, sister."
Akashilia crossed her legs, one hand supporting her chin while the other brushed off her cigarette ash. A charming smile played on her face. "I believe in Lystra's prophecy. Even if Ai Yu doesn't join us, we still need to cultivate a good relationship with her. Ai Yu might become the next 'king' of Xia Nation."
Jian Kaiheng stopped arguing. "If Lystra thinks so, then so be it. Who was the last king of Xia?"
Akasiliya tapped her temple with her index finger. "I think her name is, Li Yuzhen?"
