339 I Canst Tell You! (2/2)
Intrigued, Wang Baole asked a few more questions. Lin Tianhao had no details to share though. He only said that his father had only told him so much and that he was to pass the message on to Wang Baole.
Wang Baole set the matter aside for further thought. Half a month soon passed. Lin Tianhao returned to office. With him back to handle the school's administrative matters, Wang Baole had an easier time at work. He spent most of his time cultivating and going through the blueprints for his stronghold.
Wang Baole kept analyzing and perfecting the blueprints. They were near perfect. His research on the construction puppets was also near completion.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
He spent a great deal of time crafting construction puppets. Following the completion of each puppet, he would inspect them and identify areas for improvement. He would perfect his design, then go back to crafting new puppets.
Half a month passed.
During the month, Wang Baole was busy cultivation and crafting, but he noticed the donkey's strange behavior on multiple occasions. It would run out excitedly early in the morning and return home with a pleased look on its face.
That made Wang Baole curious, but he didn't spend too much time thinking about it. After all, no one had come knocking on his door asking for compensation for something the donkey had eaten. The school administration was running smoothly.
He stopped thinking about it. He could tell though that the donkey had gone to quite a few places, including Zone Thirty-Six where the military base was.
Did it go looking for the white donkey for revenge? The thought flashed across Wang Baole's mind. He didn't think too much about it though. He focused on his cultivation and spent the remaining time crafting puppets.
A dozen or so days passed. Wang Baole had crafted a few dozen puppets. Then, he suddenly received a notice from the Colony Disciplinary Order while in seclusion.
The Colony Disciplinary Order had sent someone over to escort Wang Baole back for a chat!
If it had been before his incident with Li Wan'er in the cave, Wang Baole would have been annoyed. After so many months had passed since the incident, Wang Baole couldn't help the surge of certain emotions when he received this invitation from the Colony Disciplinary Order.
Looking for me again? Does Li Wan'er miss me or something? Wang Baole blinked. He coughed and pondered for a while before leaving the academy, following the Colony Disciplinary Order officer back to their headquarters.
He didn't see Li Wan'er when he arrived. He was brought to a room, and the doors shut behind him. An array formation was activated immediately, and a sudden oppressive force appeared and weighed down on him. Wang Baole's face darkened. He eyed the shut door coldly.
”Colony Disciplinary Order, what do you mean by this!?”
”What do we mean? Wang Baole, you don't know what's going on even though you've committed a crime?” As soon as Wang Baole spoke, Zhuo Yixian's voice rang in the room. On the other end of the room, a small door appeared and opened. Zhuo Yixian appeared with seven to eight cultivators behind him. He had his hands behind his back while he sneered.
”What a pity. He actually came as we told him to. We had called for him like what we were supposed to do. If he had refused to obey or tried to drag his feet, according to the procedures, I could've sent someone to arrest him directly. Everything would be easier then.” Zhuo Yixian walked into the room and stared coldly at Wang Baole. He sighed inwardly. However, he thought of the evidence he had gotten his hands on this time and grew incredibly smug. He thought to himself secretly that he would show Wang Baole what he was capable of this time. He'd skin him alive and break a few bones. He would stop calling himself Zhuo Yixian if he didn't do that.
Wang Baole frowned when he saw Zhuo Yixian walking in. His eyes grew cold. He sat down, the gears in his head spinning fiercely. Was this about him practicing the Dark Art?
But no one should know about this!
Wang Baole frantically tried to analyze the situation while appearing calm and composed. It was then that Zhuo Yixian spoke again, with a voice of authority and power. His voice rang loudly in the room.
”Wang Baole, a few months ago, on the day when the blood-colored mist and winds erupted on Mars, the military had gone looking for you but found you missing. Where were you that night? What did you do? Who did you meet?”
Wang Baole, who had been busy thinking about the Dark Art, froze when he heard that. He raised his head and stared at the condescending looking Zhuo Yixian. He blinked. A strange look fell across his face. He was no longer beset by uncertainty. He stopped thinking about the Dark Art. His posture relaxed. The expression on his face shifted though. He said nervously, ”I can't tell you!”
