Chapter 288 The More Normal, the Less
"What do you want to tell me?"

In the end, it was Shen Cheng who took the initiative to speak first. After all, Zhao Nanxing was Ruan Qingsha's teacher and adoptive mother, so even though Shen Cheng's current strength was not weaker than hers, and might even be stronger, he still maintained a certain respect for her.

Zhao Nanxing actually didn’t have anything special to talk about.

Before, she had thought about disciplining Shen Cheng and asking him to consider Ruan Qingsha more and stop flirting with other girls.

But then she changed her mind and realized that she was just Ruan Qingsha's teacher, not her biological mother.

Ruan Qingsha and Shen Cheng were just a couple, and Ruan Qingsha had already returned to Dragon Territory and might never be able to return to the Federation in her lifetime.

No one can tell whether there is a future between her and Shen Cheng.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Nanxing had no right to discipline Shen Cheng, both morally and logically.

"Thank you for this incident."

After pondering for a while, Zhao Nanxing finally expressed his gratitude: "Without the help of you Star Rangers, we would not be able to successfully destroy the headquarters of the Life Tribunal."

Shen Cheng looked at Zhao Nanxing in confusion, not understanding why she wanted to express her gratitude in this way.

It's not like Star Ranger's plan to destroy the Living Tribunal headquarters was to help her...

Wait!
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Shen Cheng's mind, and he blurted out: "You were the one who gave the information to Star Ranger? And you were also the one who blew up the nuclear power plant in the end?"

The reason why the Star Rangers gathered together to destroy the Living Tribunal headquarters this time was because someone gave them the intelligence of the headquarters.

In the end, when the rangers' plan was about to fail, four nuclear power plants were suddenly detonated, directly destroying the entire Living Tribunal headquarters.

Shen Cheng has always been very curious about the person who delivered the intelligence and the person who finally blew up the nuclear power plant, and he once suspected that both things were done by the same person.

And now Zhao Nanxing's thanks is simply an admission of guilt.

Come to think of it, apart from the Life Tribunal and the Star Ranger, there was only a third party, Zhao Nanxing, at the scene. Shen Cheng was still wondering why she appeared in the dungeon.

Zhao Nanxing did not deny it and nodded slowly: "It's me."

The look in Shen Cheng's eyes when he looked at her became a little complicated for a moment.

In just a few words he had guessed that Zhao Nanxing was using the Star Ranger to attract firepower for her so that she could successfully destroy the headquarters of the Life Tribunal.

However, the Star Sea Rangers were not aware of this. They were even worried about the safety of Zhao Nanxing who had sneaked in first, and had to take emergency action.

The final result was that except for Wei Yiting and Shi Liu, the other nine Star Rangers all died.

If Zhao Nanxing had told them the plan in advance, perhaps the outcome would have been different?

Facing Shen Cheng's gaze, Zhao Nanxing said calmly: "Do you think I'm despicable? I didn't reveal the plan to you in advance."

"a little bit."

Shen Cheng said honestly: "But it's just one thing. If it were me, I might do the same."

Because Zhao Nanxing only provided information and did not mislead or force the Star Sea Rangers to make a decision.

And even if they knew that they were being used by Zhao Nanxing, as long as they could successfully destroy the headquarters of the Life Tribunal in the end, I believe that with the character of the Star Sea Rangers, they would never refuse.

Shen Cheng didn't contribute much to this matter, and even had selfish motives from the beginning, so he has no right to blame anyone.

"Where did you get the information?"

Shen Cheng had read Yan Yubin's memories and knew that the Life Tribunal had been extremely successful in keeping its headquarters secret, and the Star Rangers had spent years trying to find the exact location.

Zhao Nanxing was just forced to leave Hanyun Prefecture not long ago, how could he get the information so quickly?

Moreover, she was able to successfully destroy four nuclear power plants, which shows that she must have sufficient knowledge about the Iron Dungeon to be able to do so.

Zhao Nanxing remained silent, as if weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After a moment, she confessed: "It was given to me by a mysterious person. I don't know the other party's specific identity. I also confirmed the authenticity of the information after careful verification."

The mysterious man not only told her information about the headquarters of the Living Tribunal, but also gave her the USB flash drive containing the special virus.

Zhao Nanxing knew that he, like Star Sea Ranger, was being used by others.

However, as long as she could deal a blow to the Living Tribunal, she was willing to do so.

"I have something to ask you, too."

Zhao Nanxing's attitude became serious, and he looked directly into Shen Cheng's eyes: "When the four nuclear power plants exploded, a huge figure tried to stop them. Why did that figure look exactly like you?"

Her words immediately made Shen Cheng's mind emerge with the image of a towering figure - Tianguan.

After the fight with Jing Lan, Shen Cheng was certain in his heart that this Tianguan was at least a person with legendary abilities, someone who mastered the power of destiny.

"Strictly speaking, it's me who looks exactly like him, not him who looks exactly like me. As for why this is the case, I'm afraid I'll have to ask someone."

"Ask who?"

"Du Tianming, do you know him?"

Zhao Nanxing recalled carefully, then shook his head, confirming that he had never heard of the name Du Tianming.

Shen Cheng explained: "Du Tianming is the most wanted criminal of the Life Court. He looks exactly like that mysterious man, and I am Du Tianming's son."

Zhao Nanxing was slightly stunned when he heard Shen Cheng say this secret.

Shen Cheng looked at her expression and laughed: "You don't think I grew out of the ground without a father or a mother, do you?"

There seemed to be a hint of smile on Zhao Nanxing's lips, but it seemed like there wasn't one: "What kind of land can grow something like you? I'd like to see it for myself."

"Then you will be disappointed. I was born alive."

Shen Cheng did not stop and continued: "As for the mysterious man in the Life Court, as far as I know, his name is Tianguan. He is the founder of the entire Life Court and has existed since the establishment of the Federation..."

Shen Cheng told Zhao Nanxing everything he saw from Yan Yubin's memory without reservation.

Zhao Nanxing was originally just wondering why Shen Cheng looked exactly like Tianguan.

But after listening to Shen Cheng's explanation, she almost suspected that this guy was deliberately talking nonsense to fool her.

A legendary figure who created the Life Court, promoted the establishment of the federal government, led the great development of science and technology, and advanced society into modern civilization. He lived for hundreds of years.

He has so many great achievements, but he lives in seclusion in the underground city and no one knows about him. Even his reputation has not spread outside. It sounds like a fabrication.

However, looking at Shen Cheng's serious eyes, Zhao Nanxing couldn't say the words of doubt.

Her reason made it hard for her to believe such words, but at the same time she felt that Shen Cheng would not lie about such a thing.

"How do you know these things?"

"Do you know Yan Yubin?"

"Members of the Council of Order?"

"Yes, it's him. He is also one of the high-ranking officials of the Life Tribunal. I used some method to get the information out of him." After seeing Shen Cheng's explanation, Zhao Nanxing had nothing to say and could only change the subject.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"I plan to go to the Eternal Empire to hide from the limelight."

Du Tianming asked Shen Cheng to go to the Eternal Empire to find him after he became the ace, and Shen Cheng also had too many questions and wanted to find Du Tianming to ask them clearly.

Now he can't go back to the Federation, the only two places he can go to are the Eternal Empire and Dragon Territory.

He was unfamiliar with the Dragon Territory, and there was a local named Ning Qing who could take care of him in the Eternal Empire. Besides, he was a vampire, so going to the Eternal Empire was like returning to his racial home.

Thinking of this, Shen Cheng found that he seemed to be taking one step at a time according to the contents of the prophecy.

When he first began to doubt the prophecy, he decided in his heart that he would never leave the Federation and go to the Eternal Empire no matter what.

In the end, circumstances and situations forced him to go to the Eternal Empire, exactly as the prophecy had said.

Occultism is so terrifying. Shen Cheng said that I have been obedient and asked for forgiveness.

Zhao Nanxing had no different opinions on Shen Cheng's decision: "Then I wish you a safe journey."

"What about you?"

Shen Cheng asked: "What are your plans?"

Zhao Nanxing looked across the Black Sea and towards the other side: "Like you, I have to go out and avoid the limelight for a while, so I plan to go to Dragon Territory for a stroll."

She turned her head and looked at Shen Cheng: "Do you have anything to say that you want me to bring to Ruan Qingsha?"

Shen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Then please tell him that I will definitely go find her."

Hearing this, a faint smile finally appeared on Zhao Nanxing's face.

The two returned to the villa, and Zhao Nanxing said goodbye to Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli.

"Thanks to you before."

Zhao Nanxing patted Xiao Qingque's shoulder and praised him, "You are very smart. You were able to guess my purpose and successfully blow up the nuclear power plant."

Everyone else, including Shen Cheng, looked at Xiao Qingque in surprise, not understanding what she had to do with blowing up the nuclear power plant.

Zhao Nanxing told everyone the details.

Finally, she secretly gave the USB flash drive containing the virus to Xiao Qingque, hoping that Xiao Qingque would understand her intention and inject the virus into the central control computer. This virus could not only detonate four nuclear power plants, but also invade the firewall of the black building, forcing Tianguan to choose between the two and unable to free up its hands to protect the underground city.

Xiao Qingque did not disappoint Zhao Nanxing. He finally successfully injected the virus and detonated the nuclear power plant himself.

After hearing Zhao Nanxing's explanation, everyone showed surprised expressions. They didn't expect that the person who finally destroyed the underground city headquarters was Xiao Qingque.

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Qingque coughed twice, then waved his hand with a nonchalant look: "I just did something insignificant, it's no big deal."

Only Shen Cheng and Yan Qiuli, who were familiar with her, knew that Xiao Qingque was pretending and was obviously extremely proud of herself.

If it had a tail, it would have already reached the ceiling.

"Well, goodbye, everyone."

After Zhao Nanxing said goodbye to everyone, he turned around and left without any regrets.

Everyone sent her to the outside of the villa, and looked at her back as she went across the sea, feeling a little melancholy.

After living at the seaside for about three days, Tianxuanxing, who had dealt with all the affairs, finally arrived, bringing news from the outside world.

As expected, the federal government issued the highest level of wanted notice for Shen Cheng, and the Life Court also secretly mobilized a large amount of manpower and resources to begin searching for Shen Cheng's whereabouts.

Not only Shen Cheng, but also the people around him are on the arrest list.

If Tianxuanxing had not been prepared in advance, he would probably not have been able to escape safely.

Shen Cheng was not surprised by the news, but he still felt as disgusted as if his phone had fallen into the toilet.

In this incident, he should be the most innocent person, because he was forced to be involved from beginning to end, and his purpose from beginning to end was just to find someone. Even Xiao Qingque, the guy who destroyed the headquarters of the Life Court with his own hands, is more guilty than him.

In the end, both the federal government and the Life Tribunal blamed Shen Cheng for the destruction of the underground city.

His physique that attracts hatred wherever he goes is still working, with promising results.

After arriving at Tianxuan Star, Shen Cheng told her that he had developed the aftereffects of Eternal Blood, but the sequelae mysteriously disappeared.

After listening to this, Tianxuanxing's eyes revealed a strong desire for knowledge.

"Are you saying that Xiao Qingque has some special physique that can help you eliminate the sequelae?"

"I think so, so I need you to carefully check Xiao Qingque's physical condition for me."

Tianxuanxing would of course not refuse, and she was also extremely curious about what kind of special physique Xiao Qingque possessed.

Shen Cheng used his alchemy skills to rebuild a sterile laboratory for Tianxuan Star, and used the core furnace to generate electricity instead.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

The ignorant Xiao Qingque was carried to the operating table by Shen Cheng.

She thought these two heartless guys were going to use her as a guinea pig, and she began to struggle in fear.

Finally, under Shen Cheng's order, she could only lie on the bed with a sad and angry face.

Although his body couldn't move, his mouth didn't stop talking.

"I have done meritorious service for the Star Rangers. I have blown up nuclear power plants for you. You can't do this to me."

Bai Qiu Ning was also called over to help, and together they conducted the most detailed examination of Xiao Qingque, including an autopsy.

"You guys are going too far. You want to dissect me while I'm still alive?!"

Seeing Bai Qiu Ning holding a scalpel with an expressionless face, Xiao Qingque broke out in a cold sweat. For some reason, he remembered how he was dismembered twice by a mysterious man.

No matter how Xiao Qingque resisted, the detailed examination of her was finally completed successfully.

But the examination results were unexpected. Xiao Qingque's physical data showed that everything was normal. He was just an ordinary vampire, with nothing special about him.

Seeing such test results, Shen Cheng thought he had guessed wrong, but Tianxuanxing had a different opinion.

"You said that Xiao Qingque was adopted by your father Du Tianming when she was young, which proves that she must have some special features. However, the current test results are normal, which is actually wrong."

Shen Cheng understood Tianxuanxing's meaning. The fact that Xiao Qingque was adopted by Du Tianming and even had to be taken out of the Eternal Empire to escape proved his uniqueness.

So the more normal she appears now, the more abnormal she becomes, as if she is trying to cover up something that is only making it more obvious.
