Chapter 1635: Slander (Part )
Jing Yuexin did not release any aura. As the national goddess of the empire and the image spokesperson of Digital Phantom, there was no need for her to do so.
She simply said, "We kill people because they are spies for the Alliance!"
"Oh my god!" Bashar was really shocked when he heard this. "Master Jing Yuexin, you must be responsible for your words given your status!"
The other party was the only Supreme who was younger than him, and he could finally stop being treated with contempt.
He said seriously, "This concerns the reputation of Teikyo College, so please be careful with your words."
His words were stern. Maintaining the reputation of the academy was something he had to do, even if it meant sacrificing his life for it.
This is the awareness that an elderly vice president should have.
"Tsk," Jing Yuexin snorted contemptuously, "Are you threatening me?"
“Not really,” Bashar saw that the other party already had three supreme beings, so he simply put life and death behind his mind.
"I just ask you to produce evidence. The honor of Teikyo Academy... must not be tarnished!"
Jing Yuexin was of course just saying it casually - she was angry and she had to vent it out!
Just as she was about to get more angry, another wave of supreme majesty came over her, and Qu Jianlei appeared beside her.
He said calmly, "The evidence is in the league, we didn't bring it back."
"If you must ask, I'll give you two key words... Taiqingxing and Tianwen Project Team!"
Other teammates may not be aware of the Empire’s understanding of the Alliance, but the information capabilities of Qianhe, whom he has come into contact with, are extremely strong.
"Tianwen Project Team?" Bashar raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had never heard of this name.
This matter involves front-line secrets. Not to mention that he is a retired vice-president, even the current president of Teikyo College may not be aware of it.
What he knew was that the other party had a fourth Supreme—the potential of this digital phantom was truly terrifying.
However, the more this happened, the more he gave it his all. This is probably what people mean when they say "getting older, getting stronger".
Anyway, he didn't think he would be able to go back after coming here, otherwise why would he, at his age, come forward?
He said seriously, "I have never heard of this project team. Please help me solve this problem."
"Are you crazy?" Qu Jianlei snorted. "If I can tell you, why would I only tell you the key words?"
Then he looked at the colonel who was listening and asked, "What should we do if ordinary people ask about military secrets?"
The colonel was enjoying the fun, but was startled when he heard this. He actually asked about me?
If it were a colonel of ordinary rank, he might not know the Tianwen project team.
Those in the front-line war zone may know this, but as for ordinary colonels...what's the point of knowing this?
Fortunately, he came here to witness the fight between Digital Phantom and Teikyo Academy. As it involves the former, the visitor's level of security clearance is very high.
So he knew this project team, but it was really unusual to describe the former head of Teikyo Academy as an ordinary person.
However, Tianwen is indeed too confidential, and only the empire's professional think tanks in the academic community are qualified to know about it.
So he just replied calmly, "Sir, we also want to know about Tianwen's matter."
Qu Jianlei answered straightforwardly, "How much you can find out depends on your own ability. Don't ask anything else."
The colonel was silent for a while before he looked at Bashar and said, "Sir, if there is more to say, I don't need to say more, right?"
"Who knows what's going on?" Bashar was anxious and angry. "This involves the honor of Teikyo Academy!"
The colonel answered simply, "Sorry, this question involves the safety of the country..."
"Teikyo College was one of the initiators of the earliest information barrier proposal. Please take care of yourself."
But Bashar was still unwilling to give in. "Colonel, I know the importance of military secrets."
"But as a member of Teikyo Academy, I cannot tolerate anyone deliberately slandering the academy!"
The colonel glanced at him calmly and said, "Let's put it this way. The Empire now has the upper hand over the Alliance, and the Tianwen Project is one of the turning points."
That was all he could say.
However, before he could finish his words, Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, "You slander me, do you want to die, old man?"
Well, this time no one called me a little guy or a little brat, but this name is more insulting.
What shocked Bashar the most was that the other person was actually younger than him... and much younger!
This is wrong. The other party would never use this name.
But this made him even more unacceptable, so he made up his mind again - I didn't want to go back alive this time! "You..."
"All right!" Stander, another acquaintance of Kofu, spoke up in time, "Old Dean, you are tired from the journey, take a rest."
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei, "Since you said the deceased was suspected of being a spy, why didn't you hand him over to the government or the military?"
Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "We have killed more than one or two spies. Why should we explain our actions to anyone?"
It was still a very arrogant answer, but this time, Stander didn't care.
Although he is also one of the three old supremes, he came here this time just to complete the commission of the academy.
The academy sent three people here. Even though they are very old, it is not entirely true to say that they were sent to die.
The appearance of the three old men is mainly to put pressure on the Digital Phantom - you can see clearly, none of them are afraid of death!
In fact, Stander himself doesn't want to die. Even though he is over 280 years old, he still has about 20 years to live.
If death is not an option, who would actively seek it? And it is also a common phenomenon that people become more afraid of death as they age.
Stander believed that if it was purely for the sake of maintaining the honor of the college, he would not mind taking the risk.
But it is obvious that the academy sent them here for its own interests!
Since there were other reasons, Stander felt that it would be a bit unfair for him to sacrifice himself for it.
——It’s fine if you guys are targeting other people, but you actually dare to covet Digital Phantom’s things. Aren’t you a bit arrogant?
The most important thing is that the other party’s answer is not only strong, but also involves a considerable degree of privacy.
So Stander really had no intention of confronting the other party head-on.
He just said in a deep voice, "I would like to ask you, can we provide that nebula for concentrated research?"
"Sure," Qu Jianlei answered casually.
When Stander heard this, he was delighted - could he get a bargain this way?
However, the next moment, the other party said calmly, "The Empire does not respect the fruits of our labor, so we can also let it down."
As soon as the words were spoken, there was complete silence all around, and even Bashar opened his eyes wide in shock.
After a long while, the colonel coughed lightly and said, "How about we pause this conversation for a moment?"
"Okay," Qu Jianlei nodded, and then said, "But we don't have that much free time to argue..."
"Two days. I'll only give you two days. I also want to know who ordered the Imperial Capital Academy to come here!"
"Instigated..." The officials who were listening were stunned. "Isn't that a little bit ridiculous?"
He really wanted to say, was this a bit presumptuous? But in the end he didn't dare to finish.
"What's going on?" The paranoid man's face darkened. "Who would dare to pick a fight with us if no one ordered them to do so?"
Finding fault... The official curled his lips subconsciously. You are really skilled at putting accusations on people.
"Why are you pouting?" Dorgan said calmly, "We want to find out who is behind this. Is that wrong?"
"That's right!" The official shook his head decisively and chuckled, but he sighed in his heart.
Now things are getting worse and worse!
"There is no mastermind behind this," Bashar could not help but say. At this moment, he had to maintain the reputation of the academy.
He asked with a gloomy face, "Someone from our academy was killed. Is it wrong for us to ask...?"
Jing Yuexin's eyes flashed coldly, "What can you use to guarantee that there is no mastermind behind this?"
"Or are you the mastermind behind this?"
"Master Jing Yuexin!" Bashar said sternly, "I respect your cultivation very much!"
"But if you deliberately slander me, I will fight to the death to get an explanation!"
"Fight to death...just you?" Jing Yuexin didn't even look at him, but just snorted coldly.
"What's going on? Are you the only one allowed to throw mud at Digital Phantom? We don't even have the right to doubt him?"
"We didn't..." Bashar replied in a low voice.
He wanted to explain more, but when he saw Stander winking at him, he finally shut up.
He stopped talking, but Jing Yuexin snorted coldly, "Remember, you are the ones who started the dispute!"
Qu Jianlei added, "But when it ends is not up to you!"
After he finished speaking, the people from Digital Phantom did not linger any longer and all stood up and left.
Seeing this, the guests decided not to stay any longer and got up to leave.
The people from Teikyo Academy were all traveling together. Halfway through the journey, Bashar snorted coldly and spoke viciously.
"These guys are too arrogant. They are so arrogant even after killing people... Let's apply for special support from the academy."
"I don't agree," Stander said lightly. Although Bashar was the vice president before his retirement, he was not much worse.
So he had the courage to directly sing the opposite tune, "I think the other party is on the verge of exploding."
"So what?" Bashar said unhappily, "When has Teikyo Academy ever been afraid of threats?"
"It's not a question of whether or not we're afraid," Stander said without hesitation, "but the difference in strength is too big!"
"Is the Imperial Academy weak?" Bashar was so angry that he almost laughed out loud, "Just because the other side has four supreme ones?"
"Four of them showed up today," Stander said calmly, "They definitely have more than four supreme beings!"
"Don't be unconvinced. Needless to say, there should be at least one supreme being with water attribute, right?"
Old Mrs. Jia has appeared on behalf of Digital Phantom too many times. Even though she didn't come this time, others will definitely not forget it.
One of the three elders, the only unnamed Supreme, sighed quietly, "Only five? I don't think so!"
Bashar remained silent for a long time.
