Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Winning the Academy Competition

The phone was quickly connected, and it was obvious that the person on the other end hadn’t rested yet.

A voice slightly cold, clear and casual,

“What’s up?”

“The person you asked me to deliver a gift to, she came to find me.”

Oliver White didn’t hesitate and said directly, “She wants to meet you.”

“Oh.” The person on the other end responded blandly, then straightforwardly refused, “No meeting.”

“I guessed as much, so she said you could set conditions.”

Oliver White said, “From what I gathered, she has to see you no matter what.”

The implication was that even if he refused, she would find other ways to investigate his information.

“Ha.” A light laugh came from the other end, inexplicably causing a slight itch in Oliver White’s ear.

He pulled the phone slightly away, only then hearing the person on the other end say,

“Then let her win the Academy competition first, tell her that if she wins, I will meet her.”

If she can’t even win the Academy competition, she doesn’t have the qualification to meet him.

He had no reason to meet her either.

The man’s voice carried a lazy tone, but the words spoken conveyed a sense of indifference.

Oliver White seemed accustomed to the person’s tone, didn’t ask more, just said,

“Okay.”

Oliver White originally thought the conversation would end there, but unexpectedly, the man on the other end rarely asked another question,

“How does she look?”

Oliver White couldn’t pinpoint what the “look” referred to and simply said,

“She’s very excellent, and quite interesting.”

After thinking, she added, “You won’t be disappointed when you see her.”

The implication was that Scarlett Jennings would win the Academy competition to meet him.

Cassian Wolf chuckled on the other end, only said “I’m waiting,”

and then promptly ended the call.

He thought for a moment, then dialed another number,

“The little demon that escaped to Sea City earlier, no need to send anyone to handle it for now.”

The man on the other end froze for a moment at his words, then responded,

“Okay, should I notify the Sea City Security Branch to handle it?”

“No need, just release a task on Spiritual Affairs.”

The man on the other end was a bit puzzled; wasn’t Mr. Wen most annoyed with cooperating with the Underworld?

Previously, when Spiritual Affairs proposed developing a Demon Energy input program to link the system with the Mystic Regulation Office, it was rejected.

Though puzzled, the man still respectfully complied.

Quickly, a new task message appeared on Spiritual Affairs.

…

Jennings Family.

Scarlett Jennings had accepted an Academy points task and wasn’t in a hurry to return to the Academy.

The Taoism Academy has always been quite lenient with its teaching, after all, the Academy’s teaching progress is not suitable for every student.

Students can choose their coursework based on their situation, even if they take on tasks outside, they can make up for it through online classes.

At the moment, Scarlett Jennings was sitting at her work desk, in front of her, the mobile big screen playing live lessons from the Academy’s seniors.

This class was her elective in Geomancy, while she listened to the senior’s theoretical knowledge of Geomancy Techniques, she concentrated her Spiritual Power on carving jade pieces.

The Jade Talisman for Kingston Jennings’ Soul Nourishment was already done, now she was working on Adam Jennings’ Benedict Jade piece.

The three-month deadline mentioned before was approaching fast.

While she was focused on her work, suddenly, a ball of white fluff scurried in from the small balcony nearby.

It was Little Pretty just back from a walk.

Its mouth held a string, with a turtle tied at the other end.

It was the one the system was inhabiting.

Scarlett Jennings wore the copper tail ring that fused with System Energy, naturally able to hear the system’s voice.

Though it was still a flat electronic tone, compared to before, the system’s tone seemed to have gained a bit more emotion.

[Although turtles live long, if you keep messing with the turtle like this, it’s going to be doomed sooner or later.]

Scarlett Jennings didn’t respond, she had already figured it out before.

This thing, although called a system, and even speaking like an AI voice module, actually had its own thoughts and emotions.

This was also why Scarlett Jennings allowed Little Fox to mess with it.

Because once it began to reveal its emotions, it would become accustomed to exposing more.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t pay attention to it, yet the system directly controlled the turtle to crawl towards her.

It wanted Scarlett Jennings to control her fox.

It couldn’t bully the turtle like this.

Although it was only inhabiting the turtle’s body, theoretically it wouldn’t empathize with the turtle, it didn’t know what kind of Sealing method Scarlett Jennings used.

Lately, it felt its senses were beginning to connect with the turtle’s.

Many times, it even felt like it was the turtle itself.

This was truly mortifying.

Ever since it was created, these were its most humiliating days.

Scooting along with difficulty, finally reaching Scarlett Jennings’ feet.

Just as it got close, Little Fox thought it was disturbing its owner and immediately rushed over to snatch the string off the turtle and dragged it far away.

System frustrated, continuing undeterred to crawl back toward Scarlett Jennings.

Yet when it was about to reach Scarlett Jennings again, it got dragged far away again.

Little Fox even started to find it amusing.

The third time it dragged the turtle far away and saw it not moving, nudging it with its paw from behind.

Keep crawling.

If the system could glare, every hair of Little Pretty’s would be pierced by its stare.

[Stop messing with me! Scarlett Jennings, control your fox!]

[Scarlett Jennings, I know you can hear me!]

The system, exasperated, Scarlett Jennings finally stopped her action in an unhurried manner.

Turning her head to glance at the little fox and turtle not far away.

The distance, seemingly far to the system-turtle, was actually just over two meters. Scarlett Jennings, hearing its evidently emotion-laden voice, finally signaled to Little Fox,

“Bring it over.”

As she spoke, she noticed Little Pretty was about to grab the string, thinking about the turtle shell being tugged left and right multiple times, she uncharacteristically showed consideration,

“Don’t pull the string anymore.”

Little Pretty paused in its action of grabbing the string, tilted its head, clearly understanding.

Looked down at the turtle, then quickly realized.

Since it couldn’t grab the string, it would have to grab the turtle shell.

Thus, from the system’s perspective, a mountain-sized fox, opened its canine maw and lunged at it.

System: …

It felt like it was going to be devoured by a giant beast.

And it was the turtle head-inside-the-shell view.

Fortunately, the turtle instinctively shrank into its shell, the system had to pretend it couldn’t see anything.

Little Fox, unaware of the system’s current breakdown, with a few quick jumps dragged the turtle onto Scarlett Jennings’ desk, then disdainfully spat it onto the table.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t expect this outcome, being disdainful of both the dragging and the dragged.

After a moment of silence, she only said,

“Next time, just grab the string.”

As she spoke, she petted Little Fox’s head and let it play around, then looked towards the system,

“Since you were created by the Heavenly Dao as a system, you should know a lot of things, right?”

For example, why is the Golden Light on Samuel Chalmers so special?

She hadn’t forgotten that the system had coveted her person before.
