Chapter 370: Peeling Back the Cocoon
Shunde District, one of the seven districts in the imperial city.
The Li family house, one of the four wealthy families, is located here.
A large villa complex composed of hundreds of single-family villas is located at the most prosperous foot of Shunde District.
The entire villa complex is surrounded by high walls, and there is a special patrol team composed of spiritual institutes that patrol around the high walls of the villa complex day and night.
Such a spiritual patrol does not enter the empire's security system and belongs to the Li family.
Although they do not have the right to enforce the law, if they encounter a situation where someone wants to break into the Li family's house, they have considerable authority to attack.
The scope of this authority, in general, as long as the trespasser is not killed, there will be no problem.
Of course, even if you kill ...... If the intruder doesn't have any background, there will be no problem either.
At this time, in the villa belonging to the head of the Li family, Li Minglun was frowning and listening to the news reported by his subordinates.
The content of the news is all related to Ye Ning.
Previously, in order to investigate Ye Ning's situation, Li Minglun mobilized a large number of manpower and resources.
Just to avoid trouble, the corresponding investigation was carried out without much fanfare and was carried out very covertly.
As a result, there was a lot of delay in time, and it was not until today that there was a certain result.
After a long time, after the clansman's report was over, Li Minglun waved his hand to let him exit the study, and he stood up, paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.
"Before the college entrance examination, in the consignment hall of Canglan City, a new structure of the basic level spirit guide suddenly appeared, and in a very short period of time, these new structure of the basic level spirit guide appeared, as many as a thousand pieces...... But it didn't take long for there to be no similar basic-level spirit guides in the consignment store, so ...... What is the purpose of the other party?"
Li Minglun walked to the window of the study, looked at the green trees outside the window, and continued to mumble to himself: "This brand-new refining structure is greatly superior to the existing structure, which makes the main refining sect led by the Yunxiao Sect very frightened. However, the follow-up investigation failed to find any useful clues. Seem...... All clues and traces have been artificially destroyed. ”
During that time, Zhuang Bieli and Cao Deying went to Canglan City at the same time, Cao Deying did not stay for a long time, and soon returned to His Majesty, but Zhuang Bieli stayed, and did not return to the imperial capital until about a month before the college entrance examination began. So...... What is Zhuang Beili staying in Canglan City for so long?"
"If it is really as Xiao Ran guessed, Zhuang Bieli stayed in Canglan City for the sake of that student named Ye Ning, this matter ...... But that's where it gets interesting. Zhuang Bieli was obviously because the branch office of the Yunxiao faction in Canglan City mailed a new structure of the spirit guide to the research institute, which attracted his attention and curiosity, so he decided to go to Canglan City. ”
"As a result, after going to Canglan City, he finally got in touch with that student named Ye Ning? Cao De should go to Canglan City, only based on His Majesty's will. And in a small place like Canglan City, except for the spirit guide of the new structure that can attract His Majesty's attention, there is nothing else that can attract His Majesty's attention. ”
"Therefore, the clues and traces about the new refining structure are likely to have been destroyed by Cao Deying! This has caused the people of several major sects to be unable to continue to track down. This has something to do with that Ye Ning...... It's still not right! The brand-new refining structure, how can this kind of thing be related to a junior in high school?"
Speaking of this, Li Minglun subconsciously shook his head, and his brows couldn't help frowning deeper.
But Xiao Ran's analysis is right, if an ordinary senior high school student does not have enough special features, how can he attract Zhuang Bieli's attention? Unless there is no connection between him and Zhuang Bieli, but he is applying for the examination from the Holy Academy...... Well...... Hmm, if that Ye Ning is really involved in the structure of the new refining weapon, then there will definitely be traces left in his college entrance examination questions!"
Li Minglun's eyes lit up.
At the same time as thinking of this, he had already dialed a number directly with the communication spirit guide he carried.
The number was quickly connected, Li Minglun didn't say hello, and said bluntly: "Qingping, I need all the details of Ye Ning's answers in the recruitment exam from the Holy Academy, and I need it now! How long will it take to give it to me......?" Okay, I'll hear from you. ”
Hanging up the communication, Li Minglun took a deep breath and sat back in his chair.
The whole person seemed a little uneasy, and subconsciously kept looking at the time displayed on the communication spirit guide.
Just after ten minutes, a series of text and pattern messages came into the communication spirit guide.
Li Minglun couldn't wait to check it out.
However, soon, a look of disappointment appeared on Li Minglun's face.
Because judging from the content of Ye Ning's point recruitment exam, all the point recruitment questions related to the spirit guide, and Ye Ning's solution methods, are completed through the existing theory and structure.
There's nothing new in it!
"Isn't ......it wrong? That Ye Ning and Zhuang Bie's separation have nothing to do with it? The reason why I applied for the entrance examination from the Holy Academy was just a coincidence? No...... No! There won't be so many coincidences! Especially in a small place like Canglan City! There are so many coincidences, which means that there must be a problem behind it!"
Li Minglun shook his head vigorously, always feeling that he should have ignored something.
But what exactly he had overlooked, he had no idea what he had for a while.
"That's right! Assuming that the new refining structure is indeed related to that Ye Ning, and then assuming that Zhuang Bieli is indeed related to that Ye Ning, then judging from the time Zhuang Bieli has been in Canglan City, he may ...... Have you the ability to help that Ye Ning cover up?"
"Since Ye Ning is so prominent, before the college entrance examination, there must be a move to activate the joint entrance examination system in advance. Can it be ...... His Majesty made a slightly abrupt will before the college entrance examination, if you link it all together......"
Li Minglun's breathing became heavy.
After a moment of uncertainty on his face, he suddenly dialed his communication guide again.
The spirit guide was quickly connected, and Li Minglun said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Qingping, during the point-to-point activation process of the joint entrance examination system before this year's college entrance examination, all the information records that have been banned are recorded, do your Ministry of Education have the authority to get them?"
"Is there no way? You're the executive ...... Well, I see. It's nothing, it's just a little thing, I want to get enough convincing evidence, well, it has something to do with that Ye Ning. ”
After a few perfunctory words, Li Minglun hung up the communication spirit guide, and the expression on his face became complicated.
"If the new refining structure is really related to that Ye Ning, this thing ...... It's not easy to deal with......"
