A Top Scholar in Everything

Yi Xian was momentarily at a loss for words.

Baiyu was much more troublesome than she had imagined.

Furthermore, his current identity didn't make him afraid of facing a desperate situation.

No.

It was more like she was the one who would be caught by the net.

Yi Xian indeed had very few means to threaten Baiyu.

Even if his identity as a Black Moon Apostle were exposed, it would at most cause some minor trouble.

More likely.

Under the protection of these identities.

No one would truly believe the nonsense of a Black Moon Apostle.

As for her.

Aside from her identity as a professor at Celestial South Martial Arts University, she had no other protection.

Currently, Celestial South Martial Arts University was still being ravaged by foreign invaders.

She could imagine with her toes that once this period passed, even without mentioning other matters, just the Mechanical God Church bouncing back would mean Bishop Ying would flay her.

This woman.

Can be ruthless enough to cut herself when necessary.

The two had been at odds for a long time.

Now that the Black Moon Apostles were on the wanted list, it's easy to imagine Yi Xian's fate.

"I didn't mean to threaten you..."

Yi Xian was silent, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Now she was in a bind, the only way to threaten Baiyu was by going down with him.

But.

In her Tier Four strength, could she quickly kill Baiyu who possessed Forbidden Armament?

The possibility was very low.

And killing him would mean both she and Moon Lady would be buried alongside him.

More importantly.

Why kill him?

Just to vent the anger in her heart?

After all, he was still her student.

Yi Xian felt miserable.

If Baiyu didn't help them, they'd have to find a way to flee from East Prosperity Imperial to somewhere else.

The risk would be even greater.

"If you had come to me with an attitude of sincere discussion, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

However.

You're right.

When I was at the school, I indeed benefited a lot from you.

I can help you."

Baiyu's tone shifted, and he smiled.

Seeing the smile on her student's face, Yi Xian always felt that something was amiss.

A bit like a devil's smile.

"What do you want me to do?"

Yi Xian tightly clenched her teeth and asked.

"Nothing much, just acknowledge your mistake to me and it's over."

Baiyu said, "I'll take care of your identities afterward, at least in the short term there won't be any problem.

And even if something arises, you can seek refuge on Erza's territory."

"Admit a mistake?"

Yi Xian bit her mouth tighter, gripping the edge of her robe fiercely.

It wasn't such a big deal.

But.

It was humiliating.

Especially recognizing a mistake to Baiyu.

Simply... too humiliating.

"Do you think coming here with a recording device to gather evidence against me for threats isn't a mistake?"

Baiyu looked at her with an amused expression: "After all, we are teacher and student!"

"I... I was just afraid you wouldn't help us."

Yi Xian defended herself.

But upon seeing Baiyu's determined gaze, she knew there wouldn't be any room for negotiation in this matter.

She really had to admit her mistake.

Wavered for quite some time.

Yi Xian didn't utter a word.

Baiyu wasn't in a hurry either; if she didn't recognize her mistake, there would be no need for future collaboration.

"I was wrong."

After a long while.

Yi Xian squeezed out the words from her mouth.

Immediately afterward.

She seemed drained of energy, slumped on the sofa, and angrily looked at Baiyu: "Are you satisfied now?"

"Hmm, not bad."

Baiyu nodded: "I'll remember this for now."

As he spoke.

He took out his Rugged Diary, and casually wrote a page.

Yi Xian's facial muscles twitched slightly.

It was her first encounter with such an exquisite person.

Why hadn't she noticed he had this peculiar habit before?

"Relax, as long as nothing happens, I won't trouble you.

Don't expect me to inherit anything from the Black Moon God Church.

I am a law-abiding Imperial citizen, and I don't engage in such activities."

Baiyu spoke solemnly.

Yi Xian didn't voice her opinion.

Now she just wanted to survive.

Besides, the Black Moon God Church had already been destroyed.

Even if she wanted Baiyu to become the Sect Leader, it was impossible.

"Since you want me to arrange your identities, there are some things you'll need to follow my lead on, is that okay?"

Baiyu asked.

He was still quite envious of Yi Xian, as she controlled a large amount of knowledge in Mechanical Science and Magic Kinetics.

Such people were talents wherever they went.

In today's world, what was most important?

Of course, it's talent.

However.

Yi Xian had been wanted.

Even though only a small number of people knew about her identity as a Black Moon Apostle.

But those people.

Were enough to cost her her life.

She was able to live safely in Villiduo now.

Only because those who knew her identity were tangled up with the mess in Zenith City, unable to extricate themselves in the short term.

"What identity do you want? The safest would be to go to Erza's territory. No one will discover you there."

Baiyu said.

Yi Xian shook her head: "I want to stay in Villiduo; entering the Legendary Ship is easy, but getting out is difficult."

She also knew Erza was anchored underwater in Wind Dove City.

Isolated from the world.

Once inside, it was impossible to casually come out and move around.

Like being imprisoned.

Baiyu didn't say much, just replied: "That will be much more troublesome, wait for a few minutes, I'll ask around for you."

With that.

Baiyu dialed the Third Prince's phone.

Often, the rules were set by people, and with the status of someone like the Third Prince, coupled with his currently high reputation.

Arranging for two people was no simple task.

Moreover.

These two weren't heartless culprits, with Baiyu as a guarantor, Shangguan Zi agreed without hesitation.

"It's settled, there's an open position in the Inspection Department, are you interested?"

Baiyu put down the phone.

Yi Xian nodded, without any objections.

Thus.

Yi Xian and Moon Lady were arranged by Baiyu to become new members of the Inspection Department.

Of course.

This arrangement.

Was also meant to keep the two in check.

After all.

Baiyu still didn't know whether they had any other intentions.

If something happened under his watch, he could intervene immediately.

Of course.

Now it was also difficult for Yi Xian to make any moves.

Once Baiyu had a problem, their identities would be immediately exposed, meaning their interests were tied to Baiyu.

Thus.

Half a month passed quickly.

During this half month, besides visiting the Inspection Department twice, Baiyu spent most of his time in his apartment, studying Mechanical Science.

With Yi Xian's guidance.

Baiyu learned quickly.

Even from Yi Xian's years of experience, Baiyu was an absolute prodigy in absorbing knowledge.

Unaffected by Pollution Level.

And he could think outside the box, proposing many wild ideas.

This half month of living.

Also made Baiyu increasingly familiar with the slow-paced life in Villiduo.

However.

On this day.

Early morning, a knock on Baiyu's apartment door disturbed him.

Moon Lady, half-asleep, opened the door only to find a group of uniformed individuals standing solemnly at the door.

The peaceful life was disrupted.

Her small face turned pale.
