When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 312: Where Did You Get That Confidence?



Xiang Beifei looked at He Caiwei thoughtfully.

This guy was really full of prejudice against Elder Luo.

Almost every sentence he uttered seemed to lead everyone to think about Elder Luo, as if he wanted to smear him. Maybe right at that moment, Elder Luo was lying on top of some skyscraper, counting stars, and had become a suspect for no reason at all.

In Xiang Beifei's view, these people seemed a bit brainless.

Why didn't they consider that Elder Luo's spiritual power was so strong that it was enough to shield everyone from noticing? If it had truly been him who came here, how could they have detected his Orifice Perception?

Unfortunately, Xiang Beifei was only an observer at the meeting and could not participate.

"Ah, I've caused him trouble again."

Xiang Beifei felt somewhat sorry.

This was also why he often chose to act alone and did not involve Elder Luo, so that in case anything went wrong, it wouldn't affect him as well.

But in reality, Xiang Beifei had still oversimplified things.

People like He Caiwei, when wanting to sideline someone, could throw dirt on anyone no matter the circumstances.

Such suspicion was fundamentally absurd; Elder Luo's spiritual power was much stronger than Xiang Beifei's. If Xiang Beifei could use his spiritual power to protect his own Orifice Perception from being detected, how much more so could Elder Luo?

Indeed, when one is determined to frame someone, they can completely ignore logic.

In fact, it wasn't the first time He Caiwei had done something like this. Whenever the alliance discussed matters and encountered unresolved questions, he would subtly or openly direct suspicions toward Luo Yunxian.

Whether he could persuade others was not important; as long as he continued to establish a target of suspicion for everyone, eventually, he could significantly weaken Luo Yunxian's authority in the alliance.

The alliance was a mixed bag; everyone came from nine elite universities, and there were various factions. People were divided into two camps regarding Elder Luo.

Because of Luo Yunxian's name, some people even jokingly referred to these two camps as the "Leisure Faction" and the "Idle Faction."

The Leisure Faction— a pun on "having Luo Yunxian" present—hoped for Luo Yunxian's presence.

The Idle Faction, also termed as "dislike," firmly believed that Luo Yunxian should be discarded and that such a person should not exist among the upper echelons.

He Caiwei was truly a vanguard of the "Idle Faction."

Therefore, whether Xiang Beifei came tonight or not truly didn't matter; even if he did not, He Caiwei would still find another opportunity to pin something on Elder Luo next time.

"He really went out of his way."

Xiang Beifei calmly gazed at He Caiwei, who was neatly dressed and imposing.

In everyone's mind, He Caiwei could not compare to Elder Luo's position. Instead of striving to close that gap with his own capabilities and proving himself by achieving great things, he only thought about how to suppress his predecessor to elevate his own authority.

He even resorted to various means to keep watch.

It just wasn't clear how this guy's system was supposed to function?

He sized up the "Only I Unique System." The name sounded grand, but unfortunately, its strength was limited, not allowing him to see the detailed interface of the other's system or to know how to get involved in the other's missions.

Otherwise, they might have taught this guy a lesson!

The hall fell into silence, with other SRs and SSRs still searching around. For a moment, no one spoke up, but now that He Caiwei had brought it up, even Fu Mingpu could no longer be sure.

Because if it really had been Luo Yunxian who came in, they indeed would find it very difficult to locate him.

However, just then, a familiar and leisurely voice came from outside.

"It's quite lively in here!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Luo Yunxian swaggering in from the entrance.

Everyone's expression changed!

It was as if speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived.

Even Xiang Beifei, who was sitting on the side casually enjoying the spectacle, widened his eyes in surprise!

Had you made a mistake, old man!

You didn't go count stars late at night but came here instead!

Xiang Beifei was quite troubled; he had not known that Elder Luo had traveled all the way from the school's border to the heart of Jiuzhou these past few days, making the situation even worse.

"Do you still need to think more now!"

He Caiwei sneered.

They had just become suspicious, and Luo Yunxian had arrived right afterward; it was as if he was admitting guilt himself.

Fu Mingpu's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Elder Luo walked over with a calm demeanor, hands clasped behind his back, and surveyed the tense atmosphere in the hall, then asked, "Hey, what's going on here? Why block off this space?"

He Caiwei gazed amusingly at this Luo Yunxian. Everyone had initially been led by him to suspect Luo Yunxian, and now this guy had immediately appeared at the scene of the incident, making many gradually believe his words.

Fu Mingpu was silent for a moment, then said, "Someone broke into the Archives Building."

"Who? They've got guts!" Elder Luo asked leisurely as he came over.

"Haven't found them," Fu Mingpu said gravely.

"You two big URs and so many SSRs haven't found them?" Elder Luo casually asked.

He had not spoken yet, but once he did, everyone's expression turned sour.

That sentence was quite grating— as if he were mocking them. It was a mockery from an SR to all the SSRs and URs.

What's even more bizarre is that Elder Luo's system interface displayed "Stage: Early Meridian Opening"

The fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from his body were only at the early stages of Meridian Opening, so weak that everyone present completely overpowered him.

Yet there he stood, and those with towering cultivation levels dared not confront him.

Mu Yiqing spoke from beside him, "Professor Luo, the situation is like this. Just now, Minister Fu sensed an Orifice Perception in the main control room of the Archives Building, meaning someone had broken in, so he immediately sealed off the space. But when two seniors went in afterward, they couldn't find anyone, and the Orifice Perception had vanished. We are still looking for that person."

She explained the sequence of events in detail. Although Luo no longer held a position in the alliance, his prestige was still considerable.

He Caiwei snorted coldly and demanded, "Luo Yunxian, where were you last night?"

"Where was I last night?"

Elder Luo's gaze flickered slightly, already catching on.

He smiled faintly, "Understood, you can't find the person, so now you suspect it was me?"

Fu Mingpu remained silent, and people like Su Yongfeng also dared not speak.

They could discuss this privately, but didn't dare say it to Luo Yunxian's face.

He Caiwei slowly stated, "We are merely investigating the matter; just cooperate with us."

"Then your mind really isn't very sharp." Elder Luo said nonchalantly.

Irritated by his comment, He Caiwei retorted sharply, "Luo Yunxian, what do you mean by that!"

"I said your mind isn't sharp. Did I step on your tail?"

Elder Luo walked over leisurely, picked a spot, and sat down as if he was in his own home, not feeling out of place at all.

He sat just a meter away from Xiang Beifei.

"Luo Yunxian, don't go too far. I also perceived that Orifice Perception earlier. It suddenly appeared and then vanished so abruptly. There aren't many in the alliance who could do something like that. Besides, you appeared here tonight. You have always been non-compliant with our alliance's arrangements. You'd better give us all an explanation now!" He Caiwei said ominously.

"I'm saying you have a simple mind, and you're proving it right now!"

Elder Luo started laughing and then slowly said, "If it really were me, do you think I would leave an Orifice Perception for everyone to detect? You actually think you can perceive my Orifice Perception—"

He glanced at He Caiwei, then asked with a puzzled expression, "Where did you get such confidence?"

"You—"

He Caiwei, choked by Elder Luo, was so angry that his veins bulged!

This statement was sharply revealing; Elder Luo was essentially telling He Caiwei that he wasn't skilled enough to investigate him!

Fu Mingpu nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed.

It was unlikely that Luo Yunxian would make such a novice mistake or allow his Orifice Perception to be detected.

"What about you, old Fu? What's your opinion?" Elder Luo asked.

"I only trust evidence, not baseless accusations," Fu Mingpu declared.

He was not part of the "Leisure Faction" nor the "Idle Faction." He was a staunch supporter of the alliance's stance. However, if he had to choose a side, he leaned towards the "Leisure Faction" because Luo Yunxian possessed the strength to protect the alliance.

"You're more reliable," Elder Luo commented, smiling.

But soon, a man in his fifties rushed through the door. He spoke hurriedly, "Why are you suspecting Elder Luo? He was with me last night working on some matters, and I can vouch for that."

[Host: Sun Heshun]

[SSR grade, As Far As Possible System]

[Stage——]

The newcomer, Sun Heshun, had once met Xiang Beifei. He was the head judge at the new talent contest. After Xiang Beifei's team left the Withered Forest, the first judge they encountered for rescue was him.

Xiang Beifei had a good impression of this judge, for he had spoken up for him when Ren Jianghai was making things difficult for him.

"One can eat indiscriminately, but words must not be spoken carelessly. Everything requires evidence. Elder Luo has nothing to do with this matter, and I vouch for that," Sun Heshun declared sternly as he walked over.

He could be considered a member of the "Leisure Faction," and his relationship with Elder Luo was quite good.

He Caiwei snorted coldly and fell silent.

Obviously, he also realized that questioning further was pointless. Even though Sun Heshun was only an SSR, his cultivation was not weak, and he held a high position within the alliance. His words carried weight. To continue doubting would mean doubting Sun Heshun as well.

"Elder Luo, your perception is stronger than all of ours. If, as they say, this person is still inside the Archives Building, do you have a way to find this intruder?" Sun Heshun inquired.

Everyone looked at Elder Luo, waiting for his response.

"Yes, if you are capable, please help," Fu Mingpu said.

Elder Luo was more adept in this area than he was, and he had no doubts about it.

Only He Caiwei snorted coldly, scoffing at Sun Heshun's claim of "stronger than everyone else."

"You've already conducted a search? And how did you do that?" Elder Luo inquired.

"We swept the area using spiritual power," Fu Mingpu explained.

"A spiritual power sweep can leave blind spots. Let me show you how to search."

Elder Luo pondered for a moment, then surveyed the structure of the entire building. A powerful spiritual force suddenly surged out!
