They Were Reborn And Said I Am The Savior - Chapter 14

“I actually came here because of something important!” Xia Qingfeng said with a smile. “Three days ago, I received a secret message saying that the Heavenly Demon Hall had begun their operations, preparing to assassinate the geniuses of Jiangnan City.”

“This kind of information is better believed than dismissed. So, I secretly came to Jiangnan, contacted your father and a few friends, and we set up an ambush. In the end, they really came, and luckily we were prepared, taking them all down in one fell swoop!”

The Dragon King, Lin Aotian, sitting beside them, nodded with a smile.

“That’s great!” Lin Daotian said with a glint in his eyes. Just a few days ago, the school beauty Leng Qingyue had warned him to be cautious of the Heavenly Demon Hall.

He took the warning seriously and had been preparing, but instead of attracting the Heavenly Demon Hall, he ended up with a perverted woman obsessed with his looks. He couldn’t decide if that was a blessing or a curse.

“We plan to stay a few more days, sweep through the entire city, and root out any remaining members of the Heavenly Demon Hall before we leave,” Xia Qingfeng said, looking at Lin Daotian expectantly. “By the way, when are you coming back to the university with me?”

“After the entrance exams.”

“Why wait until then?”

“How else would I get into Divine Martial University without taking the entrance exams?”

Xia Qingfeng slapped his thigh. “What exams? I’m asking you to come as a teacher, not as a student! With your insight and talent, being a student would be beneath you!”

From a young age, Lin Daotian had shown exceptional ability, advising summoners on how to nurture their summoned entities.

Many summoners had seen their strength skyrocket under his guidance.

Xia Qingfeng was aware of this and had long admired Lin Daotian, always trying to recruit him as a teacher at the university to guide the students.

But back then, Lin Daotian was too young, and his mother couldn’t bear to let him leave.

Now that he was 18 and officially an adult, Xia Qingfeng could no longer hold back.

Lin Daotian hesitated. “I’m so young. Won’t people have issues with me being a teacher?”

Xia Qingfeng exuded confidence. “Who would dare have an issue? I’m the president of the university. What I say goes! Besides, many of the senior faculty members have benefited from your guidance. They’re all eager for you to come!”

“That’s true!” Lin Aotian, the Dragon King, said proudly, crossing his legs. “Every time I visit the Divine Martial University, those old geezers keep asking me when I’ll let you go. If I weren’t so strong, I probably wouldn’t have made it out of there! Haha!”

Lin Daotian wavered. “Still, I’d like to finish the entrance exams before I leave.”

There’s a saying: “A student’s life isn’t complete without experiencing the college entrance exam.”

The entrance exam here was like the national exam on Earth. Since he was here, he wanted to experience it for himself.

Winning wasn’t important—what mattered was participating.

“Alright, suit yourself,” Xia Qingfeng said with a sigh. “But after the exam, you must come. Otherwise, I’ll drag you there myself!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come after the exams!”

With that settled, it was time to talk business.

“Dad, do you have any martial arts experts around? Could you arrange for one to spar with me?”

Lin Aotian was puzzled. “Why do you need a martial artist?”

“My strength has reached the seventh tier, but I don’t have much combat experience. With only about 20 days until the entrance exams, if I don’t work harder, it’ll be too late. I need someone to train with.”

“Already at the seventh tier in just one week? That fast?”

Lin Aotian exclaimed, and even Xia Qingfeng, who was drinking tea, turned to look.

“Dad, you know I’ve been using the genetic enhancement serum to get stronger. Since it’s a perfect fusion without side effects, my progress has been a bit quicker.”

“True. I didn’t have your kind of luck when I was younger,” Lin Aotian said with envy.

Back in his youth, Lin Aotian had also used genetic enhancement serum.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a perfect fusion. It took him three painful months to recover, and even now, he shuddered at the memory. He couldn’t help but envy Lin Daotian, who was getting stronger with little effort.

“Even though I’ve gotten stronger, my combat skills are lacking. That’s why I’m asking you to find someone for me to spar with.”

“Alright, let me think…”

“I’ll handle this!” Xia Qingfeng interrupted.

Both father and son turned to him, curious.

Stroking his beard, Xia Qingfeng smiled and said, “Our school has no shortage of teachers, especially martial arts experts. I’ll arrange for the best one to train with you. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!”

This was a minor issue for Lin Daotian, so he didn’t dwell on it.

“Thank you, Grandpa Xia!”

“Just a small favor!”

…

As night fell over the abandoned factory, the Ninth Protector of the Heavenly Demon Hall stood in the darkness with a gloomy expression.

This mission had ended in near-total failure, leaving him in a very bad mood.

“This operation was highly secretive. Who leaked the information? Slaughter Angel, you’re the only one left. What do you think?”

“In response to the protector, I believe there was no leak; it was purely bad luck!”

“Oh? Explain your reasoning!”

The protector turned to glare at the Slaughter Angel.

Slaughter Angel remained calm as she replied, “Ninth Protector, all our members have been trained since childhood and are bound by the Heart Curse, so loyalty is not in question! The failure happened because our Heavenly Demon Hall has a tradition of hunting geniuses, especially after the summoning ritual every year. Those at a higher level could have prepared specifically against this, and it just so happened that they ran into us!”

Hearing this, the protector’s expression improved slightly. “That makes sense!”

He didn’t trust the Slaughter Angel; he trusted the Heart Curse.

Anyone from the Heavenly Demon Hall would have the Heart Curse planted on them. If they did anything against the Demon Hall, they would suffer immense pain that was worse than hell, making them desperately wish for death without being able to die.

So, they would never become traitors.

Slaughter Angel continued her report, “In the past few days, I was preparing to assassinate Lin Daotian when I sensed the presence of a strong person! It seems highly likely that it was the Dragon King Lin Aotian, who has been lying in wait for us! Luckily, I didn’t act rashly at that time, or else we wouldn’t have made it back. Please investigate this, Ninth Protector!”

“Slaughter Angel, your caution is well-placed!”

The protector sighed. “The Dragon King is very strong. Even if I encountered him, I would probably lose more than win… This operation can be considered a total failure, but it’s fine; we can return with a vengeance. You may go back for now!”

“Ninth Protector, should we still try to kill Lin Daotian?”

The Ninth Protector waved his hand. “Not for the time being! After this incident, they will surely hunt us down, so we should act low-key! You go back to the school and continue lying in wait for the next order!”

“Yes, protector!”

The Slaughter Angel’s figure flickered and vanished.

When she reappeared, she was back at her residence, her disguise shed to reveal her alluring figure, snow-white skin, and stunning beauty.

She then entered the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the cool water wash away the dust and fatigue from her body.

A satisfied smile curved her lips. “The principal didn’t disappoint me; that’s good!”

The secret letter had actually been placed by her, with the purpose of weakening the living forces of the Heavenly Demon Hall.

Now it seemed quite successful, even the protector hadn’t suspected a thing.

As for the Heart Curse…

What a joke!

In her previous life, she had been much stronger than the Demon Lord; how could she not deal with a Heart Curse?

“It’s just that I haven’t had the chance to see Master recently; I really want to get close to him!” The Slaughter Angel sighed, her heart filled with regret and reluctance.

If she had a choice, she would abandon everything and rush to Lin Daotian’s side.

Unfortunately, her identity was special. If it were exposed, there would be no way for her to survive.

Moreover, she still had many things to do, making it impossible to find time.

“I just need to hold on a little longer! Master, I will come to accompany you soon!”

After finishing her shower, she put on a cool, loose nightgown and walked out while drying her long hair. She noticed her phone vibrating, indicating that someone had sent a message.

She picked it up and saw a name: Xia Qingfeng.
