Chapter 70 - 70. Principal Zhu, the most suspicious

...Tang Miao and Xu Zhaoting parted ways at Mingzhu Academy, and he immediately returned to his apartment.

Tang Miao recounted the day's events to Tang Yue.

After understanding the situation, Tang Yue asked, "So, you think they'll make their move in the next few days, and most likely during the assessment at Mingzhu Academy's Green Campus?"

Tang Miao shook his head, his memories extremely muddled, and looked at Tang Yue, saying, "I'm not certain, but I think since they've already started setting a trap for Mo Fan, the Earthly Holy Spring must be extremely important. So, I believe this off-campus assessment will be their chance to act.

Moreover, Dean Xiao and the others must have also received news and want to use this assessment to capture the Black Vatican members mixed within Mingzhu Academy!"

Tang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Then should we go discreetly protect Mo Fan tomorrow?"

Tang Miao certainly wouldn't do such a thing, and immediately replied, "If we go, we might alert them, and Mo Fan has four elements; some ordinary Gray Robes and Black Vatican members won't be a match for him at all."

Hearing this, Tang Yue was a bit confused for a moment. Wasn't she there to protect the Earthly Holy Spring and Mo Fan's safety?

"But..."

Tang Miao directly interrupted, "There's no 'but' about it. This time, we need to at least go after those at the Blue Robe level!"

"Blue Robe!?"

Tang Yue was stunned by the remark, then looked at Tang Miao and seriously asked, "Do you know who the opposing Blue Robe Deacon is?"

Tang Miao nodded, then said, "Do you still remember Principal Zhu from that magic high school we talked about before?"

"But we investigated him, and he didn't seem to have any problems."

When Tang Yue returned that time, she had Tang Zhong send people to investigate Principal Zhu. But they didn't find anything.

"When I came back, I called Lingling, and she told me that Principal Zhu left the school a few days ago and came to Mingzhu City. I think, if I'm not mistaken, he should be the overall commander of the Black Vatican's operation this time!"

When Tang Miao was on his way back, he suddenly thought of Principal Zhu. Then he asked Lingling to inquire with her sister.

Her sister was in charge of the Modu area, so investigating someone was naturally not difficult.

And coincidentally, this investigation revealed that Principal Zhu had come to Modu City a few days ago. Furthermore, according to the information Lingling got from her sister, Principal Zhu had personally visited Bo City when the incident there occurred!

Coupled with Tang Yue being trapped before, Tang Miao increasingly felt that this guy was problematic.

Although the other party was indeed suspicious, without evidence, the Judgment Court couldn't act rashly.

Tang Yue then said, "But... we don't have evidence. What if we arrest the wrong person?"

This matter was indeed very tricky. In Tang Miao's opinion, it was to find the other party and unleash a barrage of attacks. If he was wrong, then apologize. Of course, Tang Yue would definitely not agree to such an outcome... For a moment, Tang Miao also fell silent, but the incident of Tang Yue falling into the Black Vatican's trap last time had always been a thorn in Tang Miao's heart.

Although he usually seemed indifferent, he never dared to ignore this matter. He just didn't dare to think about it when he didn't have enough power.

"My intuition tells me that guy is definitely problematic. Otherwise, why would everything be so coincidental!"

Moreover, for some reason, Tang Miao always felt that Principal Zhu was definitely a problematic existence!

Tang Yue shook her head and said, "We just need to protect Mo Fan. The matter of the Black Vatican's Blue Robe is not something we can intervene in right now."

She ultimately rejected this speculation and the idea of confronting the other party.

After all, it was a Blue Robe, and Principal Zhu's strength was that of a person who had reached the advanced level in two elements. Tang Yue, a newly entered advanced mage, plus Tang Miao, would be somewhat risky. She wasn't afraid of anything, but she didn't want any accidents to happen to Tang Miao.

Tang Miao had long anticipated this outcome.

Tang Yue's protective instincts towards him were no less than his own.

But having finally confirmed the possibility that this guy was a Black Vatican member, and almost getting Tang Yue into trouble, if Tang Miao let him go, he would regret it for at least a week!

"Just a two-element advanced level one, it's nothing."

Principal Zhu had Light, Fire, and Plant elements. His main Fire element was nothing to Tang Miao.

Tang Miao wasn't blindly confident; his current Lightning magic and the ice magic from his merged Snow Maiden were already as powerful as advanced magic! Even in a head-on clash, he might not be at a disadvantage.

Tang Yue was still indecisive, and Tang Miao added, "Yueyue, don't worry. How could I take you to do something without absolute certainty?

Lingling has already found out that the other party is alone right now. As for his companions, I think they should all still be under the surveillance of the Judgment Court."

"Alright..."

Tang Yue's job was to deal with the Black Vatican. Although it wasn't about deep infiltration and capture, she was responsible for eliminating them within the city. If Principal Zhu was really a Black Vatican member, then he absolutely couldn't be let go.

If a school leader was problematic, what about the students and teachers within it?

Some might be fine, but many would likely be lured onto the Black Vatican's ship.

If this continued, various academies would eventually have some Black Vatican minions.

Of course, Tang Yue still hoped her thoughts were wrong... The next day... While the students aiming for rankings were still searching for shadow beasts, Tang Miao and Tang Yue had already arrived outside Principal Zhu's residence, waiting.

This was a densely populated area of the city, and they certainly couldn't act here. This was Tang Yue's request, so Tang Miao had no choice but to obediently lie in her arms, letting her use shadow skills to conceal their whereabouts.

Tang Miao said impatiently, "Wife, if Principal Zhu doesn't move all day, won't we have waited in vain?"

Although he enjoyed it, being like this all the time, both frustrating and without anything to eat, was the most unbearable... "If he doesn't act, it means he's not a Black Vatican member. Mo Fan called me earlier and said he had a way to lure out the Black Vatican members..."

After Mo Fan met Xu Zhaoting and learned about yesterday's events, seeing Xu Zhaoting alive, he expressed relief. Then he thought of using the Earthly Holy Spring to lure out the undercover agents in the school. Of course, if it was a big fish, he naturally couldn't provoke them, so he told Tang Yue about it.

After hearing this, Tang Miao immediately said, "If Principal Zhu goes, does that mean he is the Blue Robe, right?"

Tang Yue nodded and hummed in affirmation...
