Chapter 245: 229 Mazao Alert

Although I am a supernatural power user, my life before this was uneventful, which Mazao knows very well. She probably always sees herself as the one who disrupted my daily life. Now that she realizes I was completely isolated from bizarre incidents, I wonder what her thoughts might be.

She didn’t interrupt rashly, but just silently watched me.

Fu Feng continued, "...Such traits of resisting evil usually only appear in Impermanence, and those qualified to be Impermanence. Of course, there are exceptions, a few of the powerfully strong Great Success Rank, and people born with special luck might also experience this phenomenon."

I could only continue the conversation, "That is to say, this alone isn’t enough to identify someone as a qualified Impermanence, right?"

"Of course, there are other traits that might appear in the qualified Impermanence..."

Fu Feng was about to go on when a demon hunter in a white uniform approached from a distance. Upon seeing us, his eyes lit up, and he quickly ran up to Fu Feng.

"What happened?" Fu Feng immediately asked.

"An external Evil has captured a member of the Human Bureau and brought them here," the demon hunter said with a strange expression.

"The Human Bureau, huh... That’s good news, but why that look on your face?" Fu Feng curiously asked.

"That external Evil... calls itself ’Dong Che’."

While answering, the demon hunter kept glancing at me and Mazao, seemingly puzzled about who these two unexpected figures standing next to the highest base manager were.

With the amulet of Nameless, neither Mazao nor I needed to worry about being recognized by ordinary folks.

"Dong Che?" Fu Feng frowned, "Has he just arrived?"

"Yes, right when you had just left," the demon hunter replied.

Fu Feng turned to look at me, frowning even deeper, and muttered to himself, "Could this have been calculated by Gua Tianshi..."

"Who are Dong Che and Gua Tianshi?" I asked, curious.

Fu Feng instructed the demon hunter to leave, then explained to me, "Gua Tianshi is an Impermanence supporting Extraordinaryism, as his name suggests, he is proficient in divination and fortune-telling, possessing the ability to see into the past and the future. Dong Che is his unique disciple."

With that said, I instantly understood why he was frowning.

The hidden Impermanence behind Divine Spear could be an Extraordinary Fanatic, possibly this Gua Tianshi. And just when Fu Feng took us to the base, Gua Tianshi’s disciple, Dong Che, suddenly visited, making it hard not to suspect that this visit was targeted at me and Mazao.

Of course, unlike me, who does not know the true identity of the hidden Impermanence behind Divine Spear, Fu Feng, as a confidant of Fa Zheng, might know.

An Impermanence who can foresee past and future is a much trickier issue for Mazao and me now than simple brute strength... While staying alert, I directly asked, "Is this Gua Tianshi the hidden Impermanence behind Divine Spear?"

"I’m sorry, Fa Zheng has instructed me not to tell you who it is. Even telling you who it isn’t isn’t allowed, because there are only four great Impermanences in Transcendentalism Mountain, and telling you who it isn’t would essentially help你 identify who it is," Fu Feng explained.

"Why won’t you tell me?" I asked.

"Have you forgotten what you did before? Of course, it’s to prevent you from directly confronting them," he said helplessly, "I can’t understand how you could challenge an Impermanence directly, but I’ve seen many crazy people over the past centuries and can somewhat guess your thoughts.

"From your willingness to hide in our base, you still have some rationality. However, you probably think this—hiding in this base is just a temporary measure to escape from the enemy, once you identify the true identity of the target and gain the advantage of attacking, you won’t even wait a second before hitting the enemy’s home hard.

"You are a promising potential Impermanence, why not wait until you become a true Impermanence to settle any grievances? Wouldn’t that be better?"

"I don’t know how you see me exactly, but I’m not as crazy as you describe," I said.

"So, you’re saying you aren’t planning to do what I suggested?" he countered.

I chose to switch the topic: "Rather than that, let’s continue discussing Gua Tianshi and Dong Che."

Fu Feng sighed deeply and continued, "Although Dong Che is Gua Tianshi’s disciple, he is a Governance Realist."

"The master is an Extraordinary Fanatic, but the student is a Governance Realist?" I was surprised.

"Yes. Apparently, Dong Che is kind-hearted and believes Extraordinaryism is inherently evil. His distaste for Extraordinaryism grew until he could no longer tolerate it, eventually leaving Gua Tianshi to join Governance Ideology... that’s the official story," Fu Feng shared, "The problem is that Gua Tianshi still publicly claims Dong Che as his disciple, always willing to welcome his return. Considering he is an Impermanence who can foresee past and future, his reputation transcends positions and ideologies, and numerous demon hunters dream of being his disciple.

"Many demon hunters who are Governance Realists deep down admit they couldn’t resist this great temptation. Thus, they suspect that Dong Che might be a mole for Governance Ideology, and they don’t view him favorably... In fact, I think the same way."

"I see," I said, understanding his point.

"Moreover... Dong Che is too young. No one knows whether his actions of joining Governance Ideology are genuinely heartfelt, or merely a rebellious phase of running away from home," he stated.

"Too young?" I inquired.

He was about to explain further when he suddenly paused, then said, "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives."

Just as he finished speaking, I saw a figure turn around the corner across the hallway.

As soon as the figure saw us, he revealed a joyous smile, waved energetically, and then jogged towards us.

And I could clearly see his appearance.

He was a delicate teenager about fourteen years old with rare snow-white hair, a pretty and cute face, dressed in white ancient-style robes.

I briefly sensed his mana fluctuations; the strength was above Residence Level but below Great Success Rank. I hadn’t seen many achieved level demon hunters, so I figured he must be achieved level. Based on what Fu Feng described, he should be "Dong Che." Unexpectedly, he was a young boy with an appearance like a beautiful girl. At such a young age, he had already reached the peak level of a demon hunter, truly fitting for a disciple of a great Impermanence.

Zhu Shi’s previously nonsense statement about a "handsome young boy barely needing any makeup to look almost like a little girl" must have been referring to this type, I casually thought.

"—Huh?"

For some reason, Mazao suddenly let out a cautious sound and moved closer to me.
