Ch 116: The words must be spoken… very, very, very slowly… clearly.

After listening for a while, Pika Qiu understood: “Oh~, you mean Victoria betrayed the Quark Clan.”

Huh?

Ken Douji repeated what he had just said: “According to Teacher Victoria, her Dark Curse Seal hasn’t activated yet.”

“Oh~, you mean you’re not sure if she betrayed the Quark Clan, and she can’t be certain she hasn’t betrayed the Quark Clan either.”

Ken Douji didn’t mean what Pika Qiu said.

But after the other party said that, he felt like that was what he meant.

He asked directly: “Is there any way to know if Victoria’s Dark Curse Seal has activated?”

Pika Qiu looked enlightened and highly approving: “You’re right! If we can know whether Victoria’s Dark Curse Seal has activated, this matter will be much easier!”

“You mean, there’s no way to know?”

“Hey——” Pika Qiu disagreed, “Elder Ken, when did I ever say there was no way to know?”

“Then what’s the specific method?”

“This, this specific method,” Pika Qiu looked troubled. He looked at the ceiling, then pointed to the ground, then looked at Ken Douji, “Understand?”

Ken Douji looked at his actions: “Is there a more detailed method?”

“A more detailed method?” Pika Qiu was puzzled at first, then his eyes lit up, “Hey, yes, yes, yes!”

After a long wait, they heard Pika Qiu’s snoring.

“Great Elder, Great Elder Pika Qiu?”

The sleeping man slowly woke up, feeling extremely ashamed that he had accidentally fallen asleep: “Oh dear, I’m so sorry, Elder Ken, this old man is prone to drowsiness. Eh? Where did we leave off?”

Ken Douji was about to speak when Pika Qiu suddenly stood up: “Oh~ I remember! We were talking about how to deal with Victoria’s Dark Curse Seal!”

“Right?”

Not quite.

But it’s not a problem either.

“You’ve already thought of a solution?”

“This solution, of course there is!” He looked very troubled and walked around in circles, then suddenly stopped, “I remember!”

He mysteriously produced a pair of bracelets from somewhere. Before Ken Douji could see clearly, the bracelets were placed in his hands.

“This is?”

“This, is the solution!” Great Elder Pika Qiu chuckled, “These are Magic Imprisonment Rings!”

“Magic Imprisonment Rings?”

After glancing at the bracelets, before Ken Douji could ask, Pika Qiu suddenly urged him:

“Elder Ken, what are you still doing here?”

?

“Shouldn’t you hurry and put these bracelets on Victoria?” His face was full of worry, “Oh dear, if Victoria’s Dark Curse Seal suddenly activates during this time, that would be a big problem!”

Less than a minute after Ken Douji left, another person rushed in: “Great Elder!”

Pika Qiu, who was about to sit down and rest, was startled. He turned around and patted his chest in relief:

“Oh dear, Elder Ous, why are you here?”

Before Ousgaida could speak, he exclaimed again: “What a coincidence, Elder Ken also came by just now.”

“Where is he now?”

“He? ” After looking around, “It’s just you and me here, where is…”

“Great Elder!” Interrupting Pika Qiu, Ousgaida’s expression was extremely serious, “I mean, where is Elder Ken Douji now?”

Completely ignoring Ousgaida’s interruption: “Of course he left! Didn’t you two meet on the way?”

If they had met, why would he have come here?

Closing his eyes, Ousgaida took a deep breath: “Did you tell him about the Council of Elders meeting?”

“Council of Elders meeting?” He was puzzled, and under Ousgaida’s seemingly explosive expression, he suddenly realized, “Oh~ I remember, yes, yes, yes, there was a Council of Elders meeting.”

“I forgot.”

Ousgaida was utterly baffled: “How could you forget such an important matter?”

“Yeah, why did I forget?”

Suppressing his disrespectful thoughts towards the Great Elder, Ousgaida was about to speak when he heard Pika Qiu say:

“Because Elder Ken came to me for a very important matter, that matter was so important, that I accidentally, eh, forgot about the Elders’ meeting.”

Pika Qiu looked somewhat aggrieved and embarrassed.

He said a lot but it was like he said nothing.

Anything important enough to make Ken Douji, who didn’t want to hold the Elders’ meeting, come here would naturally be extremely important.

He rushed here upon hearing that Ken Douji had come, but when he arrived, Ken Douji had actually escaped!

“What important matter made you forget about the Elders’ meeting?”

Pika Qiu recalled briefly, about to speak, when Ousgaida looked at him: “You haven’t forgotten again, have you?”

“Of course not, how could I forget such an important matter? It’s just…” He paused slightly and took a sip of water.

The time was so long that Ousgaida thought he was going to forget again, when finally, he put down the water cup: “It’s just that such an important matter should naturally be discussed at the Council of Elders meeting.”

“Then we should have Elder Ken Douji attend the meeting!”

“Yes, yes, yes, we need to inform him, I’ll send out the invitations for the Elders’ meeting right now.”

Watching his eager actions, Ousgaida took another deep breath.

If sending out invitations for the Elders’ meeting worked, Ken Douji would have come a long time ago, why would he need to make a special trip here to catch him?!

“Are you definitely on Elder Ken Douji’s side?”

Pika Qiu didn’t understand this statement: “Right now, I’m naturally on your side!”

“Hmph, if you’re on my…”

“There are only two of us here, no matter which side I’m on, isn’t it the same as being on Elder Ous’s side?” He was very puzzled by Ousgaida’s words, “Why does it involve Elder Ken? He’s not here now.”

They weren’t talking about the same thing!

“Oh, right, I remembered something else.”

“…Go ahead.”

“Didn’t we send out many invitations for the Elders’ meeting before, but Meng Academy seems to have had some problems with their mailbox due to reconstruction and didn’t receive them?”

Ousgaida listened to Pika Qiu’s rambling with his few remaining patience: “Mm.”

“Hey! Coincidentally, Elder Situ from Dong Meng said he was free and volunteered to personally go to Meng Academy to tell Elder Ken Douji about this.” Pika Qiu calculated briefly, “He should be back soon.”

As he spoke, another figure appeared at the doorway.

“Hey! See, talk of the devil, Elder Situ, Elder Ous and I were just talking about you!”

“Talking about me?”

Situ Lang glanced at Ousgaida subtly. As he was about to ask Great Elder Pika Qiu, Ousgaida, whose patience was about to run out, glared at him:

“Didn’t you go to Meng Academy to personally tell Elder Ken Douji about the Elders’ meeting? When can Elder Ken Douji spare his precious time?”

“Oh dear,” Situ Lang looked very regretful and annoyed, “When I went, I heard that Principal Ken Douji had already come to the Elders’ meeting, so I thought maybe he had received the invitation…”

“So you didn’t do anything and came back?!”

“I went to Meng Academy to tell Elder Ken Douji about the Elders’ meeting, since he already knew,” Situ Lang didn’t understand the questioning tone in Ousgaida’s voice, “what else did I need to do?”

“Hmph!” Unwilling to speak to these two elders who were on Ken Douji’s side, Ousgaida coldly snorted and left.

One day he would carry out his plan and make everyone understand—to defeat the Dark Great Emperor, what was truly needed was definitely not those Meng Knights!

Situ Lang was puzzled by his temper: “What’s going on now?”

Pika Qiu shrugged: “I don’t know either.”
