The phone was quickly connected, and it was obvious that the person on the other end hadn’t rested yet.
A voice slightly cold, clear and casual,
"What’s up?"
"The person you asked me to deliver a gift to, she came to find me."
Oliver White didn’t hesitate and said directly, "She wants to meet you."
"Oh." The person on the other end responded blandly, then straightforwardly refused, "No meeting."
"I guessed as much, so she said you could set conditions."
Oliver White said, "From what I gathered, she has to see you no matter what."
The implication was that even if he refused, she would find other ways to investigate his information.
"Ha." A light laugh came from the other end, inexplicably causing a slight itch in Oliver White’s ear.
He pulled the phone slightly away, only then hearing the person on the other end say,
"Then let her win the Academy competition first, tell her that if she wins, I will meet her."
If she can’t even win the Academy competition, she doesn’t have the qualification to meet him.
He had no reason to meet her either.
The man’s voice carried a lazy tone, but the words spoken conveyed a sense of indifference.
Oliver White seemed accustomed to the person’s tone, didn’t ask more, just said,
"Okay."
Oliver White originally thought the conversation would end there, but unexpectedly, the man on the other end rarely asked another question,
"How does she look?"
Oliver White couldn’t pinpoint what the "look" referred to and simply said,
"She’s very excellent, and quite interesting."
After thinking, she added, "You won’t be disappointed when you see her."
The implication was that Scarlett Jennings would win the Academy competition to meet him.
Cassian Wolf chuckled on the other end, only said "I’m waiting,"
and then promptly ended the call.
He thought for a moment, then dialed another number,
"The little demon that escaped to Sea City earlier, no need to send anyone to handle it for now."
The man on the other end froze for a moment at his words, then responded,
"Okay, should I notify the Sea City Security Branch to handle it?"
"No need, just release a task on Spiritual Affairs."
The man on the other end was a bit puzzled; wasn’t Mr. Wen most annoyed with cooperating with the Underworld?
Previously, when Spiritual Affairs proposed developing a Demon Energy input program to link the system with the Mystic Regulation Office, it was rejected.
Though puzzled, the man still respectfully complied.
Quickly, a new task message appeared on Spiritual Affairs.
...
Jennings Family.
Scarlett Jennings had accepted an Academy points task and wasn’t in a hurry to return to the Academy.
The Taoism Academy has always been quite lenient with its teaching, after all, the Academy’s teaching progress is not suitable for every student.
Students can choose their coursework based on their situation, even if they take on tasks outside, they can make up for it through online classes.
At the moment, Scarlett Jennings was sitting at her work desk, in front of her, the mobile big screen playing live lessons from the Academy’s seniors.
This class was her elective in Geomancy, while she listened to the senior’s theoretical knowledge of Geomancy Techniques, she concentrated her Spiritual Power on carving jade pieces.
The Jade Talisman for Kingston Jennings’ Soul Nourishment was already done, now she was working on Adam Jennings’ Benedict Jade piece.
The three-month deadline mentioned before was approaching fast.
While she was focused on her work, suddenly, a ball of white fluff scurried in from the small balcony nearby.
It was Little Pretty just back from a walk.
Its mouth held a string, with a turtle tied at the other end.
It was the one the system was inhabiting.
