A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 945 - 931: A Familiar Presence

The two talked as they walked along.

Unknowingly, they arrived at the entrance and exit of the airship's level. At the entrance, two suited thugs and two mechanical patrols were guarding. If any issue arose, they could instantly report to Changzhi Shuyuan, and this place would be surrounded by heavy troops within a minute, and the real experts on the airship would surge over.

Baiyu speculated.

Unless one's strength was above the Meteor level, it would be extremely difficult to escape this encircling attack.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Baiyu and another delivery person approaching, a suited man asked in a deep voice. His eyes, beneath his sunglasses, coldly scrutinized them like a predator assessing prey.

"Delivering a meal to Lord Changzhi, he's in a hurry,"

The delivery person pointed to the cart in front of him.

The suited man wasn't quick to let them pass, saying, "Show your employee identity card and note the dish information."

The delivery person impatiently showed his identity card.

After verifying there was no mistake, he led Baiyu through the passage ahead. However, just as Baiyu was about to pass the checkpoint, the suited man stopped him again.

"Your colleague hasn't been checked yet. Please verify your identity before proceeding."

The suited man coldly said.

Baiyu frowned. He had already anticipated that the normal passage would definitely be strictly checked, so he disguised himself as a delivery person, but he didn't expect that even with a fake identity, he couldn't evade the inspection.

It was unnecessarily rigorous.

While the suited man's gaze grew increasingly suspicious, the other delivery guy coldly said, "You might give us a hard time, but if you delay Lord Changzhi's matter, even having ten heads wouldn't be enough."

Habitually throwing your weight around with borrowed influence, nobody usually minds you.

Today is different.

Mr. Changzhi is entertaining guests, and if you delay and embarrass Mr. Changzhi, think about the consequences yourself."

These words indeed intimidated the two suited men.

They had no choice but to let Baiyu pass the checkpoint, saving the cumbersome steps.

The two entered the passage.

Behind the passage was an elevator hall with several elevators going up and down. However, those going in and out were mostly suited men and staff on the airship.

Others wanting to go to different areas would find the steps cumbersome.

After all, only the casino floor of the airship is open to others, and while this floor has a wide enough area, most people don't need to go to other levels.

The casino is enough to exhaust their energy and money.

"These guards are just like this, enjoying borrowed influence daily, behaving as if they're the boss. I don't know who indulged them in this bad habit," the delivery guy continued chatting with Baiyu.

The more he talked with Baiyu, the more he felt a regret for having met so late.

Soon, the two arrived at a lavishly decorated corridor with golden frames embedded in the floor, walls adorned with various gems, and a row of crystal lamps overhead providing warm, bright light.

The delivery guy stopped talking and maintained silence as they stepped onto this floor.

Baiyu knew in his heart that this must be the floor where Changzhi Shuyuan resided, so his vigilance increased, and his spirituality carefully spread out, probing everything here.

Soon enough.

The delivery guy stopped in front of a five-meter-high black double-door. He forcefully pushed open the door. Inside, the decor was even more luxurious, golden everywhere, exuding a nouveau riche air.

What attracted more attention was the various casinos inside.

Almost.

Any gambling tool available on the market could be found here.

At that moment, at the large table in the center, seven or eight people were seated, but only two were playing, the others were more like spectators.

"Lord Changzhi, your food,"

The delivery guy cautiously said.

"Hmm, place it on the table over there," Changzhi Shuyuan, without turning back, focused all his attention on the gambling table.

At that moment. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Baiyu finally saw Changzhi Shuyuan's true appearance. Uninterested in the Free Federation's system, he hadn't known about the ten councilors beforehand, but from the position at the table, their attire, and each person's demeanor, it could be inferred that the young man opposite Changzhi Shuyuan was Ivan Lawrence.

These two were the highest-ranking individuals here.

However, they weren't seated at the main spot of the gambling table; instead, a blue-haired, green-eyed man and a black-clad man occupied the main seats.

From the moment Baiyu entered, he noticed that the black-clad man was the Divination Master, who had caught Changzhi Shuyuan's eye after sweeping the casino below and was invited here.

It seemed.

The gambling match between Ivan and Changzhi Shuyuan was taking place.

And judging by everyone's expressions, Changzhi Shuyuan should be in the lead. Ivan's face was ashen, sweat continuously running down his forehead, evidently not the demeanor of a winner.

However.

There was something very subtle.

Though Changzhi Shuyuan was in the lead, he didn't have any delight on his face, as if he didn't care about this gambling match.

Moreover.

In the entire room, there were at least four Meteor-level experts. Perhaps not all four belonged to Changzhi Shuyuan, but at least half did.

After placing the food, Baiyu left the hall with the delivery guy and returned to the corridor.

At a surveillance blind spot.

The chatting delivery guy suddenly fell unconscious as Baiyu's spirituality surged through him.

"Sorry, brother,"

Baiyu dragged him into an empty room and settled him, then naturally returned to the corridor and began inspecting other rooms one by one.

Apart from Changzhi Shuyuan's large room, there were many other rooms on this floor, some empty and others occupied.

Baiyu even saw a few rooms where people were engaging in inappropriate activities, creating quite a chaotic scene.

However.

After checking several dozens of rooms, Baiyu's spirituality suddenly detected a different aura.

That aura.

Was evil, hidden, and very powerful.

Baiyu's spirituality was very familiar with it.

Green Mother!!

Baiyu squinted as these two large words surfaced in his mind.

Green Mother.

Also known as the "Fallen Life Goddess."

Opposite to the Life Goddess worshiped by the Life Church, it's rumored they are sisters, but there is no clear evidence.

The Green Mother is keen on causing trouble and seems to be a deity on the side of demons. Baiyu had encountered many times, surprising to find her here.

Last time.

During the Great City's chaos, the Green Mother's presence was evident.

The Green Mother's aura was in the room, only separated from Baiyu by a wall.

Baiyu quietly approached the wall.

Inside was pitch black, nothing was visible, clearly, someone had set up a blocking spirit technique.

Baiyu did not hesitate; inside, the Black Moon Power began slowly permeating through the wall and dispersing within.

This time.

It was a confrontation between the Black Moon and the Green Mother.
