Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 349: 349: The Wife of the Devil King

Lan Siming cautiously lifted his gaze. The atmosphere in the room was tense, like a drawn sword, making him feel that a great battle was about to happen, on the verge of breaking out...

”According to the normal procedures! Gu Tong is also part of our Divine Artifact Third Class. Taking my trainee doesn’t require a report for approval, right!”

Mo Zishuang had told Gu Tong earlier that she had already consulted Li Yan, merely to cut off her thoughts and get her to accept training earnestly!

In truth, it was done without informing Li Yan the slightest bit. She knew she was in the wrong about this matter, yet still refused to yield.

”Her appointment belongs to the First Class Personal Trainee, arranged directly by this professor! Although she holds positions in other groups, borrowing someone requires following formal procedures. Professor Mo has been a professor in the Third Class for a long time! She can’t be ignorant of these rules!”

Li Yan spoke leisurely, yet the words were forceful and left no room for refutation.

Lan Siming and Mo Zishuang both held professorial positions, so they understood the reasoning behind it. They equally understood that what Li Yan was saying followed formal procedures, and these were the established rules of the Academy.

What Mo Zishuang did indeed didn’t comply with the regulations...

However, it was evident that Mo Zishuang had no intention of apologizing but was instead standing firm against Li Yan! Entirely looking like she would never yield.

Seeing this, Li Yan’s aura became even more intense, emanating a freezing cold that could sweep over anyone who got close even a bit.

These two people were not ordinary; if they faced off, it might lead to yet another unavoidable great battle...

Seeing the situation turning bad, Lan Siming felt some trepidation and hurriedly stood out to lighten the atmosphere, saying, ”Professor Mo is indeed at fault here... but... our Lord Earl is generous, with a heart so vast it can hold a ship, surely there won’t be any blame, right...”

Mo Zishuang’s cold gaze was like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely at Lan Siming, her aura revealing the dissatisfaction within!

When did she need to apologize to Li Yan! There’s no need for Lan Siming to lower his head on her behalf!

Lan Siming felt the cold sharpness, and shrank his neck...

He quickly coughed and added, ”Well... the Earl is also... a rare and precious talent, treated like a treasured jewel, not allowing anyone to touch even once...”

”Actually, Professor Mo has her reasons for this action... This time’s special task didn’t have a suitable candidate, so thinking of Gu Tong was to test if she’s qualified enough to carry out the task...”

”This is a good thing too, please don’t misunderstand Professor Mo’s intention...” Lan Siming explained hurriedly, hoping Li Yan would understand.

The name Devil King is not unfounded. Composed, resourceful, dominating the battlefield, he truly embodies the demeanor of a great general.

Someone like this knows what to sacrifice and won’t cause a dispute over a trainee’s task issue.

”Our Earl would never agree! Even if Gu Tong is an invaluable talent! The Earl couldn’t bear it! As you said, he treats Gu Tong as a precious jewel!”

A cold feminine voice rang out, yet it came from Mo Zishuang!

Lan Siming was startled...

Looking at her puzzled, he was very confused. Clearly, Li Yan hadn’t spoken yet, but Mo Zishuang proactively spoke out and made a decision for Li Yan. What if he didn’t think that way...

Mo Zishuang saw through Lan Siming’s thoughts, her dark eyes without a ripple, her cold lips parted, and in a detached voice, she offered an explanation: ”The Earl would never let his wife be in danger!”

Lan Siming froze for a few seconds...

”Ha?”
