Chapter 1604: Chapter 512: Node of Great Chaos_3

The Old Principal clicked his tongue in wonder too, feeling this person’s fate was very dramatic; chances were that these trajectories of destiny would attract some equally outrageous sequence.

He sighed that fortunately the Bunker was under the control of the capable; in the end, strength was what mattered.

If they’d gone back to an era when everyone’s combat power was about the same, Wen Xiangge might well have climbed to the level of the Pope.

As for the other people who knew what was going on, they all accepted one thing—keeping quiet.

If you went around telling people that Wen Xishu had exceeded his time and was trapped outside the Bunker, everyone would instead think your intentions were damnable.

After the assassination last time, Wen Xiangge was supposed to keep a low profile for a while. But this time, he still stepped out.

Xishu Divine Teaching must flourish! The Sect Hierarch’s majesty must not be offended! The Sect Hierarch must always be the victor!

These three iron beliefs had already been branded into Wen Xiangge’s soul.

Anyway, under Wen Xiangge’s operation, the Bunker once again became gloriously great; the whole Bunker had the bustling atmosphere of New Year’s.

He had already, twice in a row, turned the tide, becoming the spiritual pillar for countless people, and both times, he had changed the hearts of millions across the entire Bunker.

This had in fact already formed a kind of fate-energy that could be called legendary.

And inside the Bunker, the liveliest thing right now was choosing that... person who could bring the legend back home.

Because of Wen Xiangge’s maneuvering for Xishu Divine Teaching, countless people were scrambling for the chance to go.

But the people who actually knew the original situation of the news, after thinking this through carefully, were rather hesitant. Because this was basically sending someone to their death.

Put it bluntly, this was an exchange of the value of lives.

It was like telling someone: your life isn’t worth much, Wen Xishu’s life is worth a lot, but now you can be swapped for Wen Xishu, so you have to die.

That’s a deeply unfair thing.

And even if it’s just to die... not many people even have the qualification.

At the very least, you need to have a ranking on the Celestial Ladder List to count as "having potential" in the guide’s eyes.

So the pool of people to choose from is actually very, very small.

Even so, among the people in that pool, a considerable fraction are the type who wouldn’t even blink before staking their lives for Wen Xishu.

For example Xun Hui, Wenren Mirror, Yue Yun, Nissen... but Albert does not allow these people to go and replace Wen Xishu.

Because he has already chosen someone.

The information Jiang Xue got from the guide was different; she had been explicitly designated to go to the great battlefield.

Jiang Xue herself was quite calm about it.

After learning that she didn’t have much time left, she didn’t stay at school, but went back home to say goodbye to her older brother Jianghe.

And the other exception was Zheng Zai.

Zheng Zai knew the one who would make the final call was the Old Principal; the person who ultimately decided who would go to be exchanged for Younger Brother Wen could only be the Old Principal.

So the moment he got the news, he started thinking about how he should persuade the Old Principal.

At this moment, he had already arrived at the principal’s office.

Albert had already approved Jiang Xue’s request, because Jiang Xue was personally named by Wen Xishu.

But indeed, the guide had said that Wen Xishu was too important, and Capricorn needed two valuable people in order to trade Wen Xishu away.

The Old Principal had already flatly rejected Xun Hui, who had knocked three times, and Wenren Mirror, who had knocked twice.

Xun Hui’s reason was that one could train anywhere.

Wenren Mirror’s reason was that maybe outside the Bunker, he could find leads on Wen Chaohua.

Yue Yun and Nissen, on the other hand, were purely acting out of friendship.

All of these people were rejected by the Old Principal.

Now, facing Zheng Zai, he wanted to hear what this young man had in mind.

"If you tell me you’re willing to die for him, that’s unnecessary. I’ve already turned down several people who were willing to die for him."

"Listen, what I need is not stupid sacrifice, but something solid, something that makes me feel that you have a win–win reason."

"If you don’t, Young Friend Zheng Zai, you can go back."
