I'm not a drama god

While Sun Bumian was having a "secret chat" with Teacher Ye, the others had already walked out of the office.

The next moment, Chen Ling couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you here?"

"What? You're the only one who can come from the Fusion School, so we can't come?" Jian Changsheng asked as a matter of course, "J of Diamonds said that my situation is very special, and only Teacher Ye in the world is most likely to have a solution... I want to improve my strength as soon as possible, so of course I have to come to him."

"..."

Chen Ling couldn't refute it. She looked at Jiang Xiaohua beside her, wanting him to explain the embarrassing "flower-changing" performance just now. But after hesitating for a long time, she sighed helplessly...

Chen Ling knew Jiang Xiaohua's personality. This guy was completely easygoing. When he was trapped in the Imperial Dao Ancient Treasure before, he could find a place to bury himself on the spot, and had no intention of finding a way to leave. There was no difference between the human realm and the gray realm fusion faction to him.

"Where's Cube? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

"I don't know. It seems like he is whispering to Mr. Ye in there... I guess he is encouraging him to deal with the Red King."

"What is the grudge between him and the Red King?"

Chen Ling had been puzzled before. Sun Bumian liked to seek good fortune and avoid danger the most, and he seldom had conflicts with others. Why did he take the initiative to provoke the Red King?

"It seems that the property accumulated over thousands of years was stolen by the Red King... I don't know the details."

Chen Ling:?

Just as they were talking, the office door opened, and Sun Bumian walked out with a string in one hand and a subtle expression...

"How is it? What did Teacher Ye say?"

"He said that the Fusion Faction never gets involved in the fights between other forces..."

"It's pretty much what I guessed." Chen Ling nodded slightly. "Teacher Ye doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble with the Twilight Society."

"But..." The next moment, Sun Bumian changed the subject.

"He personally expressed interest in my idea of ​​defeating the Red King and replacing him."

"???"

Seeing the faint smile on Sun Bumian's face, Chen Ling came back to his senses after a moment, and glanced at the closed office door in disbelief.

"How could this happen... Could it be that Teacher Ye and King Hong have a feud?"

"Then I don't know. Anyway, my idea is promising!" Sun Bumian rubbed his hands together with a smug look on his face, as if he had already seen the lost gold waving to him.

"During this period of time, I need to plan carefully..."

Sun Bumian muttered to himself as he walked deeper into the mother tree.

"...Does he know where his room is?" Chen Ling had a strange expression on his face.

"What? We have our own room?" Jian Changsheng was surprised. "Isn't this a tree? I thought we all had to sleep hanging on the tree..."

"Can I not sleep in the room?" Jiang Xiaohua raised her hand silently, "...I want to sleep on the ground."

"You guys came here without knowing anything?"

Chen Ling was a little speechless. He suddenly remembered something and looked around. "Where is the Jack of Diamonds who brought you here? Didn't he come in with you?"

"He..."

Jian Changsheng shrugged.

"After sending us to the door, he didn't come in. He said he was embarrassed to see some old friends again... If nothing unexpected happened, he should have set off back to the human realm."

Chen Ling turned his head and looked in the direction outside the mother tree, as if thinking about something.

……

A bone-chilling cold wind swept across the barren land.

Under the lead-gray clouds, Diamond J stood quietly among the messy flying rubble, gazing at the towering dead trees in the distance with a complicated expression.

After an unknown amount of time, he still couldn't muster up the courage, so he shook his head and walked away.

"I haven't been back for so many years. Are you really not going to come in and sit for a while?"

A calm voice sounded from behind him.

Diamond J was slightly stunned. He looked back and saw a plainly dressed teacher who had come to the top of the hill without him noticing, with the corners of his clothes dancing in the wind.

"...Mr. Ye."

For the first time, a look of student-like reverence emerged on the tattooed, ferocious-looking face of Diamond J. It was like the complexity and melancholy of returning to high school to see his teacher again after entering society and experiencing more than a decade of ups and downs.

"I'm no longer a member of the fusion faction, so how can I have the face to go back..." Diamond J smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Just because you're not a Fusionist doesn't mean you can't be a guest... Although you're the Jack of Diamonds of the Twilight Society now, I still regard you as my student." Teacher Ye smiled. "It's not easy for a student to come back once. How can I just take a look at the door and leave?"

The Jack of Diamonds opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"How have you been these years?"

"...It's okay." Diamond J paused for a moment, "The Dusk Society is not as comfortable as the Fusion Sect. We don't have a fixed place, but just keep wandering between various realms... Life is a bit hard, but at least I feel at ease."

Hearing the last sentence, Teacher Ye frowned slightly.

"After all these years, are you still doubting the teacher?"

"I have never doubted the teacher. What I doubted was the 'fusion' itself." Diamond J looked into Teacher Ye's eyes with a calm and firm tone.

"'Fusion' itself..."

Teacher Ye seemed to recall something, and a trace of reluctance and pain appeared in his eyes behind the lenses. He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and slowly spoke.

"I have been studying fusion and disaster for over three hundred years... I founded the Fusion School and saved the lives of so many children. Even your life was saved by me using the fusion technology...

Why, why don't you all want to believe me?"

There was no anger in Mr. Ye's voice, only endless sorrow. He did not express dissatisfaction with the Jack of Diamonds, but was questioning himself or the fairness of the world.

"I am willing to believe the teacher." Diamond J said slowly, "But, someone has to prepare a way out... If things go to the worst end, restarting the world will be the last way out for mankind."

"...I understand."

Teacher Ye opened his eyes and looked at Jack of Diamonds seriously. "Among my students, you are the one who is most prepared for a rainy day... So when you chose to leave the Fusion School, I was not angry. I even felt a little relieved...

But it doesn’t matter anymore.”

Teacher Ye took out a test tube from his arms. Scarlet blood was surging in it, reflecting Teacher Ye's eyes that were sparkling with determination and confidence.

“I have obtained the blood of the Lord of Disaster. If you give me some more time, I will be able to prove that I am right… By then, whether it is me, you, or the entire Fusion Sect, we will all return to the light.

We will become the saviors of mankind."
