Chapter 101 Probe (Ch 101)

The school doctor brought Ye Lingtian in and said to Zhou Ke:

“You are quite popular. So many people came to see you in the morning.”

Ye Lingtian responded pretentiously:

“Well, Zhou Ke and I are very good friends, and I came here specially to check on your condition.”

“Please go ahead. I want to be alone with Mr. Zhou for a while.”

He acted as if he and Zhou Ke were good friends, but when he looked at Zhou Ke, his eyebrows moved provocatively.

Zhou Ke also frowned, clearly not welcoming him.

The school doctor was completely unaware of the tense atmosphere and just smiled and nodded:

“Okay, I won’t bother you anymore.”

She went out and closed the door of the ward.

As soon as the school doctor left, Ye Lingtian immediately put away his smiling face and looked stern.

Zhou Ke didn’t say anything either, just stared at him without blinking.

Zhou Ke knew that this was a test between the two.

According to the news, the Ye family did not know the identity of the thief.

This means that Ye Lingtian did not tell Ye Ding that he was the thief.

Because he covered himself tightly and his face was definitely not exposed, perhaps Ye Lingtian himself could not be 100% sure.

Whoever speaks first will fall into the passive position of this temptation.

Finally, Ye Lingtian spoke first:

“You…don’t have anything to say?”

“Yes.” Zhou Ke answered quickly: “I don’t remember that our relationship was good enough for you to come and visit me when I was ill.”

Ye Lingtian was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: “Playing dumb, huh?”

“Don’t you know exactly why I came here?”

Zhou Ke’s expression did not fluctuate at all.

But he knew that Ye Lingtian was still testing him.

He kept answering questions with questions and never mentioned the four-sided stone, just waiting for Zhou Ke to lose his patience and reveal his true colors.

But Zhou Ke could easily see through this little trick.

Zhou Ke showed off his acting skills and talked about something else:

“Could it be… that you are here for… the Elite Cup?”

“You want to ask me which club I would join?”

Ye Lingtian looked a little surprised for a moment.

But he recovered again:

“It seems that you really refuse to admit it.”

Ye Lingtian didn’t intend to beat around the bush and said directly:

“Hand over the four-sided stone.”

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows in confusion:

“What is a tetrahedron?”

“Are you still playing dumb? That’s the diamond you stole from the building yesterday!” Ye Lingtian raised his voice.

Zhou Ke seemed even more surprised:

“What? Something was lost in your building? But didn’t the news say…”

“Nothing was stolen?”

Ye Lingtian’s expression showed a slight wavering.

He really couldn’t be 100% sure that the person yesterday was Zhou Ke himself.

If the thief was really someone else, then he undoubtedly let the cat out of the bag today and revealed the information that the four-sided stone had been stolen.

But his intuition told him that the thief yesterday could not be anyone else but Zhou Ke.

The way he spoke, his behavioral logic, and his style of escape were so similar to Zhou Ke’s overall temperament.

It is hard to find a second one like him in the whole East City, no, in the whole Dragon Country.

But Zhou Ke’s performance was flawless.

He seemed…really totally unaware.

Ye Lingtian thought about it and asked again:

“Did you go out last night?”

Zhou Ke had a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

“Are you being stupid too?”

He gestured to the ward:

“I’m a sickly person! How can I go out?”

“Besides, the door is locked.”

Zhou Ke has many years of experience in magic performances. At this moment, his tone, expression, movements, and even the slight hint of unintentional irritation he revealed were all perfect.

Ye Lingtian was shocked.

Ye Lingtian looked around the entire ward and suddenly saw the window.

“Oh, parachute!!!”

“That little thief escaped via a parachute. No, it was you! You have a parachute!”

“So, you also jumped out of the school with a parachute!”

Zhou Ke finally burst out his impatience:

“Okay, if you keep telling science fiction stories here, I’ll ask the school doctor to ask you to leave.”

“I need to recuperate, please go back.”

Ye Lingtian didn’t say anything, but slowly approached the bed with a mysterious expression.

Zhou Ke frowned and remained alert.

Suddenly, Ye Lingtian leaned over, put his lips close to Zhou Ke’s ear, and whispered:

“I know it’s you. It must be you.”

“But I have no proof.”

“I know. I won’t be able to get the Four-sided Stone back either.”

“but……”

Zhou Ke listened to the whispers quietly without any expression until the next words came out of Ye Lingtian’s mouth.

“I still want to thank you.”

Zhou Ke was slightly startled.

“Thank you… for digging out Ye Ding’s eyeballs.”

“I hate him, I always have.”

Zhou Ke looked at Ye Lingtian suddenly.

Ye Lingtian suddenly looked up, his expression still unpredictable.

He backed away slowly:

“Take good care of yourself.”

Just before leaving the ward, his steps suddenly stopped:

“Also, I will participate in the Elite Cup.”

“And I will definitely not join the same club as you.”

“I must be your opponent, and defeat you personally.”

“See you at the Elite Cup.”

……

Zhou Ke has met all the visitors who came to visit the patient today.

He lay on the bed and whispered:

“Hey, prophet, your prophecy has indeed come true once again.”

“You said that I would be able to learn the secret of the divine tablet’s ascension in just one month.”

“And the rewards for the Elite Cup will also be distributed in one month.”

“Does this mean that I will definitely win the Elite Cup?”

The Prophet’s Skull answered quickly this time:

[Let me make it clear in advance that the future I can see is just a “probability.” ]

[One month later, there is a high probability that you will get the notebook. ]

[But the premise is that you can live until then. ]

Zhou Ke chuckled:

“That’s exactly what I want to ask you next.”

“I can feel that my body is still very weak. Just as you said–“

“You won’t live for three days.”

Zhou Ke paused:

“But the Elite Cup starts in three days. I can’t even make it to the Elite Cup.”

“I… want to continue living.”

The Prophet’s Skull opens its mouth:

【Now, while no one is disturbing you, you can use the four-sided stone. 】

“Very good.” Zhou Ke took out the four-sided stone.

He looked at the four-color light flashing above:

“You said that the four-sided stone stores four souls, right?”

“Can these four souls help me extend my life?”

[Yes, but the premise is that you have to win their favor and prove your strength before you can get their help. ]

“How can we prove our strength to them?” Zhou Ke asked immediately.

The Prophet’s Head said faintly:

[Through them, arranged——]
