Chapter 2605 — Han Jingyi Is Kidnapped

"So, since I am your founder and you are my teacher, let us help each other and treat one another as equals. But at school, you are still my teacher and I am still your student. In private, believe whatever you like," Wei Zhao said, settling for the next best thing.
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Zhang Lifeng had left such an ancestral precept behind. But only a man as upright and unyielding as Chief Bai would ever abide by it; anyone with ill intent would surely have killed him and seized the treasure rather than acknowledge the existence of a founder like him.
"That... works too!" Chief Bai knew their relationship had grown rather tangled. At school, he was indeed Wei Zhao's teacher—an unchangeable fact.
"Teacher Bai, the real reason I came this time was to bring you those alchemist's notes to look at. After all, they should have been yours to begin with... and I have kept them all this time before bringing them out..." Wei Zhao said, a little embarrassed.
"That is not right. Whether you look at it from the angle that you are my founder, or from the angle that you are my disciple, these alchemist's notes are yours as well. Even among fellow disciples, they belong to whoever has the fate to obtain them. That you are willing to bring them to me to share already makes me very happy," Chief Bai said, without any pretense or false modesty, speaking honestly. He had waited a long time to see these alchemist's notes.
"Good. Since everything is settled, I will find Han Jingyi and have her send you a copy—she has already scanned them into an electronic version," Wei Zhao said. With the matter settled, Wei Zhao felt he had fulfilled a long-held wish. After all, Chief Bai had given so much for him, and it would be unreasonable for Wei Zhao to give nothing in return.
Although Zhang Lifeng's alchemist's notes were far more precious than the materials Chief Bai had given him, when all was said and done, they were things that belonged to Chief Bai's own sect.
Wei Zhao fished out his phone, ready to call Han Jingyi—but Wang Xinyan's call came through first.
At noon, since Wei Zhao had not come, Wang Xinyan and Han Jingyi had gone to the cafeteria together to eat. But before they reached it, a black off-road vehicle came speeding over, braked hard, and stopped right beside Wang Xinyan and Han Jingyi.
Just as the two of them were stunned, the car door opened and a woman in black stepped out. Without giving Wang Xinyan or Han Jingyi a chance to ask anything, she struck first, bringing a knife-hand chop down on Han Jingyi's neck. Though Han Jingyi was an Earth-rank expert, her defensive ability was very weak, and the woman in black was a Heaven-rank expert—so even with true qi protecting her body, it was no use.
Han Jingyi crumpled on the spot, and the tablet computer in her hands slid to the ground. But before Wang Xinyan could even cry out for help, the woman in black flung Han Jingyi into the car and then sped away in a cloud of dust.
