Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2646

Chapter 2646: Yuan’s Testimony(3)

The room remained silent long after Yuan finished recounting his side of the story. The interrogator stared at him with wide eyes, disbelief clear across his face.

"Since this is a testimony and not an interrogation, I should be done here, right?" Yuan spoke after a moment of silence.

"O-Of course..." The interviewer nodded in a dazed manner.

Yuan left the room shortly after, but before he could go anywhere, Mei Feng came out of the spectators’ room and asked him, "What are you going to do now? Don’t tell me you’re going to the mission hall."

Yuan smiled and said, "How did you know?"

"You can’t be seriously thinking about going on another mission right after everything that has happened!" one of the officers behind Mei Feng exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hm? Who said anything about accepting a mission?" Yuan replied before elaborating, "I am going to take the exam for the Black Zone—or the Purple Zone if I have to get the permit for that first."

"Nobody would blame you for taking a rest, you know?"

"I know, but I am not the type who likes to sit around doing nothing all day."

Mei Feng sighed and said, "Do as you please."

"Thanks."

"Before you go..."

Just as Yuan started turning around, Mei Feng retrieved something from her pocket and tossed it to him.

"This is... a storage cube?" Yuan muttered after catching the item.

"The Ironwoman asked me to give it to you wh—if you ever returned," Mei Feng said, almost revealing that she already knew Yuan was alive before his return.

Yuan didn’t say anything, merely offering a silent nod before leaving with the storage cube.

After leaving, Yuan made his way to the mission hall to see when the next exam was.

Unsurprisingly, his presence attracted the attention of everyone in the mission hall.

"H-Hey... am I seeing things, or is that Corporal Yuan?"

"You haven’t heard yet? Apparently he managed to make it back alive."

"No, I haven’t! When did he return?"

"Literally today."

"That’s crazy... To survive outside the city for months alone? He’s really a different breed."

"Not just outside the city. If the rumors are true, he went to the Black Zone."

It didn’t take long before someone approached Yuan and asked him directly, "Can you tell us what happened out there?"

Yuan replied with a smile, "I just gave my testimony, so you will learn of it soon."

"Can’t you just tell us now?"

"I was advised by General Mei not to say anything about it until then," he said, using Mei Feng as a scapegoat.

"Oh..."

Sure enough, when the soldier heard Mei Feng’s name, he immediately backed down.

And for the rest of Yuan’s time in the mission hall, nobody approached him again.

Once he was inside the machine, Yuan tried to join the next Black Zone exam.

However, as he’d anticipated, he needed to first pass the exam for the Purple Zone.
