Upon hearing this, Lin Jingge suddenly frowned.

If this is the former dean's secluded cave, then it won't be so easy to break into.

[Xiao Shi, investigate and see if there really is a Divine-Demon Transfer Array here. I'm a little worried that my detector is malfunctioning.] Lin Jingge called out to Xiao Shi in her heart.

Since this place is where the former dean went into seclusion, it's not something you can just barge into so easily. If you're not 100% sure, it's really not a good idea.

Therefore, Lin Jingge could only ask Xiaoshi to confirm the change again.

"Okay." Xiao Shi responded and immediately jumped off Lin Jingge's shoulder, then approached the cave that was sealed by the stone door.

When Xiao Shi made a move, Qing Jian suddenly looked towards Lin Jingge's shoulder.

His gaze fell upon the very spot where Xiao Shi had just been.

Lin Jingge, whose gaze had been following Xiao Shi, suddenly noticed Qing Jian's questioning look out of the corner of her eye, and felt a pang of guilt.

Fortunately, Qingjian only looked puzzled for a moment before shifting her gaze away.

"I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle." Qing Jian frowned slightly, then relaxed, and turned to look at Lin Jingge again.

"Can you confirm that there is a divine and demonic transfer array inside this cave?" Qingjian asked seriously.

You should know that being disturbed during seclusion can easily distract you, and it's good enough if your cultivation level regresses. The worst thing is if you happen to be there when the other person is preparing to break through and is planning to use lightning to undergo tribulation.

At that time, either the foundation will be destroyed or the life will be lost.

The price was extremely high, so high that even something as simple as the Divine Demon Transfer Array required Qingjian to confirm it again and again.

"Let me take another look," Lin Jingge said, focusing her gaze on the detector in her hand. She didn't dare to meet Qingjian's eyes because she hadn't received a response from Xiaoshi and wasn't too sure.

This was also her first time using the detector of the Divine Demon Transfer Array, and she didn't know how accurate it was. The previous tests were all virtual illusions simulated by Xiao Shi, which were still a bit different from the real thing.

"Xiao Shi? How's your investigation going?" Lin Jingge asked anxiously in her heart. At this moment, she was also feeling the pressure from Qing Jian's questioning.

[Alright, alright!]

Xiao Shi rushed towards Lin Jingge and quickly replied, "I've found it. It's in the cave, next to the entrance."

Hearing this, Lin Jingge immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It should be noted that Xiao Shi's accuracy rate is 100%. Now, she has no more worries. She took her gaze away from the detector in her hand and looked up at Qing Jian.

"It's confirmed, there is indeed a divine and demonic transfer array inside!"

"Are you sure?" Qing couldn't help but ask again to confirm.

"Yes! I'm 100% sure!"

Lin Jingge was now full of confidence and met Qingjian's gaze.

The two stared at each other for a moment before Qingjian looked away and nodded to Lin Jingge: "Alright, I'll trust you this once."

"I'll contact Dean Zhao."

After saying that, Qingjian took out a jade slip from his storage container and walked to the side.

Lin Jingge breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qingjian was a little further away from her.

Then, he and Xiaoshi started chatting in their minds.

[Did you get a clear view of the entire cave when you were exploring?]

Xiao Shi tilted its head, perched on top of Lin Jingge's head, and scratched its ear with its hind leg: [I see it. It's just a cave, nothing special.]

Lin Jingge was somewhat surprised by this answer. After all, the person inside the cave was Dean Zhao. Such a prestigious figure as Dean Zhao was in seclusion in a simple cave.

It's unbelievable just thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Lin Jingge suddenly realized that Xiao Shi seemed to have missed answering something.

[Didn't you see anyone inside the cave?]

Xiao Shi: [I didn't sense anyone there. It's just an empty cave, isn't it?]

Xiao Shi was also stumped by the question.

Lin Jingge was also stunned.

Wasn't it said that Dean Zhao was in seclusion in a cave?

But Xiao Shi said she didn't see Dean Zhao inside.

Subconsciously, Lin Jingge definitely believed Xiao Shi, but Qing Jian next to her had no reason to lie to her!

The truth will only be revealed once the stone gate is opened.

Lin Jingge stopped thinking and looked at Qingjian, who was still contacting Dean Zhao.

However, the other party seemed to have encountered some problem. At this moment, he was tightly holding the jade slip, his brows were furrowed, and his face was stern.

It's obvious that something went wrong.

"Dean, what's wrong with you?" After waiting for a long time, Lin Jingge asked hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Qingjian looked up from the jade slip and gazed at Lin Jingge.

He frowned again: "I don't know why, but I can't get in touch with Dean Zhao."

If we can't get in touch, we won't know what's inside the cave, and it will be difficult to open it.

"How could we not be able to contact him?" Lin Jingge frowned as well, clearly knowing that if they couldn't reach Dean Zhao, they wouldn't be able to find out what was happening inside the cave or open the stone door.

Now, Xiao Shi's answer echoed in Lin Jingge's mind.

—There was no one inside the cave.

Qingjian shook his head.

"If I can't get in touch with Dean Zhao, I can't make the decision. The stone door can't be opened for the time being."

"Dean, don't you have any other ideas?" Lin Jingge asked anxiously.

Her purpose in returning this time was to prepare to go to the Canglan Continent to destroy the lower-level formations, in order to get ahead of Chu Wang.

However, there's still this problem in the South Campus. If we don't deal with it in time, Chu Wang might come knocking on our door at any moment.

"There's no other way but to wait until Dean Zhao replies. But don't worry, Dean Zhao is a sensible person when it comes to such important matters."

Seeing that Qingjian had made up his mind, Lin Jingge shook her head inwardly and couldn't help but ask, "Dean, have you ever considered that Dean Zhao might not be here?"

“What are you thinking? Since Dean Zhao handed over the South Academy to me, he has been in seclusion in his cave for all these years and has never come out,” Qingjian said.

He clearly disagreed with Lin Jingge's statement, only feeling that she was being overly suspicious.

"Dean, I'm not joking, I'm serious," Lin Jingge hurriedly said. "I can sense that there is no one in this cave."

"Impossible!" Qingjian rejected the idea without even thinking.

"This is an array I set up myself. Not to mention you, even I cannot see what's inside the cave."

Lin Jingge did not refute, but just stared at him blankly.

That gaze made Qingjian a little insecure.

He suddenly began to have some doubts.

"No, no way?"
