All eyes in Flower Fairy Valley turned to Ling Yan'er.
Ling Yan'er's expression was complicated, and her eyes were dim. She said, "This disciple has made a mistake. Please punish me, Master."
She knew that her master, the Flower Fairy, hated nothing more than shirking responsibility and making excuses after making a mistake. She thought it was better to honestly take responsibility, and that way she might be forgiven.
As expected, upon hearing this, the Flower Fairy glanced at her disciple, sighed, and said, "This is not your fault. I'm afraid the flower slaves captured this time are not clean! Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."
At the Flower Fairy's command, the flower servants who came with Lu Chen were in for a terrible time.
Having finally managed to sneak into Flower Fairy Valley, he gained nothing but lost his life without even a chance to explain himself.
"Have you found Zhong Yuyan?"
The Flower Fairy suddenly remembered another disciple of hers, who had been in seclusion in Peach Blossom Spring, but had now disappeared without a trace.
Even if the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm collapsed, with Zhong Yuyan's strength, it's impossible that she was completely powerless to resist and was reduced to ashes. She must have been captured.
"This person went to great lengths to infiltrate my Flower Fairy Valley, all to kidnap Zhong Yuyan?"
Suddenly, the flower fairy's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be her?"
Zhong Yuyan once had a grudge against a woman from the Xuanwu Academy, a fact that the Flower Fairy also knew.
At this moment, when Zhong Yuyan was kidnapped, her first thought was whether it was revenge from that woman from Xuanwu Academy. The answer remained unknown.
"Send someone to Flower Fairy City to gather as much information as possible. Also, Yan'er, come with me."
The Flower Fairy dismissed the others and led Ling Yan'er into the secret chamber.
"Yan'er, I have a task for you. This journey is very dangerous. I hope you will not fail my trust."
The Flower Fairy looked very serious as she stared at her newly accepted apprentice, considering the feasibility of the plan. Finally, she decided that it should be fine.
Ling Yan'er originally thought that she would be punished by the Flower Fairy or interrogated about the cause and effect of the matter. She was racking her brains to figure out how to dispel the Flower Fairy's suspicions.
Unexpectedly, this is what the flower fairy said.
“Master has given the order, and your disciple dares not disobey.”
Ling Yan'er did not hesitate.
The Flower Fairy stood up and took two steps, finally making up her mind. She said, "I want you to find a way to infiltrate the Xuanwu Academy and gather information. I have always suspected that the destruction of the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm this time is related to Lu Ziqi of the Xuanwu Academy. You must find a way to become Lu Ziqi's disciple. Once you get the information, use the unique communication method of my Flower Fairy Valley to contact me. Do you understand?"
At this moment, Ling Yan'er's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
"What? Master wants me to infiltrate the Xuanwu Academy?"
She immediately realized that Lu Chen was already at the Xuanwu Academy, and her master had actually asked her to be an undercover agent, which was both laughable and absurd.
"But Master, how can I become a disciple of Lu Ziqi? Who is Lu Ziqi?"
Ling Yan'er smiled bitterly. How could the Xuanwu Academy be so easy to enter? Otherwise, why would she have chosen to join the first-rate sect, Flower Fairy Valley? Wasn't that going the long way around? "I have my own way! You just need to do as I say."
The Flower Fairy, however, was full of confidence.
Ling Yan'er looked bewildered, but since the Flower Fairy had said so, she didn't ask any more questions.
The sect has suffered a great calamity, and Flower Fairy Valley has been extremely turbulent recently. A group of idle people were investigated, and none of the flower slaves who were recently taken in survived.
In addition, any disciples who were suspected of any wrongdoing were placed in solitary confinement, and everyone who had contact with Lu Chen was interrogated.
But there was nothing they could do; Lu Chen had already escaped, and any further measures they took would be futile.
On this very day, Ling Yan'er finally left Flower Fairy Valley, concealing her identity as a Flower Fairy Valley disciple, changing her appearance, and heading to Xuanwu City.
Meanwhile, Lu Chen had already returned to Xuanwu City and rushed back to Xuanwu Academy to meet his master, Lu Ziqi.
"You're back?"
Lu Ziqi looked at her apprentice with surprise. He hadn't contacted her since he left, and only returned after several months. She wondered what had happened to him.
"Master! I've missed you so much! Do you know how I've been these past three months? I haven't been able to eat or sleep properly."
Without saying a word, Lu Chen rushed up to give him a big hug. After all, it was a long-awaited reunion, and it didn't seem wrong to hug him in his excitement.
"stop."
Lu Ziqi looked disgusted and waved her hand. Suddenly, an invisible wall of energy appeared in front of her, blocking Lu Chen's attack.
Lu Chen could not move an inch. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through this barrier of energy and had to give up.
Of course, he was just putting on an act and had no expectation of succeeding.
System notification: Your confession to Lu Ziqi was unsuccessful. You have received a reward of ten [Source Crystals].
"How's the matter going?"
Lu Ziqi frowned slightly, looking at her apprentice. She hadn't held out much hope, since the matter was inherently difficult and almost impossible to complete.
Even I myself am helpless.
But who would have thought that when Lu Chen suddenly turned around, he saw a woman who had fallen into a coma suddenly appear in front of Lu Ziqi.
Lu Ziqi was startled.
"This is?"
She stared intently at that familiar face, a face that had appeared in her mind countless times, making her grit her teeth in hatred and yearn to get rid of it as soon as possible.
