"Okay, okay, Elder, please feel free to stroll around. We won't disturb you. But if you need anything, you can tell us." Zhuge Youlin agreed on the surface, but he knew in his heart that the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall came back just to catch them fighting. Humph, luckily he reacted quickly enough.
The corner of the Law Enforcement Hall elder's mouth twitched, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he waved his sleeves.
"This elder has finished his tour!"
After saying that, he strode out of the Juling Peak with big strides.
It feels like running away in panic.
"Come back after the competition." Chen Yan raised his eyes and looked at Zhuge Youlin and the other two.
"Okay." Xiao Zechuan immediately pushed Zhuge Youlin and Chi Yue away, causing them to stagger.
Zhuge Youlin was immediately furious.
Chi Yue was still ready to continue attacking the two of them, and the vines had already emerged, but suddenly he heard a sound of Chen Yan.
"Chi Yue, come back."
The vines that emerged swayed a few times and then retracted. Chi Yue looked in the direction of Chen Yan, his expression still cold, but without the murderous intent and impatience.
After calling Xiao Zechuan and the other two back.
Chi Yue sat on the bed, he looked a little drowsy.
Chen Yan sat down again, his eyes swept over the three people covered in bruises, and finally fixed his gaze on Chi Yue, and asked: "Chi Yue, do you want to go out with us tomorrow?"
Chi Yue raised his head, seeming to have regained some energy. His eyes were clear and his lips parted slightly. "Tomorrow, my father will come to see me."
Chen Yan said, "Okay, tomorrow everyone will do their own things and meet whoever they want to meet. Starting the day after tomorrow, we will train together."
"Where is Wu Su?" Yu Changying raised his eyebrows.
Chen Yan's expression paused slightly, "If he has nothing to do, he can come with us."
…
The other side.
Sijing Pavilion of Western Region College.
"Student Pei Wusu greets the dean." A young man with ordinary appearance raised his hand and bowed, saluting the man with white hair and youthful face standing in front of him.
Dean Xuanyun slowly turned around with an indifferent expression, casually set up a barrier, and then said to Pei Wusu, "Sit down."
Pei Wusu nodded in agreement.
He sat properly on the chair on the left, but he was generous and decent, with an aristocratic demeanor. He had long noticed that there was no one else in Sijing Pavilion except him and the dean.
Pei Wusu's heart was beating inexplicably fast. He looked up at the highly respected dean and couldn't help but ask, "Dean, why did you call me here?"
"Pei Su."
The dean's call made Pei Wusu's face suddenly tense.
Then, Dean Xuanyun sighed softly, mixed with a bit of sadness and helplessness. He looked at the young man in front of him with complicated eyes. He could see the young man's true face clearly.
"Pei Su, you can't go to the Central Region."
The young man's face changed slightly, and he stood up suddenly, unable to maintain his composure. He said anxiously, "Dean, why? I will be very careful when I go to the Central Region this time. I will never reveal my identity. I can't miss this opportunity!"
Dean Xuanyun said solemnly, "Pei Su, if your identity is exposed prematurely, do you know how much trouble it will cause? Although you have now reached the Heavenly Grade Realm, your enemies are stronger than you imagine, and their numbers and power are enormous. This is not a trivial matter. A powerful cultivator above the fifth level of the Heavenly Grade Realm can easily see through your disguise. The possibility of your identity being exposed is too great."
"Give up this opportunity..."
The young man's eyes were determined. He interrupted in a deep voice: "Dean, if my face can be recognized, then I can destroy it!"
Upon hearing this, Dean Xuanyun was shocked. He looked at the young man with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but stopping himself. After a few seconds, he walked towards the young man.
He placed a hand on the boy's shoulder and said earnestly, "Pei Su, please do not mention the matter of disfigurement again. I know you desire strength and opportunity, but have you ever considered that if your identity is exposed, it will bring danger to the Western Region Academy and to those around you, such as... the Shura Squad?"
The boy's face turned pale.
Dean Xuanyun felt bad seeing him like this. He admitted that he had let Pei Su lose the opportunity for the sake of the overall situation.
He pursed his lips and said in a soft voice, "Leave the Shura team for now. I will have someone take your place. I have a few missions here that are perfect for you to train. Also, I know a great sword cultivator who I can recommend you to as his disciple. He's in the Eastern Region. With your talent, you could become a formidable force in just two or three years..."
The young man lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.
His hands clenched at his sides.
After hearing what Dean Xuanyun said, his clenched fists gradually loosened, and he looked extremely helpless and as if he had compromised.
The young man looked up and smiled desolately.
"Dean, I'll listen to you."
…
When Pei Wusu left Sijing Pavilion, he took a letter of recommendation, a token, and several task lists. He put these things back into the storage space. He looked up at the sun above the sky and found it particularly dazzling.
The bloody image that appeared in his mind made his heart ache suddenly.
Yes, he can't implicate others.
At least, don't let the Western Region Academy suffer the same fate as the Tianfang Sect.
This is the best ending, isn't it?
Why does he feel a little sad?
Pei Wusu lowered his eyes to avoid the scorching sun, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly. The reason for his sadness was probably that his identity could not be made public, and he had to hide it at all times. If his identity was exposed, he would be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat him.
His former best friend also chose to betray him because of his identity.
The deep hatred weighed heavily on his shoulders, making it impossible for him to move forward lightly, and he could only move forward with a heavy burden.
The figures of Chen Yan and others flashed through his mind.
They should also be afraid of getting into big trouble like him, right?
Thinking of this, Pei Wu Su smiled.
However, this smile revealed a mockery of himself and an unspeakable bitterness.
When he returned to Juling Peak, he saw Xiao Zechuan and Zhuge Youlin repairing the cave gate, while Chen Yan and others had returned to their respective bridal chambers.
Zhuge Youlin caught a glimpse of Pei Wusu out of the corner of his eye and immediately waved at him.
"Pei Wusu, you're back!"
"Hehe, what did the dean say to you? Did he secretly give you special treatment?" Zhuge Youlin winked at Pei Wusu.
Pei Wusu said indifferently: "No."
Before Zhuge Youlin could speak again, he saw Pei Wusu go straight back to his residence.
Zhuge Youlin was slightly stunned. "Did the dean punish him? He seemed very unhappy."
Xiao Zechuan's eyes deepened slightly, and he looked thoughtfully at the place where Pei Wusu lived.
