"What... do you want?" Pei Wusu lowered his eyes.
Chen Yan turned her head and looked at him, "I want to take you back."
Wen Yuchu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about exposing your identity, because you are wearing the 'Thousand Jade Mask'. Even if someone sees through your disguise, they can't see your true face."
Pei Wusu's expression changed, and it seemed as if a barrier in his heart cracked like a spider web. He stroked his cheek with trembling hands.
"We've been waiting for you." Jiang Xianyue said.
Zhuge Youlin echoed, "Yes, we also went to find Qingwu and calculated your location. He said we would meet in Zhongyu City. Qingwu's calculations are really accurate. He also said that you can't escape from our Shura team."
Can't escape...
Pei Wusu's eyes were sore and he closed them. He had been wanting to confirm something in his heart, but he hadn't said it yet.
Do they all know their true identities?
Do they really want to be with a scourge like him? Is it worth it?
After a moment of silence.
Xiao Zechuan's eyes dimmed slightly as he said to them, "He's passed out."
Yu Changying raised his eyebrows: "He can hold on until now before passing out, which is quite impressive."
Chen Yan said calmly, "He's covered in blood. Bringing him into the Muyun Inn like this will definitely arouse suspicion from others. Let's find a place to treat his wounds first, and then change him into the uniform of the Western Region Academy."
"good."
Yu Changying asked, "Yan Yan, do you have his identity jade token?"
Chen Yan nodded and turned her head to look at Yu Changying: "Here, I got it back from the dean specifically just for this moment."
Yu Changying smiled.
…
Midnight.
The Shura team returned to the Muyun Inn.
Xiao Zechuan supported the unconscious Pei Wusu. Pei Wusu was wearing the uniform of the Western Region Academy, and his appearance was still as mediocre as before.
The injuries on his body were treated by Jiang Xianyue, and the clothes he was wearing belonged to Xiao Zechuan.
The waiter at the Muyun Inn was a little surprised to see that they had just returned. After asking a few simple questions, he let them in.
As soon as they entered the West Pavilion, they saw Dean Xuanyun, who had white hair and a youthful face, and three elders from the Secret Academy standing not far from the entrance, staring at them.
Dean Xuanyun's gaze instantly fell on Pei Wusu, and his eyes narrowed.
"What's going on?"
When he said this, he looked at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan raised his hand and bowed, then looked directly at Dean Xuanyun and said word by word: "We are going to pick up Wu Su and return him to the team."
Before Dean Xuanyun could open his mouth to question him, Chen Yan continued, "Wu Su has completed his mission and found a divine artifact. Dean, please check it out."
Chen Yan raised her finger and pointed at Pei Wusu's face.
Dean Xuanyun and the three elders of the Secret Dean's face changed slightly, and they immediately used their spiritual sense to check Pei Wusu's true appearance, but they found that the more they looked at it, the blurrier his face seemed, and it was impossible to see clearly.
Dean Xuanyun immediately thought of a magical artifact.
——Thousand Jade Faces.
I didn’t expect that they could find such a magical artifact as the Thousand Jade Mask.
Dean Xuanyun stared at Chen Yan with a serious look.
"Chen Yan, you stay."
Hearing this, Wen Yuchu and the others' expressions changed and they looked at Chen Yan worriedly.
"Yes." Chen Yan lowered her head and replied, then said to Wen Yuchu and the others, "You guys go back to the guest room first."
“Yan Yan…”
"Go back, I also have something to tell the dean."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuchu and the others had no choice but to leave first.
After they went upstairs, Dean Xuanyun raised his hand and set up a barrier, with only five people inside the barrier.
An elder from the Secret Court suppressed his anger and roared, "Chen Yan, how dare you kneel down!"
An overwhelming and powerful aura of oppression pressed down towards Chen Yan.
Chen Yan held on and did not kneel down.
Another elder's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Chen Yan, are you really that bold? You actually brought Pei Su back at this time! The mysterious man in black in the city today should be Pei Su, right? You did it knowing that it was wrong, which is really hateful! Moreover, as the leader of a team, you are so willful!"
"We will send Pei Su out of Central Region City, so forget about letting him participate in the 'Five-Academy Plan'!"
Chen Yan's tone was slightly cold: "Dean, three elders, even if Pei Su possesses the artifact Thousand Jade Mask, which can conceal his identity, you still don't want him to participate in the 'Five Academy Plan'?"
The elder of the Confidential Academy said in a deep voice, "Do you know what it means that a single mistake can lead to eternal regret? We at the Western Region Academy cannot afford to take that risk."
Chen Yan fell silent.
Dean Xuanyun looked melancholy and sighed softly, "Chen Yan, you've done enough. Pei Su didn't follow our planned route. He chose a path of no return, coming to Central Region City and personally killing his enemies. But with his meager strength, could he really kill all his enemies? He was just courting death. He felt that we at the Western Region Academy had abandoned him, but we kept him away from Central Region City precisely because we wanted to protect him."
"But he chose to come to Central Region City. He was just being angry."
Pei Su is a stubborn child. Maybe he had a very good character at the beginning, but after the destruction of Tianfang Sect, his character began to change. If he continues like this, he will sooner or later become possessed and even go down a path of no return.
Chen Yan slowly raised her eyes, "I don't know if he came to Zhongyu City out of anger, but I know that he doesn't want to implicate us. He wants to bear everything alone, no matter what his fate is."
Upon hearing this, Dean Xuanyun and others were stunned.
Chen Yan's eyes dimmed slightly. Her starting point was for Pei Su and the Shura team. The dean and the others' starting point was for the entire Western Region Academy.
Different standpoints make it impossible to tell right from wrong.
If she wanted to save Pei Su, the survival of the entire Western Region Academy would be implicated.
In fact, there is a solution to the problem.
That is to destroy the Guiyuan Alliance.
However, with her current strength, let alone destroying the Guiyuan Alliance, even killing Elder An today would be very difficult.
Suddenly, a young man with a weak face walked down from upstairs.
"Pei..." The elder was slightly surprised.
The dean's eyes moved slightly, and he opened the barrier to let the boy in.
Pei Wu Su looked at Chen Yan. Because the dean had set up a barrier, he couldn't hear their conversation at all, but he could see their expressions.
They are making things difficult for Chen Yan.
Because of him.
Pei Wusu smiled at Chen Yan: "Chen Yan, don't worry about my affairs."
Immediately, Pei Wusu took off his courtyard gate clothes, leaving only his inner clothes, which made his figure look even thinner.
He folded the clothes, handed them to Chen Yan, and said, "Give them back to Xiao Zechuan."
He turned to look at the dean and the others: "My affairs have nothing to do with you, but I appreciate your care during my stay at Western Region College. Thank you."
