That day, Zhou Qianyan received a letter from the Zhou family of Yan Kingdom. She was shocked and incredulous as she read the description in the letter, and subconsciously thought that there was some misunderstanding.
She couldn't wait to find the teacher, wanting to know the reason and prove that the academy, which she held in high esteem, could not possibly be so treacherous.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
What she received was not an explanation, but a cruel and heartless truth.
The revered master, respected and admired by the entire academy, lifted the white hat and robe he wore all year round, revealing his withered, bony face, and told her the cruel truth behind the academy's ability to stand for nearly five hundred years.
During the years she spent at the academy, she longed to go home every moment and worked tirelessly to research new potions, hoping to one day support the vast Zhou family.
She accomplished half of her goal, developing the human skin mask, but she couldn't go back to support Zhou Cheng.
"Who's there?!"
A sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Cheng Xianyi turned her head, her eyes hidden in the darkness glancing towards the source of the sound. She saw the imposter 'Zhou Qianyan' who had come looking for the teacher, and the imposter saw her as well.
We've been discovered!
Cheng Xianyi frowned slightly, then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Less than three seconds after she left, the Master and Instructor Lu rushed out from inside the door. The rooftop was empty; the eavesdropper had vanished.
"Master, Instructor Lu, someone is hiding on the eaves eavesdropping." Zhou Qianyan, wearing a human skin mask, walked over, her face full of regret and anger: "Sneaking around like that, it must be those people from the east!"
"I knew they had ill intentions. They said they wouldn't interfere with the academy's research, but they were just wolves in sheep's clothing."
"The students used this incident as an opportunity to drive them all off the island."
The Master slightly raised his head, his mask concealing his eerie face, revealing only a pair of dark and cold eyes: "No, not to drive them out, but to find him for me!"
"I brought the person to me in one day."
If you overhear a secret you shouldn't have heard, don't blame him for being ruthless.
The secret of casting divination to determine one's fate was known to no more than three people in the entire Nanyue Academy, and those who knew were all his trusted confidants. This matter was of great importance and absolutely could not be made public.
If this gets out of the academy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He worked so hard for so many years, finally found a genius with great fortune, and finally survived more than four hundred years to achieve what he has today. How could he be willing to give up?
He wants immortality, to rule the Central Plains, to stand at the pinnacle of this world, and to have everyone bow down at his feet.
"Da da da—"
"Da da da—"
After the Master gave the order, the guards immediately carried it out and turned the entire academy upside down.
Unfortunately, how could they possibly find the eavesdropper by searching like this?
Cheng Xianyi returned to her room calmly. After dealing with the traces of her nighttime journey, she pretended to know nothing and lay down on the couch, leisurely flipping through the ancient book in her hand.
There's only one day left until the time I agreed to meet with A-Cheng.
Tomorrow at noon, that's when all the grenades will explode.
"eternal life........"
Cheng Xianyi's gaze fell on the book, but her eyes were unfocused, pitch black, as if brewing endless killing intent: "So, this is the plan?"
"So, you almost succeeded."
"Three years ago, when it made a deal with me, it said that no matter what I did, I couldn't break free from the effects of having my luck stolen. Ah Cheng would always be plagued by bad luck and would never be able to return to a normal life..."
“You have deprived him of his destiny for so long.”
"It's time to end it now."
After speaking.
Cheng Xianyi slowly closed her eyes. Although the corners of her lips were curved upwards, she looked so heartbroken and sad. She must be blaming herself for not being able to protect him back then.
Fortunately, she has found her enemy. It doesn't matter. No matter the cost, she will never let him keep an eye on A-Cheng!
Cheng Xianyi clenched her pale fingers and silently counted down in her mind.
Ten, nine, eight, seven.........
They've arrived.
Knock knock knock!
"Master Cheng, the Master has ordered that a discussion meeting will be held tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM. All those in power in the East must attend; none can be absent. The Master has important matters to announce at that time."
Cheng Xianyi slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the figure reflected in the doorway, and said calmly, "I understand, I will attend the meeting on time."
From the moment she entered the academy, Cheng Xianyi was already planning how to gather everyone from the east the next day. She knew the power of grenades and was even more aware of how wide the blast radius would be.
Five hundred grenades exploded simultaneously, and the expected range was about five hundred meters.
The academy occupies a large area, and it is necessary to gather the people together in order to kill all the members of the Eastern Academy and the Master.
She could only attract the teacher's attention by eavesdropping. Since he cared so much about his power and wanted to appear aloof, he would definitely do anything to expose her.
Fortunately, the result went smoothly, didn't it?
Come on tomorrow.
