Soon, he withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the door.
He deliberately chose late at night so that the gatekeeper could fall asleep and then climb over the door to leave.
However, before he could perform his Qinggong, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Where are you going so late?"
Suddenly, Mu Yansong stopped.
He turned around and saw Su Xiaoxiao coming out from the corner.
She came in front of him and looked up at him.
"You don't want to get us into trouble, so you want to do it late at night, right here!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and spoke with certainty.
While eating, she noticed that Mu Yansong's expression was not right.
He said this, but the royal family did not recognize him.
But his expression at that time clearly showed that he was lying!
"I've run out of money, and I want to go to the mercenary group and take on a mission."
"Really?" Su Xiaoxiao knew he was lying, but she didn't expose him: "It just so happens that I'm short of money too, why don't you take me with you?"
Mu Yansong was silent.
He knew that Su Xiaoxiao saw through him.
She was so smart that he couldn't hide it from her!
"Aren't we going to the mercenary group? Let's go!"
As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao walked past him and headed towards the door.
Mu Yansong frowned and reached out to gently hold her little head.
"I'm sorry, I can't hide it from you. I'm not going to the mercenary group, but..."
"He wants to abandon us and leave Canglong Academy alone!"
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and helped him finish the rest of his words.
Her eyes were cold, as if she was looking at a stranger.
Mu Yansong met her gaze and quickly shook his head.
"No, I'm afraid that if I stay, I'll get you into trouble!"
"Since we're friends, why should we be afraid of getting into trouble? Luye isn't afraid, my aunt isn't afraid, and I won't be afraid either!"
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with determination.
"Brother Song, are you such a coward that you don't even have the courage to stay and face it with us?"
"I……"
"Don't forget, this is Canglong Academy. Looking across the entire Beiyuan Nation, there's no place safer than here.
There is an agreement between the academy and the late emperor, so even if the current emperor wants to touch you, it won't be that easy.
Even if he does come up with a solution, his only target is you. We won't be implicated by you, and you won't have to bear any burden.
So, stay. If there are any problems, let's find a solution together!"
Su Xiaoxiao's words made Mu Yansong a little hesitant.
He thought about it seriously and nodded: "Okay!"
Su Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and felt relieved.
She was really afraid that Mu Yansong would get stuck in a rut and not listen to her advice.
Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary.
Only Su Xiaoxiao knew when Mu Yansong wanted to leave secretly at night.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and kept this matter a secret between them and did not tell anyone else.
…
The people sent by the emperor to Canglong Academy took Instructor Zhou back that same day.
It took them seven days to come.
The man felt that the delay was too long, so he handed the task of escorting Teacher Zhou to his two followers.
He himself rode back at full speed.
Because he was in a hurry, he returned to Yunshui City in just four days.
"Have the troublemakers been handed over to the Ministry of Justice?"
The emperor looked at the memorial on the dragon table without even raising his eyelids.
The man standing below glanced at him in panic, then quickly lowered his eyes.
“Not yet… not yet!”
"If you haven't handed it over to the Ministry of Justice, then go ahead and hand it over. Do you really need me to teach you such a simple thing?"
The emperor still didn't look up, but his tone was noticeably colder.
The eunuch frowned slightly and waved his hand at the man, signaling him to leave quickly.
However, the man pretended not to notice, clasping his fists and saying, "Your Majesty, I saw someone at Canglong Academy who looked very similar to... the late emperor. I suspected he was the scourge, and hurried back to report. That's why I... entrusted the task of escorting him to my two followers."
The emperor was slightly startled when he heard his words.
He raised his head and looked at the man standing below.
"Who did you say you met at your Canglong Academy?"
"Your Majesty, I saw the disaster..."
Before the man could finish his words, he suddenly remembered that the disaster star was the prince.
He was worried about the emperor and didn't like being called the "disaster star" so, so he immediately changed his words and said, "It's...it's the Seventh Prince!"
"What a scoundrel the Seventh Prince is. He's a disaster, is he worthy of being a prince?" The emperor stood up angrily and asked, "Are you sure the person you saw was him?"
"this……"
Hearing the emperor's question, the man hesitated.
He had never seen what the Seventh Prince looked like, but he felt that the man he met at Canglong Academy was about 60% similar to the late emperor.
He didn't dare to make any promises in front of the emperor.
If he recognized the wrong person, the emperor would not let him go.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not sure. I have never seen that calamity star. It is just that when I first saw him, I felt that he looked very similar to the late emperor, so I had some doubts."
The emperor stared at him and was not surprised by his sudden change of words.
This guy is the most cunning.
He would not take the risk of making any firm statement without solid evidence.
But since he said that the man looked about 60% similar to the late emperor, he was most likely the disaster star.
"Go, send an army over there and kill that evil star for me!"
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this!" The eunuchs rushed forward to stop them. "Master Chen said that the evil star is in Canglong Academy. Canglong Academy has an agreement with the late emperor. Your Majesty cannot kill anyone in Canglong Academy, or else it will give people something to talk about!"
"Another agreement with the late emperor. The late emperor has been dead for so many years, is he still going to restrict me?"
"Your Majesty, we can slowly find a way to dissolve the agreement between the late emperor and Canglong Academy. But before doing so, Your Majesty must not directly attack the people from Canglong Academy. Those civil servants are not easy to deal with. If Your Majesty wants to get rid of this evil, it's better to do it secretly."
Hearing this, the emperor frowned and stared at the eunuch standing below with inquiry.
"Have you come up with any good ideas?"
"This old servant does have a way to relieve the emperor's worries."
After saying this, the eunuch turned and looked at Lord Chen.
The emperor understood his look and waved to him.
"Come forward and speak."
"promise!"
The eunuch stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear.
After hearing this, the emperor slowly relaxed his frown and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, that's a good idea!" The emperor smiled and slammed the dragon table. "I don't trust anyone else, so I'll leave this matter to you personally!"
