When Xia Lian opened the door, her eyes lit up when she saw Yun Yuan. The young lady looked so beautiful today. She looked like a fresh flower bud, even more dazzling than before.
"Miss, the pharmacy elder just came and said that the bath residue used by Feng Aotian was found and asked you to go to the medicine cabinet."
Yun Yuan nodded and walked outside. The breeze blew her dress, and the hem of her skirt fluttered, carrying the rich and elegant fragrance, drifting far away.
Along the way, Yun Yuan received different looks, some were amazed, some were sympathetic, some were pitiful, some were gloating, and some were happy.
"Let her go crazy. She must have been targeted. Why did Feng Aotian choose her instead of someone else?"
Yun Yuan paused and smiled slightly, as if thousands of rays of light had descended upon her, her elegance and grace were unparalleled.
Everyone who saw her smile looked stunned, including He Li, the girl who was talking about Yun Yuan.
Yun Yuan smiled softly, but she was merciless when she attacked. With a "slap" sound, everyone came to their senses and found that He Li had been slapped to the ground by Yun Yuan.
He Li was a little dazed after being hit, but she became angry the moment she realized what was happening.
"Yun Yuan, why did you hit me?"
"Ah?" Yun Yuan took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers, saying softly, "There are so many people here, why did I only hit you and not others? You should think more about your reasons."
He Li was about to go crazy: "Did you hit me or was it my fault?"
"Then it's my fault that my talent was swapped?" Yun Yuan's eyes grew fierce. "I hope you can say the same about yourself when you're hurt in the future."
He Li was speechless. Seeing that everyone around her was looking at her with disapproval, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Yun Yuan snorted coldly and continued walking towards the medicine cabinet.
"Meet the Dean, the elders, and the mentors."
"Yun Yuan is here. Do you feel better today?"
"I'm much better now. My tendons and veins have been unblocked. Thank you for your concern, Dean."
The dean nodded, and the pharmacy elder took out a compass and placed it in front of Yun Yuan.
"This is the compass used to measure talent in Xuan Qi cultivation. I believe you already know this," the dean said solemnly. "This was an oversight on the part of our Xuanwu Academy. As long as you have even a little talent, we will spare no effort to compensate you and allow you to recover as much of your cultivation as possible."
Yun Yuan pursed her lips, seemed a little nervous, and placed her hand on the compass.
The compass didn't react at all.
The huge medicine pavilion was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and countless regretful and regretful eyes fell on Yun Yuan.
Everyone felt bad when seeing a genius turned into a loser. At the same time, they once again realized the horror of the secret method of changing talents.
"This Feng Aotian!" Yun Yuan's mentor Mu Qing slammed the table angrily.
Yun Yuan's eyes instantly filled with tears, and Mu Qing felt distressed.
He has no children. After being with Yun Yuan for so many years, he has long regarded her as his own daughter. Yun Yuan was originally his favorite student, but now she has been ruined by the scum Feng Aotian.
He wanted to cut her into pieces to relieve his hatred.
"Don't be sad, teacher will definitely catch Feng Aotian and make her confess in front of you." Then he killed her with a knife.
"I'm fine." Yun Yuan raised her head and forced a smile: "Maybe this is my fate. I just hope you gentlemen won't chase me away. I want to continue staying in Xuanwu Academy."
"I won't chase you away." The dean took out a ring and gently lifted it with profound energy, causing it to float in front of Yun Yuan. "Your misfortune occurred at the academy, so the academy will compensate you with some cultivation resources and profound crystal coins. I hope this will be of some use to you. Keep it."
Yun Yuan did not refuse and tacitly accepted the college's handling of the matter.
The pharmacist took out the medicine residue for everyone to identify.
"I was very surprised that day. Long Aotian used so many rare herbs, but even if she didn't clear all the blocked meridians, there wouldn't be no reaction at all. It turns out that she mixed the roots of the ghost vine into her herbs."
He took out a long object and showed it to everyone: "Ghost vines usually grow in dark forests. Their medicinal properties are extremely overbearing, which just happens to clash with the medicinal properties of other herbs."
Everyone frowned and nodded: "Where did Feng Aotian find the rhizome of the ghost vine?"
The pharmacist said, "The leaves of the ghost vine are silver, very similar to the silver leaf vine. The difference is that one has fuzz and the other does not. Herbalists generally don't make such a mistake. I guess Feng Aotian picked them himself."
Mu Qing said, "The surrounding area is all Xuanwu Academy territory. We haven't explored the depths of the Sunset Forest, except for that area. Could it be that Feng Aotian went there to collect the herbs?"
"The student has something to say." Yun Yuan suddenly spoke.
Mu Qing gestured for her to say.
Yun Yuan said, "On the day my talent was changed, I vaguely heard Feng Aotian talking to someone. The voice came from her ring. She called that person "Old Du". She changed my talent step by step according to Old Du's guidance."
"Is there such a thing?" the dean asked seriously, "What else do you know?"
Yun Yuan shook her head. "I couldn't move at the time, and my consciousness was in and out. I don't know much about other things. Oh, and I also heard that Elder Du asked Feng Aotian to get a lot of things from the mainland to strengthen the residual soul."
"It seems that the person who took Feng Aotian away was Du Yang." The dean said, "It was this ghost vine. With Du Yang here, Feng Aotian shouldn't have picked the wrong herb."
The pharmacist said, "The Ghost Vine's medicinal effects are powerful. In addition to counteracting the medicinal properties of other herbs, it can also increase the body's affinity for dark energy while weakening one's own soul strength."
Yun Yuan's body trembled. "Elder, are you saying that Du Yang is looking for a host body for him?"
The Elder of Pharmacy: "It's not certain yet, but it's very likely."
Mu Qing asked doubtfully, "Du Yang is a man, why would he take over a woman's body?"
The dean coughed lightly and said, "There are unofficial records that Du Yang likes men, especially... the lower kind."
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this, and they looked at the dean differently, all marveling at his wide reading.
"In this case, Du Yang's purpose is very clear. Now the first task is to go to Sunset Forest and find Feng Aotian."
"The Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms has gone to look for him. Feng Aotian can't hide for long."
The dean nodded. He was very confident in the strength of the three princes. The academy also sent the Law Enforcement Hall and several elders out to siege from all sides. He believed that Feng Aotian could be found in a few days.
……………………
After leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Yun Yuan used a teleportation talisman and appeared under the cave where Feng Aotian was hiding.
After working tirelessly day and night, Feng Aotian made two human skin masks, one based on Ji Yin's face, and the other based on his own face.
After the last step was completed, Feng Aotian put the human skin mask of his own face on Ji Yin's face, ignored her fear and despair, and threw her out of the cave.
Watching Ji Yin's body disappear in the clouds on the mountainside, Feng Aotian curled his lips in satisfaction. If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Feng Aotian is dead, and now I am Ji Yin.
