Chapter 513: The Hidden Family 2
Ye Fei raised her eyebrows in confusion: "The crystal tokens for participating in the Cangzhou Grand Gathering have the clan totems of reclusive families, which means that this Cangzhou Grand Gathering is jointly organized by these two reclusive families... Since they are reclusive families, why would they suddenly appear in the world?"
Yu Muhan shook his head: "The dean hasn't explained this to us yet, but he said he'll explain it to us later."
Ye Fei fell silent; she had a feeling that things weren't so simple.
The fact that a reclusive family has suddenly chosen to break free from seclusion and is holding a grand gathering in Cangzhou suggests that something significant has happened.
Back in her dormitory, Ye Fei took out the crimson crystal tablet from her storage space, stroking the dark patterns on it with her fingertips, her gaze becoming somewhat deep.
As night fell, the dean summoned the seven of them together to the main hall of the academy.
Ye Fei and Li Yuan arrived together. When they entered the main hall, Huang Rongyu and Mu Jingshen had already been waiting there for quite some time.
"Dean, the flowers in your garden seem a little different from the ones before?" Ye Fei walked along the cobblestone path in the courtyard and noticed that the potted plants in the garden were not similar to those she had seen before.
It's as if it's been completely redesigned.
Upon hearing Ye Fei's words, the dean's face fell: "Just recently, all my flowers that I had planted so well were plucked by that bastard Cang Su!"
Ye Fei: "..."
Ye Fei: "Would the Grand Elder do such a thing?"
The dean scoffed, "He must be retaliating against me for making him water my garden and herb patch, which is why he ruined my little darlings!"
Ye Fei was speechless. The Grand Elder... is he the kind of person who is so vengeful?
The dean was still cursing and swearing, and Ye Fei could only try to appease him with a wry smile, while the "culprit," Li Yuan, stood leisurely to the side with his arms crossed, acting as if nothing had happened.
A short while later, Xie Qingui, Yun Fusang, and Yu Muhan also arrived at the main hall of the academy.
After the main hall door was closed, the dean cleared his throat and began to get down to business for the evening: "Activate the crystal tablets now."
The seven people took out their crystal tokens.
After a drop of blood was dripped on it, the blood spread upwards along the patterns on the dark design. Then, a blinding beam of blood-red light flew out of the crystal and disappeared into the foreheads of everyone present.
"The bond is complete. Now, each of your crystal tokens has been fully activated." The Dean gestured to Huang Rongyu, who then handed over her crystal token. The Dean took it, pointed to the dark patterns on it, and slowly said:
"Now I will introduce the Cangzhou Grand Event to you. First, let's start with the hidden patterns on the crystal tablet."
"As we all know, there are eight great families in the Eastern Continent. Excluding the Nan Yan family, which has been removed from the list, there are now only seven great families left. These seven great families have a high reputation and status in the Eastern Continent. Those who can win this honor for their families either have made great contributions to the country or have unfathomable strength behind them."
"But besides the seven great families, there are three other little-known, hidden families—"
The dean paused for a moment, then continued, "In the Duan family, every member is a born alchemist. There are only two types of spiritual roots in their clan: wood and fire. If any other type of spiritual root appears, they will be classified as an anomaly."
