Chapter 677: Killing is the Best Policy
When they came to attend the grand event in Cangzhou, they were escorted by a special guard.
However, on the return journey, the guards would no longer escort them, so the leaders of each group had to personally take charge.
The dean summoned his contracted beast, a large serpent with a green hue as blue as jade.
It turns out that the dean's contracted beast usually hides in his sideburns—the contracted beast transforms into the blue hairband used to tie his hair.
"Come on up, everyone." The dean waved to everyone with a smile. "Don't worry, my little Emerald has a very good temper and won't bite anyone."
The giant snake, as if to appease the dean, flicked its scarlet tongue and hissed, then looked at the seven people with great kindness.
As Ye Fei mounted the giant snake, a familiar voice rang out. She looked down and saw it was Tang Qian.
"Ye Fei!" Tang Qian waved her hand high, her face filled with excitement and anticipation, and shouted, "Five days from now, I will be waiting for your arrival at the Tang family mansion in Xingluo Kingdom!"
"Remember to come! My family and I will definitely be waiting for you!"
Ye Fei was both amused and exasperated, giving her an "I understand" look. At the dean's command, the giant snake slowly coiled up and soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
Tang Qian stood at the entrance of the Divine Wind Palace, watching the large, emerald-green snake gradually disappear into the distance, and let out a soft breath.
That's great! She should hurry home and tell her second and third cousins.
Just as Tang Qian was about to turn and leave, she caught a glimpse of two black figures walking out of the Divine Wind Palace out of the corner of her eye—it was the First Elder and the Second Elder of the Ming Clan.
The two men had serious expressions, as if they were about to discuss something.
Tang Qian subconsciously turned around and slipped into a clump of bushes nearby, which perfectly concealed her from being discovered.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Qian heard the Grand Elder of the Ming Clan say coldly in a voice she could hear: "That brat named Li spoke rudely, was arrogant and domineering, and even insulted my Ming Clan!"
"Second brother, go investigate his background! If you can find out, follow the clues to find out about his family; if you can't find out..."
No further words were spoken—because the Grand Elder of the Ming Clan simply raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture, the meaning of which was self-evident!
"Okay, I understand."
The two elders whispered about something else, and Tang Qian huddled in the bushes until their footsteps faded into the distance before she carefully stood up.
Recalling what Elder Ming had just said, Tang Qian narrowed her eyes.
She remembered that Li was the young man in black robes who often stood next to Ye Fei.
She just didn't understand what Li had done to offend the Ming clan, to the point that the Ming clan had even ordered him to be eliminated.
Perhaps, when she meets Ye Fei in five days, she should tell her about this.
...
In the evening, the Night Scarlet Squad finally returned safely to Lingfeng Academy.
The giant snake quickly transformed back into a blue ribbon. The dean tied the ribbon around his temples and then said to everyone, "After coming out of the Eight Desolate Divine Realm, you should all feel weak all over. Rest for a few days before continuing the next stage of cultivation. Do not rush things, understand?"
After giving a long, motherly lecture, the dean left, and Ye Fei told her teammates to go back to their dormitories to rest.
"I'll go to Tianji Pavilion first." Li Yuan patted Ye Fei's head, his eyes gentle. "You should go back and rest too. I'll come find you later."
