Chapter 351: Chapter 352: The Dean’s Shock (Part Three)
This time, he was absolutely determined not to let any tragedy occur, even if it meant staining the continent with blood!
At this moment, tens of thousands of miles away from the Central State Academy, upon a mountain peak, a man stood with his hands behind his back, his purple clothes fluttering lightly. The red spider lilies that adorned half of his face made him look ghost-like, but far from being peculiar, they blended with his aura, adding to his sinister and noble charm.
Around him seemed to blossom countless Red Spider Lilies, stunningly divine for a moment—enchanting enough to trap someone in an inescapable morass.
Clouds and mist circled as the man lifted his purple eyes, a flash of light crossing his gaze.
“Half a year has already passed, and I still haven’t found Muer’s whereabouts. Where in the world could she be? It’s about time; I need to return to the Academy.”
His lips slightly pursed, a vision of the woman’s stunning smile appeared before him—
Muer, where in the world are you?
Even if you are at the ends of the earth, at the Heavenly Sea, I will find you!
…
“Miss, you finally came out,” Shen Ran hurried out after hearing that the aura of the Book Collection Pavilion had disappeared. He saw Mu Ruyue approaching and felt a surge of joy, quickly going up to meet her, “Right, the Dean has asked to see you.”
“The Dean?” Mu Ruyue was startled, “What does he want with me?”
“I’m not sure; it’s probably related to the incident at the Book Collection Pavilion. You’ve really stirred up a storm with just one visit to the Pavilion. Come on, let’s go see the Dean. Actually, the Dean is not too bad, so you need not worry too much.”
Shen Ran glanced at Mu Ruyue, probably aware of the worry in her heart, and couldn’t help but comfort her.
“Remember, in the Central State Academy, the Dean holds the power. Moreover, he loves to hear flattery, so be sure to say some nice things and butter him up later. If you can charm the Dean, you’ll have free rein at the Academy.”
Shen Ran went on to say something else, but Mu Ruyue didn’t hear a single word, her hand subconsciously resting on her Space Ring.
No matter what, the Dan Book was an item of the Central State Academy. Could it be that the old man wanted to take it back?
At this moment, she thought of Little White, who had been alone for thousands of years, and her heart sank slightly. No matter what happened, no one could pry the Dan Book from her lips!
In the Dean Mansion, the Dean was carefully holding a plant that seemed to be withering, a pained expression in his eyes: “I don’t know what happened. My beloved Silver Leaf is wilting. This is a medicinal material that takes thousands of years to grow—such a pity, a real pity.”
A thousand years was an immensely long time even for cultivators, and thousand-year-old medicinal materials were priceless treasures. How could he not be distressed?
“Dean, Miss Yue has arrived,” said a voice from outside the door.
Just then, a voice came from outside.
The Dean gently put down his precious plant, heaving a heartfelt sigh, and turned his head to say, “Come in.”
“Yes, Dean,” came the reply.
As the words fell, an elder led a young girl in white into the Mansion. The girl was extremely beautiful; her features were so exquisitely crafted, with a prominent nose and an indifferent expression, and eyes as deep as night, like an unfathomable abyss.
“Oh, you’re here?” The Dean meticulously scrutinized the girl from top to bottom, not missing a single detail.
So she is the owner of the Dan Book? I wonder about her Talent…
