Chapter 398: Chapter 399: Breaking Through as a Low-level Mortal Alchemist (Seven)
“What’s the reason?” Qi Rong turned his head to look at Luo Yin, his voice turning colder.
Luo Yin suddenly froze, he couldn’t possibly tell her that the girl was the reincarnation of the Moon Venerate?
“Luo Yin, since you can’t provide a reason, then step aside. No matter what, I won’t allow someone who disrespects the Academy’s rules to get away with it!”
“No way!”
Seeing that Qi Rong was about to leave, Luo Yin panicked, his figure flashed as he hurriedly blocked her way, “That girl… that girl is the reincarnation of the Moon Venerate, you can’t touch her!”
As he spoke, he stealthily wiped the sweat from his forehead, after all, the ancestors had ordered them not to reveal her identity, but at this moment he couldn’t care about that anymore.
However, Luo Yin’s action of wiping his sweat seemed to Qi Rong like a sign of guilt.
“The reincarnation of Moon Venerate?” Qi Rong laughed coldly, “Luo Yin, even if you have to make up an excuse, you should come up with a better one. Who would believe such a reason? As it happens, I met a talented girl while I was out. She has a crescent moon mark on her arm just like the Moon Venerate. Only a few leaders from our Academy would know of this, and that crescent moon is very special, exactly like the one depicted in ancient books. I suspect she is the real reincarnation of the Moon Venerate.”
“Of course, that’s just one reason,” Qi Rong’s gaze shifted to Luo Yin, “Her memory isn’t very clear; she has only a few fragmented pieces, but she mentioned that a long, long time ago, some people referred to her as the Moon Venerate…”
Although there were many more reasons to prove her identity, there was no need to tell him.
Luo Yin was completely dumbfounded, “Master, that woman must be deceiving you. The girl I know is the real Moon Venerate, she…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Qi Rong frowned impatiently, “Do you think I am so easily fooled? I can tell you this because I have confirmed it several times. Moreover, she holds the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword in her hand. Apart from the Moon Venerate, who else could wield such a sword?”
“No, Master, I…”
“Enough, let’s not speak of the rest! Since that girl dares to violate the Academy’s regulations, she must be punished!”
With that, he no longer gave Luo Yin a chance to speak and turned to walk towards the door.
“Ah!” Luo Yin sighed heavily.
In his heart, he was absolutely certain that Mu Ruyue was the true Moon Venerate, but what was the deal with the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword? Why did it appear in that imposter’s hands?
…
The gentle breezes of March.
The spring wind brushed through a head of black hair, gliding over the exquisite features of a woman who slightly raised her head, gazing into the distance. Dressed in a blue gown, she floated gracefully in the spring breeze, exuding a noble and elegant demeanor.
The woman’s smile was warm and comfortable, much like the sea, giving off an exceptionally pleasant feeling.
What was even more stunning was that this woman had a pair of blue eyes that were enough to draw one in deeply.
Gradually, more and more people started to gather around, all looking at this unfamiliar woman and chattering amongst themselves, seemingly clueless about her identity and wondering why she was inside the Academy.
Suddenly, the woman’s eyes shifted, landing on the approaching elderly figure.
“Senior Qi Rong.”
She called out softly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze brushing against one’s cheek, causing the male disciples to become infatuated…
“Lan Yue, this is the Central State Academy. From now on, you’ll live here.”
Upon seeing the woman, Qi Rong, who was always stern-faced, actually revealed a smile, causing everyone to widen their eyes in shock as they looked on at the two…
