Chapter 197 – Haunt Like A Ghost! (1/2)

Chapter 197: Haunt like a ghost!

“Li Muyang——” Yang Xiaohu again and again banged on the door, raising his voice as he spoke to him: “I know you're in there, I have important things to talk to you. If you don't open the door, I'll come in by myself.”

After a while, there was still no response.

Yang Xiaohu thought for a moment, before he raised his hand, and with a swish of his sleeve, the door gently swung open. The doors swung outward from the middle automatically.

Most of the students able to enter Starry Sky Academy were not weak, but their courtyards were built from ordinary stones and woods. If the occupants themselves does not set up some kind of prohibition spell in their courtyard to avoid others forcefully intruding or their secret techniques leaked, the courtyard itself and the small door can hardly block anyone of the Academy, let alone Yang Xiaohu, a teacher of Starry Sky. People at chancellors mansions are officials above the third rank; Starry Sky Academy's cleaners also know and cultivate a little bit of martial technique.

In order to prove his 'guiltless heart', Li Muyang did not set up any prohibition in his own little courtyard.

Of course, it was because he didn't know how to do so..

Unexpectedly, his lair was so easily broken through.

“I'm coming in. I'm really coming in.” As Yang Xiaohu shouted, he had already opened the wooden door. “You invited me in, don't say I my violated student's privacy——”

In order to show that he's honest and honourable, Yang Xiaohu did not close the door. Instead, he casually strolled into the courtyard.

He went into the courtyard, where no one was in sight. Only a few leaves floating in the air and the spotless lapis lazuli stone floor, which seemed as though it has just been swept, welcomed him.

“Li Muyang is very neat and tidy, the courtyard he lives at is much cleaner than that of other boys——”

Yang Xiaohu walked straight into the inner room. No one was in the living room, only a steaming cup of hot water on the table.

Yang Xiaohu tested the temperature of the cup. “He's still at home——”

Seeing the bedroom door was open, he walked in and found a huge wooden tub in the bedroom. This was the tub that Starry Sky Academy prepared for every student to bathe in. Of course, students were also allowed to use the outside pool.

The broken edges of the wooden tub was new and fresh, chunks of broken edges of wood scattered on the floor and sounds of gurgling sounded from inside the tub with bubbles accompanied by foam coming to the surface.

“Li Muyang——” Yang Xiaohu pulled his lips back into a smile, saying: “Li Muyang, don't hide, teacher has no time to play hide and seek with you. Come out, I have something important to discuss with you——”

Gurgle——

There was no movement in the house except the loud gurgling and bubbling sounds.

“Brat——” “臭小子——”

Yang Xiaohu became angry, rolling up his sleeve and plunging his hand deep into the tub of water.

He fumbled around the wooden tub, till his face adopted a pondering and puzzled look.

“Strange——” Yang Xiaohu pulled his arm out of the tub, watching the water stain vanish on his hand. “There seems to be a dangerous presence. Li Muyang, this kid, could something have happened to him?”

Yang Xiaohu searched the room and then returned to the courtyard.

His gaze swept back and forth over the courtyard before he dashed over to the edge of the cliff.

Far away in the distance, was boundless Nujiang.

The red water was monstrous, huge waves lifting to the sky, and for thousand and ten thousands years, rus.h.i.+ng toward a distant unknown home.

Yang Xiaohu was enjoying the magnificent scene of the endless surging of Nujiang, when he shook his head, saying: “Strange, Chu Xun clearly said Li Muyang is in the courtyard, where could he have gone in that short time? I'll ask again.”

Yang Xiaohu turned around, hastily went to investigate Li Muyang's whereabouts.

Broken Mountain stands tall over everything, rugged like a blade and tall enough to pierce the tops of clouds.

Its steep cliffs, high peaks and overhanging rocks, make it difficult even for apes and monkey to climb, and birds to cross.

Under the boulder where Yang Xiaohu just stood, a humanoid monster was climbing up.

Its eyes blood red, like the water of Nujiang.

Its huge claws deeply dug into a boulder, as though it was as easy as cutting tofu.

He held his breath, listening attentively and waiting for the sound of footsteps to leave——————
