Chapter 2055: Scheming For Study Room (1/2)

Li Qiye was notorious today. Everyone knew and feared him in the entire academy.

Prior to this, the three could look down on him but this was no longer the case. Even emperors gave him face, let alone students like them. Furthermore, they were also afraid of getting caught.

“Teacher, we, we chased a bunch of monster ants here.” Rumination stammered.

Of course, this was only an excuse. Rumination could control beasts so after coming across these ants, they thought that heaven was helping them since they needed a reason to enter Study Room.

He made the ants run here and drill into the ground. That would give them a legitimate reason to start digging.

Gu Qiheng believed that this treasure was buried underground but he didn’t know the exact coordinates, only a general direction which he told the kids.

In fact, he wasn’t sure of the treasure’s details. He simply had news that there was an incredible treasure in Study Room but the person didn’t tell him what it was. Nevertheless, it could be considered the very foundation of the academy.

The sect was immensely powerful so imagine that a single treasure was its true foundation? It would be worthy of all risks.

This was the reason why he decided to stay at the academy after graduation since he wanted this treasure. Alas, he has searched Study Room before to no avail so there was no other choice but to dig up the ground.

Normally, this would invoke the attention of the ancestors - he wouldn’t want to be poking at a beehive.

But now, the chaos allowed his group to have a deep search. He hoped that he would find some clues to the location of the treasure.

“Chasing monster ants, huh?” Li Qiye chuckled at them.

“Yes.” Freesky hurriedly said: “Teacher, they’re underground now and might be a problem later on if we don’t take them out.”

Li Qiye nodded: “Very brave but this is just a small matter. I’ll destroy them, you all can patrol in other places since the academy is quite large.”

The three didn’t expect this from Li Qiye so they had no idea what to say. They came for the treasure so they weren’t willing to leave so easily.

“Teacher, there are a lot of ants, we are willing to stay and help you.” Rumination came up with this.

How could they let their goal escape just like that? This was their best chance because everyone else was busy fighting outside. Li Qiye was the only one in Study Room right now.

After obtaining this treasure, they just needed to give it to their monarchs and they would become meritable contributors of their sects on top of gaining the monarchs’ favor. At that point, their potential was limitless and could do whatever they wanted.

“They’re just ants, too easy to kill, no need to bother. Go now.” Li Qiye gently waved his sleeve.

The group was at a loss again but still, giving up was impossible. They had Qiheng backing them up and many other emperors. This was a once in a thousand years opportunity to make something of themselves!
