C23 (1/2)

The morning bell rang, and the twilight beat the drum.

The unique sound spread far and wide throughout the Kunlun Mountains.

Situ mysteriously held tightly onto Mu Yun's arm. Now that the sky had darkened, he and Mu Yunyun were walking in the garden behind the main hall.

This was the only passageway that connected the tallest hall to the tallest hall. They were lying in ambush here. If that legendary person really appeared, they would definitely discover him.

Originally, Mu Wanyun didn't have such a strong curiosity, but when she heard from Situ Qing that the cultivation and ability of the mysterious principal of Karakorum wasn't inferior to that old lunatic, she was tempted.

When the old lunatic was still conscious, she asked this continent who had the strongest cultivation ability.

At that time, the old lunatic said, ”Cultivation is the strongest, because cultivation is limitless, and others will not easily reveal their bottom line. If one wants to differentiate between the strong and the weak, the only way is the speed at which one's cultivation increases, as well as their potential in the future. In this area, I have two candidates. ”

”Who are they? ”Is he better than you?”

”They are not as good as me now, but they have the ability at such a young age. In the future, they will definitely be above me.”

These two people were more or less related to Kunlun Academy. One of them was Kunlun Academy's Yao Ye, and this person was also confirmed by Mu Wan Yun. That person should be Jin Lie. As for the other person, the old madman didn't say it clearly. However, from the looks of it, Mu Wanyun suspected that that person to be the principal of Kunlun Academy, Yao Ming.

The night wind was blowing, the stars were shining, and even the crickets in the grass were tired.

They were hiding here, and the mosquitoes were biting them. However, they didn't even see a shadow of a ghost.

Slowly, Situ lost his patience. ”Big Brother Mu Jun, do you think the person who delivered the food was trying to trick me?”

”What do you think?” If it was that easy to see the other party's appearance, then why would this principal of Karakorum be so mysterious?

”I'm covered with bags. Why don't we go back?”

”You can go back first, I'll take a look.”

Situ gave a big yawn and just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly caught by Mu Yunji.

She put her index finger to her lips and made a silencing motion.

The sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance. Although it was very soft, it was still very easy to detect in the middle of the night.

A person slowly walked in from above, wearing a gray, loose robe. He had seen this person before, when the main hall was inspecting the divine beast division.

Mu Wan still remembered that during the day, when he saw the scene that he'd captured, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, she still saw it.

For a moment she thought of the man in the black robe she had seen in the forest. There was a flash of purple in his robe, a purple she had seen in the clouds in the sky.

She was suspecting something!

The grey-robed elder seemed to be carrying something. He muttered to himself, ”You got it yourself, yet you want me to clean it up for you. Seriously, you're not going to let go of my old bones at all.”

Through the gaps in the grass, Mu Huayun saw that the two strange beasts that the grey-robed elder was carrying were the same ones that they had caught earlier.

All the strange beasts that they captured were immediately returned to the forest. Whoever caught them had to personally place them back in place. However, Mu Yun only found out about this afterwards.

However, only she and Situ Qing's Qi Beast were taken away by someone. They were currently in the arms of the gray-robed old man.

Situ gave a surprised look.

”Who is it!”

Even though Mu Wan had covered Situ's mouth at the first moment, it was still exposed.

The grey-robed elder's gaze darkened as his wide sleeves unintentionally brushed against a powerful aura.

After aiming at their hiding place, Mu Yun and Situ could only come out.

”Vice Principal.” Situ was fast and nimble. He had already made clear of the academy's connections and immediately revealed the identity of the person who had arrived.

Previously, she thought he was the manager here.

Situ pulled on her sleeve and said, ”Call for help.”

Mu Huanyun also followed Situ Qing's example and bowed.

The gray-robed elder's sharp gaze wandered over the two of them for a long time.

”Why are you guys here in the middle of the night? Don't you know the rules here? You are not allowed to go out after dark! ”

His harsh words caused Situ's heart to tighten.

”I'm sorry, we don't know. We'll go back now. I beg the Vice Principal to forgive me. ” He grabbed Mu Yun's hand and dragged him away.

”Come back!” The gray-robed elder called out to them.

”Who asked you to call me Vice President?”

Situ looked a bit embarrassed as he stared at Situ Bu Fang.

Mu Wan Yun lowered his voice, ”Situ is still young, please do not blame him. We've only just arrived, so we don't know anything about it. Please do not hesitate to instruct us. ”

The gray-robed elder was just about to speak when he glanced over. His hand moved like lightning as he suddenly attacked next to Mu Wan's ear.

Mu Wan could feel his attack, but under the pressure of an expert, she was unable to counterattack even if she tried her best to sense it.

More importantly, although the palm strike from the gray-robed old man was sharp, she didn't feel any killing intent.

The attack was aimed at Mu Wan's left cheek.

A gust of wind blew past, and something suddenly appeared in the grey-robed elder's hand.

When he withdrew his hand, Mu Wan saw that it was a steel needle the size of a little finger.
