328 That Aura Has Awakened (2/2)
Ning Que walked against the cold wind of Tuyang City. He noticed that his strength was now significantly stronger, and his senses were also much sharper than before. He could clearly feel the rhythm of his body as he walked. The force that was passed through his shoes whenever he stepped on the ground resonated back like drum beats. The skin on his body that was exposed outside of his clothes could even feel the faintest traces of the gentle wind that blew past.
The transformation his body had gone through due to the Great Spirit happened in a very short time. This indescribable feeling of power gave him a strong desire to prove himself. At the same time, all the piled up thoughts and feelings of regret he had under the tree also turned into a kind of uncontrollable impulse.
His current strong urge to destroy everything in his way strongly conflicted with the previous sense of responsibility that he had as a disciple of the back of the mountain of the Academy. Hence, he was still unable to come to a final decision of whether he should carry through with his revenge. It wasn't until he arrived had in front of the mansion in the north side of the city did his clear and steady paces finally calm him down. He understood what he needed to do.

In the deep Winter Courtyard of the General's Mansion.
Mo Shanshan looked at Eldest Brother who was behind the desk and whispered, ”Something wrong with Ning Que's mood.”
Eldest Brother put down the book in his hand and watched the young girl with a soft smile. He then comforted, ”What are you worrying about?”
Mo Shanshan said after a moment of silence, ”I think he's going to do something.”
Eldest Brother continued, ”He can do whatever he wants.”
Mo Shanshan looked at Eldest Brother and asked, ”Aren't you worried about him, Senior Brother?”
Eldest Brother said with affection, ”Most disciples of the Academy these years were only addicted people like me who only learned to cultivate or to study Taoism. Only Youngest Brother had desperately struggled in the mortal world since his childhood, so he was in some ways, the strongest person in the Academy. He has his way of judging on threats and dangers, and I trust his judgment.”
Mo Shanshan looked at him in the eyes and said seriously, ”Even if whatever he's planning on doing brings trouble to the Academy?”
After a moment of silence, Eldest Brother replied, ”The Academy is not as powerful as what Youngest Brother imagines. But I think Youngest Brother always has his reasons for doing things. As for things like opportunities, I also trust in his judgment.”

In the side alley of the mansion in the northern Tuyang City.
Ning Que stared at the tall grey mansion walls and decided to go in and have a look no matter what.
Just like what Eldest Brother had said, Ning Que was very vigilant to danger, and he also had a clear judgment on such things as opportunities. He rarely missed them.
Killing people in Tuyang City was like killing people in front of Xia Hou. It sounded a bit ridiculous.
Nevertheless, today was his best chance.
Because Xia Hou decided to retire today, he became an old man— an aged male lion would become lax in patrolling his own territory, and his wrath might also be easier to be resolved.
Ning Que walked to the gray mansion walls.
He bent his knees slightly.
The powerful Great Spirit in his body instantly poured into his legs.
A muffled sound was heard between the shoes and the ground, with an invisible airflow gushing out.
He bounced up 20 feet with ease and climbed over the tall wall.
He landed in a garden filled with withering flowers.
In front of the flower garden was a courtyard.
In the courtyard was a pine-wood chair where a person was sitting.
Xia Hou's most trusted military counselor, Gu Xi.
Gu Xi looked at Ning Que in the flower garden, and then said with emotion, ”I've been thinking whether or not I should kill you, and yet here you are.”
