C129 Back to college (1/2)
After handing the written letter to Liu Mubai, Qin Shaojie directly walked toward the Holy Flame Academy.
Since he had chosen to be involved in this mess, he had to be clear about some things. Perhaps Zhou Tian wouldn't tell others, but he would at least tell himself.
They hurriedly rushed to the Holy Flame Academy, and everything was as Liu Mubai had said. This place was truly very quiet, other than seeing if it was a teacher or not, it was practically impossible to see the students of the academy. The hustle and bustle of the past was in stark contrast to the silence of the present.
Once inside the Holy Flame Academy, Qin Shaojie also went straight to the Sacred Heart Lake. No matter what, in name, Su Baichen was his own mentor and some rules could not be broken.
”Even the Su Lao doesn't know what happened?”
In the middle of the Sacred Heart Lake, Su Baichen's expression was also extremely heavy. Something so big had happened in the Holy Flame Academy, even he did not know what had happened, everything seemed to have happened suddenly, and no one knew what had happened to Zhou Tian. However, even if there were many teachers who were against it, it would be useless even if some of the Supreme Elders who were in closed-door cultivation were to come out.
Zhou Tian seemed to have made an absolute decision, there was no way to refute him. Most importantly, what had happened had already happened. Furthermore, he had informed the Great Yan Dynasty, and even the assembly order had been spread out. It was too late to go back on his words now.
”This time, there seems to be a big problem with the Holy Flame Academy, but no one is clear about the specifics, the only person who might know is Zhou Tian himself.”
Sighing softly, no one would have thought that the Ancient Ruins would be the moment the Holy Flame Academy rose to prominence. But Su Baichen was very clear, even if the Ancient Ruins did not have any effect, with so many people rushing into the Holy Flame Academy, how could he guarantee the secrets of the Heaven and Earth profound veins?
At that time, not to mention the fact that the s of the ancient ruins would not get any benefits, even the profound veins that had been hidden for a long time would be exposed.
”The current situation of the Sunburn Tree is getting worse as well. According to this trend, it would take at most a year, or even half a year, for it to be unable to hold on any longer.”
When he said till here, Su Lao's voice was also extremely low. This kind of situation was what he didn't want to see the most. Without the ancient ruins, Holy Flame Academy could still move forward slowly along the way. But without the profound veins, Holy Flame Academy had no foundation, no future.
With regards to the Sunburn Tree, Qin Shaojie naturally knew that the current Su Lao had given his all, but the disappearance of the Sunburn Tree seemed to be irreparable. Let alone the Su Lao, even the even more powerful Tian Zhou would not be able to hold on for too long.
The Sunburn Tree could no longer be revived just by pouring life force into it. Without the Nightmare Aroma, the death of the Sunburn Tree was only a matter of time. Furthermore, when Qin Shaojie saw the Su Lao this time, he could clearly feel that the color of the entire person in the Su Lao was rather sluggish. This type of sluggishness was not only because of the weakness of their profound strength, but also because of the loss of vital energy and blood during this critical period. Obviously, the Su Lao had given some of his life force to the Sunburn Tree.
But unfortunately, the effect didn't seem to be obvious.
Qin Shaojie was very clear of all of this, but in the end, he only sighed.
However, Qin Shaojie did not say much on this matter, as he was very clear that there were some things that did not need to be asked.
”You must find a way to enter the Ancient Ruins. You must also obtain that so-called Nightmare Aroma. No matter what, the Sunburn Tree cannot die in my hands, if not, even if I die, I will be ashamed of my ancestors in Holy Flame Academy. ”
After saying that, the Su Lao's voice became choked with sobs. He had protected the Sunburn Tree for so many years, and had long merged himself and the Sunburn Tree into one. With the Sunburn Tree present, the Sunburn Tree's demise would be his moment of death. This was also why even thoughhe knew that his own life force was useless against Sunburn Tree, she had still persisted till now.
”This disciple will definitely think of a way to obtain the Nightmare Aroma and revive the Sunburn Tree.”
After taking in a deep breath, Qin Shaojie spoke in an extremely serious tone as well. There was not the slightest hint of relief in his words. Instead, he was very serious. As long as he entered the ancient ruins, as long as the Nightmare Aroma was inside, he would definitely be able to find it.
As for whether or not the matter with the profound veins would be exposed, the current Qin Shaojie did not care about that much. Some things, before reaching that stage, were simply unclear about what was going to happen.
”You're here.”
Deep within the back mountains of Holy Flame Academy, Zhou Tian did not turn around. Instead, he slowly spoke with his hands behind his back.
His voice did not have much of a fluctuation, and was as calm as if nothing had happened recently. Only, within this seemingly ordinary tone, Qin Shaojie could hear traces of loneliness and loneliness.
This time, Qin Shaojie's appearance was not obstructed by anyone, it was obvious that he did not lack strong experts, but because Zhou Tian had already instructed him, and he was waiting for Qin Shaojie here.
”Principal Zhou Tian.”
With both hands cupped together, Qin Shaojie slightly bowed to Zhou Tian. No matter why Zhou Tian had made that decision, Qin Shaojie knew clearly that Zhou Tian's real goal was the Holy Flame Academy. If he had his own selfish thoughts, he wouldn't have created the Holy Flame Academy into such a prosperous place.
”I already knew that you would help me, but like you said, this is your condition. So, tell me your decision right now.”
