Chapter 56 - Gu Qingyan's whereabouts

After Xiao Yu left the library with the two books, he went to a place in the back mountain of the academy where no one was present and sat down cross-legged to cultivate the sword in his hand.

Xiao Yu had a lot of experience in sword arts, so even though the mental cultivation method of the sword in his hand was hard to understand, Xiao Yu still managed to barely understand a few words.

Time slowly passed, and Xiao Yu's practice of the Sword in his palm became more and more mature.

After a long while, Xiao Yu panted and stopped, and gasped: ”This sword in the palm is truly not a normal sword technique. If one wanted to pull the longsword into the shape of a small needle and control it in the palm of one's hand, one had to ensure that the sword Qi did not leak out. This is indeed a very difficult process! ”

”If it was an ordinary swordsman, cultivating this sword in his hand without thinking would indeed easily cause his Qi to go berserk!”

Xiao Yu could not help but be impressed by the profoundness of the sword in his hand! He could sense that once he succeeded in comprehending the sword in his palm, his attainment in sword arts would definitely rise as well.

After resting for a while, Xiao Yu continued to practice the palm-sword in his hand. After countless of rehearsals, Xiao Yu finally stopped, and the corner of his mouth held a hint of a calm smile.

After that, Xiao Yu flipped open the and read through it bit by bit.

Xiao Yu practiced cultivation in this wasteland for half a day.

He liked the feeling of peace undisturbed.

When dusk approached, Xiao Yu got up and left: ”I haven't seen Teacher Gu Qingyan for a long time, I want to buy some fruits to visit Teacher Gu at her place.”

Ever since he returned from Western Lion City, Xiao Yu had been missing Gu Qingyan a lot. It was just that because the end of year assessment was near, Xiao Yu did not have the time to make a clone.

Now that the examinations for the Geoscience Institute and the Mortal Core were concluded, Xiao Yu should go and see Gu Qingyan.

Last time, Gu Qingyan had helped him block the Su Jianchen in the desolate mountain outside Western Lion City. From then until now, Xiao Yu had never seen her again. Especially after hearing that Gu Qingyan was no longer teaching in the Class 3 of Earth Talent, Xiao Yu had a nagging feeling that something was amiss.

Xiao Yu carried a few large bags of gifts, went to Gu Qingyan's residence and knocked on the door.

”Dong, dong, dong ~”

Xiao Yu knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response.

”Eh? Where did Teacher Gu go? ” Xiao Yu could not help but be curious as he pushed open the door and entered.

The yard was filled with weeds, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

Obviously, no one had lived here for a long time.

”This courtyard has been abandoned for a long time! Could it be that Teacher Gu never came back from the West Cold City? Are you in danger? ” Xiao Yu suddenly had a very bad premonition.

As he rushed into the room, he discovered that the furniture there was also covered in a thick layer of dust.

Xiao Yu's heart became even more unsettled. ”Could it be that Teacher Gu was really punished by the academy for dereliction of duty?”

For some reason, the wild clamor of Gu Ming before his death surfaced in Xiao Yu's mind. Gu Qingyan is a criminal, it's all because of you.

These words made Xiao Yu very uneasy.

Perhaps it was because of the howls of someone who was about to die.

Xiao Yu dejectedly left Gu Qingyan's courtyard and the first thing he did was to return to Geoscience Institute to find Li Shan. Li Shan saw that Xiao Yu had come in such a hurry, and was surprised: ”Xiao Yu, what urgent matter do you have for me?”

Xiao Yu asked: ”When did Teacher Gu Qingyan not teach?”

Li Shan pondered for a moment before replying, ”About a month ago.”

Xiao Yu said: ”Explain the specifics.”

Li Shan recalled one side and said: ”A month ago, Gu Qingyan went to Western Lion City with you. After that, Su Jianchen and the others all came back. After two days, Gu Qingyan also came back, and after Teacher Gu Qingyan came back, he was completely engrossed in her work, not thinking about food or food. This caused him to make a lot of mistakes in the teaching process and was dismissed by the Su Jianchen. The Elder's Courtyard could only helplessly announce that Gu Ming would be replacing Gu Qingyan in his teaching job. ”

Xiao Yu knew that the reason why Gu Qingyan could not think of a meal and could not think of anything else, the reason for her mistakes in the teaching was mostly because she was worried about herself day and night.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt extremely remorseful!

But what made Xiao Yu even more surprised was that Su Jianchen actually dared to punish Gu Qingyan, and even dared to remove her from the job?! Was this number one on the annual standings already so terrifying?

Pausing for a moment, Xiao Yu asked: ”Then do you know where Teacher Gu Qingyan went afterwards?”

Li Shan shook his head: ”After Teacher Gu Qingyan was dismissed, he no longer appeared in everyone's field of vision. I don't know where she went! ”

Xiao Yu slightly said: ”Alright, thank you.”

With that, Xiao Yu turned and left the Geoscience Institute. Most likely, only Feng Qingyun would know where Gu Qingyan went.

Feng Qingyun's residence.

When Xiao Yu rushed over, he only heard Gong Mengyao and Feng Qingyun chatting in the courtyard.

Xiao Yu, who could not wait to ask Feng Qingyun where he was, also stopped.
