He definitely wouldn’t let that tragedy happen again, even if he had to bathe the world in blood!

  At this moment, a man stood on the summit of a mountain thousands of miles from the Central Region Academy, his purple robe fluttering in the wind. A demonic Red Lily Spider pattern covered half of his face. Yet, it didn’t seem strange but instead merged perfectly with his aura and enhanced his charming, noble appearance instead.

  Countless Red Spider Lilies seemed to bloom in his surroundings. He looked astonishing. His beauty could make people captivated by him indefinitely.

  Clouds were moving in his surroundings. A ray of light flashed past his purple eyes.

  “It has been half a year, but I still hadn’t find Mu Er’s location. I don’t know where she is! Now, it is about time so I must head back to the academy.”


  He pursed his lips as the image of that girl’s impeccable appearance entered his mind—


  ‘Mu Er, where are you?

  ‘I will find you even if I have to search every inch of this world!’


  “Little girl, you’re finally out.” When Song Ran felt the aura in the archive disappear, he hastily ran over. When he saw the approaching Mu Ru Yue, he was elated and quickly went to greet her. “Right, the dean requested for your audience.”


  “The dean?” Mu Ru Yue was startled as she asked, “Why is he looking for me?”


  “I’m not sure. It probably had something to do with what happened in the archive. Little girl, you only went to the archive and made such a commotion. Let’s go to meet Lord Dean. Actually, the dean is a really nice person so you won’t need to worry too much about meeting him.”


  When Song Ran glanced at Mu Ru Yue, he seemed to discover her unease and couldn’t help but try to calm her a bit.

  “That’s right, the one with the highest authority in the Central Region Academy is the dean. Moreover, he loves when people flatter him. You just have to say nice words to him. Once he is happy, you can do whatever you want in this Central Region Academy.”


  Mu Ru Yue didn’t listen to what Song Ran continued to say, but just placed her hand on her storage ring.

  No matter what, the Alchemy Book was a possession of the Central Region Academy. It couldn’t be that the old man wanted it back, right?

  At this instant, she thought about Xiao Bai who had been isolated for thousands of years. Her heart sunk slightly. Nobody would be able to snatch the Alchemy Book from her no matter what.

  The dean was carefully carrying a withering plant in the Dean’s manor. With heartache in his eyes, he lamented, “I don’t know why my most beloved Silver Leaf has withered. This is a medicinal plant that requires thousands of year to grow. It is a pity. It is such a pity.”


  A thousand years was a really long time even to cultivators. Moreover, a thousand-year medicinal plant was already a priceless treasure. How could his heart not ache?

  “Lord Dean, little girl Ru Yue has come.”


  At this time, a voice was heard from outside the door.

  The dean gently placed his beloved medicinal plant down and sighed in pity. He then turned his head and replied, “Come in.”


  “Understood, Lord Dean.”


  An old man brought in a young girl in white robe after saying those words. The young girl was incredibly pretty. Her appearance seemed to have been molded into being. She had a tall nose and a cold expression. Her eyes were as deep and dark as the night, similar to an abyss.

  “Oh, you have come?” The dean sized up the young girl that was at the entrance from her head to her feet without missing any part of her appearance.

  ‘She is the owner of the Alchemy Book? I wonder how her innate talent is…’
