Alchemy Department In the hall, Jiang Donghua paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking up at the door from time to time, his brows furrowed.
"Why hasn't Master come yet?"
He always felt uncomfortable today, always feeling like there was a pair of cold eyes peering at him from the dark, but every time he looked back, he couldn't see anything.
"This feeling of being stared at is really unpleasant!"
Just as he scratched his hair irritably, the door of the Alchemy Department was finally pushed open, and a familiar figure stepped in.
Elder Mo Xuan!
Jiang Donghua's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Master!"
Mo Xuan was lowering his head and thinking about something. When he heard the voice and looked up, he was stunned.
"Huh? Why is this brat here?"
You know, when Jiang Donghua has nothing to do, he either huddles in the alchemy room tinkering with elixirs, or wanders to Scripture Depository to read books, and rarely wanders around the hall.
"The sun will rise in the west today?"
Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked Jiang Donghua up and down, and found that something was wrong with this kid's expression. His eyes were erratic, as if he was wary of something?
"You brat, what are you doing hanging around here?"
Mo Xuan asked with a frown.
Jiang Donghua looked around and lowered his voice.
"Master, let's go to a place where no one is around to talk."
Mo Xuan.
"...?"
A question mark on his face.
But looking at his apprentice's mysterious look, Mo Xuan still shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, who asked me to pamper you?"
He waved his hand, motioning for Jiang Donghua to follow, and then led him straight to the top of the Alchemy Department.
Alchemy Department The top floor is the exclusive area for the elders, and ordinary students cannot enter at all on weekdays.
Mo Xuan took Jiang Donghua into a secret room and casually set up a soundproof barrier.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Mo Xuan stood with arms folded, staring at Jiang Donghua.
"Why are you so sneaky today?"
Jiang Donghua took a deep breath and looked solemn.
"Master, I feel like someone is watching me."
Mo Xuan frowned.
"Spying on you? Who?"
Jiang Donghua shook his head.
"I don't know, but the feeling is very obvious. It's like there are eyes staring at me, but I can't find anyone when I look back."
Mo Xuan was silent for a moment, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Could it be someone from the Law Enforcement Department?
But it's not right!
Hasn't it been resolved?
He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Have you met anyone suspicious recently? Or, has anyone approached you deliberately?"
Jiang Donghua thought for a while and suddenly said.
"By the way! Today there was a Senior Brother Lin who came to me out of nowhere and asked me about the Disciplinary Hall. He also said, 'There has been a lot of trouble lately'!"
Mo Xuan's eyes turned cold.
"Senior Brother Lin? Alchemy Department's?"
Jiang Donghua nodded.
"Yes, it's the Lin Yue who doesn't show up very often."
Mo Xuan squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a moment, he suddenly sneered.
"It's interesting. It seems that some people can't sit still."
Jiang Donghua was stunned.
"Master, what do you know?"
Mo Xuan did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Dong Hua, do you believe in being a teacher?"
Jiang Donghua Without any hesitation.
"Of course!"
Mo Xuan nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Then, you follow my arrangements."
"First, don't act alone recently, especially at night. Try to stay in the Alchemy Department or my yard."
"Second, if that Lin Yue comes to you again, don't act abnormal, but don't reveal any information either."
"Third..."
Mo Xuan paused, took out a jade talisman from his arms, and handed it to Jiang Donghua.
"This is 'Soul Protection Jade'. It can withstand a soul attack. You should keep it close to you just in case."
Jiang Donghua took the jade talisman and felt the power Soul Force contained in it, and felt warm in his heart.
"Master really protects me as his own son!"
He grinned and joked deliberately.
"Master, this is a soundproof barrier and it's Soul Protection Jade. Is this really going to be a big trouble?"
Mo Xuan glared at him.
"You brat, stop talking so much! It's a matter of life and death, please be more serious!"
Jiang Donghua immediately stopped smiling and said seriously.
"Yes, Master!"
Mo Xuan sighed and softened his tone.
"Dong Hua, your talent is extremely high, but because of this, you are targeted by some people."
"Remember, until you are strong enough, keeping a low profile is the way to save your life."
Jiang Donghua nodded solemnly.
"I understand."
Meanwhile, somewhere in the shadows.
Black Robe stood respectfully behind Blood Fiend Son and said in a low voice.
"Sir, Jiang Donghua had a secret conversation with Mo Xuan for a long time, but my subordinates couldn't get close. I don't know what they said."
Blood Fiend Son smiled faintly.
"It's okay, it's expected."
He played with a wisp of blood Dou Qi with his fingertips, and a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"Mo Xuan, that old guy is very protective of his little one."
Lin Yue asked cautiously.
"What about our plan?"
Blood Fiend Son's eyes are deep.
"Proceed as originally planned."
"Since Jiang Donghua has been 'cleared' of suspicion by the Disciplinary Hall, then he can be used as our 'smoke bomb'."
"As for Mo Xuan..."
He sneered.
"If he dares to get in the way, then wipe him out too!"
"Dou Wang is a useless person who only knows how to make medicine. It only takes ten moves to kill him."
Lin Yue trembled all over and quickly lowered his head.
"Yes!"
After listening to my apprentice talk about how he felt last night.
Mo Xuan's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"I see, no wonder those old diehards Disciplinary Hall are targeting Dong Hua."
"This is someone deliberately throwing dirty water and trying to use my apprentice as a scapegoat!"
He snorted coldly and tapped his fingers on the table, his thoughts racing.
"Who is that guy hiding in the dark?"
"Lin Yue, this guy suddenly appeared, it's really suspicious."
Thinking of this, Mo Xuan stood up, tossed his sleeves and robe, and strode out the door.
"We have to find that old woman Bing Hong!"
Although the two of them usually fight each other when they meet, when it comes to finding out the culprits and catching traitors, no one in the Jia Nan Academy is better than Bing Hong.
"Bang!"
Mo Xuan kicked open Ice Crystal Pavilion's door, frightening several Disciplinary Hall disciples who were sorting out the files to tremble.
"Bing Hong! Come out!"
The cold air in the pavilion suddenly rose, and a cold voice came from the depths,
"Mo Xuan, are you looking for death?"
Bing Hong's figure slowly emerged, with silver hair like frost, eyes like knives, and a sharp ice crystal had condensed on his fingertips, ready to shoot through Mo Xuan's forehead at any time.
Mo Xuan went straight to the point without changing his expression.
"Old woman, it's not convenient to talk here."
Bing Hong frowned.
"What?"
"You come with me!"
"I hope something normal comes out of your mouth."
Walking inside, the two of them waved their hands, and the soundproof barrier came out.
Mo Xuan sneered.
"Someone wants to use my apprentice as a scapegoat to draw Disciplinary Hall's attention."
Bing Hong's eyes flashed coldly.
"Evidence?"
Mo Xuan.
"Lin Yue of the Alchemy Department has been in frequent contact with Dong Hua recently, and even tested Disciplinary Hall."
Bing Hong was silent for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and spoke in a dangerous tone.
"Mo Xuan, don't you want to take revenge on me?"
Mo Xuan was stunned.
"What?"
Bing Hong The ice crystals on the fingertips slowly rotated, and the sound was cold to the bone.
"I checked your apprentice, and now you doubt my apprentice?"
"What on earth do you mean?!"
Only then did Mo Xuan react.
Lin Yue is the registered disciple of Bing Hong!
"Wait!"
Mo Xuan quickly raised his hand.
"I forgot that Lin Yue is yours!"
Bing Hong didn't listen at all, and the ice crystals shot towards Mo Xuan's face!
"Qiang!"
Mo Xuan A wisp of Azure Flame popped out of his sleeve, instantly evaporating the ice crystals and making his beard stand up in anger.
"Crazy woman! Can you please listen to what I have to say?!"
Bing Hong sneered.
"Okay, you say."
Mo Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
"Lin Yue has been acting strangely recently, and Dong Hua is being targeted. The timing is too coincidental."
"I don't care whose apprentice he is, as long as there is a problem, we have to investigate!"
Bing Hong stared at Mo Xuan for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the inner room, leaving behind a sentence.
"Follow me."
Bing Hong took out a dossier from the hidden compartment and threw it on the table.
"See for yourself."
Mo Xuan opened the file and his pupils suddenly shrank.
[Lin Yue, disappeared for three days while performing the mission Outer Court six months ago. After returning, his cultivation level increased suddenly and his personality changed slightly.]
[After investigation, the fluctuation of his soul was abnormal, and it was suspected that it was interfered by external forces...]
Mo Xuan looked up suddenly.
"You have suspected him for a long time?"
Bing Hong said coldly.
"It's not just him."
With a tap of her fingertips, the file turned automatically, revealing another list.
[List of disciples who have recently behaved abnormally]
Lin Yue(Alchemy Department)
Zhao Han(Disciplinary Hall)
Zhou Yan(Combat Skill Pavilion)
Mo Xuan took a deep breath.
"So many people?!"
Bing Hong has an expressionless face.
"The infiltration of the Blood Demon Sect is more serious than we thought."
She looked at Mo Xuan, her tone unusually solemn.
"Your apprentice is probably just a pawn to divert their attention."
Mo Xuan's fists clenched loudly.
"What a bunch of bastards!"
Bing Hong suddenly added.
"However, Lin Yue may not be the mastermind."
Mo Xuan frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Bing Hong The cold air condensed on his fingertips, and a vague blood-robed figure was outlined in the air.
"I suspect that the real 'Blood Fiend Son' has already infiltrated the higher-ups of the college."
