Chapter 1686 - 1001: News

"If the Salamander is really dead, then you are the leader. If the battle resumes, Yan Buyu will be dragged into it again... you won’t do that."

"If the Salamander is not dead yet, you need to help him. Right now, you could attack me, even if you can’t completely destroy me, you could at least cripple my foundation. But you haven’t."

"In the future, the only possibility of a battle between us would be if another irresistible force emerges, and you choose to stand by its side."

Another irresistible force?

Xue Piao Ling’s eyes darkened, but soon returned to calm.

"As for Green Bean"

"Whether she can come to your side depends on her own choice...."

Xue Piao Ling leaned slightly to the side, curled her lips: "You seem to trust me a lot... aren’t you afraid I’ll teach her to become your enemy... the Insect Clan, especially the Tai Yuan Ancestor Worm line... once she truly awakens, her racial instinct will suppress all emotions, even if she still calls you sister now."

"Trust?" Sui Yi glanced at her, his lips curled too.

"Isn’t seeing me in the deep night with disheveled clothes also trust?"

Xue Piao Ling looked down at her own robe, loose indeed, exposing some.

But.....

"In the Witch Court there are countless beauties and Wizards, even with the Human Race’s number one beauty, Spirit Master, and Loulan’s unrivaled beauty across genders, not to mention Shen Zhiyue on high, even the High Priest remains unmoved... I dare not overestimate myself."

The same words were returned.

Sui Yi glanced at her.

"Whether you stay composed is my matter, but whether you let me see is yours."

After speaking, she left.

Xue Piao Ling narrowed her eyes.

After a while, a person walked out from the house.

Elegant and ethereal, leaning against the door.

"Seems like you never showed me this way before, Piaoling."

If Sui Yi were here, he would surely recognize this person.

It was Yan Buyu.

As for the current name.....

Xue Piao Ling gave her a look, said: "Been here in Dragon Ape World for days, yet unwilling to meet me even once, I thought you blame me for causing you harm back then.... but when someone came, you eagerly listened at the wall.... so... it’s just forgetting friends for beauty."

Saying, she went inside, shutting the door on this person.

This person was quite carefree, chuckling, lamenting to the moon: "My resentment with her is not just the disaster from careless words and the hatred of exterminated clans from back then"

Took that jug of wine, walked away in the wind and snow.

————————

Sui Yi went to the Beast Forest again, bringing treasures to Pu Qinghan, though in this Beast Forest, Sui Yi looked into the distance...

Vaguely visible at the far end of the Beast Forest, golden light flowed across the blue dome, like lightning and thunder.

"That’s the Golden Shine Administrative Region," Pu Qinghan explained, as he worked on a magic damage enhancement treasure, noticing Sui Yi looking in that direction.

"Half of the Beast Forest belongs to the Golden Shine Administrative Region, occasionally I see some Masters crossing from there, once I even came across two Cloudbursts hunting some Exotic Beasts.. after the hunt, they refined Essence Pearls on the spot...."

Those were Ape Faction people.

Sui Yi knew Pu Qinghan, though training in the Beast Forest, always used the Exotic Beasts for practice, healing them after injuring them, since they all belong to the Beast Clan, this method is common, whereas among the Human Race, there are few like Sui Yi and others, most humans see other races as prey, gaining mental satisfaction and cultivation progress from hunting them.

Of course, nature’s selection and survival of the fittest, Sui Yi never opposes the innate struggles between races but refining Essence Pearls is indeed excessive.

"The Ape Faction’s lineup is strong," Sui Yi, through recent insights into Thousand Buddha, Hawk, and Dawning, realized these forces are mostly closer to the Ape Faction.

This suggests the trend of Dragon Ape World is leaning toward the Ape Faction, though outwardly they seem similar.

"These two belong to the lineage of Golden Shine Ape, I heard them say their line is fully pursuing Exotic Beasts to refine Essence Pearls, using the shortcut of Essence Pearl cultivation to attract other neutral Masters and the younger generation of Dragon Ape World to join the Ape Faction, and one thing is very important."

Pu Qinghan furrowed his brow slightly, "The transit formation of Dragon Ape World is about to open, three months later, the transit entrances of the Four Major Administrative Regions will open, the rest of the Small Fragmented Jade World people will enter, the people coming, according to convention, at least a third will choose Dragon Ape World as their cultivation land, and another third will go to other Small Fragmented Jade Worlds.... of course, the remaining third will head to the Three Realms Origin and Dimensional Realm, which are oppositional, their entrances are always controlled on their side, their selection for entrants is very strict, especially the Dimensional Realm, hardly ever opened, and the Three Realms Origin hasn’t for many years...."

Pu Qinghan informed Sui Yi of the information he eavesdropped from these cultivators during this period, in culmination, when the transit gate opens in three months.... it’s the peak moment for Dragon Faction and Ape Faction.

Even if it doesn’t erupt in the strongest battle, there certainly will be small-scale wars.

"I will pass this news to Sansi, so Li Luo and the others can come early..."

If not for obtaining this batch of treasures, Sui Yi would recommend Gong Jiu and others decide whether to come after this potential war ends, but now.... she vaguely senses Dragon Ape World is a significant opportunity.

As a transit point, whether it’s Dimensional Realm, Three Realms Origin, or other Small Fragmented Jade Worlds, various races and forces might find a home here, or... resolve grievances.

After parting with Pu Qinghan, Sui Yi returned to the Ice Gleam Academy area,

Went to class the next day, hearing that the Ice Spirit Guard had rescued those cultivators, though the formation had been moved, based on the Puppet Person being recognized by many witnesses as the chief culprit, the target was openly locked onto Dawning, along with the Thousand Buddha uncovered by Chang Jun before, and the students of Ice Gleam Academy, because of this incident, are highly alert, most have returned to the academy to prevent being harmed.

However, this led to Sui Yi seeing many unfamiliar faces in class that day, of course, there were also some familiar ones.

When Sui Yi saw Yi and Green Bean sitting below, she paused for a moment, remained composed, and started teaching....

She seemed indifferent to the high caliber of today’s students, not only were there school beauties like Han Feigong and Seo Xinyan, but also top-notch school heartthrobs like Chang Jun. In fact, from Xu Mu’s perspective, he only noticed a very strange or astonishing phenomenon—the Chief Student arrived, at least ten of them.

Yet the issue is, Teacher Sui doesn’t recognize these Chief Students, even if she does, she doesn’t care.

The class proceeded normally; after all, it was a calligraphy class focused on practicing writing. Occasionally, Sui Yi would talk about the biographies and ancient stories related to these brush techniques or literature.

But... someone was looking for trouble.

"The teacher says that many poems express the poet’s inner thoughts and yearnings. Isn’t it because the teacher has such a longing in his heart for someone to pursue him, knowing all these poetic lines?"

The tone of this person was frivolous, and his gaze was equally frivolous. Anyone paying attention could detect the full malice in his words.

He even added: "Graceful and fair lady, a gentleman would pursue her, wouldn’t a beauty have the value of being pursued?"

These words made most of the women present uncomfortable, and the men, well, though they knew the words rang true to a man’s psychology, saying it so blatantly, especially to such a refined and elegant teacher, was... too much.

Far too much.

Xu Mu and Xu Xu looked over.

"It’s Meng Lang."

"It’s them again, that group..."

Meng Lang was also a chief student, accompanied by Zhao Guan and others, holding some power within the student body.

Someone like Xu Mu was nothing in comparison, as there were at least three chief students on the other side.

Just then...

Han Feigong and Seo Xinyan were about to speak.

"How do you know she isn’t liked by anyone?"

A cold, sharp voice like a knife.

Came from the corner.

Wanzi’s eyes lit up.

Everyone looked at the new student in the pharmacognosy department who had been in the spotlight these past days.

Yi, that was her name, as unique as she was.

"Oh, it’s the little newbie from pharmacognosy. What, you like her?"

Yi gazed quietly at Meng Lang, "Is that not allowed?"

Green Bean, who never liked these frivolous chief students, chimed in: "I like her too."

Their unequivocal stance stirred the whole classroom into a discomforted silence.

Meng Lang laughed heartily: "Well... birds of a feather flock together...."

This was a jab at Yi and Green Bean’s ordinary looks.

Green Bean got red in the face with anger, while Yi remained calm. Her gaze swept across the room, she crossed her long legs, and since she was sitting above, she looked down on the crowd below. She said nothing and simply took off the Ice Gleam Academy badge from her sleeve and tossed it down. Meng Lang caught it and squinted his eyes.

"Ice Gleam Academy’s principle is that disputes concerning honor and personal grievances may be settled through dueling..."

"You, want to duel me?"

"Do you think that just because you had Han Feigong and Seo Xinyan’s help the other night and luckily defeated a few Puppets, you can duel me, Meng Lang?"

The Meng Family had already offended Yi before and now clashed with Sui Yi reasonably. If Yi didn’t deal with them, it wouldn’t align with the typical behavior of an Assassin.

For such a justifiable duel, Sui Yi’s attitude was very indifferent.

"Go ahead, we’re almost done with class anyway."

Oh dear, sister, don’t you know the girl speaking up for you is facing a chief student?

Aren’t you worried?

After Yi walked out the door.

Sui Yi closed the book he had been reading and saw Meng Lang stand, while Zhao Guan and others remained seated.

She smiled.

"You all go out too."

Everyone thought Sui Yi was asking them to go out and watch. Zhao Guan glanced at her blankly, indeed led Han Dan and two other chief students out.

The platform outside was spacious and equipped with a demon sealing device, commonly used in the academy for fighting.

Everyone rushed out to watch.

Han Feigong crossed his arms, only seeing Mr. Sui holding a book in his palm as he walked out the door.

Someone asked her.

"Teacher, you and her...."

"We live together."

It’s not about liking or not; it’s about living together.

Then, an explosion sounded below, accompanied by a sharp and chilling murderous aura tearing through the air...

Many people called out.

Many people...

Many turned back to see the smile on the teacher’s face as she answered before stepping out.
