Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Nalan Ye Jue paused, then continued: ”The path that Young Master Hai took leads to the dungeon where the Seventh Elder imprisoned his disciples.”

This news was too shocking.

As a result, Qin Xin couldn’t even bother questioning the man about hiding his identity earlier, and instead furrowed her brows: ”He imprisoned his disciples? What do you mean?”

Nalan Ye Jue pressed his lips together, the eyes behind his mask flickered slightly, as if pondering, telling her only part of the truth so as not to overly shock her worldview.

”He... chose disciples not to pass on cultivation techniques or to elevate their abilities, but to absorb their abilities for his own use.”

”So, for so many years, the most outstanding students selected by the Divine Academy never came out again after entering his manor.”

”There are rumors in the martial world that those disciples gained more noble status and greater mana, but in reality, they long became piles of white bones, puddles of blood.”

”You saw Young Master Hai’s fate, he uncovered the secret and was hunted down by the hawks and hounds he cultivated.”

”This is also why I stopped you from taking the first place on the stage. Do you understand?”

If he didn’t stop her

Qin Xin’s breath stalled for a moment.

The Seventh Elder had unspeakable secrets behind him, she had guessed there would be, but couldn’t guess the plot would go like this.

To exploit spiritual power and life under the guise of mentorship, such a mentor is too shameless, too terrifying and inhumane.

A person like that could sit in the position of the Twelve Elders for so many years, it shows how ridiculous the so-called rules of this world are.

Nalan Ye Jue pulled her other hand over, his tone deep and resolute: ”So you can’t go. The Seventh Elder is already watching you closely, he couldn’t take you as a disciple at the tournament today, he won’t give up easily, he’ll find another way.”

Qin Xin slowly withdrew her steps and stopped.

Nalan Ye Jue continued to persuade her: ”If you go now, you are just handing yourself over to him willingly. Then Young Master Hai’s sacrifice of his life to bring you this information would be in vain.”

Although he was reluctant to mention a rival in love, at this moment, to keep Qin Xin from leaving, the deceased Young Master Hai still deserved a name to be left.

Qin Xin pressed her lips together, hesitating without speaking.

Nalan Ye Jue knew although she appeared cold, she was actually a person who valued emotion and righteousness deeply.

Seeing Young Master Hai die for her, yet she couldn’t do anything, would leave her unwilling.

He said slowly: ”You heard Young Master Hai’s last words, his final hope was for you to leave. If you can’t leave, it would leave him restless in death. We don’t have much time left, we... will leave tonight.”

Qin Xin glanced at him.

You think it’s that easy to just leave?

Nalan Ye Jue: ”As far as I know, Time Mages have the ability to open the Time Gate. Didn’t Jing Chen promise you, as long as you want to leave, he is willing to do everything in his power to send you away?”

Qin Xin was slightly surprised: ”How do you know?”

The next second, she remembered.

When she and Jing Chen discussed this matter at the Jing Family Manor, Master Tuantuan was outside the door. Was it then he heard it?

Thinking of that time, she couldn’t help but recall how Master Jing Chen tied her and Master Tuantuan together and threw them onto a carriage as a prank.

That old mischief!

On the surface, he appears serious, but his actions are truly not! Serious!

Nalan Ye Jue shook his phone: ”Not only do I know, but I also contacted him just now. He has already begun preparations, agreeing for tonight at nine, in the small forest behind the Divine Academy, to open a Time Gate for us to leave.”

Nearby, convenient, and inconspicuous.
