Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 80 Peach Blossom Spring
September is particularly happy today.

As soon as Duan Mingyuan entered the room, he heard her humming a little tune in the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of sharpening a knife.

Hearing someone coming in, Jiu Yue took the initiative to shout, "Mr. Mingyuan, you're back. We have something delicious to eat today!"

After a while, he saw the delicious food that September mentioned.

A crane nearly one meter tall was entangled in a net and its mouth was tied with a rope. Its red eyes kept sending him signals for help.

"Look, what a big white-feathered chicken!"

In order to give this good friend who came from afar a happy death, Jiuyue has to adjust the kitchen knife to its sharpest state.

During this time, the friend seemed to have a lot to say, but Jiuyue felt that there was no need to say much between friends. After the meat was eaten, she would naturally know everything about her friend.

“This is a crane.”

Duan Mingyuan bent down to untie the rope wrapped around the crane's beak and corrected him.

"Crane is also a chicken, a subspecies of chicken."

Mr. Mingyuan's definition of evil spirits deeply inspired Jiu Yue. The definition of chicken, like evil spirits, is extremely broad. Anything flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, as long as it can be eaten, is a chicken.

"Help!"

The moment the rope was taken off, Xianhe spoke, and his tone sounded obviously panicked.

"Don't be nervous, she's just teasing you."

Duan Mingyuan said as he helped Xianhe untie the net and glared majestically at Jiuyue who was holding a kitchen knife with a look of reluctance on her face.

This crane is obviously a monster. According to his observation, most monsters are larger than other animals of the same type. Even if they are crowded together with a group of the same kind, they can be recognized at a glance, just like the elite monsters in the monster group in the game.

He didn't know how the food chain among monsters was divided, but he had to seriously discuss the issue of not allowing monsters to eat other monsters in the future with Jiu Yue.

As soon as it came out of the net, Xianhe staggered and hid behind Duan Mingyuan, leaving only its head exposed. It stared at Jiuyue in horror. The less than an hour they spent together had left her with a very serious psychological trauma towards monsters.

Duan Mingyuan had no choice but to take Xianhe to the living room and ordered Jiuyue to stay in the bedroom.

The crane stared at the closed bedroom door with lingering fear. It took a long while for it to recover. It took its beak to pick up an envelope from under its wings and personally handed it to Duan Mingyuan. It was written "Personally from Mr. Duan Mingyuan". "Mr. Duan Mingyuan, this is the invitation letter that the dean asked me to personally deliver to you."

"Invitation card?"

Duan Mingyuan checked the envelope. In addition to his name, "Yunhai Academy" was written in the lower right corner.

He had never heard of this place.

His hand reached out for the seal of the envelope, and the moment he opened it, the entire envelope suddenly came alive and broke free from his palm. What popped out of the envelope was not paper, but a vivid picture, an ink painting that outlined a world isolated from the world.

The guide was a silhouette of an old man, eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and thick arms. "Mr. Duan Mingyuan, when you opened this letter, you must have met Yunlin, the messenger of the academy. She is the messenger of the academy. We have heard about your deeds and the current situation of Yunlong City. The academy has been looking for people like you to protect these precious knowledge passed down by the ancients. If you are interested, Miss Yunlin will explain more about the academy to you."

The ink painting kept changing. Following the guide along the narrow path, they moved forward. When the surroundings suddenly became clear, they were already standing at the foot of a high mountain. Looking up, they saw the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, with ancient buildings looming in it. It seemed that if they followed the winding mountain road ahead, they would reach the pavilion on the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds.

"This is Qingchi Peak. Only those who are invited by the academy can see it."

Yun Lin's tone also softened, returning to her usual cold state. "Yunhai Academy is located on Qingchi Peak. It is a place isolated from the world. Even Huanyu Company does not know its location."

This trip to Yunlong City is different from previous recruitments. In addition to several students, they also have to recruit a teacher.

The dean entrusted this important task to her, hoping that she would judge whether Duan Mingyuan was worthy of the academy's trust.

Although Yunlin's first impression of Jiu Yue was extremely bad, up to now, Duan Mingyuan's performance was impeccable. He was kind, steady, and reliable. And the dean said that Duan Mingyuan, like everyone else in the academy, was a person who pursued knowledge.

After showing Duan Mingyuan the outlines of Qingchi Peak and Yunhai Academy, the letter turned into drifting dust in mid-air.

This reminded him of a text he had learned in high school. The text was about a lost man who mistakenly entered a cave. The lost man walked forward along the cave, and after walking through the dark and narrow road, what appeared before his eyes was an isolated world.

He had also imagined that in a place unknown to people, there existed a group of people who had knowledge of evil, and now, one of their messengers came to him.

"You want to invite me to be your teacher?"

Duan Mingyuan asked, "So, how is the treatment?"

"The salary is 50k-75k, with snacks and afternoon tea provided, paid vacation during summer and winter vacations, holiday benefits, team-building dinners every month, year-end bonuses, annual meeting benefits, and pension security after retirement. After joining the company, you can read the documents in the academy, but any form of external transmission is not allowed."

Listen, listen!
This is the right way to recruit!

Duan Mingyuan really hoped that Jiu Yue could learn from her. Her strategy of making big promises and generating electricity for love had long been abandoned by the times. He really didn't expect that Yunhai Academy and Xianhe seemed to have walked out of an old ink painting, but the recruitment method was so modern.

In Yunlong City, this salary is considered very good, and all benefits are also available.

Yunlin added, "Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping are also the students that the academy is recruiting this time."

Duan Mingyuan had a vague guess in his mind that the reason why Yunhai Academy came to him at this time might be related to the hunters and the once destroyed Imperial Hunting Court. No matter the company, Dajiang or Yunhai Academy, they all seemed to hope that this organization would revive. The difference was that they hoped to become partners with the new Imperial Hunting Court.

It seems that hunting is an industry with great market demand.

"What is the purpose of Yunhai Academy?"

Duan Mingyuan asked.

The recent emergence of terrorists or human trafficking organizations, he had to get to the bottom of it.

"You must have known that after the arrival of the aliens, they were committed to completely eliminating the knowledge related to life energy. However, there were still some people who were unwilling to compromise with the aliens. They gathered their last strength together and created the isolated Yunhai Academy. We are not here to take revenge on the company one day, but to protect the lost knowledge. This is the meaning of the Yunhai Academy's existence."
