Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 268 Dark Shadows
flutter--

The river roared and splashed against the shore.

At this moment, a vague water shadow condensed, looking at the young man in white with great anger.

How many days and nights did it take for it to condense a drop of rootless water? Now that one drop was forcibly taken away, how could it accept it?

Wu Bai didn't care, he just smiled and said, "Don't you believe me?"

The Mizukage glared at Kirishiro.

"I'm giving you a piece of advice. Don't stir up waves easily. It's not good to damage the ships sailing." Wu Bai looked at Shui Ying seriously and said, "If you are discovered by the Confucian scholars, I'm afraid you will be in trouble. They may even kill you."

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Water God seemed to be startled and immediately calmed the wind and waves.

"Although you and I are not of the same clan, we are of the same lineage. I will help you obtain the position of River God..."

Wu Bai stopped talking at this point.

He smiled and said to himself, "You are just a river soul now and don't understand anything. I am afraid you won't understand even if I tell you so much."

"This drop of rootless water is what I, Wu Bai, owe you."

Wu Bai hesitated for a moment and said.

At this time, the Mizukage was still looking at Wubai angrily, but there was no more storm.

"Remember, don't create storms easily, so as not to bring fatal disaster." Wu Bai's figure gradually faded away and turned into a white mist, floating towards the direction of Bocheng.

When he was a hundred miles away from Bo City, his figure walked out of the white fog. He did not dare to use his magical powers easily near Bo City, for fear of being noticed by the powerful people in the academy.

He walked towards Bocheng like an ordinary student.

Because he was dressed in white and looked otherworldly, he was soon invited by scholars going to Bocheng to board an ox cart and became an ordinary student going to Bocheng to seek fame or study.

……

Feng Qingyan returned to the academy and did not mention anything murderous.

But when the left and right historians saw that Fengsheng had not mentioned anything, they could not help but mention it to An Xiu so that the academy could be prepared.

"Teacher, did Qingyan encounter murderous intent when he was seeing you off?"

An Xiu was a little surprised.

Dong Louhui appeared, frowning and said, "Although Qingyan mentioned it, I didn't sense any murderous intent."

An Xiu was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Teacher, didn't you sense it?"

Dong Louhui nodded.

"Could it be an assassin from the Mohist school?"

An Xiu frowned. The only assassins who could hide in front of the great sage were probably the Mohist assassins. Even the Ghost King of Youdu couldn't do it. After all, the Ghost King of Youdu was full of ghost energy and it was too difficult to hide in front of the Confucianists.

"This shouldn't be the case."

An Xiu couldn't understand why the Mohist school wanted to assassinate Feng Qingyan?
This does not benefit the Mohists at all.

"The Mohist School really has no reason to take action." Dong Louhui nodded, and did not think it was a Mohist assassin.

"Could it be that Qingyan sensed it wrongly?"

An Xiu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Dong Lou Hui.

“It’s possible.”

Dong Louhui groaned for a moment and said, "However, sometimes, you don't need any reason to take action."

An Xiu nodded.

"In fact, I am not afraid of the Mohist School, but I am afraid of..."

Dong Louhui thought for a while and said.

"Outside of Zhou Tianxia?"

An Xiu seemed to have thought of something, and frowned, and asked, "They can't bear it anymore?"

"Now is the best opportunity for them." Dong Louhui nodded and said, "With every passing day, Qingyan's strength will increase. In a few years, Qingyan may be promoted to the position of Minister of Literature, or even a great scholar."

"How could they let Qingyan become stronger?"

At this time, Dong Lou Hui sat down cross-legged, looked at An Xiu and said, "If Qing Yan is promoted to a great scholar, it will be even more difficult for them."

An Xiu frowned and said nothing.

……

Jiaziyuan.

Feng Qingyan was reading in the study, while Jiuge was playing with Master Xiaobai nearby.

When midnight arrived, he carried his lyre to the Hundred Flowers Valley, sat cross-legged among a bush of flowers, and then played "The Summoning of the Soul".

A strange darkness descends.

He passed through a "road" and his eyes fell into the underworld.

Not long after, he found the figure of Miss Yaoyao lying on the mountain.

Miss Yaoyao was wearing a bright red phoenix cape and crown, and he quickly found her like a firefly in the dark night.

Beside Miss Yaoyao, he also found the soul of Bai You.

Feng Qingyan was relieved to see Miss Yaoyao, who had been carrying Baiyou's soul. However, he couldn't understand why Miss Yaoyao had been carrying Baiyou's soul...

Within a ten-mile radius of Miss Yaoyao, no wandering soul dared to approach.

Even if there was an evil ghost passing by, it would be frightened by the aura emanating from Miss Yaoyao and would run away madly.

Not long after, Feng Qingyan discovered that Miss Yaoyao was carrying Bai You's soul all the way to the mountain where he lay, and it seemed that she had collected some wandering souls on the way...

Two days later.

Feng Qingyan came to Baihua Valley again.

At this time, he discovered that there were more than just Bai You's wandering soul beside Miss Yaoyao.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that those wandering souls had become awake and seemed to be able to understand Miss Yaoyao's orders.

"Strange……"

Feng Qingyan was a little surprised. How did Miss Yaoyao wake up the wandering soul?
He found that Miss Yaoyao seemed to be becoming more and more complicated.

"not good!"

He suddenly discovered the figure of King Youxun, who seemed to be also flying towards the mountains.

Although along the way, the patrol king encountered many evil ghosts, even evil ghosts, and even a few big evil ghosts. However, as long as the "weirdness" did not come out, the patrol king could kill them all the way.

Unless there are groups of fierce beasts besieging you.

However, the mountain is very big, and Feng Qingyan estimated that it is more than ten thousand miles long.

If it were in the human world, the existence of mountains thousands of miles long would be unimaginable...

At this time, Miss Yaoyao continued to collect wandering souls. Feng Qingyan estimated that there were already thousands of them.

Two more days passed.

Feng Qingyan discovered that King Youxun was getting closer and closer to Miss Yaoyao.

At this time, the distance between the two was no more than a thousand miles, and King Youxun seemed to sense the presence of Miss Yaoyao and was rushing towards her madly.

And Miss Yaoyao also sensed the presence of the patrol king.

She suddenly dropped Bai You's soul and rushed towards the top of the mountain where he was lying.

The target of the Patrol King is Miss Yaoyao, so he will naturally ignore Bai You. Moreover, Bai You is protected by the wandering soul collected by Miss Yaoyao, so he is fine for the time being.

At this time, Feng Qingyan also knew why Miss Yaoyao wanted to collect wandering souls.

"Ha ha--"

"Look where you're going!"

Black mist billowed out of the patrol king's body.

As long as the "weirdness" does not appear, he can also run rampant in the netherworld for a while. Only the indescribable "weirdness" can make him unconsciously infected with the weird aura...

But it is difficult to achieve great evil.

The young lady flew away, her face as cold as ice but her red lips as blazing as flames.

His eyes were cold.

She did not fight head-on with the Patrol King, but just kept on robbing.

Soon after, she flew down the mountain and headed towards a pitch-black cave deep in the underworld.

That was a deep pit left behind by a mountain being uprooted. There was billowing black fog rising into the sky, and it seemed to be emitting a strange aura.

King Youxun was shocked when he saw this. What was he going to do?
Miss Yaoyao had already reached the edge of the deep pit. She looked back at King Youxun, then raised her head as if looking towards the sky, and then jumped down.
