Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Korean dance and... gone?

When Han Jiuquan pointed the finger at Ye Yuchan, without a doubt—both Ye Yuchan herself and those loyal followers of Duan Xingchen were stunned.

Han Jiuquan's sword trembled. If he could, he would not want to point the blade at Ye Yuchan from Yuntian Academy. The scene of being scolded by Han Qingying, the head of the Han family, was still vivid in his mind. He knew that Yuntian Academy was a nightmare for the Han family.

However, Han Wuhe's sudden disappearance forced him to suspect Ye Yuchan.

Because within the entire Three-Day Academy, besides Ye Yuchan, he couldn't think of anyone else who could harm Han Wu.

"First it was Sister Xingchen, then it was Han Wu from the Han family and—"

An indescribable aura of danger emanated from the man's burly body. He clenched his fists and stared at the silver-haired girl not far in front of him: "Ye Yuchan, what exactly do you want to do?"

"If I said I didn't want to do anything... would you believe me?" Ye Yuchan gave a bitter smile and subconsciously took a few steps back. "Besides, I really didn't make a move on Xingchen or Han Wuhe. Furthermore... do you really think I could abduct someone like Han Wuhe without anyone noticing?"

“But there is no one else but you!” Han Jiuquan took a deep breath and looked straight at Ye Yuchan: “My elder sister made ample preparations for today’s grand ceremony, but when the appointed time arrived, she disappeared without a trace, leaving only the formation still in the courtyard.”

“My elder sister would never suddenly leave the Three-Day Academy; someone must have kidnapped her!”

Han Jiuquan's current intention is to insist that Ye Yuchan is the one who kidnapped Han Wuhe.

In an instant, both major forces within the One Word Sect turned their attention to Ye Yuchan.

The target of everyone's criticism—this phrase perfectly describes the silver-haired girl at this moment.

"Rain Cicada..."

Zhang Ruoxue held Ye Yuchan's fair hand and gave her a questioning look.

Ye Yuchan knew that she was probably speechless at this point. If she couldn't produce evidence that she was not the criminal, she would probably be directly accused of plotting something and illegally detaining someone.

escape?

Looking around, the narrow courtyard was already completely surrounded. Ye Yuchan could neither fly nor burrow underground. If she covered her face with the invisibility cloth in public, she would probably be blown out by the barrage of magical artifacts...

The teleportation array hadn't been prepared beforehand; after all, she hadn't expected to suddenly be treated as a suspect.

So, fight our way out?

Ye Yuchan glanced at the weakest point in the defense. Considering the speed of reinforcements, she and Zhang Ruoxue would need to take down at least four cultivators at the peak of the Transformation stage within three seconds.

If her cultivation level were higher, it would be easier to handle. Besides, it's not a full moon tonight, so Zhang Ruoxue's Silent Moon Technique can't be used to its fullest potential to break through the defenses...

That's simply a fantasy.

How to do?

Ye Yuchan racked her brains, thinking that even if she wanted to engage in a verbal battle with the other party, she would at least need to be as skilled as a ninja possessed by a fox. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to persuade the other party to consider other possibilities.

—Should I just say something to stall for time again...?

The girl slightly parted her cherry lips, about to spout some nonsense and try to fool the group of people in front of her—

A silver sword.

A deep blue knife.

They appeared before Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue at the same time.

The biting wind transformed into countless frosts that swirled around the suddenly appearing Tai Chi Bagua diagram. The piercing cold swept across the entire area. Even someone as powerful as Han Jiuquan felt as if his meridians and body were in a snowfield, becoming stiff and unbearable.

All the mysteries were transformed into black and white ancient text. On the black and white array that appeared from the void, there stood a figure that seemed to blend into the night.

In stark contrast to him stood a cherry-haired girl in front of everyone, surrounded by a touch of frost, holding a long black scabbard, and dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit.

The two of them seemed to appear out of thin air; no one knew where they came from or how they arrived at this place.

All they knew was that the wind was cold, the formation was mysterious, and the oppressive aura that shook the entire area was terrifying.

"Who goes there?!"

Han Jiuquan asked sternly, but his voice trembled violently as he spoke.

Even the hand holding the sword seemed to be covered in frost, becoming extremely stiff.

"Yuntian Academy, Jiang Shaoguang."

"Yuntian Academy, Fan Luokui."

Faced with Han Jiuquan's question, both of them revealed their identities.

They did not choose to declare themselves as disciples of the Two-Character Sect; to them, the Three-Day Academy was merely a temporary institution.

Fan Luokui?

Jiang Shaoguang?

Upon hearing this, everyone's face turned pale, and their astonishment was clearly visible in their eyes.

Even though they weren't disciples of the two, they had still heard of these two people.

Rumor has it that two stunning beauties have recently arrived at the Two Words Sect. One of them is named Jiang Yuetian. She is slender and, although not particularly voluptuous, her every smile and gesture is captivating and alluring.

The other person is named Fan Luokui. She is said to be a ruthless person who doesn't even put Bai Yun in her eyes. Her face is as cold as frost, and her aura is imposing, like an iceberg.

Jiang Shaoguang is her senior brother, a mysterious figure whose true strength is unknown to anyone.

"Third Senior Brother?! And Luo Kui..." Ye Yuchan looked at the two who suddenly appeared with surprise, her expression as if she had seen a lifeline: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Shaoguang glanced back at Ye Yuchan, then winked at Fan Luokui beside him with a wry smile, and said with a laugh, "I was just joking around with Junior Sister Luokui... I just happened to pass by and saw you guys."

Zhang Ruoxue looked puzzled: "Just kidding? What do you mean?"

In response, Fan Luokui, with an icy expression, gave a cold reply:

"He insisted that I use the Frost Sunflower to make him herbal tea and wine, and even said he wanted to eat the shaved ice that Senior Sister Lin ate last time."

Ye Yuchan: "..."

Glancing at the ice shards still clinging to Jiang Shaoguang's clothes, she could roughly guess what Fan Luokui had done to Jiang Shaoguang after making such an outrageous request...

However, now is not the time to worry about such things.

After Ye Yuchan briefly explained the whole story to the two men, who were both quite capable, Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang couldn't help but frown.

"Han Wu and Duan Xingchen disappeared at the same time...?"

Jiang Shaoguang lowered his head, as if deep in thought.

They naturally believed Ye Yuchan's words, but as Han Jiuquan had said before, it wasn't wrong for Ye Yuchan to be suspected of being a criminal.

After all, she is indeed the prime suspect, and there is no evidence to clear her name.

In that case—

Fan Luokui, holding the scabbard, stood in front of Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue, her expression utterly indifferent.

"Everyone, I understand your feelings of losing the owner, but I can guarantee that Senior Sister Ye has never kidnapped anyone. Moreover, Han Wu and Duan Xingchen are currently missing. Instead of seeking help from the teacher, you are here to make things difficult for Senior Sister Ye, which is really inappropriate."

"Why do we still need to find a teacher?" However, the man who was loyal to Duan Xingchen did not care about Fan Luokui's words at all: "There is only one possibility now, that is, Ye Yuchan did it. You two-character sects, do you want to meddle in the affairs of our one-character sect?"

"She's my junior sister. If I don't care about her affairs, who will?"

Jiang Shaoguang, sword in hand, stood before the man, his expression unusually cold: "She said she didn't do it, and that's it. As her senior brother, I unconditionally believe her. If you insist on clinging to this story—"

Countless black and white array diagrams suddenly surged on the sword, and mysterious runes floated and swirled around Jiang Shaoguang.

With his cultivation at the Lesser Completion of the Opening Origin Realm, he was an existence that stood out from the crowd. When such terrifying spiritual energy appeared, everyone present felt their legs go weak and almost knelt down in worship.

"Then don't blame our junior sister Luo Kui for showing no mercy—"

Jiang Shaoguang, with a stern expression, dumped the hard work directly on Fan Luokui without showing the slightest shame.

Ye Yuchan had actually thought that her third senior brother was finally going to have his moment of glory after all this time...

In the end, the task of fighting still had to be left to Fan Luokui.

Fan Luokui glared at Jiang Shaoguang, but did not deny his words.

Seeing that these two disciples of the Erzi Sect, whose cultivation was far superior to his own, stood on Ye Yuchan's side, Han Jiuquan remained silent for a long time, struggled internally for a while, and then gritted his teeth and asked.

"If it really wasn't Ye Yuchan who did it, then where did my elder sister... where did my elder sister and Duan Xingchen go?!"

“It’s not just my older sister…” Han Mo, standing next to Han Jiuquan, chimed in, “Sister Xiaohua and Sister Xiaomei are also missing… No matter how you look at it, this is just too… too strange…”

"Sister Xingchen too... She's been missing since yesterday, and hasn't even watered the flowers in the garden..."

The man raised his head, and his eyes, unusually, were filled with pleading as he looked at Ye Yuchan.

“Miss Ye… as long as you can release Sister Xingchen, we will agree to do whatever you ask.”

A hard approach was clearly not going to work, and knowing full well that he was no match for Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang, he had no choice but to resort to a softer approach.

Faced with his pleading tone and expression, Ye Yuchan could only sigh helplessly.

"I've said it so many times, I really didn't—"

Before he could finish speaking...

Boom boom boom—

A violent roar.

A deafening explosion rang in my ears; it wasn't the sound of fireworks rising, nor the sound of a bomb exploding...

It sounded more like a building collapsing.

No, to be precise—

"What's going on?!"

Ye Yuchan instinctively grabbed Zhang Ruoxue's arm, while the latter held onto the wall to avoid falling to the ground due to the strong shaking of the ground.

Yes, the ground is shaking.

The tremors were so violent that it felt as if something was about to pierce through the entire Three-Day Academy.

A terrifying roar, a violent earthquake, and the sky suddenly shrouded in endless dark clouds...

The moon was buried, the stars were obscured, and everything seemed to become exceptionally dark in that instant. In a flash, the beautiful music stopped, the graceful dances ceased, the disciples frantically packed up their wares, and the esteemed teachers stared blankly into the distance, their faces filled with fear.

"This...this is..."

In front of Emperor Wen's platform.

His large body trembled violently with fear. Fan Muyong, the vice dean of the Three-Day Academy, was so frightened by the huge shadow rising before him that he knelt down on the ground.

At that moment, he understood.
