Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 336 Permanent Sealing

"I'm the substitute."

A very soft voice came from behind him. The young man looked up and saw a series of masks.

"Excuse me, can't you take off your masks?"

Xuan Li looked at him and asked, "What, will wearing this mask or not affect our registration?"

"That won't happen."

"That's it."

Kunyu didn't say anything more. "According to the rules, the disciples of the academy need to have their age verified. Please come in."

The young man pointed behind him.

Behind her was a small, makeshift tent.

The group went inside.

The tent was small, and an old man sat in the center.

On the table in front of him was a fist-sized, pure white stone, as white as jade.

Pian Zi placed one hand on the stone, nineteen.

Mi'er, twenty.

Sancho, twenty-one.

Yan Nanfei silently stepped forward.

Eighteen years old.

Feng Siyue, seventeen.

Xuanli, 20.

In response, Kunyu turned to them and said, "The competition at Qingli Academy will officially begin at noon in four days. Don't be late."

Feng Siyue nodded and turned to leave.

Before arriving, Pian Zi and the other two had accepted a mission on short notice, and they had already teamed up and gone out.

Feng Siyue and the others returned to Qiusi Courtyard.

Cloud Beyond City, Cloud-top Restaurant.

In a private room on the third floor, Shangguan Fu took out a map and spread it out on the table. "This is a regional distribution map of Qinghe Luozhou."

"Based on the information that my senior brothers have been sending me over the past two days, Jiangcheng, Keyancheng, Haiqiancheng, Songmocheng, Hecheng, Yunbicheng, and Qianshuicheng are all cities that have been quite turbulent recently."

He held a pen and circled each of these cities.

"Cishu, doesn't this look like a formation?"

In an ancient mirror, Wei Cishu lowered her brows in thought.

"Qianshui City is located in the central and eastern part of Qinghe Luozhou. The other cities are all on the border, and people in all of them say they have seen ghostly shadows in tall trees. Only in Qianshui has the trace of the Parasitic Dead Flower appeared..."

She paused, "Six surrounding one, the swaying shadows of the trees seem illusory, while the sword points to the core."

The girl's slender fingertips touched a drop of water through the mirror.

Shangguan Fuque said,

"What I fear most is that illusions can harbor malicious intent."

He did not believe the situation was as simple as it appeared.

Disagreeing on their opinions, the two looked at Chen Shuye, who remained silent.

"Boss, what do you think?"

Chen Shuye, however, simply stared at the white paper in his hand, lost in thought.

Shangguan Fu saw that he was still looking at that thing and was speechless. "Boss, you haven't given up yet?"

That piece of skin was something Wu Lishan brought over when cleaning up the battlefield after the monster died. He said he found it in a pile of leaves. The white skin had red runes drawn on it, and no one knew what its purpose was.

Chen Shuye put away his shrug and said, "No matter where it ends up or what the purpose is, if it involves the future of humanity, we cannot turn a blind eye."

"What the boss means is..."

"Since these are the cities that are in turmoil, let's carve hidden teleportation arrays in these places so that we can split up and act separately when the time comes."

"Also, we need to keep an eye on the Thousand Water City Academy Tournament."

He had a premonition that something bad would happen at the academy competition.

Wei Cishu nodded, "I understand."

"Fatty, contact your senior brothers in the Saha Ghost Realm and tell them to be careful and pay close attention to the other side's movements."

Shangguan replied, "Alright!"

Chen Shuye looked at the map, but his thoughts slowly drifted away.

"If Si Nian were here, that would be great."

Chen Shuye leaned against the wall, looking somewhat lost.

Wei Cishu asked, "Have the two Ancestors, Chumian and Jiaolei, still not found any trace of that person?"

Chen Shuye shook his head, "There's still no news. I heard that Si Nian is about to collapse, and the Bai family is pinning all their hopes on their Medicine Spirit Secret Realm."

Shangguan Fu's face showed worry.

"There's not enough time."

At this moment, Gongzi Qi and Hongyue were also discussing this matter.

Gongzi Qi said, "Si Nian, as the most talented heir of the Bai family in nearly a thousand years, cannot be ruined by a curse."

The red-clad man hidden in the shadows said, "It's been more than half a month, and there's still no movement from Mu Xinjing's side."

The young man tapped his fingertips rhythmically on the warm jade table. "Those old fogies who don't know what's good for them...looks like I'll have to add a little something extra..."

The current crisis in Qinghe Luozhou presents a good opportunity for a breakthrough.

The young man flipped his palm over, revealing a pale gold porcelain bottle in his hand.

The blue specks inside the bottle were full of life, and Red Moon understood the young man's intention. "Your Highness, leave it to me."

Prince Qi placed the porcelain bottle on the table.

"The demonic plants are all of the same origin. If they remain unmoved upon seeing this thing... then let the Wood Heart Realm be sealed away forever."

Things that have no value are useless to keep.

At that moment, the man in red sensed a hint of coldness in the young man's calm words.

"Yes."

The young man stepped out of the house, surrounded by clouds rushing past. He went to the deck, faced the wind, and looked down at the city below.

"Qianshui City, don't let me down."

..........

Feng Siyue was observing the stars in the courtyard when she suddenly saw two streaks of starlight fall, and then two more people appeared in the courtyard.

Her eyes sparkled slightly as she winked at the newcomer.

"Young Master...you're not just passing by, are you?"

It seems like almost half a year has passed since we last parted ways.

The young man was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "This time, I came specifically for you."
