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

Chapter 286 The Isolated Merx

Yan Nanfei fell silent.

It's not that I'm afraid of people who are less talented than me working hard; it's that I'm afraid of people who are more talented or have better family backgrounds than me working even harder.

She never asked that question again.

The days passed slowly, and the seven days flew by in the blink of an eye.

These seven days were also difficult for Merkles Academy.

Someone leaked the news that the person Bai Chuhan saved that night was a former student of Merkes Academy named Yan Nanfei.

Everyone was curious as to why the students of Merkes Academy didn't seek help from the academy, but instead went to Hanxi Auction House.

This thorough investigation exposed Yan Nanfei's actions in Yunbi City to the public.

The whole of Qianshui City has been talking about this for the past few days.

"Logically speaking, given the facts, there's no reason for Bai Chuhan to save someone who has committed an unforgivable crime, is there?"

"Who knows?"

"Perhaps they have been misled."

"Impossible! She doesn't know, and it's impossible that Manager Cai doesn't know either. Besides, I heard them say that Bai Chuhan and Yan Nanfei seem to know each other!"

"Know her? Yan Nanfei is so lucky! He actually knows the second young lady of the Bai family!"

"But I asked my friends in Yunbicheng, and they all said the same thing: it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Yan Nanfei deserved to die a thousand times over! How could Bai Chuhan save her?"

"Could it be that there is some shocking injustice involved?"

"Who knows? The original lord of Yunbi City is dead, and his children are either dead or missing. There's no way to find out."

The conversation at the street-side wonton stall finally pushed Bu Feisheng, who was walking behind them, to his breaking point. "Injustice? What injustice could she possibly have? The facts are right in front of you, are you blind?"

The men in black who were chatting glanced at him. "Where did this mad dog come from, biting anyone it sees?"

"We're stating the facts, where are we wrong?"

"Exactly, we may not know much about Merkes Academy, but how could we not know much about the Bai family?"

What kind of family is the Bai family?

A thousand years ago, during the great war between gods and demons, if the Bai family and the Chaoyang Holy Palace had not been united in their hatred of the enemy and benevolent and reasonable at home, the human race would not have survived that great war. Even after a thousand years, the Bai family's position remains unshakable.

You should know that the Bai family is a well-known alchemy family on the mainland.

If it claims to be second, no one dares to claim first.

"you!"

Bu Feisheng was furious. "Who in the entire Yunbi City doesn't know what Yan Nanfei has done? Are you really going to disregard the facts just to curry favor with her?!"

They're just the Bai family, what's so great about them!?

"The truth? How do you know that what you know is the truth? I also don't know if what you say is necessarily the truth."

"Anyway, if we say that Yan Nanfei almost caused the destruction of Yunbi City, it's more accurate to say that you people brought this upon yourselves!"

The man picked up his sword and placed the spirit stone on the table. "Brothers, let's go. Before the truth is clear, we should avoid running into Merx's people."

Those around him immediately stood up and echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, boss!"

Later, things gradually developed into a situation where, in Thousand Water City, whether they were disciples or academy instructors, they would tacitly keep a distance of ten meters from the Merks Academy whenever they appeared.

Sometimes, rumors or facts can be constantly reversed depending on a person's status or position.

Therefore, they are being manipulated.

Inside the inn where Merkles College students are staying.

The dean of Merkes Academy was a thin, middle-aged man whose eagle-like eyes were now filled with rage. He picked up a cup from the table and smashed it violently!

"Damn the Bai family, why aren't they staying in Zhongzhou? What are they doing here in Qianshui City interfering in our affairs?"

Behind him, Mei Fang said with a gloomy face, "Dean, the most urgent thing now is to find Yan Nanfei and make her confess to her past crimes in person, so as to silence the public!"

"Find?"

"Easier said than done, where are you going to find one?!"

“I have already sent people to stake out outside Hanxi Auction House, just waiting for them to show up.”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

"This wretched child is really lucky! I don't know what kind of trick she used to bewitch the Bai family, that they would actually save her!"

He narrowed his eyes, a calculating glint in them. "Here's what you'll do: go to Hanxi Auction House and send them a visiting card."

"The matter of Yan Nanfei is of great importance. We earnestly request Bai Chuhan to hand him over to us for handling. If there are any disagreements, we can confront each other face to face. Merkes Academy will not allow anyone to tarnish its reputation at will."

Mei Fang said somewhat uncertainly,

"Dean, I'm afraid they won't hand them over."

The dean turned around and cursed angrily.

"Idiot! Is the point Yan Nanfei? The point is whether you can use this person to get in touch with the Bai family!?"

The woman then understood, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away!"

This day was October 9th, just 13 days before the college competition on October 22nd.

In the darkness of night, a breeze seemed to rustle through the treetops, stirring restlessly.

Feng Siyue stood on the open grassland, saying, "Wild geese fly south, don't hold back."

The girl opposite him, dressed in black and holding a tree branch, nodded upon hearing this, "Yes."

As she moved, her figure slowly became transparent.

The wind blew, and the eyes were slightly darkened.

The abilities of the Shadow Clan are truly peculiar; at the same cultivation level, Yan Nanfei seemed to have vanished.

Her location could not be detected by spiritual sense.

At this point, the eyes are no longer of any use.
