Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

The night falls,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were taking a walk in the academy after finishing their meal.

"Brother, I don't know if it's my illusion... I feel like someone has been following me recently!"

The two of them came to a very empty square with only a stone pier. Liu Mengying frowned slightly and spoke.

"Someone is following you? Are you sure?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan also looked solemn.

"Ok!"

Liu Mengying nodded seriously, "It didn't happen before...it started a few days ago...Although I didn't notice the other person, I just had a feeling that someone was staring at me..."

"This... Xiaodouya, tell me in detail!"

…………

the other side,

The seventh floor of the library,

"Lao Miao, as far as I know, the reason why Xiao Yuanshan secretly investigated Ye Fan was because Ye Fan pawned his jewelry at the pawn shop!"

As he spoke, Wen Zheng handed a piece of gold-inlaid jade to the old man with a nest of mushrooms growing on his head.

Lao Miao took the gold-inlaid jade and looked at it, then frowned slightly. "Apart from its exquisite workmanship, this jade pendant doesn't seem to have anything special about it?"

"Lao Miao, this style of gold and jade jewelry was made by royal craftsmen. So far, only one person has owned it, and that is Concubine Xiao Shufei. Concubine Xiao Shufei was on a boat trip in Jiangzhou City more than 20 years ago, and finally died mysteriously for unknown reasons..."

"And Concubine Xiao Shu is exactly the daughter of Xiao Yuanshan!"

"The death of Concubine Xiao Shu was very strange... After investigation by various forces, the case was dropped..."

Wen Zheng knew that Lao Miao had left Mingyuan Academy for more than a hundred years, and it was normal for him not to know what he had discovered recently, so he quickly explained.

"this………"

Old Miao frowned again, "Xiao Yuanshan has been secretly investigating for more than 20 years, but there has been no news. Now there is a clue, and the clue directly points to Ye Fan and Liu Mengying?"

"Yes!"

Wen Zheng nodded, "I also find it strange... Logically speaking, Ye Fanzhen was related to Concubine Xiao Shufei's death, so he would never dare to sell Concubine Xiao Shufei's jewelry and jade. However, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying did not go to big stores, but some small stores... This makes him look quite suspicious..."

"Wen Zheng, continue to pay attention to Ye Fan and Liu Mengying's movements, and make some preparations at the same time!"

At this point, Lao Miao paused, he pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Mingyuan College is preparing to leave the capital!"

"Leave...leave the capital?"

.........

Midnight,

Ye Fan was tossing and turning in bed, because when he was investigating the royal treasury during the day, he found an opportunity to secretly check the pointer of the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book, and found that the direction pointed by the pointer had changed. It was not pointing to the cold palace he had explored before...

"What the hell is all this?"

Ye Fan sat up and looked at the pure moonlight coming in through the cracks in the window with a depressed look on his face. He originally thought that he had made significant progress by following the direction pointed by the pointer of the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book, but in the end...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Ye Fan's expression changed and he suddenly turned sideways.

"Boom! Boom!"

Almost at the same time, a shrill sound was heard, and the bed where Ye Fan had just been lying fell apart in an instant.

"Wind attribute mysterious energy!"

Ye Fan's expression changed, he threw several talismans in the direction of the window, and then ran straight to the door.

“Bang! ~Swoosh!”

Amidst the huge explosion and screams, the fireball of the talisman explosion was cut into several pieces, and the door in front of Ye Fan was also cut into pieces, but Ye Fan had already smashed through the floor and ran to the floor below.

"Help, it's murder!"

After Ye Fan ran to the room below, the people inside were still dazed and hadn't reacted yet, so he started shouting, then broke through the door and ran out.

"Help! Kill someone!"

"There are assassins!"

"Killing!"

Ye Fan dodged between the big trees, pavilions, and boulders in the academy while shouting. Under the quiet night sky, Ye Fan's shouting was so loud that many of the originally dark rooms lit up.

After dodging for a while, Ye Fan also saw the person who tried to assassinate him. It was a figure of medium build who was completely black and did not reflect any light under the moonlight.

"Huh! Huh!"

“Bang! Crack!”

Another pavilion collapsed directly because its pillars were shattered by the wind-attributed mysterious energy, and Ye Fan was forced into a corner.

The man in black stood in the air, looking down at Ye Fan. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his figure flashed, and he slapped Ye Fan with his palm.

"call out!"

The piercing whistling sound caused by the friction between the blade condensed with wind-attributed profound energy and the air sounded again. A strong sense of crisis came over Ye Fan, and his eyes focused. At this moment, a gray figure flashed in the night sky and instantly came to Ye Fan's side. The wind-attributed profound energy blades that attacked Ye Fan from all directions instantly collapsed.

The next moment, the gray-clothed figure took a step forward, jumped up from the ground, and ran straight towards the man in black.

A look of surprise flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes, blue light surged all over his body, and he slapped towards the gray-clothed figure with both palms.

"Oh!"

The gray-clothed figure and the black-clothed man fought each other, and a blue ripple suddenly appeared in the air.

“Huh!~ Kakaka~!”

Wherever the blue ripples passed, flowers, trees, and even the lake surface were frozen, forming large patches of white frost...

"This feeling... extremely pure ice-attributed profound energy... the blood-sucking monster encountered in the reed marsh?"

Feeling the familiar fluctuations of profound energy, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel surprised.

Within a few breaths, the gray-clothed figure and the black-clothed man left Mingyuan Academy, and the entire area fell into silence again.

"What happened? It's snowing?"

"It's so... so cold... It's not even the twelfth lunar month yet, even in the northernmost city of Jiangzhou, it hasn't snowed yet..."

"Don't be silly. Jiangzhou City is in the south of the northern country. The geographical conditions there are special. Even in the twelfth month, the core urban area is not that cold..."

"What are you guys discussing? It seems like an enemy just rushed in... This might be ice-attributed profound energy..."

"There are enemies. I heard someone shouting for help..."

"What about the enemy? A cultivator who can freeze such a large area must be ridiculously strong..."

"Don't be afraid, the enemy should have been driven away by the seniors in the academy..."

...........

The students of Mingyuan College who heard the noise and rushed over looked at the snowy scene around them and started to discuss. Ye Fan had already left quickly, but he did not find a new place to sleep. Instead, he ran to Liu Mengying's dormitory. After confirming that Liu Mengying had not been assassinated, he ran in the direction where the gray-clothed figure and the black-clothed man left...
