This system is outrageous.

When he woke up, he felt sore in his back and waist. Ye Fei got up and walked around the room doing stretching exercises.

The message sound of the mobile phone kept ringing, and Ye Fei finally couldn't resist and picked up the phone out of curiosity.

"Sure enough, the plot has been updated. Wait, what did they talk about? Why are there so many messages?"

Ye Fei looked at the small group of four people, which showed hundreds of unread messages. When he opened the group chat, Ye Fei felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

"Why would there be live photos of this kind of party leaked? What kind of magical angle is this?" Ye Fei looked at Gu Lan who was in a daze in the corner of the photo.

After flipping through the chat history, Ye Fei's heart was still hanging.

"I knew that the male protagonist would definitely do something weird."

After closing the group chat, Ye Fei clicked on the updated plot and started to watch. Although it was known that the hero had the support of the queen, actually watching the plot was another matter.

It turns out that the reason why the second male lead didn't show up on the city lord's birthday was because he got a magic weapon. In the original plot, this magic weapon would not be in the hands of the male lead until a long time later.

The news of the artifact's appearance spread throughout the kingdom at the speed of light. All the major resettlement areas were talking about it, and some people even planned to come here to snatch the artifact.

According to Gu Lan's memory, Dai Wenfeng did not have a good reputation outside, so all the major families were not optimistic about him. Instead, his elder brother Dai Yubai was seen by everyone as the successor to the city lord.

So theoretically, Dai Wenfeng should not have any followers, and it is even more impossible for him to blatantly win over forces in the city.

"So his base must be somewhere outside the Royal City and here. It must be safe and hidden, yet easy to come and go."

Ye Fei slowly closed his eyes and reloaded the map in his mind.

After the map was loaded, Ye Fei thought for a long time and marked the location points at two suspicious places.

"Find a chance to load the map at close range. I don't believe we can't find his lair."

Ye Fei was busy for a long time and her stomach protested. Then she remembered that she had not washed or eaten since she got up.

There were still some snacks left from the Eleventh night. The school meals were enough to keep Gu Lan healthy. They were bland to her, so she naturally had no interest in them.

Yu Lesheng, whose body Ling Rui possessed, was an immortal cultivator who had already transcended everyone else and did not need to eat at all.

After washing up, Ye Fei walked slowly in the corridor. The architectural style here was relatively simple, not as luxurious as the City Lord's Mansion.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to come over and eat something? You can still take a day off today. We have to prepare to go into the mountains tomorrow."

Ling Rui stood behind him at some point and saw Ye Fei staring at the sky in a daze.

Ye Fei turned around and saw Ling Rui standing there in a cloak. Under the sunlight, he really looked like an immortal.

"There are still some snacks left that Eleven brought me last night, and I just ate some. Gu Lan usually eats very bland food, so I don't have any expectations for the food here."

"I have a small kitchen there, why don't you go and make something to eat yourself."

Ye Fei's eyes were filled with anticipation. Although she was not a good cook, she had a lot of instant foods in her bracelet.

Following Ling Rui to the small kitchen, Ye Fei took out a pack of instant noodles and started cooking happily.

"Are you so happy eating instant noodles? It seems that the food here is really terrible."

Ye Fei blew away the hot air while eating in small bites.

"You don't know that Gu Lan usually eats only porridge and small dishes. What's the point of living like this?"

Ye Fei put down the bowl, took out his cell phone, and looked through the photos of yesterday's party.

"Where did Eleven get this? This is too scary."

Ling Rui couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, only the four of us have seen this photo. It's not a promotional photo, and it won't be circulated everywhere."

Ye Fei cleaned up the small kitchen and followed Ling Rui to his office.

"You can play as much as you want. You will be safe as long as you leave the school. I also need to check the latest instructions from the Queen. We will start preparing to go into the mountains tomorrow. She will definitely arrange many spies to come in."

Ling Rui opened the letter and the expression on his face changed. Ye Fei came closer with curiosity and saw the queen's emotionless greeting at first, followed by various orders regarding school affairs.

"To put it bluntly, you, the principal, are just a puppet. She has the final say on everything."

Ye Fei put the superstition into the incense burner to destroy it, then took the list of people placed aside.

"Let's guess which of these are spies sent by the Queen."

Although the plot mentions that the queen sent many of her confidants to study at the academy, there is no specific mention of who they were.

Ling Rui looked at those so-called sons of wealthy families, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"It's actually very easy to tell. The real sons of rich families usually have special teachers. Those who are sent here to study are either illegitimate sons or second sons of the family, or the younger generation of the branch with outstanding abilities."

"So are these all?" Ye Fei flipped through the thick list, somewhat unable to believe it.

"I'm talking about the servants and maids around these princes." Ling Rui took out a list, which detailed the family background of each student, as well as the information of the servants and maids who followed them.

"These people look like servants sent by various families to take care of the young masters and young ladies, but they can actually attend classes, so they are easier to bribe."

Ling Rui nodded.

This is their only chance to turn things around and enter the upper class, so it should be easy to bribe them.

Ye Fei sat aside and looked at the list of people carefully.

"If these people all followed us into the mountains, then who is Fei Lian's target?" In Ye Fei's opinion, these people were all the same. There was nothing special about them, and there was no one with a name.

"She doesn't have a specific goal. I think she just wants to cast a wide net and catch more fish." Ling Rui stood up and walked over.

"These people are not worthy of her in terms of family background or ability, but she has no better target, so she just holds an open audition."

Ye Fei held her chin with both hands and looked at Ling Rui. "Then we should just leave her alone and let her cast her net to her heart's content."

During lunch time, Eleven sneaked over.

"I know you're having a hard time, so I brought some delicious food to comfort you."

Looking at the list that Ye Fei put aside, Eleven reached out and took it.

"My goodness, there are so many people, but there are no main characters. They are all cannon fodder."

Ye Fei rolled her eyes helplessly. "It's you who's doing it. What's wrong with these people being cannon fodder? Even if they are not cannon fodder now, they will be cannon fodder in the future."

"I found Dai Wenfeng's lair. It's within your training range. Do you think it's such a coincidence?"

Ye Fei put down the chicken leg in his hand and came over.

"Don't say Fei Lian is in cahoots with him. That's a bit too much."

Eleven stretched out his finger and shook it. "I didn't say that. I just said that his lair is on the mountain you are about to enter."

Ye Fei rolled her eyes. "Isn't it the same? After entering the mountain, the cannon fodder will be captured by a mysterious person, and most of them cannot be rescued. Is there someone else on this mountain?"

Ye Fei suddenly turned to look at Ling Rui. "The Queen's undercover agent is also in there. If they are all arrested, who is behind this?"

Eleven raised an eyebrow, "Think about it again, who had the idea, who arranged the training ground, and who was supporting behind the scenes."

Ye Fei's eyes widened, and a strange answer came to her mind. "Does the Queen have to go to such great lengths to catch them?"

Eleven put his hand on Ye Fei's shoulder. "This queen is not a simple person. She is not the peaceful person she seems to be."

Ye Fei shook her head, feeling that her brain might not survive more than ten chapters of this plot.

"No wonder the heroine followed the hero in the end and rebelled. If she doesn't run away, she might be killed by the queen."

"So, do you really think that the Queen has not been taken down for so many years because she is beautiful?"

Eleven walked aside and poured himself a cup of tea, then put the list back to its original place.

"Tomorrow Changfeng will be captured along with several younger generations of the family. Don't do anything. He wants to sneak in to see what's going on inside."

"I'm going back to keep an eye on those drama queens. I won't be here tonight."

After Eleven left, Ye Fei took out his cell phone, opened the plot and read it carefully.

"What are you looking at so seriously?"

Ye Fei raised her head and looked at Ling Rui seriously. "I need to watch more plots like this to sharpen my brain."
