Chapter 110: Ambiguous

"Lu Xun, auntie, goodbye~"

Clear Void Academy.

The evening sun's afterglow sprinkled onto the school's stone-paved path, stretching the shadows of the three of them long.

Chu Youqing waved at the two, then turned and entered the campus.

Lu Xun and Murong Wan stood side by side at the school gate, watching the girl's figure gradually fade away.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of early-autumn chill, and also stirred the loose strands of hair on Murong Wan's forehead.

After the conflict on Liuyun Dao ended, Lu Xun ate a meal together with the two girls, then returned to the school.

This conflict ended with the serious injuries of He Huan, Lin Qiang, and others, and the He family together with the heads of several other families compensated Lu Xun a total of ten million Dark Energy.

Lu Xun spent the Dark Energy on buying the Liuyun Layered Shadow Sword, and thus returned.

Being able to get those families to compensate was mainly due to Fu Xue's merit.

Otherwise, just Fei Tai'a's words could at most bring Lu Xun back unharmed; compensation would be impossible, let alone getting Captain Xiao dismissed.

This world has many rules.

But ultimately, the greatest rule is force.

Fu Xue, with cultivation near the seventh realm, can overwhelm everything.

Moreover, she also has an older sister at the seventh realm.

Her clan is probably also not weak at all.

This time, Fei Tai'a's performance also feels more oppressive than when facing the fourth-realm assassins before.

This makes Lu Xun feel that his Dao heart might be in the process of recovering.

This is a good thing.

Lu Xun naturally hopes that Fei Tai'a can return to normal.

After sending Chu Youqing back to the academy, Lu Xun prepares to go to Qingbei Jie to check on Bai Ling's situation.

Walking along, he discovered that Murong Wan was heading in the same direction as him.

"Miss Murong, are you also preparing to go to Qingbei Jie?"

Lu Xun asked.

"Hmm, I was just about to tell you; my sister told me to go to the fourth floor of the Star Moon Tower to fetch something for her."

Murong Wan said.

Her voice was very soft, carrying a hint of tension not easily noticed.

"Well, that works out perfectly."

Thus, the two walked hand in hand toward Qingbei Jie.

The plane tree leaves along the way rustled, as if providing accompaniment for the two.

After the recent conflict, the two's relationship grew closer in an intangible way.

Especially the guy who teased Murong Wan with his words, after being beaten by Lu Xun to the point of unknown life or death, this made Murong Wan feel Lu Xun's care for her.

Lu Xun found some topics and began chatting with her about martial techniques.

This is actually also Lu Xun's plan for himself.

There's still one week until the secret realm assessment.

Lu Xun hopes that Murong Wan can use this week's time to practice the Thousand Shadow Steps or the Tai'a Sword Technique again, to see if she can rise another level.

This not only gives Murong Wan herself some additional life-saving means, but Lu Xun can also obtain a powerful return, making the martial technique even more formidable.

Lu Xun actually wants to exploit a bug, teaching her the Divine Trace Steps and the Myriad Calamity Non-Phase Sword Technique for a try.

See if the return can be made even more powerful.

However, martial techniques differ from alchemy; after the return, Lu Xun can freely use them and teach others, but it's not guaranteed that they will be able to learn them.

Martial techniques belong to the realm that can only be understood through intuition, hard to put into words.

Even if they could be taught, the learning difficulty would certainly be very high, wasting a lot of time, which would be putting the cart before the horse.

So, this matter cannot be forced.

Soon, the two arrived at Qingbei Jie.

Qingbei Jie is currently at its liveliest, with shops of all kinds brightly lit, and vendors' cries rising and falling one after another.

"It's Lu Xun."

"Murong Wan is also there; are they dating? Why are they always together?"

Some students saw the two and whispered to their companions.

Such whispers would normally be hard to notice on the noisy street, but cultivators' keen hearing let the two hear them clearly.

Upon hearing those whispers, Murong Wan's pretty face blushed slightly.

She subconsciously increased the distance between herself and Lu Xun, but then in the next second felt that doing so was overly deliberate.

The battle on Liuyun Dao apparently hasn't been transmitted back to Qingbei Jie yet; otherwise, these students wouldn't be so calm upon seeing Lu Xun.

The two arrived at the Star Moon Tower.

Lu Xun took out a key, opened the door, and brought Murong Wan up to the fourth floor.

This place has always been locked; Lu Xun rarely comes up here.

Inside, the belongings belonging to Murong Yan have basically been moved out; it's unknown what else Murong Yan might have left behind.

Murong Wan walked straight into the restroom.

"Ah..."

Scarcely after she entered, her startled cry rang out from inside.

Lu Xun hurriedly rushed over.

"What's wrong?"

"Cockroach..."

Murong Wan pointed at a cockroach in the wall corner, so frightened she lost all color in her face.

This usually poised and graceful young lady, but now she was like a frightened little girl, at a loss what to do.

"Eh."

You're a third-realm cultivator, yet you're still afraid of a cockroach?

Lu Xun was both amused and exasperated, but seeing Murong Wan's pale face, he couldn't bear to tease her.

He flicked his finger, a strand of strong wind swept past, and the cockroach instantly turned to powder, vanishing without a trace.

However, just as Lu Xun withdrew his gaze, his peripheral vision caught sight of something——

A black-and-red lace underwear hung silently on the bathroom hook.

The material was sheer, the lace delicate, and under the light it gave off a hint of sensual sheen.

Could this be something Murong Yan dropped?

After the cockroach disappeared, Murong Wan's heart finally settled.

She turned her head and also saw the lace underwear.

Seeing that Lu Xun had noticed it, Murong Wan instantly felt uneasy.

She had been ready to go and take off the lace underwear, but now she couldn't move her feet.

In the cramped bathroom, the air seemed to suddenly stagnate because of the presence of that lace underwear.

An ambiguous scent spread silently, like a wisp of fragrance, subtly entering the nostrils, and like a warm breath, lightly brushing past the ears.

Some unspeakable scenes that had once occurred uncontrollably surfaced in Murong Wan's mind——the warmth of skin touching skin, hurried breathing, disheveled hair……

Murong Wan only felt a surge of heat rising from her core, her ears burning, her cheeks flushed with a lovely crimson, and even her breath unconsciously grew shallower.

She lowered her head, not daring to meet Lu Xun's gaze, afraid he would see something in her eyes.
