Volume 1_Chapter 275: Truly Shocked

When they arrived at Huangyun Academy, Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue were both showing their true faces.

There was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women at Huangyun Academy, but when the two stood at the gate, they still attracted many side-glances.

The world said how amazing Huangyun Academy was; one could tell by the expressions of the students, who looked at them with astonishment followed by a bit of contempt.

Because it was not the time for new students to enroll, they naturally assumed these two were here to admire the academy's grandeur.

They had seen many such people.

Anyone who dared to step onto the academy's stairs would inevitably be driven away.

Originally, these students were waiting to see them driven away in a sorry state; after all, as soon as these two arrived, they felt their own brilliance was overshadowed.

But they watched with their own eyes as the two walked up the stairs.

Everyone knew the stairs had restrictions; if anyone tried to force their way up, it would be triggered, and the academy elders would come.

But why were they fine?

Yun Qiyue looked at their shocked gazes, very confused, but naturally assumed they would encounter some trouble in a moment.

But what Yun Qiyue did not expect was that as soon as they stepped into the academy gate, a group of people who looked like they had significant status came to meet them.

She thought there would be a great battle, but unexpectedly, these people all knelt before Ye Lanjue.

Not to mention Yun Qiyue, even the academy students were filled with suspicion and disbelief at this moment.

Because those who knelt were the Dean and elders of Huangyun Academy.

Who were that man and woman, to make the Dean and elders kneel to them?

While the students were shocked, Yun Qiyue was also shocked.

After all, these people who knelt looked like they had a significant background, and Huangyun Academy had always been held in high regard.

"Go in."

Ye Lanjue said only these two words, then held Yun Qiyue's hand and walked inside.

On the way, facing Yun Qiyue's puzzled gaze, Ye Lanjue explained, "Forgot to tell you, Huangyun Academy is mine."

Yun Qiyue: "..."

Truly, she was shocked.

The group arrived at a great hall.

The Dean of Huangyun Academy, Xiao Yan, stepped forward and knelt respectfully, "Master, this subordinate asks for punishment."

Ye Lanjue sat down with Yun Qiyue and spoke coldly, "What crime have you committed?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

"This subordinate failed to manage properly, actually allowing... allowing someone in the academy to assassinate the Mistress." As he spoke, Xiao Yan prostrated himself on the ground.

In the eyes of the world, the high-and-mighty Dean of Huangyun Academy was undoubtedly humble before Ye Lanjue.

And the other elders didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"If you cannot manage the people in the academy, then this academy need not exist." Ye Lanjue said lazily.

For these years, he had not managed the academy's affairs, but clearly, the academy's atmosphere was already failing.

If it could not be corrected, then this academy truly had no need to exist.

The Dean and elders felt their hearts tighten, suddenly feeling immense pressure.

If the academy didn't exist, then they...

"We subordinates will certainly do our utmost."

At this moment, these old men were determined to reorganize the academy.

Over the years, they had not failed to notice that the academy's atmosphere had changed; comparison, fighting, infighting, harm, and bullying—these things happened from time to time.

But they hadn't paid much attention to it; however, now that the Master had ordered it, they had to pay attention.

They had all witnessed the Master's ability.

At first, they were people left behind by the Mistress of that year.

After the Mistress followed the Master and left, the academy fell into the hands of the Young Master—the current Master.

But the Master had not appeared for many years; it was only five years ago that the Master came to the academy once.

Having been in charge for ten years, they naturally did not want to be controlled by a "young brat."

However, the Master's ability forced them to submit.

In terms of strength, he completely crushed them old folks.

But after the Master showed his face, he never appeared again.

And some time ago, when Zhong Hai went missing, they investigated and learned what Zhong Hai had done; however, their requests to see the Master were rejected. During this time, they had been anxious, waiting for the Master to come.

Now that the Master had come, only ordering them to reorganize the academy was already quite a grace for them.

Ye Lanjue did not come to Huangyun Academy to manage these irrelevant people.

Today, he had only one purpose.

"Bring me the key to the Back Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was greatly alarmed, "Is the Master going to..."

Ye Lanjue gave a look, and Xiao Yan fell silent, then obediently took out the key.

Yun Qiyue only then realized that Huangyun Academy was the path to the Hidden World.

And the gate to this path was in the Back Mountain of Huangyun Academy, with the key always kept by Xiao Yan.

Of course, having the key didn't mean just anyone could enter.

Without sufficient strength, one could not enter.

And these people at Huangyun Academy were clearly not qualified.

As for the people of the Hidden World, the restrictions there were even greater; wanting to come out was not easy either.

In short, the trip to Huangyun Academy was unprecedentedly smooth.

However, before leaving, Yun Qiyue still asked about Yun Xiang's news.

But after a thorough investigation by Huangyun Academy, there was no trace of Yun Xiang.

Yun Qiyue, who had originally thought she would see her brother Yun Xiang upon arriving at Huangyun Academy, could not help but feel worried again.

If Yun Xiang was not at Huangyun Academy, where could he have gone?

Seeing Yun Qiyue worried, Ye Lanjue ordered the people of Huangyun Academy to help find Yun Xiang's whereabouts.

Subsequently, they went to the Back Mountain.

On a stone wall in the Back Mountain, there was a mechanism; inserting the key would open it.

Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue walked into the gate that looked like a circle of light.

After entering, it was a place like a paradise on earth.

But Ye Lanjue indicated that this place was just the path to the Hidden World; if one got lost here, they would stay here forever.

So, this place was beautiful but also carried danger.

However, Ye Lanjue did not fear these, and neither did Yun Qiyue.

Or rather, the temptations here were not much to the two of them.

Compared to this paradise, Yun Qiyue wanted news of her mother.

As for why Ye Lanjue was going to the Hidden World, Yun Qiyue had never known.

And Ye Lanjue only said she would know when they arrived, so Yun Qiyue did not ask much more.

However, just as they were about to walk out of this area, Yun Qiyue discovered something.

Something very familiar.

And that thing was none other than a dagger Yun Qiyue had given to Yun Xiang, inlaid with diamonds.

That's right, diamonds.

There were many forbidden lands, but they didn't know the value, so Yun Qiyue used them to decorate the sheath of Yun Xiang's dagger.

Yun Xiang's item was here; could it be that Yun Xiang had actually gone to the Hidden World? ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
