Chapter 88: Night Raid, Is This a Mahjong Table in the Making?

~7 min read 1,364 words

Among the main group, many were visiting the Imperial Capital for the first time, and for a moment, they were all stunned by the prosperity here.

The group walked along the streets of the Outer City, observing and admiring the bustling nature of this Imperial Capital.

After passing through several long streets in the Outer City and walking for more than half an hour, the group finally arrived in front of a very spacious and luxurious manor.

"This is our academy's property in the Imperial Capital."

The Dean of Tianque Academy turned around and looked at everyone with a face full of pride.

In a place like the Imperial Capital where every inch of land is worth gold, being able to own such a large piece of property can be said to be an extremely prideful thing.

This is not just a matter of financial resources, but also a symbol of strength and status.

"The Hundred Schools League won't start for another two days, so everyone should just rest in the manor for these two days."

"Having traveled for three days, I presume everyone is a bit exhausted; use this time to adjust your state."

Immediately, the Dean assigned houses to the group; it must be said that the treatment at this Imperial Capital manor is not just ordinarily good.

Luxurious decoration is already standard, and everyone has an individual courtyard.

However, because of this, the distance between the houses assigned to the group is also somewhat far.

This is also because the academy fully considered everyone's rest conditions and personal privacy.

Because Lin Xue'er insisted on sleeping with Luo Shuiyan, she did not return to her own room, but stayed with Luo Shuiyan instead.

She can no longer bear to be apart from Luo Shuiyan and Jiang Che.

Night fell.

Outside the manor, a person in black walked over slowly.

As they were about to approach the manor, the space around their body shook for a moment.

Then, this person in black actually disappeared into thin air!

It was clearly someone who had comprehended Space Power, directly escaping into the void!

When they reappeared, they were already inside the manor.

Furthermore, the location of this person in black was precisely within the courtyard where Yi Zimeng was staying.

"This is the territory of my Tianque Academy; isn't it a bit improper for Your Excellency to come uninvited?"

"You are taking my Tianque Academy far too lightly."

At this moment, the Dean of Tianque Academy also appeared out of thin air, blocking the person in black with an indifferent expression.

"Li Yan, you intend to stop me? I advise you to move aside."

Looking at the Dean of Tianque Academy before them, the person in black said in a deep voice.

"Heh, why do you say that?"

"I knew someone would come, but I didn't expect you all to be so impatient."

"Your Excellency must be from the Yin Family; I don't care what internal conflicts your Yin Family has, in any case, this is the territory of my Tianque Academy!"

"Yi Zimeng is currently a student of my Tianque Academy, and as the Dean of the academy, it is only right and proper for me to protect my students."

"Within the borders of my Tianque Academy, even if you are the Imperial Capital Yin Family, you must absolutely not stir up trouble."

While speaking, a faint pressure radiated from Li Yan's body.

He looked at the person in black before him and chuckled a few times, his eyes showing no fear at all.

Although the other party was from the Imperial Capital Yin Family, Li Yan had no intention of backing down in the slightest.

"Hmph! Dean Li, rest assured, I will certainly report today's events truthfully to the Head of the Family."

Seeing that Li Yan did not intend to step back, the person in black did not choose to force their way in; after all, this was the territory of Tianque Academy.

"Go slowly! I won't see you out!"

At this moment, inside the room, Yi Zimeng sat on the bed, her pair of beautiful purple eyes icy cold.

Her eyes radiated thick hatred and killing intent.

She had heard the conversation in the courtyard just now clearly, and she was even more familiar with that person's voice.

"My good uncle, you sent someone over the moment I arrived in the Imperial Capital." "Are you so impatient to have my life?"

Yi Zimeng clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles creaking.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Dean is not bad; he can actually step in at a critical moment."

Jiang Che said lazily while lying on the bed.

Now, with the improvement of his strength, his Holographic Perspective can already cover a radius of 1,500 meters.

Everything that just happened in Yi Zimeng's courtyard was seen by Jiang Che.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong?"

Luo Shuiyan vaguely heard Jiang Che's muttering and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"It's nothing, someone from the Yin Family came to find Zimeng, but they were stopped by the Dean."

"That's good, that's good." Hearing this, Luo Shuiyan also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just at this moment, Jiang Che's expression changed drastically.

"Damn it! This is bad! There's a strange old geezer coming for us!"

"What?!" Luo Shuiyan was shocked upon hearing this.

One must know that the secrets they are currently carrying are not just ordinary in number.

Jiang Che dashed directly between Luo Shuiyan and Lin Xue'er, preparing to use his Teleportation skill to take the two of them and run first.

"Hm? Wait a moment, it seems it's fine again..."

Jiang Che, who was just about to use his skill, paused; another figure had appeared in his Holographic Perspective.

Only to see that high above in the pitch-black sky outside, two aged figures collided with each other! They erupted with an extremely powerful spiritual power fluctuation; if it weren't high in the sky, the force released alone would likely have destroyed the nearby buildings.

The old man who suddenly appeared was none other than Elder Guo, the Elder Guo who had been secretly protecting the group, who had stepped in to intercept that uninvited guest just now.

"Xiaobai, what is it? Did you see something?"

Luo Shuiyan frowned and asked hurriedly.

Lin Xue'er was also standing to the side with a nervous expression, her heartbeat accelerating.

After all, it was the first time they had ever seen Jiang Che so flustered.

There was only one possibility: an extremely terrifying existence had just appeared!

Such an existence was far more powerful than even the Dean!

"It's nothing. Although an old immortal has arrived, the old man who gave you the Black Wood Token has also shown himself."

Jiang Che watched the situation high in the sky while soothing Luo Shuiyan and the other.

However, at this moment, Jiang Che discovered that people had actually arrived outside the courtyard where Hu Xiaoxiao was staying.

In a single night, three different groups of people had arrived, and they were clearly all people of great background.

Jiang Che could not help but sneer.

Luo Shuiyan and the others were truly magnets for attention.

However, compared to the ones at Yi Zimeng's and his own side, the people looking for Hu Xiaoxiao were very polite and appeared to have no malicious intent.

"I say, my dear young lady, what exactly will it take for you to go back?!"

The man in black outside Hu Xiaoxiao's courtyard spoke in a soft, gentle voice toward the room, using a tone that was almost pleading.

"Can you not understand human speech or what?!"

Hu Xiaoxiao pulled open the door, her face full of impatience.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I said I'm not going back, so I'm not going back!"

"If you come to bother me again, don't blame me for losing my temper!"

As she spoke, Hu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, a hint of cunning and danger radiating from her beautiful eyes.

The man in black could not help but shiver; he could not afford to offend this young lady before him...
