Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 117: Lightning Poison
Eight months later.
"Chairman Zhuge Da, room number twenty-four is inactive. Please check."
Elder Zhuge Da just relaxed after making a report. An inner disciple walked towards him and made a non-wearing report.
"Not active how? Did you do anything?" Elder Zhuge Da immediately stood up and introgated him.
Of course the inner disciple directly denied it. "I didn't do it. When I entered the room it was no longer working. It was the only empty room. I want to use it."
The look on Elder Zhuge Da's face became complicated. Without saying anything directly walked towards room number twenty-four.
Arriving there Elder Zhuge Da examined carefully, then found the problem that turned out to be in his lightning seeds.
"Once again the lightning seed loses its energy."
This is the second time in eight months. Previously was room number twenty-nine, now room number twenty-four. Something that has never happened in the last hundred years. This is really weird.
Elder Zhuge Da ran to the guard table and took the report book. Because every three days there would be a disciple who would help him record the names in each room, so he should have the name of the person who last occupied it.
"Twenty-four, fifth floor ...." He was very serious about turning the page. Then find a familiar name.
"Zhang Yu?!"
Believing in not believing Zhang Yu's name was written there. Elder Zhuge Da's expression became gloomy and stressful.
The student standing next to him was also worried. "Chairman Zhuge Da, is there a problem?"
"..."
"none. Find another empty room. If not, wait."
The student left reluctantly. Elder Zhuge Da massaged his forehead then walked back to room number twenty-four. "Again Zhang Yu. four months ago the room number twenty-nine that he just occupied also experienced the same thing. The lightning seed lost its energy. Even that room just got a replacement lightning seed, now one room is broken again."
"I really don't know what's going on. Nor did he know how he could damage that lightning seed. For sure, I won't let him go again. I'll catch him when he comes out and prove he did it!"
Zhuge Da stood in front of room number seventeen. Zhang Yu's name was plastered on the identity board. So it's been confirmed he's not in the wrong room.
Unfortunately there were unwritten rules within the cultivation tower. People who are outside are prohibited from disturbing people who are inside. If violated will get a penalty and fine.
"I'll be here until you get out! You're not gonna get away from me!" the Elder Zhuge Da's.
...
Inside the room, Zhang Yu had just sat his body inside a red line. He raised his face for a moment to look towards the door after feeling an aura of hostility emanating from outside.
"I hallucinate if someone is waiting for me to come out" he murmured.
But how is that possible? It had been a good month he had only spent time on the fifth floor of the cultivation tower. He wasn't looking for trouble nor was he getting into trouble with anyone.
"From thinking of something else, it's better for me to cultivate."
Time passed quickly four months later.
Elder Zhuge Da just like the previous days was always on guard in front of Zhang Yu's room. He stared solemnly not budging even if there was a disciple greeting him.
"I won't leave even if this is a call from the head of the academy. I must catch Zhang Yu wet and force him to confess his deeds!"
"Chairman Zhuge Da, the head of the academy asked you to come see him."
Ah.. Whahuh?
Elder Zhuge Da was unable to speak after hearing what this disciple had said. It even took three to four new seconds after which Elder Zhuge Da opened his mouth.
"Academy Chief? Why is the Head of Academy calling me?"
"We don't know the elder. Please Elders go to the residence of the Headmaster of the Academy to meet him."
Elder Zhuge Da looked back at the door of the room that was still closed. Though he had just said he would not leave even if it was the Head of the Academy. Now that the Head of the Academy had actually called out, how could he dare to ignore him.
"Curtain! I'll be back soon! You just wait!"
After that Elder Zhuge Da went as fast as lightning to meet the Head of the Academy. Coincidentally the door of the room opened. Zhang Yu came out and met the two disciples who had just delivered a message to Elder Zhuge Da.
Zhang Yu looked at them from top to bottom and then back up. "Are you looking for a room?"
"No. We came for one business only. We don't have access to the fifth floor room" the two students said.
"It just so happens that. If you want to target this room, you should be disappointed that this room is no longer usable." Zhang Yu sauntered off in the other direction to look for another empty room.
Thirty minutes later. Elder Zhuge Da ran into the cultivation tower in a hurry. He went up to the fifth floor then immediately went to the front of room number seventeen.
But what did not occur to him, the room was already open and there was no one in it.
Retua Zhuge Da. He stopped the two passing disciples and asked them. "You guys told me that, right? Do you know where the disciple who occupied this room was before?"
The two disciples pointed to room number thirty. "That's it! He's going into room thirty!"
The eyes of Elder Zhuge Da were perfectly opened. He immediately ran from his place while exclaiming loudly. "Zhang Yu's! Wait outside! Don't come in!"
Zhang Yu did not listen. Elder Zhuge da retouced his steps trying to catch up, but before he reached Zhang Yu already closed the door of the room. Elder Zhuge Da clucked softly, then turned the bow back to room seventeen in haste.
"If this lightning seed is broken. So he's the cause!"
And it's true. The lightning seed lost its energy. Elder Zhuge Da's body immediately swayed as if he was about to faint.
Already three lightning seeds were damaged by him. It had also tried to stop him by waiting in front of the room every morning and evening but still missed it. Zhang Yu had already returned to the other room. In the future he was certain that there would be additional lightning seeds that lost strength.
"Arg ... Exorbitant! Who exactly gave him that special token. I really want to scold him directly!"
