The Ancient Realm Goddess
Investigate
The threads of light that crossed each other in front of Qing Yue'er had astonishing spirit power. If the thread of light touched his body, then it would cause a deep wound. It can even cut off parts of the human body.
And the troublesome thing is that the threads will move in a random pattern if the formation has been activated. In order to get through it, Qing Yue'er had to have sharp detection as well as nimble movements.
Qing Yue'er narrowed her eyes. His spirit power was spread over a dangerous area. His body began to move quickly with an unknown pattern.
*woosshh
Three threads of light flashed across the three parts of his body. The targets are his neck, waist and both legs. Everything was moving at a speed that could hardly be seen.
Qing Yue'er immediately jumped up and her body was tilted into a horizontal position. He held his breath as the three threads flashed between his body at a very close distance.
*wossh wosshh wossh
Finally the three threads passed without touching it. However before he even heaved a sigh of relief, a few threads had already shot towards him.
'Damn it!' Qing Yue'er cursed in her heart.
After which he began to move swiftly past the thread of light that threatened his body. Bloody wounds started to appear everywhere. The pain that came at all he did not care about. He must be able to pass this test.
Zu Tiankong looked at his disciple seriously. His hands were still regularly putting food into his mouth. He observed the steps the girl took.
Sometimes he would laugh, then shake his head, then nod, sigh or click his tongue. His face alternated between confusion, questions and pleasant surprises.
The old man was like gathering his expression in a lifetime and using it at a time. He really felt an incredible surprise.
"Grandfather, what do you think?" asked Zu Ruochu from behind Zu Tiankong.
Zu Tiankong clicked his tongue. The food in his hands was running out. "Chu'er, quickly cook a lot of food. We'll take the boy to eat together."
Zu Ruochu chuckled, then without saying anything he passed away happily.
Qing Yue'er's breathing was stingy. He looked at the thread of light in astonishment. It seemed like this formation had helped him increase his spirit power. Little by little he could feel his detection becoming stronger.
He has to admit that this is amazing. Besides being able to increase spirit power, this formation had also raised its qinggong to a new point.
Qing Yue'er looked at the remaining threads of light. A little more he will reach the finish line. With his body becoming numb, he again slid off quickly.
Just when the sun was at its peak, Qing Yue'er managed to clear her test. His body instantly collapsed on the grass with a heavy breath.
After a while, he got up and walked towards Zu Tiankong. The man looked at him with a hand that stroked his white beard. He seems to be thinking deeply.
"Yue'er, what did you feel when Ouyang Feng let out his aura?" zu Tiankong asked seriously.
Qing Yue'er did not know why this old man suddenly asked that. According to him, Zu Tiankong was a person who did not care about outsiders. But he doesn't want to think too much about it. There might be something important in the old man's mind.
"I feel like the aura is too heavy," Qing Yue'er replied.
Actually Zu Tiankong was confused as to how Wang Xun could be exposed to the scorpion snake venom. Scorpion snakes are known to dislike places that have a lot of spiritual energy. How could there suddenly be such a snake on the 8th peak that had many medicinal herbs?
From just one look he was sure if anyone was playing a hand behind all this. But who is that guy? And who is he really targeting?
"Try to be careful with the old man," he told Qing Yue'er.
Qing Yue'er nodded her head. He had indeed guessed that Ouyang Feng was not a simple person. He might go to investigate. And it just so happened that he wanted to know who someone Zu Tiankong was referring to.
Zu Ruochu came to them with various foods on the tray. A very fragrant aroma spread in the air. Qing Yue'er's already empty stomach immediately screamed for filling.
"Come, it's lunch time."
The three of them began to move to exhaust the available food. Chats are created to make the atmosphere warm. The two grandfathers and grandchildren were already familiar with Qing Yue'er's true identity, so there weren't many things covered up by her.

In the depths of the main peak, the face of the fox woman Yin Hu darkened with anger. He had just learned about the thing that had happened to Wang Xun. If Qing Yue'er was late in helping Wang Xun, that child would definitely just die.
He could not believe that a scorpion snake could appear on the 8th peak. His mind was the same as Zu Tiankong, someone must have planned to go against his will. But he did not know who dared to move by harming someone under his watch.
He waved his hand. Then someone in a white robe entered the room. That person immediately knelt before the Yin Hu ancestor. "Sikong Yuan greeted the ancestor."
"Wake up!" Yin Hu waved his sleeve. "Old Master, investigate who has placed the scorpion snake inside the 8th peak."
"Good."
After that Sikong Yuan passed away after paying his respects. He was the elder that ancestor Yin Hu had placed in order to supervise the male dormitory. And he was also one of the most broad-minded Yin Hu ancestor confidants.
Yin Hu sighed. Since the head of the academy was in closed-door meditation, it seemed like he had to pay more attention to the state of the academy even further.

At sunset Qing Yue'er returned to her dorm. He cleaned himself up and prepared to go out secretly. Right now he was going to go check on the residence of Ouyang Feng who was at the 3rd peak.
Night was the time when most disciples were silent to cultivate. It made the atmosphere outside become very quiet. Qing Yue'er took advantage of this opportunity to move freely.
He stepped his feet lightly, not even a single sound was created. In just the time of burning one incense stick, he had already entered into the 3rd peak. His footsteps continued to advance towards one residence that was quite desolate. According to the information he got from the other disciples, this was where Ouyang Feng was.
From the looks of it, Ouyang Feng's residence was extremely quiet, there were not even guards at his front door. Could it be that the person is not inside? If so, this is a good opportunity for him.
Qing Yue'er sneaked to enter Ouyang Feng's residence through the back door. But it turned out that there were two guards standing upright.
Qing Yue'er felt strange. Why were the residence guards only placed at the back door? Could there be something special at the back of the residence?
