The Eternal System
System 46: Mystery Academy
The voice made Ying Yue and Li Chen turn their heads forward. They saw a man descending from the top of the stairs by jumping and landing as slowly as he had floated before.
It was a luxurious and extremely classy outfit, in contrast to the clothes of an ordinary cultivator who only wore only cloth. The clothes that the man was wearing exuded a Ki aura that was strong enough to make Li Chen look up to him.
That man was Shang Li. He came up with an arrogant and unkind face standing in front of the two of them. A shriveled forehead and a sharp eye gaze pointed at the two of them, especially at Li Chen as a disciple in the academy.
“Shang Li, it turns out that you are here” Ying Yue said as she tried to maintain her smile
“Of course I'm here. This was the dragon room, a sacred place that held hundreds of scrolls and cultivation records dating back 1000 years. What about yourself? Come up with a newcomer and explain something you shouldn't be talking about?!”
Shang Li spoke in an ominous tone. Even Li Chen himself who was glancing towards Ying Yue immediately knew that his smile was just a fake smile to look friendly in front of her.
However, Ying Yue tried to keep her up and introduced Li Chen to Shang Li.
“Ah, This is the disciple I recruited in Feng city, his name is Li Chen”
“Nice to meet you, senior Shang Li”
Li Chen immediately gave a respectful greeting to Shang Li. However, Shang Li ignored him and did not even let go of that arrogant face.
Although feeling a little annoyed, but Li Chen tried to stay calm because he did not want to humiliate Ying Yue.
On the other hand, Shang Li himself suddenly opened his mouth.
“Ying Yue, why did you bring her here? Don't you know that this place is sacred and only for the chosen ones?!” ask Shang Li
“Shang Li, I understand that more than anything. And of course, I didn't carelessly bring people in here” Ying Yue said with a serious start
“Then what about this boy? You brought him in easily just because he was the student you chose. What is the proof that he will not end up the same as Ming Xiao?!”
The sring…!!
A cold gaze and an ice-cold air began to spread throughout the room. Li Chen and Shang Li who were standing right beside Ying Yue were shocked and opened their eyes wide.
While Ying Yue himself was seen unsheathing his index finger which formed an ice-like aura that was so sharp that it pointed straight at Shang Li's neck.
Cold sweat and of course a feeling of fear flashed inside Shang Li's head. Even Li Chen himself was surprised to see Ying Yue who suddenly let out a coldness full of threat.
Her sharp, cold gaze like that of an ice queen continued to look towards Shang Li with a threat implied within.
“Do not equate Li Chen with Ming Xiao! Or you'll feel the consequences yourself!”
Li Chen had never seen Ying Yue, the person he had always seen was full of smiles and the aura of a dependable adult woman could make a sinister expression. The cold gaze and also the strong threat made the atmosphere tense as if pressing on the air to difficulty breathing.
However, the thing that caught his attention was someone named Ming Xiao whom the two of them called.
Who her? And what's up with him? The same question popped up inside Li Chen's head into a deeper detail like a thirst for information. What had Ming Xiao done and why had the two of them gotten into a dispute? Even Ying Yue herself showed an expression that Li Chen thought he could not see from someone like her.
While Shang Li himself could only be silent and not move an inch after being threatened by him. Ying Yue pulled and lowered her finger as she looked at Shang Li who showed her silent response.
Ying Yue let out a long sigh as if filled with unrest within. He stared at meyu towards Li Chen because he felt guilty.
“Sorry. I so make the atmosphere gloomy like this..” softly Ying Yue.
Silence and no response came from anyone. Sheng Li himself was still stunned silently and felt his neck as if he was checking if there were any scratches from Ying Yue.
However, when they were silent there, suddenly the dragon room gate opened so hard.
Brak's…!
The three of them looked in the same direction and saw a man running towards them. He lowered his head and saluted, his voice and face looking frantic as he gave word.
“Greetings to senior Shang Li and miss Ying Yue!” said the man
“Greetings. What's up?” ask Shang Li
“Senior, this is critical!” said the man
“Content yourself. Talk slowly!” shang Li's
The last sentence the man said made Shang Li and Ying Yue open their eyes wide.
“What did you say?!” shang Li was surprised
Li Chen himself who saw his reaction was so shocked that he became confused. Illness and what exactly happened to make them both stunned like that?
“Disease? What does it mean?” ask Li Chen
“There is no time to explain! Take me there!” shang Li said
“Lewat here, senior!” tell that man
Shang Li followed the man from behind. While Ying Yue who wanted to catch up turned her head back to look towards Li Chen.
“Li chen, we are there too!”
“Eh? Me too?!”
Li Chen directly followed Ying Yue from behind to catch up with Shang Li and also the messenger man.
Legs that step as fast and as strong as possible are not made to lower their speed. Until in a short time, they managed to get to a residence that was so magnificent. Without lingering in front of the front door, they came in and walked through such a large hallway.
Follow and follow, that's all they can do. And as they were running down the hallway of the house, they heard the sound of agonizing screams.
“AAAHHH!!”
Those who heard the screams opened their eyes wide. Li Chen himself turned his head in all directions trying to figure out what the scream was.
“What was that just?!” muttered Li Chen
“Wire! Young lady's illness is getting worse!” shang Li's Grunts
“Actually what disease did you mean earlier?!” ask Li Chen
“Child, shut up and run as fast as you can! Someone's life is in the middle of death, I don't want to waste time answering your questions!”
Although it sounded rude, Li Chen could only be silent. Because from Shang Li's words, he felt that this was very serious and even related to the death and life of someone.
And when they reached a wide-open room, Shang Li, Li Chen and Ying Yue saw elder Gong standing beside the bed with a pale face full of worry.
A girl lying on the bed was holding the hand of a middle-aged woman who looked like her mother.
“AACCKKH!!” erang the girl
“Gong Qiao, survive!” the girl's mother said
That girl was Gong Qiao. Grandson, as well as the young lady from the Gong family who runs the Liliang academy. However, the condition of Gong Qiao did not look good at all at that time.
His body was filled with black patches like smoke that burned outside and inside his body. The unstoppable groans and even the dripping tears held back all the pain that spread all over his body.
“Tua Gong!” shang Li shouted
Elder Gong turned his head back and looked towards Shang Li.
“Shang Li!” sahut elder Gong
“How are you doing miss?!” shang Li asked who ran into the room with Ying Yue
Shang Li, please help my daughter! She kept screaming in pain since earlier, this illness of hers really tormented her!” said Gong Qiao's mother
“I'll do everything I can!” shang Li said
Shang Li immediately stood beside Gong Qiao and placed both of his arms in front of him. His serenely closed eyes began to multiply Ki's energy right in his palm.
And when his eyes opened strongly, Shang Li suddenly poured all of Ki's energy into Gong Qiao's body.
“ACKKHH!!” erang Gong Qiao's
