A group of people led by Li Wei and Dong Anchen, roughly about 20 to 30 people, were all lying on the ground, their eyes blurred, still pulling each other tightly, and mumbling something in their mouths.

Dong Anchen and Li Wei were probably older and had a better alcohol tolerance, so they managed to maintain some consciousness, their eyes were hazy and misty. The rest who were still sober were mostly girls, and a few teenagers.

Although some people could not hold their liquor very well, they could not resist the temptation of their companions and wanted to try a sip or two, but somehow they got drunk. Li Hu and Baozi could not resist the temptation and drank a lot. At this time, they also fell asleep with red faces.

"Look at this, none of them work." Lin Changming pouted, with a hint of disdain on her round face. She squatted down and gently poked a boy next to her, "Huh, not as good as me."

Jiu Tang felt a little helpless. How could a ceremony and a song be held properly, but now it has become like this? "With so many people, are we really going to let them sleep here for a night?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Xing who was standing aside. He knew that these people could not drink much, but he still took out two jars of such strong wine. Although he still looked indifferent, he looked a little cunning and proud.

Feeling Jiutang's gaze.

"Don't blame me. I told them that the wine was strong, but they still insisted on being stubborn." Ye Xing shrugged, his cold eyes filled with innocence. "Look at them now. They won't listen to advice."

Ye Xing shook his head and sighed with helplessness and regret: "It's a pity for my treasure. It's really wasted."

Jiutang was speechless.

Qing Wu thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about them. Miss, it won't be that cold with so many people huddled together. Besides, we are all cultivators and have cultivation bases. Why don't we just cover them with blankets?"

Jiutang was silent for a while: "Alright." Adding a blanket is better than being blown by the cold wind here."

Dongfang Xiao half squatted down and poked Dong Anchen, whose soul had drifted away. Dong Anchen did not respond at all, and his breathing became heavier. He murmured and leaned towards Li Wei.

Dongfang Xiao stood up, looked at Dongfang Chen, lowered his head and complained in a low voice: "You sleep like a pig. Tsk, no, you are a pig..."

"Okay, Sister Nine, leave this to me. I happen to have a lot of blankets." Dongfang Xiao raised his head and waved at the classmates who wanted to come up to help. "It's getting late. Everyone go back and rest. I'll be ready soon."

"Then you should go back earlier too." Jiutang followed Qingwu and turned around to remind him.

The soft and flowing light illuminated the road ahead. Even the stars and the moon were intoxicated by the light, lazily falling in the center of the black and gray curtain. The surroundings were quiet, with only the yellow light flashing in the gradually receding corner.

"In fact, the days in the academy are quite happy. Although the training is a bit hard, we play and fight together, and we don't have to work. We don't have to worry about food and clothing. The scenery is beautiful, and everyone can have their own yard. This is something Qingwu never dared to think about before."

Qingwu exclaimed excitedly.

Seeing her happy, Jiutang's lips curled up.

"By the way, where did Xiaojin go? Didn't she come back with you guys?" Jiutang suddenly remembered this little girl. She was so busy just now that she didn't even think about it. She only remembered it now.

Qing Wu scratched his head. "As for Xiao Jin, she is also restless. She has disappeared since she came back. Someone seemed to have gone looking for her just now, but the academy is so big that they couldn't find her. But everything is under the supervision of the dean. Miss, don't worry. Xiao Jin is definitely safe."

"By the way, Miss, what did you do that day?" Qing Wu couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Did you find something good?"

Jiutang smiled and shook his head: "There is nothing good, but I found a big trouble."

So he told Qingwu everything about the man behind the scenes.

"They killed so many people? Just to find Pink Crystal?" Qing Wu smacked his lips, "I didn't expect that person wasn't even in this world. It would be very difficult to deal with him."

"But fortunately, the young lady is not in danger."

Qing Wu had a look of fear on her face. She had thought that the people chasing her were enough of a headache, but she had never expected that compared to this from the young lady, it was nothing.

"Qingwu." Jiutang called softly, obviously thinking of Qingwu.

"Miss." Qingwu responded beside Jiutang.

Jiutang said with some concern: "Those people... they didn't come, right?"

Hearing Jiutang's question, Qingwu frowned and said, "I heard from Yexing that sneaky figures can be seen near the academy recently... But our academy is blocked by the dean's illusion. If it is an outsider, no matter how to go, he can only wander around in that dark forest.

We were lucky yesterday and didn't run into those people when we returned to the academy."

Jiutang sighed and said:

"We are safe in the academy for now, but we can't hide forever. Those people are always a hidden danger, so we should find out as soon as possible. In fact, in more than a month, our academy will set out for the academy competition. If we encounter any accidents during the journey..."

Behind those groups of men in black are the forces of the Liang and Yun families. Although according to Li Wei, the high-level cultivators of Liang and Yun must have a reason to go out, looking at the other party's momentum, it is not impossible for them to arrange people to go out and hire someone to kill someone.

Maybe the other party thought they were weak and didn't need to go to great lengths to deal with them. Now that the assassins have failed one after another, the other party will surely send out monks with higher cultivation.

The scene began to fall into silence. The two were not in a hurry to go back, so they walked slowly. It was still not far from the yard.

"So far, if I remember correctly, we have already faced three waves of people." Jiutang suddenly said, "When the academy was recruiting students, and the day when I went out to look for puppet materials. What's even more outrageous is that a few days ago when we left the thorn forest, there were four people in the out-of-body stage."

Jiutang found it a little hard to believe. Although a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage was not considered to be outstanding in a first-class country, he was still considered a person of some status in a small family. Yet, four of them attacked together just to take Qingwu's life.

If she and several beasts had not been present at the time, Qingwu would have really been doomed.

Now that he had calmed down, Jiutang began to think about this matter again.

For the Prime Minister's Mansion where they were at that time, Liang Yu was like a legendary existence. Not to mention the legendary Liang Yu, even a small family in an ordinary third-class country was not something that their small Prime Minister's Mansion could afford to offend.

“Qingwu, do you think it could be someone from the Prime Minister’s Mansion…?” Jiutang had a flash of inspiration and guessed, hitting his left palm with his right fist.

However, when she left, she lit a spiritual fire in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I think she burned the Prime Minister's Mansion clean.

Jiu Tang found this a little funny and joked, "Could it be that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion is still alive and has escaped to Liangyu and gained a great status, and because they had a grudge against you, they are relentlessly hunting you down?"

However, Jiutang was somewhat skeptical about this idea. After all, this was too absurd. If this was the case, she should be killed. After all, the fire in the Prime Minister's Mansion was not set by Qingwu.

And according to Qingwu's situation at the time, she was bullied along with the original owner Jiutang. If someone didn't like Qingwu, they would beat her up on the spot and would not have kept her until now.

But it's strange to say, if Qingwu's location can be found accurately, the person behind him must have something closely related to Qingwu's breath in his hand, such as blood or jewelry or clothes that have been worn for a long time.

But Qingwu always wore the same clothes regardless of winter or summer, and at most only a thin coat in winter. And in the original owner's memory, Qingwu didn't have any jewelry. After all, according to Qingwu's loyalty, even if she had any, she would have exchanged them for silver to buy Jiutang some delicious food.

"Ah...Miss." Qing Wu said in confusion, "Qing Wu only spends his days revolving around Miss, and he is extremely careful in the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could someone hate me so much that they would fight to the death?"

Qing Wu tilted his head and thought for a while: "Maybe he is jealous of my talent, hehe."
