Chapter 31 - The Odd Old Man
"Once that expert is strong enough, he will be able to find the culprit through the strand of soul remembrance." Li Xiao sighed and explained, "Although it will take a few days for my soul remembrance to reach that expert's body, it is still not enough … As long as that expert's mental strength is strong enough and his cultivation level is high enough, he'll be able to instantly lock onto your identity. At that time, do you have any way to deal with him? "
"There's actually such a secret magic!" A flash of heaviness appeared in Yue Feng Qing's eyes, and he started to worry in the bottom of his heart.
The reason why she had killed Hua Chen ruthlessly, was because she wanted to eliminate all future troubles. If the Ranker behind Hua Chen found out from her soul remembrance that she was the one who killed Hua Chen, wouldn't she be provoking a strong enemy that she couldn't afford to offend?
Seemingly seeing the worry in her eyes, Li Xiao also sighed heavily, and said: "Right now, I can only hope that I can reach that Ranker a little later with that soul intent. As long as I can delay it for half a month, maybe things will change for the better."
Half a month?
Yue Feng Qing's eyes immediately lit up. "Mr. Li, you just said that you will drag it out for half a month?"
"That's right." Li Xiao nodded, "As long as you drag it out for half a month, with your talent, if you are able to display your talent in the competition half a month later, it will be possible for you to become a favorite of all the Drill Level Instructors. At that time, if you succeed in taking in a disciple, even if you have a backer, even if that expert knows that you are the one who killed that person, he would not dare to come forward and take revenge."
"So you're saying, as long as I succeed in getting the approval of the drill level teacher, that's enough?" Surprise flashed past his eyes, and Yue Feng Qing immediately asked.
Seeing that, Li Xiao nodded his head, but his expression looked complicated: "But, there are so many students in the academy, there are at least thousands who want to be favored by the Drillmaster. This success rate can be said to be one in a thousand."
"It's fine. If there's a chance, so be it."
Although Li Xiao's tone was full of sighs, Yue Feng Qing was full of confidence.
After learning the details of the competition that the thousands of people were fighting over, which was favored by the Drill Rank instructors, Yue Feng Qing was brought into a separate courtyard.
Upon reaching the entrance of the courtyard, Li Xiao immediately knocked on the door respectfully. "Yan, are you inside?"
As the teacher with the school's silver medal, Li Xiao had such a respectful expression when he faced the courtyard's door. It was sufficient to imagine that the status of the person inside must be far above his.
As she thought about it, she secretly wondered what kind of person the Yan in the courtyard was.
"What are you doing here? I, an old man, don't like people coming. "
Just as she was feeling curious, a voice of a person suddenly came out from the courtyard with the stellar force's sound transmission. Although the tone of the voice was rather displeased, the courtyard door still automatically opened.
As she spoke, Li Xiao hinted her with his eyes that she should quickly take him as her master.
However, Yue Feng Qing frowned secretly, after hesitating for a moment, he said clearly: "Senior Yan, this junior does not wish to force you, elder, to take me as your disciple, let's forget about the matter for now."
With that, she looked at Li Xiao. Under Li Xiao's startled gaze, she turned around and left without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, she had just turned around when there seemed to be an invisible pressure pressing down on her head, causing her to be unable to move!
At the same time, an old man wearing an embroidered white robe slowly walked out from the main hall.
He casually swept a glance over her and then said to Li Xiao: "Since you brought him here, you can leave!"
That gaze, was as though if Li Xiao did not immediately go out, he would immediately chase him away.
Seeing that, Li Xiao could only smile bitterly at her, then drooped his head and left.
The instant the door closed, the intense pressure over her head disappeared, and she regained her mobility.
Suspiciously and vigilantly looking at the old man, a sense of unease flashed across Yue Feng Qing's heart.
However, she was very clear that the item stored in her body was the yin power. The reason she was mistaken by Li Xiao for the Ice Attribute was only because of the spirit artifact that Ye Bei Huang bestowed to her.
Just as she was thinking about how to explain it to the old man, the old man stepped in front of her and asked: "Little girl, are you an ice attribute Star arcanists?"
When the old man called Yan questioned her, although his tone was probing, her eyes were filled with a strange light.
Judging from the strong pressure from before, the level of this Yan was at least in the Earth Scale or even higher.
If a Ranker of that level wanted to differentiate her Star Force Attributes, it would probably only take a forceful probing with his mental strength.
However, this old man wasn't in a hurry to investigate her. Instead, he directly asked her. It was very likely that he was testing her!
As this thought flashed across his mind, Yue Feng Qing frowned, and asked: "What type of Star arcanists am I, how could you not see through it?"
Facing this old fellow, she didn't dare guarantee that she wouldn't be able to hide the matter of her yin power, but … He definitely couldn't say that she was ice attribute, so he could only answer in the end.
After the Yan heard her reply, he let out a strange snort and scolded: "I can naturally tell that you purposely changed the Star Force Attributes. However, what I am curious about is, what method did you use to change it?"
As she said that, Yan walked in front of her and stared at her from head to toe. Finally, her gaze fell on her wrist.
Gently stroking his beard, Yan squinted his eyes and said to her: "Show me the Spirit Treasure in your hand."
This old man had such vicious eyes!
To think that he would be able to tell that the spiritual weapon was on her wrist with a single glance!
With his brows furrowed, Yue Feng Qing hesitated on whether he should let this old fellow see the spirit treasure or not.
However, just as she was wondering, the Yan scolded her in a displeased tone, "What are you doing fooling around? "Don't worry, I won't eat anyone. If I can be sure that you are useless to me, at most I'll just let you go. I won't make things difficult for you."
As he said that, Yan had a "will not eat you" look on his face.
