"I'm finally back."
Standing on the ground of the City of the Elves, Qinchuan felt that his body and soul had settled down. He felt like he had returned home.
"Compared to the State Capital of Qing, the City of the Elves is more like my home."
Ever since he came to the Blackmoon Combat Academy, Qinchuan had not returned to the State Capital of Qing. In fact, there was nothing else in the State Capital of Qing that Qinchuan missed other than Old Man Sun.
After everything was over, perhaps Qinchuan would consider returning to the State Capital of Qing to reminisce about the past. However, he did not have the mood or time for that now.
"Qinchuan, let's go back to school first," Lü Zi said to Qinchuan, "Is Teacher Ning waiting for you at school?"
Qinchuan nodded and said to Lü Zi, "Let's go back to school first. I've been away for so long and I miss everyone."
Qinchuan and Lü Zi had to return to school. Hui Tong, on the other hand, was preparing to go to the Dragon Spirit Lake to seek advice from Cang Hao due to some problems with cultivation. Qinchuan naturally had no objections to this.
As for Shi Cheng, he followed Qinchuan and did his best to protect Qinchuan.
After returning to the Blackmoon Combat Academy through the teleportation portal, Qinchuan saw Ning Ya standing not far away as soon as he stepped out of the portal. Ning Ya still looked familiar to him. She was wearing a purple cheongsam and looked elegant and noble.
Qinchuan smiled at Ning Ya and said, "Teacher, long time no see."
Ning Ya looked at Qinchuan and smiled. She opened her arms and said, "Let the teacher and disciple who have not seen each other for a long time give each other a warm hug."
Qinchuan and Ning Ya hugged each other gently and then separated. Ning Ya then hugged Lü Zi before turning her gaze to Shi Cheng, who was standing beside Qinchuan. She asked Qinchuan, "Is he the Desert Butcher?"
Qinchuan nodded and said to Ning Ya, "I have already signed a contract with Shi Cheng. He will serve me for ten years. After ten years, I will let him go."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Ning Ya said meaningfully, "I haven't seen you for a while, but you've gathered a strong force around you."
Ning Ya's words were right. Not to mention the familiar Lion Baron, just the Grey System alone was enough to amaze people, not to mention Shi Cheng. As for Xi Yu and Hu Xiao, there was no need to talk about them.
Qinchuan smiled embarrassedly and said to Ning Ya, "Teacher, we are all my friends. We are both teachers and friends."
"I know." Ning Ya smiled and said to Qinchuan, "Let's go back and talk."
…
Lü Zi went to see her grandfather. Shi Cheng was arranged by Qinchuan to walk around and familiarize himself with the school environment. Therefore, only Qinchuan and Ning Ya returned to the school apartment.
After entering the apartment, the smile on Ning Ya's face suddenly disappeared. Her expression became cold and stern as she said in a deep voice, "I've investigated. Xing Ming, who attacked you this time, is Hei Cheng's honorary director. It's impossible that Hei Cheng doesn't know his intentions. So, the one who wants to kill you this time is Hei Cheng!"
Hearing Ning Ya's words, Qinchuan pursed his lips and said, "I know it is Black Castle."
"We have never had any disputes with Black Castle before. Why would they suddenly attack you?" Ning Ya was puzzled, "Is there something I don't know?"
Qinchuan shook his head and said, "I don't have much contact with Black Castle. I have never had any grievances with the people of Black Castle. It is impossible to provoke the higher-ups of Black Castle. To be honest, I don't understand why Black Castle suddenly wants to kill me.
But the other party once asked me to hand over the consul's worm leg. Maybe this is a reason? "
"Hehe, it is a good reason!"
Ning Ya sneered, "As early as when you handed the worm leg to the teacher, we have already announced this matter to the public. Of course, the people who know about this matter are only the higher-ups of various forces. Black Castle is no exception.
They know that the worm leg is not on you but they still attacked you. This shows that the worm leg is just a lie. They are using the worm leg to cover up their real reason for attacking you! "
Qinchuan frowned and said, "Then why are they doing this?"
Ning Ya shook her head, "I am also investigating the reason why they attacked you. But I didn't find anything.
Maybe you can contact that senior of yours. She might know something. "
Hearing Ning Ya's proposal, Qinchuan's expression changed slightly and he fell into silence. Seeing Qinchuan's expression change, Ning Ya asked faintly, "You are hesitating. Are you afraid that Zhou Lin knows that Black Castle wants to attack you but didn't tell you?"
After a moment of silence, Qinchuan nodded and whispered, "I should believe that senior won't harm me, but the person on the other side is her father …"
Ning Ya knew what Qinchuan was worried about. She sighed and said, "Contact her. Whether she knows or not, you should give yourself an answer."
Ning Ya's voice just fell when Qinchuan's optical computer flashed. Zhou Lin, who was far away in Sky City, sent a call request.
Seeing Qinchuan's optical computer interface, Ning Ya turned and walked towards the cultivation room. As she walked, she said, "I will leave the space and time for you. After you are done, come to the cultivation room and find me."
After Ning Ya walked into the cultivation room, Qinchuan accepted the call request sent by Zhou Lin. However, neither of them spoke and quietly listened to each other's breathing.
This silence lasted for a long time before Qinchuan took the lead to break the silence.
"Do you know?"
"I know now."
The short conversation made Qin Chuan relax. Zhou Lin's answer was that she knew about it now and not that she knew about it. This meant that Zhou Lin had no idea about it before it happened. She only found out about it after it happened.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Lin said very guiltily, "I don't know how to face you."
Hearing Zhou Lin's words, Qinchuan smiled and responded, "Senior, I'm fine. This matter isn't your fault. You don't have to take it to heart."
"But my father was involved. He wanted to kill you."
Qinchuan could ignore this matter, but Zhou Lin couldn't be so calm. If this matter couldn't be resolved, she couldn't face Qinchuan with a clear conscience.
Hearing Zhou Lin's words, Qinchuan fell silent again. Although he had prepared for the worst before this, when Zhou Lin told him the truth, he still felt a little sad. It turned out that Zhou Lin's father was really involved in this matter and was one of the culprits who wanted to kill him!
Qinchuan hadn't seen Zhou Meng for two years. In his impression, Zhou Meng was still the black-faced god of the Second High School, always reprimanding students who didn't abide by the school rules.
But now, that black-faced god image of Zhou Meng in his heart had shattered. They were no longer the dean and student, but mortal enemies!
