704 Chapter 704: Bad News From Instructor Mei Lan!
Meanwhile, the real Tang Li Xue could only swallow her saliva in her own room right now.
She had already tasted Elder Yang's roasted meat before, and she liked it very much.
Unfortunately, she could only watch her perfect copy eat that delicious roasted meat alone at this moment through their mind connection.
'Err... Can you please bring some of the roasted meat back for me to taste later?' Tang Li Xue could not help but try to ask for her perfect copy to bring back some of Elder Yang's roasted meat to her since she really craved to eat it again.
The perfect copy rolled her eyes and replied with a mocking tone: 'No way~! Why don't you just come here and eat with us right now?"
Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched slightly in annoyance as she cursed: 'You insolent rebel~!'
The perfect copy giggled mischievously while Elder Yang also smiled even more brightly as he kept staring gently at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.
Tang Li Xue shook her head to clear her mind of all distractions and continued to practice [Essence Devouring Technique] while sitting in the lotus position.
Even though Tang Li Xue could already use this [Essence Devouring Technique] quite proficiently, but she was still very far away from completely mastering it.
When Tang Li Xue started running her [Essence Devouring Technique], the surrounding spiritual energy rushed toward her and absorbed into her body.
But she still carefully controlled the intensity within the barely acceptable range, so it would not make a big commotion just like when she practiced the [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula] before.
Tang Li Xue's cultivation had just broken through to the 2nd level of the Foundation Establishment Stage this morning, so she needs some time to consolidate it.
Therefore, she was currently practicing [Essence Devouring Technique] while consolidating her current cultivation level at the same time.
Doing two tasks at the same time like this might be pretty taxing for her, but it undoubtedly could save a lot of her time.
What Tang Li Xue lacked the most right now was time!
Unknowingly, the sun had set, and the skies slowly turned dark.
Instructor Mei Lan, Bingbing, and Silly Fox also came back to the inn one by one.
Tang Li Xue stopped her practice and slowly opened her charming topaz blue eyes since her group would have another meeting in Instructor Mei Lan's room again tonight.
Both Bingbing and Silly Fox only found some superficial information about Gu Shengxin and his family today, but the news brought by Instructor Mei Lan was very shocking to them.
Instructor Mei Lan told the crucial information she got today to her three students with a grim expression: "The war between cultivator armies and beast tides has spread and become more intense lately."
"To make it worse, Gu Shengxin's mother, Li Fuyun, and his sister, Gu Xianying, were attacked by the beast tide on their way back from Alchemist Sect to Garden City today. Their fate was still unknown until this moment."
"This news just arrived this evening, so Gu Family and the elders from Immortal Sword Sect would surely send many of their people to look for those two as soon as possible." Instructor Mei Lan concluded her news.
"Wha.... What?!" Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox exclaimed in shock and disbelief.
This news was too shocking, and it took some time for them to digest it.
After a few moments of silence, Tang Li Xue decided to ask curiously: "They should have a lot of bodyguards to escort them, right? How could something like this still happen?"
Instructor Mei Lan patiently answered Tang Li Xue's question: "Yes, they have several tens of powerful guards escorting them, but how can they escape from the assaults of hundreds or even thousands of rampaging beasts, it is also impossible for them to defend against the beast tide."
"To be honest, the chances of them still being alive is actually very small, almost nil." Instructor Mei Lan concluded.
"Wait a minute... Doesn't that mean the protection in the Gu Family's mansion will be weakened a lot tonight? Isn't this our best chance to sneak in there, find Princess Yan Fei, and bring her out of this city in one move?" Silly Fox happily told his idea to everyone.
Before Instructor Mei Lan could answer, Bingbing already rebuked Silly Fox with a mocking tone first: "You are really a fool~! No matter how weakened the protection is, there should be at least a dozen Nascent Soul Stage experts guarding there."
"Not to mention, there are also so many advanced formations for protection, trapping, and killing any intruders there. Once we recklessly enter the Gu Family's mansion, we might not be able to get out of there alive." Tang Li Xue added.
Instructor Mei Lan nodded her head in joy when she saw her student's growth and uttered with an urgent tone: "It seems even this Garden City is not safe anymore. This Garden City will surely be engulfed in war sooner or later, so we must speed up to complete our mission as soon as possible."
Then she stared at Tang Li Xue and asked: "Little Xue, what about you? Did your clone manage to find any clue about Princess Yan Fei in the Gu Family's mansion?"
Tang Li Xue nodded her head with a serious expression and replied: "Yes, I am already more than 60% sure that a nice girl named Zhu Yan should be Princess Yan Fei in disguise since I saw her controlling the water in the fishpond to form transparent thread today."
"Oh? Tell me more clearly about it." Instructor Mei Lan instructed Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue began to tell what happened today between her perfect copy, Zhu Yan, Ling Shuang, and Gu Shengxin to Instructor Mei Lan except for the part where Elder Yang suddenly came and helped her out.
"Uhh... But I might be wrong. Since there is still some chance that Zhu Yan is actually a human who has mastered water controlling spell, so I still need to observe her further." Tang Li Xue stated her hesitation.
Instructor Mei Lan nodded in satisfaction at Tang Li Xue's news and praised: "Good job, Little Xue~! You do not need to worry too much. You can just keep observing that girl named Zhu Yan carefully and try to make sure if she is really Princess Yan Fei or not in these few days."
Tang Li Xue's expression became a bit unnatural after she heard Instructor Mei Lan's words.
Well... The reason for that was because her perfect copy was currently 'trapped' beside Elder Yang, and she could not make any move to approach Zhu Yan for now.
"But that Gu Shengxin is really a jerk. He seems to like both Ling Shuang and Zhu Yan, right?" Bingbing uttered with a disgusted tone.
"Don't worry, Xue~! I will definitely not become like that bast*rd Gu Shengxin~! I will only love you alone forever~!" Silly Fox stated to Tang Li Xue while patting his chest to reassure her.
Tang Li Xue rolled her mesmerizing topaz blue eyes and said: "Is that the time for us to complain about that Gu 'Jerk' Shengxin?! We should start thinking of some way to make Zhu Yan hate that jerk, right?"
All of them instantly fell silent again...
According to Tang Li Xue's previous story, they were basically 100% sure that Zhu Yan had really fallen in love so badly with Gu Shengxin.
Even if they forcefully kidnapped her and brought her back to her home, she would surely sneak out again to meet with Gu Shengxin.
Making her hate Gu Shengxin was easy to say, but it was clearly extremely hard to do.
Even if they said to her that Gu Shengxin was an evil person or a womanizer with a lot of mistresses, she would surely never believe their words.
Who knew that Bingbing was the first one who gave them a random idea by saying: "What if we just find a better man for her? I am sure there are a lot of better men than that jerk Gu Shengxin out there, right?!"
Instructor Mei Lan's eyes shone brightly as a light of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she absentmindedly asked: "Wait a minute... What did you say just now?"
Bingbing stared at Instructor Mei Lan with a confused look and repeated what she just said: "Eh? There are a lot of better men than that jerk Gu Shengxin out there?"
"No, before that~!" Instructor Mei Lan replied.
"Eh, what? What if we just find a better man for her?" Bingbing murmured in confusion.
"That is it~! What a great idea~!" Instructor Mei Lan shouted as she suddenly stood up in excitement.
Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox still did not get it at all the reason why Instructor Mei Lan suddenly got so excited.
'What the heck~?! Did Instructor Lan really seriously think of finding a better man for Princess Yan Fei?' Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox thought in shock and disbelief.
Lmao~! This development is really interesting, right?! even I am also really looking forward to the next chapter now~! \(>w<)/
