Chapter 458: Hypocrite (3)

“Alright, since I have said my piece, I must not linger. Please send the herbalists as soon as possible, and I shall take my leave.” Then the black-cloaked man got up and left after he said that.

His black silhouette seemed to have disappeared in the night skies.

Ouyang Huanyu took a deep breath, and a teasing smile hung on his face as he sat on the chair. All previous expressions of helplessness had disappeared without a trace.

A short while later, Ouyang Huanyu got up and walked toward the bookcase.

Shen Yanxiao quietly stared at Ouyang Huanyu’s movements when he suddenly turned a glass vase before the large bookcase silently moved to reveal a pitch-black corridor.

Ouyang Huanyu took a lamp and walked into the corridor. As his silhouette disappeared, the bookcase then moved to close the hole in the wall.

Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. Their conversations about both of her mentors and herself had shaken her.

It was just as she had expected. The dean was not a kind soul, but she did not know anything about the mysterious man. From their conversation, she concluded that he was acquainted with Yun Qi from a long time ago, but why would he need herbalists? Had they also stretched their influence to the Blue Moon Dynasty?

She had so many questions about what she had heard, but the conversation had been cut short. She did not know how she would be able to satisfy her curiosity.

Furthermore, where did that corridor lead to? Shen Yanxiao was even more curious about that. She could feel that Ouyang Huanyu had not been totally honest with the mysterious man. There was probably more to him than it seemed.

Shen Yanxiao thought that she should not search the dean’s office randomly that night. She had a feeling that he would not place anything of importance in plain sight anyway. If she wanted to know more, then she would have to enter that passageway.

Shen Yanxiao decided to be prudent and not continue with her search for that day. Then she leaped down from the beam silently.

With a flash, her silhouette darted away from the dean’s office.

Shen Yanxiao had been preoccupied with her thoughts as she made her way back to her dormitory. She knew that she had heard some vital information that night. Things were still fine for Ye Qing, but it seemed like Ouyang Huanyu and the man in black had every intention to keep Yun Qi at the academy.

It did not look like things were optimistic for her mentor. Even though she did not know why they had wanted to detain Yun Qi, she knew that their motives were not as pure as it seemed.

Shen Yanxiao could not sleep a wink as those thoughts continued to torment her throughout the night. The next morning, she made her way toward the library.

Ye Qing was still researching the copy of the incomplete Blood Banquet Potion’s formula that he had. Based on his behavior, she could confirm that he was not in cahoots with Ouyang Huanyu.

Even so, Shen Yanxiao did not give him the complete formula so rashly. She could not tell Ye Qing about Ouyang Huanyu’s apparent bad intention or that he had given him an incomplete formula. Even if she were to tell him, Ye Qing might not even believe her.

She would have to endure everything for the time being, and she would continue to make plans once she had visited that hidden corridor.

An entire morning had passed before she bid farewell to Ye Qing and made her way toward the dormitory to catch up on some sleep. She also wanted to make a trip to the Archer Division before her absence caused Xie Ling to explode.

Just as she was about to reach the dormitory, Shen Yanxiao saw Lin Xuan standing outside the door nervously. Two slender figures were also there with their backs against the door inside the room, and they seemed to be speaking to Lin Xuan.
