The sun was high, and a gentle breeze blew.
Long Yi was admiring flowers in the garden, holding a glass of juice in his hand, appearing quite relaxed, immersed in the sea of flowers.
After leaving Cang Long Academy for so many days, the place he frequented most was the sea of flowers. It seemed that within the sea of flowers, he could feel his truest self.
However, at this moment, Long Yi’s brow twitched, and his demeanor instantly turned serious.
Lu Fan, who was beside him, opened his eyes and felt the fluctuation within Long Yi’s body. He asked in surprise, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, I need to go out for a bit!"
Long Yi said as he slowly stood up, but his eyes held a hint of distraction.
"Is it really nothing?"
Lu Fan was surprised. Long Yi was never like this before. His expression today seemed somewhat off.
"I just want to go for a walk. I’ve been here too long!"
Long Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for letting me feel true human affection!"
After saying this, Long Yi strode out of the courtyard. Although his face showed no emotion, Lu Fan sensed something was amiss from his actions.
"Xiao Fan, it’s time to eat!"
Lin Ke walked out from the kitchen, "I made your favorite crispy pork today!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. Lin Ke looked surprised, "Where did Long Yi go?"
"He went out for something!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "But judging by his expression, it seems to be something important!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly, not paying too much attention, and pulled Lu Fan to the table. "Try it, how is this crispy pork!"
Lu Fan was a little helpless, but he sat down. He didn't have much hope for Lin Ke's cooking. For some reason, ever since Lin Ke took a liking to the kitchen, he had become the guinea pig.
Meanwhile, in a dense forest somewhere in Longdu, Long Yi’s figure flickered as if he were evading pursuit, his nerves stretched to the extreme.
"I told you to come and snatch the Starfall Stone, but you're living a carefree life!"
A cold voice echoed through the void, making even Long Yi’s body tremble. He looked around with vigilance.
In an instant, a woman appeared before Long Yi, playing with a bell in her hand.
"It’s Tutor Hua!"
Long Yi relaxed slightly. "I thought the academy would send another tutor to hunt me down!"
"Long Yi, why must you do this?" Tutor Hua said directly. "You are the most outstanding person in the academy. If even you betray the academy, how can the Dean feel at ease!"
"Betray the academy?"
Long Yi sneered. "I just want to live the life I want. How is that betraying the academy?"
"You disobey the academy’s mission and dare to talk back!" Tutor Hua’s expression instantly turned cold. "Don't forget, it was the academy that gave you everything. Your powerful strength is also all thanks to the academy!"
"Does Tutor Hua really think I’m just a little girl?"
Long Yi said coldly. "The academy, in order to obtain resources, wantonly abducts children. Only those with exceptional talent can survive. As for the children’s families, they die without a burial place. Is this the academy’s nurturing?"
Tutor Hua’s expression was indifferent. "I didn't expect you to already know!"
"Such despicable means are simply shameful!"
Long Yi said coldly, "Actually, I knew this when I was very young, but I was unwilling to believe it!"
"Whether you know it or not, it’s no longer important. I’m here this time to send you on your way!"
Tutor Hua said directly. "Do you have any last words?"
"If you want to send me on my way, you’ll have to see if you have the ability!"
Long Yi’s eyes glinted with coldness. He knew Tutor Hua was extremely powerful, but he would never give up easily. For so many years, he had never given up.
"What, you want to test my limits?" Su Dan Novel Network
Tutor Hua suddenly sneered. "I really didn’t expect you to have so much confidence after only a few days of leaving Cang Long Academy."
"Hmph!"
Long Yi let out a cold snort and fled directly. He was very aware of Tutor Hua’s strength. Such formidable power was not something he could resist. If he could escape, it would naturally be for the best.
"Want to leave? It’s not that easy!"
Tutor Hua’s expression was cold, and she directly gave chase. As a tutor of Cang Long Academy, her skills and experience far surpassed Long Yi’s. It was not easy to escape her grasp.
One chasing and one fleeing, it instantly caused quite a stir, even the Long Country Headquarters was somewhat shaken. Two extremely terrifying existences were pursuing each other in Longdu, which posed a great challenge to the safety of Longdu.
"What exactly is going on? There are such powerful individuals within Longdu!"
The Seventh Elder spoke, "I have never seen anyone with such presence!"
"Ancient sects!"
The Great Elder spoke, "They violated the agreement and have emerged!"
"If that’s the case, what should we do?" The Third Elder frowned. "If the experts of the ancient sects make a move, we will have no ability to resist!"
"Let’s wait and see. If we can avoid conflict with them, then don’t engage them!" The Great Elder said solemnly. "Any slight misstep could lead to disaster!"
The many elders nodded, not knowing what had happened to cause such a commotion in Longdu. It was definitely not ordinary people.
Meanwhile, in Jiangjing Longting, Lu Fan and the others were eating. Sensing such a terrifying aura, they immediately felt something was wrong.
"Long Yi is in danger! It must be someone from Cang Long Academy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan rushed out of the courtyard. Long Yi had a deep friendship with them, and they would not let Long Yi be in danger, at least not let him fight alone.
In a swamp, Long Yi steadied himself but found that he couldn’t shake off Tutor Hua. His expression gradually became grave.
"With your current strength, it’s probably impossible to escape my grasp!"
Tutor Hua smiled. "If you return to the academy with me, perhaps there is a glimmer of hope for you. If you resist stubbornly, it will end in a dead end!"
"I won’t believe you!"
Long Yi said coldly, "If you have any skills, feel free to use them!"
Seeing that Long Yi did not intend to flee, Tutor Hua also smiled. She took out her ancient zither and fiercely strummed a discordant string.
Rumble…
At that very moment, a terrifying surge of energy erupted. Long Yi leaped up, narrowly dodging it. His face gradually became heavy. He never expected Tutor Hua’s strength to be so formidable. Just a single note almost took his life.
"This is the Magic Ancient Zither. With the enhancement of internal energy, it can harm people invisibly!"
Tutor Hua sneered. "You should have experienced it just now. If you want to make another move, don’t blame me for being impolite!"
"Even if I return to the academy with you, it’s still a dead end. Do you think I have a choice?" Long Yi said coldly.
"Since that is the case, then you have brought this upon yourself!"
Tutor Hua’s expression instantly turned cold. She would not hold back so much.
