"That's quite amusing. I've been here admiring the flowers all this time, when did I ever see your master?"
Long Yi said indifferently, "Perhaps he went on a date with a lover? After all, he knows Chu Zhou very well!"
"My master has no acquaintances in Chu Zhou!"
Gu Wen said coldly, "By the Jiangjing Lake, I sensed a martial aura, and it was quite powerful. It seemed like there were traces of a fight!"
"Then you've truly wronged me. I've been in this courtyard the entire time and never left!"
Long Yi smiled faintly, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. If I truly intended to deal with your master, I would have done it openly. I have no interest in dealing with him in secret!"
"I hope what you say is true, otherwise, I will never let you off lightly!"
Gu Wen threatened and prepared to go out and search again. However, just as he was about to, Lu Fan walked in from outside. Although he was forcing himself to stay upright, Gu Wen could tell at a glance that Lu Fan was severely injured.
"Master, what happened to you!" Gu Wen rushed forward.
"I'm fine. I just had a brief skirmish and sustained a minor injury!" Lu Fan waved his hand.
"Who was it that could injure Master!" Gu Wen was shocked.
He knew very well that with Lu Fan's current strength, he was considered a top expert among many kingdoms. Anyone who could injure Lu Fan would certainly not be an ordinary person.
"It was someone from Cang Long Academy!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "One day, I will make them pay the price!"
"Mr. Lu, that's quite a statement. Do you have any evidence to prove it was someone from Cang Long Academy?"
Long Yi said softly, "The many sisters of Cang Long Academy are not in Chu Zhou. How could they have injured you!"
"If I say it was Cang Long Academy, I am absolutely correct!"
Lu Fan's expression was solemn, as the other party had already admitted it.
"If Mr. Lu insists on thinking that way, I have nothing more to say!" Long Yi shrugged.
"I never expected you to have some status in Cang Long Academy!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "That person said he would personally snatch the Star Meteorite and take credit for your achievements. He even kept calling me 'Senior Sister' very earnestly!"
Long Yi's body trembled slightly. If that were truly the case, it must have been someone from Cang Long Academy. To her surprise, someone from Cang Long Academy dared to act without her permission.
"Master, I'll help you back to your room to rest!" Gu Wen said, "You mustn't overexert yourself, especially when you are severely injured now!"
"I'm fine!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "But some people are probably getting anxious. If their credit is snatched, they won't have resources upon returning to Cang Long Academy. This is no small matter!"
Faced with Lu Fan's words, Long Yi's expression turned grim. As a disciple of Cang Long Academy and its top senior sister, she would not allow such a thing to happen.
After Long Yi left the courtyard, Lu Fan revealed a cold smile, "It seems my guess was correct. Cang Long Academy is not an impenetrable fortress!"
"Master, by saying that just now, were you trying to cause internal strife among them!" Gu Wen said clearly, "But I always feel that as long as he stays by our side, he is ultimately a ticking time bomb!"
"With my current strength, I cannot contend with him!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "The black-clothed woman just now was clearly stronger than me. Long Yi is probably even more powerful!"
"If that's the case, what should we do?" Gu Wen furrowed his brows.
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If all else fails, we'll just hand over the Star Meteorite to him!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "As long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood to burn. Given enough time, I will make them pay it all back someday!"
"Master, you are right!" Gu Wen nodded solemnly.
As night deepened, in a bar, Long San was drinking, looking dejected. Today, he could have obtained the Star Meteorite, but he was just a little short.
If he hadn't been hesitant, he would have already returned to the academy to report.
As he was feeling down, a figure appeared in the bar, staring directly at him. The figure approached and said, "Long San, you've got quite the nerve, daring to defy my orders?"
"Senior Sister!" Su Dan Novel Network
Long San quickly got up, "Why are you here?"
"I should be asking you, why are you in Chu Zhou?"
Long Yi said coldly, "Could it be for the Star Meteorite?"
"Senior Sister misunderstands. How could I dare to covet the Star Meteorite."
Long San said repeatedly, "I came to Chu Zhou this time just for a casual visit. Didn't Senior Sister say it before? Since we finally got out, we should naturally enjoy this mortal life to the fullest!"
"Is that so?"
Long Yi squinted her eyes, a faint cold glint appearing, "You know very well that I hate being deceived the most, especially when it's done so earnestly!"
"Senior Sister, I truly didn't lie to you, everything I said is the truth!" Long San spoke again, "If Senior Sister doesn't believe me, then there's nothing I can do."
"Then where did the injuries on your body come from?" Long Yi smiled faintly, "Don't tell me you were bullied by some man!"
Long San's expression turned grim. He finally understood that Lu Fan must have reported him, which is why Long Yi came here.
"Senior Sister, when we left Cang Long Academy, all the instructors said that any student who could bring back the Star Meteorite would receive resources," Long San stated directly.
"So you intended to violate my orders?"
Long Yi smiled faintly, "You should know that in Cang Long Academy, as long as your strength is sufficient, you can do whatever you want. Even if sect brothers kill each other, the instructors wouldn't care!"
"Senior Sister, I was wrong!"
Long San quickly got up and knelt before Long Yi. He knew very well that if Long Yi wanted to kill him, she could do it in an instant. What's more terrifying was that even if he returned to Cang Long Academy, no one would question it.
"I can see you don't realize your mistake at all!"
Long Yi's expression was icy, "To dare to defy me behind my back, in the end, will only lead to death!"
Long San broke out in a cold sweat. He had already experienced Long Yi's ferocity and dared not be negligent in any way.
"As long as Senior Sister spares my life, I will be your loyal servant, willing to do anything, even as an ox or a horse, from now on!" Long San pleaded, his expression looking even more sincere.
"In that case, I will give you another chance. If there is a next time, I will not forgive you lightly!" Long Yi said coldly, "I know you have connections with some instructors in the academy, but don't forget, even if an instructor personally intervenes, they might not be able to do anything to me!"
Long San's body trembled. How could he not know these things? To be called the number one disciple of Cang Long Academy, the talent and strength required were immeasurable.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for sparing my life!" Long San prostrated himself on the ground, his body constantly trembling.
At this very moment, Long Yi had already left, not lingering here. Her purpose in coming here was to warn Long San that in the face of overwhelming strength, certain matters must be obeyed.
Watching Long Yi's departing back, Long San's eyes became sharp.
