Chapter 352 Get Suspected!
While the others already fell into a deep sleep, only Instructor Mei Lan and Little Loki remained awake tonight.
The usual lazy and sleepy Little Loki sat beside the sleeping Tang Li Xue while staring toward the closed window.
The others might not be able to sense anything under this thunderstorm, but Little Loki"s sharp senses as one of the mighty Four Evil Fiend Beasts could still feel the intense killing intent, and a large amount of blood had been spilled from somewhere outside.
This made Little Loki somewhat uneasy, so it decided to stay awake tonight and guard Tang Li Xue against any harm from outside.
Instructor Mei Lan opened her eyes and glanced at Little Loki, who was sitting beside the sleeping Tang Li Xue.
She could not sense anything happening on the outside like Little Loki, but her intuition could tell from Little Loki"s restless behavior that something terrible was currently happening outside.
Little Loki sensed that Instructor Mei Lan looked toward it, so Little Lokie glanced back to Instructor Mei Lan and their eyes met with each other for a few moments.
But Little Loki quickly lost interest, then it decided to ignore Instructor Mei Lan and staring back at the closed window again.
Instructor Mei Lan giggled in amus.e.m.e.nt when she saw Little Loki trying to act so smugly and mature in its tiny kitten body.
Instructor Mei Lan actually always remained vigilant at Little Loki before because she had a doubt that Little Loki would hurt Tang Li Xue sooner or later.
But right now, Instructor Mei Lan was finally convinced that Little Loki was really caring for Tang Li Xue and concerned about Tang Li Xue"s safety.
Both of them did not talk or said anything, but they stayed overnight to guard.
The fierce thunderstorm also persisted for an entire night, but it gradually died down when the dawn came.
When the morning arrived, and the patrolling guards started their duty, some of them immediately realized something horrible had happened last night.
It did not take long for the news to spread around, and the higher-up to knew about it!
…..
…
.
BAAAAANG~!!!
The door of Instructor Mei Lan"s room was kicked open by someone, and many imperial guards immediately rushed into the room!
Instructor Mei Lan already knew their existence a few moments ago before they barged into her room with her [Sonar] ability, so she did not panic at all.
But the sleeping Tang Li Xue, Yaya, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao awoke from their sleep in that instant in surprise.
Moreover, they immediately saw so many imperial guards surrounded them when they opened their eyes, so they instantly raised their guard to the maximum and wanted to fight those imperial guards.
Especially Yaya, she really hated anyone who dares to disturb her sleep the most other than Tang Li Xue of course.
Fortunately, they fell asleep while kept wearing their black cloak and hood last night, so their ident.i.ty as the foxes from Fox Race did not get revealed yet.
Tang Li Xue and the others finally knew why one of Instructor Mei Lan"s rules said that they must keep wearing and never ever remove their black cloak and hood outside of Myriad Foxes Academy.
"Stop! Do not resist! It seems there is some misunderstanding here. May I ask the reason why so many of you come here so early into our room this morning?" Instructor Mei Lan warned all of her students while asking for the reason.
The captain of the imperial guards stared at Instructor Mei Lan and the others one by one in suspicion.
But his expression softened a bit after he saw the beautiful faces of Instructor Mei Lan and Bing Yi.
No men could resist the charm of beautiful women, so even the captain of the imperial guards let his guard down a bit in front of Instructor Mei Lan.
But the captain of the imperial guards did not dare to answer Instructor Mei Lan"s question since the answer was really sensitive and concerning the reputation of the entire Feng Empire.
He asked Instructor Mei Lan an interrogating question instead: "Do all of you stay in this room together from last night until this morning?"
Instructor Mei Lan put on a confused expression while replied: "Yes, that is right. Some of my female students were afraid of thunder, so we decided to sleep in one room last night. Is there something wrong with it? Are we violating the rules of Imperial Palace by doing that?"
Instructor Mei Lan kept conversing with the captain of the imperial guards while glanced secretly toward Tang Li Xue and whispered with her [Telepathy] skill to Tang Li Xue: "Your clone is still in the other room, right? Try to use it to find some information about what happened last night."
Tang Li Xue secretly nodded back to Instructor Mei Lan and replied with her [Lock-On Telepathy]: "No imperial guards are barging into my perfect copy"s room yet. But the Core Disciple of Immortal Sword Sect, Ye Zhen, already came to meet with me in front of my room. I will try to ask about it from him."
In the end, the captain of the imperial guards asked Instructor Mei Lan and her students to keep staying inside this room since the Imperial Guards need to interrogate and investigate them further.
Instructor Mei Lan and the others were forced to comply with their request and kept staying in the room for now.
All of them could not roam around to search for information or clues since all of these Imperial Guards kept watching them, so they have no choice other than to rely on Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy to look for it now.
…..
Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy already returned to her room last night after getting scolded by Instructor Mei Lan, and she slept there last night.
When the Imperial Guards barged into her real self room, she also woke up in surprise at the same time.
Strangely, there were no Imperial Guards stormed into her room, but Ye Zhen already waited in front of her room.
Ye Zhen wanted to knock on the door of her room, but she could already sense him with her sharp [Extrasensory Perception].
Knock... Knock... Knock...
Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy hastily fixed her black cloak and hood to cover her fox ears and foxtail, then wear back her fox mask to cover her face before shouting: "Who is there?"
"Young Miss Xiao, it is me, Ye Zhen." Ye Zhen replied from in front of the door.
"Ah… So, it is Young Master Ye. You can come in!" Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy replied with a sleepy voice while opened the door for Ye Zhen to enter.
Ye Zhen smiled gently at Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy while asked: "Good morning, Young Miss Xiao. Did you sleep well last night?"
Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes and replied with a playful tone: "Do you know that there is a huge thunderstorm last night? How could I sleep under that kind of weather? I only managed to get good quick sleep this morning, and you wake me up so early. You better have a good explanation for interrupting my sleep, or I will get really angry at you soon."
Ye Zhen laughed bashfully at Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy and said: "Young Miss Xiao, I…"
But before Ye Zhen could finish his words, someone has come to interrupt his conversation with Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy.
"Chou Nu!" Elder Yang shouted with a worried tone while his figure flashed in an instant into the room of Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy.
He saw that Tang Li Xue"s door was open, so he thought something bad happened to her.
Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes again and said with a mocking tone: "Elder Yang, can you knock on the door first before entering into a girl"s room? Or maybe forcefully enter the girl"s room without being invited is actually your hobby? "
Elder Yang blushed slightly in embarra.s.sment after he heard Tang Li Xue"s mocking question, but he immediately turned his attention to Ye Zhen and said with a warning tone: "What are doing here? Do you know that there are so many things you need to do right now? Go and join the investigation team!"
"Ah?! All… All right, Elder Yang! Uhh… Young Miss Xiao, I am sorry, but I must go right now… Please be really careful from now on and…" Ye Zhen accepted Elder Yang"s order, then he bid his farewell to Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy and reminded her.
Elder Yang frowned and said again with a cold tone: "Do not waste any more time, go now!"
Ye Zhen unwillingly went out from the room of Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy and heading toward the entrance of Cherry Blossom Spring Palace to meet with the other elders of Immortal Sword Sect.
"Eh, wait…" Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy wanted to stop Ye Zhen and asked what happened last night from him, but it was already too late since Ye Zhen was already gone from her room.
Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy frowned and pursed her pinkish lips in annoyance while glaring at Elder Yang.
Elder Yang spread his hands in helplessness and said with a convincing tone: "Why do you look at me like that? I did not make it up. He really has so many things to do right now."
Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy sighed in helplessness. She actually did not want to talk or say anything to Elder Yang, but it seems she did not have any other choice right now.
"I am really confused and curious right now. Why do you and Ye Zhen come into my room so early in the morning?" Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy unwillingly asked Elder Yang with an irritated tone.
Elder Yang raised his eyebrow and asked back while smirking at her: "Do you really want to know so badly?"
Tang Li Xue"s perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes for the third time this morning.
This was the reason why she really hated to talk with Elder Yang. He did not only blackmail her before but he also often replied to her question with another question.
