Chapter 83 - Leaving For The Southern Dusk Empire (4)
"What? Is no one willing to clear my doubts?" Leng Ruoxue"s beautiful eyes looked at everyone present.
"Can you let me go if I tell you? I was forced as well," Mo Li said timidly.
"You don"t have the qualifications to negotiate with me!" Leng Ruoxue said disdainfully.
"Let me guess. After Fu Mingzhu angered the fire rhinoceroses, you encountered my brother while running for your lives. My brother saved you but was seriously injured himself. But a certain culprit was afraid that General Leng would know the truth and asked you to provide false testimony. This way, even though he was livid, there was nothing he could do because it was his grandson who caused the trouble and it wasn"t your fault, right?" Leng Ruoxue roughly said what she had guessed.
"Afterward, Chen Jian used this incident as a tool to attack Princ.i.p.al Lin, and my brother became the target of ridicule," Leng Ruoxue added.
"You"re right.. Prime Minister Fu forced us to say it this way," one of the teachers said.
"What did he say to you?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"He said that we wouldn"t be able to escape the blame of the academy"s number one genius becoming a cripple. General Leng and the princ.i.p.al wouldn"t let us go, so we had to push the blame onto Leng Ruohan. He also said that he would settle the other things. We didn"t want to agree at first, but he used our families to threaten us. In fact, he was the one who was most afraid that General Leng and the princ.i.p.al would find trouble…" the teacher said.
"Seeing as you"re telling the truth, I"ll let you die a quick death." With that, Leng Ruoxue released her spiritual power, and the teacher collapsed onto the ground, dead.
"Are you resentful? Resent Fu Mingzhu if you must! She"s the one who harmed you," Leng Ruoxue said coldly to the group of terrified students.
"Wait! I"m Elder w.a.n.g. I didn"t partic.i.p.ate in what happened that time. Can you let me go?" Elder w.a.n.g begged without any backbone.
"What do you think? You must have partic.i.p.ated in my brother"s downfall!" Leng Ruoxue smiled mockingly. If he wasn"t Chen Jian"s subordinate, he wouldn"t have been sent to lead the team today.
"I…"
"Fire rhinoceros king, your chance to atone for your mistakes has arrived. Perform well!" Leng Ruoxue couldn"t be bothered with them and glanced at the fire rhinoceros king.
"Attack!" the fire rhinoceros king ordered. His subordinates swarmed forward. Elder w.a.n.g and the others didn"t even have the strength to fight back before they were drowned by nearly ten thousand fire rhinoceroses…
Leng Ruoxue glanced at the fire rhinoceroses that were tearing through the forest like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter. Then she threw a pill to the fire rhinoceros king before leaving the forest with Ye Chen.

General Leng"s Mansion, Listening Snow Pavilion
"Xue"er, you will be going to Lunar Capital in a few days. Grandpa prepared these things for you. Take them with you!" Leng Qingtian said worriedly as he handed his granddaughter a ring.
"Grandpa, I don"t lack anything. You didn"t need to prepare anything," Leng Ruoxue said helplessly as she looked at the things in the ring. Why did Grandpa prepare so much food?!
"Bring them along with you. The journey is quite far!" Leng Qingtian said. Phoenix City was quite a distance away from Lunar Capital, and the journey was not very smooth. There were many sections that were very remote, and there was no place to stay at all, much less food.
"Okay!" Leng Ruoxue didn"t want her grandfather to worry since it was a token of his concern.
"Miss, the academy sent someone over. The princ.i.p.al is looking for you," Feng Da said directly as he walked in.
"Grandpa, I"m going!"
"Get going!"
…
After arriving at the Heavenly Phoenix Academy, Leng Ruoxue went straight to the princ.i.p.al"s office.
"Grandpa Lin, what"s the matter?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"Ruoxue, do you know that the students and Elder w.a.n.g who went out for training that day haven"t returned yet?" Lin Liang probed.
"Yes, I"ve heard. Grandpa Lin, the forest has always been full of dangers. Isn"t it common for teams that go for training to meet some powerful spirit beast and be completely wiped out? There"s no need to worry so much!" Leng Ruoxue comforted.
"That"s true," Lin Liang said helplessly. This girl is actually playing dumb with me.
"Ruoxue, I called you here for something important."
"What?"
"You must get first place in this year"s Academy Compet.i.tion!" Lin Liang said very seriously.
"Is there something special about this Academy Compet.i.tion?" Leng Ruoxue guessed.
"Yes. Have you heard of the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm?" Lin Liang asked mysteriously.
"No."
"The Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm is a naturally formed treasure land. There are countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, holy beasts, and divine beasts in it. It only appears once every thousand years, and only two hundred people are allowed to enter each time. The origin of the Academy Compet.i.tion is to fight for the spots to enter the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm. The Academy Compet.i.tion has been continuing even though the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm opens only once every thousand years. It happens to be the thousandth year this year, so this year"s compet.i.tion is critical. You can obtain fifty spots to enter the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm if you obtain first place," Lin Liang explained.
"Fifty spots? Sounds very attractive," Leng Ruoxue said without much interest. She had the Heaven and Earth Bracelet, so this Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm wasn"t very attractive to her.
"Of course it"s attractive. Do you know how many Spiritual Supremacies want to obtain a spot? There are many divine beasts inside. If you can contract one, you will be able to do whatever you want on the Ling Feng Continent. It is said that there are also precious medicinal herbs and heavenly materials inside that can help people advance to Spiritual Deity," Lin Liang said with yearning. Once in a thousand years, but not everyone had such an opportunity.
"Grandpa Lin, what benefits will we get if we can come first in this Academy Compet.i.tion?" Leng Ruoxue asked. She didn"t want to give others the chance to benefit. She had always been selfish, so of course she had to benefit herself.
"If you can obtain first place, then all of the partic.i.p.ating students will automatically obtain the qualifications to enter the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm," Lin Liang said. He knew what this girl was thinking, so he explained it to her in advance so that she could have peace of mind.
"What about the other spots?" Leng Ruoxue asked. She didn"t want the spots that she worked hard to obtain to benefit the people she hated.
