The First Academy in the Cultivation World

But if Ning Wushuang had not been there, they would not have been sure that they had arrived at another place.

Because the furnishings of this room are similar to the room where Ling Yan'er slept, even the teapot on the table is exactly the same. It's just that several people were in the room before, so the teacups were placed on the table, while this teapot and teacups were neatly placed on the tea tray.

"It seems that it is indeed a problem with the formation we discussed before." Ling Yan'er said. She got out of bed and opened the window, but she noticed the difference at a glance. In the hazy moonlight, she could see that the layout of this courtyard was exactly the same as Sheng Ze's base.

But the difference from Furong City can still be seen at a glance. The moonlight in the sky is red, and the moon is also blood red.

Ling Yan'er called out, "Come out and see, the moon is red."

Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin walked over to Ling Yan'er and looked at the ominous blood moon in the sky. Dongfang Zichu landed on Ling Yan'er's head and said, "It seems that there is something unusual here."

However, he had visited many strange places in secret realms before, and had seen red moons before, so Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin did not find it strange.

Sheng Ze also nodded and said, "You and Dongfang Zichu rest here, and my junior brother and I will go out to investigate."

"I'll go with you." Ling Yan'er said quickly.

"Forget it." Dongfang Zichu said, "You didn't sleep for long. If you get sleepy soon after going out, I'll have to take you back."

Ling Yan'er didn't dare to refute. She was indeed a little sleepy now, but it was normal for her to feel sleepy at the age of sixteen or seventeen and still growing!

"Everything here is unclear. Be careful and prioritize safety." Ling Yan'er urged them, "If something seems off, return as soon as possible. Oh, I have a flying boat with a protective array. If you run into danger, it'll at least keep you safe. Take it with you."

After Ling Yan'er finished speaking, she took out her phone, walked into the yard, and released the flying boat. The huge flying boat appeared in the sky above the yard. Sun Youlin looked at the flying boat, which was exquisitely crafted and obviously worth a lot of money, and said, "You're not afraid that we will take your flying boat and run away."

Even though Sun Youlin and Sheng Ze were favored by their master, the spirit stones they had saved together could not afford to buy this flying boat.

Not to mention the huge size of the flying boat, even the materials used can be seen to be of very good quality, and the refining techniques are also very sophisticated.

"I believe you're not that kind of person," Ling Yan'er said. "Even if you are, it doesn't matter. I know you're from Lingshan, and I know your names. If you take my flying boat and run away, I'll go to Lingshan and seek justice. I won't be the one to be embarrassed then."

After all, it is a big sect. Even if they are shameless, the sect still has them.

Sun Youlin was speechless for a moment: "Do you know which way the road to Lingshan leads?"

Ling Yan'er really didn't know the answer to this question, but it didn't matter. Hua Qingfeng definitely knew the answer, so she said affirmatively, "It's okay. I have a mouth, so I will ask it myself."

Sun Youlin was speechless. Sheng Ze glanced at Ling Yan'er's flying boat and could truly sense its extraordinaryness. He knew without even probing it, that with his level of cultivation, he couldn't destroy the boat's protective formation. Uncertainly, he put the boat into his storage ring and said to Ling Yan'er, "Thank you very much. After we leave, please stay in your room and don't come out. We'll try to be back before morning."

After all, the situation here is unclear. The only ones with cultivation are him and Sun Youlin. Ling Yan'er has no cultivation at all, and Dongfang Zichu's cultivation is negligible to them. They must protect themselves first before they can protect Ling Yan'er and find the senior sister.

It is night here now, and the chirping of insects that usually appears at night is absent. Everything is silent, as if you have arrived in a deserted place.

In addition, given the ominous moon, it would be safer for Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu to stay in the room.

Although it might be safer to let Ling Yan'er stay in the flying boat while the others explore the city, they came here to find out what happened, so they definitely can't just hide like this, otherwise they won't find anything.

So let Ling Yan'er stay in the room first and see if anything happens.

It doesn’t matter if Ling Yan’er falls asleep, Dongfang Zichu is watching her, so her safety is guaranteed.

Ling Yan'er wasn't one to disobey advice, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise to stay in this room and not go anywhere. You all should be careful."

Sheng Ze nodded and said, "Okay, Dongfang Zichu, you watch her. If anything happens, you can send us a signal. My junior brother and I will be back as soon as possible."

"Okay." Dongfang Zichu said, "I'll pay attention."

Even if Sheng Ze didn't say anything about this, Dongfang Zichu would not let Ling Yan'er get into trouble. Of course, Ling Yan'er's protective shield would also protect her safety, at least it would not threaten her life.

Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin left, Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu returned to the room, and Ling Yan'er went to bed directly. She was not worried about Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin at all. After all, both of them had already reached the Jindan stage of cultivation and had much more experience in the world of cultivation than her, so she didn't need to worry about them.

When Ling Yan'er woke up, Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin had returned at some point and were talking to Dongfang Zichu.

Seeing Ling Yan'er coming out from behind the screen, Sheng Ze greeted her, "You're awake. Have you had any strange dreams since you came here?"

"I didn't dream, I slept through it all." Ling Yan'er yawned and asked, "How about you guys? How was the investigation last night?"

"The layout of this city should be exactly the same as Furong City, but everything is reversed, and it looks like an empty city. We have used our spiritual sense to explore many places, but we haven't sensed any breath of living people anywhere." Sheng Ze said.

"Are we the only four living people here?" Ling Yan'er hugged her arms tightly, shaking off goose bumps all over the floor. "Then why did you bring me here?"

Sheng Ze shook his head: "It's not clear yet."

"Didn't your senior sister leave any marks?" Ling Yan'er asked Sheng Ze, "Logically speaking, if your senior sister came here, she should have appeared in this courtyard first. Wouldn't there be any marks left by her here?"

Sheng Ze shook his head: "We checked the room of the senior sister before, and the senior sister did not leave any message, as if the senior sister did not appear here."

But they all knew that the eldest sister must have appeared here before, and the first place she appeared was the house where she lived before.

After all, when Ling Yan'er came here, she slept in the same room as before. Not only the furnishings, but even the layout was the same. However, looking from this courtyard, it was difficult to notice that it was the other way around. They looked at the layout in reverse order to see the overall layout of the entire city.

But Shengze's eldest senior sister did not leave any message, which was very unusual. Normally, if she suddenly arrived at a place, she should have left a message for her two junior brothers.

However, Ling Yan'er didn't find it strange. She said, "If you hadn't been here last night, the noise of you rushing over would have woken me up. I wouldn't have noticed I'd changed places."

The reason why Ling Yan'er said this was because the layout here was exactly the same as what she saw before she went to bed. If she woke up normally, the first thing she would feel would definitely not be that she was moved to a new place, but that everyone had gone out. Perhaps she would feel strange only when she didn't see anyone in the city.

After all, even if you wake up and don't see anyone, you won't think that you have disappeared, but rather that others have disappeared. After all, the layout is the same as before.

Sheng Ze and Ling Yan'er's eyes met, and Sheng Ze said, "So in Senior Sister's opinion, it might be us who are missing."

If that were the case, it would make sense that she left in such a hurry to find them that she left no trace or information.

But at the same time, there is another question: where are the eldest sister and those who are missing now?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a clear voice of a maid came from outside the door: "Madam, it's time to get up. You still have to serve tea to the old lady today."

Without waiting for Ling Yan'er to reply, the maid who had knocked on the door opened it and walked in. As if she hadn't noticed the three men in the room, she walked straight up to Ling Yan'er and said, "Madam, you're already awake. Come sit down and I'll help you with your makeup."

Ling Yan'er lost control of her body all of a sudden. After hearing what the maid said, she walked to the dressing table and sat down. After Ling Yan'er sat down, the dressing table, which was usually just a decoration, was filled with combs, rouge, and various pearl hairpins.

Before Ling Yan'er sat down, it was just an ordinary table that could be used as a desk, but after Ling Yan'er sat down, a bronze mirror, jewelry, rouge, powder and a comb appeared on the table.

After Ling Yan'er sat down, the girl loosened her hair and began to comb her hair into a woman's bun. Then she asked, "What jewelry will you wear today, Madam? Is this set okay?"

Although she was asking, she didn't wait for Ling Yan'er to answer and put it on Ling Yan'er on her own.

Seeing Ling Yan'er cooperating with her makeup, the three of them looked in her direction. Dongfang Zichu said, "It seems your senior sister didn't leave any information. There is another possibility. She can't control her own actions."

After all, Ling Yan'er was talking to them before. Even if she wanted to cooperate with that girl's actions and see what she was going to do, it was impossible for her to not say a word to them.

But after Ling Yan'er sat down, she didn't move or say a word. It didn't seem like she was acting voluntarily.

Sheng Ze nodded blankly: "I didn't feel how she appeared just now, did you feel it?"

Before the girl knocked on the door, he didn't hear any sound at all. He was already at the Golden Core stage, and this girl looked like just a mortal.

Sun Youlin and Dongfang Zichu also shook their heads. Sun Youlin said, "No, she seemed to have appeared out of thin air at the door. What should we do now?"

"Let's wait and see." Dongfang Zichu said, "She doesn't know if she can't see us or what. Let's follow her and see what's going on. Let's see what the person behind the scenes is trying to do by controlling Ling Yan'er."

The situation is unclear now, so we can only wait and see. At least we need to know what the person who controls Ling Yan'er wants to do. If it is detrimental to Ling Yan'er, we can stop it then.

He glanced at Ling Yan'er. It seemed that Ling Yan'er was fine except that her movements were under control.

Ling Yan'er cursed in her heart. These three people really didn't worry about her at all. They even wanted to go and see what she was being controlled to do?

Fortunately, the girl just re-combed Ling Yan'er's hair and did not ask Ling Yan'er to change her clothes on the spot. Otherwise, if these three people did not leave, she would be very angry. After all, it is still summer and she is not wearing much.

After she finished combing Ling Yan'er's hair and putting on the hair accessories, she also put on a pair of jade bracelets and a necklace for Ling Yan'er. Then the girl looked at Ling Yan'er and said to her with great satisfaction, "Madam, let's go to the old lady's yard now."

Ling Yan'er stood up and walked towards the so-called old lady's yard with the most dignified and ladylike steps she had ever taken in her life.

Along the way, one could see servants and maids doing their respective duties, and when they saw Ling Yan'er, they would stop and greet her, "Young Madam."

As for Sheng Ze, Sun Youlin and Dongfang Zichu who followed Ling Yan'er, those people seemed not to see them.

Logically speaking, if he could see Ling Yan'er, he shouldn't be unable to see them.

These people seemed to have ignored the fact that three grown men were following the two people in front of them. After all, there were three strangers following the women, and no one stepped forward to stop them.

This couldn't possibly be an act of seeing them; it could only be that they couldn't see the three people.

Dongfang Zichu wanted to test whether those people really couldn't see them or what was going on, so he floated in front of a servant and waved in front of him. The servant didn't react at all, not even blinking, and it really didn't seem like he could see him.

When Dongfang Zichu was about to land on his shoulder, he suddenly fell down. He was startled for a moment, and Sheng Ze and Sun Youlin, who were watching Dongfang Zichu's movements, were also surprised.

Sun Youlin walked over to a nearby guard and patted him, but missed him. “Are these people illusions?”

If it was an illusion, it would make sense that we couldn't see the three of them. Then how could they see Ling Yan'er?

Sheng Ze also said: "No wonder there are so many people here, but there are no other footsteps or breathing sounds besides us. I thought they were puppets before."

After all, Ling Yan'er had said before that it was a paper man who lifted her veil, so he had preconceived notions that these were all paper puppets. It was reasonable that paper puppets made no sound because they were light in weight, but he didn't expect that it was actually an illusion.

So it is reasonable that these people cannot see them. These illusions should only be able to see Ling Yan'er, or perhaps not just Ling Yan'er, but any such young lady.
