Daily life in the academy

Bai Zhi endured the pain all over her body and ran down the mountain desperately. She was not sure how long Yan Qingchen could hold on, and that there might be accomplices arriving. She could only pray in her heart that nothing would happen to Yan Qingchen, and that he would have to wait until she called for help, or that he would find a chance to escape before that.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis loomed, and Bai Zhi keenly felt the movement behind her. She subconsciously turned around and found two black figures chasing her not far away. For a moment, her heart rose to her throat. That person's companion had returned.

Bai Zhi didn't dare look back and just kept running forward, while her brain was working fast to think of countermeasures. There was an earthquake in Jiaojia Village, and the teachers and Bai Lian must have been in danger. Maybe they reacted immediately and organized disaster relief, and then found out that she and Yan Qingchen were missing. If she was missing, the academy might not be so anxious, but it would be different for Yan Qingchen. The academy would definitely make every effort to search for her after discovering her, so maybe they could give it a try.

"Help, help!" Bai Zhi shouted at the top of her voice.

"Help! Someone's been murdered! Prince Yan is dying... Is there anyone here?"

The two people who were chasing Bai Zhi heard his shouting and thought that something was wrong. They had to catch up with him and kill him. They looked at each other, and then separated to the left and right to prepare to encircle him.

"Murder! Help! Prince Yan is dying..."

Baizhi shouted with all her might, and her voice echoed in the mountains and forests.

However, the response Bai Zhi was expecting never appeared, and the black shadow chasing her was getting closer and closer. The black shadow on the right side arrived first and quickly drew his sword to intercept. The sword wind came whistling, and she screamed and ducked to avoid the sword, but was tripped by the branches under her feet and rolled down the slope.

"Ah - help, someone is killing someone." The screams continued.

Mu Bai, who was following the crowd in the forest searching for someone, twitched his ears, pulled Lin Chong beside him, and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"

Lin Chong heard this and held his breath to listen. He vaguely heard someone shouting. He carefully identified the source of the sound and said a little excitedly, "Master Mu, I heard it. It's in the north."

Mu Bailian turned around and called out loudly: "Master Fu, Lin Chong and I just heard someone shouting in the north. I'll go over and take a look first, and you guys follow." After saying that, without waiting for Fu Lang's response, he ran towards the mountain in the north.

"Ah...this kid..." Fu Lang shook his head helplessly, then called to the students behind him, "Let's go and take a look."

Just as Bai Zhi had regained her balance, a dark figure from the right rushed over, raising its hand and thrusting a sword at the lying Bai Zhi. In the nick of time, she used all her strength to roll to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. The sword struck the ground with a crisp clang, sending up a shower of gravel.

Bai Zhi's heart was beating as violently as a drum at this time. She endured the severe pain in her body, grabbed a handful of gravel on the ground with both hands, and quickly climbed up, shouting for help and murder.

The left and right shadows merged together, staring at Bai Zhi like two gods of death, and at the same time stabbed at Bai Zhi with sharp sword moves. In a flash, she threw gravel with force. Although it failed to cause actual damage, it disrupted the rhythm of the left and right shadows. The sword light on the right passed through Bai Zhi's arm, cutting her clothes and arm. Even so, Bai Zhi still found a gap to escape, and she turned around and fled again.

But due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, Bai Zhi was soon caught up again. This time there was no obstruction, and two sword lights pierced straight into her chest.

Bai Zhi subconsciously closed her eyes and stopped struggling. She had only one thought at this moment: Damn it, this is not a decent way to die, it's too painful.

"stop."

At the same time as the sound came flying, two pieces of gravel hit the sword that was stabbing at Bai Zhi with the precision of a meteor. The swords in the hands of the black shadows on the left and right were knocked off course, and Bai Zhi also reacted quickly and dodged the attack by moving to the side.

Mu Bailian quickly pulled Bai Zhi behind him, his eyes full of vigilance, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill Azhi?" His body was also ready to fight the two of them.

With the arrival of Mu Bailian, the noise caused by Fu Lang and his students also came over. The two black shadows looked at each other, turned around quickly, and retreated to the cave they came from.

Seeing the two people walking away, Mu Bailian turned around and asked with concern: "Azhi, are you okay?"

Bai Zhi panted heavily and waved her hands. After a while, she finally recovered. Then she immediately pulled Mu Bailian and ran in the direction the two men in black had left. "I'm fine, but Brother Yan is still over there in the cave. He's also being surrounded and his situation isn't much better."

Mu Bailian grabbed Bai Zhi and looked at his injured arm and said, "Azhi, you meet up with Master Fu here. I'll go find Brother Yan." There was an unquestionable look in his eyes. After he finished speaking, he chased in the direction where the two men in black left without looking back.

...

After dozens or even hundreds of blows, Yan Qingchen was covered with wounds of varying sizes. At this point, he was already at the end of his strength, and all the wooden boxes in the cave were carried down the mountain by this group of men in black.

The leader seemed to have foreseen Yan Qingchen's inevitable death. He sneered, "It seems that the famous Prince Yan of Sheng'an is no more than this. You will not pose any threat to the master in the future."

The sword in his hand stabbed straight at Yan Qingchen's chest, but unexpectedly, he exchanged injuries and avoided the fatal blow.

Yan Qingchen groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. He used his knife to support his falling body and stared at the leader. "Since you're going to kill me anyway, why not let me guess who your master is?"

In the animal world, cruel hunters always like to play with dying prey to satisfy their special fetishes. The leader seemed to be no exception. He looked at Yan Qingchen with the eyes of a dead person and slowly approached step by step. "Then I will fulfill your dying wish. Tell me, and if you get it wrong, I will stab you with my sword."

"Your master is Prince Gong."

"Prince Yan, you are so bold to guess." The leader said, and stabbed Yan Qingchen's left shoulder with a sword.

"Ugh..." Yan Qingchen groaned again, the knife in his hand could no longer support him. He fell to the ground suddenly, slowed down and continued: "King Qi..."

Before the leader's knife fell, a hurried voice was heard.

"Boss... Boss... It's bad. There are a lot of people coming. We have to evacuate quickly."
