Qin Xiyun's sharp shout made all the deans on the field stop what they were doing and look in the direction Qin Xiyun was facing, but they couldn't see her. However, they were all convinced that Qin Xiyun, one of the six guardians of the Extreme Fire Academy, would not make a mistake.

For a moment, the scene was completely silent, as if the air itself had frozen. Because of the bushes, Su Yang and the other two could not see their movements clearly, nor did they know who the woman in red was speaking to, so they all remained silent.

As the person failed to appear for a long time, Qin Xiyun's patience gradually ran out. She gathered elemental power in her hands, preparing to launch an attack directly. In her eyes, anyone who could not be detected by her was definitely a master of equal skill level. The empire could not possibly be without such people.

Just as she was about to attack, a man rushed out of the doorway, cursing all the while. It was Wan Zixiu. He had seen Tang Wan and Su Yang's departing figures, and then he broke free from his master and chased after them.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he saw many deans and a woman in red staring at him. Turning his head, he saw Tang Wan and the other two standing to the side. He was furious and didn't care about anything else. He raised his hand to strike out the elemental power that had gathered on the road. But just as he raised his hand, an extremely sharp attack was already at his face. It was an attack from Qin Xiyun.

When Qin Xiyun was about to attack Su Yang's location, she sensed an elemental fluctuation coming towards her. Then she saw Wan Zixiu appear at the doorway, along with the elemental power that had already been condensed in his hand. Without thinking much, her first reaction was to regard Wan Zixiu as a potential enemy. Therefore, the elemental power that was about to attack Su Yang went straight for Wan Zixiu's face.

Directly attacked by a sixth-tier, second-level elementalist, Wan Zixiu was naturally unable to withstand the attack and was instantly sent flying against the wall. His body was covered with thorns, and as the thorns pierced his body, their color changed from green to red. He felt his blood rapidly draining away, but the intense pain prevented him from speaking. In an instant, his whole body turned deathly pale, while bright red flowers bloomed on the thorns.

Su Yang witnessed this entire scene and recognized it as an attack using the wood element. He couldn't help but gasp in shock. Such a vicious attack coming from the wood element, which possesses healing abilities, was unprecedented, but it was enough to demonstrate the user's ruthlessness.

After eliminating the sudden uncertainty, Qin Xiyun turned her attention back to the direction she couldn't detect and slowly said, "If you don't show yourself, you'll end up like him!"

After hearing this, Su Yang quietly asked Tang Wan, who was standing next to him, "Who are they talking to?"

Tang Wan had also witnessed Wan Zixiu's tragic death. Although she was terrified, she clearly judged that the woman in red was speaking to the three of them. She tried to suppress her fear and replied, "It seems...it seems like she was talking to us?"

"Huh?" Su Yang was very puzzled. He hadn't done anything, so why was he suddenly going to attack him?

"Why don't we go outside and explain things clearly?" Tang Wan was frightened. Someone who could kill Wan Zixiu in one blow and be accompanied by all the deans must be a powerful expert from the capital.

The three quickly discussed the matter, and then Tang Wan led the way, slowly emerging from behind the bushes and standing in everyone's sight. Qin Xiyun frowned upon seeing them; she hadn't expected three people to appear, and a sense of panic washed over her. Anyone capable of making three people evade her detection at the same time must be far stronger than herself.

"This is troublesome..." Qin Xiyun sighed inwardly, but tried her best to remain calm. Before she could speak, Zhou Changning, the dean of Yanbo Academy, asked, "Tang Wan? What are you doing here? Who is with you?"

"Dean...Dean, these two are my friends. I brought them in for a visit with the Dean of Nursing's permission, and they were just about to leave," Tang Wan said softly.

"If there's nothing else, leave quickly," Zhou Changning urged.

"Wait." Qin Xiyun stopped the group that was about to make a move, then turned to Zhou Changning and asked, "Students from Yanbo Academy?"

"Yes, sir," Zhou Changning replied respectfully, not daring to be negligent.

Qin Xiyun pondered for a while. She remembered Lin Anlan. When the Empire was preparing to recruit elites from its own adventurers to join the Imperial Army, she had seen Lin Anlan's portrait and intelligence in the report. He was only close to the sixth level of elementalist. With this in mind, she was certain that the man was the expert who could block her detection.

Having made up her mind, she then spoke, "This young master looks unfamiliar. May I ask where you come from?"

"Ask me?" Su Yang's eyes met Qin Xiyun's, and he knew she was asking him. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Why are you asking me? What does it have to do with me? I'm just here for the fun..."

"My lord, we are adventurers who have just passed through Qingfeng County and had the good fortune to meet..." Lin Anlan could tell that the woman in front of him was not a kind person, and was about to answer for Su Yang when Qin Xiyun ruthlessly interrupted him.

"I didn't ask you to answer!"

Qin Xiyun prepared to unleash her elemental pressure on Lin Anlan, but considering the presence of this man, she figured it wouldn't be very effective, so she gave up. Then, she softly looked at Su Yang and asked, "May I ask where you come from, young master?"

Although he did not feel Qin Xiyun's elemental pressure, the aura of someone who had long held a superior position still made Lin Anlan tremble in his heart and stop speaking. Tang Wan had also lowered her head in fear and seemed to be hiding behind Su Yang. Therefore, Su Yang had no choice but to face Qin Xiyun directly.

"Uh, I'm from out of town."

"How many days do you plan to stay in Qingfeng County, young master?"

"Uh, about ten days or so," Su Yang replied, then immediately thought to himself, "What kind of questions are these? How am I supposed to know how long I'll be staying?"

"After leaving Qingfeng County, do you have any adventure plans? Where do you intend to go?"

"have no idea..."

"Has the young master ever been to Huaijing?"

"No... but I'd like to..."

Qin Xiyun had originally planned not to make an enemy of Su Yang here for the time being, and to wait until she found out Su Yang's background and specific strength before making further plans, either to win him over to join the empire or to eliminate him as soon as possible. However, after hearing that Su Yang had plans to go to Huaijing, she immediately made up her mind. She then flew a flower towards Su Yang and said, "Young master, why don't you accept this letter? We can meet again in Huaijing in the future."

The flower was incredibly fast, but it was blocked by the cloud barrier a meter in front of Su Yang, losing all its momentum and slowly drifting to the ground. Su Yang took a step forward, bent down and picked up the bright red flower. He saw that there was nothing on the flower except for a special mark.

Su Yang looked up, wanting to ask something, but Qin Xiyun and the other deans had already stepped out of the mansion and left. Helpless, Su Yang could only put the flower away and deal with it later when he went to Huaijing.
