The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

After leaving Ye Yue's side, Su Qi led Mo Ling Su to the academy's training room.

Although he hadn't done any missions, he had a lot of points.

Don't ask, the answer is that it was extorted from Principal Gao Yi.

With a wave of his hand, Su Qi directly exchanged ten to half a month's usage time, went inside, and then set up an isolation formation.

Since there was no third person in the cultivation room, Mo Lingsu naturally did not need to continue maintaining her fox form.

With a dazzling flash of light, she transformed back into human form and looked at the sulking Su Qi, making no attempt to hide her schadenfreude.

"You were careless, weren't you? Serves you right for not taking me with you!"

Su Qi was just about to check what Ye Yue had done to him when he heard Mo Ling Su's words and immediately looked over.

"From what you're saying, you already knew she had tampered with me? Why didn't you warn me?"

Her cute face was puffed up slightly with anger.

Why should I remind you?

Mo Lingsu shrugged, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I didn't tell those women what you did to them. To be fair, I couldn't tell you if I discovered they'd tampered with you!"

As she spoke, she paid no heed to the fact that Su Qi was currently furious.

She sat down next to him and reached out her hand to his slightly puffed-up, soft cheeks.

"Don't touch me!"

Su Qi bared his teeth like an enraged wildcat.

"Tsk, don't move!"

Mo Lingsu pinched his chin with one hand to stop him from moving, and with the other hand reached up to grope Su Qi's head, finally grabbing a ladybug smaller than a grain of sand.

"Look, the ladybugs unique to the Western Regions can camouflage themselves with their colors and blend perfectly into various environments."

"This little guy has no other skills, but he is particularly good at hiding and disguising himself. If he is focused on hiding, even a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert will have a hard time finding him."

Mo Lingsu seemed to be marveling at the wonders of nature, holding the ladybug in her palm and admiring it closely.

"Despite being an extremely weak creature, it possesses a talent that many powerful beings envy. Creatures are truly amazing."

The ladybug spun in seven colors the instant it landed in my palm, and then vanished into thin air.

Su Qi tried to use his divine sense to search for it, but found that he could not sense the existence of the little insect at all.

He wouldn't dare say he understood the creatures unique to this continent, but he could confidently say that he knew absolutely nothing about them.

I never expected that I would almost capsize because of this little guy.

Seeing Mo Lingsu's cautious manner, he forgot about being angry and asked with curiosity.

Is this insect very rare?

"It is indeed very precious to ordinary cultivators, but to the Demon Saintess, just one word is enough for countless people to rush to send her this insect."

Pshaw, isn't that obvious?

Su Qi was speechless.

It's a well-known truth: what ordinary people consider family heirlooms are less valuable than chamber pots in the homes of the elite.

Before he could express his thoughts, Mo Lingsu squeezed hard and crushed the ladybug to death.

"Didn't you say it was very precious?"

"This ladybug has been refined into a Gu worm by Ye Yue. It will only recognize her as its master. Even if others obtain it, it will be useless to them!"

"Oh!"

Su Qi nodded thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, aren't you curious?" After cleaning her hands with a dust-removing spell, Mo Lingsu looked over leisurely.

"What are you curious about?"

Su Qi was filled with questions, wondering if he had forgotten something.

"I just said I wouldn't help either side, but now I've helped you find the ladybug. Aren't you curious why I'm so conflicted?"

"What's so curious about that?" Su Qi rolled his eyes.

"Although this insect is well hidden, if I wanted to find it, wouldn't I have found it? You were just doing me a favor, so don't expect me to thank you for it."

"Waaah... You've misunderstood me. My goal is actually quite simple. The sooner I find the bug for you, the more time I'll have to play with you!"

Finally, Mo Lingsu gave a wicked smile and suddenly leaned in to press down on him.

"Waaah... what... what do you want to do?"

"Yes I do!"

……

The next day, Su Qi, who had been tossing and turning all night, was awakened by the vibration of the communication jade.

I picked it up in a daze and answered the call.

"Hey, no house, no car, no loans, no investments, just save my mom in the end, thank you!"

After a long silence on the other end, a hoarse and weary voice came from the other side.

"Come to my office!"

Upon recognizing Li Chengping, Su Qi instantly snapped out of his daze. Before he could ask anything, the call was disconnected.

He stared blankly upwards, unable to recall for a long time what he had said when he answered the call.

Sure enough, doing that too often makes you forgetful.

He glanced at the little white fox clinging to his chest and immediately felt a surge of hatred that made his teeth itch.

Last night's battle came to an end when this woman, unable to defeat me, resorted to cheating, turning back into a fox and refusing to fight.

She was the one who started the fire, but...

Forget it, it's all tears if I keep talking about it!

……

"Dean!"

Upon arriving at the dean's office, seeing the door open, Su Qi greeted them and walked in.

Su Qi was stunned to see the once meticulous and handsome old man, Li Chengping, now looking somewhat disheveled.

"Dean, are you alright?"

Li Chengping, who was massaging his temples, opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Instead of answering the question, he stared intently at Su Qi and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Have you gotten any results from monitoring Lin Feng these past few days? What has he been doing?"

"In the last few days, Lin Feng went to the Demon Clan's territory and had a conflict with the witch Ye Yue. He was seriously injured and has been recuperating ever since."

Su Qi answered truthfully, wondering why the dean was asking this question.

Within the confines of White Tiger Academy, as the dean, wouldn't it be easy for him to find out Ye Feng's whereabouts with just a flick of his finger?

Do I still need to ask myself this?

Could it be... that he's testing me?

Su Qi began to recall if he had done anything suspicious recently.

Uh... okay, everything he does in private is suspicious.

But Li Chengping shouldn't know that.

Moreover, just like Ye Yue, even if Li Chengping knew about his recent activities, he had no reason to suspect him.

Those who committed those evil deeds were all incarnations of Su Qi, what does it have to do with the original Su Qi?

However, at this moment, the Li clan, having lost Ye Xinglan, is like a gambler who is about to lose all his chips. In order to make a last glimmer of hope for a comeback, they will bite anyone they can get their hands on.

Su Qi would be better off being cautious.

"He didn't leave the academy last night, did he?"

Hearing this, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The old man probably suspected that Ye Feng and his avatar had worked together to rescue Mu Xinglan, which was why he was asking about Ye Feng's whereabouts.

"no!"

Su Qi did not take the opportunity to make Ye Feng take the blame; this matter could be easily investigated, and lying was pointless.

Moreover, Ye Feng is still useful. Although the Li clan is extremely powerful, Su Qi does not believe they can capture Ye Feng.
