Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Guan Xun: ... ...

It would be a lie to say she wasn't embarrassed at all. She coughed lightly, concealing the greed in her eyes, and looked away.

“Master, this person… no, he is not human.” Chi Rong’s voice rang out in his mind at just the right moment.

“Indeed, he doesn’t count as a person.” Guan Xun nodded in agreement. Who would say such a thing in front of so many people?

Before Chi Rong could explain, the thing swung its giant tail, carrying countless debris, and slammed it towards them again.

Even the carefree boy was almost swept away before he could react.

The dust and sand had long since dissipated, and now there were roads in all directions. She glanced at the thing with some regret, then leaped out of the academy without looking back.

Fine, if there's no chance, then retreat. One day, the inner core will all be hers; that's how confident she is.

The moment the purple-robed youth landed, the elders and the dean rushed over to greet him.

"Lord Bai?" the dean called out loudly, his gaze sweeping around the academy, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "The Imperial Tutor isn't here?"

Seeing that Guan Xun actually leaped over the high wall and ran out, Bai Liao didn't have much time to pay attention to them. He waved to them, signaling them to stop the thing.

Then, he hurriedly said, "You can't go out. If you go out, this thing will follow you!"

Guan Xun tilted her head and looked at him. Oh, so he knows she's been targeted? This guy is something else.

"Master, this is a demonic beast, just in human form." Chi Rong paused, then added, "It should be of a very high level; I can't tell..."

"So that's what you meant when you said it wasn't human?" Guan Xun was somewhat surprised; she hadn't noticed anything amiss.

"Of course, what else would it be...?"

"Can you reseal it?" Guan Xun turned to ask the boy below.

"That's for sure." Bai Liao raised his chin, a hint of pride in his voice.

"If that's the case, then you can just seal it. If it's chasing me, how can I not run away?" Guan Xun raised his eyebrows, looking as if it were perfectly reasonable.

“If we leave this area, it will be difficult for us to seal it, and the surrounding people may also suffer.” Bai Liao looked very troubled, his brows furrowed.

"What does it have to do with me?"

The words that came out of his mouth stunned everyone around him, and Bai Liao opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment.

Chi Rong, however, quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Master, it's about spiritual energy and cultivation! I don't even have a physical body yet, let's keep a low profile."

"The spiritual energy here is quite abundant. What if the academy kicks you out for being inhuman because of this?! We can be arrogant again after I've rebuilt my physical body!"

Guan Xun, who was already puzzled by everyone's reaction, understood why they were acting this way after hearing Chi Rong's words.

Her eyelids twitched, and she nodded without hesitation: "It's safe here, I'll stay right here."

Bai Liao looked hesitant, staring at the person standing on the wall as if afraid that the other person would run away at any moment.

"If you don't make a move soon, the elders won't be able to stop you." Meeting his gaze, Guan Xun spoke in a deep voice, seemingly a little dazed, unsure whether this man was just boasting or truly capable.

She was positioned in this spot to observe the seal's condition, and if anything seemed amiss, she would immediately take off running.

Without hesitation, Bai Liao saw that the elders were about to collapse, so he quickly turned around and rushed over there.

The Imperial Tutor only told him to release the thing, not to let it actually destroy the academy. If it continued to cause trouble, it would really get into serious trouble.

Looking at the people who were once again engaged in battle in the distance, Guan Xun noticed that the invisible spiritual power used by Bai Liao was so powerful that it could even cause ripples in the air.

She lowered her eyes and said in a softer voice, "Can you tell what kind of monster he is?"

"I can't tell, but it's definitely a relatively gentle monster." Chi Rong moved swiftly and landed on Guan Xun's shoulder.

"You know this as well?"

"Just look at how he uses spiritual power, it's so weak," Chi Rong snorted, speaking with a hint of disdain.

Guan Xun's lips curled up slightly, and he didn't say anything more. His eyes were fixed on the scene in front of him, his gaze fixed on the small, dark blue flame in Bai Liao's hand.

The flame looked particularly out of place in his hand, as if it wasn't his to begin with, but rather... borrowed.

The enormous creature seemed to be afraid of the dark blue flames. The same golden spiritual energy net bound it within, but it no longer had the ferocious aura it had last time. Instead, as the flames approached, it actually began to dodge.

Bai Liao raised the flame in his hand and threw it down towards the golden spiritual energy net. The dark blue light instantly spread along the net's pattern, quickly covering the entire golden net!

The thing inside, which had been fidgeting a bit, suddenly froze in fear.

"After the elders send it back, they can simply cover the cracks in the wall with this net that's covering the flames, and it will repair them."

After speaking, the elders nodded heavily, their expressions still tense, and they carried the object towards the woods.

Only when the colossal creature completely disappeared into the air did everyone dare to relax. The students and teachers were covered in dust and dirt, extremely frightened. They stood up, looked at the mess in the courtyard, and stared at each other in dismay.

The dean turned his gaze away from the distance, let out a long sigh, and instructed the teachers and students, "Call all the students outside back."

After the group hurriedly left, he nodded to Bai Liao to express his gratitude, then glanced around with utter helplessness.

"Fortunately, Lord Bai arrived in time. I just don't know what's wrong with that thing today, that it's trying to break through no matter what." Then, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said, "And the high wall of the Mountain God Pavilion broke for no reason. That was personally formed by the Imperial Tutor!"

After hearing this, Bai Liao touched his nose and started rambling: "There are always unexpected things. That flame was a gift from the Imperial Tutor and can also reinforce the high wall. I suppose similar situations will not happen again in the future."

The dean listened attentively and nodded earnestly, finally able to completely relax.

Bai Liao turned his head, his gaze falling on the figure jumping down from the wall, a solemn expression spreading across his face: "However, I think this thing's madness is related to that student."

The serious tone made the dean's relaxed body tense up again. Following the other person's gaze, he saw a girl in white bending down and patting the dust off her skirt.

Recalling the figure that had been darting around like a monkey, he suddenly realized that the creature had indeed ignored everyone else and kept charging at that student.

"She must have something on her that could drive that creature mad."

The dean immediately became alert and hurriedly asked, "Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know." Bai Liao shook his head and said with a serious expression, "She is a menace to the academy now, and keeping her here would probably make it difficult to repair the seal."

The dean turned to look at the distant woods. Seeing that the elders had not yet returned, his expression grew serious. One such incident was enough; he dared not imagine the consequences if it happened again.

"Is Lord Bai certain?" he asked again. In any case, they were all students of the academy, and he couldn't judge a person's character so easily.

Bai Liao shook his head, looking inscrutable: "The Imperial Tutor will surely know. I'll have him take a look for her and he'll know."

The dean remained silent for a moment, then nodded, ultimately prioritizing the overall situation.

White dresses are prone to getting dusty, and with this commotion, the hem of the dress became filthy. Guan Xun patted it, but seeing that it wasn't clean, he had no choice but to give up.

She looked up and saw Bai Liao walking towards her with his hands behind his back, a smile playing on his lips... She felt uneasy no matter how she looked at him.

"What are you doing?" she asked coldly.

“It’s already sealed.” Bai Liao raised an eyebrow, tilted his chin slightly, and gestured for her to look in the direction of the dean.

Guan Xun looked over suspiciously, only to see the dean nodding heavily at her with great certainty. She frowned, wondering what the old man was doing, so inexplicable.

Just as she was about to ask something, the purple figure in front of her suddenly flickered.

The next second, when she finally reacted, she realized that her feet had left the ground, and her body was hanging in mid-air...

Bai Liao's cheerful and loud voice rang out above her head, echoing in the air above the academy for a long time.

"I'm taking this menace with me."
