Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 61 Monster Clan Text

The words were somewhat ambiguous.

However, Luo Qingfeng did not let his imagination run wild; instead, a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

Is this something I need his help with?

Given this woman's status and position, what could possibly require the help of a new disciple who has just entered the Demon Suppression Academy?

Clearly, things are not so simple.

Luo Qingfeng did not answer immediately, but silently followed behind him up to the fourth floor.

Upstairs, the bookshelves and books are still there.

Bai Ruofei, trailing a wide gray robe, walked through the carpeted corridor toward the innermost row of bookshelves.

She stopped in front of the bookshelf in the corner and took out a thick book.

The book had no cover and looked damaged.

The book was yellowed and seemed to be only half left. Judging from the broken edge, it looked as if someone had forcefully torn it in half from the middle.

Luo Qingfeng followed closer, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Ruofei opened the tattered book, her cool eyes flashing in the darkness. She handed the book to him and said, "Help me see what's written on it."

Luo Qingfeng took the book and began to read it carefully.

The yellowed pages were covered with dense, strange characters. Upon closer inspection, they looked like ants crawling on the pages, or like miniature animals, bizarre and grotesque, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"This is……"

Luo Qingfeng read a few lines, then looked up with a bewildered expression.

Bai Ruofei stared into his eyes and said, "You don't recognize me?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head.

Bai Ruofei's expression was aloof. She stared at him for a while before speaking calmly, "If you can help me recognize him, I can grant you three conditions, any condition."

Luo Qingfeng looked down again and shook his head once more: "Senior Bai, I really don't know him."

Then, he couldn't help but say, "The writing on this doesn't seem to be the writing of my Great Yan."

Bai Ruofei paused for a moment, then looked at the book in his hand and said, "It's in the script of the demon race."

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback: "Demon race?"

Bai Ruofei's gaze returned to him, as if she could see through his pupils and into his heart, and she asked again, "You really don't recognize me?"

Luo Qingfeng bowed his head respectfully and said, "This disciple swears that I really don't know him."

Bai Ruofei stared into his eyes, remaining silent for a long time before suddenly asking, "Then who taught you your 'Crimson Blade' sword technique?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng was startled and looked up at her.

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "I did spy on you. Since you live here, I have the right to spy on you."

Luo Qingfeng opened his mouth but remained silent.

Bai Ruofei continued, "In the entire Great Yan, very few people recognize this sword technique, not even more than three, and no one has ever practiced it."

Luo Qingfeng looked at her with suspicion, hoping she could provide an explanation.

To be honest, he was also very curious about this sword technique and "Crimson Thorn".

However, Bai Ruofei didn't say anything more. She took the book from his hand, glanced at it, and said calmly, "You don't have to tell me your secret, and I don't want to ask. But I hope you can help me recognize the words in this book."

Luo Qingfeng frowned, then looked down at the strange characters in the book and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Bai, this disciple really doesn't recognize them. This disciple has never seen these characters before, and this is the first time I've seen them today."

Bai Ruofei remained silent for a long time after hearing this, and without saying anything more, she put the book back on the bookshelf and said indifferently, "Go down."

Luo Qingfeng bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

Bai Ruofei watched his retreating figure, a look of daze appearing on her face.

Luo Qingfeng went downstairs, put all the books away, and returned to his room. He wanted to practice his swordsmanship again, but thinking that he might be spied on at any time, he had to give up.

He sat cross-legged by the window and began to absorb the power of the stars.

It seems like it's time to find a place to live.

Not only is it inconvenient to cultivate here, but I'm also constantly being spied on, and the other party even has the audacity to say, "Since you live here, I have the right to spy on you."

He didn't want to live under constant surveillance.

Also, could it be that "The Blade of the Crimson Moon" and "The Crimson Thorn" are both demonic cultivation techniques?

Otherwise, if the other party peeked at it, why would they think he recognized those demon characters?

However, the memories in his mind showed that both manuals were written in human language, without those strange characters.

If it truly is a demonic cultivation technique, then that red jade, and Zhao'er...

Thinking this way, he immediately lost the will to cultivate.

After letting his mind wander, he felt a bit tired. The wound on his back was too deep, and although it had begun to heal, he still needed to rest.

He got up and went to bed, but his thoughts were still wandering even after he lay down.

If Zhao'er was related to the demon race, how could she have been burned to death so easily? Moreover, after the fire, there was not a trace of a corpse in the ruins except for Hongyu. Was it burned so cleanly?

Or is it that she actually... didn't die?

Thinking of this, he suddenly sat up.

After a while.

He lay down again.

If Zhao'er really didn't die, how could she just disappear without a trace?

Or is there another reason?

Lost in these random thoughts, I finally drifted off to sleep around midnight.

In his dazed state, he suddenly felt the window open.

A gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver.

He opened his eyes, preparing to get up and close the window, when he suddenly noticed a red figure standing beside the bed! Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a figure dressed in a bright red wedding robe and wearing a red veil!

A cold wind blew by.

Beneath the red veil, a pointed chin and a strange smile appeared on her lips!

Luo Qingfeng was startled and sat up abruptly.

Outside the window, it was already daylight.

Luo Qingfeng sat on the bed, breathing heavily.

It was just a dream.

This dream was clearly not caused by demons, but rather by his wild thoughts last night.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood there for a while, then got out of bed and went to open the window.

Outside the window, the morning sun is rising.

A ray of sunlight fell upon him, bathing him in a warm glow.

As he gazed into the distance, reflecting on the events of the previous night, he suddenly realized that something seemed to have been added to his memory.

Think back carefully.

The strange characters I saw in that tattered book on the fourth floor last night are now appearing in my mind one by one, becoming incredibly clear and familiar!

"In the second year of Yuanzhao, I traveled alone with a sword down the river by boat and arrived at White Ape City. There I saw... the other party was extremely arrogant and cruel by nature. At the banquet, there was human flesh. In the program, humans and wild beasts were imprisoned together in iron cages and torn apart..."

I can now recognize all those strange characters I saw last night!

Luo Qingfeng looked completely stunned.

What happened?

I didn't know them at all last night, but after sleeping with them, I suddenly know them all?

He immediately looked inward and his gaze fell on the mysterious red bead in the sea of ​​yin energy.

There can't be any other reason besides that.

Could this red bead really be some kind of rare treasure of the demon race?

As he was deep in thought, Granny Ning's icy voice suddenly came from downstairs: "Luo Qingfeng, someone from the South Courtyard is looking for you!"

"South Campus?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng immediately put on his coat and went downstairs.

Is that Nightingale?

But when he stepped out the door, he discovered that it was Yuan Tong and his son, along with a steward from the North Courtyard.

He had seen that steward from the North Courtyard in the attic at the entrance that day; he must be in charge of recruiting new disciples.

Luo Qingfeng stepped forward and bowed to him, saying, "Disciple Luo Qingfeng greets Steward."

The thin, middle-aged man nodded and said calmly, "My name is Wan Jiang, a steward of the Human Rank Department of the Northern Courtyard. We met the other day. I've come to see you today because I have something to ask you. You must tell the truth and not hide anything!"

Luo Qingfeng bowed his head and said, "Please speak, Steward Wan."

Wan Jiang asked seriously, "Where were you during the day the day before yesterday?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I will cultivate in the courtyard."

Wan Jiang frowned and said, "Tell me the exact location!"

Luo Qingfeng said, "In the bamboo forest beside Biyue Lake."

Wan Jiang then asked, "Are there any witnesses?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "I am new to the Demon Suppression Academy and have no friends, so I cultivate alone."

Yuan Tong, who was standing to the side, immediately let out a cold laugh.

Wan Jiang narrowed his eyes and asked again, "You were there all day?"

Luo Qingfeng replied, "Yes."

Wan Jiang stared at him for a moment, then said sternly, "Luo Qingfeng, I expect you to tell the truth. If it is discovered that you are lying, you will be immediately expelled from the Demon Suppression Academy and never be employed again!"

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and said, "Every word I have said is true."

Wan Jiang looked at him but didn't say anything more.

Yuan Tong suddenly said coldly, "Deacon Wan, just take off his clothes and check him, and you'll know whether he's real or not."

Wan Jiang frowned slightly.

Yuan Tong cupped his hands and said, "I know this is somewhat insulting to your disciples, but Steward Wan should know that the main academy has a rule that those who accept any mission first have priority. My son accepted the mission from the Great Buddha Temple first and had already formed a team to go there, but it was secretly taken away. Moreover, Abbot Yunhai said that the other party was also from my Demon Suppression Academy, so this matter is not just a matter for my Southern Academy. We must investigate it thoroughly."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly looked at him and said, "So you just grab someone randomly and want to strip them and search them? You suspect me, but do you have any evidence?"

Yuan Tong sneered, "You're the most suspicious, so naturally I'll investigate you first! If you have nothing to hide, then take off your clothes and let us check you; that will clear your name!"

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands towards Wan Jiang and said, "Steward Wan, is he going to humiliate my disciple in public based solely on his words, without any evidence?"

Wan Jiang looked at him and said, "That day, you should at least have a witness who can prove that you were cultivating in the courtyard and did not go anywhere else. If you have no witness, and you do have a reason to need that Golden Lotus under the Buddha, and judging from the height and build described by the monks in the temple, then you are indeed the most suspicious."

Luo Qingfeng stopped speaking.

Yuan Fang, standing to the side, sneered, "Luo Qingfeng, are you going to take off your clothes yourself, or do I have to do it for you?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at him and said, "What if I don't take it off?"

Yuan Fang's face revealed a mocking smile: "That's not up to you! Then I'll have to help you myself!"

Then he sneered, "Of course, you can risk your life and resist to the end. You are from the North Courtyard, so we really don't dare to do anything to you. But what about Nightingale? The monks in the temple said that it was a man and a woman, and you and Nightingale are the most suspicious! If you clear your name, we will naturally not examine her anymore. But if you insist on not disrobing, hmph, then we will have no choice but to examine her first."

Looking at his smug and sinister face, Luo Qingfeng slowly clenched his fist.

Yuan Fang looked at him with a cold smile, as if he had him completely under his control.

At this moment, Luo Qingfeng turned around and walked into the pavilion.

Wan Jiang immediately shouted, "Luo Qingfeng! What are you doing?"

Luo Qingfeng ignored him and walked straight to Granny Ning inside. He cupped his hands and said, "Please trouble Granny to go up and tell Senior Bai that I am willing to help with what happened on the fourth floor last night."

Granny Ning was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then immediately shouted coldly towards the door, "Anyone who dares to step inside, I'll kill them with one palm!"

As she spoke, a terrifying aura emanated from her.

The three people who were about to chase after them suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Wan Jiang's expression changed, and he quickly said to the two people beside him, "Don't come any closer, retreat immediately."

The three of them immediately stepped down the stairs.

Upon seeing this, Granny Ning turned cold and quickly went upstairs.
