Xu Yichen saw the dean's solemn expression, and knew that what he was going to say next must be unusual, and the purpose of his cultivation was only to find a way to go home as soon as possible, and he was not very willing to have anything to do with troublesome things.

"That, Dean, this disciple has no cultivation talent, and he is relatively dull, so he is not the right person to entrust the task, or would you like to change it?"

Lin Shanyue's expression did not become gloomy as Xu Yichen thought, but said with a smile:

"Well, what you said also has some truth, since you don't have the talent to cultivate, and your head is not very good, plus you openly contradict the teacher, then you will leave the academy tomorrow, although this academy is free, but it does not raise idlers. ”

“？？？”

Damn, no, I just want to find a way home quietly!

Lin Shanyue seemed to remember something and added:

"Oh yes, after you leave the Academy, I'll find someone to spread the rumor that your kid has a high-grade spirit weapon, and by the way, I will also tell you that you only have a Qi refining period of cultivation. Don't worry, the rumors stop at the wise, and there shouldn't be much of a problem!"

What the f...... What does it mean that rumors stop at the wise, you spread the fact that this hero only cultivates in the Qi refining period, most people will come with the mentality of trying it, and what else is it that there is no big problem, and the dead are not a big problem?

Xu Yichen's original gratitude to Dean Lin in his heart was now gone, and he had even cordially greeted the old man's relatives in front of him in his heart.

Lin Shanyue was not in a hurry, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, and drank the tea leisurely, his leisurely expression looked very inadequate.

Xu Yichen thought for a moment, and sighed helplessly, there is no way, this fight can't be beaten, and the trick can't be played, so he has to admit it obediently.

Immediately, he said to Lin Shanyue with a flattering face:

"That, although the disciple is not talented and a little dull, he is diligent, as the saying goes, good diligence can make up for clumsiness, right, so I think I can rely on my diligence to complete the task assigned to me by the dean!"

Speaking of which, Xu Yichen was already full of righteous indignation, and patted his chest and swore in front of Dean Lin, which made Lin Shanyue cry and laugh a little.

Lin Shanyue coughed lightly, interrupted Xu Yichen's passionate performance, and said:

"Okay, don't act there with me, sit down and get down to business!"

Xu Yichen smiled a little embarrassedly, sat back in his chair and quietly waited for the dean's next words.

Lin Shanyue put down the teacup in his hand and said:

"This matter still has to start with the fact that you were attacked by the ghost wolf, after you and Wang Rou dealt with the ghost wolf, Elder Chang Shan and they went to the stronghold to investigate the situation, but they found that the stronghold itself was still intact, but the personnel who were originally stationed in the stronghold disappeared!"

"Gone, was it attacked by a monster?"

Lin Shanyue shook his head and said:

"There were no obvious signs of fighting in the stronghold or even around the stronghold, and it was as if these people had disappeared out of thin air. ”

"Doesn't the academy have regular contact with the base once a month, did you find anything unusual during the last contact?"

"Every month when you go to collect barren grass, the students who lead the team will contact the personnel of the stronghold, and the strange thing is that Chang Chao, the student who contacted the stronghold last month, was bombarded into a pulp by someone in the Assault Fist Gate the day after your accident. ”

Xu Yichen's face was incredulous, and the answer he came up with after thinking for a while surprised him even more.

"Could it be that ... There's a mole inside the academy?"

"It's just that this is possible, and we have also notified the other three major academies that a similar situation has occurred in their strongholds!"

"I really don't know what it's all about?"

"Probably for the stuff behind you. ”

After Xu Yichen heard this, he turned his head and saw that the copper-colored alchemy furnace was full of gray-colored barren grass.

"The purpose is to barren grass?"

Lin Shanyue nodded and said:

"Well, the amount of barren grass collected in recent times is far lower than in the past, and there are not only a lot of barren grass, but also countless pills made of it, so I can't judge what it is used for in a short time!"

Xu Yichen nodded in affirmation, there is a clear record in the "Elementary Alchemy Minutes", barren grass, growing at the junction of the human race and the demon beast clan east of the Demon City, there are a lot of them, and there are countless pills made of this material.

"Then I wonder what the Dean needs me to do?"

Lin Shanyue didn't answer immediately, but took a sip of tea with a smile, and then slowly spoke:

"I hope you can get the top three in this competition, so that you can go down the mountain to carry out the mission as a matter of course, and secretly investigate the matter during your mission. ”

Xu Yichen's face was embarrassed, he was still living in modern times, he was notoriously afraid of trouble, if it weren't for some troubles that had to be faced and solved, he would generally choose to escape. At present, this matter just sounds like a big trouble, but if he doesn't agree, the seemingly pleasant old man in green shirt in front of him will bring him even more trouble, and that trouble may kill him.

is the so-called lesser of two evils, after a moment of deliberation, Xu Yichen showed a flattering look on his face:

"Dean, you have told your disciple so, where is there any reason for the disciple to refuse, but the disciple only has the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Qi refining period, I am afraid it will be difficult to stand out in the competition. ”

Lin Shanyue didn't know what he was thinking when he saw Xu Yichen's expression, and said angrily:

"I know you will say this, I have a copy of the Intermediate Spiritual Power Cultivation Method of the Easy Academy here, if you cultivate according to this, although it will not greatly improve your cultivation, it can increase the lethality of the sword technique you use. ”

As he spoke, Lin Shanyue took out a simple blue book from his loose long sleeves and gently threw it to Xu Yichen.

Xu Yichen picked up the book, and on the cover of the book, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with the three big characters of "Tianxin Jue".

"Okay, it's not too early, you can stay in this Purple Mountain Pavilion and practice with the vice dean for the rest of the time!"

The old man in the green shirt stood up and pushed the door open.

He walked slowly to the pavilion, and the sound of the woman in the green shirt did not stop because of his arrival.

"Just give this kid the "Heavenly Heart Formula", aren't you afraid that kid is also a member of the Demon Sect?"

The old man shook his head with a smile and did not answer the woman's question:

"Senior sister, this kid will trouble you next!"

After speaking, Lin Shanyue walked slowly towards the outside of the courtyard.

Looking at Lin Shanyue's distant back, Ziyun whispered:

"Could this kid really be your illegitimate child?"
