Chapter 81: The Last Step
readx;? Qingmen Lingtang, Lu Yifan was taken away by the black-clothed guard alone, the battle before the New Year's Festival was almost unknown to everyone in the Holy Soul Academy, and the one-on-one battle between Lu Yifan and Mu Ming was witnessed by countless people, so even if the black-clothed guard had the intention to trouble Ji Yuan and others today, he really couldn't find conclusive evidence.

Mu Ming's death is only related to Lu Yifan.
Lu Yifan was taken by the black-clothed guards to a rather empty secret room in the depths of the Vermilion Bird Palace, and then under Mo Bai's greeting, more than a dozen black-clothed guards who escorted Lu Yifan actually exited the room in turn, and finally even Mo Bai turned around and left the room after taking a meaningful look at Lu Yifan.
Lu Yifan heard that the door of the secret room was locked by Mo Bai from the outside, in fact, even if Mo Bai was not locked, Lu Yifan had no intention of escaping, he knew that in the Holy Soul Academy, no one could escape from Qiu Ming's eyes and ears.
There are only four sealed windows in the secret room, the faint sunlight shines in and forms a soothing white light and shadow on the empty ground, Lu Yifan stands in the center of the room and looks around, this secret room is ten meters square, there is not even a single furnishing, not even the least table and chair, the dark brown wooden floor has appeared a lot of decay, there is a thin layer of dust attached to the ground, and even the air exudes an indescribable bitter smell of dust, obviously, this secret room has not been entered for a long time。
After Lu Yifan scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and wondered for a long time, his already weak body no longer had the energy to support it, so he simply sat down on the ground with his knees crossed.
A soul core full of soul power in the Qi Sea Dantian is slowly rotating at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye, after these few days of cultivation, Lu Yifan's internal injuries have almost recovered, and the qi and blood meridians have gradually returned to normal, and even the soul power that was originally exhausted has slowly condensed again, all of which indicates that Lu Yifan's body is rapidly restoring towards its peak state.
"Poof!"
With a soft sound, a palm-sized crimson flame slowly rose from Lu Yifan's palm, as soon as the flame came out, Lu Yifan felt an extremely mild sense of comfort, he held his breath and condensed, and slowly sent the soul power in his body into the flame in his palm, only to see that this quiet flame gradually became active with the continuous influx of soul power, the light red flame was churning warmly, and the crimson fire heart flashed with dazzling light, it seemed to have a soul in front of Lu Yifan to show its endless life force.
Lu Yifan closed his eyes slightly, carefully guiding the flow of the flame soul with his mind, only to see that the flame that was originally condensed into a ball was like a ball of splashed water under Lu Yifan's mind, and it was like a ball of splashed water that was sprinkled on his arm in an instant, and then the flame gently flowed towards Lu Yifan's whole body, and Lu Yifan's body seemed to be bathed under the flames, and in the blink of an eye, it was tightly wrapped by this rapidly amplified flame.
The high temperature that can melt gold fossils now on Lu Yifan's body not only does not bring him the slightest pain, but it actually makes Lu Yifan feel comfortable and can't help but groan lightly, and the intricate blood wounds on his body that were injured by the wind knife also began to heal strangely under the attachment of the flames, the skin color under the flames is slightly crimson, but it gives people an unusually immature feeling, as if it is the skin of a newborn, so soft and delicate, and the shocking wounds also began to deform rapidly under such skin at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye, and purple-black blood scars fell off from the skinLayers of tenderness that distinguish the skin from the side reemerge from under the scar.
In this way, Lu Yifan sat unconsciously in this undisturbed secret room for a whole day, until the sun set and the sky was completely dark, and Lu Yifan gradually woke up from his meditation.
The moonlight is far less bright than the sun, and under the faint illumination of the moonlight, the secret room looks extremely dim, and in the corners of the four walls of the secret room, all Lu Yifan can see is a cloud of darkness.
"What does the black-clothed guard want to do?" Lu Yifan looked around left and right with a muttering to himself, and then listened carefully to the movement outside, but the room was still as silent as stagnant water, and there was no half of a figure in sight, which made Lu Yifan feel even more heartfelt doubts, "Am I imprisoned like this?" Didn't I say that I was guilty or innocent to meet Dean Qiu Ming? Why don't I even have a chance to explain now?"
Just when Lu Yifan was meditating on his own, there was finally a little movement outside the door, first an almost inaudible wind sounded, and then only a crisp "click" sound was heard outside the door, and then the door of the secret room was pushed open from the outside.
"Lu Yifan, I've kept you waiting!"
A slightly playful old laughter slowly came from outside the door, and the voice was kind and not a little majestic, Lu Yifan didn't need to see this person's face to recognize this familiar voice, it was Qiu Ming.
At this moment, I saw that Qiu Ming was still followed by Yan Shuang, and the two walked into the secret room one after the other, and in Yan Shuang's hand at this moment, he was carrying a dim lantern with the word "Vermilion Bird" written on it.
"Dean Qiu Ming, Mr. Yan!" As soon as he saw these two people, Lu Yifan stood up abruptly and bowed to Qiu Ming and Yan Shuang.
"Lu Yifan, do you know why Dean Qiu Ming brought you here?" Yan Shuang asked lightly.
"Because...... Because Mu Ming died, he died after fighting me......" Lu Yifan's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, there seemed to be a trace of bitterness in his voice.
"Mu Ming's death has been found out, he was infected with wind chill during his recuperation, and then the wind chill worsened before he died unexpectedly!" Qiu Ming's smile was still kind at the moment, as if what he just said was not a human life.
Lu Yifan frowned and stared at Qiu Ming, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of Qiu Ming's words.
"Lu Yifan, do you know that this time you had a conflict with Qingmen, and finally implicated Dean Qiu Qiong of the White Tiger Academy, who was finally corrected on the spot by me in the early hours of the morning for dereliction of duty and killing students. Qiu Ming stared straight at Lu Yifan with a pair of smiling eyes, and said slowly, "Qiu Qiong has been with me for many years, and I didn't expect him to do such a foolish thing this time!"
Qiu Ming said that he deliberately showed a regretful expression on his face, if Lu Yifan didn't know the grievances behind Qiu Ming and Qiu Qiong, I'm afraid he would really think that Qiu Ming was grieving Qiu Qiong's death.
Since Qiu Ming didn't break the words, Lu Yifan would naturally not be stupid enough to pierce this layer of window paper by himself, after all, Lu Yifan didn't know how much Qiu Ming knew about him, let alone whether Qiu Ming knew the plans and secrets between himself and Tang Ruoxi.
From beginning to end, Yan Shuang stood quietly behind Qiu Ming, looking at his nose, nose and mouth, and mouth, as if he had never been involved in this matter at all.
"Alas, no matter what, I finally saw Qiu Qiong's true colors clearly, and I didn't let him continue to endanger other students, and that's enough!" Qiu Ming said with a light smile, and then he raised his eyes and said with a different meaning, " Lu Yifan, Mentor Yan Shuang has already told me about this incident, it was you who inadvertently discovered Chun'er's matter when you were fighting with Qingmen, which caused Qingmen to expose the loss of the Wind Tiger Claw cheats, and Qiu Qiong also wanted to hide it from the world after discovering that the matter was exposed, and even resorted to the despicable means of killing people and gagging him. Whether it was out of the timely discovery of the Academy's secret book and private borrowing, or the side that drew out Qiu Qiong's human nature, for the Holy Soul Academy, you can be regarded as a great achievement! It is precisely because Mentor Yan Shuang specially asked for a reward for you, so I asked the black-clothed guard to recruit you, the purpose is to reward you for your meritorious service!"
"I ......" Lu Yifan didn't know what Yan Shuang's move meant, he looked at Yan Shuang suspiciously, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, after all, all this he did was only discussed with Tang Ruoxi, and in the entire plan between him and Tang Ruoxi, Yan Shuang had never been involved, he didn't understand why Yan Shuang knew about this, let alone why the Wind Tiger Claw Secret Book finally fell back into Chun'er's hands, just because he had too many doubts, so he didn't dare to open his mouth to speak easily, and after hesitating for a long time, Lu Yifan said weakly, " Thank you Mr. Gan......"
"You don't have to thank me, you should thank Tang Ruoxi even more!" Yan Shuang lowered his eyelids slightly, and said in a flat tone, "If Tang Ruoxi hadn't told me these in time, you would have almost been involved in this right and wrong, and even more almost caused a catastrophe!"
Yan Shuang said and glanced at Lu Yifan deeply, which made Lu Yifan's body tremble, although Yan Shuang didn't really explain anything, but he suddenly understood something from Yan Shuang's eyes, after he and Mu Ming battled, Tang Ruoxi had said to Lu Yifan that the Wind Tiger Claw Cheats would be a hot potato to continue to stay in their hands now, so she suggested taking out the Wind Tiger Claw Cheats, as for where to get it, Lu Yifan didn't ask much at that time, now that he thinks about it, Tang Ruoxi handed over the cheats to Yan Shuang.
Tang Ruoxi and Lu Yifan are both disciples of Yan Shuang, Tang Ruoxi will go to Yan Shuang and tell him all this, Lu Yifan will not feel strange. And now what Lu Yifan can't understand the most is why the secret book ended up in Chun'er's hands? Why did Chun'er become a victim again? Why was that secret book divided into two halves? Could it really be that Qiu Qiong snatched half of it from Chun'er?
Although there are many doubts in his heart, today's Lu Yifan is no longer the hairy boy he used to be, he has learned to control his mouth and not talk nonsense.
Lu Yifan frowned and nodded, he couldn't deny Yan Shuang's words.
"As the dean of the Holy Soul Academy, I naturally have to reward and punish clearly, Qiu Qiong has already punished me for my mistakes, now that you are considered meritorious, how do you want me to reward you? Do you want to enter the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to choose cheats at random?Or do you want a specific tutor to teach you personally?" Qiu Ming asked with a smile, obviously he didn't care about Lu Yifan's doubts.
"I ......" Lu Yifan finally waited for Qiu Ming's words, but somehow at this moment, he didn't know how to open his mouth, "Do I really have merit......
"If you really wait for Qiu Qiong to make a big mess, it will be difficult for me, the dean, to explain in front of the emperor, you can expose Qiu Qiong's evil by mistake, it will naturally be of great benefit to me, and I owe you a favor!" Qiu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Lu Yifan with a smile, and then said in words, "Lu Yifan, you and I are destined, I have already thanked you once at the freshman ceremony three months ago, and I have to thank you again this time!"
Indeed, the only difference is that three months ago, Lu Yifan couldn't understand the meaning of Qiu Ming's thanks, but today he understands it very thoroughly.
"Three people died inexplicably, and the price paid for this favor is too expensive...... Lu Yifan muttered to himself, "I used three lives in exchange for a favor, alas, ......"
"Lu Yifan, many things have already been decided, even if there is no you, what should happen will also happen!" Yan Shuang's eyes flashed and reminded, "Why do you need the kindness of a woman here? I advise you to answer the dean's words first!"
Yan Shuang's words made Lu Yifan's face change, and somehow, he suddenly felt a strange emotion in his heart, that is, his entire plan to leave the academy and go to the southwest smoothly was extremely dangerous and difficult, but in fact, it was always inexplicably carried out according to the plan, so that today's Lu Yifan was already standing in front of Qiu Ming in a daze, and he was about to make his final request to Qiu Ming. Until this moment, Lu Yifan couldn't understand why all this was going so smoothly? He felt that he hadn't really done anything, but now he was inexplicably standing in front of the completion of the plan.
This strange idea coupled with all the things that have happened in the past few days, Lu Yifan suddenly had a bold speculation in his heart, that is, the person who really helped him complete the whole plan was not himself, or even Tang Ruoxi, but Yan Shuang, who seemed to be a pure outsider in front of him.
"I ......" Lu Yifan frowned and stared at the smiling Qiu Ming, he really couldn't see the kind old man in front of him now, Lu Yifan couldn't understand whether Qiu Ming, who had always been naïve and cute, was he really stupid, or was he pretending to be confused? He couldn't understand whether Qiu Ming and Yan Shuang were both behind the scenes? Or was all this really just a coincidence as Qiu Ming said? Or, the two of them were not honest with each other, and Yan Shuang and Qiu Ming were also hiding their own thoughts and using each other?
Too many doubts made Lu Yifan feel dizzy, he stabilized his mind a little, and pulled his chaotic thoughts back to reality again, what he has to do now is not to immerse himself in the self-blame and guilt of indirect killing, nor to think about all this in every possible way, but to be more direct, and take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to complete the last step in the entire plan that he and Tang Ruoxi worked so hard to make, which is also the fundamental reason and ultimate goal that prompted Lu Yifan to do so many things impulsively。
"Dean, I'...... I want to leave the Holy Soul Academy for a while......"
