From the "clarification message" sent by Mrs. Gu, it is not difficult to see that she and Grandmaster Lu Li should be considered to be in love.
If not twenty years ago, Grandmaster Lu Li was bewitched by the skull of the Dark Emperor.
If there hadn’t been the subsequent “defection scandal” incident involving Grandmaster Lu Li.
If Grandmaster Lu Li hadn't been taken out of the mind ball and sealed in the Ghost Tower...
Mrs. Gu would not choose to change her appearance and remain anonymous in the Detective Association for fifteen years.
Her identity was sensitive, so after the incident, in order to avoid suspicion, she naturally had to leave Zhonglu College.
But she was unwilling to leave like this, so her only option was to find a place in Canghai Academy that was beyond the reach of Zhonglu Academy to hide and live in seclusion.
After going through a series of twists and turns, she finally chose the Detective Association.
…
"Old Lu, when you left your skull to me, you screwed me up so bad. Now your grandmaster girlfriend is in my hands and is my chess piece, at my mercy. This is called karma."
Zhou Yue sneered.
But having said that, in the end, Nanhe City also tricked Lu Li and made him take the blame, so they didn't owe each other anything.
In the eyes of the higher-ups, Grandmaster Lu Li, who fled to the Free City-State, has been linked to the Immortal Organization.
Mrs. Gu's intention to get close to the Immortal Organization may also have this reason.
Ding!
Another message.
Sender: Song Yuxin.
"The day after tomorrow, a meeting of teaching assistants will be held in the college conference hall in the afternoon to discuss preparations for the Battle of Spiritual Dao. Please attend on time."
This is a group message.
"Let me go to the academy at this time... Director Nie shouldn't have left yet, right?"
Zhou Yue thought for a while and sent a message: "Sister, I am at a critical moment of retreat. Can I not go to this meeting?"
Not long after, Song Yuxin replied: "Don't forget, you are still in the internship period and you will not attend the first important meeting. Are you ready to give up your position as a teaching assistant?"
It doesn't matter whether he is an assistant or not, the key is his qualifications for the spiritual battle.
Becoming a teaching assistant can directly obtain the qualification to represent Zhonglu College in the Spiritual Battle, which will save many tedious procedures.
Zhou Yue replied: "Sister Song, I want to ask you something. Is Director Nie in the college recently?"
Song Yu was obviously alert: "Why are you asking this?"
Zhou Yue said: "Because the reward given by Director Nie last time was too valuable, I want to express my gratitude in person."
Song Yuxin: "The director has been very busy recently. He has to go on a long trip in a few days. I haven't seen the director for several days. There is no need to thank him in person. You should keep the director's kindness in your heart."
Very busy? That’s great, I probably can’t meet you.
Zhou Yue suddenly felt relaxed.
Reply: "That's really a pity. Well, I will definitely attend the meeting on time the day after tomorrow."
After sending this message, Zhou Yue wanted to put away his phone.
Ding, Song Yuxin sent another text message.
"Friendly reminder, during the internship period as a teaching assistant, according to regulations, other students have the right to challenge you. In the past half month, more and more students have followed suit in the Sleeping Crow contract trial, and your battle has already been completed.
It’s been thoroughly studied.”
Song Yuxin just didn't say directly, "Just wait to accept the challenge."
But Zhou Yue's focus was on another small detail - Song Yuxin didn't mention anything about subspace in the text message.
Obviously, Huan, Qin Yuran and the others kept it a secret for themselves.
Although I don't know why, this way, I don't have to expose the identity of the "young member of the Immortal Organization" to a large extent, and accordingly, Hei Wuchang doesn't need to make a public appearance for the time being.
Although Xiao Ma Tuan diligently practices "Guji Dafa" every day, as an auxiliary system, its skill power is indeed limited and can be easily cracked.
"If that doesn't work, we have to summon Huang Huihong first."
"Xiao Jian, I really hope you can come out of seclusion soon. This seclusion time is really too long."
Zhou Yue checked the small sword and Ercha again.
The sleepy brothers were breathing normally and were in good physical condition, but they still showed no signs of waking up.
"It's time to go back to the academy. Come stay again in a few days."
Zhou Yue patted the pet care cabin, packed up his belongings, went downstairs and threw the travel ball. Bang, a burst of white smoke dispersed, and a suspended flying car emerged from it.
The purple, flat, long sports car-shaped suspended speedster slowly rose up and, whoosh, disappeared on Shell Street.
About ten minutes later, there was a strange sound coming from the chimney on the roof from top to bottom.
The figure with a charred face slid down.
"Please, please don't come here again."
The middle-aged man got up with a complaint on his face, then looked at the house, which was much neater than he imagined, and curled his lips.
"First the kidnapping case, then the murder case, they are all related to you!"
"You, as a tenant, live with peace of mind!"
"Why don't you consider my landlord's feelings?"
Landlady Mao Fei's face was full of bitterness and hatred. At this moment, his eyes fell on something and he suddenly froze.
On the coffee table where I "work" in front of the sofa, there is a glass bottle the length of my index finger lying flat. The liquid in the bottle is vaguely filled with pure spiritual essence and is filled with mind-blowing thoughts.
Mao Fei walked to the sofa in a daze, sat down, held up the vial with trembling hands, and closed his eyes to sense it.
After a while, he opened his eyes and murmured: "Yes, this is the spirit essence essence produced by the group. It is not a popular product like Canghai Academy, but a special grade product supplied internally."
"How could he have such a treasure... By the way, the chest bag he often wears is also the leftover material from the original experiment..."
"What is his relationship with the group veterans?"
Mao Fei looked out the window complicatedly, his thoughts already drifting away.
…
Bang!
The hovercraft once again appeared in the small building halfway up the mountainside of the college.
“It’s just short of an apron.”
Zhou Yue put the floating speed car into the travel ball, looked at the messy living room, and was about to release the [New Housework Cat Group Two], when the doorbell rang downstairs.
The door opens.
Zhou Yue saw Gu Wen, an intermediate teacher with an exposed masculinity and a thick beard.
"Teacher Gu, you won't be waiting here for me to come out of seclusion, right?" Zhou Yue asked.
Gu Wen walked into the house and looked Zhou Yue up and down with a complicated expression.
Full of questions, I finally managed to choke out only six words, "Have you broken through to level three?"
Although Zhou Yue did not deliberately restrain his thoughts, but after all, they were three realms apart. Gu Wen sensed Zhou Yue's skyrocketing thoughts at a glance.
"No, why do you feel like you've been able to break through the third realm for a long time?"
"Teacher, you must have made a mistake. I just made a breakthrough."
Although Zhou Yue was not worried about exposing the secrets of fellow practitioners with three mind balls, this bearded teacher had been acting strangely since half a month ago, and Zhou Yue did not want to continue to entangle him.
As he spoke, he secretly used the breath-holding technique in Bai Yan's notes. The No. 2 mind ball and the No. 3 mind ball were running in reverse at the same time. At the same time, two new sets of models appeared on the surface of the mind area.
Gu Wen said softly, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes, "Why has it changed again? Just now it seemed that he was at the peak of the third rank and close to the fourth rank."
Zhou Yue smiled and said: "Teacher Gu, do you think this is possible?"
Gu Wen looked complicated and murmured in a low voice: "Am I really feeling wrong? Before the retreat, I was still in the second-transformation realm. Now I have a breakthrough... Wait, Zhou Yue, have you been practicing here in retreat?"
Zhou Yue shrugged: "Teacher, where do you think I went to practice?"
For a moment, Gu Wen felt that the knowledge he had formed over the past thirty years had been severely challenged.
He knew very well that Zhou Yue had not been in this small dormitory building for the past half month.
He once had some suspicions that Zhou Yue secretly went to the sub-space, but it was a first-generation sub-space that was full of dangers and had not yet grown up. It was completely unsuitable for practice, let alone choosing to retreat and achieve breakthroughs there.
But if Zhou Yue hadn't gone to the sub-space, why would Huan, Qin Yuran and others look for him first when they returned to the academy?
Just when Gu Wen was puzzled, a burst of hurried footsteps came from not far away.
Huan and Qin Yuran arrived hand in hand.
As student teaching assistants, they also have a private dormitory halfway up the mountain.
On weekdays, they would return to their families in the school city, but these days they have been staying at the college.
"Zhou Yue..." "Assistant Zhou!"
The two of them were startled when they saw Zhou Yue, and then they communicated with each other.
"Not long hair?"
"Maybe it was just cut short."
"Xiao Ran, I think we have all overlooked a very serious problem."
"What?"
"Zhou Yue originally had short hair, but the mysterious master in the subspace has long hair. If he is really Zhou Yue, how could his hair grow so fast in just a few days?"
"...Yeah, we all ignored this problem. Isn't that person Zhou Yue? Has Zhou Yue really been in seclusion in the academy?"
Zhou Yue looked at Huan and Qin Yuran, who had confusion in their eyes, as if they wanted to dissect themselves, and then looked at Gu Wen, who was full of doubts, and smiled.
"As soon as I came out of quarantine, Teacher Gu and two seniors came to visit me. It was really touching. If there is nothing else, I would go back to the house first. I still have to prepare for the first meeting of teaching assistants."
