午夜想想爱

The mist above the Graveyard Forest was dispersed, revealing a perfect view. Maybe, it was due to the formation having been broken.

The Graveyard Forest was in a low-lying basin. There were seals with purple lines running all across the slopes. The seals surrounded areas of about 10 square meters; most of the areas inside the seals were empty; a few of them were occupied. Those were very likely students cultivating

That place was arranged like terraced fields. Su Ping gazed into the distance; the deeper you were in the basin, the fewer people there would be.

He saw a person sitting in the farthest depths, cultivating. However, as if having felt something, said person stopped his meditation.

Su Ping remembered when Han Yuxiang and Yun Wanli heard that Nan Fengtian was at the 19th level. He locked his gaze on that student and strode over.

The demons screamed and the wind blew. The evil energy wanted to get to Su Ping but remained within a certain distance around him as he moved forward, just as if it were afraid of something

The 19th level.

Inside the seal.

Nan Fengtian opened his eyes slowly with a frown because he felt the strikes from the evil energy were lessening. The cries and screams he got to hear in his mind were lessening. He was baffled. He had never experienced something like that in his cultivation.

So, was it because of the artifact he got from his family?

He reached into his chest pocket and grabbed a piece of jade.

The jade was irregularly shaped; there was nothing special about it apart from the gentle glow it radiated.

However, Nan Fengtian was well aware of how precious the piece of jade was. It could protect people’s hearts and souls and enable one to be immune to a beast king’s deterrence!

Even a legendary battle pet warrior would want such a treasure!

Nan Fengtian said to himself, “Coming here is meaningless if this jade can expel evil energy...”

He wore the piece of jade when he cultivated in that place, because he wanted to be attacked by the maximum amount of evil energy while his heart and soul were protected, so that he could train his spirit.

If that jade was weakening the evil energy, staying at the 19th level with the jade wouldn’t be as beneficial as staying at the 18th level without the jade.

Nan Fengtian shook his head. He was about to leave when the seal around him began to tremble. The purple lines that were hiding in the seal became visible.

That came as a surprise to Nan Fengtian. That had never happened before.

Something must be wrong. Is something happening to the Graveyard Forest?

Nan Fengtian decided not to stay any longer. That was a place for him to cultivate but it wasn’t a safe place. If something were to happen, staying longer than necessary could lead to dangerous life and death situations.

The seal cracked when Nan Fengtian was about to leave the area. A figure surrounded by darkness floated in.

Nan Fengtian stepped back and his heart was racing. “What, what are you?” He felt the evil energy around that person was even more terrifying than the things he had felt in his cultivation.

Is he still cultivating?

Is he residing in his consciousness?

“Are you Nan Fengtian?” Su Ping looked down at him from a height.

Nan Fengtian was confused. “How do you know?”

“Do you know Su Lingyue? Where was the last time you saw her?” Su Ping asked.

Nan Fengtian was even more baffled. “Su Lingyue?”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two people arrived, Yun Wanli and Han Yuxiang.

Yun Wanli proposed to Su Ping when he saw the stunned and confused Nan Fengtian, “Fate Challenger Su, let’s all of us leave this place so we can talk about this.”

“Sir?”

Nan Fengtian could not believe that he was seeing Yun Wanli and Han Yuxiang in that place. He was even more convinced that he was still cultivating. Otherwise, why would the elusive Principal show up?

“Sure.”

Su Ping gave Nan Fengtian a look but said nothing else.

Yun Wanli was relieved. He grabbed Nan Fengtian and flew back along with Han Yuxiang.

They exited the Graveyard Forest.

Fei Tianyi and the other students had finally returned to their senses but they again were shocked when they saw Yun Wanli carrying Nan Fengtian in his hand. They had reached the 19th level in quite the short span of time, which was a level that was too difficult to reach for the average students.

The students placed their gaze on Su Ping who had put away his killing intent. Yet, what he did had left a deep and long-lasting impression on the students.

“Mr. Nan, Fate Challenger Su is about to ask you something. Answer his questions honestly. Do not lie!” Yun Wanli put Nan Fengtian down and cautioned him.

He stole a glance at Su Ping.

He even thought quite highly of Su Ping back then. He had just thought that Su Ping and he were much alike in combat strength.

And yet, what Su Ping did just then made him realize that the young man was most likely equal to the Void State!

That was a state that Yun Wanli could not reach. Considering his old age, without any particular luck, he would die as a legendary battle pet warrior at the Ocean State.

“Sir?”

Nan Fengtian asked. “So, is this reality?”

Yun Wanli motioned the middle-aged man to approach him. “Light the lamp and make him see.”

The middle-aged man took out a lamp and poured astral powers inside it, gradually lighting it up.

Nan Fengtian was sure that he was in the real world.

The lamp was proof.

The lamp couldn’t even be seen in a person’s consciousness. That lamp was a mysterious artifact and people weren’t aware of other effects except that no one was able to see that lamp when they were stuck in their consciousness. The lamp could only be seen in reality. Gradually, the “forest watchers” began to use the lamp to help the students tell the fake from the truth.

“Nice to meet you, sir!”

Having confirmed that he was in the real world, Nan Fengtian greeted Yun Wanlin in a hurry.

Yun Wanli waved his hand. “Nan, now, tell Fate Challenger Su everything you know about Miss Su.”

“Fate Challenger Su?”

Nan Fengtian was wondering if he had heard correctly...

But he didn’t dare to ask. He still remembered how the young man had appeared right in front of him. It was the young man’s killing intent which had made him believe he was still stuck in his consciousness. Otherwise, he didn’t have to use the lamp to help him realize he was in the real world given his rich experience of cultivating here.

“Sir, by Miss Su you mean...?” Nan Fengtian asked.

“Don’t play dumb with me. We are asking you about the girl that went missing because of you!” Su Ping bellowed.

Nan Fengtian was scared but he calmed himself down at once. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. We have a lot of people surnamed Su in the academy. How can I know if you don’t tell me the name? As for anyone who went missing because of me... That’s preposterous! I have been cultivating. I would never and will never care about bullying other students.”

Su Ping narrowed his eyes. “You’re lying.”

Nan Fengtian felt offended. “Why do you say that? I’m the descendent of a legendary battle pet warrior and have a noble bloodline inside me. Why would I lie?”

Yun Wanli remembered what had happened to Ji Feng and he noticed the danger signs on Su Ping’s face. “Fate Challenger, please calm down, sir. Let’s hear the report from Fengtian first.”

He spoke to Su Ping with more respect.

What Su Ping had done to break into the Graveyard Forest was truly shocking for him. If it weren’t for the fact that Nan Fengtian was the descendant of a legendary battle pet warrior and was also one of the best students in the Academy’s recent years, Yun Wanli wouldn’t have offended Su Ping because of one student.

“We’re asking you about Su Lingyue. Someone saw her with you and Ji Feng before she went missing. Do you know where she went?” Yun Wanli asked.

Nan Fengtian shook his head. “Sir, I do not know, honestly. Miss Su is a new student. She’s talented and I do want to recruit her to defend our family, but I have indeed been cultivating in the past few days. I would not know that she had gone missing before you told me.”

“Like I said, you’re lying.”

Su Ping pierced Nan Fengtian with his glare. “I will give you one more chance. I do not care about your bloodline and that you once had a legendary battle pet warrior in your family. I will kill you and any legendary battle pet warrior currently in your family!” Nan Fengtian could not believe such a big talk.

The legendary battle pet warrior of his family had passed away a long time before, but that fact still reminded him of a source of pride for all family members.

“You are insulting a legendary battle pet warrior. Do you know what crime you have committed?” Nan Fengtian bellowed.

Yun Wanli and Han Yuxiang were scared out of their wits. Yun Wanli cautioned Nan Fengtian at once. “Shut up. Fate Challenger Su can kill legendary battle pet warriors. Mind your manners!”

Nan Fengtian was astounded.

He’s able to kill legendary battle pet warriors?

This young man is also at the legendary rank?!

Nan Fengtian’s heart was racing and his blood was boiling; he was sweating through his shirt.

The Principal was at the legendary rank and he knew that.

A legendary battle pet warrior would not lie to him.

“I, I’m sorry...” Nan Fengtian dropped to his knees and apologized at once.

Nan Fengtian was terrified upon recalling how respectful Yun Wanli was toward Su Ping. He was courting death by answering with such a bad attitude, even when the Principal would not assume any great airs in front of the young man.
