Chapter 18 The Academy Conspiracy

Night, dark and windy night.

Nanshan Academy is located outside Yanjiao City and is built on Nanshan Mountain, hence the name. On the mountainside of the academy, there is a small lake, which is quiet and secluded. In the past, there were many young men and women playing here on summer nights. But most recently, no one dares to approach here.

Because people died here not long ago.

But tonight, two scholars came here.

As soon as I got close to the lake, there was a chilling breeze that penetrated my clothes, making people shiver uncontrollably.

“Brother Shaoan, why did you invite me to this place…Isn’t this…isn’t this where Situ Yan committed suicide…”

By the lakeside in Hessen, the thin and thin scholar at the back was fighting with each other, and he never dared to take a step forward.

The scholar in front is a little stronger, but he looks quite tall from the back, and his voice is deep and generous: “If you want to completely end this matter, you can only come here.”

Wind Blowing Passing through the surrounding woods, there was a rustling noise, as if someone was passing by behind him, the thin and thin scholar turned his head in shock, turned around twice and found that there was no one, and was relaxed.

He said to the person in front of him, “I don’t know what’s going to happen? If I say this, it has nothing to do with me. When you bullied that Situ Yan, I didn’t participate much… I called her very ugly person at most twice… Now that everyone is dead, what else can I do?” It seems to be using this method to ease the fear in my heart.

“Yeah, you didn’t do anything…” The tall scholar’s voice was sullen.

“Aiya, don’t sell your shit!” said the thin and thin scholar anxiously.

“Then…” The tall scholar turned his face to the side, his face was extremely cold under the moonlight, “Do you still recognize me?”

“Wu Shaoan!” The thin scholar seemed to be caught by him His tone was frightened and a little angry, “What the hell are you doing? If there’s nothing wrong, I won’t stay with you in this hellish place! At worst, my family will move out of Yanjiao City tomorrow, so I don’t need to worry about it.”

“Zhang Cong, you…really don’t recognize me?” The tall scholar asked again, suddenly turning around, revealing a whole face.

The right half of his face is still a normal face, while the left half of his face has a thick scar, which seems to have experienced tragic burns, and even the eye sockets are deformed, which is extremely terrifying.

And…a bit like a woman!

“Ah!” Seeing this, the thin and thin scholar screamed in shock, took two steps back, and fell to the ground with weak legs.

Immediately, I saw the intact half of the tall scholar’s face, and the skin began to peel off, as if it was a dry and cracked wall, falling piece by piece, revealing the pale and bloodless face of the woman underneath.

“Situ Yan… spare me… spare me…” The thin and thin scholar backed away, muttering in his mouth, then turned around and got up, throwing his life away and running out of the woods!

While running, he shouted, “Help! There’s a ghost!”

As he ran out of the woods, he felt out of breath and stopped for a while. Looking back at the deep woods, no one seemed to be chasing after him…

“Uh—”

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly grabbed his neck with both hands. , the pupils of both eyes also began to bulge outward. The left side of the face began to dry up and fall off, revealing thick burn scars…

“Forgive me…please, spare me…”

“Please… …ah…”

…

“The Nanshan Academy is haunted, why did you invite us here?”

On the bustling streets of Yanjiao City, Chu Liang asked Lin Bei asked.

Previously, Lin Bei hurriedly took him down the mountain to lead the mission, because he said that the reward was very high, so he didn’t ask more, and only now did he start to understand the specific situation.

This place is not far from Shushan Mountain. Shushan Sect Disciple is somewhat familiar with Yanjiao City.

But there are always a few exceptions.

For example, in a temple, if something goes wrong, it should be taken care of by Buddhist practitioners; for example, in academies, if something goes wrong, it should be taken care of by Confucian practitioners.

Three Sects practitioners will not cross the line unless there are special circumstances. It is not only a trouble for one’s own family, but also a provocation for other families.

“Hi Hi…” Lin Bei said with a smile, “The matter in the academy is naturally handled by Confucian cultivators. What we are responsible for is to protect one student.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the gate of a mansion guarded by stone lions in front of him, with a plaque of “Li’s House” hanging high above it.

“Old Master Li is a well-known big family in Yanjiao City. His only son, Li Jue, is studying in Nanshan Academy. Recently, Nanshan Academy is haunted, and two students have died.”

“He was worried about his son’s trouble, so he asked us, Shushan Sect, to protect his son for a while. As long as this mystery is solved, we will consider the task complete.”

“The money is calculated by the day.”

Chu Liang was relieved to hear the last sentence.

Old Master Li gave Shushan Sect real gold, white silver, and Shushan Sect gave them sword coins. During this period of time, I just wanted to save money to buy Flying Sword, and I needed this kind of high-paying task.

It’s also a pillow for dozing off.

“Aiya, the two Young Heroes of Shushan Sect, you are finally here.” Old Master Li went out with the whole family to greet him in person, and the platoon was very generous.

This is also one of the advantages of cultivator, even if you are a rich and powerful mortal, you will always have three points to see you.

“Don’t be so polite, we two are just juniors in Shushan.” Lin Bei also said enthusiastically: “My name is Lin Bei, this is my same sect Chu Liang. I think you are younger than my father. When you are 12 years old, I will call you Uncle Li, and I will treat your son as a brother.”

After speaking, he turned to greet Chu Liang: “Don’t be too cautious, I’ll follow you to your home here. The same.”

Chu Liang smiled slightly.

With people with such terrible social skills, I can save a lot of trouble in communicating with others.

He noticed that behind Old Master Li was a silent boy with his head down. He was dressed in home clothes and looked sixteen or seventeen years old. He was born fair, but his eyes were dark and haggard.

He should be the only son of Old Master Li, Li Jue, who looks like he has a lot of worries.

The big mansion with two entrances, Lin Bei and Old Master Li had already crossed their shoulders when they reached the inner hall.

“Uncle Li, don’t worry, my brother is under my cover, and I guarantee that he is safe. From today onwards, we will follow him closely at twelve o’clock. Shushan from beginning to end, You ask me about Lin Bei…”

“Old nephew, actually, there is a presumptuous request…” Old Master Li laughed, shaking his moustache, ” Although I asked you to protect my family Li Jue, can you…don’t let others know?”

“Don’t let others know? What do you mean?” Lin Bei and Chu Liang were a little puzzled.

“That’s right…tomorrow I’ll help you arrange your admission, and let you go to Nanshan Academy. When the time comes, you can always keep an eye on Li Jue, and come back to my house after school, that’s fine. But In the middle, don’t let people see that you are protecting him specially, okay?” Old Master Li rubbed his hands and pleaded.

“Uncle Li, what about your request, of course we will do it, but can you ask…why?” Lin Bei Dao Inquiry.

“This is not easy to say.” Old Master Li laughed, but kept it a secret.

Let someone protect him… and don’t want outsiders to find out?

Chu Liang glanced at Li Jue, who was silent, and Old Master Li, who was rubbing his hands beside him.

What are they guilty of?
