Finished.
Liu Mu Ming couldn't help but gasp, thinking he had been discovered.
But when he turned back, he noticed they weren't looking in his direction.
Instead, they were looking up at the top of a certain tree.
He saw a breathtakingly beautiful woman standing on the tree. Liu Mu Ming had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
She was even more stunning than Elder Duan Xuan, whom he had seen during the entrance test.
Not only him, but even the few people beneath the tree were momentarily lost in admiration.
Mu Qing Qing wanted nothing more than to eat her fill now that she was finally out.
As the second personality of Xin Ci, she had been in the consciousness space for too long and had almost forgotten the taste of food.
Then, while looking from the tree to locate the Vermilion Bird Courtyard's canteen in the Four Symbols Academy, she noticed Na Lan Wu Chang and others gathered beneath the tree.
Mu Qing Qing heard their conversation clearly.
Since she was using Xin Ci's body, she might as well help him resolve this trouble.
"Yo, you guys are planning to deal with Xin Ci?"
Na Lan Wu Chang and the others felt an inexplicable chill when they saw the mysterious young woman on the tree looking at them with a half-smile.
The others snapped back to reality, instinctively taking half a step back and warily staring at Mu Qing Qing.
Although she was incredibly beautiful, for some reason, they could sense danger from her smiling eyes.
"No matter who you are, you should know that we would pretend not to see you and let you leave."
"Especially someone who eavesdropped on our conversation!" Na Lan Wu Chang narrowed his eyes, his words carrying a hint of threat.
In Liu Mu Ming's eyes, the young woman was in danger and needed to be rescued.
However, to their surprise, Mu Qing Qing not only didn't flee but leaped down from the tree.
Like a light butterfly, she landed gracefully before them.
Her expression turned cold, and she said, "Coincidentally, I won't let you leave easily either."
In an instant, Na Lan Wu Chang and Yang Song burst into laughter.
The sense of crisis they had felt vanished completely.
One of them sneered, "Junior Sister, can't you see the situation clearly? With just you alone, can you handle seven Profound Realm experts, let alone two on the Earthly Ranking..."
Before he could finish speaking,
There was a "swish."
At some unknown time, a sword aura shot out, instantly piercing his right shoulder.
The man was sent flying back several meters.
"What!"
Everyone stared at Mu Qing Qing in terror, her hand still raised.
It was obvious that the sword aura had come from her, but the problem was that none of them had noticed when she had made her move.
Then, Mu Qing Qing moved her hand again, sending out six more sword auras.
Na Lan Wu Chang and the others hurriedly mobilized their spiritual energy to form a protective shield around themselves.
However, before Mu Qing Qing's sword auras, their shields were like paper and shattered instantly.
The six sword auras also directly created bloody holes in their bodies.
In just this moment, all seven Profound Realm experts fell to the ground, unable to move.
However, Mu Qing Qing only injured them severely, not killing them.
After all, this was the Four Symbols Academy, and it would be troublesome if the old monsters of the academy discovered it and investigated.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Na Lan Wu Chang, forced to the ground, clutched his wounded left shoulder and gritted his teeth, roaring at Mu Qing Qing.
He never expected that the beautiful woman before him was actually a Profound Realm expert.
Not only that, but judging by the intensity of that sword aura, her true cultivation realm was likely above the mid-Profound Realm.
Mu Qing Qing let out a cold, elegant smile, stroking her chin as she said, "It doesn't matter who I am. That was just a warning for you."
"Remember, if you intend to deal with Xin Ci, you'll have to see if my sword aura agrees first."
"Xin Ci! Xin Ci! Why is it always Xin Ci!"
Na Lan Wu Chang's emotions spiraled out of control. His eyes were bloodshot, and he pounded the ground with his fists in rage, shouting loudly.
"What benefits did Xin Ci give you! Why are both Li Jian Xing and you helping him!"
Mu Qing Qing remained silent, only raising her right hand slightly. Ten finger sword auras shot out.
They pierced Na Lan Wu Chang's body again, causing him to roll his eyes and pass out.
Only then did Mu Qing Qing slowly reply, "Because he's the male lead."
After dealing with Na Lan Wu Chang, Mu Qing Qing turned towards the nearby woods, smiling.
"Friend hiding behind the tree, shouldn't you come out now?"
Liu Mu Ming's body bristled all over. He knew this woman was talking about him.
He had been so astonished by how easily Mu Qing Qing had defeated the seven Profound Realm experts that the fruit he was holding had fallen to the ground.
He had been momentarily dazed and had intended to pretend he hadn't seen anything and leave, but he hadn't expected her to call him out.
However, Liu Mu Ming was an oddball and walked out openly.
He even tidied his clothes and held a wild flower he had plucked from somewhere.
He sniffed it and gave Mu Qing Qing a smile that he thought was very handsome and elegant.
Uh... why is it this guy.
Mu Qing Qing was slightly taken aback.
Although she had discovered someone peeking from behind the tree long ago, she hadn't expected it to be Liu Mu Ming.
This guy had some contact with the male lead Xin Ci. She hoped he wouldn't notice anything unusual.
"Esteemed beautiful Senior Sister, this humble one is Gongzi Wu Wei, Liu Mu Ming. I am a sworn brother to the Xin Ci you mentioned."
"Might I be so bold as to ask for Senior Sister's esteemed name?"
Liu Mu Ming even put the wild flower to his lips, exuding an air of mysterious confidence.
???
What the heck.
When did you become sworn brothers with Xin Ci, and where did you get this "Gongzi Wu Wei" title from?
Mu Qing Qing was a little bewildered by him.
Never mind, she should leave quickly. It would be troublesome if Xin Ci suddenly woke up.
Seeing Mu Qing Qing in a hurry to leave, Liu Mu Ming, however, stuck to her like bubblegum.
"Don't go, beautiful Senior Sister, don't be so stingy, just tell me your name."
Why is this guy so annoying, but she couldn't attack him because he had treated Xin Ci fairly well.
So she used her movement technique, and with a few light leaps, she managed to shake off Liu Mu Ming.
Liu Mu Ming was only at the Profound Realm, after all, and couldn't keep up with her speed.
He stopped chasing, and his expression became serious.
Strange, why does this beautiful Senior Sister's student uniform feel different from the female students' uniforms in the Vermilion Bird Courtyard?
It looked more like a modified male student's uniform, and she even mentioned Xin Ci.
Could it be that Xin Ci fellow had secretly gotten together with this beautiful Senior Sister behind his back?
This detestable Xin Ci actually got ahead of me.
However, on second thought, Liu Mu Ming felt something was still not right.
Based on his impression of Xin Ci during the admission test, that guy's mind was filled with cultivation, and he didn't seem like someone interested in women.
