Chapter 1136 - Sealed Grounds Part 1

"Sorry! I didn't do this on purpose."

Li Sha had gotten a fright when her gaze met with the man's sinister gloomy gaze, turning gravely pale. She hastily left the room.

Bang!

She shut the room's door on the way out.

"Li Sha, what happened?"

When Yi Lian walked out of her room, she cast a curious gaze at Li Sha that had an unusual expression on her face. Curiosity filled her gaze.

Mu Ru Yue's door was opened as Yi Lian asked that. A charming figure walked out of the room, gradually heading out of the dormitory…

"This… This…" Yi Lian was stunned as she widened her eyes in shock and asked, "Why has he appeared here?"

'Can it be he slept with Mu Ru Yue last night?'

Yi Lian shifted her gaze to Mu Ru Yue who was following closely behind the man as she thought about that.

"What are you two doing here?"

"It's like that."

Yi Lian was startled as she said, "Someone had conveyed a message to us that Elder Zhou Min (cycle nimble) of the academy is seeking for your audience."

"Elder Zhou Min?"

"That's right?"

Qian Ye, who was at Mu Ru Yue's side, nodded upon hearing Mu Ru Yue's question. She revealed hesitantly, "Elder Zhou Min is Xiao Yu's master…"

"She again?" Mu Ru Yue smiled faintly as she said, "I am curious as to why she's seeking me out."

Ye Wu Chen frowned his nice-looking brows slightly. With gloominess expressed on his handsome face, he asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need!" Mu Ru Yue shook her head as she continued, "No matter what, I am now a disciple of the academy. She won't be able to openly make a move on me so you don't need to worry too much for me."

Ye Wu Chen nodded slightly as he said, "I will be waiting outside for you. If something happens, you can call out for me…"

✶

Within the academy, there was a place carved out of white jades.

There was a graceful and noble upper-class woman sitting on a chair within the elders' office. She looked coldly at the white-robed woman that had walked in from outside.

"So you are Mu Ru Yue, the greatly rumoured newcomer?" Zhou Min tapped her finger gently on the table. The air she exhaled was ice-cold bone piercing. It was as if her entire body was shrouded with cold air.

Perhaps you had taken care of her face well. Hence, there weren't any signs of aging on her face, making her look extremely beautiful…

"Yes." Mu Ru Yue smiled faintly as she replied, neither servile nor overbearing.

Zhou Min narrowed her eyes slightly, silently sizing up the woman that was standing before her. She said coldly after a long time had passed, "Not bad. You're indeed a rare good seedling. I've sought for you this time due to wanting to give you a mission."

Mu Ru Yue raised her brow as she looked indifferently at Zhou Min.

"There are sealed grounds within our academy." Zhou Min paused for a moment before explaining, "The sealed grounds is known as the North Wind Plains. The place you are going to take office is the Nanyang Region. I hope you can show some results within a year. If you can't completely control the North Wind Plains within a year, you will be expelled from the academy!"

'The North Wind Plains is a rather chaotic place within God Academy. There are several experts within that place; dragons and fish mingled in that region. More importantly, they never listened to the academy's order. Thus, the academy had previously dispatched some disciples to govern the North Wind Plains. But they had always failed…

'Therefore, since my disciple asked for my help in dealing with Mu Ru Yue, I thought of the North Wind Plains.

'Her survival within that North Wind Plains will be uncertain. The disciples that were sent to take office in the plains before had already been killed by those powerful influential factions within the plains.

'How can she, a newcomer, survive not to even mention controlling the North Wind Plains…'

"Alright, I accept."

Mu Ru Yue smirked slightly.

'I coincidentally need a place to cultivate now. Hence, I naturally will agree…'

"This is the academy's writ tablet. With it, you will be able to successfully take office." Zhou Min sniggered, tossing a writ tablet into Mu Ru Yue's embrace. She said coldly, "On another note, there will be a final examination for disciples of the academy in a year's time. You must participate in it. Otherwise, you will be treated as giving up the exam. You will then be expelled from the academy!"

Mu Ru Yue raised her hand to catch the writ tablet. She headed out of the office without turning her head back, quickly disappearing from Zhou Min's sight…

"How is it?"

Ye Wu Chen greeted Mu Ru Yue the instant the left the office and asked, "Did she put you on the spot?"

"It's fine." Mu Ru Yue shook her head as she revealed with smiles, "But Elder Zhou Min had given me a task. She wants me to take office at the North Wind Plains. I will create my influential power at the North Wind Plains at that time!"

'Since there's such a great opportunity, how can I let it slip away?

'I really need to thank Xiao Yu this time. That sealed ground is currently what I need the most…'

"I will accompany you."

Ye Wu Chen's lips formed a line. With a gentle gaze, he said, "I will worry if you're alone."

"Alright, I will first make a trip back to the dormitory to bid them farewell. We will meet up at the entrance of the academy at that time."

There weren't many rules in the God Academy. Disciples were free to leave the academy at any time but they must return before the exam.

Therefore, even if Ye Wu Chen disappeared for a year, there wouldn't be anyone that will seek trouble with him…

Mu Ru Yue returned to the dormitory after they separated. When the crowd heard she was heading to the North Wind Plains, they immediately leapt to their feet.

"Yue Er, you can't go there!" Qian Ye was anxious as she explained, "Do you know what kind of place the North Wind Plains is? Even though the North Wind Plains is a sealed ground of the academy, it is too chaotic at that place. Powerful influence factions littered those grounds. Those people won't take orders from disciples of the academy! There were some disciples that died under the might of those influential power. Even the academy can't control the North Wind Plains. Yet, they are sending you there by yourself. It's easy to tell what those people are plotting. They are clearly trying to take your life!"

"That's right! Yue Er!" Li Sha hastily grasped Mu Ru Yue's hand as she said, concerned, "What Qian Ye said is right. The North Wind Plains is too dangerous. There are several bandits and robbers at that place. If you head there, you will face a lot of dangers…"

Even though Li Sha didn't say anything, her gaze similarly revealed disapprovals and worries.

They didn't expect Xiao Yu would use such a method to deal with Mu Ru Yue. She could deal with Mu Ru Yue without leaving any information that could be used against her…

"How can I mature without taking risks?" Mu Ru Yue smiled, objecting their stand. "Perhaps this may be an opportunity."

Yi Lian's heart shuddered as she raised her gaze, staring at the impeccable beauty before her.

"But…"

When Li Sha still wanted to persuade Mu Ru Yue, she was stopped by Yi Lian.

"Li Sha, what Yue Er says is right. When one doesn't know what will be going to happen in the future, nobody will know if those dangers may be an opportunity. Many experts are able to turn their dangers into opportunities, rapidly improving their might. I believe she will be able to do the same as well…"

Even though their interaction wasn't long, Yi Lian had an obscure belief that with Mu Ru Yue's ability, she wouldn't place herself in danger…

"I will leave you all some pills. I hope you will similarly have great improvements in a year's time."
