Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

"I believe him because on the night of the incident, he was drinking with another young man at the Drunken Dream Garden, and I was also present..."

Facing everyone's gaze, Tianhui calmly spoke.

"Drunk... Drunken Dream Garden?"

West Saint, a decision-maker who rarely acts based on others' expressions, was now stammering, "This little rascal went to the Drunken Dream Garden?"

Su Chen's mouth twitched, feeling all eyes suddenly fixed on him, he couldn't help but lower his head in guilt.

"Brother Su Chen?"

Siger Meiruo's slightly discontented voice sounded.

Su Chen whispered, "We were just curious and went to check out the excitement, that's all."

However, Tianhui laughed heartily, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder, "No need to be shy, a real man is daring and also dares to admit. So what if you went to the Drunken Dream Garden? Men looking for some fun, what of it? But committing murder, causing harm to the people is something you absolutely must not try, understood?"

Su Chen silently nodded.

Tianhui turned to the bewildered West Saint and others, frowned, and said, "West Saint, do you also not believe in my words? I also sensed a strange energy fluctuation that night, but I let it be since the other party's aura was evil."

West Saint suddenly snapped back to reality, hurriedly replying, "How could West Saint not believe in your words, my lord?"

He then turned to Ghost Howl and Su Chen, with a smile on his face, "West Saint didn't know you two were friends of my lord; my boldness earlier, please forgive me."

Su Chen was taken aback, and even the usually cold-faced Ghost Howl looked at the ever-changing West Saint with some confusion, speechless. Does everyone from the Divine Concealment Hall have such authority? Even the Judgement Institute, responsible for the empire's security and punishment of evildoers, treated them with such respect?

"My lord, since it's a misunderstanding, West Saint will not disturb you from catching up with your friends."

West Saint wore a humble appearance, losing all previous authority and dominance.

"Hmm, go along then, extend my regards to Metheus when you return, hehe~" Tianhui waved his hand.

"Understood, my lord, until we meet again."

West Saint respectfully bowed, and then led a group of law enforcers away swiftly. The onlookers watching the group of enforcers come and go like the wind, sighed in amazement one by one.

Seeing West Saint leave, Siger Meiruo finally showed a hint of a smile, she looked at Su Chen with a grin, then looked towards the calm Tianhui, "Sir, you must be Lord Tianhui, Siger Meiruo has long admired your fame."

Tianhui chuckled, shaking his head with ease, "Miss Siger, as beautiful and charming as the rumors say, I didn't expect you to know this young fellow~" Siger Meiruo was moved in her heart, naturally placing an arm around Su Chen's shoulder, smiling, "Yes, he's the little brother I just acknowledged, my lord, how do you know him too?"

Su Chen stiffened, slightly bewildered, looking at Siger Meiruo, only to see a glimmer of light in her eyes, seeming to signal him not to speak.

"Me? That's a story from many years ago..."

Tianhui shook his head and laughed, "Miss Siger, has the Siger family selected the members for this special training yet?"

Siger Meiruo was startled, then laughed, "Not decided yet, my lord, why do you ask about this?"

"Oh, nothing, just asking casually."

Tianhui shook his head, then looked at Su Chen with a friendly expression, "Young fellow, we really are fated, meeting everywhere like this."

Su Chen nodded, "Yes, Nadas City, it doesn't seem as big as they say."

"Hahaha, well said..."

Tianhui suddenly burst into laughter, his gaze towards Su Chen becoming especially bright, "Well said, Nadas City, doesn't seem as big as they say. If there are friends across the sea, they are as close as neighbors, who would have thought a little lad like you could understand better than I do."

Su Chen's mouth twitched secretly. So that's how it is. Hehe, hehe.

"Little brother, believe that with our fate, we will surely meet again somewhere in this world; when that time comes, don't forget me~" Tianhui smiled.

"Yes, Su Chen will remember. Thank you for your great kindness today, lord."

Su Chen replied very respectfully.

Tianhui waved his hand, smiling as he slowly walked out of the crowd with his hands behind his back. Watching his retreating figure, Siger Meiruo felt a curiosity about Su Chen's identity. This young man from the East, why does he get so much admiration from Lord Tianhui? Could there be some mysterious power hidden behind him?

Scenes from that night in the corner surfaced in her mind, she couldn't help but glance at Ghost Howl again. Her curiosity about Su Chen grew even stronger.

The most talented strongman of Divine Concealment Hall, and this cold and mysterious man, why do they seem to protect this young man from the East like a Guardian God? What secrets are hidden on him?

"Let's go."

Ghost Howl said flatly.

Su Chen was about to respond when Siger Meiruo quickly said, "Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?"

Su Chen had a puzzled look.

"Brother Su Chen, I have something to discuss with you, can we find a place to talk?"

Siger Meiruo looked hopeful.

"No need, we have urgent matters."

Ghost Howl immediately refused, pulling Su Chen to leave. But Siger Meiruo gritted her teeth and blurted out, "Aren't you interested in the parchment fragment?"

"What?"

Ghost Howl turned sharply, and upon realizing his overreaction, immediately put on a solemn expresssion, looking at Siger Meiruo's shining eyes, he spoke in a low tone, "Do you have a parchment fragment?"

"Yes, if you want the parchment fragment, come with me to Jin Shili~" Siger Meiruo's tone relaxed a lot seeing Ghost Howl's reaction. Su Chen and Ghost Howl exchanged a glance, then followed Siger Meiruo towards Jin Shili Inn...

When Su Chen was still shocked by the luxury of the rooms at Jin Shili Inn, Siger Meiruo had already taken out a piece of a broken parchment map. The cold Ghost Howl's face suddenly changed upon seeing this piece of parchment map.

Out of reflex, he wanted to reach out to take it, but unexpectedly, Siger Meiruo withdrew her hand and took back the map fragment.

"Want the parchment fragment?"

Siger Meiruo looked at the eager Ghost Howl, smiling delightfully.

Ghost Howl couldn't help but clench his fist, speaking coldly, "What are your conditions?"

"Indeed clever, just agree to my two conditions, and I will hand over the parchment fragment immediately."

Siger Meiruo smiled at Ghost Howl, but Su Chen saw a touch of cunning in her eyes.

"What conditions?"

Aside from Mo Yue, it was the first time Ghost Howl was so polite to a woman in his life.

"First, you become the chief Guardian of the Siger Clan; second, Brother Su Chen must accompany me into the Forest of Death!"

"Me?"

Su Chen was shocked, looking at Siger Meiruo with deep meaning, as if looking at a shrewd little fox.

"Yes, sister has designated you, so how about it? If you want the parchment fragment, first agree to my terms."

Siger Meiruo held the fragment in her hand with a face of triumph.

Ghost Howl gave a somewhat sinister look at Siger Meiruo, coldly saying, "You calculated that I wouldn't dare to harm you."

Siger Meiruo gently laughed, her slender fingers covering her red lips, shaking her head to deny, "I didn't think that, but if you intend to forcefully take a weak girl's possession, I can only resign to fate."

She pretended to be very delicate, but it left Su Chen watching her in a daze.

Such beauty, even pretending looks this good?

"Hmph, I'm not foolish enough to provoke the Sichuan this monster."

Ghost Howl snorted disdainfully, then fixedly looked at Su Chen, his eyes seemed to convey something.

Su Chen understood. He knew how important the parchment fragment was to Ghost Howl, or rather, to the Blood Sect. It was unquestionably a treasure worth any price.

"Alright, I agree to your terms."

Su Chen nodded.

Siger Meiruo laughed joyfully, "Great, Brother Su Chen, you're truly sister's lucky star."

Su Chen, slightly embarrassed, lowered his head. ...

Night fell.

The bustling streets of Nadas City were filled with the sound of people, the crowd thronged like a tide.

Siger Meiruo led the way ahead, while Su Chen and Ghost Howl silently followed behind.

"Where are you taking us?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

"To my home."

Siger Meiruo squinted her eyes and smiled, those blue eyes full of exotic charm, as deep and captivating as the ocean.
