Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but look at the Ghost-faced Elder with a bit of disdain and said lightly, "I didn't think that way, but if you insist on believing so, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Bold, how dare you speak to the Faceless Elder like that!"

Ghost Howl couldn't help but scold coldly, but Su Chen paid him no heed and snorted, "I'm just speaking the truth."

Ghost Howl wanted to scold more fiercely but was stopped by a wave of the Ghost-faced Elder's hand. He glanced at Su Chen again, then slowly turned his back, "Ghost Howl, tomorrow you will take him away from here. Remember, ensure his safety along the way."

Ghost Howl respectfully said, "Understood, elder. Please rest assured."

The Ghost-faced Elder nodded faintly and then, under Su Chen's astonished gaze, transformed into a faint red dust, dispersing instantly before their eyes!

Only after the Ghost-faced Elder left did Ghost Howl coldly say to Su Chen, "You are too presumptuous."

Su Chen snapped back from his astonishment, glanced at Ghost Howl from the corner of his eye, avoided his remark, and asked, "Where are we going tomorrow? Why hasn't anyone informed me?"

Ghost Howl snorted coldly, placed a hand on Su Chen's shoulder, and they vanished in a flash of blood light from in front of the great tower.

The two guards exchanged glances, then sighed, "Incredible, even the Faceless Elder came to see him. This young man's future is limitless..."

They flew back to the Purple Bamboo Cottage with Ghost Howl still not having said a word to Su Chen. Su Chen understood the situation and quietly followed behind him, his mind incessantly pondering the words of the Ghost-faced Elder.

After sleeping in the room, he noticed the night veil faintly falling outside the window. Just as Su Chen was about to get up, Mo Yue pushed open the door. She seemed to take great care in her appearance, changing dresses every day. But to Su Chen, no matter how she dressed, she was always stunningly beautiful, even in plain cloth.

"You're awake."

Her face bore a slight smile, and amazingly, she was holding a fragrant dinner?

Seeing Su Chen's surprised expression, she chuckled softly and walked gracefully to the table, "Come and eat quickly. Tomorrow there'll be no chance to taste my personally cooked dinner~" "You cooked this?"

Su Chen was even more taken aback, his expression filled with doubt.

"What do you think? With such a wonderful aroma, no one would believe it wasn't made by me."

Mo Yue was quite confident in her cooking skills. Su Chen couldn't help but smile, "You are truly the peacock of the Blood Sect."

Mo Yue was momentarily stunned, then replied with some pride, "Of course. But isn't it a bit too cliché to use a peacock to describe my beauty?"

"My mother once told me that a peacock is proud of its beauty, yet when it sees its reflection in the water, it mistakes it for a rival and jumps right in without regard."

"You're mocking me."

Mo Yue finally understood, a touch of displeasure appearing on her face.

Su Chen pouted slightly, "I just think that with you changing dresses every day, the person washing clothes must get quite tired..."

Mo Yue gave him a rare sidelong glance before laughing charmingly, "Eat quickly, if you don't, there won't be much chance to taste my cooking in the future~" Su Chen: "..."

After finally finishing the meal, Su Chen looked quizzically at Mo Yue, who rested her chin in her hand, staring at him intently, and asked, "Have you looked enough? Do I look nice eating?"

"Not at all. I'm just admiring your expression of bliss while indulging in delicious food."

Mo Yue said with a smile.

Su Chen almost spat out what he had just eaten, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm going to sleep, you should go back to your room as well."

Mo Yue blinked, then reluctantly said, "Alright, but before you sleep, go soak in the medicinal bath, I've prepared the water for you."

Su Chen was startled, then remembered the delightful feeling after the last medicinal bath and nodded, "Got it."

"Then I'll be going. Hehe, sleep well."

Mo Yue rose elegantly and left, leaving a lingering faint fragrance in the room.

Staring at the doorway, Su Chen fell into long contemplation.

What exactly are they plotting, and why do I always feel like I'm being led along by the nose?

He couldn't help but mock himself with a smile. With his current self, how can he say no to these powerful opponents? Besides compromise, it seems there's only compromise…

In the early morning, Su Chen was awakened by a clattering noise of water. He opened the wooden window to see several carp frolicking on the lake's surface, their red and white scales particularly dazzling under the sunlight. However, Su Chen's attention was drawn to three figures on the lakeshore.

One was Mo Yue, another was Ghost Howl, and the other was unexpectedly a Blood-winged Monster. Its features were extremely asymmetrical, even downright grotesque, with sharp teeth partially exposed, lips turned out, a flat nose, and two bloody gleams in its eyes. Its limbs were broad and strong, with disheveled black hair barely covering half of its hideous face, standing in a very submissive posture in front of Mo Yue.

What kind of monster is this, and how does it resemble the blood-sucking demon seen at Yongde Temple?

Su Chen thought to himself, but unable to hear their conversation, he simply got up and left the wooden hut.

On the lakeshore, gusts of cool wind blew Mo Yue's hair and fluttered her elegant dress. And at this moment, her face bore a trace of serious expression.

"Have the elders really decided to collaborate with Shadow Valley? Why wasn't I informed beforehand?"

Mo Yue softly furrowed her eyebrows, her words cold and commanding.

The Blood-winged Monster kept its head down, voice muffled: "I am not aware..."

"Hmph, the sect has spent so much over the years training you 'Celestial Wing People', yet in the end, you all lean towards certain elders. Whenever something is asked, none of you know; why would I need you otherwise?"
