Chapter 100: Killing the Plum Tree [Extra Chapter for Zhuxue'er Alliance Leader]
Just as Ding Jieren had said, if Dong Yunyu were to ask, "Are you leaving without even a word?" Fang Che would reply, "What do you want me to say?"
The rhythm of the conversation was entirely in Dong Yunyu's control.
Whether he wanted to show magnanimity or seriousness, it was all up to him.
A mere thought could change the situation.
However, Fang Che didn't follow the rhythm and instead, he directly confronted Dong Yunyu.
This left Dong Yunyu in an awkward position.
Fang Che let out a cold laugh.
"Farewell."
He took Mo Gaiyun to get some food.
He maintained the image of a villain to the end.
Dong Yunyu's face turned red and blue with anger, his hand gripping the sword hilt so tightly that his veins almost popped out.
He let out a humph and turned to leave.
In his heart, he made a firm decision that if he encountered them outside the Martial Academy, he would definitely teach those three guys a lesson!
Wei Zihao struggled to get up, bowing and saluting, "Thank you, Brother Dong, thank you..."
"Get lost!"
Dong Yunyu kicked him in the chest and sneered, "Coward!"
He strode away.
From a distance, a young man walked lazily towards them, watching Dong Yunyu's departing figure and laughing, "Brother Dong, you're trying to act cool, huh? Haha, it's really hilarious."
"It's none of your business!" Dong Yunyu ignored him and walked away.
This young man walked lazily, his body lacking any semblance of bones, and looking at Wei Zihao, he said, "Why is your face so dark?"
Wei Zihao: "???"
"You got beaten, begged for mercy, cried, and now you want to suck up?"
The young man sighed, "I really want to vent my anger for you, but there's no reason to."
Wei Zihao: "..."
In the distance, someone called out, "Brother Hua, when did you get back? It seems like your mission is complete?"
This young man was one of the four great ones of the White Cloud Martial Academy, Jun Hefang.
He lazily stood up, and facing the direction he came from, he laughed, "It's Brother Hua, hehe, you're so flashy, why didn't you go out?"
The young man running over was Hua Xie. He was of the same rank and level as Jun Hefang and Dong Yunyu.
"If I didn't come back now, I would have been expelled."
Jun Hefang walked lazily, putting his arm around Hua Xie's shoulder, and they walked forward while talking.
Hua Xie struggled, "Let go! You stink... How long has it been since you took a bath... Let go, damn it!"
"It's not like you're a girl... Do you really care about the stench? When you stole my underwear in the first year, I didn't mind, but now you mind that I stink?" Jun Hefang still held him tightly.
Hua Xie became furious, "Nonsense! It's clearly you who stole it... It's your fault I had nothing to wear... Let go..."
The two of them argued and pushed each other as they walked away.
In front of them, a chilling aura suddenly appeared.
It was a man dressed in white, his clothes as pure as snow, untainted, standing there like a block of ice.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his tall and straight figure resembling a spear.
His hair was perfectly neat, and his entire body was clean, even his shoes were spotless.
However, he wore a pure black belt around his waist.
His features were handsome, his skin as white as jade, yet he didn't give off an unhealthy aura.
His eyes were like ice, and when he saw the two men pulling and tugging at each other, a hint of warmth appeared in his gaze.
But his words were merciless, "Pulling and tugging, what kind of behavior is this? So dirty, can't you clean yourselves up? Seeing you two like this, you're disgracing the White Cloud Martial Academy."
Both Jun Hefang and Hua Xie lowered their heads, obediently accepting the scolding.
After the young man finished scolding them, he laughed and said, "Ice Block... I mean, Boss, how was the blind date?"
The man in white humphed, "Shut up and follow me inside!"
Jun Hefang and Hua Xie followed behind him, laughing.
"I just saw Dong Yunyu acting tough towards the freshmen again... He's hopeless, his obsession with showing off is too much, especially this time, he tried to show off but ended up getting played, it's hilarious!"
The man in white was one of the four great princes, Wu Zhbing.
Without turning his head, he said, "Dong Yunyu, not worth mentioning, not worth discussing, not worth laughing at."
With his head held high, his tall figure led the two brothers into the building.
Wherever he passed, a chilling aura followed.
...
In the dining hall.
Fang Che watched as the four of them walked away outside.
Dong Yunyu entered the building alone, then Jun Hefang appeared, followed by Hua Xie, and finally, Wu Zhbing stood at the top of the stairs, dressed in white like snow.
Countless seniors saw these four people.
No one spoke, they just watched.
Without any introduction, he knew the identities of the other three, except for Dong Yunyu.
The Baiyun Four Gentlemen.
He watched as Wu Zhbing led Jun Hefang and Hua Xie inside. Although Hua Xie and Jun Hefang acted casually towards Wu Zhbing, the respect and reverence in their bones were palpable to everyone.
The feeling of the three being in perfect harmony, without any gaps or seams, was also clear to everyone.
Mo Gaiyun also watched silently.
Then he glanced at Fang Che.
At the same time.
Ding Jieren also turned to look at Fang Che from the backs of the three men.
Then he immediately lowered his head.
A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he began to eat vigorously.
Mo Gaiyun's heart stirred, and he took his lunch box and Fang Che's lunch box, and sat down at Ding Jieren's table, laughing, "Let's eat together!"
Ding Jieren looked at the two of them sitting down, and a glimmer of joy flashed in his lonely eyes. He moved his buttocks to make room for Fang Che in the middle.
But suddenly, an unknown thought crossed his mind, and his eyes turned deep and mysterious.
He abruptly stood up and said with his head lowered, "I'm done eating. You guys eat."
He put away his half-eaten lunchbox and turned to leave.
Mo Gaiyun was furious. He stood up and shouted, "Ding Jieren!"
Ding Jieren trembled but didn't respond. He quickly left the room.
"Ding Jieren!"
Mo Gaiyun called out again and was about to chase after him.
But Fang Che grabbed his shoulder and said, "Don't chase him. You'll understand later."
Then he calmly said, "Let's eat."
Mo Gaiyun stared at his lunchbox in a daze, then suddenly grunted angrily and began shoveling food into his mouth.
While eating, Fang Che couldn't stop thinking about the strange dark aura on Wei Zihao's face, feeling that something was amiss.
This was definitely not a normal phenomenon.
He needed to find someone to ask about it.
But what about Wan Zhi Mei? He was about to start a full-time closed-door cultivation, and during these months, she would be left to grow on her own.
Fang Che's mind was filled with various thoughts.
After the meal, he went to find Fang Qingyun, who was preparing for a mission. Seeing Fang Che's sudden arrival, Fang Qingyun was also surprised.
Several female classmates nearby were overjoyed.
However, Fang Che only exchanged a few words before leaving.
He was in a hurry to cultivate and had come to bid farewell to his cousin, who was about to embark on a mission. He also brought some resources and necessary items for his cousin's journey.
It was a normal occurrence.
In the afternoon, Fang Qingyun and the others were discussing their upcoming mission, which was their first and involved a relatively less dangerous herb-gathering task.
However, Wan Zhi Mei seemed distracted.
She noticed a hidden mark on the door, which seemed to have appeared at an unknown time.
The mark was a slanted heart shape with scattered dots inside, resembling a child's doodle.
Wan Zhi Mei casually walked to the door and lightly brushed her hand against it, erasing the mark.
Her heart was pounding. She was relieved that she had discovered it, as if someone else had found it, it would prove that there was a spy from the Unified Heart Sect in their class.
The consequences of an investigation would be unimaginable.
But why did this mark appear now? A summoning order? For what purpose?
"Wan Zhi Mei, why is your face so red?" Liu Xueyun asked, "Do you have a fever?"
"I'm fine."
Wan Zhi Mei said, "It won't affect my actions."
She paused and said,
"We depart at midnight. There's still time, and I have some things in my room that I'll pack and bring along tonight."
"Okay."
Although the others felt that Wan Zhi Mei's words were unnecessary, as everyone was already aware of the mission details.
But they didn't think further.
After the discussion, everyone dispersed.
In the evening, as darkness fell, Wan Zhi Mei left with a trash bag. She circled around and threw away the bag, then headed to the nearby forest.
She seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll.
But her eyes were searching anxiously.
Finally, on a tree, there was a mark on a piece of bark.
The mark had almost faded, as if blown away by the wind. Wan Zhi Mei's heart raced, and she approached the tree, leaning against it.
The bark was at the height where her hand naturally hung.
She lightly tapped it, and the bark fell away, revealing a small hole.
Inside were a small jade vial and a note.
She discreetly clutched them in her palm and placed them in her bosom.
Then, she stomped on the bark, crushing it, and walked out of the forest as if nothing had happened.
Back in her room, she went straight to the bathroom.
She took out the note.
The Sect Leader rewards Ten-Year Pill.
Ten-Year Pill! Wan Zhi Mei's pupils dilated.
As the name suggested, this alchemy pill, after digestion, could increase one's cultivation by ten years.
Moreover, it was a secret pill of the Unified Heart Sect.
This was a reward!
Wan Zhi Mei was thrilled.
Two Ten-Year Pills.
A total of twenty years of cultivation!
Although Wan Zhi Mei's aptitude was average, just below the norm, these two pills were enough to boost her cultivation by several ranks!
Here, it's worth explaining that pills that increase cultivation by ten years don't guarantee a ten-year boost for everyone.
After all, some with poor aptitudes have bodies like funnels, where no matter how much spirit energy enters, it all dissipates.
With Wan Zhi Mei's aptitude, while not fully absorbing twenty years of cultivation, there would be no issues.
Wan Zhi Mei returned to her room and prepared food and water for the sudden surge in cultivation, then closed the door.
She took out a pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
...
The next day, when Fang Qingyun and the others gathered, they noticed Wan Zhi Mei's absence.
So, Liu Xueyun and another female classmate went to look for her. They knocked, but the door remained shut, and a stench emanated from the room.
Liu Xueyun kicked open the door and found Wan Zhi Mei lying on the bed, her body already decomposed.
...
