Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 150 The Elder

"who!"

A loud male voice rang out from next door, accompanied by a powerful surge of spiritual energy that pierced through the wall!

Feng Siyue was startled and only had time to put the poisonous insect into her spatial storage. "Qingqing, keep an eye on it!"

Then, a golden sword suddenly appeared and was pressed against his neck.

An elderly man dressed in grey linen clothes approached. His cold, star-like eyes paused for a moment when he saw who it was.

"It's you?"

When Feng Siyue saw the old man, she was also taken aback.

This old man is the owner of Qingsi Academy, I think his surname is Wen.

Why is he here?

Following him out were Ke Meng, whom he had met yesterday, and a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes.

Ke Meng's expression was rather unpleasant. "Who are you? Why are you trespassing into my Alchemist Guild?"

He, a dignified eighth-level Spirit Master, didn't even sense that a thief had broken in!

What a shame!

The girl in front of him was dressed in black. Although her face was unremarkable, she was no incompetent person to have managed to slip past his senses.

Feng Siyue never expected that she would be discovered like this.

Given the current situation, it seems I can't leave even if I want to.

The three men appeared to be making no move, but their hidden pressure pressed down on her like three mountains, making her bones creak and unable to move an inch.

It hurts so much!

The richly dressed man glanced at her, then turned to the old man and asked, "Old Wen, do you know her?"

"see once."

Old Wen didn't say much, but he put down the sword in his hand.

As the oppressive aura dissipated, a bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down Feng Siyue's forehead.

She swallowed hard and said, "It was wrong of me to trespass into the Alchemist Guild without permission."

“But this thief stole something from me. I didn’t want to cause a big fuss and disturb your esteemed association, so I thought I would sneak in, take the item back, and leave. I didn’t expect to disturb you all.”

Please forgive me.

Ke Meng sized the girl up and down a few times, and seeing that she didn't seem like a coward, he spoke.

You mean him....."

Old Wen interrupted him, "Did you get the stuff?"

This statement seems to imply that he has already believed Feng Siyue's explanation.

"Yes."

Old Wen waved his hand, "Now that you've got it back, leave quickly."

Ke Meng somewhat disagreed, "Old Wen..."

The man standing next to him also said, "Your initial intentions are not wrong, but junior, this place is not safe."

"Next time, it's better to use the main entrance."

Meeting the man's ambiguous gaze, Feng Siyue remained silent for a moment, then clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your understanding, then I will take my leave."

The man nodded.

Feng Siyue glanced at the three of them, then turned and left through the window.

Qingqing, inside the Heavenly Heart Ring, frowned slightly. "They just let you leave like that? Without even questioning you or confirming your true purpose?"

Do you believe this?

So innocent?

Feng Siyue's gaze deepened. "Perhaps they never believed my story from the very beginning."

"Then why did they just let you go?"

"do not know."

"We can't fathom the thoughts of the elderly."

Feng Siyue had actually prepared for the worst, but she didn't expect to run into the owner of Qingsi Academy, nor did she expect that she would leave unscathed.

Both her presence and her actions regarding the corpse in the room provided grounds for questioning her.

But they didn't.

What are these people plotting?

Ke Meng also asked this question, "Elder Wen, this little thief clearly came with ill intentions, why did you and the city lord just let her go like that?"

Old Wen watched Feng Siyue leave through the window, his eyes narrowed. "I naturally don't believe such a clumsy excuse."

Is this young man really related to Zhongzhou?

"That...."

The city lord patted his shoulder, "Letting her go must have been Wen Lao's consideration. Let's not talk about her for now, take us to see what you suspect."

Since both of them said so, Ke Meng had no choice but to give up. However, looking at the corpse in the room, he was somewhat unhappy.

"Young man, why are you disturbing the corpse?"

The man chuckled. "Alright, let's go."

On the other side, Feng Siyue returned to Feng Ning's courtyard only after confirming that no one was following her.

Inside the space, Feng Siyue, Xuan Li, Qingqing, and Yue Shang formed a circle, with the insect whose wings and limbs had been cut off by Feng Siyue on the ground.

Xuan Li covered his nose and asked hesitantly, "Is this the important thing you went out to do in the middle of the night? Are you really going to put it in the Heavenly Heart Ring?"

It smells terrible.

Feng Siyue's eyes weren't entirely certain either. "A combination of the 'Swaying Ghost Insect' and the 'Spirit-Binding Death Flower,' wouldn't it be even more dangerous to leave it outside?"

Xuan Li asked her, "What do you want to do?"

"Logically speaking, since it has been confirmed that they are the Bodhi Ghost Insect and the Parasitic Death Flower, then they have nothing to do with the Seven-Colored Scale Insect, nor with me."

Xuan Li: "So, we're just going to ignore it?"

Feng Siyue shook her head, "Never mind, with the Alchemist Guild involved, it should be resolved quickly."

Xuan Li listened and slowly sat cross-legged on the grass. "I thought I had found information about the Seven-Colored Scale Insect, but it turned out not to be. I can only blame Xuan Zu for giving too little information."

The information was too vague. I thought I had found a clue, but it turned out to be nothing.
