Chapter 23.1
Do You Know How to Capture a Villain? Chapter 23.1
Murder Attempt (1)
Ji Qingzhuo heard the system’s alarm, and the ink pen in her hand fell to the desk with a ‘pop’.
She didn’t panic. She just sat upright with her back against the bluestone, but her hand on the desk trembled a little.
It was just murderous intent, after all. No one would kill in public, and she didn’t really want to move from her position.
Ye Duanhong and Shen Rongyu entered the small valley together, while the system’s alarm continued sounding.
“Duanhong, Rongyu, what has brought the two of you here?” Jiang Qianke turned his head and asked with a smile.
“Qianke,” Ye Duanhong’s old and solemn gaze swept Jiang Qianke’s eyes as he moved his gaze away from that formation.
At this moment, the system’s alarm finally stopped, and it said to Ji Qingzhou in shock, “Host, the danger alarm is temporarily lifted, but the danger degree is level one, which means that someone within 300 meters wants to kill you.”
The 300 meters range was very clear. Didn’t it encompass only the disciples and elders who were in the class? Ji Qingzhuo pursed her lips. She felt that she was unlucky.
Why would anyone want to kill her?
She picked up the ink pen again and fiddled with it in her hand, diverting herself from the tension. The conversation between Ye Duanhong and Jiang Qianke continued.
“It’s about your Peach Blossom Mist in Yunshui Peak. Didn’t Rongyu come to you for enlightenment on some high-grade Five Elements formations these days? He found that there is a loophole in the Peach Blossom Mist formation you used to protect Yunshui Peak. He also thought that he wasn’t as skilled in formations as us, elders, so seeing that it was inconvenient for him to disturb your teaching, he came to me and asked me to check it. I confirmed it, and so, I brought him here,” Ye Duanhong explained the purpose of his visit.
In fact, it was almost time to dismiss the class, so he and Shen Rongyu had taken a stroll directly into the small valley. After all, Ye Duanhong, who dismissed classes strictly according to the set time, never thought that Jiang Qianke would delay dismissing his class.
Indeed, Jiang Qianke generally never dragged the class. It was just that he’d been asking Ji Qingzhou a series of questions, and the final formation he raised was… very special.
He restrained his gaze, waved his big sleeve, and asked the students to leave first.
Although Ji Qingzhou received the system alert minutes ago, she still stood in place and hesitated to leave after she finished packing her stuff on the desk.
“Ji Qingzhou, why aren’t you leaving yet?” Jiang Qianke asked.
His question drew Ye Duanhong and Shen Rongyu’s gaze to Ji Qingzhou, who didn’t dare to look at Jiang Qianke. After moving her gaze away, she happened to lock eyes with Shen Rongyu.
Shen Rongyu’s eyes were deep and calm, like a frozen lake, and only when he met hers did they vaguely reveal some smiles.
Ji Qingzhou blinked rapidly and finally put forward her request: “Elder Jiang, y-you haven’t given me a score yet.”
Jiang Qianke was stunned, caught off guard by her response. He didn’t consider giving Ji Qingzhou a high score, but in essence, she did say all the solutions to the formations.
Furthermore…Ye Duanhong was present… This person was extremely strict and was a stickler for the rules, so he probably wouldn’t allow him to give an unfair evaluation.
Jiang Qianke had no choice but to give her an A grade rating and turned it toward Ji Qingzhou to see.
“A Score, is that okay?” he asked.
“It’s fine. Thank you, Elder Jiang.” Ji Qingzhou was relieved. She hastily hoisted her small bag and ran out of the small valley, so fast that she didn’t even spare the time to greet Shen Rongyu.
Seeing her leaving, Jiang Qianke teased Shen Rongyu, “Rongyu, when she was punished to stand at Yunshui Peak that day… I thought you two had a good relationship.”
Shen Rongyu wasn’t irked by the quip at all. He evoked his standard smile and responded unhurriedly, “That’s just the way she is.”
“Was she the one who solved the formation just now?” Ye Duanhong was reminded of something.
“Yeah.” Jiang Qianke narrowed his eyes, as he brushed away the small formation simulation in front of him. “Back in the day, Huang Shi brought calamities everywhere. To unravel this formation, we had studied the array at Yunze Region for many years. Although I tested her with merely a simple version…”
