How could it be like this again?
Lu Ping sighed in his heart, he indeed felt good about himself, thinking that he was only doing ordinary things, but in the end he was able to create a different sense of existence.
He looked at Zi Mu helplessly with an apologetic expression. From his point of view, Zi Mu had been dragged into this mess because of him.
Who would have thought that Zi Mu wasn't as helpless as him, at this moment his eyes flashed, the brightness was comparable to the seven stars of the Big Dipper.
This was the trust of the seven academicians!
Fear, worry, self-doubt, the various negative emotions on Zi Mu's body, at this moment, all suddenly disappeared. He held his head high and puffed out his chest, looking like he would go through water and tread on fire for Chen Jiu's words.
The two new students' completely different reactions naturally fell into the eyes of the Megrez Peak students, but with Chen Jiu blocking in front, they couldn't express anything. They also knew the reason why Chen Jiu would make such a decision. Someone on Megrez Peak definitely had a problem with the seventh storehouse being robbed, as for who, no one could say. If there was even the slightest bit of suspicion, how could it be like this?
Thinking to this point, the few Megrez students were a bit more careful as they sized each other up, and they subconsciously stood slightly apart from each other.
"Then what can we do?" The students still had to ask Chen Jiu for instructions.
"Protect yourselves, don't trust anyone." Chen Jiu said, waving his hand, indicating that they could leave just like that.
There were still many people passing through the Medicinal Kitchen area, but when Chen Jiu turned around and faced Lu Ping and Zi Mu, he had a lonely and desolate expression.
Then, Chen Jiu's mouth didn't move, but a voice directly sounded in Lu Ping and Zi Mu's mind.
"Secret sound transmission?" Zi Mu was somewhat knowledgeable, and naturally knew of this ability, so he didn't make a fuss about it. Lu Ping had also seen from Amaterasu College's Dean Yun Chong that he used the "Swallowing Sound Transmission" ability to directly transmit information into the mind of Morin whose soul had been severed, so he wasn't too surprised. The two of them calmly heard the contents of Chen Jiu's transmission.
"Pretend that there's nothing wrong and listen to me," he said using Secret Sound Transmission. At this moment, Chen Jiu actually spoke as well. What he said was, "The strength of you two newbies is a little too weak, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he frowned, but his voice was transmitted through Secret Voice-sending. "Don't be too surprised. This is a piece of cake for me."
"I really don't understand why Li Yaotian would take you in," he said.
"What I'm going to hand over to you next is something very important," he said through Secret Voice-sending.
"I actually forgot to ask him about this before." Chen Jiu said with a face full of regret.
"Hey, you guys should respond as well. Don't be so dumb!" He reminded them through the Secret Voice-sending. Then, with a faster speed, he continued, "Go to the Cloud Valley and pick this herb called 'Zhixin'." When the Secret Voice-sending reached this point, there was actually an image in the minds of the two of them. It was a young blade of grass that was clearly displayed.
"Academician, just tell us what you need. We will definitely do our best!" Zi Mu was more immersed in his role, but at this moment he was responding according to Chen Jiu's previous instructions.
"I trust you guys, but it's a pity that with your strength, you can only waste my trust," Chen Jiu said as he continued his Secret Voice-sending, "I'm receiving too much attention now. I can't expose my thoughts and intentions, so I can only leave this matter to you guys. Don't be too anxious. Not being noticed is the most important thing. It's best to go back and rest for two or three days before moving. After picking the herb, immediately return to Megrez Peak to find me. "
After saying this through Secret Voice-sending, another image appeared in the minds of the two of them. It was a map, marking out the location of the Cloud Valley. Chen Jiu thought that the two of them might not be familiar with the Big Dipper Mountain. If they suddenly went to the Cloud Valley, it would be hard to avoid being noticed, so he even took precautions against this.
Everything was entrusted. On the surface, Chen Jiu was already dismissing the two of them, "Go, this matter isn't something the two of you can get involved in. The further away, the better."
After speaking, he already turned around and walked away. He looked as if he didn't care at all.
"Academician …" Zi Mu, who was immersed in his role, still wanted to perform. Just as he called out, Lu Ping, who was at the side, pressed him down.
"Forget it," Lu Ping said. He was a little worried that the more Zi Mu acted, the more mistakes he would make. Right now, this guy was a little excited.
"Ai, blame me for being useless!" Zi Mu said hatefully. He insisted on acting to the end.
"Let's go," Lu Ping said. He was rather easy to deal with. In any case, no matter what happened, his emotions wouldn't fluctuate too much. Chen Jiu's entrustment naturally didn't make him feel any excitement. But the ability that directly appeared in the minds of the two of them like an image made Lu Ping feel that it was a little fresh. This was something he had never seen before.
"Ai …" Zi Mu's face was full of regret, and "could only" follow Lu Ping down the mountain. But at this time, the Medicinal Kitchen was on full alert. Although it wasn't forbidden to enter or leave, anyone would be subjected to an extremely strict inspection. When the two of them left the Medicinal Kitchen area from the mountain pass, they saw four Alioth Peak disciples standing guard here. They didn't come up to interrogate the two of them, but when they walked past the four of them, they didn't know what kind of special ability enchantment they stepped into, but Lu Ping and Zi Mu only felt as if their entire bodies were being spied on.
In the end, the four Alioth Peak disciples didn't stop the two of them from leaving, and watched as they walked down the mountain path.
Along the way, they would occasionally meet disciples from other peaks. This made Zi Mu, who had a stomach full of things to say, feel very uncomfortable. On Megrez Peak, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to mention the matter of Chen Jiu's entrustment. He could only talk about all sorts of things with Lu Ping.
"You talk a little too much." Lu Ping finally couldn't help but remind Zi Mu. This aimless chatter, wasn't the meaning of concealing too much?
"Is that so …" Zi Mu's expression turned serious. In fact, he wanted to sneak a look to his left and right, but in the end he forcibly restrained himself.
"Let's hurry back." As he spoke, he sped up, and Lu Ping followed. The two of them came down from Megrez Peak, and went straight to the Northern Mountains New Academy. But on the way, the two of them couldn't help but glance towards the south. On the map that Chen Jiu gave them, the Clipped Cloud Valley was in this direction, sandwiched between Megrez and Phecda Peaks.
But Chen Jiu had cautiously instructed the two of them to wait two or three days before taking action, and the two of them naturally wouldn't act rashly. Walking in the Seven Stars Valley, they only felt that the atmosphere here was very unusual. Most of the people active in the Seven Stars Valley weren't disciples of the seven peaks, but the theft of the medicine workshop's seven storehouses was worthy of being a major event that shocked the entire Northern Mountains Academy. In the Seven Stars Valley, the teachers and students that Lu Ping and Zi Mu met all had a nervous and serious expression. Even at the Northern Mountains New Academy, this was the lowest level of the entire academy, and it was pervaded by a nervous atmosphere. But the people in this area really didn't have the qualifications to intervene in such an important matter. All they could do was gossip about the pitiful information that they had obtained.
Lu Ping and Zi Mu could be considered as some of the people involved, and this news also spread. When the two of them returned, they immediately became the focus of attention of tens of thousands of people, and were surrounded and asked about this and that.
"You talk, I'll go back first." Lu Ping felt that he wasn't good at dealing with this kind of situation, so he handed it over to Zi Mu. After squeezing out of the crowd, he returned to the fifth academy.
