In the blink of an eye, the room, which was crowded with several people, was empty. They were busy watching how Pei Ci would deal with it, but Lu Ping, the most important person, was left alone on the bed.
But Lu Ping didn't care about it. Even when Pei Ci came to ask about it, he didn't show any particular joy, as if he had never expected it from the beginning. He just tried to move his body, and after finding that he still couldn't move, he continued to lie on the bed silently.
North Mountain New Courtyard, Courtyard 1.
Pei Ci's standard school uniform let people know that she was a disciple of Alkaid Peak. Courtyard 1 was full of newcomers, so no one dared to neglect her. But looking at Pei Ci's cold expression, no one dared to approach her. Senior Brother Ji, who was in charge of the North Mountain New Courtyard, ran to Courtyard 1, sweating profusely after getting the news from somewhere.
Senior Brother Ji wasn't a disciple of the Seven Peaks, and he wasn't a big shot in the North Style Academy. He was sent to the North Mountain New Courtyard, but he wasn't given the right to manage the place. He was just a housekeeper, arranged by the academy to take care of the newcomers.
But the newcomers knew their place, so no one dared to order this senior brother around like a housekeeper. Over time, Senior Brother Ji found a rare respect and flattery in the North Mountain New Courtyard. After a long time, the housekeeper was a bit like the master of the house.
But in front of the newcomers, he deserved to be called a senior brother. Students from the seven peaks, regardless of who entered the academy first or if their seniority was lower than him, he didn't dare to call himself a senior brother. When he heard that students from the seven peaks were coming, he rushed over to the first courtyard. Before entering the door, he saw Pei Ci's back in the Alkaid Peak's uniform, and hurriedly shouted, "Which senior sister is coming to the new courtyard?"
Regardless of whether he was a newcomer or an old disciple, even if he was a disciple of the seven peaks, Senior Brother Ji was willing to lower his seniority. The way he addressed her as Senior Sister was so clear that the eyes of the newcomers almost popped out of their sockets. Except for Lin Tianbiao, who was born into a noble family and had amazing talent, how many people had seen Senior Brother Ji so amiably? They did not expect Senior Brother Ji to speak in such a humble manner with a smile on his face.
However, when Pei Ci turned around, Senior Martial Brother Ji's radiant smile and sprinting footsteps immediately froze.
"Senior Sister … Pei Ci." Senior Brother Ji, who had stopped in his tracks, was forcefully torn into two.
"Senior Brother Ji." Pei Ci bowed slightly when he saw Ji Yunshu.
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Senior Brother Ji hurriedly dodged to the side, as if he couldn't accept this bow. In fact, if one were to judge seniority based on the order in which they entered the academy, Senior Brother Ji's seniority was not low. If he hadn't been in the academy for some years, he wouldn't have been sent to Beishan New Academy to take care of the newcomers. This character was clearly very familiar with the North Style Academy.
But facing Pei Ci, who had entered the sect much later than him, Senior Brother Ji really didn't dare to be his senior brother. After all, the North Style Academy wasn't very particular about the seniority of the students who entered the academy. It was more about the strong being respected. The students of the seven peaks were all stronger than Senior Brother Ji, so he didn't dare to be anyone's senior brother. As for Pei Ci, he didn't dare to be her senior brother. He clearly remembered that Pei Ci had taught him a lesson when she was still a newcomer in this academy. He had already experienced Pei Ci's terrifying strength when she was still a newcomer. To be her senior brother? If there weren't so many newcomers watching, Senior Brother Ji would have already knelt down.
Pei Ci didn't mind Senior Brother Ji's attitude. Senior Brother Ji didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Pei Ci, so he didn't dare to walk any further. He stood at a distance and asked politely, "Senior Sister Pei Ci, what brings you here from Alkaid Peak?"
"I'm looking for Zhuo Qing, Zhuo Qing from Xuan Jun Empire's Tianwu Academy," Pei Ci said.
Senior Brother Ji was slightly startled. Although this Zhuo Qing wasn't as outstanding as Lin Tianbiao, he also had some background. Since he came from Xuan Jun Empire's Tianwu Academy, it was certain that he was a member of Xuan Wu Empire. In this North Style Academy, they would form a group with their empire. Even Senior Brother Ji didn't dare to offend them. As for Pei Ci, according to Senior Brother Ji's knowledge, she didn't have any background outside of the academy. Why would she be with Zhuo Qing's group, which was extremely xenophobic?
However, Senior Brother Ji didn't dare to ask. Now that he knew Pei Ci's purpose, he had to hurry up and get things done.
"What are you all standing there for? Go and find Zhuo Qing. Where is he? " Senior Brother Ji swept his gaze across the room. He wasn't sure which newcomer he was looking at, so he shouted at them.
Some newcomers who were familiar with Zhuo Qing had already gone to call for him. However, Zhuo Qing heard Senior Brother Ji's shout and walked out of the room without waiting for anyone to call for him.
"Zhuo Qing, this is Senior Sister Pei Ci from Alkaid Peak. She's looking for you." Senior Brother Ji immediately introduced her to Zhuo Qing.
Zhuo Qing's heart was in a mess.
Naturally, it was easy for him to connect the incident with last night. Lu Ping was mysteriously rescued by someone. He clearly had a powerful backer in the North Style Academy. How could he let this matter go so easily? Liu Wu and him immediately went to Megrez Peak to find Yan Ge. However, they didn't even know who the other party was. They didn't have any concrete methods in the short term. Lin Tianbiao went to Lu Ping's place to investigate. He could only take one step at a time and act according to the circumstances. He was just worried that someone would come looking for him. In the end, someone really did come.
Someone from Alkaid Peak?
Seeing the coldness on Pei Ci's face, Zhuo Qing's legs turned to jelly. Thinking about how Lu Ping was punished last night, the words' an eye for an eye 'kept revolving in his mind. His companions also quickly came to his side. However, before Zhuo Qing could speak, Pei Ci spoke first.
"Let's talk outside, so as not to dirty the courtyard." Pei Ci said.
So as not to dirty the courtyard … …
These words seemed to attack Zhuo Qing's soul. His mind buzzed. He looked left and right. Yi Feng, Yu Ran, Luo Qin, Guan Xun … … What use could these people be in front of Alkaid Peak's senior apprentice sister? Didn't he see her normally?
Senior Apprentice Brother Ji, who was somewhat arrogant when he saw Lin Tianbiao, was like a sick chicken in front of this senior apprentice sister? This detail allowed Zhuo Qing to quickly judge Pei Ci's strength.
"Quickly inform Senior Apprentice Brother Shen." Zhuo Qing hurriedly said to his companions in a low voice. Actually, from his point of view, Shen Wuyin was useless. He only regretted that he forgot to ask Liu Wu for a direct method of contact.
Yi Feng's four companions did not interfere in last night's matter. But seeing Zhuo Qing's expression, they knew that Pei Ci did not come with good intentions. Receiving Zhuo Qing's orders, they wanted to send a letter. However, Pei Ci was standing in front of them. They didn't know if they would be noticed. They couldn't care about so much at the moment. The four signaled with their eyes. Luo Qin and Guan Xun lowered their heads and walked out. Pei Ci looked and did not stop them. She only asked, "Senior Apprentice Brother Shen? Is that your companion from last night? "
As expected!
When Zhuo Qing heard this, he was completely sure. But the other treated Senior Apprentice Brother Shen as his companion? Zhuo Qing understood this misunderstanding after thinking about it. Lu Ping did not know Liu Wu, so he naturally could not say anything. When Pei Ci heard that he was going to ask for help, she thought it was his companion from last night.
"What does Senior Apprentice Sister Pei Ci need from me?" Zhuo Qing had to speak. He also wanted to say a few more words to stall for time.
"Let's go out and talk." Who would have thought that Pei Ci would walk out of the courtyard. "I will wait for you and your companion."
