Lu Zhang could not take it any longer. As he rolled on the ground, he begged, "Brother Lin, I'll tell you, I'll tell you … I'll tell you everything …"
Seeing this, Linlong removed the restriction and said coldly, "Tell me the truth, otherwise I don't mind letting you try again."
Lu Zhang did not dare to play any tricks. He answered honestly, "Brother Lin, Senior Sister Fan was indeed killed by me … As for the Black Assassin Organization, I was the one who called them over."
"So, you used the crystals you got from Fan Youhe to hire the people from the Black Assassin Organization to deal with me?" Linlong asked coldly.
How could the intelligent Linlong not figure out what was going on? Otherwise, Lu Zhang would not have any reason to kill Fan Youhe.
"That's right. Because I didn't have the crystals to hire the people from the Black Assassin Organization, I could only target Senior Sister Fan," Lu Zhang said bitterly.
"I didn't expect you to be such a person, Lu Zhang!" Linlong's face darkened.
He had seen how well Fan Youhe treated Lu Zhang. He did not expect Lu Zhang to target Fan Youhe for his own selfish desires.
It's all because of you! Lu Zhang thought to himself.
Naturally, he did not dare to say that out loud.
"If that's the case, ask the people from the Black Assassin Organization to cancel the mission," Linlong said.
The Black Assassin Organization was so powerful. Linlong felt that there was no need to fight them head-on.
"Alright, I'll tell the people from the Black Assassin Organization to cancel the mission," Lu Zhang said bitterly.
Xie Tong said, "Master, the Black Assassin Organization will never cancel this mission, even if Lu Zhang told them not to deal with you!"
"Mm, why is that?" Linlong was puzzled.
"It's simple. The Black Assassin Organization has never failed a mission. So, they won't let you go just like that!" Xie Tong said.
"But, after so many years, there should be times when the Black Assassin Organization fails a mission, right?" Lu Zhang was puzzled.
"Of course … but after failing, they will send out stronger people. In the end, they will definitely be able to settle it. That's why they have never failed a mission. So, this time, they will definitely not let you go!" Xie Tong said.
"So, I'm going to fight the people from the Black Assassin Organization?" Linlong frowned.
"Yes, the Black Kill Organization will never let you go until the mission is completed!" Xie Tong said.
"Brother Lin, I truly did not expect it to be like this." Hearing Xie Tong's words, Lu Zhang was naturally so shocked that cold sweat appeared on his back.
Since there was no way to cancel the mission, Linlong would definitely not let him off.
Lin Long ignored him and looked at Xie Tong. "Xie Tong, I'll leave him to you!"
How could Xie Tong not understand Lin Long's intentions? He immediately nodded. "Young Master, don't worry!"
"Brother Lin, spare my life!" Lu Zhang hurriedly begged for mercy.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tong punched him in the head and knocked him out.
After that, Linlong asked, "Xie Tong, aren't you afraid that others will find out about this place … Or, why don't you use this place to seek some benefits for yourself?"
"Young Master, only a few people and I know about this place. Their mouths are sealed, so we don't have to worry about others finding out … As for why I don't use this place for my own benefit, it's because it would be easy for others to find out. That's why I keep it for myself," Xie Tong said.
"I see." Linlong nodded, finally understanding.
After that, he left the place and returned to his residence.
He met up with Shen Jun and Zhang Yue, and after confirming that everything was fine, he returned to the top floor of the library.
What Linlong didn't know was that he was discovered by Zhou Yingxue the moment he entered the library.
Eh? That person seems to be the one who sensed the absolute silence rune in a short period of time! Looking at Linlong, Zhou Yingxue muttered in her heart.
She immediately followed him, intending to strike up a conversation with Linlong and ask him if he was that person.
Since she couldn't get an answer from Shen Jun, she could only turn to Lin Long.
Of course, this was also because she hadn't comprehended her own absolute silence rune after such a long period of time.
Even Elder Fang of the Absolute Silence Rune Hall was puzzled. He didn't know why it was so difficult for Zhou Yingxue.
One must know that everyone in the past was able to comprehend the absolute silence rune in the end.
Elder Fang wanted to help, but he was powerless even though he had rich experience.
Could it be that this lass couldn't advance further? Such a thought flashed through his mind.
Zhou Yingxue, who was following Linlong, quickly revealed a surprised expression because she realized that Linlong had actually walked directly to the top floor of the library.
It couldn't be. Wasn't he a new disciple? How could he enter the top floor of the library? Zhou Yingxue was dumbfounded.
Could this person really be talented? Such a thought flashed through Zhou Yingxue's mind.
She was afraid that she wouldn't know when she would see Linlong again if she left this place. Hence, Zhou Yingxue didn't plan to leave and kept guarding the entrance of the library.
She waited for half a day, but Linlong still hadn't come down from above.
Seeing that Zhou Yingxue didn't leave and didn't go in to read, the person guarding the entrance couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister Zhou, who are you waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for a friend," Zhou Yingxue replied casually.
Seeing that Zhou Yingxue had no intention of paying attention to him, the person left.
Zhou Yingxue continued to wait there.
She waited for another two days. During this time, Linlong still didn't come down.
During this process, there were naturally many curious people who came over to ask Zhou Yingxue why she was standing there.
Zhou Yingxue casually replied to them.
It wasn't until the next day that Linlong walked out from the top floor.
He had actually stayed for another three days. It was unknown if he had already made up his mind. Seeing Linlong walk out, the masked man thought to himself.
Linlong must have a lot of questions in his heart. I might as well seize this opportunity to get close to him and give him some pointers. This way, when he becomes stronger one day, I might be able to bask in some of his glory. Such a thought flashed through the person's mind again.
A genius like Linlong wasn't common. He didn't mind teaching him a little.
However, he eventually gave up on such a plan because his responsibilities were limited. It wouldn't be good if the elders or the dean of the academy found out.
After greeting the man, Linlong walked down the stairs.
Seeing Linlong come down, Zhou Yingxue quickly went up to him.
"Young Master, sorry to disturb you," Zhou Yingxue hurriedly said.
Due to her nervousness, her voice was a little shaky.
"Hmm?" Hearing this voice beside him, Linlong raised his head and saw Zhou Yingxue's purple mask.
When he walked down, he had been thinking about a problem, so he didn't have time to notice Zhou Yingxue.
Although he spent another three days, he still had many unresolved problems.
When he raised his head, he saw Zhou Yingxue. Seeing her, he was naturally a little happy.
"So it's Miss Zhou. May I know what business you have with me?" Linlong smiled.
Seeing Linlong speak to her amiably, Zhou Yingxue couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. She was worried that he would ignore her. After all, he was such a genius.
Zhou Yingxue looked around and said, "I have some questions to ask you, Young Master, but there are a little too many people here …"
"Then, Miss Zhou, please find a place." Linlong smiled.
Zhou Yingxue was even more delighted. She hurriedly nodded and said, "Alright then … Young Master, please follow me."
He immediately led Linlong out of the room.
It can't be. Miss Zhou waited in the library for a few days just to wait for that brat? The surrounding people couldn't help but feel envious when they saw this.
It would be fine if Linlong was an outstanding senior brother, but he was clearly a new disciple who had just entered the academy.
Not long after, Zhou Yingxue brought Linlong to a slightly secluded pavilion.
There were many such pavilions in the academy. Moreover, the academy was filled with lush trees to provide a peaceful environment for the disciples.
The moment they arrived, Zhou Yingxue felt a little embarrassed. "Young Master, may I know your name?"
She only remembered Linlong's silhouette and naturally didn't know his name.
"My surname is Lin, and my name is Long." Linlong replied.
"So it's Young Master Lin. I called you here to ask you about something …" Zhou Yingxue paused for a moment before continuing, "Previously in the Extreme Silence Runes Hall, Young Master Lin, did you comprehend the Extreme Silence Runes very quickly?"
Hearing Zhou Yingxue's question, Linlong naturally knew that his guess was correct. "It seems like Miss Zhou hasn't comprehended the absolute silence rune yet?"
"Young Master Lin, how did you know?" Zhou Yingxue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
It was embarrassing for her to not be able to comprehend the absolute silence rune after so many days. After all, she was quite talented in the past.
"The little fatty you asked about before is actually my friend." Lin Long smiled indifferently.
"Is that so …" After a slight pause, Zhou Yingxue's eyes lit up as she thought of something. She immediately asked, "Does that mean that he was able to comprehend the absolute silence rune in such a short period of time because of you?"
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"Then, can you teach me how to comprehend the absolute silence rune?" Zhou Yingxue hurriedly asked.
At this moment, she had an uneasy expression on her face. She was afraid that Linlong would reject her.
"Sure." Linlong nodded and changed the topic, "But I would like to ask you a question first."
"What question?" Zhou Yingxue was puzzled.
"Are you the third princess of the Ice Peak Nation?" Linlong asked directly.
This was the reason why he came. If she wasn't, then he wouldn't be interested.
"This …" Zhou Yingxue was clearly a little hesitant.
Zhou Yingxue's reaction made Linlong's eyes light up. It seemed that she might really be the third princess of the Ice Peak Nation.
"Don't worry, I won't reveal your identity." Linlong hurriedly said.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yingxue asked, "Why do you want to know this?"
"I have something that I need the third princess' help with," Linlong replied.
"I can't tell you that." Zhou Yingxue shook her head and continued, "If you need to know the answer before you can teach me, then I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."
After speaking, Zhou Yingxue turned around and walked out.
"Wait!" Linlong suddenly said as he looked at her back.
"Are you changing your mind?" Zhou Yingxue turned around and asked.
"If you can really teach me, I can give you enough in return," Zhou Yingxue added.
"There's no need for that. I'll teach you for free," Linlong said.
The reason why he did this was because he felt that Zhou Yingxue might really be the third princess. Since she refused to tell him her true identity, there must be something troubling her. Based on her personality, if he helped her like this, she would definitely remember it. When the time came, she might be able to help him.
Even if she wasn't the third princess, there wouldn't be any harm for Linlong to help her.
This was also because of her personality.
Linlong believed that he would definitely not be wrong about Zhou Yingxue.
"Really?" Zhou Yingxue couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Of course," Linlong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin," Zhou Yingxue said.
She was truly grateful. Even if she still couldn't comprehend the Absolute Silence Rune using Linlong's method, she would still think of how to repay him.
"Young Master Lin, what should I do?" Zhou Yingxue asked.
"Go to the Absolute Silence Rune Hall and sense it. Remember the runes you sense and tell me when you're done," Linlong said.
"Could it be that you can see through the meaning of those runes?" Zhou Yingxue couldn't help but ask.
"You'll know when the time comes," Linlong pretended to be mysterious.
The two of them then headed to the Absolute Silence Rune Hall. When they arrived at the entrance, Linlong stopped and said, "I'll wait for you in the resting room."
"Alright." Zhou Yingxue nodded and walked in.
Linlong went to the resting room to wait.
After greeting Elder Fang, Zhou Yingxue walked into the room.
This time, I'm going to return disappointed. Looking at Zhou Yingxue's back, Elder Fang thought to himself.
He didn't need to use the word 'guess' because every time he had hope for Zhou Yingxue, she was unable to sense the Absolute Silence Rune.
What surprised Elder Fang was that Zhou Yingxue walked out of the room in just a short while.
Usually, she would need to stay for at least an hour. Why was she so quick this time? Could it be that she had already sensed the Absolute Silence Rune? This abnormality caused such a thought to emerge in Elder Fang's mind.
He immediately asked, "Young lady, could it be that you've already sensed the Absolute Silence Rune?"
"Elder Fang, that's all. I just came out to look for some inspiration," Zhou Yingxue said with a smile.
After saying that, Zhou Yingxue walked out.
Elder Fang felt that something was amiss because under normal circumstances, how could Zhou Yingxue smile when she couldn't sense the Absolute Silence Rune?
Perhaps she had some clues. Such a thought flashed through his mind.
After coming out, Zhou Yingxue naturally went to the resting room to look for Linlong.
As Elder Fang was in the hall, he didn't know that Zhou Yingxue had entered the resting room.
