"You've already missed it, don't think too much about it …"
After a long while, Wan Hongwen finally restrained the restlessness in his heart and comforted Fenghao.
"Don't worry, Principal. I understand."
Feng Hao let out a sigh and smiled. He wasn't as regretful and depressed as he had imagined.
Everything was destined. There was no need to think too much about it after it's over. Because even if you regret it, there's no use.
"It's good that you understand."
Wan Hongwen was also afraid that Feng Hao would be unhappy with Liu Canyan because of this, which wasn't a good thing for the Mortal Emperor Residence.
Then, there was a period of silence.
"By the way, Principal, how's the gathering of the spiritual herbs and materials that I need?"
Fenghao opened his mouth and asked after thinking about the reason for his visit.
It was already the third day. If he didn't resolve it today, then he would miss the opportunity to enter the Dao Comprehension Grounds.
"I've already gathered everything yesterday."
Wan Hongwen put down the various thoughts in his heart. He flipped his hand, took out a ring, and passed it to Feng Hao.
Of course, this wasn't his own ability. The main thing was that he asked the Left Protector to raise the grade of the mission. Naturally, the students would fight to complete the mission. Moreover, it was a rule that anyone could accept it. First come, first served. Therefore, in just a little more than a day, all the spiritual herbs and materials were quickly collected.
In fact, this was the usual method of the Elysium Academy. If they wanted to be fast, they would issue this type of mission. It was easy, and the credits were high. The only thing that needed was speed. If they were slow, even if they obtained the materials, it would be a wasted trip.
"Thank you, Principal."
After glancing at the items in the ring, Feng Hao's slightly gloomy face bloomed with joy. He cupped his hands and thanked Wan Hongwen.
"It's just a small matter."
Seeing him like this, a smile appeared on Wan Hongwen's face. Then, seeing that Ye Futian was a little anxious, Wan Hongwen said, "You can go first. Remember to gather at the Dao Comprehension Grounds tomorrow."
"I'll remember."
Feng Hao nodded. "Then, I'll take my leave."
After obtaining the materials, he was also anxious. He desperately wanted Qing Wu and her daughter to recover their memories so that the family could truly reunite.
Thus, he did not exchange any more pleasantries. He exited the study and hurriedly ran toward his own small courtyard.
"Thirty-one minutes."
Wan Hongwen's eyes flickered with excitement as he watched the figure disappear into the distance. He was unable to calm down.
If this was true, then Feng Hao's achievements would definitely surpass the achievements of the previous Masters of the Illusory Martial Arts. Perhaps, he would be able to reach a higher realm.
Moreover, from Feng Hao's words, he understood that even if he stayed for twice the amount of time, it was still possible …
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Shua."
A faint air-piercing sound rang out, and a figure landed at the door of his study.
"Dean Wan, the Left Protector requests your presence."
A cold and emotionless voice rang out, and no emotions could be heard from it.
"Are you here?"
A glint flashed across Wan Hongwen's eyes. "I know."
After sorting out his emotions and returning to normal, he left the study and flew toward the tallest mountain not far away.
When he arrived, the deans and the two Protectors of the other three courtyards were already in the main hall.
The other Protector looked much younger than the Left Protector. Her hair was dark green, and she was a woman. Her appearance was still the same.
Of course, no one would look down on her just because she was a woman. Being able to sit in this position meant that she possessed sufficient strength.
After Wan Hongwen arrived, the white-haired old man with a youthful face began to speak with a serious expression …
Naturally, it was because of the news from Penglai. Someone had entered the Oracle Mountain for thirty-one minutes, and it was rumored that he walked out on his own.
This news shocked the entire Penglai world. All the large forces and races on the Hundred Races Continent were shaken, and no one could ignore it.
Thus, after he revealed the news, the Left Protector and the other three deans could not maintain their composure. All of them cried out in surprise and shouted that it was impossible.
Wan Hongwen was the only one who was exclaiming in shock. However, his eyes were clearly calmer than the other four.
The white-haired, youthful-faced old man merely took a glance and discovered this abnormality. Immediately, his brows involuntarily knitted together. However, his expression did not change as he continued speaking. "I believe that all of you understand what these thirty-one minutes represent."
The five of them nodded in unison with excited expressions.
"Currently, the entire Penglai and the various races are searching for the whereabouts of these two people … However, I've thought about it. Our Mortal Emperor's Mansion will not participate in it. Even if we obtain these two people, it will cause a disaster. So, we'll just send some people to search this area …"
The white-haired old man had thought it through thoroughly.
Although this person was indeed extremely important, with the current Mortal Emperor's Mansion and even the forces of the human race, it was impossible to protect this person. Even if they obtained him by force, it would probably cause a disaster.
However, if they did not send people to search, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of other forces.
After all, no one could ignore this kind of person. If they did not make any movements, they would definitely be suspected, and there would definitely be a lot of trouble when that time came.
"Left Protector, lead the deans to arrange this matter … Oh right, Dean Wan, stay here. I still have something to tell you."
He quickly instructed, and when Wan Hongwen was about to leave, he stopped him.
"Yes."
Although Wan Hongwen was puzzled, he still stopped.
"Follow me."
The white-haired, youthful-faced old man cast a profound glance at him before walking towards the side hall.
In a secret chamber …
"Alright, you can speak now."
As the heavy stone door of the secret chamber was closed, the white-haired old man said directly.
"Left Protector, what are you referring to?"
Wan Hongwen's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and he asked uncertainly.
Vaguely, he seemed to have guessed that the Left Protector had sensed some clues.
"The new champion of the competition, he needs to come into contact with the materials of the Heart-Devouring Poison, as well as the King of Medicine. Dean Wan, what do you think he's going to use them for?"
The white-haired old man glanced at him indifferently, walked to the side, and sat down. He looked at him calmly, as if everything was under his control.
"Haha …"
Hearing this, Wan Hongwen could not help but smile bitterly.
Although he had predicted some King of Medicine that did not fall into the category of Godly Pesticides in order to not expose Feng Hao's identity, he still could not hide it from the big shot in front of him.
"Actually, Lord Left Protector already knew, didn't you?"
He heaved a sigh of relief, smiled faintly, and sat opposite the white-haired old man.
