Somewhere in the academy, Peng Haoye sat gloomily in a dark room. If one looked closely, one would see Abyssal Energy faintly revolve around him.
During this week, Principal Tian had adopted several measures to prevent Peng Haoye from gaining momentum further and even openly supported Lin Taixu to succeed in his position. Although Peng Haoye was confident Principal Tian did not dare to confront him directly, he was still be forced into a corner by his means. This made him furious to the extreme.
Swoosh—
Suddenly, a black swirl appeared before Peng Haoye. It gradually formed into a mirror-like, showing a shadowy figure in it.
Seeing this, Peng Haoye hurriedly downed on one knee and said respectfully with his head bowed. "My lord."
The lord in the mirror seemed to glance at Peng Haoye and said. "You've failed." Its voice was incomparably cold that could freeze anyone's soul.
Cold sweats immediately appeared on Peng Haoye as his body invisibly shivered. "I am willing to receive any punishment, my lord."
The lord went silent for a while before it said. "In a few days, I will send someone over. He will tell you the plan. Remember, this is your last chance."
Peng Haoye was relieved and hurriedly replied. "Understood, my lord."
A moment later, the black mirror slowly blended into the darkness and vanished completely. Peng Haoye stood and stared at the disappearing mirror. His eyes were overflowing with killing intent as he clenched his fists and said with deep hatred. "Han Bingling, Yun Lintian. I will definitely make you pay the price!"

At this moment, Yun Lintian was dragged along the streets by Nantian Fengyu like a sack. This scene was hilarious, immediately attracted many onlookers on the way.
"Slow down, fifth sister. Do you know where we are going to?" Yun Lintian said helplessly. He had completely given up the resistance and let Nantian Fengyu drag him away freely.
Nantian Fengyu stopped her tracks and turned to look at Yun Lintian innocently. "I don't know. Why don't you tell me then?"
Yun Lintian was speechless. He retracted his arm from Nantian Fengyu and looked for the direction briefly. "We should go to the Star River Hall. That place should have everything we needed."
Nantian Fengyu blinked her eyes cutely and said. "Good junior brother! I know that place. Let's go!"
Following that, Yun Lintian was dragged away by her once again. The two traveled for half an hour before arriving in front of a luxury seven-story building with a massive Star River Hall sign on it.
The Star River Hall was a trading hall under the Lin clan. It was mainly engaged in materials exchange. Anything besides a magical plant could be found here.
Nantian Fengyu didn't hesitate to pull Yun Lintian into the building and went straight toward a long reception counter.
"I want to buy a lot of bamboos." Nantian Fengyu immediately said upon arriving at the counter. Her voice was so milky, making a female clerk treat her like a kid.
The female clerk smiled warmly at her and turned to Yun Lintian. "May I know what are you looking for, sir?"
Being ignored by the clerk, Nantian Fengyu pouted angrily. "I said, I need a lot of bamboos."
The clerk still smiled warmly at her and turned back to Yun Lintian again, thoroughly treating Nantian Fengyu's words as a kid's nonsense.
Yun Lintian quickly said before Nantian Fengyu getting angry. "Just as she said. We want to buy a high-quality bamboo."
The clerk nodded and flipped through a book nearby her briefly before placing it in front of Yun Lintian. "I don't know which grade do you want, sir?"
Yun Lintian looked at the content of the book shortly and said. "You can give us the Heaven grade. I want as many as your hall has."
The clerk was surprised. She didn't expect Yun Lintian to be a big customer. She didn't question whether Yun Lintian could pay it and immediately went to check the inventory.
While waiting for the clerk, Yun Lintian flipped through the book to look for other materials. He was quite surprised upon seeing there were a lot of materials available here, and all of them ranged from the lowest grade to the Saint grade. It seemed this Star River Hall was as good as people said.
"Let me look at it too!" Nantian Fengyu tried to look at the book, but she was too short to see it.
Yun Lintian sighed inwardly and handed the book to her. The latter grabbed the book happily like a kid who got a new toy.
"Isn't this little girl Nantian?" At this moment, a male voice resounded from behind Yun Lintian and Nantian Fengyu.
Oh, please. Not again… Without turning around, Yun Lintian had already reckoned the classic trouble in the store plot was about to happen.
"Wang Jun!" Nantian Fengyu turned around and said coldly.
The newcomer was Wang Jun, who had been regarded as second to Jiang Yingyue by the masses. He had a handsome face with a somewhat sharp jawline. His eyebrows slanted upward at the end of them, making him look overbearing. His eyes were extremely sharp, like an eagle. As he walked forward, his entire body seemed to exude an oppressing aura that made people did not dare to look at him straightly.
When Yun Lintian heard this name, he turned around and observed the man in a blue robe with great curiosity. Compared to the gentle Jiang Yingyue, this Wang Jun was completely opposite… A high-level classic young master, huh?
As Yun Lintian observed Wang Jun, he suddenly felt a sharp Spiritual Sense swept over his body. It was at this moment did he notice a young man clad in a white robe behind Wang Jun. This person was eighty percent resembled Wang Jun, but the proud look on his face exceeded the latter. In short, he was definitely not a good bird in Yun Lintian's eyes.
Wang Jun ignored Nantian Fengyu and turned to look at Yun Lintian with a smile.. "You are Yun Lintian? I heard you played a crucial role in the previous incident. Is it true?"
