Chapter 1731 Mu Liuqing

"Roar!" Her action successfully enraged the spirits.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose all around!

The plaster began to peel off, and dense spots and moss began to climb up the wall.

A suction force seemed to be trying to drag Ruan Yu down.

Ruan Yu did not resist and fell with the force of the fall, after which a great white light shone from her body.

The pure and flawless divine power of light enveloped the spirits, causing them to let out painful screams.

The spirits tried to escape, but Ruan Yu raised her hand and set up a restriction, trapping all the spirits inside.

The leading vengeful ghost tried desperately to break out of the barrier, but as soon as it crashed into it, it was blasted to ashes by the powerful force that bounced out from within the barrier.

Upon seeing this, the spirits immediately froze in place.

"Aren't you coming down?" Ruan Yu stared intently at one spot.

On the roof of the dormitory, a slender figure shrouded in black mist stood.

Because she was enveloped in yin energy, Ruan Yu could not see her face.

But it was clear that it was a woman.

No, to be precise, she was a female ghost.

"Release them." The female ghost leaped down from the rooftop and stood fearlessly in front of Ruan Yu.

She wasn't confident; rather, she was... at a loss.

Ruan Yu's strength was beyond her ability to contend with, and now she could think of no other way but to submit.

“Okay.” Ruan Yu had no objection. With a flick of her finger, the restrictions binding the Yin spirits dissipated.

The spirits, like the sea, avoided Ruan Yu and flowed behind the female ghost.

Then, the female ghost removed the ghostly domain, revealing the original appearance of the girls' dormitory, which was the abandoned state that Ruan Yu had seen during the day.

The spirits had disappeared, but Ruan Yu could still sense a faint trace of their presence in the air.

She had sensed this aura during the day, but at night, the ghostly energy was noticeably stronger.

The female ghost could tell that Ruan Yu was not an unreasonable person: "We have no intention of being your enemy. Since you have already killed that little ghost who offended you, you may leave now."

She was referring to the vengeful ghost that had just been killed by Ruan Yu and was hanging by the window.

No matter what, Ruan Yu is in the wrong.

Because the spirits weren't provoked.

Ruan Yu had wandered into their territory without any reason and even killed a vengeful ghost.

But there's no way around it; this world rules by strength. Might makes right.

"There's something I want to figure out." Ruan Yu still hasn't found the source of the evil energy. Perhaps asking the academy's native inhabitants might yield some clues.

She told the female ghost about the evil aura emanating from Teacher Fang.

The female ghost was clearly aware of the situation; her already pale face became even more ashen: "I advise you, sir, not to continue the investigation."

"As a result, you probably can't afford it."

"What if I insist on investigating?" Ruan Yu narrowed her eyes.

I started to wonder if there was any connection between evil spirits and female ghosts.

"...It's hard to reason with a damned ghost." The female ghost was silent for a while, then sighed.

Ruan Yu: "It seems like you're the ghost."

The female ghost choked: "..."

"I can give you some clues, but I would like to ask you for a favor."

"tell me the story."

"Help us... destroy the Academy of All Souls!" As soon as the female ghost finished speaking, the spirits that had been speaking in a low voice all started to wail with sorrow, pain, and hatred.

"Kill! Kill Wan Qianqiu!" One of the ghosts even went so far as to self-destruct, leaving a blood-red "death" character in the air. After she completely dissipated, a small amount of her yin energy entered the female ghost's body.

"No!" The female ghost reached out to grab something, but grasped nothing.

An extremely sorrowful expression appeared on her face. However, Ruan Yu couldn't see that the female ghost's face was obscured by black mist.

Several more ghosts have self-destructed.

Their demise was exchanged for the female ghost's increased power.

"Go back, all of you!" The female ghost's eyes were filled with blood; she was furious. She used her power to force all the spirits back.

Ruan Yu vaguely sensed that something was amiss. "Wan Qianqiu, is that the name of the current dean of Wanling Academy?"

"Yes." The female ghost clenched her fists, her back teeth clenched tightly. Even so, the hatred in her eyes still flowed out.

"Kill Wan Qianqiu and destroy Wanling Academy, and I will personally take you to see her!" The female ghost was agitated.

I accidentally let it slip.

Ruan Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is the source of the evil energy one person?"

The female ghost paused for a moment, then stopped hiding it: "Yes, she came to me and offered to make a deal with me."

"But I don't trust her; the aura emanating from her makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"So, you haven't agreed to her yet?" Ruan Yu stroked her chin. "She might come looking for you again later. I just need to wait and see..."

Upon hearing this, the female ghost panicked, as she had finally encountered a powerful figure like Ruan Yu.

Don't miss this opportunity!

She wanted to prove her worth: "I know you're very capable, but that person isn't weak either. If you two fight, you'll both be severely injured! I can help you."

"Deal." Ruan Yu agreed without hesitation.

She said that on purpose to tease the female ghost, but she didn't expect the ghost to react so strongly.

"My name is Mu Liuqing." The black aura surrounding the female ghost dissipated, revealing a beautiful face.

Five hundred years ago, the Academy of All Souls wasn't called the Academy of All Souls.

"It was originally called Holy Spirit Academy, and I was just an ordinary instructor there. Not long after I took the position, Wan Qianqiu also took it. He said he fell in love with me at first sight and then pursued me intensely."

At this point, a bitter smile appeared on Mu Liuqing's lips. As a young girl, she naively believed in love, and coupled with Wan Qianqiu's good looks, she quickly fell for his charms.

“I believed his lies and fell in love with him. Not long after we started dating, I discovered that Wan Qianqiu was a complete fraud. He didn’t love me; he just wanted to use my connections to climb the social ladder.”

"The previous lord of Holy Spirit City was my father."

“I don’t care about any of that. I love him, and I’m willing to give him all my connections and resources. But he…”

The hatred in Mu Liuqing's eyes almost materialized: "He shouldn't have, he shouldn't have, attacked my innocent students!"

"The children behind me... have all suffered at the hands of Wan Qianqiu! Wan Qianqiu... deserves to die!"

Mu Liuqing refused to say, nor could she reveal, the specifics of the poisoning.

It hurts...it really hurts...

These are all children! At such a tender age, still innocent and naive about matters between men and women, they've been targeted by that scumbag Wan Qianqiu!

Mu Liuqing calmed herself down and said, "After the truth was exposed, Wan Qianqiu killed me. I thought that was the end of it, but I never expected..."
