Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Then, he finally understood why his ability had failed.

The blade that was stabbing towards Duan Mingyuan's heart hovered ten centimeters away from him, as if there was an invisible wall blocking him outside.

Then, Duan Mingyuan's hand broke through the invisible wall and grabbed his wrist.

"I see. You plan to kill the teacher of the "Defense Against Evil Spirits" class in advance, and then disguise yourself as him to sneak into Yunhai Academy. The dean is the one who decides to hire a teacher. No one except him knows which messenger will take me to the academy."

The man in black stared at Duan Mingyuan in horror.

He didn't reveal a word, and the other party seemed to break into his brain and forcibly read the memories inside.

After that, Duan Mingyuan turned to Yun Lin and asked, "Hidden Butterfly, have you heard of this organization?"

Yunlin shook her head hesitantly, she seemed to be still in a dream at this moment.

For some reason, she felt that Duan Mingyuan was much more terrifying than the two attackers.

She subconsciously looked at the pebble that had just rolled to the ground - less than a minute ago, it was a living human being.

For a moment, she actually had the same question as the man in black.

The dean...

What kind of monster was invited?

"That's all I have."

Duan Mingyuan was not satisfied with the discussion of this conference. There was not much valuable information in the memory of the men in black. They were cultivated by an organization called "Hidden Butterfly" since childhood, and a large amount of drugs that amplified life energy were injected into their bodies. This was the first mission they received.

Ambush the teacher of the Evil Defense Class and sneak into the academy under his disguise.

Once they enter the academy, an insider will contact them.

"I don't need to interrogate you to know anything about you. Everything about your life is written in your life energy."

Out of respect, Duan Mingyuan explained to the man in black. He stared at the light drifting in front of him. Another pebble fell to the ground. "If you want to blame someone, blame Lucky Braised Chicken."

Since the two guests had no intention of attending the seminar, he naturally would not force them.

After personally seeing off the two guests, Duan Mingyuan returned to Yun Lin and asked, "Miss Yun Lin, can you check if there is anything else wrong with you?"

"okay."

Yun Lin nodded tremblingly and checked her body according to Duan Mingyuan's instructions.

But the next moment, she was startled, her tone suddenly became anxious, her two wings reached towards her head, and she spoke with a crying tone, "Where is the red hair on my head? Why is it gone?"

"what?"

"The red crested rouge is gone! Woohoo, I'm bald!"

At this time, Jiu Yue also leaned out of the scroll and asked with concern, "Mr. Mingyuan, Miss Yunlin, you... Hey? Who are you?"

She stood still, staring blankly at Yunlin who was covering her head and crying.

Duan Mingyuan explained, "This is Miss Yunlin."

"Mr. Mingyuan, please stop lying. How can this be Miss Yunlin?"

September, who has extensive knowledge of chickens, expressed his authoritative opinion, "It's a pelican!"

Small Theatre No. 5:

Friday, morning

The "Magical Monsters" course has once again become the most popular course among students at Yunhai Academy. Since it was taught in September, it has won the top spot in the popular vote for five consecutive years.

Today, the academy specially invited Teacher Jiu Yue for an exclusive interview.

"I am very happy to invite Teacher Jiu Yue to participate in this interview today. Hello, teacher. You have won the "Most Popular Teacher of the Year" vote many times. What do you want to say about this?"

"thanks for your support."

Jiu Yue sat upright and showed a decent smile to the camera.

"What are your secrets for campaigning?"

"I think that what's more important than canvassing for votes is the little things you do every day. If I have to tell you the secret, it's that I practice every day."

"Oh? Can you tell us what kind of practice it is?"

"Let a gentleman who likes me like me a little more every day."

……

"Suck it."

Duan Mingyuan looked at Jiu Yue's bright smile in the live broadcast while eating steaming chicken noodle soup.

This time, his "popularity" vote remained in the middle tier as usual, receiving the most mixed reviews.

Jealousy is terrible.

If nothing unexpected happens, his popularity will drop again after this interview.

Chapter 85 Do you want a golden axe or a silver axe?

There are more than just cranes in this world.

There are also egrets, pelicans, gulls and geese.

Although September calls them all white-feathered chickens, she can tell the difference between each subspecies of chicken. In her words, she will never forget the selfless dedication of every friend and will always remember the warmth they bring to her.

However, Duan Mingyuan is different.

He had done almost no in-depth research on birds, and from the above materials, he could only tell that the goose looked a little different from a few others.

With the help of bird expert Jiu Yue, Duan Mingyuan was finally able to restore Miss Yunlin to her original appearance little by little. When the red hair on her head returned, Yunlin almost cried for joy.

But then, her eyes began to roll restlessly.

"Is this okay?"

Duan Mingyuan scratched his head apologetically.

"On the surface, there's nothing wrong."

Yun Lin's cold voice changed a little, becoming much lighter than usual, and she seemed to be lacking in confidence.

"On the surface?"

"I may not have told you before, but I have the blood of the Phoenix in my body."

In her eyes, Duan Mingyuan has become a kind river god. She admits that she may not be a good child, but facing this opportunity that may only come once in her lifetime, she still wants the golden axe.

Yun Lin couldn't control herself when she thought of the scene where she would suddenly let out a long chant in front of her clansmen after returning to the academy, and then transform into a phoenix and fly up to the clouds while emitting golden light in full view of everyone.

Just now, the respectable and lovely "River God" had explained his ability to her. As long as it was within his cognition, he could complete the reconstruction.

Yun Lin pulled herself together and tried her best not to reveal any flaws. "When necessary, I can actually turn into a phoenix."

It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. What matters is that from now on, she is a phoenix.

"Phoenix?" Duan Mingyuan looked troubled. "What does a phoenix look like?"

"The Phoenix is..."

"Mr. Mingyuan, let me explain."

Jiu Yue narrowed her eyes and examined Yun Lin.

The little crane looked serious, but he was not honest at all. "The phoenix is ​​a divine bird that was born from fire. All the fire in the world can be used by them. As far as I know, there is only one way for the phoenix to be reborn from the fire, and that is to roast them on the fire. The one that can be reborn from the fire is the phoenix."

"What if I can't be reborn?"

"That can't be wasted."

When Yunlin saw the barbecue sauce that Jiuyue took out, her face turned pale with fear and she immediately said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I don't have the bloodline of the Phoenix. I won't dare to do it again!"

The "River God" is kind and friendly, but there is also a terrible ogre living in the pond.

Woo, damn ogre!

She picked up the scroll with her beak and said, "We must hurry back to the academy and tell the dean the news. The other messengers may have been ambushed as well."

The rest of the journey was smooth and before dawn, Yunlin arrived at the foot of Qingchi Peak with the scroll.

Of course, this may be directly related to Duan Mingyuan's promulgation of "forbidden to eat lucky braised chicken in the tea room". Dragging his luggage out of the scroll, Duan Mingyuan quickly understood the reason why Yunhai Academy had not been discovered by the company for hundreds of years - Qingchi Peak was shrouded in a barrier, and the cave behind was the only entrance to the barrier. If you want to enter here, you may need to use some special means.

This is also the reason why the messengers wanted to keep the people entering and leaving Qingchi Peak in the scroll. If they failed to master this method, even if they found the entrance, they could only wander in the cave.

But this was only the first line of defense set up by our predecessors at Qingchi Peak.

"There are traps all over Qingchi Peak. If you are not careful, you will get lost. You must follow me closely. I will take you there once. Please remember the route up the mountain."

Yunlin walked at the front of the team.

Duan Mingyuan in the team was very alert. This was the real use of the ability he advocated. When the aliens from outer space came hundreds of years ago, a group of people with lofty ideals had the same idea as him.

After that, successive presidents of Yunhai Academy used their lifelong learning to create this true paradise.

"The scroll is the passage, the melody in the mountains is the guide, the inscription on the stone tablet is the guide, and if you look down from the top of the mountain, the formation in the mountains is a chess game... What are you doing?"

When Yunlin turned around, she saw four people taking out their mobile phones and taking pictures everywhere.

"Take pictures."

Jiu Yue said in a matter-of-fact tone. She had no interest in rote memorization. She preferred the modern way. "Isn't it enough to just take pictures of each mechanism in order?"

"Oh, ah, well, that's one way to do it."

Yunlin hesitated for a long time, and suppressed all the interpretations of rhythm, calligraphy and painting, and chess games that she had prepared in her heart. She still remembered what the elders in the academy said when she was a child. If you don't want to get lost in the mountains, you must understand the meaning of each mechanism. This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors, and later generations often need several years to appreciate the mystery.

But now, times have changed.

The camera function of the mobile phone completely saves them the time of understanding and comprehension.

For some reason, Yunlin suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.

She didn't say anything else along the way. When everyone passed the last ink painting, the magnificent Yunhai Academy appeared before their eyes.

It was the last darkness before dawn, but the academy was surprisingly lively. Seeing Yun Lin and the people behind him, the people in the academy rushed forward. The one walking in the front was a white-haired old man with a fairy-like appearance. He was wearing a simple green Taoist robe. As soon as he approached, he asked anxiously, "Did you meet anyone else outside the mountain?"

The fire dispelled the darkness and everyone looked at Yunlin.

That night, all the teachers in the academy stayed up all night. Just an hour ago, the teacher sent by the academy to investigate the situation also lost contact. The entire academy seemed to have become an isolated island.

Yunlin is the only messenger who returned to the academy in the past few days.

Yun Lin bowed respectfully to the old man and replied, "We were ambushed on the way, and it was Teacher Ming Yuan who saved me. Apart from that, we didn't meet anyone else."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar, and the teachers in the academy looked at each other with serious expressions.

Although they had a vague premonition, when Yunlin brought back the confirmed news, panic inevitably spread among the crowd.

Yun Lin recalled the situation when she was attacked and said, "If other messengers were also attacked by the same group of people, they would most likely be in great danger, and the new students would also be in danger..."

“Who are the attackers and what is their purpose?”

a teacher in the crowd asked sharply.

"Kill the witnesses, and then sneak into Yunhai Academy as a teacher of the 'Defense against Evil Spirits' class."

Duan Mingyuan said.

As he spoke, he observed the expressions of everyone present.

The rest of the teachers were all bewildered, except for the white-haired old man. He was startled at first, then he said, "It's getting late. Yunlin, you should take the newcomers back to their rooms to rest. Teacher Mingyuan, please come with me."

Chapter 86 People in the Court

It's been a really eventful time lately.

Duan Mingyuan didn't expect that he would encounter such a change when he came to Yunhai Academy to teach happily. He now couldn't help but seriously suspect that Jiuyue's learning of Ruihu's skills might not be a good thing for the people around him. According to the law of conservation of fortune, the luckier they are, the more unlucky some people will be.

It is obvious that Yunhai Academy’s recent fortunes have become so bad that they cannot be worse.

After a brief conversation along the way, he learned that the white-haired old man was named Mo Song, the current dean of Yunhai Academy.

The dean had a serious look on his face as he took him around the academy. Duan Mingyuan noticed that the spatial structure inside the academy was very special. Different areas were connected not by doors but by a series of ink paintings. Thanks to this, the actual space inside the academy was much wider than it looked from the outside.
