But the more he checked, the deeper Jiang Ye’s frown beca.
Empty!
All of it was empty!
"How could this be?" A sense of unease rose in Jiang Ye’s heart. By rights, even if Chen Zilu had gone out, she wouldn’t have emptied the entire room, right?
"Did she move sowhere else?" Jiang Ye pondered inwardly.
A mont later.
Whoosh!
Jiang Ye’s figure flickered and vanished from where he stood.
When he appeared again, he was already inside Star Garden No. 11, where he lived.
Just as he arrived, Jiang Ye saw treasures piled all over the floor of the main villa... a vast amount of radiance spilled out, making the entire villa glitter with gold and jade.
"These are?"
"Cultivation treasures?" Jiang Ye’s expression showed surprise. The majority of these treasures were Tier Seven and Tier Eight.
There were even Ninth Tier treasures among them!
Even though Jiang Ye had already obtained many rare treasures, Ninth Tier treasures were still scarce for him.
After all, breaking through the physical body realm also required no small amount of resources.
"These treasures."
A voice sounded by Jiang Ye’s ear: "Were gifted to you by the various Extraordinary Families."
"Teacher?"
Jiang Ye turned around, then cupped his hands and bowed. "I greet Teacher."
The newcor was Qiu Cang.
Although Jiang Ye could now see through the other party’s strength at a glance, he still behaved very respectfully.
"This brat..."
"Why does it feel like after half a year I can’t see through him anymore?" A strange light flashed in Qiu Cang’s eyes.
He didn’t think too much about it and said, "These treasures, at the Alliance Hierarch’s request, were offered by the various Extraordinary Families to exchange for the Talent treasures."
"After all, those Talent treasures were all brought back by you."
Hearing this, Jiang Ye suddenly understood.
On that trip to the Star Realm Sea, he had brought back many treasures for Blue Star that could be used to advance Talents.
"There are dozens of Ninth Tier treasures alone." Jiang Ye swept his gaze over them, nodding inwardly. "Looks like these Extraordinary Families really bled heavily."
Even for an Extraordinary Family, Ninth Tier treasures were extrely rare.
After all, the Blue Star Civilization was not a Level Two civilization.
Even in so A Grade Opportunity Lands, there were only Tier Six and Tier Seven treasures.
Jiang Ye stopped thinking about it and turned his gaze to Qiu Cang before him.
"Teacher."
"Do you know where Senior Sister went?" Jiang Ye asked, "I saw that she isn’t in Star Garden No. 11, and she doesn’t seem to be on campus either."
Just earlier, Jiang Ye had swept his Telekinesis across the entire academy.
He still hadn’t seen any trace of Chen Zilu.
This made a faint unease rise in Jiang Ye’s heart... Had Senior Sister gone to support against the Shadow Disaster?
"Your senior sister?"
But at Jiang Ye’s words, Qiu Cang froze, then frowned. "You an that girl Shi Ting? She’s at school."
"..."
Jiang Ye was stunned, then hurriedly shook his head. "Teacher, you misunderstand. I an Chen Zilu."
"Who?"
"Chen Zilu?" Qiu Cang looked confused. "I’ve never heard this na you ntioned. As far as I know, there doesn’t seem to be such a person in White Dragon University."
Jiang Ye’s face was full of shock.
Never heard of her?
How was that possible!
Chen Zilu was clearly Qiu Cang’s personal disciple, wasn’t she?
"Teacher, are you getting confused?" Jiang Ye couldn’t help saying, "Chen Zilu is also your disciple. She’s always lived in Star Garden No. 10."
"Nonsense!"
"Star Garden No. 10 hasn’t had a resident in recent years." Qiu Cang shook his head. "And I have never taken on a disciple nad ’Chen Zilu.’"
At this point.
"Jiang Ye."
"You didn’t run into sothing during this half-year of seclusion, did you?" Qiu Cang looked at him in puzzlent. "Why are you starting to talk nonsense?"
"How about you go get so rest?" Qiu Cang said with concern.
"Teacher!"
"You’re the one who needs rest, don’t you think?" Jiang Ye said helplessly. "Chen Zilu is my senior sister. If not for her, I wouldn’t have beco your disciple at all."
"Utter nonsense!"
"You were personally recomnded to by Zhu Honglie. How could I possibly forget that?" Qiu Cang said sternly. "As for this so‑called Chen Zilu, she simply doesn’t exist."
"Jiang Ye, I truly think your mind is in disorder. You need a good period of recuperation."
Qiu Cang’s expression turned extrely serious.
He knew that certain powerhouses, after long periods of seclusion, would show signs of cognitive disorder.
Cases like this were not uncommon.
But if it wasn’t adjusted in ti, it could easily lead to a Cultivation Technique backlash, or even going berserk and losing all one’s cultivation.
Yet at this mont, seeing that Jiang Ye still looked absolutely convinced.
Qiu Cang sighed helplessly. "Fine then, I’ll let you see for yourself whether there’s such a person in the academy."
Beep!
He tapped the projection on his wristband.
"Whoosh~" Countless beams of light converged to form a light screen, which displayed the White Dragon University student list.
As a High-level professor and also an Eight Breaks powerhouse, Qiu Cang possessed many permissions and could view the information of all students.
Soon, he searched for the three characters "Chen Zilu" on the page.
[No such person found]
"Jiang Ye, do you believe it now?" Qiu Cang sighed. "There simply isn’t this person you ntioned in the academy."
Jiang Ye stared at the light screen in near disbelief.
How could this be?
Could the academy have expelled Senior Sister?
But Qiu Cang, as Senior Sister’s teacher, wouldn’t claim not to know her, would he?
What exactly had happened over this past half year?
"Teacher, I’ll go rest first." Jiang Ye didn’t say more and turned back to his room.
"Ah, this child." Qiu Cang let out a sigh.
He had originally co to bid farewell.
But seeing Jiang Ye’s ntal state like this, the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back down.
"Let this brat calm down for a bit first."
"In a few days, when I’m about to leave, I’ll co and say goodbye." Qiu Cang sighed inwardly and turned to leave.
...
Inside the villa.
After sensing that Qiu Cang had left, Jiang Ye didn’t stay long at ho. Instead, he turned into a streak of Flowing Light and flew toward another area.
Star Garden No. 20.
"Senior Sister Zhao." Jiang Ye looked at the girl in the blue dress before him. "Do you know where Chen Zilu went?"
