Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 159: Elder Wen

Qinghe nodded slightly, "Dean."

Elder Li: "Wen Qifeng, you've come at the perfect time! The Holy Maiden of the Beiyou Ni Clan has appeared. Capture her, and we can avenge those humans who died tragically because of the Beiyou Domain!"

Feng Siyue's gaze slowly turned wary. Were they here to arrest them too?

The old man shook his head. "Li Shuolong, I'm not here to help you. I think you've misunderstood."

"They are not from the Beiyouni tribe."

Qinghe frowned upon hearing this. "Dean, the sacred relic of the Beiyou Ni clan, the Youlan Dream Crystal, is on her. I couldn't possibly be mistaken!"

Orchid Dream Crystal?

Wen Qifeng turned his head.

Xuan Li noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, or more precisely, on the purple spindle-shaped crystal hanging from her chest.

The crystal is beautiful.

It is crystal clear and has a moist texture.

Under the sunlight, one can see a still silver, gold, and cyan halo, with a faint, translucent jade-like circular compass emerging from the center of the halo.

It does indeed look very similar to the legendary Orchid Dream Crystal.

"Miss Ruan, where did you get this pendant? May I take a look at it?"

Xuan Li instinctively protected it, saying, "This is a talisman my brother gave me; I must never leave it!"

Wen Qifeng didn't ask for much. "It is said that the Youlan Dream Crystal, as a sacred object of the Beiyou Ni Clan, can open the legendary Beiyou Sacred Tower, which has been lost for thousands of years. The Beiyou Ancient Demon, which has been suppressed for thousands of years, will reappear in the world, causing great suffering to all living beings."

Qinghe couldn't help but ask, "Dean, since you know this, why did you...?"

Wen Qifeng interrupted him, "However, the Youlan Dream Crystal fell into the Forbidden Spirit Abyss a thousand years ago along with the corpse of the High Priest of the Beiyou Ni Clan."

"You mean, this woman jumped into the Forbidden Spirit Abyss, which has no exit and is tens of thousands of meters high, and brought out the Orchid Dream Crystal?"

The man fell silent.

The Forbidden Spirit Abyss, as its name suggests, is a place where spiritual energy is forbidden.

In the Forbidden Spirit Abyss, no spiritual power, formations, or talismans can be used; if you fall in, you can only wait to die.

“Your Highness, I know that Siwan’s matter is very important to you, but neither of them are from the Beiyou Ni Clan.”

The Beiyouni Clan is seen by the world as utterly wicked. A thousand years ago, they even colluded with the Demon Clan, and their betrayal nearly led to the annihilation of humanity.

Their reputations cannot be ruined by these two young people.

"Then why does she know about the Netherworld? And why is she so clear about what happened back then?"

Qinghe coldly questioned him.

Wen Qifeng looked at Xuan Li.

Xuan Li: "I've said it so many times, it's all just stories! What can I do if you don't believe me? You only listen to what you want to hear, what use is it to you what others say?"

Will he listen?

Xuan Li spread his hands, looking annoyed.

Storybook?

Wen Qifeng pondered for a moment, "What kind of storybook is it?"

Xuan Li glanced at him, then turned and walked straight into the house, with Feng Siyue following behind.

The woman walked into the house, still echoing Feng Siyue's complaints, "What kind of person is this? So strange!"

Xuan Li found the book that recorded the story of Drunken Dream Butterfly, but was stopped by Feng Siyue as he was leaving. "Wait."

The former asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Feng Siyue took the book, found those pages, and pulled them back by touching the edge with her right hand.

She tore out the dozen or so pages that recorded the story of "Drunken Dream of Butterflies" one by one, saying, "Just take one with you when you go out."

Xuan Li didn't ask why, "Okay."

Outside the door, Feng Siyue threw the dozen or so pages out of the formation, which Wen Qifeng caught with one hand.

Feng Siyue: "I've already given you the story content. As for where this script came from, we bought it from a small stall a long time ago, but we don't remember where we bought it."

"You have been given everything you wanted to know. Please leave now!"

At this point, Qingqing stood up, stared at them, and flapped her wings, giving them a warning look.

The silent gust of wind caused their clothes to flutter wildly, inexplicably inspiring a sense of unease.

Li Shuolong didn't know what else to say.

Wen Qifeng's presence here today clearly indicates his intention to protect these two individuals.

With the academy competition approaching, His Highness is still studying at Qingli Academy...

Thinking of this, Old Li could only suppress his own plans for the time being and respectfully bowed to Wen Qifeng, saying, "Old Wen, please have a chat."

Wen Qifeng nodded. "Let's go."

Qinghe and Nan Xiaoyi exchanged a glance and then left.

After everyone had left, Xuan Li asked abruptly, "Why did he help us?"

"do not know."

Feng Siyue looked at Xuan Li, "But why did they say that the gemstone you're wearing is some kind of Orchid Dream Crystal?"

Xuan Li lowered her head and touched the gemstone hanging on her chest. "I don't know, so it's inexplicable."

Feng Siyue asked again, "But it's been so long, why haven't I seen you wearing any other gemstones? You've always worn this one?"

The gemstone looks quite nice.

"This looks great!"

"Besides, I don't want to wear anything else."

"why?"

Xuan Li looked confused. "I don't know. I don't think I've ever thought about changing."

She lowered her head, gazing at the purple gemstone, slightly lost in thought.

I have a feeling that the halo inside should be able to rotate.

Xuan Li paused, somewhat bewildered as to where she had come up with such an absurd idea. She asked, "Why did you tear those pages out just now? Wouldn't it have been better to just give them to him directly?"
