Mu Chen’s tone, his demeanor.

"Master Mu, you’re so easy to misunderstand. I can just stay put in my little cabin."

Xin Lin calmly freed herself from Mu Chen’s hand.

Mu Chen looked at Xin Lin, persistent.

"What evidence do you have to prove you were in the cabin?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I don’t have evidence, so why don’t you have the thousand students from Qingtian Academy prove they were in their cabins?"

Xin Lin rolled her eyes and started tidying up the medicinal herbs.

Mu Chen was at a loss for words.

"Xin Lin, I’m helping you. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you."

Mu Chen whispered.

"The incident at Gu Feng Academy, did you do it? You’re already being watched. You’d better be honest; what’s your relationship with the Corpse King? There’s still time to confess. After tomorrow, it will be too late."

Who is Long Qingxuan? He is not Long Qingchen; you can’t easily send him off.

Especially since he has the Taichang Holy Institute behind him.

The Taichang Holy Institute is like the Mount Taishan Beidou of the Eastern Continent; when they stomp their foot, all the academies on the Eastern Continent tremble three times.

"Master Mu, I admit, the incident at Gu Feng Academy..."

Xin Lin sighed.

Mu Chen’s eyes brightened.

"The people from Gu Feng Academy and Flying Scorpion Women’s College broke into the School Clinic, and I let the Honey Bee Monster sting them, but it was only because they attacked my dad first. What I did was self-defense; it’s not too much, is it? As for what you’re talking about, wet or dry, I don’t understand."

Xin Lin spread her hands.

"What a mess. I’m talking about those people at Gu Feng Academy, who got their Essence Souls sucked out."

Mu Chen stared at Xin Lin.

Xin Lin looked bewildered.

Her big eyes fluttered innocently, really not like she was lying.

"You really don’t know?"

Mu Chen asked suspiciously.

He leaned closer to Xin Lin and sniffed.

As soon as he got close, he felt a tightness around his neck. Chu Beiqing, with a stern face, dragged Mu Chen outside.

"Don’t... bully... my darling..."

"Hey, hey, silly, let’s talk things out. Why resort to this? Xin Lin, you should manage your dad."

Mu Chen couldn’t argue with a fool and shouted as he was thrown out of the School Clinic.

The clinic door slammed shut.

"Could it really have nothing to do with her? She doesn’t have any Ghost Energy."

Mu Chen stroked his chin.

"If it’s really unrelated, that’s the best. But just in case... oh well, I’ll come back to the clinic tomorrow morning. For Ziyue’s sake, I have to protect that girl this time."

Mu Chen rubbed his neck and walked away.

"Dad, please don’t treat Mu Chen like that in the future. Although he’s got a sharp tongue, he’s not bad."

Xin Lin looked at her foolish dad and tiptoed to rub his head.

Ever since detoxifying, her dad’s temper had become much fiercer, often resorting to hands when words failed.

Xin Lin thought it was the Three Corpse Poison’s residual effects in his body.

Fortunately, it happened only occasionally, so Xin Lin didn’t pay much mind.

Chu Beiqing nodded obediently.

Xin Lin sent him to the herb garden to till the soil, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness.

"Pride Corpse, what is Essence Soul?"

Judging by Mu Chen’s tone, the matter at Gu Feng Academy wasn’t resolved yet.

But Gui Hu said that the Evil Snake took action, so the supervisors and deans shouldn’t have noticed.

"It seems that Gu Feng Academy hired some help. I was careless; I acted too heavily. Little Black and the others haven’t had a good meal in a long time, so I allowed them to devour the Essence Souls of those people, similar to the brains you living people talk about."

Gui Hu said leisurely.
