Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 509

"You all don't need to be that sad or worried about me. On the contrary, you should hope that I will go quickly to Central Continent, arrive safely there, and successfully evolve into a Spirit Beast, so you three would have solid backing in the future." Instructor Mei Lan tried to cheer them up.

The mood of Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao did not change at all, and they still fell silent while staring at Instructor Mei Lan in sorrow.

The classroom atmosphere seems to become gloomy and depressing.

Even Instructor Mei Lan did not know what to say anymore to cheer her three students' gloomy mood.

Tang Li Xue did not like the current gloomy situation, so she quickly changed the topic of their conversation and asked: "Oh, right... Instructor Lan, did you manage to get the information about who hired the previous assassins to kill me?"

But Instructor Mei Lan's expression became much more solemn instead.

Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao, then said to them, "You two can go back home first. I still have something to discuss with Little Xue."

Instructor Mei Lan waved her hand signaling Tang Li Xue to follow her before she left the classroom and headed back to her residence near the Education Department Building.

Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao felt doubtful at Instructor Mei Lan's sudden serious expression. However, they still obediently said goodbye to Tang Li Xue and went back to Residential Building first.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue followed Instructor Mei Lan closely from behind after she bid farewell to Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao.

Yaya still sat quietly on the top of Tang Li Xue's head since the class started until now.

After they arrived at Instructor Mei Lan's residence, Instructor Mei Lan let Tang Li Xue and Yaya in and served each of them a cup of tea.

Tang Li Xue could not hold herself and asked impatiently again: "Instructor Lan, did you already know who hired those assassins to kill me? Is it someone powerful that I cannot touch yet?"

Instructor Mei Lan leisurely sat on the opposite seat of Tang Li Xue, and she slowly took a sip of her tea.

Then Instructor Mei Lan stared at Tang Li Xue and replied: "No... The hirer is certainly a powerful person, and it might even be someone you know very well."

Instructor Mei Lan took out several sheets of paper from her space pouch and gave them to Tang Li Xue to read.

Tang Li Xue took those several sheets of paper in bewilderment and read the content written on them.

"This is the contract copy between Assassin Tower and the hirer. As you can see from the contract, the hirer is actually someone from Immortal Sword Sect." Instructor Mei Lan explained clearer to Tang Li Xue.

"Based on the abundant bounty reward of cultivation resources, high-rank martial art manuals, and high-rank cultivation technique, the one behind it should be someone who holds very high authority in Immortal Sword Sect, it might even have a much higher position than any ordinary elders." Instructor Mei Lan gave Tang Li Xue another obvious clue.

Tang Li Xue's expression turned pale in an instant and shouted reflexively in disbelief: "Impossible~!!! There is no way he would..."

"Why is it impossible? Little Xue, I never forbid you to have any relationship with humans, but you should NEVER lose your logical thinking and only just rely on your heart." Instructor Mei Lan frowned in irritation and quickly interrupted Tang Li Xue's words.

Instructor Mei Lan softened her tone and gave Tang Li Xue some suggestions again: "Little Xue, I know that you become quite close to that Elder Yang from Immortal Sword Sect in Tang Feng City before, but humans are despicable and scheming creatures. You should not trust them so easily!"

"But Elder Yang should have not wanted to kill you suddenly without a good reason. Can you recall or think of any good reasons why he suddenly wants to kill you now?" Instructor Mei Lan began to interrogate Tang Li Xue carefully.

Tang Li Xue's mind was in a great mess.

The feeling of anger, sadness, disappointment, shock, and disbelief was mixed into one in her heart.

After hesitating for a while, Tang Li Xue started to talk again to Instructor Mei Lan: "Actually, he... already knew that I am not a human but a fox in human form. He tore off my hood and veil before and saw my fox ears and tail."

Instructor Mei Lan frowned deeply as she felt that this reason was not strong enough to hire those professional assassins from Assassin Tower to hunt Tang Li Xue.

"Anything else?" Instructor Mei Lan asked again with a suspicious tone.

"Then he also told me about..." Tang Li Xue almost blurted out Elder Yang's secret about his true identity and purpose to join Immortal Sword Sect, but the scene before she parted with Elder Yang at Tang Feng City flashed in her mind.

....

"All right. First, are you my Xiao Bai or not?"

"I... don't know..."

"I know it! You must be my Xiao Bai!"

"Why are you telling me this secret?" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy with a tone filled with suspicion.

Elder Yang replied with a comforting tone: "As I said before, it is to make you feel more secure because I do not want you to worry all the time about me disclosing your secret. At least it will make you feel safer right now after I told you about my secret, right?"

Then Elder Yang kissed Tang Li Xue's forehead gently before she disappear from Tang Feng City.

"Xiao Bai... I am looking forward to our next meeting. I hope we can spend more time together in our next meeting." Elder Yang's gentle but lonely voice drifted away with his carriage.

.....

Tang Li Xue might be simpleminded, softhearted, and naive, but she was also the most talented student Instructor Mei Lan ever had. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}
