The awkward atmosphere in the yamen continued to spread. From Fan Qin's words, it seemed like something big was going to happen. This meant that they had to split up and go their separate ways.

"En, actually there is something that I always wanted to say, but I don't have the time to say it." Fan Qing waved his hand, signalling Xu Tianliang and the others not to speak, "I'm very sorry, but I might not be able to go to Ming Chen Academy with everyone."

Fan Qin's sudden words made Fan Mu somewhat excited. Perhaps he had long realized this point, but he still asked in confirmation, "Why? The dean's recommendation is not easy to come by. "

He also didn't want to disappoint the dean's good intentions, but the stubbornness in his heart allowed him to make a choice, "I'm not suited to become a top jade cultivator. Just like what my mother said, I want to walk the business path, I know that you guys will come and persuade me once you've heard this, but I've already decided."

Fan Qin's tone was filled with helplessness and determination. He really wanted to be with everyone and live a comfortable life, but he didn't want to go against his original wishes.

"This little brother, you actually don't need to care too much about it. Follow your heart and do the best you can. You're more important than anything, aren't you?" Susu said meaningfully, as if she was recalling her previous life.

"Sister, she's right. How could we possibly hinder your decision? Once you've made your decision, you can continue to move forward peacefully. Don't give up, huh?" Actually, I also want to say something, "Xu Tianliang patted Fan Qing's back to encourage him, then continued," Like Fan Qin, I may be leaving for a while, but I'm not going to do business, I'm going to take care of some household chores.

"Hey hey hey, this isn't right. The four of you agreed upon brothers and the Golden Knight Association. Have you all forgotten it just a few days have passed?" As the president of the Golden Knight Association, Lingyun still hoped that the two would consider it more.

Fan Mu extended his right hand and pressed Lingyun's hand down, saying earnestly, "The sea is vast, and as brothers, we should support their choice. At this time, our friendship will not be interrupted by time or space."

Fan Mu's words made sense. Lingyun thought for a moment and shook his head. "It seems like we really can't keep people. With you guys gone, the academy will be much colder."

"Hahaha ?" The people in the yashel were all amused by Lingyun's "sad" comment.

Phew, the shadow of a ghost flashed past the window, as if accompanied by some birdsong. Lingyun vigilantly stared out the window, and asked, "What's that?"

"Is there anything?" Fan Qin, who had a slightly weaker reaction, didn't notice anything unusual. A throwing knife grazed past his face and into the wooden pillar. At that moment, it was as if a god of death had brushed past his shoulder, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Just at that moment, Lingyun activated his water elemental energy and rushed out, but the black shadow had already disappeared without a trace.

"Don't chase anymore. If it's an enemy, then we'll both be in the dark. We don't know what kind of danger we'll encounter if we go deeper in. Moreover, we're not familiar with this place, and there are plenty of high level spirit beasts." Fan Mu stepped on Ling Bo, and pulled Lingyun into the forest.

"You two don't have to worry, the spirit beasts in the forest are very intelligent. Unless they are the owners or regular customers of this forest, they would be very restless," Sue explained before closing the door.

"What about us?" Fan Mu pointed to himself.

"Master didn't bring him in, little Mu Mu." Susu tilted her head and said in a cute manner.

"This Military Advisor knew that it would be like this since the beginning," Xu Tianliang faked his fan.

"Come on, if you were a advisor, we'd all be dead by now," Fan Qin said with a smirk. The previous crisis had made him very unhappy, to the point where he was only a tiny bit away from becoming a vengeful spirit.

"Great Fortune is great, haha," Xu Tianliang laughed heartily.

"You!"

"Ai, stop messing around. Look, the handle of this throwing knife is a bit strange." He carefully sized up the handle of this thirty percent knife that had a symmetrical protrusion.

Fan Mu removed the flying knife from the wooden stick and held it in his hand for a moment to examine it. However, he didn't have the slightest idea of what was happening; the protruding part seemed to be completely defenceless.

Her beautiful black hair flowed down like a waterfall, extremely gentle, and she chanted a spell in a low voice. The magic wand in the jade hairpin broke through the air, and after bestowing fire elemental energy upon the tip, it caused the energy to gather at the tip of the blade. Carefully, she engraved two large rune seals on the protruding part of the flying knife, and at the same time, she pressed down on the protrusion, and the blade's hilt was easily removed.

Other than Fan Mu and the other two who did not know what was going on, they watched the girl's every move with their eyes wide open. They did not expect her to be a talisman refiner, the most talented of the Jade Cultivators. Through the small mark, they could seal their elemental energy and use it when they needed it.

Seeing the handle being removed, Fan Qin asked curiously, "Sister, it's so amazing, how did you do it?"

Susu made a face and pointed at her head, "The girl's sixth sense."

"I don't think it's that simple. Being so proficient in controlling, he must have gone through a long period of training," said Fan Mu, deep in thought.

"Sigh, I can't hide anything from the eyes of the great detective Fan Mu. Hehe, yeah, this blade is the tool my father used to communicate with me after he left. Usually, it is my father's prediction and arrangements, so of course I know what's going on." Sue laughed, and at the same time, she pulled the magic wand back into the jade hairpin.

"What about that black shadow just now?" Ling Yun seemed to have thought of something.

"Maybe," Sue said knowingly.

As soon as they opened the letter, everyone was shocked. There were only eight words written on the big letter, "It would be better to break it to pieces, or to let a dragon roam around in the sky." Everything was a mystery hidden in these eight words.

"What do you mean?" Fan Qin asked with a slight headache, his eyes already aching from staring for too long.

"Susu, what's this?" Fan Mu looked at Susu with a puzzled expression, trying to get an answer from her, but Susu shook her head helplessly. This was the first time she had seen such a letter.

They had no other choice but to start from the poem itself, trying to find the crux of the problem.
