Chapter 937: Principal’s Office
Hei Yu of the Evernight Manor and Shi Chuan of the Evergreen Gardens didn’t expect to learn that their Mistress to also have connections with the Black Cloud Academy or the fact that the Moon Goddess doesn’t go to work on weekends. Actually they were only worried as the news of what happened yesterday terrified them the most. Hearing that your own master being surrounded by enemies without you by her side to support him was not a good feeling. Yesterday, when they heard that the Pill Tower was being surrounded by enemies, the people of the Evernight Manor and the Evergreen Manor, all wanted to go and support them. However, when they tried to leave that day they were stopped by the nature around their territory,
The Moon Goddess upon activating the Bloodline of the Ancient High Elf had commanded nature in the whole Inner Haven to prevent the Evernight manor and Evergreen Garden from getting involved. After all, with Shen Jueyang by her side, it’s already overpowering to have him alone and there is no need to spread the fact that the Evernight Manor and the Evergreen Garden were also hers. So she had commanded them to standby yesterday. As expected, with the Immortal Sun Emperor getting involved himself, what happened next is nothing special. All enemies except for one were all killed and the issue was over.
So as soon as the new morning arrived, Hei Yu of the Evernight Manor and Shi Chuan of the Evergreen Hanging Garden, arrived at the Pill Tower to check on their Mistress. Who would have thought that the Mistress doesn’t go to work at weekends and would not be at the Pill Tower. But what they didn’t expect is for the Goddess of the Moon to head to the Black Cloud Academy.
"The Princess went to the Black Cloud Academy?" Elf Lord Shi Chuan said.
Hei Yu, the Assassin King asked, "Does the Mistress have a connection to that Fallen Academy?"
"I was also surprised. The Black Cloud Academy, despite having the backing of the Ancient Moon Clan, had fallen out of favor after the former Principal Wu Yao had gotten sick. It was said that his illness is strange. Not even most doctors in the Inner Haven can cure him and even an especially invited healer from the Core Heaven cannot find what was wrong with him," said Grand Elder Li Houye.
Grand Elder Su Kan scratched his head and said, "Why does the Black Cloud Academy have something to do with the Ancient Moon Clan?"
"I heard the rumors saying that the disciple of the former emperor was someone from the Ancient Yue Clan and that’s why the Moon Clan supports them. However, after the former principal had fallen he had asked the Moon Royal Family descendant to no longer support the academy. He didn’t want his relationship with his disciple to be exploited by the greedy people within the academy." Pill Tower Master Han Siyu said. "However, the Everlasting Moon Clan didn’t want the former principal to completely suffer and kept supporting his faction with bare minimum and protection of the Wu Clan and his faction. This support would only disappear once the former principal dies."
He added, "Moreover, the Moon Clan demands that the former principal can only die naturally. If they learned that it was caused by someone’s schemes, the whole Black Cloud Academy and anyone involved would be the enemy of the Ancient Moon Clan. It was only because of this declaration that the Wu Clan can keep the Principal position."
"Our Divine Doctress... She is surnamed Yue. Don’t tell me she is the disciple of that former principal? But that former principal is like us only in the God King realm. Her Majesty is most likely in the Emperor realm at least," said Grand Elder Su Kan.
Hei Yu snapped his finger and a person appeared like a black mist behind him.
"I want all the information about the former principal, Wu Yao and everything that had happened before he had gotten sick."
"Yes, Manor Lord!"
The man instantly disappeared after getting his mission. In just half an hour, all information on Wu Yao was placed before the people in the office and that there is quite a lot. All five men in the office started reading the background and information on the man named Wu Yao. Then found some relevant information that the rumors didn’t share before.
The Elf Lord, Shi Chuan said, "If the Princess and Wu Yao had met before it might be because of this place. The Ancient Ruins."
"But didn’t this thing disappear a few years ago? It was said that someone who had breakthroughs to something beyond the Emperor realm had destroyed this dimensional ruin," said Grand Elder Su Kan.
The Assassin King, Hei Yu pointed at something. The list of participants who had entered the Ancient Ruins at that time. Though the list might be incomplete, at least the important people who were seen inside the ruins are listed.
"See this list of participants. There are too many who went inside that are surnamed Yue. This is the Moon Clan’s surname. This name... Yue Xuexia. Isn’t this our Mistress’s name?" Hei Yu said.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu said, "Wu Yao’s name is also here. So they’ve met in the Ancient Ruins and for some reason become master and disciple? But the Divine Doctress is too powerful, why would she accept someone who is only in the God King realm as her master?"
"What if at that time she is still not at the Emperor Realm? Then she was protected by Wu Yao and she decided to accept him as her master as a gesture of gratitude and thanks? With how our Divine Doctress repay gratitude a hundred times the original, it is not an impossible thing to do," Grand Elder Li Houye gives his own speculation. A possibility of what happened among all kinds of possibilities.
Grand Elder Su Kan said, "Then does that mean that the Mistress had gone to the Black Cloud Academy to treat her master?"
"This is not impossible," said the Elf Lord Shi Chuan.
While they were having a conversation another man in black appeared behind Hei Yu and passed a late report about the subject they were talking about. He was serious at first and then finally smiled in the end.
Hei Yu smirks, "If it’s true then it’s no wonder that the Second Master of the Wu Clan had started the cleaning of the academy. Today, he gathered his people to forcibly remove the Supreme Elder and the Vice Principal’s factions."
"I don’t think he can do it alone. His faction is only enough to guard against them but not defeat them," Grand Elder Li.Houye said with a frown.
The smirk on the assassin king’s face widened and felt even eviler. Then they heard Hei Yu says,
"What if we add one more person?"
"Who? One person cannot defeat a larger faction," said Grand Elder Su Kan.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu answers, "Is it Lord Shen?"
"Yes. Lord Shen decided to act as their backer. Quite amazing right?" Hei Yu said.
Shi Chuan commented, "Do they plan to remove the Black Cloud Academy on the map?"
"Should we go and watch?" Grand Elder Su Kan asked.
The five men looked at one another. However, in the end only Hei Yu and Grand Elder Su Kan went. The other three choose not to go. Elf Lord Shi Chuan decided to return to his garden while Han Siyu and Li Houye decided to practice alchemy trying all the Pill Recipes on their level. Pill Refining makes the best training for those who want to improve their skill on alchemy.

Back to the Black Cloud Academy...
The Second Master of the Wu Clan, Wu Zhou, had issued a cancellation for today’s classes and a direct vacation for at least three days. This announcement was effective immediately. Both the students and teachers were dumbfounded by the announcement and since it was announced the students who aren’t disciples yet had decided to take their leave and go hoon that afternoon. Though they didn’t know why the Academy had issued such an announcement, the fact that it cannot be taken back is a fact.
Waiting at the principal’s office were Wu Zhou and Shen Jueyang who chose to have some coffee on the free table at the side. He sat at the place which is the most hidden within the room even if guests arrived and as expected, the guests Principal Wu Zhou expected to come had truly arrived. They are the Vice Principal and the Supreme Elder from the Wu Clan.
BANG!
This is the sound of the door being opened with so much force it hit the walls and two enraged men entered the room. The one leading is a middle aged man seemingly a few years older than Wu Zhou who looks to be in his late twenties. Behind him is an elder wearing elegance and gentlemanly look as a mask while the depths of his eyes were full of hidden murderous intent and disdain.
The first one to enter was the vice principal while the second one is the supreme elder from the Wu Clan who had betrayed the clan for the power within the Black Cloud Academy.
"Wu Zhou, do you know what you have done!?" Shouted the vice-principal as he slammed his hand on Wu Zhou’s table in anger.
