Chapter 74 Ancient Building

  Two days later, Tang Yan returned to Giant Elephant City after completing his six-month training.

  "Du Yang, are you going to Drunken Town tonight? Last time you didn't dare to go up, today you have to be brave once! Don't worry, I'll still pay the bill, and find a tender young girl for you!" Standing under the magnificent city wall, Tang Yan spread his arms wide, took a deep breath, and a wave of prosperity and excitement hit him in the face. One word: awesome!

  Du Yang rolled his eyes: "Hey, hey, you can't be so shameless as a person! What's the matter with you? At that time, I was serving as your bodyguard! Otherwise, I would have gone up long ago!"

  Irene was indignant: "You two little rascals, must you discuss this topic in front of us?"

  "Huh? Sour taste? Elinda sister, are you jealous? I knew it, you have feelings for me! Alright, since my good sister is unhappy now, tonight I'll just stay at home quietly... waiting for you!"

  "..." Elinda ignored him directly, carrying the Frost Sword towards Giant Elephant City.

  "Sister? Sister! Don't be angry, men are empty-headed and will go out to fool around if there's no one at home. Who would go out if someone is at home?"

  "Who is your sister!"

  "Could it be... calling me little sister? Hehe, I have no objections."

  "Get away from me."

  "Hey, we're about to part ways soon, why don't we find a place to spend some intimate time together?"

  “……”

  Looking at the cheerful and shameless back view in front of him, Du Yang was speechless. He gave a thumbs up to the lively black girl behind him and walked towards the city gate. It had been half a year since they parted ways, and he still had some nostalgia for his past life.

  Just... as he walked, Du Yang had a strange feeling, as if there were a pair of eyes watching him in secret, but looking at the passing travelers and then at the military officers at the city gate, he didn't find anything unusual.

  "Off you go, little black girl." Du Yang didn't bother anymore and lazily patted his pockets as he walked into the city gate.

  …………

  "Princess, Tang Yan has entered the city. He's only with Du Yang and Ai Lin Da, the Wang Fu guard squad is in position, ready to strike at any moment!"

  "Don't rush, let him go home, I want to kill Tang Yan in front of the Tang family!"

  "I understand!"

  "Remember, Tang Yan can't die easily, I want him to suffer!"

  "Miss County, would you like to go and take a look?"

  "Of course!"

  …………………………

  "Master, Tang Yan has entered the city and is being closely monitored."

  "Has the Ling Wang Fu taken action?"

  "Not yet, it seems we have to wait until he arrives at the Tang's residence before making a move."

  "Hmm, this county lord is quite ruthless. Let's go take a look. We'll bring the young masters and misses along too. Such a good show isn't something you can see anytime."

  "Uh...the young master and miss...they're all gone..."

  ……………………………

  "Yan'er has entered the city, and the Ling Wang Fu has been quiet, it seems they want to make a move in front of us." Tang Jun arrived at the secret room of the Tang Fu, and respectfully bowed to Tang Yan.

  Tang Yanshan's face was expressionless: "Is Ailinda still there?"

  "He just parted with Second Master, probably returned to the college, otherwise... we send someone to intercept?"

  "The Ling Wang Fu should be prepared, we shouldn't act rashly and meddle in their affairs, lest they catch us off guard."

  "I just found out that Chang Tian Zhu and others are all outside being active."

  "Don't mind them, they don't dare to do anything, just want to see if my attitude is firm. As long as we don't make a move, they won't dare to act rashly, with me here, the Ling Wang Fu won't dare to be too extreme!"

  "Are we really going to give up on Second Young Master? Isn't it a bit unfair to him?" Tang Jun found it strange, having accompanied his adoptive father for so many years, he understood his temperament the most. Although he was eccentric, he was extremely protective of his loved ones, and especially doted on Tang Yan. How could he give up so easily? And still allow the Ling Wang Fu to take action in front of the family?

  Tang Yan said calmly: "I can be unfair to one person, but I cannot be unfair to an entire family."

  ………………………

  Erlinda entered the city and soon parted ways with Tang Yan, returning directly to the academy. Along the way, she silently considered how to explain herself to the principal, as it had already been seven or eight months since she left the academy, and as a mentor, she had been away for too long; without a proper and reasonable reason, she might be expelled from the academy.

  But I believe that the strength of a third-class martial artist should be enough to get some face for the college, and at this level, even if you go to a large family, you will receive courtesy, and Giant Elephant College is no exception.

  "Aylinda mentor, you're back. The vice president has been waiting for a long time." Aylinda rushed to the entrance of the college when mentors Rachel and Liu Weihua were already waiting here.

  "Deputy Director? Did he arrange for you to wait for me here?" Erlinda was surprised, she had never been treated like this before, and actually arranged for Rachel and Liu Weihua, the two instructors, to come and receive her. Was it an interrogation?

  Rachel smiled and said: "We don't know what it is either, we'll find out when it's over."

  Eirinda didn't think much of it and followed the two into the academy, where students constantly greeted them along the way. Upon seeing Eirinda, many students became extremely excited.

  Elynda's time as a mentor was not long, but her stunning looks, calm demeanor, and responsible attitude towards students made her well-known to most students, with many secretly admiring her. Recently, rumors spread that Elynda had been monopolized by the young master Tang Yan and would never return to Giant Elephant Academy again, causing many senior students to be heartbroken, with some even calling out for "Protecting the Goddess".

  It's been half a year since they last saw Irina come back, how could they not be excited? They almost ran to spread the news!

  Rachel and Liu Weihua walked ahead with expressionless faces, unmoved by the enthusiasm of the academy, and didn't even speak to Elynda. Their strengths were respectively third-tier and second-tier martial arts, one specializing in flying knife techniques and the other exceling at water and earth magic, both extremely powerful and holding high positions in the academy as young instructors. They had always harbored affection for Elynda, sometimes openly or secretly taking the initiative to woo her. Every time they saw her, they would show unusual courtesy, but today seemed somewhat abnormal.

  Alynda vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, she didn't like being surrounded by men, but Rachel and Liu Weihua's behavior seemed a bit off, however, she just found it strange and didn't pay much attention to it.

  All along the way, Rachel and Liu Weihua took Elin to walk deep into the academy, circling many circles, until they came to a ancient building in the deepest part of the academy.

  The ancient building stands in the depths of a quiet and dense forest, no more than 60 meters high, with a base diameter of up to 20 meters, its shape is very unique, from afar it looks like an ancient pagoda, but without corners, without carvings, smooth and shiny, more like a chimney, there are only a few windows.

  The whole body is reddish-brown in color, due to its age, the color is dull and has a gloomy feeling.

  This is a forbidden place in the college, said to be the quiet place of the elders, and also the storage place for some heavenly treasures. Only those who have obtained the position of elder in the college are qualified to approach. All other idle people are not allowed to approach.

  "Is the vice president here?" Eriinda stood in front of the old building, which she had previously gazed at from afar and felt was mysterious, but now, upon closer inspection, gave her a clear sense of coolness.

  "Go ahead, don't keep the deputy director waiting." The two of them gestured with their hands.

  "Is there anyone else?"

  "There should be, we're not clear, just following orders."

  Ailinda looked around the dimly quiet forest again, feeling a bit uneasy, but still followed the two into the dark and lightless ancient hall.

  Ah!!!

  Just as I stepped into the ancient building, the door behind me suddenly closed, and the crisp sound echoed in this simple and old great hall for a long time.

  Ailin's heart skipped a beat and she immediately stopped.

  "What's wrong, Instructor Ailinda?" Rachel's tone was extremely cold, and Liu Weihua's face also looked somewhat abnormal.

  "This doesn't seem to be a regular training place." Eriol surveyed the ancient great hall, which was empty and hollow, with six steep staircases extending upwards in sequence. There were many beast carvings at the corners of the walls, and beyond the chaotic stairs, there was a dark area in front that was somewhat eerie.

  The prolonged massacre in the mystical forest gave her an extremely strong premonition of a dangerous environment.

  "No need to ask more, the vice president is waiting downstairs."

  "Down there?"

  "That's right, it's below."

  "Why did you come here? I want to know what it's all about."

  "We're really sorry, we don't know."

  "Is that... a dungeon?!" Elinda was about to step forward, but suddenly remembered something. A long time ago, when she was still an ordinary student, someone had mentioned that the ancient tower was the most mysterious place in the academy, and inside, not only were there treasures, but it was also possible that some special individuals were being held captive.

  It's more like a prison there!

  "Eilinda mentor, you're overthinking." Rachel quietly gave Liu Weihua a signal with her eyes, and the two of them subtly moved closer to Eilinda.

  Ailinda's face changed again and again, and she suddenly turned around and rushed towards the gate.

  "Ai Lin Da instructor, where are you going!" Rachel and Liu Wei Hua's eyes suddenly turned cold as they rushed up at the same time.

  "Open!!" Eriinda took a stride, and a fierce ice crystal wave enveloped her body, roaring and rolling, transforming into a dense storm that heavily slammed into the tightly closed door.

  The entire ancient building shook violently, a large amount of debris fell down densely, the thick iron door was blown away with a loud bang in this fierce explosion, destroying more than ten ancient trees, and deeply inserting into the short mountain over 100 meters away.
