At this moment, Ye Chen’s phone rang in his pocket. He glanced at it and realized that the caller was Xiang Chengdong.
He must have gotten off the plane.
“Mr. Ye, I’ve already arrived at the hotel,” Xiang Chengdong said when the call went through.
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed and he replied, “Come to Capital City University to meet me.”
“Alright.”
Xiang Chengdong did not dare to say no.
The call ended immediately.
After that, Ye Chen did not hesitate, and rushed straight toward the remaining two formation cores. No matter what, this formation had to be destroyed.
More explosions rang out.
Five minutes later, the expressions of the elders in the stone room in the Ghost Prison had turned ugly, as the formation had been completely destroyed.
Their entire year of hard work had gone up in smoke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe goateed old man also said in a whispered voice, “My lords, something has happened to Sun Zhen. There is only one person left outside now.”
The other elders looked at each other and saw anger in each other’s eyes.
Who was it that dared to kill someone from the Ghost Prison? Who was the one who had destroyed the formation?
One of the elders stood up and said, “The formation has been destroyed, so I recommend that we seal Ghost Prison for a year! Otherwise, it will be extremely dangerous for us to open the prison according to schedule, and we might even suffer unexpected losses.”
“I don’t agree,” another elder quickly retorted, “Ghost Prison has to be opened in a few days. A few important prisoners are in extremely dangerous conditions. If no one from the Medicine Alliance comes in, they will definitely die!”
“Hmph! Are the lives of those people more important than the safety of the Ghost Prison? Whoever the culprit was definitely knows about the prison. If he enters and causes chaos, can you bear the price?”
The initial elder’s voice was extremely cold. He did not like being challenged.
At this moment, another elder said, “Stop arguing. Ghost Prison will definitely open. If those people die in prison, those forces and sects in Huaxia will definitely go crazy, and we’ll end up with far more trouble. What we need to deal with now is the person who destroyed the formation!”
“Although we can’t leave the prison, we can still use others to kill him. Once he’s dead, there won’t be any issues opening the prison.”
Everyone nodded.
Seeing that his proposal was approved, this elder continued, “The one remaining outside is the second elder’s daughter. We are all aware of her strength, so it should be easy for her to deal with the culprit so long as she can find him. Furthermore, she’s skilled with seals as well.”
“There are a few martial arts families in the capital that still owe us favors. If we call those favors in, we should be able to get rid of the culprit in three days.” “Alright, then let’s do this!”
At this moment, an agreement was reached between the elders.
After Ye Chen destroyed the formation, he headed to the teacher’s apartment that Dragon Soul had arranged for him. As for what had happened in the university today, it was likely that the city’s authorities and Dragon Soul would suppress the news, so he did not have to worry about it.
He looked at the room number on the key, and then stepped inside the elevator. However, before the door closed, a pair of slender hands reached in from outside to keep the doors from closing.
Then, a woman. She briefly glanced at Ye Chen and smiled. Then, she dragged a huge box in.
The woman was tall and had shoulder-length hair. She was dressed simply, but that did not affect her beauty. Given the fact that she was in this elevator, it was likely that she was a teacher here.
Because the box was very heavy, the woman had to bend down as she tried to drag the box into the elevator with all of her might.
Ye Chen decided not to stand by and watch.
“Let me do it.””
The woman was surprised, and her face flushed slightly.
“Alright.”
The woman’s voice was very soft, and almost melodic.
Then, Ye Chen reached out and grabbed the two sides of the box with both hands, easily carrying it inside the elevator.
“Thank you.”
Ye Chen simply nodded.
Then, when the woman turned to press the button for her floor, she saw the floor number Ye Chen was heading to and exclaimed in surprise, “Are you the new university professor?”
Yesterday, the teachers’ chat group had been abuzz because the principal had suddenly informed them that the university would be recruiting a very young professor who had returned from studying abroad.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the entire apartment complex, the units on Ye Chen’s floor, which was also her floor, were the best. Thus by coincidence, she had seen the principal personally supervising the cleaning of the room opposite hers yesterday. Obviously, this was to be the residence reserved for the young professor in question.
She had expected this new profession to be around 40 years old, but this fellow looked to be in his twenties, and barely that!
Was he some sort of genius?
Ye Chen glanced at the other party and frowned, but he still nodded.
After receiving Ye Chen’s confirmation, the woman became even more curious. She extended her hand and said, “My name is Wei Ying, I’m an English teacher at the university. I just joined half a year ago, and 1 live opposite you.”
Ye Chen accepted the handshake and replied, “Ye Chen.”
He did not bother with any unnecessary words. As such, the atmosphere in the elevator instantly turned awkward.
Fortunately, the elevator door soon opened and Ye Chen carried the box out with one hand.
“I’ll help you bring it in.”
Wei Ying quickly walked out of the elevator and walked toward the door on the left. Once the door was open, Ye Chen placed the box in the living room and prepared to leave.
“Professor Ye, wait a moment. Have a cup of water and rest.”
Wei Ying poured out a glass of water from the water dispenser and carefully handed it to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen did not take the glass. Instead, he stared at her. Specifically, he was staring at the necklace on her neck!
There was a dazzling seven-colored stone on the necklace, which reflected light beautifully.
Earth Soul Mystical Stone!
This was an extremely precious Earth Soul Mystical Stone from the Kunlun Mountains!
At this moment, his breathing became a little hurried.. Furthermore, he could feel the black stone in his pocket shaking, seemingly wanting to absorb the Earth Soul Mystical Stone for itself!
