I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes

303 Nightmare

“You…”

In an instant, Ming Youjun’s body stiffened completely.

An indescribable chill quickly crawled up his back, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He froze on the spot.

It was that nightmare-like voice which instantly terrified him. He fell to the ground on the spot and muttered incoherently.

“S-Senior, why are you here again? I really didn’t do anything or say anything…”

As he spoke, Ming Youjun suddenly came to his senses. He looked around in shock and realized that at this moment, he had already arrived at the other end of the imperial capital. Seeing him look over, a few adults immediately protected the children beside them.

“Be good and listen to me. Let’s hide a little further away and not get too close to the lunatic!”

“Go, go, go. Hurry up and go to the academy for class. If you stay with such a person for too long, you will learn bad things. This time, if you can’t become Sir Ming Youjun’s registered disciple, I will beat you up…”

It was only at this moment that Ming Youjun noticed his current appearance.

Originally, he had a pair of exquisite mustaches. Even though he did not look oppressively noble, at the very least, people felt that he was a dignified and decent divine being.

In fact, before he went out in the past, he would usually tidy himself up meticulously and comb his beard and hair in the same style.

As the principal of one of the top academies in the imperial capital, he had always been particular about the fact that he should look like a teacher. He would also pay attention to his image when he was outside.

Where was his previous elegance at the moment?

His entire body had been drenched in sweat. After the sweat dried, his clothes clung tightly to his body, emitting an unpleasant sour smell. His exquisitely groomed beard and hair were in a mess. At first glance, it looked like a huge bird’s nest.

It would not be an exaggeration to say he looked like a crazy beggar.

It was no wonder that the passersby from earlier would drag their children away.

“That guy… didn’t follow me?”

He blinked his eyes in surprise and looked around a few times before he finally heaved a long sigh of relief. “So it was just my imagination just now…”

The reason was that the mysterious Jiang Shinian had left a deep impression on him.

To be more precise, it was an intense psychological trauma!

With a raise of his hand, that man stripped him of all his cultivation, causing him to fall from the sky and become a pitiful mortal.

Even though he was the principal of a top academy, such a shocking method had exceeded his imagination.

At this moment, Ming Youjun seemed to have turned into a frightened bird. The slightest movement could scare him out of his wits. He was afraid that “Jiang Shinian” would chase after him and take away everything he had again.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

With some unfamiliarity, he activated his magical power and tidied up his appearance. Only then did Ming Youjun regain his usual bearing. With his hands behind his back, he thought about his next countermeasures as he walked towards Ming Kong Academy.

Ming Kong Academy was one of the three great academies in the imperial capital.

Ming Youjun was the principal of Ming Kong Academy, and one of the seven experts in Lingyun Kingdom.

When Ming Youjun arrived in front of the majestic Ming Kong Academy, an ancient and calm aura surged towards him. He could vaguely hear the sound of chanting and reading. It finally made his tense nerves gradually relax.

Ming Kong Academy was his base that he had been managing for many years. Even if an expert of the same level attacked, he was confident that he could win!

“Lord principal!”

The moment he stepped into the academy, he suddenly heard a voice coming from a classroom by the side. He instinctively turned his head and his eyes widened.

In that direction, there seemed to be a shadow standing there. Sunlight shone from behind, making it impossible to see the other party’s true appearance.

However, that voice continued to ring out like a vengeful spirit, causing Ming Youjun to instantly have countless goosebumps. His scalp kept tingling on the spot.

That nightmare-like voice entered his ears just like that.

“You, you, you, you—”

Without a second thought, Lord Ming You let out a miserable howl and forcibly resisted the urge to turn around and run. He forced a smile and said, “Senior, when did you come to Ming Kong Academy…”

“Lord principal, lord principal? Lord principal, what’s wrong?”

It was as if only a breath of time had passed, but also as if 10,000 years had passed.

Only then did Ming Youjun realize in horror that the mysterious shadow in the classroom had arrived beside him.

It was a young and beautiful female cultivator. If he remembered correctly, she should be a teacher in Ming Kong Academy.

Seeing that he did not respond and was just standing there in a daze, the woman rubbed her hands uneasily and called out to him again in a low voice, “Lord principal, are you listening?”

“Ah, I was distracted just now.”

Quietly using his magical power to evaporate his cold sweat, Ming Youjun feigned calmness and replied, “Why are you looking for me?”

At the same time, he sighed in his heart. He was indeed frightened by that Jiang Shinian. If it was in the past, would he behave like this?

Fortunately, there was something wrong with that guy’s condition.

Currently, it seemed that he could not leave the valley. Otherwise, he would have already followed closely behind.

“I have to report this matter to my master. Although it has nothing to do with that grand tomb, Jiang Shinian is still a variable that can’t be underestimated.”

In the blink of an eye, Ming Youjun had a plan in mind. “Also, I might need to leave the academy for a period of time. My state of mind is not right. I have to get rid of it as soon as possible.”

He had already realized that there was something wrong with him.

Hearing Ming Youjun’s answer, the woman nodded and was not concerned about this matter.

From her point of view, since the lord principal was distracted, he was probably thinking about something more important.

“It’s like this…”

Seeing the lord principal heave a sigh of relief, the woman said with a smile, “Lord principal, does my voice sound like someone…”

Ming Youjun’s hair stood on end.

...

After a short period of silence, his chest heaved violently, as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. The dignified principal could no longer hold back his fear and let out a shrill cry on the spot.

“Y-y-y-you, don’t come over…”

Whoosh—

Under the female cultivator’s dumbfounded gaze, Ming Youjun began to cry uncontrollably. He wailed and screamed loudly. Then, like a meteorite, he tore through the sky and flew up, leaving behind dust and dirt.

“Do… do I look that scary?”

She could not help but touch her cheek.
