Chapter 507: Chapter 507 - How Sad

Sheng Yang nodded and left with the key to dormitory 601.

There was a distance between the first building of the female dormitory and the classroom dormitory. When Yu Huang headed to the dormitory, she noticed that the office on the top floor of the administrative building was still lit.

Yu Huang stared at the lamp and stopped in her tracks.

It was already so late. Why was the dean still awake?

Yu Huang walked to the administrative building and took the elevator to the top floor.

The top floor was very quiet. The green corridor lights illuminated the corridor in a gloomy manner. Yu Huang arrived at the door of the dean’s office. After hesitating for a moment, she still knocked on the door. “Grand Mentor, aren’t you resting yet?”

“Yu Huang, come in quickly.”

Yu Huang pushed open the double doors and saw the dean sitting behind his desk while staring blankly at a soul lamp.

Yu Huang walked towards the desk in small steps. She stood in front of the table with her arms crossed and frowned as she looked at the soul lamp. In the glass lamp, there was a gray lamp wick hidden. The lamp wick looked like it had been extinguished, but there was a hint of scarlet on the top of the lamp wick.

From the looks of it, the owner of this soul lamp was on the verge of death and could die at any time.

Yu Huang asked, “Grand Mentor, whose soul lamp is this?”

“Anna’s.”

......

Yu Huang was slightly stunned when she heard this.

“Anna’s?”

Yu Huang immediately uncrossed her arms.

She bent down and supported herself on the desk. She lowered her head and approached the soul lamp. She saw that there was indeed a scarlet fire on the wick. She was so excited that her voice was trembling. “Anna is still alive!” The soul lamp had not been completely extinguished, which meant that Anna was not really dead.

However, the soul lamp was about to go out, which meant that Anna was in danger.

When the old dean heard Yu Huang’s words, his old eyes moved.

The old dean rubbed his eyes and sighed. “I knew there was still a flame on the wick. I was afraid that I was mistaken and kept staring at it. Ah Huang, you saw it too. This soul lamp is indeed not completely extinguished, right?”

“Yes!” Yu Huang said excitedly, “As long as the wick hasn’t been completely extinguished, Anna is still alive! However, Anna’s current situation is not optimistic.”

“That’s right.”

He had thought that Anna was dead and was heartbroken.

Tonight, he returned to his desk and opened the cabinet. He saw that Anna’s soul lamp was still inside. Seeing that he missed her, the dean took out the soul lamp and wiped it. As he wiped, he realized that the wick in the soul lamp seemed to still have a spark.

As long as the soul lamp was still lit, it meant that the owner of the lamp was not completely dead.

The dean was worried that he had seen wrongly, so he kept staring at the lamp and sizing it up.

When he heard Yu Huang say that there was still a spark on the wick, the old dean heaved a sigh of relief.

This was really a twist of fate.

The old dean had always been an optimistic person. He said, “As long as Anna is still breathing, she can still create endless possibilities. Although Anna is unlucky, she has always been able to turn misfortune into fortune. This time, she will definitely be safe.”

Yu Huang nodded vigorously. “Definitely!”

Thinking of something, Yu Huang continued, “That Pixiu Demon said that Anna and the Icy Night T-Rex fell into the abyss rift. He also said that the abyss rift was a place where one could never return from. If one fell in, they would die. However, Anna is still alive, which means that there are also variables in the spatial rift. Grand Mentor, should we go to the rift to look for her?!”

The dean had the same thought as Yu Huang.

“I agree with you.” The dean stood up. He said, “I’m going to the primitive forest. I’ll be back later.” With that, the dean wanted to leave.

Yu Huang thought of something and hurriedly grabbed the dean’s sleeve. “Grand Mentor, there’s no hurry.”

“What’s wrong?” The old dean wanted to save his little disciple. He did not want to stay any longer.

Yu Huang said, “The abyss rift is a place that even super demon beasts don’t dare to set foot in. It must be very dangerous inside. Even if you go, I’m afraid you won’t gain anything. Grand Mentor, why don’t you go see the Grand State Master and ask him about the origin of this abyss rift?”

“Grand State Master?” The old dean asked in confusion, “The Grand State Master knows this?”

“Anna once told me that when she was surrounded by Xuanyuan Shen and the others, the Grand State Master flew out of the abyss rift. In other words, the Grand State Master has been to the abyss rift. Grand Mentor, go find the Grand State Master. You might find something.”

Di Ruofeng pondered for a moment and finally listened to Yu Huang’s suggestion. “Alright, I’ll go see the Grand State Master.”

After the Grand State Master’s Divination Tower had fallen, it was being rebuilt.

Since the Grand State Master had no place to stay, Lin Jiansheng invited the Grand State Master to stay in his manor. His manor was terrifyingly big, and it would be more lively with more people.

The Grand State Master was not familiar with Lin Jiansheng, but with Yu Huang’s relationship, the two of them were on good terms now. Furthermore, Lin Jiansheng had become a Purifying Spirit God and was qualified to be friends with the Grand State Master. There was no harm in the two of them interacting more.

Hence, the Grand State Master moved to Lin Jiansheng’s residence.

After Kong Qing left, Lin Jiansheng’s manor was left unattended. Weeds filled the courtyard, making it look abandoned and desolate. In the dark night, only two rooms in the ancient manor were lit. This made the manor look like a scene from a horror movie.

Lin Jiansheng and the Grand State Master had long sensed Di Ruofeng’s aura. Therefore, when Di Ruofeng approached the manor, the protective shield that Lin Jiansheng had set up outside the manor did not attack him.

“It’s already late. Dean Di, why are you here to see me?” The Grand State Master stood by the bed with a cup of tea in his hand and looked at the uninvited Di Ruofeng.

Di Ruofeng raised his head and stared at the person standing by the window.

Under the bright moonlight, the Grand State Master was wearing a navy shirt. His blue eyes seemed cold and distant when he looked at people, but they were also charming and mesmerizing.

Di Ruofeng could not help but think of Zhong Qingling.

The story of the love-hate relationship between Zhong Qingling and the Grand State Master had many versions that spread throughout the cultivation world.

The old dean had naturally heard of it.

Staring at the Grand State Master, who was as handsome as an immortal under the moonlight, Di Ruofeng immediately felt that Zhong Qingling’s death was not unjust.

It was worth it to bang a handsome man like the Grand State Master before she died!
