When they arrived at the Phoenix Guide Pavilion, Qin Xianyun realized that the place that made Teng Qing so mysterious was just this small pavilion. There was a stone tablet erected beside the pavilion. The front of the tablet was carved with the words " Phoenix Guide Pavilion " in large cursive characters. It was delicate and meaningful, yet elegant and indifferent. One look and one could tell that it was the work of a famous master. On the back of the tablet was a large area of small regular script, clearly explaining the origin of Phoenix Guide Pavilion.

This Phoenix Guide Pavilion had a history of several hundred years. It was built by a famous scholar who lived in seclusion nearby during the Qing Dynasty. It was said that this person's flute skills were superb. Once, when he played the flute in the pavilion, it caused the phoenix to dance in the blue sky and hundreds of birds to sing together. Therefore, some people called this pavilion the Phoenix Attracting Pavilion. However, whether this was true or not, future generations did not know.

Phoenix Guide Pavilion had collapsed a few times, and the current building was rebuilt decades ago. It was built into two floors according to the original design. There were no unnecessary decorations in the building, only a few benches placed beside the railings for people to rest. There were many towering trees beside the building, and the eaves and corners of the house were hidden in the lush leaves. It was indeed quiet and quiet, with a unique flavor.

However, what surprised Qin Xianyun was that there were two female dormitories on both sides of Phoenix Guide Restaurant.

The Phoenix Guide Pavilion was now empty and deserted. There were only a few pairs of young men and women snuggling on the stone bench under the forest outside the building. Teng Qing brought Qin Xianyun up to the second floor. After they sat down on a long bench, they took a few deep breaths and said with a smile,"This is the place I come to the most in the past month. How is it? The environment is not bad, right?”

Qin Xianyun also sat down beside him and said,""The environment is indeed not bad, but I still don't understand what's so special about this building. It looks no different from an ordinary attic.”

"There's no difference on the surface, but to me, the difference is huge."”Then, he pulled Qin Xianyun to the other side and pointed at the female dormitory on the left mysteriously. He asked in a low voice,""Did you see that?"

Qin Xianyun followed his finger and saw a small gap in the dense pile of leaves, and the gap was facing the balcony of a female dormitory. The Phoenix Guide Pavilion was not too far away from the girls 'dormitory, so they could see the balcony very clearly. However, there was nothing surprising there. Qin Xianyun looked at Teng Qing in confusion.

"It's only 10:07 now. You'll know everything in three minutes." Teng Qing looked at his watch.”

Qin Xianyun smiled and shook her head a few times. Then, she sat down on the long bench. However, Teng Qing's eyes were fixed on the small hole without blinking.

Three minutes later, Teng Qing suddenly waved at Qin Xianyun and shouted excitedly,"It's out! It came out! Come and take a look! Come and take a look!"

Qin Xianyun stood up and took a closer look, but she almost burst out laughing. She had thought that the thing that Teng Qing cared so much about would be something new and interesting, but it turned out to be a girl!

However, that girl was indeed pretty. She wasn't dressed gorgeously like most city girls, deliberately pursuing novelty. She was wearing an ordinary school uniform with two braids on her head. She looked unusually fresh and natural, honest and simple, but her face was very cold, as if there was no smile. Her two faint eyebrows made her expression even colder.

While Qin Xianyun was watching, the girl had already leaned against the railing of the balcony, quietly looking at the distant sky.

"You come here often just to see this girl?”Qin Xianyun took a few glances and sat down again.

Teng Qing took a few more glances before reluctantly pulling her eyes away from the small hole. She sighed contentedly and said,"Yeah! Her name is Bu Feiyan, and she is the only student from the countryside in our class.”

"Is she a classmate of ours? Why haven't I seen it before?" Qin Xianyun asked in surprise.

"She doesn't like to be ostentatious, and her seat is at the very back of our classroom, so although she's pretty, not many people pay attention to her. Even I only noticed her on the second day of class."”

Qin Xianyun recalled that when she entered the classroom, she only had a rough glance. At that time, she saw that other than him, there was only one girl in the class who was wearing the school uniform. However, that girl never seemed to raise her head, and Qin Xianyun had never seen her true face. Now that she thought about it, that girl might be the Bu Feiyan that Teng Qing mentioned!

"Teng Qing, you often come here to see her. Don't tell me you've fallen in love with her?"”

Hearing Qin Xian Yun's words, Teng Qing's expression became somewhat bashful. But suddenly, he smiled bitterly and said dejectedly,"Sigh! What's the use of me liking her? She has to like me! With my looks, how could others take a fancy to me? However, as long as I can look at her here for a while every day, I'll be satisfied.”

Qin Xianyun sighed and encouraged,""Actually, if you really like her, you should express your feelings to her as soon as possible. If you keep it in your heart, there will never be an ending. If you were bold enough to go and try, it wouldn't matter even if she rejected you. Otherwise, if she was pursued by other boys, it would be too late for you to regret!”Qin Xianyun was consoling Teng Qing, but she was also feeling dejected in her heart. Her first love was given to a girl who had sent her to prison, but that girl had disappeared without a trace now. She didn't even have a target to question. If she really couldn't reunite with her, could time really ease the knot in her heart?

"Sigh, I still know my limits. Don't ask for a snub! But I'm not worried that she'll fall in love with other boys. In the past month, there had been many boys who wanted to get close to her, but they had only spoken a few words before they were pushed back by her cold words!”Teng Qing laughed bitterly a few times, then unexpectedly became somewhat happy.

Qin Xianyun forced Xue Yanqing's shadow out of her mind and said with a smile,""Although you say that, if you really like her, you have to take the initiative sometimes. Unrequited love doesn't feel good.”

"Forget it, let's not talk about these troublesome matters. It's better to let nature take its course when it comes to matters of the heart." It's getting late. I think we should go to other places in the school quickly.”

Qin Xianyun knew that it was useless no matter how others tried to persuade him, so he nodded and walked downstairs with Teng Qing. However, when he reached the stairs, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Qin Xianyun was shocked and quickly turned around to see Bu Feiyan's eyes moving away from the small hole in the leaves.

What a sharp gaze!

Qin Xian Yun exclaimed in admiration. He knew that the person who had stared at his back must be Bu Fei Yan. He didn't expect her to be a martial artist! The moment Qin Xianyun turned around, she felt two flashes of light in Bu Feiyan's eyes. From this, she judged that Bu Feiyan had not only practiced martial arts, but also practiced true qi. An ordinary martial artist, no matter how powerful his martial arts were, would never be able to control his gaze perfectly and freely if he had not practiced true qi.

According to this speculation, Bu Feiyan must have already noticed Teng Qing peeping at her every day. It was just that she didn't say it out loud.

Qin Xianyun caught up with Teng Qing, who was still at a loss, but she didn't voice out her guess…

***

At 11:50 pm, Qin Xianyun walked around the school and finally got a general understanding of the whole school.

With Teng Qing leading the way this time, it really saved a lot of time. After this short period of contact, the relationship between the two of them had become much more intimate, and their conversation was also much more casual than before.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the two of them turned to the cafeteria. When he reached the entrance of the canteen, it was already overcrowded. After squeezing for nearly five minutes, the two of them finally sat at a table in the corner of the cafeteria as they wished and tasted this hard-earned lunch.

Qin Xianyun had just eaten a few mouthfuls of rice when she suddenly heard someone mention Qiu Zhengren's name from the noise in the air. She couldn't help but turn around and quickly realized that the voice came from two boys who were a few feet away from her. Qin Xianyun was curious and wanted to hear what they thought about this matter. She gathered her Genuine Qi and listened carefully. Although the cafeteria was noisy, he still heard the voice clearly.

"It's said that Qiu Zhengren, the director of the Transportation Bureau, was killed in Fire-Dragon Temple this morning.”

"What? Really? Who did you hear that from?"

"Of course it's true! I have a friend who is a reporter for the 'Chrysanthemum Evening Post.' He was the one who went to interview them and wrote a report. It will definitely be published in the 'Chrysanthemum Evening Post' today.”

"Hasn't Bureau Chief Qiu always been a good official? Moreover, he had never offended anyone. Why would anyone want to kill him?”

"Who knows? This time, not only was Bureau Chief Qiu killed, but two of the monks from the Fire Dragon Temple were also killed.”

"Three lives! The murderer is too cruel!"

"You call this cruel? Last year, eight people died in the northern suburbs of Kikukyo City.”

"It can't be, right? We haven't even heard of such a big case. How come you know about it?”

"This is also what my friend who works in the newspaper said. Because too many people had been killed, Chief Kikurikage was afraid that it would cause panic and affect her political achievements, so she did not let it be published in the newspaper. Moreover, the news was also blocked. Of course, no one knew. It was said that the case had not been found out who did it.”

……

At this point, the two of them started to talk about other topics. Hearing this, Qin Xianyun could only smile bitterly. He didn't expect that the Qiu Zhengren he killed would be a person who was said to be a good official, while he was given the notoriety of being cruel. Did no one really find out about his misdeeds? However, Qin Xianyun didn't care about their words. There were some things that one only needed to be clear of. There was no need to worry about other people's opinions.

Ten minutes later, the cafeteria suddenly became even more crowded because everyone had finished school. As there were more people, there were more topics to talk about. However, what everyone talked about the most was the two strange things that happened in school today. One of them was an ethereal figure that had suddenly appeared, while the other was an ethereal song that had suddenly appeared.

Qin Xianyun's singing contained his own ethereal true qi, so his voice could not only penetrate far away, but also had an erratic nature, making it impossible for people outside to tell where it came from. However, even though Qin Xianyun's voice was ethereal, as long as he asked around, he would definitely be able to find out who the singer was. However, as for the illusory figure that suddenly appeared in the school, as long as Qin Xianyun didn't say it, perhaps no one would know that the person who created the illusion was him. Moreover, even if he said it himself, it was estimated that no one would believe it even if they didn't repeat it eleven times. Because in their knowledge, that speed was almost impossible for humans to achieve. Teng Qing also heard everyone's discussion. After listening, he kept winking at Qin Xianyun with a smile.

Qin Xianyun didn't say anything. She just put down the empty lunchbox in her hand with a smile, called Teng Qing, and walked out of the canteen together.

As soon as they walked out of the door, Teng Qing couldn't help but laugh and say,"I didn't expect you to become a big celebrity as soon as you entered the school. Now that everyone is giving you the title of Masked King, Mo Ningfeng must be so angry that his face has turned green! "Hahahaha…" Mo Ningfeng was not only arrogant in school, but he also looked down on everyone. Now that Teng Qing thought of Mo Ningfeng's deflated appearance, she actually laughed happily.

However, after laughing a few times, Teng Qing's expression suddenly became serious. He said a little nervously,"Xianyun, I think you have to be more careful in the future. Mo Ningfeng would probably report this to his father when he got back. His father is Mo Yanyue, the chairman of the most powerful company in Juying City, the Yanyue Technology Group. He has a large group of bodyguards under him. If he finds out that his son suffered a loss in school, he will definitely send people to find trouble with you!”At this point, Teng Qing started to worry. If Mo Yanyue really sent a few bodyguards to find Qin Xianyun, then he would be in danger.

"Don't worry, even if he really dares to find trouble with me, I'll have a way to protect myself." Qin Xianyun smiled.”

Hearing Zither Immortal Yun's confident words, Teng Qing was still a little worried and said,"For safety reasons, you should appear in crowded places in the future. This way, even if they want to attack, they will have some scruples.”

Qin Xianyun was very grateful for his sincerity and didn't want to waste his good intentions. She could only promise that she wouldn't stay in places with few people for too long.

***

The afternoon class was taught by an old professor. The two classes should have ended at 4:30, but when the old professor found out that a new student had joined the class, he lectured on Wang Guowei's " Three Realms of Life " for nearly an hour before the class ended. This caused the students in the class to complain endlessly, but the old professor was willing to endure it. If he did not express what was in his heart, he would not let the class end.

At half past five, the old professor announced that class was dismissed. Almost all the students swarmed out of the classroom. In less than a minute, Qin Xianyun was the only one left in the classroom besides the old professor. Even Teng Qing had rushed out at some point.

The old professor seemed to be deliberately waiting for Qin Xianyun to go out with him. He stood at the door of the classroom and looked at Qin Xianyun kindly.

Qin Xianyun had no choice but to walk over with a smile on her face. Sure enough, the old professor saw Qin Xianyun walking towards him and slowly walked out of the classroom.

When Qin Xian Yun was about to leave the classroom, she glanced at Bu Fei Yan from the corner of her eyes and found that she was still lying on the desk. She didn't know if she was sleeping or thinking about something. Bu Fei Yan seemed to have noticed Qin Xian Yun paying attention to her, and she gradually raised her head.

At this moment, the old professor outside the door saw him standing by the door and suddenly called his name.

After Qin Xianyun responded, she didn't pay attention to Bu Feiyan anymore and quickly walked to the old professor's side.

Apparently, the old professor had also heard about Mu Shizhu's evaluation of Qin Xianyun from Xu Xiulin and the others, so while praising Qin Xianyun's outstanding talent, he also told Qin Xianyun a lot of things about how to conduct himself. Finally, he said goodbye to him after encouraging him for a while.

Qin Xianyun looked at his slightly staggering back and felt a myriad of emotions. Nowadays, most professors, especially university teachers, disappeared after their classes. They didn't care about their students 'studies and moral character. There were almost no teachers who cared about and taught their students like this old professor.

***

Qin Xianyun left the school gate. This time, he walked home. It was past six o'clock when he slowly walked over to Ruyi Road. At this time, he saw a newspaper stand with the " Chrysanthemum Shadow Evening News ". Thinking of the discussion between the two students in the canteen, he bought a newspaper.

Qin Xianyun couldn't help but laugh when she saw the report about Qiu Zhengren's murder. However, she felt a little bitter after laughing.

It turned out that the report had dug up all the information about Jingming and the other monks who had been in the underworld before they became monks. It attributed the murder of Jingming and Jingkong to the gang's revenge, while Qiu Zhengren's death was an accident caused by the anger of Jingming and the other monks 'enemies. Besides, the report didn't mention anything about the fact that Fire-Dragon Temple was a brothel. Neither did it investigate why Qiu Zhengren stayed overnight in Fire-Dragon Temple, nor did it explain clearly whether or not the case should be investigated further. It only quoted the words of Chen Zhengwu, the chief of Kikyuying City, saying that the relevant departments should be ordered to eliminate the gangs hidden in the dark in Kikyuying City so as to provide a normal, stable and safe living and working environment for the citizens of the city!

It seemed like they didn't want to investigate this matter anymore. Killing Qiu Zhengren didn't help much, but it helped him to improve his good reputation! Qin Xianyun sighed. Just as she was about to stuff the " Chrysanthemum Shadow Evening Post " into the trash can, her hand suddenly stopped…
