199: Revenge! (Fifth update!)

At the same time, the atmosphere in the girls' dormitory was completely different from the excitement in the boys' dormitory.

"Qiqi, where are you planning to go for your mountain training?"

Li Qingyuan asked Zhang Qiqi, who was on the opposite bed, while packing her small bag.

Zhang Qiqi was sitting at her desk, her fingers rapidly sliding across her phone screen. Hearing this, her movements paused, she looked up, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"I'm not going to eliminate demons for now."

"Ah?"

Li Qingyuan stopped what she was doing, her face full of confusion.

"Why? This is our first official combat assessment, what a great opportunity."

Zhang Qiqi locked her phone screen and placed it on the desk, speaking calmly.

"The first thing I'll do after descending the mountain is seek revenge."

"Revenge?!"

Li Qingyuan's voice rose a few octaves. She walked a few steps to Zhang Qiqi's side, her eyes wide.

"Are you kidding me? You, a beautiful, kind-hearted rich girl, who would dare to provoke you? And who is worth you personally seeking revenge against?"

In Li Qingyuan's impression, Zhang Qiqi was always that gentle girl who always smiled when she spoke, completely unrelated to a word like "revenge," which was full of Killing Intent.

"There are always some people who don't know their place."

Zhang Qiqi's expression didn't change, but her words made Li Qingyuan's heart skip a beat.

"Did you forget? When I first came to the Academy, I almost died."

Li Qingyuan instantly remembered. She recalled that Dean Li Heng had only gotten involved with the Zhang family because he saved Zhang Qiqi.

"If it weren't for the Dean, I'd be a corpse by now."

Zhang Qiqi said casually.

"What?!"

Li Qingyuan still couldn't help but exclaim. She grabbed Zhang Qiqi's arm.

"I thought... I thought it was just some strange illness. Someone actually harmed you? Who is so malicious! You're so kind, you never get angry with anyone!"

"My father is the richest man of nan province."

Zhang Qiqi only said this one sentence.

Li Qingyuan fell silent instantly.

That's right, she almost forgot, her roommate was not a girl from an ordinary family.

Wealth is sometimes a shield, and sometimes, it's bait that attracts hungry wolves.

"My father had a big project in Xiang City earlier, and he had some conflict with a local strongman there, which caused a lot of unpleasantness."

Zhang Qiqi slowly began to recount.

"Later, although the authorities intervened to mediate, they shook hands and made peace on the surface, but how could someone like that truly let things go?"

"So, they targeted you?"

Li Qingyuan's fists clenched. She couldn't imagine such despicable methods.

"I went to a concert and got a signed towel. The curse was placed on that towel."

Zhang Qiqi's narration was calm, without anger or fear, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"Originally, after entering the Immortal Cultivation Academy, I didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, the world is so big, it's too difficult to find a Spell Caster hidden in the dark."

"Then why now...?"

Li Qingyuan pressed.

"My father told me something when he came to Kunlun for the ceremony."

Zhang Qiqi picked up her phone and opened a photo. It was of a middle-aged man lying in a hospital bed, his eyes vacant, drooling.

"My uncle passed through Xiang City, and after he came back, he went mad."

"He was sent to the best psychiatric hospital, all connections were used, and the best brain specialists in the world were consulted, but nothing could be found."

Li Qingyuan looked at the photo, only feeling a chill rise from the soles of her feet, directly to the top of her head.

She grew up in an ordinary family, but the competition she encountered was, at most, the open and secret struggles of young girls. She had never seen such vicious and ruthless methods.

This had completely exceeded the scope of ordinary people's understanding.

"This... is there still justice?! Is there still heavenly Dao?!"

Li Qingyuan was trembling with anger. She was someone who hated evil as much as she loved good, and at this moment, she wished she could rush to Xiang City immediately and drag out the mastermind.

"Qiqi, I'll go with you! We, from the Magic Cultivation Department, aren't afraid of these sneaky scoundrels, are we?"

She patted her chest, saying indignantly.

"No need."

Zhang Qiqi, however, shook her head, refusing her kind offer.

"Qing Yuan, this is my own business."

She looked up at Li Qingyuan. Her eyes, which usually held a smile, were now filled with a bottomless calm, a calm that made one's heart palpitate.

"Besides, I've already found him."

"Found him?"

Li Qingyuan was stunned.

Zhang Qiqi lightly tapped her finger on the phone screen, and a man's profile popped up, with a photo, address, company information, and even his schedule for the past week.

"You... how did you...?"

"Although my father is just a Mortal, the resources he has are sometimes more effective than Spells."

Zhang Qiqi turned off her phone, revealing that harmless sweet smile again.

"Don't worry, two days at most."

"Once I've dealt with this family matter, I'll immediately come to meet up with you. Then we can earn contribution points together. I don't want to fall behind in the assessment."

Li Qingyuan opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but looking at Zhang Qiqi's expression, all the words were stuck in her throat.

She suddenly felt that her roommate seemed much stronger, and... much more terrifying than she had imagined.

"Then... then you must be careful."

Li Qingyuan could only squeeze out this one sentence in the end.

"Mhm, I will."

Zhang Qiqi nodded.

Li Qingyuan looked at the sweet smile on her face, at her clear eyes, but inexplicably felt a chill down her spine.

She had a feeling that something big and extraordinary was about to happen in Xiang City.
