Chapter 2680: Mutually Injured
It would be disastrous if everyone in the academy and perhaps even the capital went on a rampage, so Zu An took out his Violet-Gold Alms and lightly knocked on the bowl. A calming reverberation echoed through the academy, calming the fervent minds of the crowd.
The crowd widened their eyes in astonishment. They were all thinking, What got over me? I wanted to charge over as if I had lost my mind. No wonder she’s known as a demoness. Just looking at her made me lose control of myself.
The older students silently circulated their ki to calm themselves while instructing their juniors to close their eyes and not look anymore.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. The Violet-Gold Alms protected one’s soul from beguilement and damage. Yun Jianyue’s desire energy likely fell under the field of beguilement.
It was fortunate Yun Jianyue hadn't actively channeled that power, and the desire energy was divided across many individuals over a huge area, so its effect on each individual was limited. Thanks to that, the Violet-Gold Alms easily shook them out of their daze. Otherwise, they would have been in trouble.
Yun Jianyue was startled by the chaos, but she proceeded to laugh coyly afterward. That seduced quite a few people in the crowd yet again, so Zu An had to raise the frequency of his knocking on the Violet-Gold Alms to dispel the effects.
Qiu Honglei was perplexed. While master is skilled in the art of seduction, she doesn’t like to resort to that, which is why she usually puts on a fierce appearance. Yet she's now embracing the character of a temptress. Is it because Ah Zu opened her horizons, or is it the influence of the Deity of Desires?
Yan Xuehen frowned too. “Demoness, you have changed.”
“Aren’t you the same too? Your sword isn’t as emotionless as before. Did you recently meet someone you fancy?” Yun Jianyue chuckled coyly.
The spectators didn’t think much of it; they thought this was just a way for the demoness to shake Fairy Yan’s mind.
