Chapter 419 - 421: He Finally Suspects
The Spiritual Crocodile attacking a person means it does not allow that person to enter the Calligraphy and Painting Room.
Princess Anyang turned pale upon hearing this.
"How come there was no such rule before? It's not my first time visiting the Calligraphy and Painting Room."
"This is a new rule set by the Dean. It's to ensure the Calligraphy and Painting Room is used appropriately, especially since the Competition Among Ten Countries is about to start. As one of Yuxiu Academy's most important cultivation resources, the abuse of the Calligraphy and Painting Room must be curtailed by restricting access."
Dongfang Li was sent here to guard the Calligraphy and Painting Room.
Princess Anyang was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Mo Qianqian looked anxious on the surface, but inside she was secretly delighted. If Princess Anyang couldn't enter the Calligraphy and Painting Room, her improvement in the literary exam would be limited, and Mo Qianqian could use this opportunity to surpass her.
"Those who want to enter the Calligraphy and Painting Room must line up one by one."
When Dongfang Li mentioned the new rule, the female students showed fear and didn't dare to come forward rashly.
After all, they all saw what happened to Princess Anyang. She was beaten by the Spiritual Crocodile, leaving her with a swollen nose and black eyes, even losing two front teeth.
In the end, only seven or eight female students were willing to enter the Calligraphy and Painting Room.
"Bai Ling, don't be afraid. If it dares to swipe its tail at you, I'll pull its tail off for you to use as a dog's tail."
Ouyang Chenchen said, rubbing her hands together.
She was also worried about her best friend getting hurt by the Spiritual Crocodile, her chubby, round body standing in front of Feng Bailing.
Since Princess Anyang couldn't enter, Mo Qianqian was the first to enter the Calligraphy and Painting Room. It wasn't her first time entering, so she wasn't afraid of the Spiritual Crocodile.
Mo Qianqian was an ambitious person. Since arriving at Yuxiu Academy, she had been studying hard and, being talented, had gained great benefits in the Calligraphy and Painting Room.
Mo Qianqian walked confidently toward the Spiritual Crocodile.
Sure enough, it didn't stop her, and she entered the Calligraphy and Painting Room.
The second one was Ouyang Chenchen, and the Spiritual Crocodile didn't move at all.
"Everyone, the one coming behind is my best friend, please show some respect."
Ouyang Chenchen said worriedly.
Feng Bailing walked over.
Dongfang Li watched nervously from the side, fearing the Spiritual Crocodile might attack Feng Bailing.
At that moment, from the top floor of Wangyue Pavilion, a pair of eyes was also intently following Feng Bailing.
"Why so worried? Why not go check it out?"
The Dean teased.
Speaking of which, he brewed tea for Dugu Wu.
"I came to find you."
Dugu Wu took a sip of tea.
The issue of the Competition Among Ten Countries had temporarily pulled him away from his duties at the Ministry of Revenue.
At that moment, Dugu Wu's teacup trembled.
When the Spiritual Crocodile saw Feng Bailing, its eyeballs suddenly bulged.
The previously motionless Spiritual Crocodile kneeled on all fours, lying down on the ground, its thick tail wagging like a dog's.
Spiritual Crocodile, have some self-respect, where has your dignity gone?
"My gosh!"
Ouyang Chenchen's eyes looked like they were about to fall out.
Feng Bailing was also satisfied, nodding her head.
Animals are indeed much more perceptive than humans. When Feng Bailing had just passed by the Spiritual Crocodile, she was also worried it might not approve of her, so she used a bit of a trick.
The last time she was near Dugu Wu, she absorbed quite a bit of the Emperor's aura, which was still residing in her Dantian.
She had just released a bit of the Emperor's aura, and the Spiritual Crocodile clearly sensed it, getting frightened and bowing down instantly.
Seeing Feng Bailing enter the Calligraphy and Painting Room, Dugu Wu shifted his gaze away.
"I came here today because I need your help with something. There is yang energy within Nalan Yan'er's body, how can I confirm whether that bit of yang energy belongs to me or not?"
