Chapter 381

Ye Qing Luo nodded her head in a serious manner, "That's right, if Elder Yun Xiang wanted to kill me, he would kill me personally."

Yun Xiang's face turned even darker but this time round, he had learnt his lesson and didn't retort.

Ye Qing Luo then shifted her vision onto the Director as she frowned, "The academy is filled with students, even if they don't like me, but surely they wouldn't take such a huge risk to hire a killer to assassinate me right?"

Pausing, Ye Qing Luo pursed her lips as she asked herself uncertainly, "Could it be because I was punished to go to the library pavilion's second storey this morning ….."

Director's brows rose silently as he shot a glance towards Elder Yun Xiang.

His eyes flashed past a trace of indistinct murderous intent.

Ye Qing Luo pretended not to see it as she muttered to herself, "I just accidentally touched his medicinal herbs and barged into his pill refining room, is there a need to kill me ….."

Medicinal herbs? Pill refining room?

Director caught the crux of the matter, "What do you mean?"

Ye Qing Luo's face turned green, "I've never been to the library pavilion's second storey before, who knows that there's a strange old man's pill refining room in the library pavilion."

"You entered the pill refining room?" Director's expression congealed slightly as that pair of eagle eyes was like a wrist, tightly clutching onto Ye Qing Luo's neck.

Ye Qing Luo calmly met Director's eyes, "I was just helping him to tidy up the medicinal herbs on the table and stepped on something, so I fell into the place where he specialises in refining pills and got caught red-handed."

Director squinted his eyes, as though he was scrutinizing Ye Qing Luo's words.

"That is the academy's number one Pill Sect alchemist's pill refining room, his title is Ghost Doctor." Director's hand, once again placed on the study table.

Although he looked old, but that pair of hands under his sleeves, didn't look rough at all.

His index finger was slightly bent as he lightly knocked on the table, forming an unprecedented sense of oppression.

The pounding sounds were like the sounds of someone demanding their lives.

Ye Qing Luo was suddenly enlightened, "Pill Sect alchemist! No wonder his temper is so weird, even locking me and the medicinal cauldron together, making me memorize some medicinal pill books. "

Director's knocking sound suddenly stopped, "You've been locked in the pill refining secret room by Ghost Doctor?"

The medicine refining room on the second floor was specially built by him to keep the Ghost Doctor here. He also knew about the secret room used to refine medicine.

If Ye Qing Luo was locked in that secret room …..

Ye Qing Luo nodded, "He kept me locked up until I finished reciting the medicinal pill books before he let me out, and even asked me to report to the pill refining room tomorrow."

Half-truths and half-lies were more trustworthy.

From Beiming Lu Lu, Ye Qing Luo found out about Ghost Doctor's status in the academy.

He should be similar to Gui You, a highly respected member of the Academy.

First, she pretended not to know anything and said that she had been locked in the secret room. This meant that she could not have eavesdropped on the conversation between the Principal and the Protector, thus dispelling the Principal's suspicion of her.

Then, he revealed that the Ghost Doctor had thoughts of taking her in as his disciple.

Moreover, when mentioning the Ghost Doctor, the Director would also consider Gui You.

Because of her, Old Man Gui You did not hesitate to teach in the devil class. She must have left a deep impression on the headmaster.

Even if the Dean was someone who would rather kill wrongly than let a single person go.

Under the double hints of the secret room and the Ghost Doctor, he would temporarily spare her life.

"Oh?" The Headmaster raised his brows, revealing a trace of a smile, "The Ghost Doctor has always had a bad temper. All the students who came to study were chased out of the medicine refining room by him. To think that Student Ye would actually catch the eye of the Ghost Doctor."
