Ye Qing Luo nodded her head in agreement, "That's true too, if Elder Yun Xiang wanted to kill me, he'd do it personally."

Yun Xiang's face turned darker, but this time round, he learnt to be smarter as he stopped rebuking her.

Ye Qing Luo then shifted his sight onto the Director as she frowned, "The academy is full of students, so even if they aren't happy with me, they wouldn't take such a huge risk to hire killers to try and assassinate me?"

Pausing, Ye Qing Luo pursed her lips, and questioned herself with uncertainty, "Could it be because I was punished earlier in the afternoon to go to the Library Pavilion's second storey....."

Director's brows lifted without batting an eyelid, as he shot his glance towards Elder Yun Xiang.

His eyes flashed a sliver of invisible murderous intent.

Ye Qing Luo pretended not to notice it as she mumbled to herself, "Isn't it just clearing up his medicinal herbs by accident, and intruding his pill refining room, is there any need to kill me....."

Medicinal herbs? Pill refining room?

Director seemed to have caught the crux, "What do you mean?"

Ye Qing Luo's face was a vegetable green colour, "I've never been to the second storey of the library pavilion before, so god 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 eagle eyed wrist grasped onto Ye Qing Luo's neck.

Ye Qing Luo met the Director's eyes, "I just helped him to clean up the medicinal herbs on his table and not knowing what I stepped on, I fell into an exclusive place where he refined pills, and was caught red handed by him."

Director squinted his eyes, as though he was judging her words.

"That is the academy's number one Elder ranked Alchemist's pill refining room, his name is Ghost Doctor." Director's hand was placed on the table once again.

Although his age seemed rather old, but that pair of hands under those sleeves, didn't seem rough at all.

An index finger was slightly crooked as it knocked gently against the table, forming an unprecedented suppression.

That knocking sound seemed to be demanding one's life.

Ye Qing Luo was enlightened, "Elder ranked Alchemist! No wonder his temper is so weird, and even shut me and his cauldron together, forcing me to memorise some medicinal pill books."

Director's rapping abruptly stopped, "You were shut in the pill refining room by the Ghost Doctor?"

The second storey of the pill refining room, was specially built by him to make the Ghost Doctor stay, and he knew about the secret room which was used to refine pills.

If Ye Qing Luo had indeed be shut in that secret room...

Ye Qing Luo nodded, "He kept me in till I finished reading those medicinal pill books, and even asked me to report to the pill refining room tomorrow."

Half-baked truth, lured one's trust even more.

From Bei Ming Lu Lu's words, Ye Qing Luo knew the status of Ghost Doctor in the academy.

He really was similar to Gui You, being revered by every single member in the academy.

She first pretended not to know anything, saying that she had been shut in the secret room from the start, and that meant that it wasn't possible for her to have eavesdropped on the conversation which the Director and Guardian, thereby erasing his suspicions from her.

But then casting this point, Ghost Doctor had indeed wanted to take her in as his disciple.

Furthermore, mentioning the Ghost Doctor, Director would also take Gui You into consideration.

Gui You had, because of her, took up teaching the devil class, so Director should have a deep impression about her.

Even if Director was one who would rather kill wrongly, then to let one person off.

Under the double hint of the secret room and Ghost Doctor, he would temporarily let her off.

"Oh?" Director's brows raised slightly as he gave a smile, "Ghost Doctor have always had a nasty temper, and all those students who sought education from him had all been chased out of the pill refining room. Student Ye had actually caught Ghost Doctor's eye."

"I almost died under his claw!" Ye Qing Luo rolled her eyes, with a face of disbelief, "I think the killer today, must be sent by him!"
