Chapter 412: Imminent Battle (1)

"S-Senior Yun Sheng!" called the girl who was protected by the blue shield, blushing. Yun Sheng nodded. He looked at the two students who had stopped fighting, and then walked down.

After Yun Sheng left, people whispered in the level-4 area. "Is he Yun Sheng, the champion of the individual ranking contest?"

"He's indeed extraordinary. He just came down from higher floors. How strong is he right now?"

"He's also the leader of the Constellation Society! He's so handsome!"

All the girls looked at Yun Sheng's back in admiration, and the guys stared at him with envy and slight jealousy. They wanted to become as strong as him!

Yun Sheng walked out of the Trial Tower. The teacher who was outside of the Trial Tower saw him and greeted him. Yun Sheng greeted him back, and walked out in a hurry. His dear sister had told him that she was back. He didn't know where she was, but he unconsciously believed that she had returned to the Masang School of Magic, maybe because of the link between the two siblings.

Yun Sheng walked to a corner. He was about to take out the Sound Transmission Jade, when he heard a familiar voice. "Brother."

Yun Sheng shivered, and immediately looked back, only to see nobody. "Feng? Is that you?"

Yun Feng had been hiding not far away. She waved her hand, revealing herself next to Yun Sheng. After three years, she was already a lot more mature. Yun Sheng held Yun Feng, who had worried him for a long time, in his arms.

"Brother..." In Yun Sheng's warm arms, Yun Feng felt that her brother's heart was racing. She put on a sweet smile. That was family! He must've been concerned for her for a long time...

"It's great to have you back!" Yun Sheng hugged Yun Feng for a moment, and then sized her up. He didn't let go of her until he confirmed that she was safe and sound.

"Brother, you must be well aware of the Yun family's situation. The Karan Royal Family must be doing something. It's time we leave this place," said Yun Feng solemnly.

Yun Sheng frowned. "The Karan Royal Family didn't do anything in the past three years, probably because of you. They had to confirm if you were truly gone. Lately, father told me that the Karan Royal Family was making preparations. It seems that they're done waiting."

"That's great. It's a great opportunity for the Yun family to break free from this filthy empire!" Yun Feng's eyes glittered. Passion arose in her heart. She was determined to break free from the Karan Royal Family and the Karan Empire!

"Feng, the Karan Royal Family will definitely find an excuse before attacking the Yun family. It's truly ironic how the Yun family will be repaid for such a long time of loyalty," said Yun Sheng with self-mockery. To deal with the Yun family, the Karan Royal Family would surely accuse it of disloyalty, or their actions wouldn't be justified.

Yun Feng sneered. "The Karan Royal Family's good life is coming to an end."

Yun Sheng glanced at Yun Feng and didn't say anything else. His sister was much less bonded with the Karan Royal Family than he and their father were. It wasn't hard to predict what Yun Feng would do. Yun Sheng heaved a sigh. "What about Xiaojin? Should we take her away with us?"

Yun Feng thought for a moment. "Of course. Xiaojin is my family. We should certainly take her away!"

Yun Sheng put on a smile. "Very well. When are we going to leave? Right now?"

"The faster, the better! Father should be safe under the Yun Army's protection. They can resist any top assassins that may come. We should go back and reunite with him."

Yun Sheng nodded and stared at the campus in front of him. He had to leave this place. Would he ever be able to visit this place again after breaking away from the Karan Empire? Yun Feng looked around at the campus too, and smiled at her brother. "Brother, take Xiaojin to the back mountain. There's something else I need to do. We'll meet there."

Yun Sheng nodded, and reached out to Mu Xiaojin with the Sound Transmission Jade. Yun Feng, on the other hand, hid herself and left for the office building. There was another person she needed to thank: Mr. Ted.

Ted had been quite depressed in the past three years due to Yun Feng's disappearance. She had a special position in Ted's heart, because he was the one who discovered the young genius the earliest. He had been delighted to watch her grow rapidly. While Yun Feng was gone, Ted always believed that she was alive, and had been waiting for her to return.

Ted opened his mouth when he detected a powerful aura. The lingering aura suggested that an expert had broken into this place! Ted looked around nervously, and didn't see anyone. All of a sudden, he noticed a bag on his desk. There was also a note underneath the bag.

Ted frowned, and picked up the note. He found the handwriting on the note quite familiar! It took him a long time before he finally recognized the name on the note!

Mr. Ted, thank you for looking after me and my brother over the years. This is the least I can do in return. You must be aware of the Yun family's situation. My brother and I don't want the Masang School of Magic to get involved. We've already left. Please forgive us for our spontaneous decision. I'll always be a proud student of the Masang School of Magic.

Ted's hand that was holding the note shivered. He opened the bag, only to see a lot of high-level ores in it! Ted's eyes widened. Then, he laughed in a low voice, with his eyes wet. "You are truly a self-willed girl, and a fast runner. You should've met me before you left..."

Yun Sheng took Mu Xiaojin to the back mountain. Mu Xiaojin was excited to know that Yun Feng had returned safely. Then, Yun Sheng informed her of the emergency. Mu Xiaojin immediately held back her tears of joy and excitement, and went to the back mountain quickly along with Yun Sheng.
