Yuan Chunhua spent the next 20 minutes or so explaining the situation about the Guilong Forest to Lin Jinyun.
"Master, even now I cannot connect with the other instructors. I'm afraid they have all met their end." Yuan Chunhua pulled out the talisman and handed it over to Lin Jinyun.
The talisman was blinking, but there was no sound emitting from it, indicating that it was not connected to anyone's talisman.
Meanwhile, Lin Jinyun held a bitter smile as he glanced at the talisman.
"Our academy has truly lost big this time," he said in sadness.
And he continued, "Even though I had expected some of them to die, I had never expected it would be a total annihilation. Those clans are definitely going to complain and demand an explanation now."
BAM!
"Master, now is not the time to sulk around. We must inform the Emperor and conduct a thorough investigation." Yuan Chunhua urged.
They were losing valuable time with each passing minute, and she wasn't going to allow the killer to go scot-free.
"Calm down, Xiao Chunhua. I was just giving my prayer for a moment, but that doesn't mean I'm going to idle around," Lin Jinyun said.
He then pulled out a few documents and smiled at her.
"The killing methods are very similar to the murder cases that the Northern Continent is currently experiencing." Lin Jinyun said, noting the similarities of the victim's deaths and Yuan Chunhua's descriptions.
Yuan Chunhua was dumbfounded as she quickly grabbed the documents and scanned through them.
Soon, she realized all the victims that the Northern Continent had investigated were filled in a bloody mess and gory scene.
"Who would have the audacity to commit all these murders under the eyes of his majesty?" She muttered.
Sometime later, Lin Jinyun retrieved a golden medal token, shaped in a rectangular form. Engraved on the medal was the word, Tong.
"His majesty has been alerted by the matter already and has entrusted us to help the imperial soldiers with the investigation. Given the fact that the killer most likely has a high cultivation base, his majesty has specifically requested for our help." Lin Jinyun said.
He then stood up and handed the golden medal token to Yuan Chunhua.
"Instructor Yuan Chunhua, as of this moment, you now have the authorization to seize and search whatever clan you want for your investigation."
Yuan Chunhua was dazed as she never expected such a heavy-duty role would be placed upon her.
She was originally coming here to inform her master about the incident in the Guilong Forest.
Yet, she somehow managed to be roped into something more mysterious and was even given the authority to arrest whoever she wants.
"M-Master, don't you think this is a little excessive?" She asked stutteringly.
Sure, she might have been authorized to arrest anyone who wanted to resist, but what about the consequences afterward?
How many people would she have to offend to complete the investigation?
This isn't some glorious mission, but one that is filled with danger and tedious work.
Meanwhile, Lin Jinyun quickly pretended to cough and proceeded to walk out.
"I'm feeling a bit weary lately, so I'll leave the rest for you to handle, Xiao Chunhua." Lin Jinyun said.
Before Yuan Chunhua could intercept him, Lin Jinyun had already used his martial technique.
Lin Jinyun waved his palm and created a wind pressure that shrouded him.
And with the wind obstructing Yuan Chunhua's vision, she could only squint her eyes and used her hand to cover her eyes. By the time she had regained her vision, Lin Jinyun had long disappeared from the academy.
THUMP!
Yuan Chunhua stomped the ground angrily with her feet when she was scammed by Lin Jinyun.
"This damn master of mine, he actually gave me such a hot potato to deal with." She cursed aloud.
Her outburst had caused the other instructors to glance at her nervously.
"What are you staring at?" Yuan Chunhua instantly glared at the other instructors when she noticed their presence.
"N-Nothing, Instructor Yuan Chunhua."
"Indeed, the weather is very pretty today."
"It's so pretty that we got a lot of stuff to do. Farewell, Instructor Yuan Chunhua."
All the instructors quickly came up with some random nonsense and excuses as they dismissed themselves.
For someone of their caliber who is clever and wise, they would never dare to idle around when a woman is enraged.
Thus, it didn't even take a minute before the hallway was completely empty. Not even a speck of dust could be seen except for a certain person.
That person was none other than Jiang Ming, who had his legs crossed and sitting comfortably in a chair.
'Hmm, what should I eat for tonight?' Jiang Ming thought. Instead of mulling over the mysteries, he was more focused on what kind of delicacies he should taste.
One should enjoy life after completing tedious work.
While Jiang Ming was getting distracted in his own world, Yuan Chunhua suddenly flashed a wicked grin once her eyes landed on him.
'Hehe, what a lucky day…' She thought.
She lifted her sleeves and slowly walked toward him with a gentle smile.
"Jiang Ming, I have something important for you to do~," She said in the sweetest tone ever.
It was so sweet that Jiang Ming almost got goosebumps in his arms the moment he heard that tone.
"What the heck?" Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow as he turned around and searched for the source.
When he realized it was Yuan Chunhua who was talking to him, Jiang Ming was even more dumbfounded.
'What kind of evil scheme is she cooking up now?' He narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
A clunking sound could be heard from the high heels that Yuan Chunhua was wearing as she continued walking, and Jiang Ming felt like he had dug a hole for himself.
"No wonder why I heard so many rumbling footsteps before. It was because those instructors had long dipped the area." Jiang Ming twitched his mouth in disbelief.
