On the way back to the dormitory after class, Yuchi Chi happily held Pei Qingyu's arm with a sweet look on his face.
Pei Qingyu thought she had thought it through and was willing to return to being best friends, so she didn't care too much.
Returning to the dormitory, Pei Qingyu said to Pei Xuan, "Master, I want to go to the Wanmu Mountains."
Wanmu Mountains, that's where Pei Qingye died.
Pei Xuan understood: "You want..."
Pei Qingyu nodded: "I want to retrieve my brother's body and put an end to this."
She took Pei Xuan's arm and shook it gently, then asked softly, "Is it okay?"
This was the first time in Bing Meiren's life that she acted like a spoiled child. Pei Xuan smiled and agreed: "Okay, we'll go together then."
After Pei Qingye's accidental death, both the Imperial College and the Pei family sent out search teams, but neither of them found his body.
Pei Qingyu did not hold much hope for this, he was just making his last effort.
Little did they know that Pei Xuan had the system's know-it-all function, and it was easy for him to find the location of Pei Qingye's body.
"Thank you, Master." Pei Qingyu stood on tiptoe and gave him a sweet kiss.
The Imperial College was in a semi-closed state during the school term, with two days off every ten days, which was called "ten-day break".
Two days was too short, so Pei Qingyu decided to ask for leave directly from his grade tutor.
Watching Pei Qingyu typing on her phone, Pei Xuan suddenly remembered something and added, "Let's take Chai Rongxu, Yu Zhichu, and Xiaochi along."
I just received these three delicious little sex slaves, so of course I have to keep them with me and enjoy them at any time.
Pei Qingyu naturally understood Pei Xuan's intention. She secretly complained that Pei Xuan was so lustful and shameless, but she still obediently carried out his orders.
Students in the upper grades already had a lot of freedom, and those who requested leave were all top noble young men and young ladies like the Pei, Chai, Yu, and Yuchi families, so the grade instructor naturally approved it immediately.
Pei Xuan informed Chai Rongxu and Yu Zhichu of his going out notice, and everyone began to pack their luggage. However, half an hour later, the grade tutor sent a message asking the Pei siblings to go to the general office building immediately, as the chief academic officer wanted to see them.
The Jijiu was the highest official of the Imperial College, equivalent to the principal.
According to Pei Xuan's previous understanding, the person currently holding this position is Xiao Yuxi, the second princess of the royal Xiao family.
The Pei siblings did not dare to delay and left immediately.
The comprehensive office building was at the other end of the Imperial College, quite far away from the dormitory area, and it took about half an hour to walk there.
After taking the elevator to the top floor, the Pei siblings walked into Xiao Yuxi's office under the guidance of the assistant.
This office occupies almost a quarter of the entire top floor and is decorated very luxuriously. The carpets, furniture, and paintings on the walls all look priceless, but the most eye-catching thing is the beautiful woman in formal attire sitting behind the large desk.
Xiao Yuxi was wearing the most orthodox official uniform of the Daliang Empire, with wide robes and sleeves, a tall hat and a wide belt. She looked like a beauty in ancient costume who had walked out of an ink painting, with red lips, fair face, a small nose, a smooth forehead, and a straight and slender neck.
Pei Xuan silently admired the beauty of the Second Princess in his heart, and was a little convinced that her younger sister was at the top of the Twelve Beauties.
When the Pei siblings sat down in the chairs in front of the desk, Xiao Yuxi, with a solemn expression, slowly spoke: "I heard that you are going to the Wanmu Mountains?"
"Yes." Pei Qingyu replied, "I think... we want to go find my brother's body."
"The two previous search teams couldn't find it." Xiao Yuxi said, "What makes you think you can find it?"
"I'm his sister." Pei Qingyu bit her lip, looking a little annoyed. "I must find her."
"That sounds good, but it's actually meaningless." Xiao Yuxi shook his head. "Please provide evidence and logic to prove your conclusion."
Pei Qingyu said: "Are you not going to approve my request for leave?"
"When did I ever say that?" Xiao Yuxi frowned slightly, seeming a little puzzled. "I asked you to provide a reasonable reason for your leave."
Pei Xuan discovered that although Xiao Yuxi's voice had an excellent timbre, it was too rigid.
This princess had just graduated at the end of last year and had been serving as the Imperial College's chief academic officer for just over a semester. But perhaps because of the gold-rimmed glasses she wore, she gave Pei Xuan the impression of being as old-fashioned and serious as an old teacher who had been teaching for twenty years, yet also had a kind of nerdy and cute temperament.
Xiao Yuxi is obviously a young and beautiful girl of only 20 years old, but for some reason she has such a personality and temperament, which makes Pei Xuan feel very interesting.
"We were wrong before." Pei Xuan took over the conversation, "We asked for leave to go to the Wanmu Mountains to pay our respects."
"To express remembrance?" Xiao Yuxi thought for a moment, "Then why not go there during the ten-day break?"
"Because the ten-day holiday is too short." Pei Xuan started to talk nonsense openly, "and we have too many memories."
"Pei Qingyu grew up with her brother, so it's understandable that she has so many memories of him." Xiao Yuxi was puzzled. "But you, as far as I know, have never actually met Pei Qingye. Why do you also have so many memories of him?"
"I didn't." Pei Xuan admitted, "I wanted to accompany my sister so that she wouldn't be too sad. The other three members who asked for leave with us also wanted to accompany her."
"I see." Xiao Yuxi nodded, seemingly convinced. "That makes sense. I approve your request for leave. However, I have a task for you."
"What mission?" Pei Xuan asked curiously.
"Pei Qingye and his team went to the Wanmu Mountains to investigate the sudden fluctuations in spiritual energy there. However, due to an unexpected incident, the investigation was not completed." Xiao Yuxi adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "I want you to continue the investigation."
Pei Xuan and Pei Qingyu exchanged a glance. Before they could say anything, Xiao Yuxi added, "Although the spiritual energy fluctuations haven't caught the attention of the Imperial Observatory this time, the evidence I've gathered is quite significant. I'm planning to hire a Heavenly Rank cultivator to serve as the Director of the Imperial College to investigate this matter. So, don't stress yourself out; just do your best. Whatever intelligence you bring back will be very helpful."
Since this task had no indicators, there would be no failure, so the Pei siblings accepted it with peace of mind.
Xiao Yuxi had nothing else to say to them, so he politely asked them to leave.
After returning to the dormitory, Pei Qingyu booked five flights for the next morning. Pei Xuan sent messages to Chai Rongxu and Yu Zhichu respectively, asking them to pack their luggage quickly and come to Pei Qingyu's dormitory for a party at 8 o'clock tonight.
Before leaving, Pei Xuan decided to enjoy himself. Tonight he would pull the four little sex slaves together and sleep in the same quilt, one dragon and four phoenixes.
