Meanwhile, on the other side.

  Mo Jing and Mo Ye’s growth continued at full speed.

  Jiu Ge had sent the twin sisters to South Li and North Ming respectively, with deep schemes and careful intentions.

  That night, the Ji Manor held a small night banquet to entertain several young talents close to the Ji clan.

  The moonlight was hazy, and everyone was slightly drunk — when disaster struck suddenly!

  Several black shadows slipped into the venue like ghosts. A sharp murderous aura locked onto Mo Jing, who was chatting with Yun Shu!

  “Look out!”

  Ji Ruxu reacted first, shouting sharply. A stream of light instantly shielded Mo Jing.

  But the attackers were clearly prepared, with an extremely clear division of labor:

  Two people entangled Ji Ruxu at all costs, while the other three shot straight at Mo Jing like arrows!

  The sword light was icy cold, carrying deadly law power.

  It happened so suddenly that Ji Wuli, Yun Juan, and the others were stunned.

  At the critical moment, Mo Jing’s eyes narrowed sharply.

  The second Professor Jiu frantically warned her in her Sea of Consciousness, and she reacted instinctively —

  her body twisted at an unimaginable angle, narrowly dodging two fatal attacks.

  At the same time, a dim light flashed at her fingertips. A tiny defensive rune trained in her Sea of Consciousness activated instantly!

  “Buzz ——”

  The third sword light was blocked by the dim light for just a moment.

  That single moment was enough for Ji Ruxu to break free!

  “Insolence!”

  She shouted coldly, her aura like ice from the ninth heaven.

  A brilliant radiance burst from her palm, like a galaxy, instantly enveloping all the attackers!

  When the light faded, the attackers lay on the ground, alive or dead unknown.

  The banquet was in chaos, and everyone was terrified.

  Ji Ruxu walked to Mo Jing. Seeing her pale but calm eyes, she praised:

  “Calm in danger, extremely fast reflexes. Excellent!”

  She knelt to check the attackers, her frown deepening:

  “They’re dead soldiers from the Shadow Pavilion. Why would they want to kill you?”

  Mo Jing took a deep breath, suppressed her surging energy, and shook her gently.

  She did not know what the Shadow Pavilion was, but she understood:

  The secret on her body had attracted deadly attention.

  This manor was no longer safe.

  The truth of the Abyss Chasm must be uncovered quickly.

  Danger was approaching step by step.

  The courses at Wensi Academy were far more difficult than outsiders imagined.

  While ordinary students studied Basic Talisman Outline, Class A had already moved into advanced fields: Star Track Calculation and Spirit Formation Geometry.

  The instructor drew complex formation diagrams on a jade wall. The glowing lines made most students frown deeply.

  Mo Jing sat quietly, her fingers silently deducing on her knees —

  this was exactly what Professor Jiu had taught her the night before:

  Applications of Non-Euclidean Geometry in Curvature Space.

  “Mo Jing.”

  If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  The instructor suddenly called her name. “Explain the shift pattern of the earth vein spiritual pressure nodes during the Seven Stars Alignment.”

  All eyes focused on her instantly.

  Yun Juan in the back row looked up — precise calculation was his greatest strength.

  Ji Wuli clenched his cuffs, full of concern.

  Yun Shu quietly took out her memory jade slip.

  Mo Jing stood up, her voice clear and melodious:

  “According to the traditional Song of Sky Steps, the shift should be three inches and seven parts.

  But if we consider the siphon effect of the Abyss Chasm on spiritual flow…”

  She paused, then continued under the instructor’s brightening gaze:

  “The actual shift should be five inches and two parts, and the nodes will show a double helix oscillation.”

  The classroom fell completely silent; a pin drop could be heard.

  Even the instructor had not mentioned this!

  The instructor clapped in admiration:

  “Excellent! This is exactly the prototype of the final calculation question in this year’s Six Courses Competition!”

  After class, Yun Juan took the initiative to approach her, which was extremely rare:

  “Junior Sister Mo, could you explain the double helix model in detail?”

  The two deduced together on a stone table in the sunset glow.

  When Mo Jing wrote out the spiritual energy differential equation improved by Professor Jiu, Yun Juan’s eyes blazed with fanaticism:

  “This… this is ten times more sophisticated than my clan’s Nine Chapters of Arithmetic!”

  On a day off, the four went to the Scripture Pavilion together.

  In front of the ancient book area protected by defensive formations, they met an unexpected person.

  Han Jiuqiu stood at the corridor entrance with two clan juniors. Seeing Mo Jing’s group, he smiled and bowed:

  “Looking for Northern Ming Geography? I just finished reading it.”

  He stepped aside gracefully.

  But when his gaze swept over Mo Jing’s neck, his pupils shrank imperceptibly —

  hanging there was the spirit jade left by Mo Chou, emitting a faint fluctuation only the Han bloodline could sense.

  Ji Wuli stepped forward, quietly blocking Mo Jing, and smiled charmingly:

  “No need to trouble you, Senior Brother Han.”

  As they passed each other, Han Jiuqiu suddenly transmitted his voice secretly:

  “Do you still have your mother’s Purple Qi Coming East Diagram?”

  Mo Jing’s body stiffened slightly.

  It was a relic left by her mother, Mo Chou — a secret even her adoptive father did not know!

  She looked back calmly. Han Jiuqiu smiled meaningfully and turned away.

  “He is testing you.”

  Professor Jiu’s voice immediately sounded in her Sea of Consciousness. “Detected that he carries a spirit-detecting mirror specially made for the North Dynasty court.”

  At midnight, the night was as dark as ink.

  The secret chamber was so quiet you could hear a heartbeat.

  Mo Jing’s expression was grave. Her hands trembled slightly as she took out the spirit jade from her chest.

  Professor Jiu’s phantom floated beside her, his voice urgent:

  “Hurry! Use spiritual energy as a guide to build a thirteen-layer nested formation, just like I taught you!”

  Mo Jing did not dare slack off. Her spiritual energy circulated rapidly, and the formation took shape like a shadow.

  “Begin reverse analysis! Watch the chaotic area at the core of the spirit jade!”

  As soon as Professor Jiu finished urging, a drastic change exploded like thunder!

  The spirit jade broke free from her grasp and floated into the air.

  In an instant, a vast star map burst out. Countless lights swirled and converged, pulled by an invisible giant force, finally condensing into nine twisted ancient characters, like a demon’s curse —

  At the bottom of the Abyss Chasm lies Li Ming Jiu Ge.

  Almost at the same moment.

  At the Linghu Manor on the North Dynasty border.

  “BOOM ——!”

  A loud noise exploded like thunder.

  Mo Ye, who was adjusting new dyes, looked up sharply.

  The spirit jade around her neck burned hot in an instant, scalding her almost to scream.

  Staring at the suddenly boiling colorful dye vat, Mo Ye’s lips trembled, murmuring:

  “Sister… are you calling me?”

  Behind Wensi Academy, moonlight fell like frost.

  Two black shadows appeared like ghosts.

  “Confirm she is Mo Chou’s daughter?” a low, icy voice asked.

  “Spirit jade reaction is correct. The other piece is with the little girl in the Linghu family who invented tennis.”

  “Our Lord has ordered…”

  “Understood. Before they uncover the Abyss Chasm’s secret…”

  A cold flash cut through the air, like the scythe of Death.

  Pine needles fell softly — a premonition of death.

  Mo Ye had no idea.

  From the moment she tried to unlock the spirit jade’s secret, the underground forces of the North and South Dynasties had spread like a giant black net.

  And all of this was watched closely by a pair of cold electronic eyes high in the clouds.
