"The evaluation is finally out. I heard my father mention it when I went back home during the Chinese New Year. However, the seventh level is only temporary. I believe that it won't be long before the national strength can be improved further." She smiled, her words revealing confidence.
"That's for sure." The eight people responded with a smile.
Feng Jiu glanced around, but didn't see Xiang Hua and Bai Xiao, so she asked, "Where are they?"
"Bai Xiao and Du Fan are in the back mountain. Xiang Hua took a mission two days ago and went out. He hasn't come back yet. But according to the time, he should be back today." Luo Yu said, and told her about the missions they had received in recent days and the improvement in their strength.
"Master, we have all reached the level of martial master. Since we took over the task, there has been no task that we cannot complete."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu chuckled: "Don't be too proud, this is only in Qingteng Country, the martial arts sect is not strong, you have to be careful when walking outside, ok, I'm going to rest first, I will go back to the academy tomorrow morning, Leng Shuang and Leng Hua will stay here, come find me if you have anything!"
"Yes." Everyone responded, and after watching her leave, they surrounded Leng Shuang and Leng Hua and asked them questions. Especially after learning that Leng Hua had become a water spirit root, they were even more curious.
However, in the evening, before it was completely dark, Du Fan, Luo Yu and others had changed expressions and hurried to the yard where she lived.
"Master, something happened."
Feng Jiu in the room had just woken up for a while. After hearing the anxious voices outside, she opened the door and walked out. Seeing everyone with sad and angry expressions, her heart sank. When she was about to speak, she noticed that the complexion of several of them was not right.
"Master, Xiang Hua, Xiang Hua... he's dead."
Luo Yu said, lowering his head in grief. Although they had known Xiang Hua for a short time, they worked together and went on missions together, but who would have thought that he would die strangely after taking a mission.
Fengjiu was about to ask them where they had been, but after hearing this, her heart skipped a beat: "Dead? How did he die? How did you know? Where did you get the news from?"
How could he, a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, die so easily? She had never thought that they would suddenly tell her that Xiang Hua was dead.
Du Fan took a deep breath and said in a sad voice: "Someone triggered the formation and hung his body outside our manor. Let's go out and check..."
When they got outside, they didn't see anyone else, but only saw Xiang Hua's body hanging on a tree not far away. When they saw his body, they were all a little bit unbelievable. They couldn't believe that Xiang Hua, who was still alive and well and drinking and laughing with them two days ago, was dead like this.
"Where is the body?" She had a sullen face and cold eyes.
"In the front yard." Everyone said and took her to the front yard.
Arriving at the front yard, Fengjiu did not touch Xiang Hua's body, but stood one step away and watched. Seeing the person lying on the ground had no breath and his body was stiff, she clenched her hands into fists, and murderous intent surged in her heart.
She raised her eyes and glanced at them: "Du Fan, Luo Yu, Fan Lin, Xuan Duo, and Fang Cheng, did you all touch Xiang Hua's body?"
