Chapter 1657: Chapter 1649

Mu Chen listened and rolled his eyes.

"Do you think I’m like you? I’m a supervisor, not someone destined for leisurely indulgence. Last night, I went to a meeting."

Mu Chen had been away from Qingtian Academy for over a month, delaying many matters.

Upon returning, he was overwhelmed with work.

Adding to this, the disappearance of Ghost Shiva increased the workload on the Fengdong side.

Occasionally, messages arrived from Fengdong, leaving Mu Chen struggling to keep up.

To make matters worse, while already busy, Qingtian Academy received another piece of news. The two deans, upon learning about it, immediately convened the supervisors for a nighttime discussion.

Therefore, Mu Chen accidentally missed the gathering at De Yue Building last night.

However, since he missed it, even if he hadn’t been affected by the Gu Insect, he would have caused quite a stir.

"What happened?"

Xin Lin asked curiously.

"Why is a kid like you concerned about so much?"

Mu Chen replied in a tone that showed he was reluctant to engage with her.

Xin Lin chuckled twice and whispered.

"How about we exchange information?"

Mu Chen glanced at Xin Lin, wondering what mischief she was up to again.

He knew Xin Lin often had many quirky ideas.

He just didn’t know what she was planning this time.

"Do you want to know the whereabouts of Ghost Shiva?"

Xin Lin grinned.

Mu Chen’s expression turned serious.

"I’ll tell you the news about her if you tell me what was discussed at the supervisors’ meeting."

Xin Lin didn’t need to guess to suspect this meeting was related to the upcoming Little Eagle Chick Conference.

"Did you kill Ghost Shiva?"

Mu Chen noticed Xin Lin didn’t deny it and cursed silently.

"Did you team up with the Corpse King?"

Mu Chen absolutely refused to believe Xin Lin could kill Ghost Shiva alone.

Xin Lin remained mysterious without offering an explanation.

Mu Chen’s expression changed.

With Ghost Shiva gone from Fengdong, despite the significant loss, it might not be entirely bad.

At the very least, he could attempt to recruit Murong Ziyue back. With her talent, given time, she could surely surpass Ghost Shiva.

"Forget about Ghost Shiva’s death. You didn’t take anything from her, did you?"

Mu Chen stared at Xin Lin.

"She didn’t have anything on her."

Xin Lin spread her hands, unwilling to admit she got anything.

"Little rascal."

Mu Chen muttered.

"Well, it’s no harm telling you. The organizers of the Little Eagle Chick Conference just sent word that besides sending representative students, each participating academy must also have two supervisors escorting them—one spirit and one martial arts. The two deans are discussing who to send."

Judging by Mu Chen’s appearance, the Spirit Institute’s chance of sending him is high.

"Who is the organizer of the Little Eagle Chick Conference? Is it the Taichang Holy Institute or...?"

"Of course not. If the Taichang Holy Institute were the organizer, why would they send people too? You wouldn’t know even if I told you. Wait until you’re eligible to participate in the Eagle Chick Conference, then it won’t be too late."

Mu Chen waved his hand.

"By the way, be careful of Chang Yuchun, don’t get too close."

Mu Chen picked up Rong Qiu and, before leaving, reminded Xin Lin.

"Do you suspect there’s something wrong with him?"

Xin Lin quickly asked.

She also felt something was off about him but couldn’t find any clues.

"You should be aware; he replaced your leader’s position and also gets close to leaders from several other classes. Such people tend to harbor ulterior motives."

Mu Chen had seen many people and had little regard for Chang Yuchun’s actions.
