“What? You don’t know about the three-second man?” The little fox looked at Chen Ling with some surprise when she heard Sui Li’er’s question.

Inner thoughts: What have you been doing all this time? Why is she still so innocent?

Chen Ling: “Why the hell are you looking at me like that? I’m not a three-second man. Do you want to die?”

The little fox was frightened and quickly explained: “Cough~ No, no, you misunderstood!”

“What? What are you guys talking about?” Sui Li’er, unable to understand, couldn’t join the conversation and felt a bit annoyed.

Chen Ling said lightly: “Children shouldn’t ask questions they shouldn’t ask.”

“Hmph~ I won’t ask if I don’t want to ask~ No, I’m not a child! I’m an adult now! Hmph! You’re the little brother who is younger than me! Your birthday is after mine!”

Chen Ling: ??? You can call me brother, but you can’t call me little brother!

His expression immediately darkened: “Hmm, you’ll know who’s smaller sooner or later.”

Sui Li’er couldn’t understand, and she pouted in a spoiled manner, “Hmph~”

For Sui Li’er and Chen Ling, this morning was relatively peaceful.

But the entire Misty Rain City was in a frenzy.

The first thing was the exposure of Min Jiangyun’s curse. Those shiny golden characters in the sky became the topic of conversation during everyone’s breakfast.

“Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought? Min Jiangyun is surrounded by countless beautiful women every day, but he can’t enjoy any of it. Hahaha.”

“Maybe he only lasts for two or three seconds each time? That’s barely something.”

“He’s doomed to die, hahaha~ The great mage is so terrifying.”

Those people who had wished to go and flatter him were now the ones mocking him the most.

The second thing was that everyone was speculating about who was behind those shiny golden characters in the sky. How long would these characters last?

Even though releasing a single rune doesn’t require much magic power, the sheer quantity of these runes lasting for such a long time indicates a significant consumption. Being able to maintain these runes for such a long duration implies that the person responsible is at least a high-level grand mage, if not higher.

Almost everyone speculated that Min Jiangyun had offended a terrifying curse master, which led to his current miserable situation. A curse master was someone above ten thousand others.

Aside from the twelve forbidden curse masters in the world, known as the Star Leaders, curse masters were considered gods in people’s hearts.

At this moment, all the students and mentors of the Aries Celestial Palae Academy were discussing this matter.

Normally, Min Jiangyun was a “great” mentor and had quite a few devoted female fans. Now, the houses of those female fans had collapsed. Their idol turned out to be a three-second man, which was truly hard to accept ( Lol ).

“Hahaha, this is hilarious! Look, your idol is being publicly humiliated!” The male students burst into laughter, each one louder than the other.

However, for the academy’s dean, this was no laughing matter. In a few days, it would be the day of the Twelve Great Academies’ Joint Examination.

Min Jiangyun, as a mentor of the Aries Celestial Academy, had caused such a major incident. By then, the Aries Celestial Academy would undoubtedly become the laughingstock of the other academies.

No, there was no need to wait; it had already become a laughingstock!

In theory, curses should not be mocked since everyone carries their own curses. But Min Jiangyun’s curse… it’s just… it’s hard not to think of it as something funny.

At this moment, all the mentors were gathered in the main conference room of the Aries Celestial Academy for an emergency meeting.

“Where is Min Jiangyun?” A chubby little guy with a big head and big ears stood in front of the mentors, angrily shouting.

This chubby little guy was none other than the Vice Dean of the Aries Celestial Academy, Qitian Ming. Don’t underestimate him just because he’s chubby with a big head and big ears. He can sit someone to death with one butt.

No. This chubby guy is none other than the famous King of the Underworld, Qitian Ming. Magic Level: Capricorn Curse Master!

His strength is terrifying.

Once a person reaches the level of a curse master, they can rejuvenate, making him appear very young. Without considering his age, one might mistake him for a student of this academy.

At this moment, not a single person in the audience spoke.

Only Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er knew what happened last night. But the two of them had reached a consensus not to mention Min Jiangyun being a dark magic user. There might be other dark magic users in the academy so they were afraid of alarming them.

As for Wang Defa…

That guy hasn’t come back yet. Probably still flying somewhere.

“Who was the mentor on duty last night?! Stand up.” The chubby guy shouted loudly, his aura bursting out, making everyone tense.

Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er glanced at each other and stood up simultaneously.

“Vice Dean, last night, Yan Ran, Xi Wei’er, and Wang Defa were on duty together with Min Jiangyun.”

Qitian Ming coldly looked at Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er and said indifferently: “What about the two of them?”

“Min Jiangyun was taken away, and as for Wang Defa…”

“What happened to him?”

Yan Ran helplessly said: “He was kicked away and hasn’t returned yet.”

“What?”

There was an uproar in the room.

Wang Defa, a high-level grand mage, was kicked away and hasn’t returned yet? This sounds like a joke.

Qitian Ming narrowed his eyes. “Who did it? A curse master?”

Yan Ran clenched her teeth. “It’s most likely a curse master. Vice Dean, do you happen to know a star curse master named Chen Ling?”

At this point, Yan Ran no longer considered Chen Ling as a young boy but rather as someone who had rejuvenated. His power was truly terrifying.

“Chen Ling? What constellation is he from? What kind of curses is he skilled in?” There are only a few curse masters in the world, and people in the circle generally know each other. However, Qitian Ming hadn’t heard of this name before and continued to inquire.

“I’m not sure about his constellation, but he is skilled in… um…” Yan Ran hesitated, unsure of how to explain.

Qitian Ming glared at her in anger. “What are you hesitating about? Are you trying to conceal and protect him?”

Yan Ran quickly explained, “No, no, I would never protect him.”

“Speak up!” Qitian Ming’s head was about to explode. The shining words in the sky had a tremendous impact on the Aries Celestial Academy. Although everyone was currently discussing Min Jiangyun, it wouldn’t be long before the academy itself would be implicated.

The Dean had only recently left the academy, and now such a scandal had occurred, which was truly a disgrace.

Yan Ran clenched her teeth and said, “He seems to be skilled in handshakes?”

Qitian Ming: ???

Everyone else: ???

“Do you think you’re being funny?” Qitian Ming asked.

Yan Ran anticipated that the Dean wouldn’t believe her, so she continued, “No, Dean, there are some things I want to discuss with you privately. Last night’s events were too bizarre.”

She stared intensely at Qitian Ming.

Qitian Ming, noticing her gaze, also realized that the situation wasn’t so simple. He cast a cold glance at the others present.

The others immediately understood and left the area.

Only Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er remained.

Then Qitian Ming snapped his fingers, and golden runes appeared out of thin air. In an instant, a golden light flashed, followed by a universal Sound Isolation Magic that enveloped the three of them.

“Speak.”

“Min Jiangyun is a dark magic user.”

“What did you say?” Qitian Ming’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch.

“He really is a dark mage,” Xi Wei’er said beside him.

“Tell me the details.”

Then Yan Ran and Xi Wei’er proceeded to tell Qitian Ming everything about last night’s events, in great detail.

Qitian Ming’s expression fluctuated as he listened, sometimes surprised, sometimes furrowing his brow.

After Yan Ran finished speaking, he fell into silence, lost in thought.

Seeing his silence, Xi Wei’er asked, “Dean Qitian, could Chen Ling be someone sent by higher authorities?”

Qitian Ming shook his head, “Do you think people from higher authorities would stoop to such unethical actions?” He was obviously referring to the giant words in the sky.

People from the Aries Celestial Palace would definitely not do something like this. Such actions would tarnish the reputation of the celestial palace. However, if those words couldn’t be revoked, the reputation of the celestial palace would still be damaged.

“Then who is he, after all?” Yan Ran was extremely curious.

Qitian Ming pondered for a moment and said calmly, “We can’t rule out the possibility of internal conflict.”

“No way!” Yan Ran firmly denied this speculation. “I don’t think he’s a bad person. Otherwise, we would have all died last night.”

If Chen Ling knew that Yan Ran was defending him like this, he would surely be unable to help but sigh, “Ah~ It’s all because I’m too handsome.”

“I’ll consult with higher authorities about this matter. We must find a way to revoke those words in the sky.”

Yan Ran was surprised to hear this and said, “Even you can’t neutralize those runes?”

Qitian Ming shook his head. “Although we’re both curse masters, that person’s power clearly surpasses mine. I’ve tried before, but there’s no way to remove them.”

“And regarding the matter of the dark mage, let’s keep it confidential for now. I’ll discuss it with the higher-ups.”

“Yes!”
