Treasure identifying Golden Finger

1The young guard's face flushed slightly as if he was embarrassed that Faang Cheng had pointed out his weakness. He nodded at Faang Cheng and spoke.    

    

"I - I'll go in now, but - I must say that the reason why the convent has been so closely guarded these days is that a child was lost three days ago, and has not yet been found. So... we have to guard the gate of the academy well. We can't let you in as you please, so don't blame us. After I inform Director Zheng, if he agrees to let you in, I'll let you in."    

    

The young guard explained to Faang Cheng and the others in a reasonable manner.    

    

"Alright, no problem. In that case, I'll have to trouble you to inform him that Young Master Fang from Seahold wants to meet him. He'll understand."    

    

Faang Cheng nodded, indicating that he accepted the young guard's words.    

    

"Alright, then wait a moment!"    

    

With that, the young guard turned around and called for another guard to guard the gate, to prevent anyone else from entering. Only then did he turn around and enter the Spirit Cultivation Academy.    

    

"He lost his child three days ago?"    

    

Hearing the guard's words, Yuan Yue could not help but look at Faang Cheng and the Gu King in confusion. The three of them stood in place and looked at each other in dismay.    

    

"There's no rush. When we meet Zheng Ziyun later, we'll ask him about the situation."    

    

Faang Cheng said softly.    

    

"Losing a child in the Spirit Cultivation Academy isn't a small matter, right? Furthermore, it's closely related to the academy. But... we have already been here for two days. City Lord Lu did not seem to have mentioned this matter to us. He knows that we're coming to the Spirit Cultivation Academy today, but why hasn't he mentioned this to us?"    

    

Yuan Yue looked at Faang Cheng in confusion.    

    

Faang Cheng frowned as he also thought of this crucial point.    

    

"If so, then it is quite possible that the Conventions did not report the matter to Lu Yanlin, and that they intended to settle the matter themselves."    

    

Faang Cheng guessed.    

    

"When Zheng Ziyun arrives later, we'll ask him what's going on!"    

    

Just as the three of them were waiting for Zheng Ziyun at the entrance of the Spirit Cultivation Academy, they saw a group of people walking towards them from afar. Some of them were even armed.    

    

Faang Cheng's eyebrows twitched. He exchanged glances with Yuan Yue and the Gu King, then quietly took a step back, giving up the spot at the entrance of the Spirit Cultivation Academy.    

    

"You... Return my child to me..."    

    

There was a middle-aged woman walking in the front. Her face was pale and she looked weak. She was supported by two young women, so she could barely walk. As soon as she reached the gate of the Spirit Cultivation Academy, she cried out to the guards and the gate of the Spirit Cultivation Academy.    

    

"I sent my child to your academy to study, but he just disappeared. My child... Where is my child? Give my child back to me!"    

    

The more she spoke, the sadder she felt. And then she started to cry.    

    

"From what you said, this woman seems to be the mother of the missing child!"    

    

Looking at this scene, Yuan Yue guessed in her heart.    

    

"If this woman is the mother of the child, then what about the people behind her? What are they doing? Could they be relatives? If they are just relatives... Would there be so many people? Some of them are even carrying weapons. No matter how I look at it... they don't look like ordinary relatives."    

    

The Gu King crossed his arms and couldn't help but say.    

    

"Indeed, these people don't seem like ordinary people. Let's take a look first!"    

    

Faang Cheng stood at the side and said indifferently.    

    

"You guys... You guys are here again!"    

    

It was obviously not the first time the young guard had seen them. He immediately revealed a troubled expression and said timidly.    

    

"What do you mean we are here again? Our child is lost, isn't it right to ask your school for our child? Not only have we come again, but we are also going to live in your Spirit Cultivation Academy every day. If you can't find our child, we will make you unable to rest in peace."    

    

One of them, a young woman holding the middle-aged couple, spoke sharply, her tone harsh, but there was no trace of concern or sadness in her voice except anger and bitterness. It was totally different from what the middle-aged woman felt.    

    

"Yes, we will live in your Spirit Cultivation Academy and let you have no peace every day!"    

    

The men with weapons and who knew what they were doing behind them also spoke with an angry tone.    

    

"You... you can't be like this! Our Director Zheng and some of the other teachers are worried about this every day. They've been trying to find this child, but... We haven't found anything yet, but we really..."    

    

"Stop talking nonsense. It is not your child that is lost. Are you worried? What is the use of being anxious? Besides, who knows if you are really worried or not! The real thing is to find the child for us immediately! "    

    

"Cut the crap. Let us go in and get an explanation from your man with the surname Zheng."    

    

"That's right. We'll stay in their Spirit Cultivation Academy until our child is found."    

    

The men behind the middle-aged woman had begun to make a racket, and were already beginning to move towards the gates of the Cultivation College. They seemed determined to rush in and demand an explanation from Zheng Ziyun.    

    

"Eh? You can't go in. There's been a loss of children at the Cultivation College, and our gate is now locked, so no one can come and go as they please. Even the teachers, students, and other staff at the Cultivation College have special signs to get in and out of the gate, so you can't go in."    

    

Faang Cheng was satisfied with the fact that the guards were guarding their posts. He understood the feeling of losing his child. However, the Spirit Cultivation Academy was currently at the center of a lot of trouble, so they could not be allowed to enter. Furthermore... Faang Cheng felt that the identities of these people needed to be investigated.    

    

"We are the family members of the victim, so why can't we enter? Do you want to lock us out?"    

    

The men started to shout, attracting the people who were passing by.    

    

At this moment, the guards who had just entered the Spirit Cultivation Academy to look for Zheng Ziyun hurriedly ran out. They were shocked by the scene in front of them. However, he calmed himself down and walked in front of Faang Cheng.
