An Academy Life: 8

/*unedited*/

Meanwhile outside of the compound where Aye Muyan and the rest of Shin Jiao's family lived a commotion is happening.

A group of people are outside of the small compound and starting a ruckus, this group of people are some of the Jiao family members. Two women in their late 30's wearing extravagant robes stood behind a group of servants looking men with imposing auras.

"Aye Muyan you b*tch… come out of here. You think you can seduce our lord and come back to the family. Dream on! You and your useless son would soon be kicked out of the city. We will destroy your house and those whom you are acquainted with! Get out of here you b*tch!" shouted one of the women.

The two women are the concubines of Si'en Jiao who felt aggrieved as nowadays their husband would not visit their chambers anymore and became jealous of Aye Muyan. They know that their husband Si'en Jiao seems to have been mesmerized by Aye Muyan's young yet mature beauty. So they feel hatred swelling in their hearts as days went by. But today, they had enough and wanted to settle things on their own.

In their thought, if they can get rid of the push over Aye Muyan they can gain the attention of Si'en Jiao back.

Since the two women are protected inside the family, they are not aware of what has happened outside. Plus Si'en Jiao has put a hold of the family with regards to some information about Aye Muyan. Hence the two are clueless about the new situation outside.

"All of you attack at once! I want to see this place burned to the ground." shouted one of the women.

As the group of servants attacked the gate, they suddenly felt that they hit a very strong barrier. But what they didn't expect is the recoil from that barrier which threw them backward for a couple of meters.

This situation made everyone dumbfounded. They never would have expected that the simple-looking compound has a very strong array defending it.

"Destroy the barrier!"

"This is only a low-level barrier, I command you all to attack at the same time."

When the command was said, all the servants gathered their Qi and simultaneously attacked the invisible barrier.

Bang!!!The loud sound of an explosion echoed through the air as the servants' attacks collided with the barrier.

But then suddenly the two women were shocked as they saw a couple of people flying out of the smoke which the impact caused.

Like lifeless ragdolls, all of the servants flew out from the smoke dust and their bodies lay on the ground. Many have suffered some wounds with some even losing their limbs.

"I suggest all of you leave this place before I decide to kill each and every one of you."

Suddenly a woman's threatening tone echoed through the air.

Then from the compound, the wooden gate slowly opens and the beautiful and sexy figure of Jiyi slowly appears from everyone's eyes. Ever since cultivating with Shin Jiao and learning about some technique in getting the best when cultivating, Jiyi has improved her own strength and is now almost reaching the middle stages of the gold core realm.

But her strength is more than that of her cultivation level as she too practices body refining technique along with cultivating Qi. And because of that, her features are becoming more beautiful and lovely as time goes by after refining her physique to the late stages of the core-forming realm using the pod that Shin Jiao built. Although her physique hasn't reached her cultivation yet, however, it is improving at a rapid pace.

"Who… who are you? How dare you threaten us! We are from the Jiao family and we will destroy this poor-looking place." Shouted one of Si'en Jiao's concubines.

But before she can say anymore, Jiyi's figure suddenly vanished and appears next to a man standing beside that woman.

Without any word, Jiyi sent out a simple punch to that man and made him flew out a couple of meters away from where he stood. His body tumbled to the ground helplessly and when he stopped he has already passed out.

"This is just a warning… Leave now or suffer the consequences." Jiyi said in a cold tone.

Upon seeing her easily dispose of one of their powerful guards, the people from the Jiao family suddenly felt fear. They didn't expect that Aye Muyan would have someone very powerful in her side. So with fear and trembling, everyone ran out of that place which restored the peace.

After that day, the compound became peaceful and quiet.

…

Meanwhile, in the Great Wu Academy's principal office…

Shin Jiao is currently standing in front of six middle-aged men and women.

"So you are the lad that discovered the infiltration?" a middle-aged woman asked with squinted eyes towards Shin Jiao.

With a nod, Shin Jiao confirmed the question, and then turn his head towards the principal."How may I be of service to the seniors?" Shin Jiao asked politely.

He didn't want to appear imposing to these people because he is aware of the danger he would be in if these people wanted to do something. The five deans are showing an imposing aura and from what he noticed, they are not just simple characters.

He has already met the Dean of Martial Technique Department and he has known that his cultivation is very high. He actually needed his goggles to determine his cultivation, and this goes the same to all the rest of the people in the room.

It might be enough to say that these people are monsters in their own rights.

"Well, we just found something weird about the incident a few days ago." The Dean of the War Tactics Department suddenly said.

His Great Wu Academy Dean's robe looks like the rest but the palm-sized Trigram insignia on his left breast pocket looks imposing.

"You didn't hesitate in killing those two beast-men who had disguised themselves as students. But when you were fighting against the senior student called Guxian Deng, it seems that you had a hard time. We already found that those two have higher cultivation than Guxian Deng… Perhaps you've known that they were beast-men? How?" the middle-aged man from the War Tactics Department asked.

"Huh? I guess, they think that Guxian Deng is easier to beat than those two. But in truth, he is harder to beat because of that artifact of his." Shin Jiao thought.

"Senior, this humble one will tell you the truth… Yes, I actually detected their unique auras beforehand and decided to kill them." Shin Jiao replied.

He knows that this is the only explanation he can say that would earn the trust of these monsters. If he lied even for a single bit then his life would be truly forfeited.

"So that's it… Then how were you able to detect them when we ourselves are unable to." Suddenly the Dean of the Martial Technique Department asked.

"Ah, Dean, that's because I have been in contact with these kinds of aura in my travel." Shin Jiao replied.

But he is thinking if he can share gear or a machine that can determine if one is truly human or not.

"What are the pros and cons if I design a detector for them… hmm… Maybe for pros, I can be free from the classes and have more time in the library, and explore more of the academy… Then for cons… these seniors would see my true ability as a crafter. I guess, the pros outweigh the cons, plus it would benefit the humans more in this war." Shin Jiao muses.

Upon hearing his answer, the Deans of every department and the principal became quiet. They wanted to probe more but hesitated as they know that this is a sensitive matter for the student. But one of them didn't mind as she truly wanted to prevent any spies from entering the academy.

So the middle-aged woman with the insignia of the Alchemy Department in her robe suddenly asked with a serious tone.

"Young man, if you can help us in detecting the spies we would greatly reward you."

As she said that she turns her gaze towards the rest of the deans and the principal. They all nodded their heads in agreement.

"They seem to be using a high level of concealment and their aura's are almost the same as the humans… no matter how hard we tried to experiment on this we seem to find no answer. The two bodies of those beast-men are now in my care and are undergoing some study. But until now we can't come up with any concrete answer to this problem."

After she said that, everyone became silent. As cultivators with high cultivation levels, they are aware of the gravity of the situation if they themselves are unable to detect the presence of the enemy spy in their midst. But since Shin Jiao can detect them, then they have the highest chance to learn this skill if it is a skill or technique.

As the pillar of the academy, they wanted to be of help to the Great Wu Kingdom especially the Great Wu kingdom is in the border between the Beastia land and the cultivation land. In this aspect, the Great Wu kingdom is the first line of defense against the beast-men and so they needed to up their game in this war at all cost.

"Umm… I think I can help the seniors with this problem. But…I have some conditions.." Suddenly Shin Jiao said with a crafty smile on his face.
