Ao Kangsheng was not polite either. He immediately walked over and sat opposite Shui Linxing.

"Little Demon, do you like tea?"

Shui Linggen held a teapot in one hand and two teacups in the other.

Proud Cangsheng was taken aback, seemingly flattered by Shui Linghan’s casual demeanor.

"General!"

Ao Kangsheng opened his mouth and said something embarrassing.

Shui Linggen smiled and poured a cup of tea for Ao Kangsheng and himself. "This was given to me by an old friend five years ago. It’s called Boiled Sword Snow. I’ve only tasted it once, and found the flavor quite nice. You should try it!"

Cangsheng nodded and immediately picked up the cup of tea and took a sip.

He was not learned in tea, so he couldn’t distinguish good tea.

However, when the tea entered his mouth, a smooth and clear sensation flowed into his abdomen and then spread throughout his body’s meridians.

In an instant, Ao Cangsheng felt refreshed, his spirit full.

"Yes, this is good tea!"

Feeling the lingering aroma of the tea, Ao Kangsheng couldn’t help but praise it.

Shui Lengle laughed heartily, turned around to set down the teapot, and also sat in a chair.

"Do you want to know what I’m looking for?"

Shui Linghan took another sip of the sweet tea, raised his white eyebrows, and smiled.

"A bit curious!"

Ao Kangsheng smiled too, answering honestly.

"Then guess what I’m here for?"

Shui Linghan put down his teacup and looked at Ao Cangsheng.

They frowned, "I’m afraid I can’t guess what the Dean is thinking."

"Is that so? I suppose you don’t really think so, do you?"

Recently, the hottest topic at the Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School has been about who will ascend the Nine Floors of Seven Days Tower. What do you think?"

"I don’t know."

Ao Cangsheng replied concisely and comprehensively.

"Why do you say so?"

Shui Linghan seemed a bit surprised.

"Because it has nothing to do with me."

Ao Kangsheng continued to answer swiftly.

"Is that so?"

Shui Lingleng gave a weird smile, as if seeing through Ao Cangsheng’s heart.

Ao Cangsheng nodded, remaining indifferent.

However, when he asked Shui Linggen, Shui Linggen said she didn’t go to the eighth floor, only the seventh.

Thus, Shui Linghan thought of Ao Cangsheng.

Although the possibility of climbing to the ninth floor is slim, at this moment, Shui Linxing couldn’t think of a second person.

"If something strange happened in just one place, it might be an accident. But now that odd events are happening in many places, it’s not that simple."

Moreover, Ziyunfei and Yan Hong haven’t exited Seven Days Tower. How could they be stuck under Bao Xue and Heng Zhan?"

Speaking of this, Shui Linxing couldn’t help but reveal a strange smile.

"Maybe they’re waiting for Ziyunfei and Yan Hong, maybe not!"

Ao Cangsheng said casually.

"You can’t wait that long, can you? Besides, why stay in the Seven Days Tower when they leave?"

Leng Shui was a bit abrupt.

Thus, after asking, Ao Kangsheng was left speechless again.

"Of course, if we change our thinking, maybe we can explain it."

Shui Ling took another sip of tea.

"What kind of thinking?"

Ao Kangsheng wanted a good method.

Shui Lingleng said, "Ziyunfei and Yan Hong encountered you and had a fierce battle with you."

"But in the end, they were defeated by you. Then you could care for your injuries and exit Seven Days Tower together."

"Before that, you climbed to the ninth floor of Seven Days Tower. Do you think so?"

Upon hearing Shui Linggen’s reasoning, Ao Cangsheng was greatly shocked.

Although Shui Linxing was merely reasoning, his reasoning was almost parallel to Ao Cangsheng’s own, which truly surprised him.

"So many people entered Seven Days Tower. Why does the director think it’s me who climbed the ninth floor?"

It was hard to argue with Leng Shui, and Ao Cangsheng wanted to resist fiercely, refusing to admit.

"Because no one else ever caused me trouble time and again!"

Shui Ling smiled gently.

At this moment, Ao Cangsheng’s calm demeanor was gone.

He thought, according to his plan, after killing Ziyunfei and others, this time entering Seven Days Tower would be the end.

But he couldn’t understand how Shui Linggen knew someone was on the ninth floor. Was it surely him?

"Dean, I don’t understand at all. Can you explain to me?"

After being silent for a long time, Ao Cangsheng suddenly asked Shui Linhan.

"What do you mean?"

Shui was calm, yet his expression was kind.

"How do you know someone is on the ninth floor of Seven Days Tower?"

Ao Kangsheng finally asked the deeply buried question.

Shui Linghan couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, "This question is truly interesting. How do I know someone ascended the ninth floor?"

"To be honest, not only do I know this, now probably everyone in Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School knows."

"Why?"

Cangsheng frowned, becoming even more puzzled.

Shui Ling said, "You may not know. If someone climbs the sixth layer or beyond, the Qi Tian Bell at the top of Qi Tian Tower will ring.

"Seven rings for the seventh floor, eight for the eighth, and nine for the ninth."

"Since Qi Tian Tower was built, the Qi Tian Bell has rung hundreds of times."

"Even so, each time the bell rings, it ultimately only rings seven times."

"In other words, since Qi Tian Tower was constructed, no one has ever climbed past the seventh layer."

"But this time, it’s different; someone did ascend, ultimately reaching the ninth floor of Seven Days Tower."

"Such news, from the moment the bell rang, has been regarded as a Miracle by everyone."

"I understand now!"

After listening to Shui Linggen’s explanation, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but laugh, nodding.

He thought that aside from the person who ascended the ninth floor, no one else would know.

Unexpectedly, there was such a secret.

"Fine. Even if you refuse to admit going to the ninth floor, it doesn’t matter. My reason for looking for you is not because of this."

"I just wanted to tell you, from now on, even if you don’t climb Seven Days Tower, you will be seen as a thorn by certain people. You better get rid of it quickly!"

Shui Linghan laughed, his eyes not as deep and sharp as before.

"Why?"

Ao Cangsheng was curious.

"Because this time someone went to the ninth floor, and nobody knows who that person is."

"So, those ambitious noble families will definitely target all those who emerged from Qi Tian Tower for elimination."

Though Shui Linggen smiled, his words were chilling.

Upon hearing this, Ao Cangsheng’s expression turned serious.

Thinking carefully about it, Shui was indeed correct.

Since Ziyunfei and others are dead, those fearful of it will find those who exit Seven Days Tower.

Even if these people can’t reach the ninth floor, they’ll find a way to eliminate this hidden danger.

As the saying goes, there is no invincible talent in the world, only an invincible heart.

At such an age, he would laugh.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that over 20 days have passed. How could Ziyunfei and others not exit Seven Days Tower?

With their strength, even if they’re defeated, it wouldn’t take so long.

Now, Shui Ling understood—those killed by Ao Cangsheng couldn’t exit Seven Days Tower.

Meanwhile, Shui Linggen was also astonished. With Ao Cangsheng and others’ strength, how did they kill Ziyunfei and the others?

You know, Ziyunfei and Yan Hong’s achievements at Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School were top-notch.

Killing them must have been very difficult.

But now that the people are dead, there’s no need to ask further.

After a long pause, he said, "If that’s the case, you should pay more attention to safety during this period."

"Although I can secretly protect you, there are too many enemies and too cunning; I might not be able to protect you completely."

Ao Kangsheng nodded, "I understand."

"And one more thing. The fewer people who know you, the better!"
