Chapter 201 Hekasa the Spirit Binder, A Test from the Veil of Izanagi
Unbeknownst to him, Zu Qingyun had already spent more than half a month at the Alps Academy.
During this time, the young Duke Hecasa was imprisoned alone in one place for more than half an hour because his strength was inferior to Zu Qingyun's.
After discovering that Zu Qingyun's identity was highly sensitive, he secretly plotted to poison Zu Qingyun and then pin the blame on Alps Academy.
Of course, he didn't make a fuss about it; he just noted it down in his mental notebook.
Inside the cafeteria, Zu Qingyun leisurely sipped juice and ate cooked bear paws.
“Heidi, bear paws are a delicacy. Even I have a hard time getting them back home. Eat more, it’s free anyway.”
As Zu Qingyun said this, he waved his hand to signal the kitchen to bring over two more bear paws.
Perry: (⊙﹏⊙)
The attendants here glanced at Zu Qingyun, and then at Dean Perry, who was sitting not far away eating vegetarian food.
"Go and make it for him."
Although Perry cursed Zu Qingyun a thousand times in her heart, it was all something she had promised him, so...
"Qingyun, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
After becoming familiar with Zu Qingyun, Heidi also started to say one thing and mean another.
Although she said she didn't want it, after finishing her bear paw, her eyes were now fixed on Zu Qingyun's plate.
"Don't worry, I had the dean buy a lot of bear paws from outside."
At this point, Zu Qingyun paused for a moment, then turned to look at Perry sitting not far away.
"Dean, I want to eat braised lion's head meatballs tomorrow. Don't forget to tell the kitchen to go and get them tonight."
As Zu Qingyun left the cafeteria, he gave Hecasa a disdainful look.
At midnight, Zu Qingyun summoned out the "soul-snatching ghost, Miyata," who was behind the Nine Netherworlds.
"Wake people up to work in the middle of the night, could it be that you want to do something with your sister that you can't tell outsiders?" Even though Jiuyouhou had no physical form, she still couldn't resist teasing Zu Qingyun a bit.
"Well, I do have a personal matter I need you to do for me today. Sister Jiuyou, go and torture a super-level mage named Hecasa to the point of mental breakdown, and then Miyata will go and retrieve his soul."
Zu Qingyun's words were concise and to the point, and both Jiuyouhou and Gongtian indicated that there was no problem.
With his current strength, Miyata can easily steal the soul of a high-ranking non-psychic mage, but it would be more difficult if it were a psychic mage.
This is also why Zu Qingyun had Jiuyou go and torture Hecasa to the point of mental breakdown.
Before long, Miyata brought over the extremely weak soul of the young Duke Hecasa.
Although he was in a soul state at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
"Tsk, as expected of Sister Jiuyou, her efficiency is really fast. But you guys shouldn't have left anything behind, right?"
Upon hearing Zu Qingyun's words, Jiuyouhou rolled her eyes at him.
"Don't worry, those people will only notice that he has been in a coma, they won't see anything else unusual."
At that moment, Miyata also spoke up.
"Master, please rest assured. Before bringing his soul back, Lord Jiuyou and I had already examined his body." A few days later, news spread that the young Duke Hecasa had fallen into a coma for unknown reasons, which directly enraged the Kasa family, who issued a very expensive kill order.
"Qingyun, do you know about Hecasa's coma? I heard that his family members have come to the academy to demand an explanation."
Although Heidi didn't have a good impression of the philandering Duke Hecasa, the fact that he had inexplicably fallen into a coma was indeed very strange.
After all, she had heard that Hecasa had no wounds found on his body and no mental abnormalities were found. After trying many treatments without success, she contacted the Parthenon directly.
"It shouldn't be. When I arrived, I saw that woman, Yizhi Sha, was here too. They should be having Yizhi Sha check on her health right now."
Zu Qingyun had already guessed that Yi Zhisha would come. To be on the safe side, he handed the wooden fish vessel containing Hecasa's soul to Jiuyou and then told her to go to Shayuan to avoid trouble.
The Parthenon has a deep understanding of white magic, so Zu Qingyun didn't want to take that risk.
"The goddess Yizhi Sha who was just resurrected not long ago? Judging from your tone, you don't actually know her."
Heidi, however, felt a surge of curiosity.
"Yes, I saw her when I went to the Parthenon before, but this woman is too cunning. I was dragged here by the Holy Inquisition this time because of her."
Hearing this, Heidi finally understood why Zu Qingyun disliked her so much.
In the afternoon, at the Pantheon.
"After deliberation by the Institute of Heresy and the Holy Tribunal, it cannot be proven that Zu Qingyun is the demon who wreaked havoc on the Parthenon. Therefore, Zu Qingyun is found innocent."
Hearing the other party declare their innocence, Zu Qingyun felt a mix of emotions, a mix of anger and frustration that he didn't know whether to utter or not.
"I didn't expect it to be just as you said, that you're just here to go through the motions." Heidi, who had been waiting for a long time, said as Zu Qingyun stepped out of the Pantheon.
Seeing that she had actually come to the summit to wait for him, Zu Qingyun felt a mischievous urge.
"Tsk, I didn't expect you to come all the way to this freezing cold place to wait for me because you were worried about a little kid like me."
However, Heidi reluctantly stepped aside in response to Zu Qingyun's words, revealing Blanche standing behind her.
"Don't look at me like that. Recently, the Casa family suspects that you were behind the assassination of the young Duke Hecasa, so I came here."
But before Zu Qingyun could even speak, he heard Yi Zhisha's voice.
"I never expected to meet you here, little Zu Qingyun."
Upon hearing her words, a hint of doubt appeared in Zu Qingyun's eyes.
"Goddess Yizhisha, although I came here because of the demons that wreaked havoc in Athens, you don't seem to have seen me before, do you?" Zu Qingyun pretended to be puzzled, while Yizhisha seemed to have a hint of resentment in her eyes after seeing his puzzled expression.
"Hehe, you're the only one in history to have successfully traversed the Star River Mountain Path. How could I not recognize you?"
Zu Qingyun's watertight answer made Yi Zhisha feel somewhat displeased.
"Alright, Goddess Yizhisha, by seniority I should call you aunt. I've heard about what happened back then, but it seems you haven't gotten what you wanted since your resurrection." Zu Qingyun's words were transmitted to her through mind magic.
