Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 331 Emergency Mission!

Tang Li Xue was stunned for a few moments after she heard Instructor Mei Lanʼs words.

ʼSigh... Why the heck is it like this?! Here I thought I could lead a fulfilling life like the main characters from the Xianxia novels in my previous life. Become an immortal hero by exterminating evil and upholding justice.ʼ Tang Li Xue complained in her mind.

ʼBut... who is evil and who is right?! I do not even know what justice is anymore?! There is no black or white in this world... Everything... is gray here.ʼ Tang Li Xue sighed in resignation as she followed Instructor Mei Lan from behind with a depressed mood.

ʼBut there is only one truth that I managed to know from all of these... Only someone with enough strength has the right to determine their own fate. In the end, everything still depends on the individual strength to achieve it.ʼ Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.

.....

...

.

When Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue arrived at the other mansion, the task was given by Instructor Mei Lan to Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao was already half done.

With Hei Yinghao took the vanguard position, while Bing Yi took the rearguard position, the two of them easily killed every guard on the courtyard and forcefully broke into the mansion.

In fact, they were doing it so easily without any difficulty since they finally could use their divine abilities to fight.

Both of them currently already killed many of the guards inside the mansion.

With Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue came to help them, the task to ʼcleanʼ this mansion was finished in only one or two minutes.

Just like in the first mansion, the remains of the Lin Family were hiding in the secret underground room below the mansion.

After Instructor Mei Lan and the others slew every living people on the first and second floor of the mansion, all of them were heading toward the secret underground room.

This time Instructor Mei Lan decided to not immediately kill all the people here.

It was clearly not because she felt pity or sorry for them, but because she wanted to ask about the copies of the half Ancient Martial Art Manual and if there were still the other remains of Lin Family alive somewhere else.

Of course, Instructor Mei Lan used her [Heavenly Sound] divine ability, the [Second Song: Hypnosis Melody] to them, so they would not be able to choose to stay mum or tell any lie to her.

These remains of the Lin Family told Instructor Mei Lan that there were only two copies of the half Ancient Martial Art Manual.

One of the copies was with them, and the other one was with the Lin Family at the other mansion.

Of course, Instructor Mei Lan already retrieved both of them and destroyed them. She only wanted to know if these people made more copies of this half Ancient Martial Art Manual without Patriarch Linʼs knowledge.

As for the other people of the Lin Family other than them, there was actually still a few left.

But they were not here because they could not come back to defend their home or have gone missing for some reason.

For example, some younger generations of the Lin Family were the core disciples of virtuous sects. They were in closed-door cultivation to break through to a higher stage, so they were not allowed to get out by their masters.

Some elders of the Lin Family were even trapped in the closed space somewhere and waiting to be rescued, but the Lin Family could not send any help because they were facing the predicament against Lizard Clan too.

There were also several other cases like this, but it was truly too troublesome for Instructor Mei Lan to hunt them one by one in those kinds of situations.

After extracted all the information she needs from them, Instructor Mei Lan decided to mercilessly slay all of them regardless of their age or gender just like before.

Instructor Mei Lan glanced at the absentminded Tang Li Xue and her other students, then said: ”Letʼs get out from here now and do not forget to burn everything down, so we will not accidentally leave any clue or trace behind!”

Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao nodded to Instructor Mei Lan and followed her to get out of this mansion.

/p>

Tang Li Xue also woke up from her daze and nodded at Instructor Mei Lan with a solemn expression.

Tang Li Xue waved her palm around to burn everything around her with her Flame of Pride, but Instructor Mei Lan immediately stopped her before she did that.

”Your deep-blue flame is too eye-catching, so it would be easy for the other people to track it back to you later if you used it again in front of the others. It would be better if we use the ordinary flame to burn everything.” Instructor Mei Lan explained to Tang Li Xue.

”Oh, that is right... I am sorry, Instructor Lan.” Tang Li Xue put out her deep-blue flame of pride and apologized.

”Itʼs all right. All of you must remember... There is no such a thing as being too careful! Because being more careful would not hurt you, it will not only save your own life but also save all of your comradesʼ lives. Sometimes even a tiny mistake could make you and all of your comrades lost your lives.” Instructor Mei Lan gave another piece of important advice to her students.

Instructor Mei Lan lighted the fire with Tang Li Xue and the others, they started burning the Lin Familyʼs two mansions and their courtyards with that fire.

The fire was spreading very fast with the help of Instructor Mei Lanʼs divine abilities.

Even Tang Li Xue and the others did not get how Instructor Mei Lan did it, but the fire was consuming the two mansions and their courtyards really fast.

When Instructor Mei Lan, Tang Li Xue, and the others already went out of that mansion, the fire was already spreading everywhere, and it made many residents of Changwei Town wake up from their sleep.

Those residents of Changwei Town started shouting and screaming in panic.

The situation at the center of Changwei Town became very chaotic at that instant.

Tang Li Xue threw her [Talisman of Stealthy +2] to Instructor Mei Lan, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao to make them turned invisible, then she activated her [Ethereal Form] to turn herself invisible too.

Different from Tang Li Xueʼs [Ethereal Form] divine ability, the [Talisman of Stealthy +2] only made the user much harder to notice than usual, but it was already more than enough to make them go out from the Changwei Town unnoticed by anyone here.

Actually, Instructor Mei Lan, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao could still easily slip out of Changwei Town without being noticed by anyone even without using Tang Li Xueʼs [Talisman of Stealthy +2] because the situation at the center of Changwei Town was very chaotic right now with so many people ran back and forth while carrying some buckets of water to put down the raging fire.

But of course, just like what Instructor Mei Lan had said to Tang Li Xue and the others before: ʼBeing more careful would not hurt you, it will not only save your own life but also save all of your comradesʼ lives.ʼ

Changwei Town was not a big town after all, so Instructor Mei Lan and her students only need to sprint for ten minutes or so to run out from Changwei Town and entered the nearby forest.

It did not take long for them to distance themselves from Changwei Town and took out their Wind Riding Birds from their space pouches.

”Instructor Lan, is it all right to leave just like that? What if those citizens managed to put out the flame?” Bing Yi asked Instructor Mei Lan with a curious tone.

Tang Li Xue already canceled her [Ethereal Form] divine ability and took out her white-colored Wind Riding Bird from her space pouch too, but she curiously glanced over at Instructor Mei Lan to know the answer to Bing Yiʼs question.

Instructor Mei Lan chuckled and replied: ”Donʼt worry. The flame is already grown so big. They would at least need to work hard until dawn before they could manage to put out that flame. At that time, almost everything in those two mansions would already turn into ashes.”

Bing Yi, Tang Li Xue, and Hei Yinghao nodded in understanding after they heard Instructor Mei Lanʼs reply.

All of them rode their own respective Wind Riding Bird, and the bird brought them soaring into the sky.

”Sigh… Finally, we can go back to Myriad Foxes Academy. I am quite tired mentally because of this mission. I want to take eat many delicious foods, take a clean bath, and sleep tightly on my soft bed.” Tang Li Xue complained while she also took this time to summon Yaya and Little Loki out from her systemʼs pet storage again.

”Ya! Yayaya~!!!”

”Nya~! Nya Nya… Meow~!!!”

It seems both Yaya and Little Loki have sulked because Tang Li Xue suddenly stored them in that place, so they immediately grumbled to Tang Li Xue when she took them out.

Instructor Mei Lan sneered mockingly at Tang Li Xueʼs statement, and she lazily said: ”Who said we will come back to Myriad Foxes Academy right now?”

/p>

Tang Li Xue: ”Eh? Ehhhh?! What?!”

Bing Yi: ”Really? Where are we going now?”

Hei Yinghao: ”Instructor Lan, what do you mean?”

Tang Li Xue and the others exclaimed in shock and bewilderment.

Instructor Mei Lan giggled at their chain reaction and explained: ”I also planned to return to Myriad Foxes Academy after this mission at first. But I suddenly got an emergency mission from mission hall last night.”

”E… Emergency Mission?!” Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao shouted in surprise at the same time.

”Yep! Surprisingly, it is even an A-grade emergency mission! So you better prepare yourself!” Instructor Mei Lan said as she giggled happily at their misfortune.
