"That’s right, we’re working with the Vice Dean to spread the news, making sure to lure the Zongzheng and Han families in!" The Three Elders agreed for once.
"Alright, I’ll leave it to you then!" Nangong Lanfeng responded with a slight smile.

The decision made by Dean Nangong Lanfeng and the others was discovered immediately by Veteran Scholar, who raised an eyebrow at Mo Jiuli and asked, "Disciple, did you go and threaten the Dean?"
"No, I just negotiated terms with the Dean, but the poison in the Dean’s body is strange, do you know who might have done this?" Mo Jiuli asked Veteran Scholar, thinking of something.
"Lili, wasn’t it you who poisoned him?" Di Minghan asked Mo Jiuli in surprise; he had always thought that the poison in Dean Nangong Lanfeng’s body was placed by his own Jiuli, but it turns out it wasn’t.
"No, originally I intended to poison him, but when I went to check, he was already poisoned..." Mo Jiuli explained calmly.
"Wasn’t it said that the Dean was poisoned a year ago?" Veteran Scholar also asked in slight surprise.
"At least a year, the exact timing I haven’t carefully determined, I can’t say for sure..." Mo Jiuli thought for a moment and said.
"That’s puzzling, the Dean rarely leaves the Academy, staying inside almost all the time, yet he still got poisoned?" Veteran Scholar asked in bewilderment.
"Does he have no enemies? As I said, the oddity about the Dean’s poison is that to administer the chronic poison into his body, one must appear by his side at least five times in succession! The poison’s lethal aspect is not about wanting the Dean dead, but to completely disable his cultivation base. If untreated, in three years, the Dean’s cultivation will entirely vanish..." Mo Jiuli said, looking at Veteran Scholar.
"Appearing before the Dean five times, there are too many possibilities, since the Dean rarely leaves the Academy, outsiders may not encounter him; but, everyone inside the Academy can, from elders and vice-deans to Academy’s disciples, except freshmen, anyone who has business can go directly to the Dean..." Veteran Scholar said.
"Then there’s no way, unless the Dean himself remembers who showed up frequently when he was poisoned!" Mo Jiuli said indifferently.
"I’ll call him over in a few days, you can give him a thorough examination and ask him properly..." Veteran Scholar thought for a moment and said.
"Okay." Mo Jiuli glanced at her Master and said, although she wanted to say she could cure the poison without dwelling too much, it seemed her Master had a good relationship with Dean Nangong, so she decided to go along with it.
In the following days, Mo Jiuli and Di Minghan stayed in the small courtyard, Mo Jiuli spent time cooking while Di Minghan handled the frequent provocations brought by Guardian Hua, Han Yu, and others, passing their time smoothly...
One evening, Veteran Scholar gathered Mo Jiuli, Di Minghan and others to the Library’s third floor, and addressed the group: "You are all aware of the news outside, today I’m going to tell you about Cloud Underworld’s Secret Realm!"
"Master, this Cloud Underworld’s Secret Realm is likely purposely opened by Dean Nangong, isn’t it?" Mo Jiuli asked Veteran Scholar.
"Yes, the Cloud Underworld Secret Realm was established by Xuanyuan Yunfeng, the first Dean of Yuhai Academy on Cloud Peak, creating a shifting space,
