Chapter 720

Staying at the You House
Translated by Crystal of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Two days later, the news that Thunderclap Academy’s archives had been broken into spread.

Although all of the files were intact and none were lost, the fact that it got broken into without anyone noticing, was enough for the leaders of the Academy to lose face, thus they went all out on the investigation.

When Qiao Sen heard of the news, a thought passed through his head, although he was quick to deny it. He admit that those two was really strong, but he knew what kind of a place the Thunderclap Academy was, and it was the archives at that. Even if they were strong, they couldn’t have fooled those old foxes. However, to prove that they hadn’t left the base that night, Qiao Sen looked into it and discovered that they never left, thus it clearly wasn’t them. Then, he called the two over.

There was a knock on the door, and he said, “Enter.”

You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao came in one after another, the first immediately asking, “Leader, what did you call us here for?”

Qiao Sen signalled them to sit down and then said, “I have a mission for you two.”

“Just us?” You XiaoMo asked in surprise.

Qiao Sen pulled out a file from his desk and handed it over, “No, the mission this time is pretty broad so there we need to split into teams and you’re one of them. The information is all here, you’ll know once you read it.”

You XiaoMo flipped through and he became so excited that he almost jumped out of his chair.

Ling Xiao took the files over and said with his brows raised, “You want us to protect the You Family in JinDu?”

“Correct.” Qiao Sen nodded, “You guys probably heard of the conflict between the You Family and the Li Family. Something happened half a year ago and the disagreement blew up causing a life and death fight between the families. They almost went at it in Jindu, which would’ve destroyed it…”

Both the Li and You Family were top families in the country and most importantly, they both had high level mages. Although the mages from the Li Family weren’t on par with the You Family, they still had a lot of followers. No families in Jindu wanted either to be destroyed and in turn break the power balance of the country.

During this half a year, the old families tried to mitigate the problem multiple times. Finally, both families agreed to talk, thus this meeting was crucial, no one wanted anything to happen. Thus, an order was sent for them to protect the Li and You family members until they arrived at the meeting, making this an incredibly important mission.

“Now I can openly get in touch with them!” Once they got back to their rooms, You XiaoMo told Ling Xiao excitedly. He had been worried about how to get close to them, but now that was not a problem anymore.

Ling Xiao was flipping through the files when he heard You XiaoMo’s comment and said, “Don’t get too excited, we need to figure out the beginning of this whole mess first.”

“What is there to find? It’s definitely the Li Family who got jealous of the You Family and did something shady. I know You Bo and You Lu’s personality, unless someone provoked them first, they wouldn’t be bothered with those kinds of people.” You XiaoMo said with confidence.

Ling Xiao looked at him with a raised brow in surprise, “You know them quite well, huh?”

You XiaoMo subconsciously felt guilty, even though he didn’t know what he was feeling guilty about and instantly replied awkwardly, “We…we are brothers and you know, we lived together for many years, so knowing them is normal.”
