The Moon is Beautiful Tonight (1)
Lu Miao's eyebrows twitched. She put down her homework and stood up. She opened the balcony door and walked out.
With a slight movement of her fingertips, she parted the black clouds in the night sky.
She saw that a second formation was slowly taking shape outside the Seven Kill Formation above her head.
From time to time, white light would rise from different directions in the city and fill in the gaps in the formation.
Unlike the incomplete Seven Kill Formation, this was a complete Tiger Subduing Formation.
Although it was not as lethal as the Seven Kill Formation, because the formation was complete, its effect was far stronger than the previous blood curse.
Once it was completely formed, with the combination of the two formations, even if she could break it, she would have to pay a considerable price.
Lu Miao sighed. Setting up a formation was the same as breaking a formation. Many of the magic tools needed were priceless.
The manpower, resources, and financial resources needed to set up a formation in a place like Luo City where the powerful and wealthy gathered were definitely not something that ordinary people could do.
The branch families of the Gu family did not have the ability to do so.
She was really curious about who was behind this.
What did Gu Shiyan do to attract so much hatred?
The Tiger Subduing Formation was more than half completed. Lu Miao flipped over and went to the roof.
She tapped the bracelet on her wrist lightly, and the bracelet instantly turned into a rectangular box shape.
She took out a string of copper bells and a token.
She threw the token in different directions of the Tiger Subduing Formation, placing it in the middle.
Then, she sat cross-legged on the ground and quickly formed a few hand seals in front of her.
The copper bell instantly moved without any wind, emitting a crisp sound.
The black clouds in the night sky kept rolling and gathering.
With a rumble, a loud thunder sounded, followed by a bolt of lightning streaking across the night sky.
The formation that was taking shape in the night sky was instantly scattered by half.
The other party did not show any weakness. Light rays continuously rose from different directions, quickly repairing the formation that had been scattered earlier.
Lu Miao formed a seal with one hand and took out a Canopy Ruler from the box with the other. She hacked at the formation in the night sky.
Downstairs.
Gu Shiyan stood on the balcony of the room, his expression calm as he watched the increasingly intense lightning flashing across the night sky.
The various colors of lightning intertwined, almost consciously covering the entire sky above the Gu family.
The huge thunderous sound shook the entire house.
As if it wanted to destroy the world.
It lasted for about five minutes before it dissipated.
Just like when the thunder suddenly sounded, everything disappeared without any warning.
The tranquility of the night outside the window was restored once again.
The clouds in the night sky had dissipated, a bright crescent moon hanging on the branches. One could faintly see the scattered stars on the distant horizon.
Everything was beautiful as if everything that had happened before was just his illusion.
The shadow of the eaves covered most of his face and hid the expression in his eyes.
No one could guess what he was thinking at that moment.
Just as he was about to turn around and return to his room, he suddenly saw a black shadow fall from the roof from the corner of his eye.
He turned around and saw Lu Miao landing lightly on the balcony of the room next door.
The two of them looked at each other.
Lu Miao froze. Damn, she was too careless!
Gu Shiyan raised his eyebrows and looked up at the roof that was at least ten meters away from their balcony. He then looked at Lu Miao.
"You…"
Lu Miao's face was neither red nor out of breath. " I had nothing better to do, so I came out to look at the moon. "
A smile flashed across Gu Shiyan's eyes. He did not expose her and nodded. " Yes, the moon is very beautiful tonight. "
"Then take your time."
Lu Miao turned around and returned to her room as if nothing had happened.
Gu Shiyan looked at the empty balcony opposite him for a moment before raising his head to look at the night sky above his head again.
Downstairs, the servants passing through the garden were discussing the strange lightning and thunder in a low voice, clearly proving to him that everything just now was not an illusion.
He took out his phone and checked the weather forecast. It was sunny in Luo City, and the temperature at night was 20 degrees Celsius.
He scrolled through the forecast for the next week, and every day was predicted to be clear as well.
Putting away his phone, he couldn't help but think back to what had just happened. Was it really just a normal weather change?
He thought about the little friend who had jumped down from ten meters above with such ease and precision. The skill was far beyond what even Tang Mochen, who had undergone special training for years, could do. Where had she learned such things?
Realizing what he was thinking, Gu Shiyan lowered his eyes and laughed softly.
Lu Miao seemed to have a kind of magic that lured him to explore.
And she had no intention of telling him.
However, that was not important.
If she didn't want to tell him, he wouldn't ask.
On the top of a mountain somewhere in Luo City.
The four middle-aged men's faces were all sallow, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths as they fell to the ground.
The magic tools in front of them were all black, as if they had been blown up by something and had been completely destroyed.
One of them raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the middle-aged man in a black robe beside him. " Big Brother, what should we do now? All the magic tools have been destroyed. Do you want to try again?"
The man's expression was extremely ugly. " The Gu family must have found a very powerful master. Tell Master that we must find and get rid of him!
Otherwise, as long as he is alive, our plan will never succeed."
The Gu family was really lucky. Today, when the metaphysics masters were almost extinct, they were actually able to find them and even promised to help them.
He wanted to see just where this expert came from.
..
When Lu Miao went downstairs for breakfast the next morning, Gu Shiyan had left again.
In the following week, the news that Lu Miao had donated a building to enter Year Three spread everywhere in school.
Her report card from when she was in the countryside was also exposed. Her single-digit scores in all subjects were particularly eye-catching.
At the same time, Lu Siyu's identity as the special prize winner of the Mathematical Olympiad competition was exposed on the forum, which once again pulled back some good feelings for her.
Lu Miao did not say anything to explain.
She sneaked out a few times at night and found the place where the other party had set up the formation.
The plantation around the mountain peak had been charred by lightning. Other than that, there were no other useful clues left behind.
Lu Miao hacked into the surrounding surveillance system to retrieve the surveillance records of that night.
However, she realized that all the surveillance images had been deleted long ago. It was obvious that they had been prepared.
However, what surprised her was that she encountered another person when she hacked into the monitoring system by bypassing the firewall.
That person's strength was quite good. After the two of them fought, the surveillance system could not withstand the attack load from both sides and collapsed.
Rarely did she come across an opponent of similar strength, and Landy couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
The one-week military training for the freshmen soon ended.
The opening ceremony was finally about to begin. The first afternoon, Lu Siyu finished writing the script for her speech on stage. After repeatedly revising it, she took the initiative to look for their homeroom teacher with the script.
