Coming out of the courtyard, Huang Quan had no intention of following Nangong Mian.
Qin Qianqian had just died, and it would take some time for the Qin family to receive the news. It was too early to go there now.
As she left the courtyard, Huang Quan planned to wander around a bit, and then go find Nangong Mian when the time was right.
The Imperial Academy occupied a vast area. The place where Huang Quan and Nangong Mian resided was tucked away in one corner. The environment here was tranquil and elegant. It was unusual for both Huang Quan and Nangong Mian to live here. Nangong Mian’s teacher had taken pity on him, which was why this courtyard was allocated for them.
Apart from Huang Quan and Nangong Mian, there were a few other courtyards here, but due to the distance from the classroom and the construction of another living area on the other side, all the other courtyards here were vacant.
Huang Quan’s courtyard was situated in the innermost part, and there were two or three courtyards in front of it. As she passed by one of the courtyards, Huang Quan stopped and looked at the sky above it.
A dense black mist covered the area above the courtyard, and that black mist was none other than deathly energy!
A towering deathly energy!
Staring at the courtyard in front of her, Huang Quan was puzzled. There was no deathly energy here when she and Third Brother had returned. How could such strong deathly energy suddenly appear after a while?
And wasn’t this area supposed to be uninhabited?
If there were no residents, how could there be deathly energy?
In general, deathly energy would only appear under two circumstances. The first was in the underworld, the realm of the dead, or in places with immense death and suffering. It was normal for these places to possess deathly energy. Areas with an abundance of death would naturally emit deathly energy. Apart from these situations, there was only one other circumstance where deathly energy would appear.
That was when someone was gravely ill, near death, and their life force was fading away. However, even if there was deathly energy in this case, it was very faint and couldn’t possibly be as strong as the deathly energy lingering above this courtyard.
Seeing the continuous spread of the black fog, Huang Quan raised an eyebrow in confusion. Has the entrance to the underworld opened here? With such intense deathly energy, if someone entered this area, they would likely have half their normal lifespan cut short due to the suffocating aura.
Normal people couldn’t see deathly energy, and even if they could, they would have long fled in terror. But Huang Quan wasn’t an ordinary person. She wasn’t afraid. In fact, she was excited!
She had been worrying about where to find a source of deathly energy to suppress her lifeforce energy, but here it was, voluntarily presented to her!
Thinking of this, Huang Quan no longer hesitated. She took a few steps forward, pushed open the tightly closed courtyard gate, and was engulfed by the black mist. Deathly energy rushed toward her from all directions.
Reaching the source of the deathly energy, which was a room, Huang Quan didn’t even need to enter. She sensed the faint breathing of someone inside.
A dying person?
What kind of person could emit so much deathly energy when dying?
Full of curiosity, Huang Quan directly pushed open the door. As soon as the door opened, all the deathly energy from inside the room rushed toward her. Seeing this deathly energy coming toward her, Huang Quan was overjoyed because she didn’t need to worry about her lifeforce energy going out of control anymore.
