Even the real Tang Li Xue started to feel hesitant and pondered her next action carefully.

"Tell us what happened there in more detail to us." Instructor Mei Lan instantly knew in a single glance from Tang Li Xue's current expression that she was in a dilemma right now, so she decided to ask about it.

Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao also stared at Tang Li Xue with a pair of eyes filled with curiosity and worry.

In fact, Instructor Mei Lan and the others could no longer see what happened there anymore right now because the location of the night banquet had already been completely covered by the cage of light.

"Instructor Lan…" Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth in anxiousness and started to tell what happened inside the cage of light without missing any single detail.

Instructor Mei Lan frowned deeply after she heard all of the information from Tang Li Xue and muttered: "I never think that they will go that far to find the serial killer. It seems they are really anxious this time."

After pondering it carefully for a while, Instructor Mei Lan's eyes suddenly brightened a lot and said: "Ah, that is right! It is already 'that' time! I see... So, that is why they anxiously wanted to find the serial killer and complete their mission as soon as possible."

"Th... 'That'?! What is 'that'?! They have something more important to do after this mission?!" Hei Yinghao asked with a curious tone.

"Yes! It almost the time for Inheritance Ground Tablet to open." Instructor Mei Lan nodded while replied to Hei Yinghao.

This time, it was Bing Yi who got curious and asked: "Inheritance Ground Tablet?! What is that? Is that the place's name or a treasure's name? But Instructor Lan said open… So, it should the name of a place, right? Can we get something good from there?"

Instructor Mei Lan shook her head and answered Bing Yi's question: "It is a separated pocket dimension. There are so many good things inside there, but we, Beast Race, could not learn martial arts, so we cannot enter there. Except if…"

Instructor Mei Lan halted her words while glanced at Tang Li Xue.

Instructor Mei Lan thought that Tang Li Xue already have a martial soul, so she could probably learn martial arts too, right?

Even if Tang Li Xue could not learn any martial arts yet, but she could still copy it with her [Mirror of the Moon] divine ability, right?

However, Instructor Mei Lan was still only half-sure if Tang Li Xue could really enter Inheritance Ground Tablet with copied martial arts.

Also, Foxes Hunting Festival was only less than two months away from now.

Even though there were so many good things at Inheritance Ground Tablet, but how could it be compared to the Foxes Hunting Festival that would be participated by all the foxes under the Spirit Beast Rank in Immortal World!

The difference in scale between Inheritance Ground Tablet and Foxes Hunting Festival was just too large, just like the unknown local competition and the grandest world-level tournament.

But then again, Tang Li Xue's strength was still too low right now, if her strength did not make a lot more progress than her current self, she would be destined to not be able to gain much from the fierce competition in Foxes Hunting Festival where all kinds of terrifying genius foxes would participate.

Instructor Mei Lan wanted to let Tang Li Xue and the others participate in Foxes Hunting Festival for the first time to open their eyes and see all geniuses from the other branches of Myriad Foxes Academy from the other continents to suppress their self-satisfaction and arrogance but, of course, she also did not want them to fail too early since it would be too embarrassing for her as their instructor.

"Let's forget about that for now and focus on our current mission first. We will discuss that after we managed to complete this mission later." Instructor Mei Lan said to her three students.

"Ummm… Instructor Lan, should my perfect copy drink that special wine or not? Is there some chance that special wine is only a bluff to scare the serial killer so she would expose herself? Or… maybe I should just make my perfect copy retreat by unsummoning it?" Tang Li Xue asked Instructor Mei Lan with a tone filled with anxiousness.

Instructor Mei Lan pondered carefully for a few moments before replied: "It would be better if you can make your perfect clone avoid drinking it. Looking at their effort and the sacrifice they have been made, the chance of that Elder Yang to only bluffing is really infinitesimal."

"The clearest evidence of this is that even your perfect clone cannot detect anything wrong with that special wine. If they really want to bluff the serial killer, at least they would need to make that the serial killer could detect something strange contained in that special wine, right? The reason why you cannot sense anything strange in that special wine means that they do their best to not let anyone sense or realize about what is contained inside the special wine." Instructor Mei Lan once again showed her terrifying deduction to her students.

Tang Li Xue nodded in realization and replied: "I understand! But… what should my perfect copy do right now? It seems they force everyone inside the cage of light to drink it without any exception!"

Instructor Mei Lan giggled gently when she heard Tang Li Xue's words, and a trace of mischievousness shone from her eyes.

Tang Li Xue and the other shuddered in fright when they saw Instructor Mei Lan acted like this.

"That is easy! You only need to blatantly refuse to drink it." Instructor Mei Lan replied with a nonchalant tone.

"Wh… What?! How can it be that easy?! Instructor Lan, please stop joking with me! They already killed every single person who dares to refuse to drink it already without any mercy!" Tang Li Xue widened her eyes and answered in disbelief.

Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes and gave some hints to Tang Li Xue: "Stupid! The identity of your perfect clone is different from the real you. Don't tell me that you really forget who invite your clone to Imperial Palace and the banquet tonight?!"

Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes shone brighter like a pair of stars and laughed free of worry right now after she heard Instructor Mei Lan's words and, she said without thinking: "That is right! I am really so stupid! How could I not even realize this yet?! Ais... Instructor Lan, you are really the true genius!"

Instructor Mei Lan also smiled at Tang Li Xue. She became even fonder at Tang Li Xue since Tang Li Xue managed to decipher her advice with only a few hints, so she decided to add a few more suggestions for Tang Li Xue: "Actually, you do not need to refuse to drink the special wine so blatantly. You only need to say that you will only drink it after everyone there drank it. It is not difficult, right?"

Tang Li Xue nodded at Instructor Mei Lan and told it to her perfect copy.

…..

…

.

Meanwhile, at the night banquet inside the cage of light, the eyes of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy also brightened in confidence as she thought: 'As I expected from Instructor Lan, such a genius plan… Sigh… Even with my several upgraded skills, I am still so far from her.'

"All right! All the guests have already drunk Elder Yang's special wine! Now it is the turn of all the people who sit at the high-ranking seat." The Emperor said while looking at all the people sitting on the high-ranking seat.

The people who sat on the high-ranking seat were all the people with the closest relationship with the Emperor, such as Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Emperor's concubines, Crown Prince Feng, the other princes, princesses, and so on.

Since Tang Li Xue was led by the Empress to sat beside Crown Prince Feng, so she was sat on the high-ranking seat too right now, including all of the core disciples from Immortal Sword Sect like Ye Zhen and his group too.

All of the core disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect have full trust in Elder Yang, so all of them drank the special wine without any hesitation at all.

But not all of the other people who sat on the high-ranking seat fully trusted Elder Yang.

Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Emperor's concubines, Crown Prince Feng, the other princes, princesses, and so on, have really high positions in Feng Empire, just below the Emperor himself, so they were not willing to drink something that might be a lethal poison just like that.

"All of you are not an exception for this rule. Drink it now or got executed on the spot!" The Emperor shouted to all of them with a stern voice as if he was giving an Imperial Decree.

Without any other choice left, they could only gnashed their teeth and closed their eyes to push away their fear and hesitation, then drank the special wine in one gulp.

In ten minutes or so, almost all the people who sat on the high-ranking seat already drunk Elder Yang's special wine, except for Empress Dowager, the Empress, Crown Prince Feng, and… Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.

Ye Zhen already saw that Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not have any intention to drink the wine a few minutes ago, but he did not have any power here to make an exception since Elder Yang already said that everyone here must drink it. 

He also did not dare to persuade Tang Li Xue's perfect copy since he could see that Tang Li Xue was ​already determined to not drink it at all from her resolute eyes.

Elder Yang only realized that Tang Li Xue's perfect copy had not drunk his wine now, so he tried to coax her to drink it.

Elder Yang smiled gently at her and said: "Miss Chou, why have you not drink my special brewed wine yet? I can guarantee that my wine is not poisonous at all with my name, so you can drink it without any worries."

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy laughed mockingly and said: "Elder Yang, first you invite me to come into the Imperial Palace while the serial killer is still hiding inside it. Then, you invite me again to come at the night banquet to only get locked up like this, and now, you want to force me to drink your wine?!"
