Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 315 Zhou Wei, Her Crime Doesn't Deserve Death

Shen Shuqing was still in shock when she saw three people walk out from around the corner behind Zhou Wei.

Princess Jiang Yueli was in front, Tan Lin and the little monk were behind, and A Bao was mixed in between the three of them!

Shen Shuqing burst into tears of joy and grabbed Zhou Wei, letting out a cry of surprise.

"We're out?"

Zhou Wei laughed and said, "Not yet. Once you enter the painting again, you'll be able to escape the illusion."

Shen Shuqing looked terrified: "But I've already burned the painting."

"Don't you understand? We keep going through the same painting over and over again, and what you burned wasn't the real one."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the princess and the others, then suddenly asked in a low voice, "Are these people real?"

Zhou Wei chuckled softly: "Of course, I used myself as the medium to bring them out of the painting."

Shen Shuqing was completely confused. "They're in the painting? Then where are we?"

"Also in the painting."

Zhou Wei didn't know how to explain it to Shen Shuqing, so she thought for a moment and redeemed three small mirrors from the system.

"Princess, please help me."

Jiang Yueli walked over, took the mirrors, and after some fiddling, folded the three mirrors together.

Shen Shuqing peeked out and was startled to find that the mirror was incredibly clear.

"What...what is this?"

Zhou Wei was taken aback for a moment, then realized that bronze mirrors were still in use these days, and her mercury mirror was indeed quite ahead of its time.

"This is a mirror, clearer than a bronze mirror. Look, with three mirrors together, doesn't the space inside seem infinite?"

Shen Shuqing observed carefully, her eyes filled with shock.

Zhou Wei continued to explain: "That's why I said the medium is not the painting, but me. I am the starting point for all the reflections of light."

"When I disappear as the starting point, all reflections will cease to exist."

Shen Shuqing was still confused, but she knew one thing: they could finally leave the illusion in the painting.

After giving Shen Shuqing a preliminary explanation, Zhou Wei did not ask Jiang Yueli what happened to them in the illusion.

The most important thing now is to get out of here.

Zhou Wei had noticed that among the three, Tan Lin looked grief-stricken, as if he had encountered a major misfortune.

The group arrived at Ji Zhengyao's room, where the painting that Shen Shuqing had burned was indeed found intact on the wall.

After Zhou Wei gave some instructions, the group rushed into the painting one by one.

When everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves still in Ji Zhengyao's room.

"Weiwei, are we still not out?" Jiang Yueli asked.

Zhou Wei smiled and said, "The princess has already come out."

As Zhou Wei finished speaking, a noisy sound came from outside. The academy disciples had finished their dinner and began to return to their dormitories to rest.

Upon hearing human voices, Shen Shuqing almost burst into tears.

"It's really out!"

Zhou Wei said, "We just came out of the painting and are still in the second layer of the academy's illusion."

Mentioning the second layer of the academy illusion, Shen Shuqing couldn't help but look at Jiang Yueli and the other two.

"Zhou Wei, the princess and the others have appeared. What about those three people who were in the illusion earlier..."

Shen Shuqing wanted to ask, are these people still around?

Zhou Wei thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's gone, otherwise it would easily cause system conflicts."

Shen Shuqing didn't quite understand, but she trusted Zhou Wei's judgment. If it weren't for Zhou Wei's intelligence and decisive action, they would still be trapped in this illusion in the painting.

At this moment, Wan Qianliang and Jiang Zao also rushed over.

Just by looking at their expressions, you could tell they were awake!

Wan Qianliang's gaze had been following Shen Shuqing. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his junior sister was alright.

He then glared at Zhou Wei and demanded, "What's going on with this academy? Are you behind this?"

Thinking that he could return to the Valley of Divine Healers after the academy trip, Wan Qianliang's suppressed heart gradually began to stir.

He wished he could kill Zhou Wei immediately to vent his hatred!

Shen Shuqing tugged at him: "We entered an illusion, and although we've woken up now, we're still in the illusion and haven't gotten out."

Wan Qianliang's expression changed: "How could there be an illusion at Zhengshan Academy? I've never heard of such a thing before."

Zhou Wei said bluntly, "There are many things you haven't heard of."

After saying that, he ignored Wan Qianliang, called out to Jiang Zao, and prepared to go back to his room.

She still had many questions to ask the eldest princess.

After everyone left, Shen Shuqing looked at Wan Qianliang and said, "Senior brother, this illusion is extremely dangerous. If you're not careful, you could get trapped inside and never be able to get out."

"How did you think you were awake? It was Zhou Wei who destroyed the third illusion, which is why you and Jiang Zao woke up in the second illusion."

Wan Qianliang was completely bewildered and didn't understand a word of it.

“Junior sister, don’t associate with that vile woman,” Wan Qianliang said angrily. “When we return to the Valley of Divine Healers, it will be her death day.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuqing felt conflicted.

After a long pause, he stammered, "Senior brother... I think Zhou Wei's crime doesn't warrant death."

Upon hearing this, Wan Qianliang's eyes widened, as if he no longer recognized Shen Shuqing.

"Junior sister, are you insane?" he asked urgently. "She doesn't deserve to die?"

"Have you forgotten how she humiliated you and me in the Marquis's mansion? She not only beat us, but also tampered with my internal energy, making me lose face!"

"Such a lowly servant girl, and you still say she doesn't deserve to die? Junior sister, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Shuqing looked somewhat embarrassed, and after a long while said, "Yes, Zhou Wei did do these things, but even if she did them, we should just teach her a lesson. We don't need to take her life, do we?"

"Senior brother, Master is extremely protective of his own. If he knew what Zhou Wei did to you and me, he would be furious and wouldn't let her live."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you, senior brother, when we return to the Valley of Divine Healers, not to speak so ill of Zhou Wei..."

After saying that, Shen Shuqing realized that she had gone too far.

Wan Qianliang felt that he had been greatly humiliated by Zhou Wei, and he could not quell his hatred unless he killed Zhou Wei!

Upon hearing Shen Shuqing's words, Wan Qianliang trembled with anger.

"Impossible! Junior sister, I can agree to anything else, but this is absolutely impossible."

"Once Zhou Wei returns to the Valley of Divine Healers, she can just wait to die!"

After Wan Qianliang finished speaking, he turned around and left angrily.

Shen Shuqing looked at Wan Qianliang's retreating figure and sighed deeply.

Suddenly, he regretted suggesting that Zhou Wei escort Wan Qianliang back to the Divine Doctor Valley.

Meanwhile, in Zhou Wei's room.

Everyone sat down, and the expressions on each person's face were complicated.

"Let me ask first, Princess, what did you experience in the illusionary realm within the painting?"

The princess looked dejected. She glanced at Tan Lin and noticed that he was listless and had no strength to speak.

She then said, "We actually went to a real academy."

Zhou Wei was startled upon hearing this. A real academy?

Is it the loop instance where all the disciples of Zhengshan Academy are trapped?

"So what did you see in the academy?"

Tan Lin covered his face with both hands and made painful sounds.

"It's gone, all gone..."
