Chapter 73

It's her!

Wei Ming left. Wei Ying didn’t have time to pass on any information and ended his own life cleanly and decisively, which was the style of their City Lord’s Mansion. As a secret agent, when exposed and unable to escape, death was the most efficient way to protect everything.

Wei Ying was one of the Twelve Wei, not an ordinary secret agent, but he acted more decisively than any ordinary agent. The mission he was on wasn’t even important, as Lu Ping and his group had no real conflict of interest with the City Lord’s Mansion. They merely lacked the respect and fear that commoners should have shown towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Such matters could be big or small, but the City Lord’s Mansion handled everything meticulously. When big and small matters coincided, the big ones were always prioritized. What were the big matters? Sending the young City Lord to Bipolar Academy and properly arranging his cultivation of Moonlight Soul Washing were the big matters. Once the big matters were settled, the small ones couldn’t be ignored and had to be addressed.

The handling of the matter hadn’t even begun; Wei Ying was just sent to check on what these people were doing, but it ended up costing him his life.

He died quickly and decisively over a small matter, but this by no means indicated that his life was unimportant.

The Twelve Wei of the City Lord’s Mansion were all trusted subordinates of City Lord Wei Zhong. Wei Ying, in particular, was the top secret agent and top assassin he had personally trained.

Now, he was dead.

So now, this was no longer a small matter.

Wei Ming returned to his residence and immediately wrote a confidential letter, reporting everything that had happened to the City Lord. Was he at fault? This consideration didn’t exist when he wrote the letter. He simply described the situation in the most concise and accurate way possible. The judgment of right and wrong was entirely up to the City Lord. He wouldn’t hide anything in the letter or offer any defense; if there was any, it would be dealt with later.

The Twelve Wei were deeply trusted by the City Lord for a reason.

After completing everything, Wei Ming left his residence. He couldn’t stop; he had to immediately start gathering information on that woman. Since she came from Tianzhao Academy, the people of Bipolar Academy should know something, right?

Wei Ming touched his face; the bowl of shrimp porridge in Wangshan Town hadn’t burned him, but the humiliation hadn’t been forgotten.

He was a proud man, but also a man who strictly adhered to the rules of the City Lord’s Mansion. He wouldn’t let his personal feelings override the City Lord’s Mansion. However, now that this woman had stepped into the path of the City Lord’s Mansion, it was a good opportunity to wash away his humiliation. This two-for-one deal, Wei Ming didn’t oppose at all.

In the sky, a specially trained swift from the City Lord’s Mansion carried the confidential letter and flew swiftly towards Xiagong Mountain. Chu Min also returned to Tianzhao Academy at this time, to the clearing by the library.

"Is there something?" Chu Min casually asked Lu Ping, but it turned out there was indeed something.

A diversion?

Combining the two sides, this was the immediate thought that came to Chu Min’s mind, but he quickly shook his head. At Tianzhao Academy, it was just a matter of some students being at a disadvantage and coming to settle the score. Such a small matter, why would it cost a life?

"Do you recognize the person who came?" Chu Min asked Lu Ping.

"No." Lu Ping had only arrived in the second half. When Wen Yan and Dao Ran were calling each other’s names, he had gone to the restroom.

"He was very tall and strong, and I heard his people call him 'Brother Dao.'" Lu Ping described the person. "Brother Dao" was what someone shouted after he ran away.

"I know who it is." Chu Min nodded.

"It looks like they will come again." Lu Ping said.

"You stay here, I’ll go warn him." Chu Min acted decisively, immediately leaving again. Lu Ping smiled, saying nothing. He had long noticed that Teacher Chu Min liked to solve problems with violence. Just look at the cultivation methods arranged for them; they were extremely simple and brutal.

*Clap... Clap... Clap...*

Lu Ping continued practicing his Resonant Soul with the fragments, not too disturbed. It was almost noon, but Chu Min still hadn’t returned. On the other side, Mo Lin had already climbed to the big tree stump where they usually ate, continuously tapping it, indicating he was hungry and wanted to eat.

"Wait a bit." Lu Ping said, but Mo Lin couldn’t hear and kept tapping. Lu Ping grabbed some grass and put it in his mouth. Mo Lin happily bit it and quickly spat it out, looking angry and tapping the stump even harder.

Lu Ping really didn’t know how to communicate with this guy. Fortunately, someone finally came. It wasn’t Chu Min, but Wen Yan, bringing lunch.

"Have you eaten?" Wen Yan asked.

"No." Lu Ping nodded, hurriedly grabbing a bun from the food box Wen Yan brought and stuffing it into Mo Lin’s mouth. Mo Lin finally stopped tapping the stump and smiled.

"What’s he happy about?" Wen Yan asked while taking out the food boxes.

"He’s eating." Lu Ping said.

"Oh, how pitiful..." Wen Yan had always sympathized with their cultivation state.

Lu Ping led Su Tang over, and Wen Yan then said to him, "Something might have happened."

"What happened?" Lu Ping asked.

"Teacher Chu Min, for some reason, rushed into Bipolar Academy this morning and killed a student there. Now, the Dean of Bipolar Academy has personally come to our academy. They are in the Dean’s office!" Wen Yan looked worried.

The Dean’s office was now filled with true big shots, and she no longer had the right to enter freely. Her information came from rumors. In fact, no one had seen Chu Min kill the student. It was just that Chu Min’s intrusion into Bipolar Academy and the death of a student there coincided in time and place, so the rumor spread this way.

However, this exaggerated version was actually the closest to the truth. There were only two inaccuracies: first, Wei Ying was not a student at Bipolar Academy; second, he wasn’t killed by Chu Min but was forced to kill himself.

But who knew?

The students didn’t know, just speculating. As for how the big shots from both academies were discussing it, they had no way of knowing.

"After I heard this, I thought you guys were alone, so I hurried over, bringing some food. I wanted to find some people to help, but..." Wen Yan shook her head helplessly. Dao Ran was a bully in the academy with a powerful backer. Even some students stronger than him were unwilling to stand up, let alone help a few students from the mountains they had no connection with. As for justice, if it existed, Dao Ran wouldn’t have been so arrogant.

"Teacher Chu Min is also to blame, putting you through such dangerous cultivation and leaving you in this big forest." Wen Yan was also angry.

"Hmm... Teacher Chu Min may not be very meticulous, but I think there must be some reason for this arrangement." Lu Ping said.

"Is that so?" Wen Yan, not fully understanding, didn’t dare to speak too confidently. "You should eat quickly. After eating, we can take them to hide somewhere. What do you think?"

"Sounds like a plan." Lu Ping nodded, not objecting.

Just as he said this, Wen Yan, who had her Resonant Soul ability of far-sightedness always active, noticed people moving in the forest ahead.

"They’re already here!" Wen Yan said urgently, standing up and looking around, unsure of whom to take first.

"Which side?" Lu Ping remained calm.

"That side, there are quite a few people." Wen Yan pointed ahead.

"You take him." Lu Ping pointed to Mo Lin, then walked to Su Tang, pulling her behind him and bending down to carry her. Su Tang immediately cooperated. Lu Ping, carrying Su Tang, went to the tree and picked up Xifan, who was completely unconscious.

"We can’t go far now, let’s hide in the library first." Wen Yan had also managed to deal with Mo Lin. Although he wasn’t as cooperative as Su Tang, his strength was no match for Wen Yan’s grip, which made him behave.

"You should knock him out." Lu Ping glanced at Mo Lin, who pretended to be obedient but was secretly reaching into his pocket. Clearly, he thought they were in danger and was preparing to use some trick. But there was no time or method to communicate or explain.

"Oh?" Wen Yan was surprised but didn’t ask more, waving her hand to knock Mo Lin out. Then, she and Lu Ping hurriedly moved towards the library.

(New week, where are everyone’s recommendation votes??)
