A few students of the Heaven School wearing white clothes walk in, their face beaming with smiles. There are three boys and two girls, who look quite young.
“I was wondering who was boasting. I didn’t expect it was you, Uncle Wangyue!” One of the men, with a jade pendant hanging at his waist, comes to Yan Chao and gives a pat on his shoulder, saying with a sneer.
Upon the sight of these people, Yan Chao becomes sober instantly.
In a rush he stands up and greets them with joined hands, saying with a forced smile, “Senior brothers and sisters, I am so sorry. I was a bit carried away for drinking too much with my friend…”
The man suddenly kicks Yan Chao down, saying angrily, “Who are your seniors? Hum! If the sovereign and the honorable elders know about this, they will blame us for being impolite.”
“Yes, you are right. It’s my bad…” Kicked down as he is, Yan Chao still gets up quickly with the unchanged smile.
“Shanyao, just come at me. Don’t get him involved…” Yan Chao is still vomiting blood while getting up.The dark boy frowns. He pulls over Shanyao, whispering, “Shanyao, forget about it. If you really beat him to death, we will be in trouble.”When people are angry, they won’t take the advice like that. After all, it sounds more like an incitement. Maybe that may work on mature people, but Shanyao is definitely not mature.He says furiously, “What do you mean? What if I kill this bastard today?”The dark boy says with a forced smile, “Shanyao, I didn’t mean that…” Actually, he doesn’t talk to Shanyao in such a manner at ordinary times but he knows that anything he says now is just adding fuel to fire. If the matter is really none of his business, he won’t care about it. However, if Yan Chao really dies here, the other four people including him will be regarded as accomplices of Shanyao.Therefore, the rest three people
The dark-skinned boy knows that it is not appropriate for him to say too much. After all, when they were at Yan Chao’s room, his action has made Shanyao a bit disgruntled.Shanzhu doesn’t care about that. She says in a low voice, “Isn’t this too over? Do we really have to kill them?”Shanzha looks at Shanzhu with a bit of jealousy and annoyance in her eyes.“Shanzhu, you are too innocent. For someone like Yan Chao, death is not to be regretted. Do you remember how arrogant he was when he just joined the Heaven School? How rudely did he treat us? Didn’t you see how he bullied the peers? Moreover, in order to join the School, he even betrayed his own family. Doesn’t such a person deserve to die?”“Yeah, exactly.” Shanyao also shows support for Shanzha, “Shanzhu, it’s none of your business. No need to worry about it.”Shanzhu wishes to speak but stops on a second thought.She really wants to ask these people.
Shanzha is quite frustrated.Through the window, she can see that Yan Chao is still alive.She is wondering why Gao Ge and Yan Chao don’t have supper.Since their plot cannot proceed, she can only leave, dejected and despondent.However, she is not aware that a man is following her.When she arrives at the designated place, Shanyao and another young student are waiting there, without the dark-skinned boy and Shanzhu.They have waited there for long. When they see that Shanzha comes back, they hasten to ask her.“How is it? Are the two bastards dead?”Shanzha shakes her head, “No.”Shanyao is shocked and confused, “How is it possible?”“I don’t know. Is it because the poison is not deadly enough?” Shanzha says in confusion.“It’s impossible!” The other young student says in a hurry, “I stole the poison from the pharmacy. It can even kill 50 ti
Yan Chao looks a bit flurried and almost falls down for not paying attention to the threshold when running into the room.“Oh my God! Oh my God!”Gao Ge looks at Yan Chao with a frown, saying unhappily, “Calm down and tell me what’s wrong.”Yan Chao says in a trembling voice, “Shanyao and his peers are dead!”“Oh.” Gao Ge feels that Yan Chao is such an idiot.Doesn’t he guess what Gao Ge went out for last night?What is the surprise of Shanyao and his peers’ death?“You did it?” Looking at the calm face of Gao Ge, Yan Chao is suddenly dumbfounded.Gao Ge darts a look at him and gets off bed to put on his shoes. He pours some cold water into the basin. Having washed his face with the water, Gao Ge feels quite refreshed.“Did you see that I did it?” Gao Ge wrings out the towel, uses it to wipe his face, and turns around to say to Yan Chao.Yan Chao shakes h
Faced with Gao Ge’s question, the factotum falls into silence and even becomes flurried.Shanzhu and the dark-skinned boy look each other in the eye. They both see the helplessness in each other’s eyes.Out of their expectation, Gao Ge’s confidence to deny the charge comes from that.Undoubtedly, Gao Ge is quite smart. He uses this way to disclose what happened yesterday, making him and Yan Chao the vulnerable ones. Now there is no adequate evidence to prove that they are the murderers. Even if there is, Daozhi may not just kill them directly. After all, it is not a deliberate murder but a homicide in self-defense.“Answer the question. What are you hesitating for?” Daozhi becomes furious at the silence of the factotum. He immediately realizes that the truth may not be as he has learned. Faced with the sovereign and other honorable elders, he feels a bit disgraced.The factotum has no other choice but to keep kowtowing
The sovereign frowns. He darts a look at Daoyuan and says, “In this case, we may as well carry out a detailed investigation and enquire whether any one of our swordsmen has lost his weapon. By then, the whole thing will come to light.”Before Daoyuan says anything, the sovereign turns around to look at Daozhi, “Daozhi, you are in charge of the investigation.”“Yes!” Daozhi nods his head and immediately takes the men of the Penalty Hall away.Gao Ge starts to close his eyes for rest.After all, the end has been set.“Let’s leave here first.” The sovereign says.Gao Ge suddenly opens his eyes, saying, “Sovereign, please wait a minute.”The sovereign stops and turns to him with his eyes full of confusion.Gao Ge says with a bitter smile, “Please ask the Third Honorable Elder to guard us here.”The sovereign becomes puzzled, asking, “Why?”“I am worried that
The next morning, something unusual happens outside Gao Ge’s room.The sovereign, a few honorable elders and some core students in black are all waiting outside the door, showing great respect for Gao Ge.After Gao Ge gets dressed, washes his face and rinses his mouth, he has breakfast under the watch of the sovereign and his men. The breakfast is only some steamed stuffed buns, fried bread sticks and porridge. Gao Ge feels like eating at his own neighborhood.“Brat, can you eat faster?” Daoyuan dislikes Gao Ge so he just takes the chance to make a fuss, “Do you just look down upon the Heaven School?”Holding half a steamed stuffed bun, Gao Ge looks at Daoyuan, saying, “Third Honorable Elder, if you want to kill me, there are plenty of opportunities. Don’t worry!”Daoyuan has been seen through by Gao Ge. He is dumbfounded by a few seconds. He really cannot accept the way Gao Ge talks. It is not necessary to say everyth
Seeing that Gao Ge is really leaving the pavilion, the voice comes again, “Stop!”As a gust of queer wind blows by, the door is closed. The oil lamp on the wall is suddenly lit and the pavilion becomes bright instantly.Gao Ge feels upset at once.Is the old man going to shut the door and beat him up?“Sir, since you don’t trust me, I can leave now.” Gao Ge does feel feared right now.Although the grandmaster is severely injured, he is a strong man at the realm of Master!In the whole region of Huaxia, there are only a small number of cultivators who can achieve the realm of Master.A thin camel is even stronger than a horse. If the grandmaster gets furious and wants to kill him, he can hardly get away.However, Gao Ge will not curry favor with anybody!He will only do what he should do and say what he should say. Neither will he try to fawn on others due to fear. Oth
