As the saying goes, good deeds never go out, but bad deeds travel thousands of miles.
The news of Ling Chen's assassination of He Qing quickly spread wildly in the Swordsmen Academy. In just half a day, even some people in the Swordsmen Academy knew about it.
When Ruo Ling arrived, Ling Chen had been tied up in the square for almost an hour, and there were two law enforcement disciples standing on both sides of the stand, which made Ling Chen extremely depressed.
I thought I could start a new life after I came out, but I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Lingwu Academy, I would be wrongfully accused of murder, which made Ling Chen very depressed.
Although he didn't know who was setting him up, he clearly felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Everyone in the Swordsman's Court knew He Qing's background, but it was a bit strange that someone dared to kill He Qing under such circumstances.
"Brother Lingchen..."
While Ling Chen was lowering his head to think, an anxious voice suddenly sounded.
Ling Chen looked up, a faint smile immediately appeared on his face, and said softly: "Ling'er, why are you here?"
Seeing Ling Chen's calm expression, Ruo Ling said with a bit of blame: "You, you, you have been framed and tied up, and you can still laugh."
"Haha, what's the point? I used to be bullied and beaten every day. I survived those days, not to mention that now I'm just tied up."
After Ling Chen said this, Ruo Ling didn't know what to do for a while.
Glancing at the two law enforcement disciples standing not far away, Ruo Ling asked softly: "Brother Ling Chen, what should we do now? Will they cause trouble for you?"
Ling Chen certainly knew what the trouble Ruo Ling was referring to, but he just smiled and seemed not to take it to heart at all.
"Don't worry, the dean and teachers of the college will not come to trouble me. They are just worried that the Wang family will cause trouble to the college. My father may already know about this matter, and he may come tomorrow morning
.When the time comes...people from the Wang family may also show up!"
At this point, Ling Chen became a little worried. Among the three major families in Xinpo Town, except for the Qin family, which is the most powerful, the Wang family and the Ling family are not much different in strength.
But Wang Ling's family has always been in unharmony, and minor frictions often occur.
In addition, the Ling family and the Wang family have always had a dispute over the territory. If He Qing is killed this time, the Wang family will definitely use this as an excuse to go to war against the Ling family.
So what Ling Chen is worried about now is not himself, but the Wang family!
Ruo Ling's expression froze. She understood what Ling Chen said. She was also born in the same family, so she understood Ling Chen's difficulties.
In fact, no one in the entire Lingwu Academy knew Ruo Ling's true identity. They only knew that Ruo Ling was the child of an ordinary businessman in Xinpo Town. Even Ruo Ling himself had never told Ling Chen about his true identity.
.
If Ruo Ling didn't want to reveal his identity, he didn't mean to deceive Ling Chen on purpose. It was just that his life experience was too sensitive. Once revealed, it would lead to inevitable disaster.
So when she was six years old, she was secretly sent to Xinpo Town and adopted by a business couple.
It was precisely because Ruo Ling hid her true identity from everyone that Ling Chen was kept in the dark for a long time. It was not until the day Ruo Ling's identity was revealed that he knew about Ruo Ling.
The true identity of the spirit.
"Ling'er...Ling'er?"
"ah?"
Ruo Ling's thoughts were interrupted by Ling Chen, and she came back to her senses. Her eyes were blinking, and her face was full of doubts.
Ling Chen shook his head in confusion, "What are you thinking about? I called you and you didn't respond for a long time."
"Really? Maybe...maybe I'm distracted. I know that you come from a noble family, and many times if you are not careful, your entire family will be destroyed. But don't worry too much, there will definitely be a way."
"Uh... why are you suddenly telling me this?" Ling Chen looked at Ruo Ling strangely. He felt that something was wrong with Ruo Ling today.
Ruoling had obviously thought of something painful just now, so she showed such an expression. But she said she was fine, which made Ling Chen even more curious.
"No, I just want to tell you not to worry. As long as the people in the college don't make things difficult for you, you'll be fine. We'll talk about it after your father comes tomorrow."
After saying that, Ruo Ling sat down directly on the edge of the stands in front of Ling Chen, dragging her chin with one hand and looking calm.
Seeing Ruo Ling actually sitting down here, Ling Chen asked with some confusion: "Ling'er, what are you doing sitting here? Go back, it will be windy here at night."
Ruo Ling shook her head, "No, I want to stay with you here. You can chat with me or whatever."
Ling Chen was stunned, "But... with so many people watching around, I'm afraid they will make irresponsible remarks against you."
Ling Chen glanced at the pointing students around him and felt a little worried. After all, Ruo Ling was a girl, so this was indeed not good for her.
"What's the matter? They can say whatever they want. We already agreed on the edge of the cliff this afternoon that we will never leave each other alone in the future!"
"..." Ling Chen opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.
If a person is like this, what can he say?
In this way, Ling Chen and Ruo Ling became another beautiful sight in the college, which made the boys jealous.
On this day, I don't know how many boys scolded Ling Chen bloody in their hearts.
…
Lingwu Academy, in a room in the backyard of the Swordsman Courtyard.
"I'm a little surprised that this loser is not dead."
In the room, there was a young man with a stern look on his face. Behind him, stood an older man, with his head lowered and not saying a word.
"Sir, it's better to stop. If you continue like this, sooner or later someone will find out some clues. You broke through to the swordsman realm a year ago, but you have been hiding your true strength and staying in this swordsman's courtyard. For a woman, it is necessary
Is that so?"
The man behind him looked at the back of the young man in front of him with some confusion, and his words were full of respect.
"Hmph! What do you know? The reason why I want to kill Ling Chen and He Qing is because they are too close to Ruo Ling. I said he belongs to me alone. When I win the Swordsman Academy's year-end competition this year
After taking first place, I will make her my own!"
A cold light shot out from the young man's eyes, and he clenched his fists.
A year ago, he had broken through to the realm of swordsman, but he had been hiding his strength and wandering around the swordsman's courtyard with the strength of the eighth level of swordsman, just to get rid of those who were pursuing Ruoling.
A year later, he is now at the fifth level of swordsmanship, but he still claims to the outside world that he is only at the eighth level of swordsmanship.
And because of his special status, he seldom interacts with others, rarely even shows up, and spends the whole day practicing in his room.
