One day later, a rumor came out from nowhere. It was said that the murderer was a disciple of the academy and had been caught. He was now in the punishment hall.
Many disciples were shocked when they heard the news. Unexpectedly, they were killed by fellow disciples and were directly taken to the punishment hall.
The punishment hall is a hell-like place. Once you enter it, your cultivation will be abolished and you will be expelled from the school. The consequences will be extremely tragic.
However, they did not feel pity for that person. When they first entered the school, the teacher made it clear that fellow students could compete, but they were not allowed to kill each other. This was the bottom line of the school, and no one was allowed to cross it, otherwise they would be punished.
Expelled from school.
That person obviously knew the consequences of doing so, so he chose to do it outside the school. If Xiao Muyang and Mu Feng hadn't escaped with their lives due to their strong strength, they would be two corpses now.
Therefore, the man's current fate was completely deserved.
In Mu Feng's room, two figures were waiting here, it was Du Shan and Xiao Muyang. Although the elders of the academy had taken action to treat Mu Feng's injuries, he was still in a coma and it would take some time to wake up.
"I heard that the murderer has been found, right?" Xiao Muyang suddenly looked at Du Shan and asked.
Du Shan's eyes narrowed when he heard this. According to the rules of the school, disciples are not qualified to inquire about the punishment hall, but Xiao Muyang is one of the parties involved, and he cannot refuse to inquire about the situation from him at this moment.
"I did find it. It's an old student named Wang Hai." Du Shan replied.
"Wang Hai?" Xiao Muyang repeated in his mouth. After a moment, the corners of his mouth curved into a sneer, and he said: "I'm afraid this person is a scapegoat. The real murderer is not him."
He didn't know Wang Hai at all. Even if Wang Hai was a little dissatisfied with him, he would never take huge risks to kill him. This was unreasonable.
"It is true that he is not the mastermind behind the scenes. The head of the Punishment Hall will handle this matter personally. Now he has started investigating. I believe it will not take long to find out who the mastermind is." Du Shan nodded.
"How long will it take?" Xiao Muyang asked again.
Du Shan glanced at him and said immediately: "If it's quick, it can be one day, if it's slow, it can be three days."
"Thank you Master Du for informing me of the result." Xiao Muyang bowed his hand towards Du Shan and thanked him. Du Shan waved his hand carelessly: "In other words, although you are not my direct disciple, I will regard you as my own disciple.
Don’t look too externally at it.”
Xiao Muyang didn't say much, there wasn't much expression on his angular face, and there seemed to be a bit of exhaustion between his brows. Mu Feng hadn't woken up yet, so his mood was naturally very low.
Du Shan saw Xiao Muyang's face and sighed in his heart. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Isn't tomorrow the day to enter the palace to meet the saint?"
Hearing Du Shan's words, Xiao Muyang suddenly had a fluctuation in his eyes. If Du Shan hadn't mentioned this, he would have almost forgotten that he was the top leader in the hunting battle. According to the rules of previous years, the king would hold a ceremony in the palace to celebrate his victory.
Banquet to celebrate the top spot.
Originally this was a happy thing, but because of the assassination, Xiao Muyang forgot about it.
"The king's edict hasn't come down yet, maybe it will be cancelled." Xiao Muyang said to himself. He was not looking forward to the celebration banquet. It didn't matter whether he went or not. He was more concerned about when Mu Feng would wake up.
As if he could see what Xiao Muyang was thinking, Du Shan looked at him seriously and said: "You don't have to feel too pessimistic because of this matter. Mu Feng's injury has stabilized. Now you should pay more attention to your own future and the king's."
I think you should be very clear about what commitment means."
Hearing Du Shan's words, Xiao Muyang raised his head and looked into his eyes, then nodded gently: "Thank you Master Du for reminding me, I understand."
"Opportunities are hard to come by, you have to seize them well." Du Shan spoke again. Mu Feng was his disciple, and he was naturally very concerned about it, but he did not want Xiao Muyang to delay his future because of Mu Feng.
At the same time, in another pavilion of Dikun Pavilion, Ye Chen was sitting on the bed, clenching his fists, his face was always tense, and there was a hint of worry.
"What's wrong with you?" A gentle voice came. Lin Zhihan came over and sat next to Ye Chen, looking at Ye Chen with beautiful eyes.
She found that Ye Chen had been restless since the end of the hunting battle. He spent most of the time alone without saying a word, as if he had suddenly changed into a different person, which made her feel a little strange.
"It's none of your business." Ye Chen said coldly, without even looking at Lin Zhihan.
Lin Zhihan originally wanted to comfort him, but after hearing his words, her face froze, and she felt indescribably uncomfortable. Is this the person she wanted to marry even if she broke off the engagement?
When she was in Qingzhou City, Xiao Muyang regarded her as a treasure and never said a harsh word to her. But now when she is with Ye Chen, although she is happy sometimes, she never feels the same kind of love as before.
Feeling safe.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, she knew very well that this was not the life she wanted.
Ye Chen did not regard her as the only one.
However, what was supposed to happen had already happened. She had no choice but to make mistakes and hope that time would change everything.
"You should have a good rest. I'll go for a walk." Lin Zhihan said to Ye Chen, then stood up and left. There was a bit of sadness on her face when she left. The so-called going out for a walk was just to escape.
Ye Chen glanced at Lin Zhihan's back, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes. He actually didn't have much love for Lin Zhihan. It was just that the family wanted to join forces with the Lin family in order to increase its power, so they asked him to marry Lin Zhihan. When he saw
Lin Zhihan was pretty, so she didn't refuse.
If he had not married Lin Zhihan, he would not have had any conflict with Xiao Muyang, let alone everything that followed, and he would not have sent people to assassinate Xiao Muyang several times.
The person Wang Hai fought tooth and nail to protect was Ye Chen. At that time, because Ye Chen was humiliated by Xiao Muyang in the hunting ground and could not swallow his bad breath, he asked Wang Hai to assassinate Xiao Muyang, but he did not consider the consequences of this incident.
He thought that the previous two assassinations were okay, and it would be the same this time.
However, he underestimated the importance that Yuncang Academy attached to this matter. Many elders sent out to investigate the matter. Now that Wang Hai had been captured, he could not guess what would happen next, and he did not dare to guess.
He felt extremely regretful at the moment, but now it was too late.
In fact, it wasn't that Ye Chen didn't consider the consequences when he made the decision. It was just that his mind was overwhelmed by anger at the time and he had lost his mind. He ignored the danger behind the matter. It wasn't until Yuncang Academy took action that he realized
I'm so excited.
Now he only hopes that Wang Hai can bite the bullet and not expose him, so that he can still have a chance to clear his name, otherwise, the price will not be something he can bear!
