As the crowd gathered, mentors from the Inner Court and disciples from the Qingyun Enforcement Pavilion had already arrived.
“Alright, alright, everyone disperse, please!” one of the mentors said firmly. “The academy will investigate this matter. It’s none of your concern now!”
The mentors and enforcement disciples began to drive the onlookers away. Qing Chengtian and Xiao Yuan also left with Ye Wushuang. However, both of them felt a sense of frustration and helplessness. They hadn’t killed Wang Sheng, but his death was somehow connected to them.
Ye Wushuang spoke slowly, “Though I did not kill Bo Ren, Bo Ren died because of me.”
Qing Chengtian and Xiao Yuan looked at Ye Wushuang, unsure of what to say. What had Wang Sheng done wrong? He had merely seen Ye Wushuang’s extraordinary talent and wanted to befriend him, hoping to gain some benefits. That was all. Yet, that was enough to get him killed.
As Xiao Yuan and Qing Chengtian were lost in their thoughts, Ye Wushuang, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped. The two of them also halted and looked ahead, slightly stunned. A group of people had appeared, led by a young man who looked to be around twenty years old. He had his long hair tied back and wore a tight-fitting martial uniform that accentuated his agile and fit physique. His expression was cold and disdainful as he stared straight at Ye Wushuang.
“Are you Ye Wushuang?” the young man asked, his voice clear and condescending.
“Yes, I am,” Ye Wushuang replied.
The young man smiled and said, “I am Chu Mingyan.”
Chu Mingyan! He was ranked eighty-ninth on the Tengyun List. Last night, Xiao Yuan and Qing Chengtian had reviewed the academy’s rules and information recorded on their disciple tokens, which included details about the geniuses on the Tengyun List. Chu Mingyan was one of those geniuses. Among the thousands of Inner Court disciples at Qingyun Academy, those who made it onto the Tengyun List were undoubtedly true talents.
“What do you want?” Ye Wushuang asked coldly.
“Indeed, you are arrogant,” Chu Mingyan remarked with a smile, glancing at Wang Sheng’s body being carried away in the distance. “I killed him.”
“You…” Both Qing Chengtian and Xiao Yuan felt a surge of anger upon hearing this.
“Surprised?” Chu Mingyan looked at the three of them with a mocking expression. “I didn’t even know this Wang Sheng before I killed him. In fact, I only learned his name after I killed him.”
“No grudges, no grievances, and yet I killed him. Do you know why, Ye Wushuang?” Seeing that Ye Wushuang remained silent, Chu Mingyan sneered, “Because he dared to ingratiate himself with you, dared to get close to you!”
“He actually wanted to befriend someone who killed my Chu clan’s offspring. Tell me, didn’t he deserve to die?”
Chu Mingyan threw his head back and laughed loudly, his face full of triumph. Looking at Ye Wushuang again, he sneered, “Ye Wushuang, don’t think that just because you’re in Qingyun Academy, you’re safe. From now on, you’ll wish you were dead!”
At this moment, Qing Chengtian and Xiao Yuan were even more furious. Although they had suspected as much, seeing Chu Mingyan stand before them and brazenly confess to the murder was simply unbearable.
Chu Mingyan continued, “What? Too scared to speak now?”
“Ye Wushuang, remember, from now on, don’t you dare…”
*Boom*!
Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Wushuang threw a punch straight at Chu Mingyan’s mouth. The sound of the impact echoed, and Chu Mingyan’s teeth shattered and splintered.
Chu Mingyan’s mouth was filled with blood, and he was completely stunned. Ye Wushuang had actually dared to strike him!
