After a span of ten days, Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng once again found themselves outside the Qingliao Tower. The tower’s guardian, an elderly man, approached them with measured steps.
“Elder Ge!” Shangguan Rong greeted him respectfully. “Ye Wushuang, who entered ten days ago, should be coming out now.”
“Mm,” the old man responded indifferently, before walking to the towering gate. With a flick of his finger, beams of light converged, and the massive door creaked open with a thunderous roar. However, after waiting for a while, no one emerged.
Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng’s expressions turned grave. Could it be… that he had perished within?
Elder Ge, however, calmly said, “The boy is still alive. He simply doesn’t wish to come out.”
“Doesn’t want to come out?” Bu Chenfeng chuckled bitterly. “Elder Ge, you must be joking. Who wouldn’t want to leave the Qingliao Tower…”
In the past, every disciple or elder who had been punished and sent into the tower had always been eager to get out as soon as possible.
Elder Ge glanced at Bu Chenfeng and continued, “Indeed…” With a wave of his hand, a terrifying aura of spiritual energy surged forth, and the tower began to emit rays of light. Then, from the entrance, a figure was lifted out, controlled by a series of mystical runes.
Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Ye Wushuang.
“Ye Wushuang, your ten-day punishment is over. It’s time to leave,” Bu Chenfeng said immediately.
“So soon…” Ye Wushuang muttered, then added, “I don’t want to leave. Keep me here longer!”
With that, he began to walk back into the tower.
“Come back here!” Bu Chenfeng summoned Ye Wushuang with a flick of his hand, scolding him, “Do you think you can just go in and out as you please? Today is the start of the Tayan Battle. You’re coming with me.”
With that, Bu Chenfeng took Ye Wushuang away, while Shangguan Rong, with an apologetic look at Elder Ge, also left.
Elder Ge closed the tower door and watched the three figures disappear into the valley entrance. He couldn’t help but chuckle. It was the first time he had ever seen someone unwilling to leave the Qingliao Tower. How interesting.
Outside the valley, Bu Chenfeng dropped Ye Wushuang and said sternly, “You brat, don’t push your luck. If I really lock you in there for a year or two, you’ll see how unbearable it is!”
Ye Wushuang straightened his clothes and replied slowly, “A year or two would be quite nice.”
“You…” Bu Chenfeng sputtered, but Ye Wushuang waved his hand and said, “Forget it. If anyone in the academy dares to provoke me again, I’ll just kill a couple more geniuses and get back in here.”
Hearing this, Bu Chenfeng and Shangguan Rong’s faces turned pale. The boy was truly courting disaster.
Ye Wushuang, unfazed, asked, “The Tayan Battle is about to start, right? So, is it a duel or a trial?”
“A trial,” Shangguan Rong replied coldly.
“A trial is better. Duels are usually too restrictive, and we can’t kill our opponents. A trial would be much easier.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Hey, you two, tell Li Changqing to loosen up the guards at the edge of the trial area. Let some of those Yuanfu Realm guys slip in and fight me. I’ll have some fun with them!”
“Are you asking for death?” Bu Chenfeng exclaimed in astonishment. “Do you have any idea how many people, openly or secretly, want to kill you this time?”
“Oh? Do tell,” Ye Wushuang replied with interest.
Bu Chenfeng said seriously, “Qin Wuxin, who is currently first on the Tayan List, and Shang Hanxue, who is sixth, are definitely out to get you. In addition, there are Chu Wentian, Liu Po Feng, and Xiao Bu Jin, all of whom are in the top twenty of the Tayan List.”
“I know you were able to kill Zhou Xuan, and your strength is remarkable, but during the trial, it won’t be just one person. It will be a crowd.”
“Among the thousands of Ningshuai Realm disciples in the Inner Court, nearly a quarter are from the Five Great Families. You might be able to handle them one-on-one, but what about when they gang up on you?”
Bu Chenfeng’s tone was tinged with a hint of schadenfreude.
