After ten days, Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng once again stood outside the Qingliao Tower.
The old tower guardian slowly approached.
“Elder Ge!”
Seeing the old man, Shangguan Rong greeted him politely, “Ye Wushuang, who entered ten days ago, should be coming out by now.”
“Hmm.”
The old man responded indifferently, then walked to the entrance of the tall tower. With a flick of his finger, beams of light converged, and the massive door creaked open with a loud rumble.
However, after waiting for a while, no one emerged.
Shangguan Rong and Bu Chenfeng’s expressions changed abruptly.
Could it be… he’s dead?
Elder Ge, however, said calmly, “The boy is still alive; he just doesn’t want 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 in the Qingliao 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 spiritual energy surged, and the tower began to emit beams of light. Then, at the entrance, a figure was lifted out, controlled by a series of runes.
Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Ye Wushuang.
“Ye Wushuang, the ten-day punishment is over; it’s time to go,” Bu Chenfeng said immediately.
“Already?” Ye Wushuang muttered, then added, “I don’t want to leave. Keep me here a bit longer!”
With that, Ye Wushuang began to walk back into the tower.
“Get back here,” Bu Chenfeng commanded, grabbing Ye Wushuang with a flick of his hand. “You think you can just come and go 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 departed.
Elder Ge closed the tower door and watched the three figures leave 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 scolded, “You brat, don’t push your luck. If I really lock you in for a year or two, let’s see how you’ll cope!”
Ye Wushuang straightened his clothes and said slowly, “A year or two would be quite nice.”
“You…”
“Never mind,” Ye Wushuang waved his hand and said, “If anyone in the academy bothers 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.
This little troublemaker really was courting disaster.
Ye Wushuang, however, didn’t seem to care and asked, “The Tayan Battle is about to start, right? Is it a duel or a trial?”
“A trial,” Shangguan Rong replied coldly.
“A trial is better. Duels are usually too restricted; you can’t kill your opponents. A trial would be much easier.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “You two, tell Li Changqing to loosen up the guards at the edge of the trial area. Let those Yuanfu realm cultivators sneak in and kill me. I’ll have some fun with them!”
“Are you tired of living?” Bu Chenfeng exclaimed in astonishment. “Do you have any idea how many people, openly or secretly, want to kill you this time?”
“Oh? Tell me more.”
Bu Chenfeng said seriously, “Qin Wuxin, who is currently first on the Tayan list, and Shang Hanyue, who is sixth, are definitely out to kill 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’re capable of killing Zhou Xuan and have impressive strength, but during the trial, it won’t be just one person; it will be a crowd.”
“Among the thousands of disciples in the Inner Court at the Ningmai realm, 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 somewhat gloating.
