Yang Man consoled Yi Huo for a while before she walked out.
"Mother, will Elder Brother not get better either?" Yi Chuxue said with some panic.
Yang Man's face sank and she shook her head silently.
"Second Brother, how could he do this?" Yi Chuxue bit her lips and said, feeling terrified.
After Yi Huo had this accident, Yi Chuxue keenly felt that the people in the family were all looking at her strangely.
Originally, when Yi Bing's temper had started to improve and he didn't seem to bear too much of a grudge against Yi Huo on the surface, Yi Chuxue felt a little proud. She thought that neither her father nor her mother were able to persuade Yi Bing, but Yi Bing was persuaded by her, so at least she was still good at consoling people.
Yi Chuxue never would've thought that Yi Bing had actually always hated Yi Huo, but only put on a nonchalant appearance in front of her. He just wanted to deceive her and use her.
"Your Elder Brother and Second Brother have both gotten into an accident one after the other. It's a little strange." Yang Man said.
A gleam of cold light flashed through Yang Man's eyes. When Yi Huo had said that Yi Bing's injury wasn't his fault, Yang Man originally didn't believe him too much. After Yi Huo was poisoned, he still insisted that he didn't do it, so now Yang Man had to believe him. There was no reason for Yi Huo to continue lying even now that the situation has already reached this point, and Principal Lu Ming had also said that Yi Bing's injury was probably caused by a level six fire mage.
There were only two level six fire mages in the secret dimension, and those two both had proof that they weren't there at the time, so the suspects could be ruled out.
"This matter must be related to Yi Fan. The person who can benefit the most from Big Brother and Second Brother both getting into accidents is Yi Fan. He has always been jealous of Big Brother and Second Brother, and now that the two brothers have gotten injured, he must be secretly very happy. "Yi Chuxue said dully.
Yang Man narrowed her eyes, and some suspicions about Yi Fan were raised in her heart. She said in a low voice, "That guy Yi Fan, it's also about time to deal with him."
Yang Man didn't believe that Yi Fan could be involved with Yi Huo and Yi Bing's matters, but now that Yi Huo and Yi Bing were both wastes, the originally insignificant Yi Fan was now be a threat to Yi Huo and Yi Bing, and Yang Man wouldn't tolerate this threat.
Special area of Tianlan College's Library.
Yi Fan, who was wearing Qian Mian's face, walked to Qi Shaorong's side and asked, "Are you looking for a book?"
Yi Fan looked at Qi Shaorong, and felt a little puzzled in his heart. Qi Shaorong had been staying in the library these days, looking for some obscure books to read.
"Not really." Qi Shaorong touched the mark on his hand that was hidden by the glove that he was wearing.
Qi Shaorong's intuition told him that there was a problem with the mark on his hand, but he didn't want to take it out and share it with others when it still wasn't necessary.
"The Yi Family hasn't been very peaceful recently." Qi Shaorong said, turning around the topic.
Good news never goes far beyond the gate, but bad news spreads far and wide. The news of Yi Huo becoming a waste had spread out very quickly.
Qi Shaorong, who was in the college, also received this information.
Yi Fan laughed and said, "They can cause as much of a commotion as they want. Those watching all the excitement wouldn't think that it's too much, so the more chaotic the better."
Yi Fan secretly thought: Yi Bing was smarter than he thought. He knew to use Yi Chuxue, and Yi Chuxue was just a fool. Yi Bing seems to have been able to take advantage of the fact that he's a waste. Yi Huo that probably never would've thought that the latter half of his life would be destroyed by his beloved younger sister.
"What bad things are you two talking about?" Hu Feng walked in, with his hands behind his back.
Qi Shaorong's heart sank slightly, and he secretly thought about how lucky he was. Fortunately, he hadn't talked about any taboo subjects with Yi Fan just now.
"Principal, we were just talking nonsense." Qi Shaorong said.
"Don't worry, what you said was right. Those watching all the excitement wouldn't think that it's too much, so the more chaotic the better. Lu Ming that guy has been too carried away by his success these years. He thought that he's helped so many great talents, but it turns out that they're all some unsuccessful guys. If they don't get along, they'll all turn against each other." Hu Feng said, full of schadenfreude [1].
Qi Shaorong and Yi Fan couldn't help but look at each other. Qi Shaorong secretly thought: The principal, this guy, wasn't such a good thing either!
Hu Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, the Yi Family's Yi Huo and Yi Bing have both consecutively gotten into an accident. It's really kind of odd!"
"It's only two brothers who've had a dispute behind the gates of an influential family, it's really not that strange." Qi Shaorong said.
"In fact, it wasn't necessarily Yi Huo who had attacked Yi Bing. That day when Yi Bing had come out, I saw him. The magic power of the person who had hurt Yi Bing should've been at the sixth level. However, Yi Huo's only a fifth-level magician, he's not strong enough." Hu Feng said.
Qi Shaorong said puzzledly, "Wasn't it said that Yi Bing had been injured by level five fire magic?"
Hu Feng nodded and said, "That's right, but the magical control of the assailant was very good. That kind of magic power didn't seem to belong to a level five mage. Therefore, I think that Yi Bing may have been attacked by a level six mage who had used level five magic. "
Qi Shaorong: "…" Hu Feng has such a strong observation ability! Fortunately, Yi Bing, that idiot, didn't have Hu Feng's head.
"Principal, what you're saying is terrible!" Qi Shaorong said.
Hu Feng laughed and said, "Yes! I'm just talking nonsense. The Yi family had invited all the light priests of the imperial capital over there again."
Qi Shaorong pouted his lips and said, "Was it useful?"
Hu Feng shook his head and said, "No, according to rumours, the poison in Yihuo's body is very strange. It was the first time that those light priests had ever seen it."
Qi Shaorong: "…" Of course that was the first time that they'd seen it. Yi Fan had contracted a highly poisonous red viper and gave it a lot of poisonous substances to eat. As a result, it ended up mutating and became extremely poisonous.
Qi Shaorong and Yi Fan walked out of the library. Qi Shaorong frowned, and whispered, "There are still many smart people in this world, so you should be careful." Hu Feng was able to tell that the person who had hurt Yi Bing may have been a level six mage. It didn't make sense for Lu Ming that old guy to not have seen it either.
"Young Master, it's alright. You know, all the people who participated in the Hundred Schools Competition had to sign a contract. Matters of life and death inside the secret dimension, along with any grudges or grievances aren't allowed to be brought outside the secret dimension." Yi Fan said lightly.
Qi Shaorong smiled and said, "Contract? That's not worth anything!" That contract, to put it plainly, was only used to restrict those weaklings who didn't have any backing.
"The Yi Family is in a mess right now." Yi Huo and Yi Bing were both wastes. For those two wastes, who knows how much effort the Yi Family was wasting.
"Your stepmother has a very meticulous mind. She might end up placing her suspicions on you." Qi Shaorong said.
"That woman would suspect me no matter what."
Yi Fan lowered his head. After Yi Huo's accident, Yang Man had very quickly found out that the poison had come from Yi Bing's little concubine. Although the concubine had already escaped from the imperial capital, she still wasn't able to escape Yang Man's investigation. It was a pity that the concubine wasn't very clear about the origin of the poison either.
Qi Shaorong glanced at Yi Fan and said, "You have to be a little more careful."
Yi Fan smiled and said, "I will."
Qi Shaorong and Yi Fan were walking along the tree-lined path on the campus. Yi Fan suddenly stopped and looked at the people in the distance. Yi Fan smiled and said, "Young Master Zhuang has come, and he seems to be looking for you. I'll leave first. "
Zhuang Hao walked step by step to Qi Shaorong's side and said, "Fourth Young Master Qi has a good relationship with Classmate Qian Mian!"
"I have friends all over the world and I'm very popular. I can't help it." Qi Shaorong said lightly.
Zhuang Hao smiled and said, "Fourth Young Master Qi's popularity is great, it's really enviable!"
"Young Master Zhuang, would you like to know why I'm so popular? I'm handsome, kind-hearted, innocent and cute. No matter how much others might envy my popularity, it's not something that they can achieve." Qi Shaorong said.
Zhuang Hao: "…"
"The Ghost Doctor has disappeared, do you know where he went?" Zhuang Hao said.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and said, "The Ghost Doctor is gone, so you came to find me. Young Master Zhuang, I heard that you like the Ghost Doctor, then that means that we're love rivals. Is it possible that you want to ask me for help! If you only have this little amount of ability, then I advise you to retreat in the face of difficulty."
Zhuang Hao stared at Qi Shaorong and said, "You also like the Ghost Doctor?"
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and smiled brilliantly, saying, "Young Master Zhuang, you're so interesting. I've told you long ago that the Ghost Doctor and I both lie on the same bed. Just how dull are you! Even like this, you still didn't know that the Ghost Doctor and I were having an affair! "
"You're lying!"
Qi Shaorong: "…"
"I can tell that you haven't lost your virginity yet," said Zhuang Hao.
Qi Shaorong: "…"
"I can also tell that the Ghost Doctor hasn't lost his virginity either." Zhuang Hao said very seriously.
Qi Shaorong: "…" Zhuang Hao this guy, just how did his eyes grow!
Qi Shaorong's face complexion turned gloomy. Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong, and seemingly worried that Qi Shaorong was feeling so angry and ashamed that he'd do something irreparable, he added, "Fourth Young Master Qi, you're still young, you don't need to rush into a love affair [2]. You should know that whether it's for practicing magic or for fighting, preserving your chastity is very beneficial [3]."
Qi Shaorong: "…Thank you very much for reminding me."
"You're welcome." Zhuang Hao paused and said, "Can you tell me now, where's the Ghost Doctor?"
Qi Shaorong shook his head and said, "No way!"
Zhuang Hao frowned. Qi Shaorong patted Zhuang Hao's shoulders and said, "Young Master Zhuang, you're still young, there's no need to rush into a love affair. You know that whether it's for practicing magic or fighting, preserving your chastity is of great benefit. Speaking of which, Young Master Zhuang, you sure do look like a playboy. Do you still have your chastity? "
Zhuang Hao: "…You don't need to worry about this, I still have it."
Qi Shaorong nodded and said, "Oh, so it turns out that Young Master Zhuang is still like this, it's really unexpected!"
Zhuang Hao: "…"
Zhuang Hao grabbed Qi Shaorong and said, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me where the Ghost Doctor is!"
There was an oppressive pain in Qi Shaorong's head, and he blurted out, "The Ghost Doctor, he's…" Qi Shaorong became clear-headed, and took back his words at the last moment, saying, "He has gone to the flower house."
Zhuang Hao: "…"
Zhuang Hao let go, looked at Qi Shaorong's complexion, and said, "Your complexion doesn't look very good. Is there something wrong with your body?"
Qi Shaorong���s face sank and he said, "It has nothing to do with you."
Qi Shaorong clasped his hands and felt the mark that was emitting heat on the back of his hand. Some panic rose in his heart, damn it! He wasn't really contracted by Zhuang Hao as a contract beast, was he?
Zhuang Hao frowned, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
Qi Shaofu walked over and said, "Fourth Brother, Zhuang Hao, you're all here! How about we go and find a place to talk!"
Zhuang Hao glanced at Qi Shaofu, nodded, and said, "Alright."
The arrival of Qi Shaofu resolved Qi Shaorong's embarrassment. Qi Shaorong nodded and said, "Whatever."
Footnotes:
Schadenfreude: You might have heard of this before, but it just means to take satisfaction or pleasure from someone else's misfortune.
Love affair: "Wind, flowers, snow, and moon" has a lot of different meanings, one of them being a "love affair."
Chastity: Wasn't sure how else to translate this, but the original was something like "childhood body���, but that sounds kind of weird, so I went with "chastity." It pretty much means the same thing.
