In response to the teacher's questioning, Frey looked helpless, "Teacher, I'm also perplexed as to why you've been chasing me. I'm also looking for my junior fellow too!"
Zhu Rong hesitated for a moment, expressing puzzled looks from the others around him. However, Frey appeared to stay calm and collected, as if he genuinely had no idea where Ji Dong had gone.
Director Shui, standing not far behind principal Ji Mingxuan, sternly said in a low voice, "Frey, stop pretending. Someone saw you take Ji Dong out of the academy. Ji Dong's killing of Yi Feng during the duel is a serious matter. If you continue covering for him, you will be severely punished by the academy."
Zhu Rong turned back abruptly, glared at Director Shui and said, "Old Rascal Shui, what do you mean? Until the situation is clarified, it's too early to configure who's right and who's wrong."
