It was almost noon and the temperature was already very hot.
But outside the gate of St. Orchid College, the atmosphere was so cold that one's scalp tingled and one's heart was filled with fear.
The two gangs of people from the Holy Family and the Holy Orchid Academy stood at the door, one on the west and one on the east, quietly waiting for the city lord to arrive.
Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.
A cloud of yellow sand rose from the street.
The cavalry marched forward like a giant dragon.
"Whoa—" Ye Zong moved swiftly, turned over and dismounted, and in the process put down Chang Ping, who was lying on the horse's back and retching.
Seeing Chang Ping, Shen Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
She hurriedly got out of the crowd, ran over to support the staggering Chang Ping, and asked softly with concern: "Chang Ping, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" What she didn't notice was that the eyes of the members of the Sacred Family gradually became colder.
"He is Chang Ping?"
"Look at his strong muscles. His martial arts skills are at least at the gold level. No wonder Shen Yue and the others were beaten so miserably."
"Why is Shen Xiu so close to this little beast? Has she forgotten the revenge on Shen Yue?"
Shen Hong snorted coldly: Bitch! She actually took the initiative to help this little beast, she was so ungrateful, she would see how he would punish her with family rules when he got back!
"Don't be so sympathetic, I don't need your concern." Chang Ping shook Shen Xiu off, not appreciating her kindness. She would only obey him and be gentle and considerate when she needed to be detoxified, and she would rest wherever she wanted and ignore him at other times.
This kind of old woman who "uses people forward and doesn't use them backward" should get as far away from him as possible.
Instead of leaving, Shen Xiu held Chang Ping's arm affectionately and looked at him affectionately with a dreamy look. The two snow-white mounds pressed against his strong arm muscles, and he looked like a coquettish little bird.
"Shen Xiu! What are you doing? Come back here!" Looking at the flirtatious Shen Xiu, Shen Hong's face turned ashen and his eyebrows were almost burning with anger.
Everyone from Shenglan College and Fengxue Family is watching!
Is this bitch going to disgrace their sacred family
before she stops? ! Shen Xiu ignored Shen Hong and treated his words as bullshit. She continued to flirt with Chang Ping as if she was a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off.
"Uh-huh!"
Ye Zong coughed dryly, retracted his surprised gaze, and walked to the center of the two groups of people.
He turned to face Shen Hong and asked coldly, "Shen Hong, you are so bold. Who gave you the power to surround Shenglan College?"
"My Lord City Lord, please forgive me." Shen Hong clasped his fists and bowed, a trace of resentment flashed in his eagle eyes, "My eldest son Shen Fei has not returned for several days, and my youngest son Shen Yue was murdered and became disabled. I came to Shenglan College just to find out the truth, and I have no ill intentions."
Shen Hong straightened his back, straightened his chest, pointed his sword finger at Chang Ping's head, and said, "I have found out that he is the culprit who murdered my son Shen Yue! My eldest son's disappearance is also related to him!"
"Murder?" Ye Zong sneered and asked, "How did this city lord get the news that your son Shen Yue secretly gathered hundreds of bronze warrior students from the formal class, each armed with poisoned weapons, and wanted to murder Chang Ping?"
Ye Zong turned to look at Ye Sheng and asked, "Ye Sheng, have the students involved in the attack been caught?" He did not ask the dean Gao Yuan. He knew that the old man had been living in seclusion in the trial grounds, in a semi-retired state, and was not familiar with the affairs of the academy.
"Reporting to the city lord, they have all been captured." Ye Sheng said respectfully. He turned to look at Lu Ye and ordered, "Go and bring them up quickly!"
"Yes!" Lu Ye agreed, but he was secretly unhappy in his heart.
He is a professor in the college, yet he is treated like a servant.
After all, he is the vice president!
Lu Ye sighed secretly and walked into the college.
After half an incense stick of time, all the troublemakers from the formal class of more than one hundred warriors were brought in.
"I, the City Lord, would like to ask you, was it Shen Yue who ordered you to murder Chang Ping?" Ye Zong's voice was icy and bone-chilling.
The students were so frightened that their hair stood on end. They lowered their heads and huddled together like frightened little chicks.
Shen Hong said sinisterly: "Just answer whatever the city lord asks you. Don't say the wrong thing, or you may lose your life."
All the students were startled.
If they betray Shen Yue and offend the Sacred Family, they will definitely be retaliated against.
"Shut up!" Ye Zong turned his head and glared at Shen Hong, scolding him harshly.
Shen Hong snorted coldly and clenched his fists in his wide sleeves.
He is the patriarch of the sacred family, yet he is scolded like a dog. It is totally unreasonable.
Ye Zong, you can't be so arrogant for many more days. The day the Demon Lord comes out of seclusion will be the day you'll be beheaded.
"Speak!" Ye Zong turned around to look at the students and ordered in a serious manner, "If you tell the truth, you will be forgiven. If you don't speak or tell lies, you will all be expelled from the school and sent to work as laborers in the Beishan Mine. I will give you three breaths to think about it." Ye Zong raised three fingers.
Beishan Mine?
The students' faces turned pale when they heard this.
This place is where the most vicious criminals in the City of Light gather. If these tender little lambs are sent there, there is no chance of them coming out alive.
"Report to the City Lord, it was Shen Yue who asked us to do this!"
"Yesterday he gave us 500 demon spirit coins each and asked us to surround and kill Chang Ping. Shen Yue said that whoever can chop off Chang Ping's head will be rewarded with 1 million demon spirit coins."
"It was Shen Yue who instructed us to do this."
"It's all our fault that we were blinded by money. We are young and ignorant. Please forgive us, Lord."
The students dumped out everything in one go.
"I testify that they were the ones who took the initiative to attack Chang Ping, and Chang Ping had no choice but to fight back." A charming voice sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Huyan Lanruo who was speaking.
Chang Ping was delighted. He didn't expect Huyan Lanruo to take the initiative to stand up and speak for him.
You must know that the Sacred Family is a top family. If the Huyan Family offends them, they will definitely be suppressed.
"They also brought poisoned weapons and wanted to kill Chang Ping." Huyan Lanruo took out the weapon dropped by the masked man from the space ring, activated her soul power, and sent it to Ye Zong through the air.
Ye Zong turned to look at Shen Hong and asked, "We have all the evidence, what else do you have to say?"
"I have nothing to say." Shen Hong's face looked as ugly as if his father had died. He pretended to be enlightened and said, "So this is the truth of the matter. Damn it! Shen Yue was so bold that he dared to gather a crowd to hurt people in Shenglan College. He deserved to be killed."
"Dean Gao Yuan, I was confused for a moment and I apologize for offending you just now." Shen Hong clasped his fists and bowed to Gao Yuan.
As the saying goes, there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood. They are in the wrong today, and I will find a chance to settle the score with them later.
Shen Hong glanced at the crowd of students in the formal class.
You dare to betray our sacred family. Well, you have already received your death.
Gao Yuan snorted coldly and did not accept Shen Hong's apology.
"Goodbye!" Shen Hong straightened up and led his tribesmen to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Ye Zong called Shen Hong, "I have another question to ask you!"
