Tang Thirty-Six came a little late.
He had gone back to the house to get a sword and then detoured through quiet corridors and the sea of bamboo, so by the time he got to the forest, it was already packed with people.
The raspberry bushes were in a terrible state from having been stepped on. On the snow, surrounded by the crowd, was Bishop Mei Chuan's corpse, as well as a few striking bloodstains.
Upon seeing this sight, he very naturally put away the Wenshui Sword and asked a teacher, "What's going on here?"
The teacher had a pale complexion as he said in a shaky voice, "I heard that the education overseer disrespected the Holy Maiden… so…"
Tang Thirty-Six was startled for a moment. He did not know that Xu Yourong had also come to the Orthodox Academy, and he certainly had not expected her to kill Mei Chuan.
He asked, "And the Holy Maiden?"
