Now that their two strongest players are injured, it's best for them to leave sooner rather than later.

They could just pack up and go.

Niu Chuanchuan packed his bags, carrying Shang Yanting, who was wrapped in a black robe, on his back.

Qu Tingting and Qu Changxi went to the inn to settle their bill.

However, they were soon surrounded.

Qu Changxi shielded Qu Tingting behind him, "Gentlemen, what do you want to do?"

Where are your companions?

They came for Shang Yanting.

"I wonder what business you have with my companion? Please feel free to tell me. I am a teacher at Dingtian Academy, and also the younger brother of Dean Qu Haifeng."

Qu Changxi looked at the group of menacing and ill-intentioned people and revealed his identity, hoping to make them wary.

"Since you are a young master from Dingtian Academy, then please hand over the other two with the young lady. If you hand them over, I will spare your lives."

This identity is indeed frightening, but he is facing someone who has a deep grudge against Shang Yanting.

—Two mid-stage Martial Grandmasters who nearly died while fighting for weapons amidst the flames, barely escaping with their lives.

The two had already started paying attention to them when Niu Chuanchuan carried Shang Yanting back. After several more days of investigation, it became clear that Shang Yanting was in a coma and wouldn't wake up, like a tiger with its teeth pulled.

They believe that there must be some extraordinary treasure hidden beneath Sun Moon Lake.

Since no one benefited, the only suspect who obtained the treasure is Shang Yanting, who is located in the very center of the pool.

What do the aristocratic families of Dingtian Academy care about the treasure?

If you don't pay, nobody will see you today.

I want to step out of this door!
