Chapter 269 You Can’t Go

"Okay, okay, Elder, please feel free to walk around. We won't disturb you. But if you need anything, you can tell us." Zhuge Youlin agreed on the surface, but he knew in his heart that the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall came back just to catch them fighting. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough.

The corner of the Law Enforcement Hall elder's mouth twitched, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he waved his sleeves.

"This elder has finished his tour!"

After saying that, he strode out of Juling Peak with big strides.

It feels like a desperate escape.

"Come back after the competition." Chen Yan raised his eyes and looked at Zhuge Youlin and the other two.

"Okay." Xiao Zechuan immediately pushed Zhuge Youlin and Chi Yue away, causing them to stagger.

Zhuge Youlin was immediately furious.

Chi Yue was still ready to attack the two of them, and the vines had already emerged, but suddenly he heard a sound of Chen Yan.

"Chi Yue, come back."

The vines that emerged swayed a few times and then shrank back, and Chi Yue looked in the direction of Chen Yan. His expression was still cold, but without the murderous intent and impatience.

After calling back Xiao Zechuan and the other two.

Chi Yue sat on the bed, he looked a little drowsy.

Chen Yan sat down again, his eyes swept over the three people covered in wounds, and finally fixed his eyes on Chi Yue, and asked: "Chi Yue, do you want to go out with us tomorrow?"

Chi Yue raised his head, and seemed to have regained some energy. His eyes were clear and his lips slightly parted: "My father will come to see me tomorrow."

Chen Yan said, "Okay, everyone will do their own things tomorrow and meet whoever they want to meet. Starting the day after tomorrow, we will train together."

"Where is Wu Su?" Yu Changying raised his eyebrows.

Chen Yan paused for a moment, "If he has nothing to do, he can come with us."

…

The other side.

Sijing Pavilion of Western Region College.

"Student Pei Wusu greets the dean." A young man with ordinary looks raised his hand and bowed to the man with white hair and a youthful face standing in front of him.

Dean Xuanyun turned around slowly, his expression indifferent, and casually set up a barrier, then said to Pei Wusu: "Sit down."

Pei Wu Su nodded in agreement.

He sat properly on the chair on the left, yet he was graceful and decent, with an aristocratic demeanor. He had long noticed that there was no one else in Sijing Pavilion except him and the dean.

Pei Wusu's heart was beating faster for some reason. He looked up at the respected dean and couldn't help but ask, "Dean, why did you call me here?"

"Pei Su."

The dean's call made Pei Wusu's face suddenly tense.

Then, Dean Xuanyun sighed softly, mixed with a bit of sadness and helplessness. He looked at the young man in front of him with complicated eyes. He could see the young man's true appearance clearly.

"Pei Su, you can't go to the Central Region."

The young man's face changed slightly, and he stood up suddenly. It was difficult for him to maintain his calm expression, and he said anxiously: "Dean, why? This time when I go to the Central Region, I will be very careful and will never reveal my identity. I can't lose this opportunity!"

Dean Xuanyun said solemnly, "Pei Su, if your identity is exposed in advance, do you know how much trouble it will cause? Although you have reached the Heavenly Grade Realm now, your enemies are stronger than you think, and their number and power are huge. This is not a trifling matter. A strong person with a cultivation base of the fifth level of the Heavenly Grade Realm or above can easily see through your disguise. The possibility of your identity being exposed is too great."

"Give up this opportunity..."

The young man's eyes were determined. He interrupted in a deep voice: "Dean, if my face can be recognized, then I can destroy it!"

Hearing these words, Dean Xuanyun was shocked. He looked at the young man with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but stopping himself. After a few seconds, he walked towards the young man.

He put his hand on the boy's shoulder and said earnestly, "Pei Su, don't mention the disfigurement anymore. I know you want to be stronger and want opportunities, but have you ever thought that once your identity is exposed, it will bring danger to the Western Region Academy and the people around you, such as... the Shura Squad."

The boy's face turned pale.

Dean Xuanyun felt uncomfortable seeing him like this. He admitted that he let Pei Su lose the opportunity for the sake of the overall situation.

He pursed his lips and said in a soft voice, "Quit the Shura Team temporarily. I will have someone take your place temporarily. I have a few missions here that are very suitable for you to practice. Also, I know a great sword cultivator. I can recommend you to him as a disciple. That great sword cultivator is in the East Region. With your talent, you can grow into a powerful warrior in two or three years..."

The young man lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

His hands clenched at his sides.

After hearing what Dean Xuanyun said, his clenched fists gradually loosened, and he looked extremely helpless, and as if he had compromised.

The young man looked up and smiled desolately.

"Dean, I listen to you."

…

When Pei Wusu left Sijing Pavilion, he took a letter of recommendation, a token, and several task lists. He put these things back into the storage space. He looked up at the sun above the sky and found it particularly dazzling.

The bloody scene that appeared in his mind made his heart ache suddenly.

Yes, he can't implicate others.

At least, don't let the Western Region Academy suffer the same fate as the Tianfang Sect.

This is the best ending, isn't it?

Why does he feel a little sad?

Pei Wu Su lowered his eyes to avoid the scorching sun, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly. The reason for his sadness was probably that his identity could not be made public, and he had to hide it at all times. If his identity was exposed, he would be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat him.

His former best friend chose to betray him because of his identity.

The blood feud weighed heavily on his shoulders, making it impossible for him to move forward lightly, and he could only move forward with a heavy load.

The figures of Chen Yan and others flashed through his mind.

They should also be afraid of getting into big trouble like him, right?

Thinking of this, Pei Wu Su smiled.

However, this smile revealed his mockery of himself and an unspeakable bitterness.

When he returned to Juling Peak, he saw Xiao Zechuan and Zhuge Youlin repairing the cave gate, while Chen Yan and others had returned to their respective bridal chambers.

Zhuge Youlin caught a glimpse of Pei Wusu from the corner of his eye and immediately waved at him.

"Pei Wusu, you're back!"

"Hey, what did the dean say to you? Did he secretly give you special treatment?" Zhuge Youlin winked at Pei Wusu.

Pei Wusu looked indifferent: "No."

Before Zhuge Youlin could speak again, he saw Pei Wusu going straight back to his residence.

Zhuge Youlin was slightly stunned. "Did the dean punish him? He seemed very unhappy."

Xiao Zechuan's eyes deepened slightly, and he looked thoughtfully at the place where Pei Wusu lived.
