"I've made myself very clear." Fang Ye fiddled with the things in his hand, not even looking at Feng Muze when he spoke. "As long as you don't get involved, this won't really happen to me."
Feng Muze frowned with worry.
I wanted to persuade her, but seeing her indifferent look, I knew it was useless to persuade her.
The Fang Ye of today is no longer the same Fang Ye as before.
Compared to the disputes here, Bai Suning's side seems much more harmonious.
After Jiang Niyun successfully spread the rumor, she took credit for it in front of Bai Suning, very proudly saying, "If I hadn't been here this time, your work wouldn't have gone so well."
"Yes, yes, thank you Miss Jiang." Bai Suning joked with her.
"Fang Ye is very smart. Will she see through your little trick?" Cang Qing suddenly spoke, as cold and indifferent as ever, and spoke very rationally.
"She'll definitely be able to see through it and tell Feng Muze to leave her alone." Bai Suning said her own guesses and predictions, analyzing it based on human nature. "But Feng Muze is very indifferent to everyone, except for his junior sister, who he cares deeply about."
"If we pass on a little more, the punishment will be severe. Feng Muze will not discuss it with Fang Ye anymore and will accept the punishment himself."
"By then, it won't matter whether he did it or not. All I want is to clear myself of suspicion."
After hearing this, Cang Qing was no longer worried.
Bai Suning is a very smart girl.
Jiang Niyun still didn't quite understand, her frown showing her bewilderment and confusion: "But I heard before that Feng Muze and Fang Ye have a very good relationship, and Feng Muze almost listens to Fang Ye in everything."
"That's true, but when Fang Ye might be in danger, Feng Muze will only think about protecting her." Bai Suning explained.
Jiang Niyun understood.
It wasn't long before the punishment results were announced.
When he heard the severe punishment, Feng Muzhe finally couldn't sit still anymore.
He went directly to the attic room where the dean was and knocked on the door: "Knock knock."
"Come in." The dean's voice came.
Feng Muze pushed the door open and walked in.
When he saw the busy dean, he frowned seriously.
When the dean saw that it was him, he stopped what he was doing and asked with some confusion, "Feng Muze? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"I just heard that anyone who kills the silver snake will be punished by the academy and locked up in a small dark room for a month without food or drink?" Feng Muzhe first asked about the truth of this.
With their current level of cultivation, they might be able to endure going without food or water for a few days.
But one month...
I'm afraid that the spiritual power will be depleted to almost nothing.
Not to mention it was a completely enclosed small dark room.
"This is just a tentative agreement." The dean didn't make his statement final, leaving room for argument later. "The specific punishment hasn't been decided yet, but the more you admit it, the lighter the punishment will be."
Feng Muze hesitated.
The dean asked him again, "We haven't announced this yet. How did you know about this?"
"I heard it from someone by chance." Feng Muzhe said casually, looking at the dean with a complicated look, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
The dean nodded and said casually, "Don't listen to the rumors outside. Some people believe everything they hear. Just focus on your cultivation."
Feng Muze didn't say anything.
He was wondering whether to admit it now or wait until the truth was revealed before standing up for his junior sister.
If he admitted it now, what if it was just rumors? But if he admitted it later, he was afraid that by then the elders would have gathered enough evidence, and it would be difficult for him to take the blame for his junior sister.
"Is there anything else?" The dean asked again when he saw that he had not left.
"Do you need my help investigating this matter?" Feng Muze took a different approach. He was the one who was looking for information he wanted to know. "When I was in Chixiao Tower, I helped the owner investigate many things. Maybe I can help the academy find the real culprit sooner."
"No need. You won't be able to find out anything by investigating this matter." The dean refused flatly, pretending not to know his subtle thoughts. "The elders have to use special methods to find out who the spiritual power belongs to. The process is quite tedious. You just need to cooperate well from now on."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Feng Muze frowned and asked uncertainly, "Can you tell me who the spiritual power belongs to?"
"Yes," the dean smiled, somewhat relieved. "It's just that the process is rather complicated and requires too many things, which is why it hasn't been promoted in mainland China."
Hearing this, Feng Muzhe hesitated for a moment.
If this is true, then Junior Sister will definitely not be able to escape.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. The elders and the instructors can handle it." The dean said with a smile, comforting him a few words, "Just practice well."
"Dean, actually..." Feng Muzhe was about to admit it.
So as to avoid wasting so much time and manpower.
By then, the elders might become even more upset because of the huge amount of resources consumed.
“Senior Brother!”
Fang Ye's voice came.
Feng Muze looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fang Ye in white clothes walking in from outside, his face as cold as ever.
A different expression flashed across the dean's eyes.
"Dean." Fang Ye nodded and saluted the dean. After that, he looked at Feng Muze and said in a gentle tone, "I've been looking for you for a long time. How come I'm here?"
Feng Muze was speechless for a moment: "I..."
The dean looked at the two of them and gave them a way out: "If you have anything to do, go ahead and do it. I don't need any help with the Silver Snake. Just focus on your cultivation."
"Okay." Fang Ye agreed.
Feng Muzhe hesitated and then nodded.
The two walked out of the attic where the dean was, and Fang Ye's face suddenly turned cold.
Feng Muze knew she was angry, and quickly spoke to comfort her: "I'm not..."
"Didn't I tell you before not to get involved in this matter?" Fang Ye questioned him, looking at him with a cold look, "Why didn't you listen?"
This person almost said it just now.
Wouldn't he fall into Bai Suning's trap again then?
"It's not that I don't want to listen, I'm just afraid that you'll be punished." Feng Muze confessed truthfully. He really didn't want Fang Ye to get into trouble. "Besides, if I can handle this matter myself, you don't have to worry about it."
"No need." Fang Ye refused bluntly.
She doesn't like things to be out of her control.
Feng Muze was in a complicated mood. After looking at Fang Ye's cold expression, he finally spoke: "The dean just told me that they have a special way to find out the source of the silver snake's spiritual power. If they really find out it's you, then..."
