Time flies, and dawn breaks in the blink of an eye.
As daylight arrived, the events at the Jiedao Academy quickly spread throughout Tongcheng, causing a sensation.
No one expected that the Jiedao Academy, which was about to start recruiting students yesterday due to the huge buzz brought by Ye Qiu's victory, would hear the news of its master's murder early this morning.
Many people came specifically to see it, and were shocked to find that it wasn't a rumor.
Subsequently, these people took photos and videos at the scene, further spreading the news.
The news that all the students and teachers of Jiedao Academy had run away was also spread, causing even greater public interest.
'Damn, is Leaf God really that miserable?'
'What a pity for Ye Shen.'
'Is Ye Shen leaving too?'
Online, countless people who follow Ye Qiu can't help but become curious about his movements.
For them, it didn't matter who died; what mattered was where Ye Qiu was going.
Because in everyone's eyes, with the death of the head of the Jiedao Academy and the departure of all the students and teachers, the academy would most likely be unable to continue operating.
The Jiedao Academy has remained silent on these issues and has not responded.
It wasn't until 2 PM that Long Yue found Ye Qiu.
"Something's up," Long Yue whispered.
"Let's talk over there."
"Yes." Long Yue nodded seriously.
Ye Qiu then looked at Wu Manman, who was standing guard in the mourning hall, and said softly, "Long Yue and I are going over there to talk about something."
"Go ahead."
Wu Manman's eyes were red and swollen, and her overall energy and spirits were extremely low.
Ye Qiu patted Wu Manman on the shoulder and walked out of the mourning hall with Long Yue, arriving at a deserted corner.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ye Qiu asked.
"I saw Chang Wei, the Third Elder of Tongcheng Academy. He was wearing a mask. He first went to see the First Elder and talked for a while. In the end, the First Elder got furious and drove him away."
But then, Chang Wei went to see the other four elders in succession, and it seemed that they had a very good talk with them. I'm sure they have a conspiracy.
Long Yue's expression was serious.
"Chang Wei came to speak privately with the elders, which must be because he wanted to merge the Jiedao Academy. Sure enough, it was Tongcheng Academy that was causing trouble. Of the five elders now, only the First Elder can be trusted."
"By the way, where is the Grand Elder now? We must go find him immediately."
"He's under the dragon-shaped tree in the backyard. It's said that he and the old palace master reached an agreement under that ancient tree to establish the Jiedao Academy," Long Yue said.
"Okay, let's go find him."
Ye Qiu immediately set off, and Long Yue followed closely behind.
A moment later, the two arrived at the Dragon Coil Tree.
Before he could even get close, Ye Qiu saw the Grand Elder lying in a pool of blood.
"Oh no."
Ye Qiu quickly approached, crouched down to check, and found that the Grand Elder had already passed away.
Long Yue covered her mouth, her face pale: "Why did this happen?"
The Jiedao Academy was already in dire straits, and now even the only elder who remained loyal to the academy has died.
What should be done about the Jiedao Academy in the future?
At this moment, even Long Yue felt somewhat confused.
Ye Qiu, with a heavy heart, carefully examined the wounds on the Grand Elder's body.
A few minutes later, Ye Qiu angrily slammed his fist into the ground: "Damn it, it could actually be them."
"Ye Qiu, what's wrong?" Long Yue asked hurriedly.
"The Grand Elder's injuries were not caused by one person, but by four different spells. If nothing unexpected happens, it was the other four elders who joined forces to kill the Grand Elder."
Ye Qiu gritted his teeth and said.
"how so?"
Long Yue gasped, her scalp tingling.
"They would do this because the Grand Elder blocked their path, so they killed the Grand Elder. It seems that all four elders have betrayed the sect at the same time and reached a cooperation agreement with Tongcheng Academy."
"Long Yue, you still need to figure out a way to put on an act. I need to have a meeting with them, and I'll capture and kill these four people at the meeting." Ye Qiu said menacingly.
"this..."
Long Yue lowered her head, her expression shifting unpredictably.
"What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Ye Qiu asked.
“It was already very simple, but now that the Grand Elder is dead, it’s like adding insult to injury, so I… I’m afraid I can’t join you in the rebellion.” Long Yue’s voice became very low: “After my parents heard about what happened at the academy, they’ve called me more than a dozen times since this morning, urging me to go back.”
I...I feel that I should listen to them and go home to be with them, so I'm sorry.
Just think of me as being scared. I really am scared, extremely terrified. Please forgive my selfishness...
After hearing Long Yue's words, Ye Qiu smiled bitterly to himself.
He had assumed that Long Yue would hold out until the very end.
Unexpectedly, Long Yue gave up so quickly.
"Go, I don't blame you. I think Wu Manman won't blame you either. Go live the life you want," Ye Qiu said softly.
"I'm sorry, I'll be going now."
Long Yue turned and left, crying as she ran away.
Ye Qiu watched Long Yue's departing figure and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
When disaster strikes, will everyone ultimately have to go their separate ways?
I hope you won't regret it later.
After muttering something to himself, Ye Qiu made a phone call to have someone come and handle the Grand Elder's funeral arrangements.
Three hours later, the Grand Elder's mourning hall was finally set up.
At this moment, Ye Qiu found Wu Manman and told her that Long Yue had left.
But Wu Manman's reaction was beyond Ye Qiu's expectations. He was only slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down and said, "I had already expected it."
"Wasn't she your best friend? She left at this crucial moment, do you blame her?"
