"Are you...are you alright?"
Wu Manman asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing serious, but I need to rest," Ye Qiu said. "Let's go back to the academy."
"Okay, we'll go back right away," Wu Manman said hurriedly.
"Don't help me, I want to walk back. I can't let anyone know I'm so weak right now."
Ye Qiu pushed away Wu Manman and the Imperial Tutor's Consort.
The two women immediately understood and were both very saddened.
Wu Manman, in particular, instantly understood Ye Qiu's intention.
If people know that he is weak, it will send a signal to some people with ulterior motives, which may lead to unnecessary trouble.
What outsiders would see is Ye Qiu, who remains as calm as Mount Tai even after killing Yang Ji.
From then on, as long as Ye Qiu was around, no one would dare to cause trouble for the Jiedao Academy.
Not far away, Zhang Qianqian saw Ye Qiu about to leave and hurriedly ran up to him: "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Ye Qiu said. "By the way, I need to trouble you with something. Go back to Tongcheng Academy now and spread a message for me: everyone in Tongcheng Academy who participated in the plot to kill the Master of Jiedao Academy must die."
Zhang Qianqian was startled: "You really want to kill them all?"
"No, we're just spreading rumors to scare away some of the higher-ups and undermine their confidence."
"After that, I will go to Tongcheng Academy and make a request to give back to Jiedao Academy. I want Jiedao Academy to grow stronger in one fell swoop, otherwise this battle will have been fought in vain," Ye Qiu said solemnly.
"I understand, don't worry, I know what to do," Zhang Qianqian said.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble. I'll head back to the Jiedao Academy now."
Ye Qiu smiled and walked away.
"Boss, wait for me."
Tian Hao hurriedly followed.
...
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The news that Yang Ji and Chang Wei had been brutally killed by Ye Qiu quickly spread throughout Tongcheng, causing a huge uproar.
Countless people were in an uproar, utterly shocked by this explosive news.
Countless people rushed to the prefectural government office overnight, and after seeing the scene with their own eyes, they confirmed the news.
Prefect Tian Gao was seething with anger, so he ordered his men to carry Yang Ji and Chang Wei's bodies outside the gate, and assigned people to guard them and take pictures.
As more and more people arrived, the government office became lively and bustling with noise.
"Prefect Tian, was Ye Qiu really the one who killed him?" someone asked loudly.
"Yes." Tian Gao said loudly with absolute certainty, "Everyone, it was indeed Young Master Ye who killed him, because Yang Ji and Chang Wei conspired to kill Wu Daofeng of the Daoist Academy."
It is worth mentioning that the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice came to Tongcheng this time to solve the case of Yang Ji murdering Wu Daofeng and imprisoning Zhou Zhan's wife from that year.
But neither Young Master Ye nor I expected that Yang Long, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was actually Yang Ji's nephew. The two of them huffed and puffed, insulting Young Master Ye. When Young Master Ye was exposed, he killed both Yang Ji and Chang Wei.
There is another secret I want to tell you: Zhou Zhan was actually killed by Yang Ji back then, and Zhou Zhan's wife, the Imperial Tutor Consort, has been imprisoned and tortured by Yang Ji all these years.
We have substantial evidence for all of this, and Mr. Ye will likely release some evidence later, at which time everyone will be able to know the truth.
In one breath, Tian Gao revealed the whole story to the public, causing a huge uproar.
"As expected, Palace Master Wu of the Jiedao Academy was killed by Yang Ji."
"That damned Yang Ji must have seen Ye Shen's rise and the Jiedao Academy's rise as well, so he wanted to suppress the Jiedao Academy."
"Ye Shen is really fierce. He single-handedly wiped out Yang Ji and Chang Wei. That's terrifying."
The crowd was in an uproar; everyone was incredulous.
...
On the other side, as soon as Ye Qiu returned to the Jiedao Academy, he went to his room, lay down, and closed his eyes to rest.
Although he killed Yang Ji and Chang Wei in this battle, he also suffered heavy losses.
The Imperial Tutor's Consort and Wu Manman stood guard to the side, fearing that something might happen to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu told them to leave, but the two women wouldn't listen, leaving Ye Qiu quite helpless.
About ten minutes later, chaotic light shone from Ye Qiu's body, slowly forming a vortex.
After the vortex was formed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured in like a rushing river, and was devoured by Ye Qiu.
The Imperial Tutor's Consort and Wu Manman were both so shocked by what they saw that their mouths were agape.
They had never seen anyone devour spiritual energy so readily while asleep.
"Sister Manman, I think we should go outside and keep watch to prevent any bad guys from getting close," the Imperial Tutor's Consort whispered.
"good."
The two women immediately went out and stood guard outside.
But in fact, Tian Hao, Zhang Dekao, and Gu Si were also guarding the outside.
"Teacher Manman, is Brother Ye alright? What was that noise?"
Gu Si asked hurriedly.
"He's absorbing spiritual energy to recover," Wu Manman said seriously. "Go to the entrance of the academy and don't let anyone in."
"good."
Gu Si immediately nodded, then pulled Zhang Dekao and Tian Hao along and ran towards the entrance of the academy.
Wu Manman turned around and looked at the spiritual energy falling from the rooftop, which resembled a vast celestial river. She couldn't help but gasp: "No wonder he could kill Yang Ji despite being above his cultivation level. He's too monstrous."
"He probably paid a heavy price for killing Yang Ji, but he just didn't want us to know that killing an enemy against a higher realm is definitely not easy."
"Imperial Tutor's Consort said through gritted teeth."
“No matter what, killing Yang Ji is a good thing. He can recover slowly, and I will take good care of him,” Wu Manman said.
“I can do that too,” the Imperial Tutor’s wife hurriedly replied.
"Hmm?" Wu Manman glanced at the Imperial Tutor's Consort, her heart filled with anxiety, but she had to remain calm on the surface and smiled, "Sister Tutor's Consort, it's true that he helped you, but you also helped him, so you two are even."
So neither of you needs to be grateful to the other. You each have your own path to walk, so you don't need to worry about anything, it's okay.
“You’re wrong,” said the Imperial Tutor’s Consort. “He did more than just help me; he gave me a second chance at life. I would do anything to repay him.”
Furthermore, I will pass on my family's dragon-seeking technique to him; only he is worthy of this unparalleled skill.
"Dragon-seeking technique?" Wu Manman was instantly shocked: "You're actually from a family of dragon-seekers?"
"Otherwise what?" The Imperial Tutor's wife smiled and said, "Do you think there are many people with the surname Di?"
Yang Ji hasn't killed me for many years, what do you think his motives are?
*Smack*
Wu Manman slapped her forehead, finally understanding: "So that's how it is! But the Dragon-Seeking Technique is a closely guarded secret of your Dragon-Seeking Clan, how could you..."
“Because he deserves it.” The Imperial Tutor’s wife said, “He knew I had the art of finding dragons, but he never asked me about it from beginning to end, not even once.”
Moreover, Ye Qiu's willingness to challenge Yang Ji and the Vice Minister of Justice alone to avenge the academy demonstrates a character and conduct far beyond what the Dragon Seeking Technique could hope to achieve.
"this..."
Wu Manman wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it.
The art of dragon divination is an unparalleled and extraordinary skill with numerous miraculous applications.
If Ye Qiu could obtain this technique, he would be able to thrive and progress much faster.
Therefore, even though she really didn't want the Imperial Tutor's wife to get close to Ye Qiu, Wu Manman had no choice but to keep quiet.
