This matter will be exposed sooner or later, but since someone is putting fat meat right at her doorstep, Miss Mu will of course take a bite, and a big bite!
…
"Brother Pang, why don't you let me ask further?" After turning around the cliff and waiting for Pang Dezong to take out some alchemical tools and set up a soundproof barrier, Duan Tianya asked.
"Brother Duan, please be patient. Let's first find out what's going on." Pang Dezong said to Duan Tianya in a calm manner.
Soon, the two learned the truth of the matter from Wu Qiyun and others.
"I never thought that Qu Fengting, a descendant of a famous family, would do such a thing that angers heaven and man. We will make the matter public now, and then cut Qu Fengting into pieces to comfort the souls of these young swordsmen in heaven." After hearing their words, Duan Tianya was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He turned around and walked out.
"Wait, Brother Duan, in my opinion, we should consider this matter in the long term." Pang Dezong grabbed Duan Tianya.
"What? Do you mean to let this person go?" Duan Tianya looked at Pang Dezong angrily.
"Of course we can't let him go, but even if you make this matter public, how are we at Zhengying Academy going to explain the matter of the Qiongqi remains and Xia Youchen?" Pang Dezong asked back.
"What should we do then?" Duan Tianya's heart trembled when he heard this and asked Pang Dezong.
He also knew that Zhengying Academy could not give a reasonable explanation for such a huge negligence, which lasted for nearly ten thousand years.
"The best plan for now is to keep this matter secret for now. All the injured will be compensated generously. Anyone who participated in the battle in the temple will be compensated double. If you are willing, you can directly join our Zhengying Academy in the future. The only condition is that you must not reveal a single word to anyone about what happened in the Valley of Strange Beasts this time." Pang Dezong said firmly.
"Then, what about those who died?" Although Duan Tianya didn't want to hide the truth against his conscience, he also knew that the method he said was actually the best. However, no matter how he thought about it, he felt sorry for those swordsmen who died unjustly, so he said in a muffled voice.
"Those people also need compensation, but it certainly cannot be paid by our Zhengying Academy. It should be paid by the Qu family. Apart from that, other children in their family can directly join our Zhengying Academy as long as they are willing. I think, as long as the compensation given by the Qu family is heavy enough, coupled with the promise of our Zhengying Academy, they should help us keep the secret." Pang Dezong said with a sneer.
Duan Tianya fell silent. These young swordsmen came to participate in the trial just to join Zhengying Academy. With such conditions and the heavy compensation from the Qu family, those families would most likely keep quiet as Pang Dezong expected.
However, using such means to conceal the truth is really inconsistent with his character.
"No, if we do this, wouldn't it be equivalent to shielding that shameless Qu Fengting? How can we be worthy of the academy's thousand-year reputation, and how can we be worthy of our conscience? The consequences of this matter will be borne solely by me, Duan Tianya. I must make the truth of the matter public and never let Qu Fengting go unpunished." After hesitating for a moment, Duan Tianya finally couldn't get over this and said firmly.
"Hmph, you take responsibility, can you afford it?" Pang Dezong sneered, took out a token, and said to Duan Tianya, "When the dean was in seclusion, he temporarily handed the token to me. All the affairs of the academy are under my control. You just have to obey my orders."
