Chapter 398: The Dust Settles Down
Ye Fei raised her hand to look and found that it wasn't her fingers that were burning, but the Burning Heaven Fire Glass Ring on her fingers that was burning!
A bad feeling filled Ye Fei's heart. Could it be that something had happened to Li Yuan?!
After a while, the burning sensation on the Burning Heaven Fire Glass Ring gradually disappeared.
Ye Fei reached out her finger to the ring and gently stroked it, a hint of unease creeping into her eyes.
Time flew by, and eight days passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Fei still hadn't seen the figure in black appear as she had hoped.
"Little Fei'er? Little Fei'er!"
The Seventh Elder raised her hand and waved it in front of Ye Fei a few times. Ye Fei snapped out of her daze and blinked, "Huh? Sorry, I was just spacing out... What are you talking about, sister?"
"The investigation into the Dream Butterfly Powder matter is almost complete. Based on the information you and Rong Yu provided, the academy has temporarily detained Nan Yan Ting Rong in the prison cell." The Seventh Elder swirled the tea in his white jade cup and then turned his gaze to Ye Fei: "I didn't expect you to have a relationship with the ruler of the demon realm. However, it's quite amazing that the ruler of the demon realm, who dislikes humans, could be on good terms with you."
"Also, it's a miracle that you kids escaped the beast tide!" The Seventh Elder rubbed Ye Fei's head, sighed softly, and then said seriously, "It's fortunate that you're all alright, otherwise I would definitely fight Nan Yan and Ting Rong to the death!"
Ye Fei raised her eyes and met the Seventh Elder's gaze: "Sister, how many people know that I have a relationship with Chi Ye?"
The Seventh Elder knew what she was worried about and said with a smile, "Besides you and me, only the elders in the academy know about this. Don't worry, this matter won't be spread."
"What about Nan Yan Ting Rong? What punishment will she receive?" Ye Fei asked again.
Mentioning Nan Yan Tingrong, the Seventh Elder's eyes darkened: "Possessing Dream Butterfly Powder is a serious crime. Although she did not release the Dream Butterfly Powder at Panlong Peak this time, the other bottle of Dream Butterfly Powder she handed over to others still triggered a beast tide, causing dozens of students to lose their lives. Her crime has been established. Being forced to withdraw from school is only a minor matter. She may also face punishments such as being expelled from the family and being demoted to the border."
"In addition, Nan Yan heard that Rong Rong and Rong Yu were engaged. It is said that Rong Yu asked the Emperor to break off the engagement because of this. The Emperor would naturally not allow his son to marry a criminal, so the marriage was resolved."
Ye Fei fell silent.
According to Huang Rongyu, Nan Yan heard Rong confess in the prison cell that she had cooperated with Ye Ning. She blamed Ye Ning for the beast tide and pointed the finger at the Ye family.
But now that Ye Ning is dead, there is no way to verify the truth. Ye Jingyao also refuses to admit that Ye Ning had ever discussed cooperation with Nan Yan Tingrong. He only claims that his beloved daughter died in this undeserved disaster and that the Nan Yan family must pay a terrible price for it.
Now that things have come to this, Nan Yan Ting Rong, who harbored the idea of ​​perishing together with the Ye family, has really dug herself into a mess.
Ye Fei gently stroked the rim of the teacup, her lips pressed tightly together.
Nan Yan didn't care what would become of Rong in the future.
All she cares about now is Li Yuan, who has yet to return.
Seeing that Ye Fei seemed distracted, the Seventh Elder smiled and said, "Worried about Xiao Li? Don't worry, since he has urgent business to attend to, let him handle it himself."
Ye Fei asked curiously, "Sister, aren't you worried?"
"That kid is used to doing things his own way, there's nothing I can do about him."
The Seventh Elder spread her hands and sighed, "Although I've never asked him about it, he must have his reasons for not telling me. As for me, I will definitely choose to believe my disciple without hesitation, won't I?"
