Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou returned to school, but found that the school gate was blocked.

There was a group of people standing at the gate of Penglai University, with several pieces of clothing placed on the ground, as if they were paying tribute to the dead.

In addition to these people, there was also a group of reporters hiding in the crowd, taking pictures and recording quickly.

"I beg the leaders of Penglai University to make a decision for my son."

"I beg the leaders of Penglai University to have mercy on us orphans and widows."

"I beg the leaders of Penglai University to give us justice. My son Wang He was killed by the demon king, and his body has not been found. He has never been able to rest in peace."

"My son Chen Jiaqing was also killed by the Demon King. Everyone says that the Demon King only kills demon cultivators, but have any of you seen it with your own eyes? My son is clearly not a demon cultivator. Many people can testify to this, but it is a fact that he was killed by the Demon King!"

"And my daughter Zhou Ying..."

From their words, everyone realized that the purpose of these people coming here was to seek justice for their children.

"I remember Chen Jiaqing. He is a graduate of Penglai University. I heard he is a nice person, kind and generous, and he is good to his juniors."

"I also know Wang He. He is a mercenary. He has killed many demon cultivators. His record is also on the list."

"Doesn't the Demon King only kill demon cultivators? Why did Chen Jiaqing and Wang He die in his hands?"

"What else could it be? Just like their parents said, can you make sure that the Demon King has not killed innocent people in places where no one is looking?"

"Now that the family of an innocent person has come to our door, I don't believe that the Demon King is still innocent."

"Everyone, look! Zhongli Tingzhou is here."

Zhongli Tingzhou, who had his own halo, attracted attention as soon as he appeared. Even if he didn't speak, he seemed to glow automatically when he stood there, dazzling and eye-catching.

Zhongli Tingzhou seemed not to notice everyone's burning gazes, and walked into the school gate as if no one was around. Everyone involuntarily made way for him, but their mood was different. In the past, everyone admired and worshipped him, but now, in addition to awe, there were other unknown emotions.

"Zhongli Tingzhou, are you just leaving like this without giving an explanation to the victims' families?" a reporter hiding in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Like a switch, it immediately caused a chain reaction.

"That's right. If you kill their family members and don't give them an explanation, you can't justify it."

"He even kills good people. Even if many of the people he killed before were demon cultivators, he can't be said to be a good person. Chen Jiaqing and Wang He are his seniors. He even kills seniors. In my opinion, he is a demon cultivator."

"It's terrible. The genius of Penglai University turned out to be a demon cultivator who had been hiding for so long. Maybe there are many innocent people killed by him in places we don't know about."

…

Many people in the crowd were angered, and some even stared at Zhongli Tingzhou with malicious eyes.

"Everyone, please be quiet." A family member of an innocent victim suddenly spoke up.

Everyone ignored him at first and focused on attacking Zhongli Tingzhou on their own. Until she shouted several times, a kind-hearted person couldn't stand it anymore and shouted for her. The voice was so powerful that the noisy scene immediately quieted down.

"I am very grateful to everyone for speaking up for me, but please calm down. It is still unclear whether Zhongli Tingzhou is the Demon King. If he is, I hope the leaders of Penglai University can punish him severely and the Zhongli family should not cover up for him. If he is not, I don't want to wrongly accuse a good person. Thank you." After the old man finished speaking, he bent his hunched body and thanked everyone.

This scene touched the people present and also those who were watching it online.

Obviously, their son was killed by the Demon King, so they should be the saddest ones now, and they should have the most reason to be angry with Zhongli Tingzhou, but the old man turned around to comfort them.

"This is the most reasonable family member of the victim I have ever seen. They can still remain so calm. It is admirable."

"If Zhongli Tingzhou still has a conscience, he should bravely admit his mistakes."

"They say there is no evidence to prove that the Demon King is Zhongli Tingzhou. Those who want him to admit his mistakes must be mentally ill."

"I don't believe that Zhongli Tingzhou is the Demon King. Just based on a video, just because he helped Gao Han clarify things, just because he and Gao Han are friends, it's too hasty to conclude that he is the Demon King."

"From the perspective of their body shapes, the Demon King and Zhongli Tingzhou do look a bit alike."

"Yes, although there is no direct evidence, it is certain that Zhongli Tingzhou is a suspect, unless he can prove that he is not the Demon King."

…

Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at the old man who seemed very righteous and could change the atmosphere with just one sentence. He narrowed his eyes and was about to do something when Gao Han pulled him back and he shook his head at him.

The school quickly sent a leader out to speak. When everyone's attention was on the leader, Gao Han took the opportunity to pull Zhongli Tingzhou in. The reporters wanted to block them, but none of them were as fast as Gao Han.

The video of the leader comforting the family of the innocent victim and publicly promising to get to the bottom of the matter quickly went viral on the Internet.

"What do you think about this?"

A group of leaders sat in the conference room and watched the morning video again. After the principal turned it off, he asked everyone for their opinions.

"Zhongli Tingzhou is a student of the Magical Equipment Academy. I think we should ask them." The leader of the Equipment Refining Academy directly passed the buck.

"What else is needed for this matter? Zhongli Tingzhou's style of doing things is obviously different from that of the Demon King. At first glance, they are two different people. Those people must be blind to say that they are the same person."

"President Zhu, President Kong, what do you think?" The principal looked at the two silent people.

Kong Lanying smiled but didn't say anything.

Dean Zhu, as the first person to be named, had to say: "It is clear that someone is behind this. If something happens to Zhongli Tingzhou, whoever is the first to benefit will be the murderer behind the scenes."

"The Sima family and the Zhongli family have been arguing for a long time. It can't be the Sima family."

"I don't think it's the Sima family. The Yuan family is more likely. But these are not what we need to worry about. We just need to prove that Zhongli Tingzhou is not the Demon King." said a leader.

Dean Zhu shook his head. "They just want to force us to prove it. If nothing unexpected happens, the higher-ups may put pressure on us."

After all, Zhongli Tingzhou is a student of Penglai University, and Penglai University is an immortal palace with considerable status and prestige in society. If something happens, putting pressure on them will attract more attention.

The reason why the other party did this was because they believed that Zhongli Tingzhou was the Demon King. In this way, when things got out of hand, he would have nowhere to hide, and they could also use their hands to deal with Zhongli Tingzhou, killing two birds with one stone.

"This seems like Yuan Zhengshan's method." Kong Lanying said with a smile.

If you don't take action, it's fine. But once you take action, everyone will be caught off guard.

They were not wrong. The public opinion aroused this time was different from that of Gao Han. Some high-ranking government officials were also killed by the Demon King. When the meeting was about to end, they received an order from above to keep Zhongli Tingzhou stable and not let him leave Penglai University.

Gao Han was in the villa when he suddenly received a text message from Professor Fan.

——Tell Zhongli Tingzhou to get ready, the higher-ups are coming to check his identity.

What is he preparing for? If he is really the devil, he would naturally prepare to cover his vest well and not let anyone find out.

Professor Fan naturally didn’t know that Zhongli Tingzhou was the Demon King. He reminded him in advance only because his disciple had a good relationship with him.

"The higher-ups will probably send someone over to check your identity soon. What are you going to do?" Gao Han turned off the text message and looked at Zhongli Tingzhou, who was lying on the sofa with his neck pressed against it and his head tilted back.

"When will you move in?" Zhongli Tingzhou didn't open his eyes and answered the question irrelevantly.

"tomorrow?"

Zhongli Tingzhou opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and cold, and he frowned, "Tomorrow is too busy, let's do it tonight."

Gao Han hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

"Do you need to pack your things? I'll go with you." Zhongli Tingzhou said as he was about to stand up.

"No, there's nothing to pack in my dormitory." Gao Han didn't want him to go out.

The matter is now a hot topic. Although many students still believe in Zhongli Tingzhou, there are also a few radical ones. Some of them, who are said to have relatives and friends who died at the hands of the devil, all harbor ill will towards Zhongli Tingzhou.

Zhongli Tingzhou took him to his room, "This is your room."

"You think I've never been here, do you? This is your room."

Gao Han thought he was not in the mood to joke, but suddenly realized that he had underestimated him. This guy suddenly became quiet, which might have nothing to do with what happened outside.

"It can also be your room." Zhongli Tingzhou said with a blink.

"Then it becomes our room, right?" Gao Han looked as if he could see through him.

Zhongli Tingzhou said shyly: "If you say so, I can't help it, so let's sleep together."

Gao Han had goosebumps all over his body and pushed open the door of the next room. "I'll sleep in this room."

Zhongli Tingzhou was extremely disappointed.

Public opinion continued to ferment. Gao Han saw that even the school forum was discussing the Demon King. Unlike the style of other websites, most students admired the Demon King and did not believe that the Demon King would kill innocent people. Although they were criticized by some outsiders, it did not cause much trouble in their territory.

While Gao Han was browsing the forum posts, he was also reporting some users who spoke rudely.

Every channel was occupied by the affairs of Zhongli Tingzhou and the Demon King, but despite being bombarded with so much information, there were still posts that stood firm and did not sink.

The title is a post related to talismans.

Someone was buying a large number of talismans, and it was actually from a few days ago. The reason why the post surfaced was because other students pushed it up.

Gao Han closed the post after taking a quick look, then looked towards Zhongli Tingzhou’s closed door.

Two hours ago, he said he was tired and wanted to rest, and he never came out after entering the room.

Gao Han stood up and was about to knock on the door when the communicator suddenly rang a few times and he received several messages.

——Student Gao Han, I am Tingzhou’s third brother. Can you contact Tingzhou? We have contacted him several times but have not received any reply from him. Could you please help us check if he is in the villa now?

——We want to talk to him about the Demon King. The government has sent someone and they will arrive at the school tomorrow. This matter is of great importance. If you see him, please ask him to contact us. Thank you.
