Chengtian Academy, inside the residence of the third elder.
"What! Long Tao, Fan Mian and the others are dead?" The third elder asked the person in front of him in shock.
The two of them are sixth-grade warriors, how could they die so easily?
What's more, they are disciples of Chengtian Academy. In Xiangzhou, who dares not give face to Chengtian Academy?
Even Ding Nanjing, the governor of Xiangzhou, had to give their academy some face.
"Yes... My two junior brothers have indeed perished. Master, I beg your condolences." Ren Tianxun knelt down, awaiting the Third Elder's decision. "I was at fault. I shouldn't have sent them to hunt down Chen Yunxuan, resulting in the deaths of my two junior brothers. Master, please forgive me!"
"Alright! Get up!" The Third Elder waved his sleeves. "Tianxun! From now on, before you take any action, report to me first! Don't act on your own!"
Ren Tianxun stood up, still bowing respectfully, "Master, it was a momentary oversight on the part of my disciple. I will definitely not do that again."
"Tell me, how did they both die?" The third elder asked Ren Tianxun to sit down, and the latter sat down only after the third elder sat down.
"Master, the two did not die from ordinary swords and knives. The cause of death is quite rare, and it is difficult for me to determine. Please take a look." After saying that, Ren Tianxun handed the report to the third elder.
"...Looking at the description above, the two of them should have encountered Western firearms." The third elder immediately made a conclusion.
"Western firearms?" Ren Tianxun asked in confusion.
"The so-called Western firearms are made by Western countries and are similar to cannons. However, they are smaller and can be carried around, and their firing speed is faster than ordinary arrows." The third elder explained Western firearms.
"But, there is one thing I still don't understand."
"These firearms are extremely valuable. There are only a few in the entire Shenzhou land, and they should all be hidden in the Fengdu Imperial Palace. Why did they appear in Xiangzhou?"
It was the first time that Ren Tianxun heard of this kind of weapon. Logically speaking, this kind of artifact should not appear in Xiangzhou.
Unless... Fengdu sends people to rescue Chen Yunxuan, and those people happen to have such a magical weapon with them!
Ren Tianxun told his guess to the Third Elder, but the latter shook his head and denied his answer: "It's impossible. Chen Yunxuan is an orphan, raised by Elder Fuchen since childhood. He has no connection with Fengdu!"
"Alright! Tianxun, I know you care a lot about Chen Yunxuan."
"Don't worry, I've already ordered people to poison his food!"
"From the day he was expelled from the academy, he would die of the poison within a few days."
"The position of the Holy Son of this academy belongs to you!"
Ren Tianxun was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that his master was more pretentious than him.
Since Elder Fuchen's accidental death, the Third Elder has treated Chen Yunxuan like his own disciple.
I can't believe that all this was just an act by the Third Elder!
"What? Do you think I've forgotten about you, my disciple?" The Third Elder immediately took out a medicinal pill and handed it to Ren Tianxun. "That Elder Fuchen has a treasure trove. What I did before was just to use him to find the treasure."
"Now that the treasure house has been found by this old man, he has lost his value, so I will drive him out of the academy!"
"As for you, Tianxun, you have always been my most beloved disciple!"
"This medicinal pill is Elder Fuchen's masterpiece, and it has been improved by me."
"Take it regularly every day. Within a few months, you will be able to advance from a fourth-grade warrior to a second-grade warrior. By then, even Ding Hanling may not be your opponent!"
After hearing this, Ren Tianxun was filled with emotion. He knelt down again, kowtowed, and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for the gift of the elixir!"
The Ding Hanling mentioned by the Third Elder is the eldest disciple of the headmaster of Chengtian Academy, that is, the chief senior sister of Chengtian Academy.
Currently, among all the disciples, her strength is the most outstanding. She has become a third-grade warrior at a young age and her future is limitless.
The only ones who can compare with Ding Hanling are Chen Yunxuan and Ren Tianxun.
But now, Chen Yunxuan has also been expelled from the academy.
As long as he defeats Ding Hanling in the future academy competition, he can replace him as the chief disciple of Chengtian Academy, and even succeed to the position of the headmaster!
"Okay, let's talk about another thing." The third elder asked Ren Tianxun to stand up again.
After standing up, Ren Tianxun told the third elder about the destruction of the bandits at the foot of Jutian Mountain.
"Long Tao and his men actually killed the people from Tiger Roar Village? And even wrote something about enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven?" The Third Elder paced back and forth. "This shouldn't be possible... Long Tao is so cautious, how could he do this?"
Looking at the puzzled expression on the third elder's face, Ren Tianxun continued to explain the situation.
"Master, we also found the academy's jade token from the bandits."
"Also, there were words like Chengtian Academy written near the bandit's body."
"Master, could it be that someone is deliberately framing our academy?"
The Third Elder paced back and forth and directly retorted, "Who dares to defy the will of the world and offend Chengtian Academy?"
"In my opinion, it must be this brat Fan Mian who is trying to be a hero!"
"Whenever you encounter bandits trying to rob you, just start fighting them, no matter where they come from!"
"That's fine, but they even publicized it so loudly that they even lost the jade token!"
"By the way, have you found Long Tao's jade token on the bandits?"
Ren Tianxun shook his head and gave a negative answer: "Never found it."
The third elder pounded the table angrily to express his anger.
"That's it! It's normal that Fan Mian lost the jade token due to carelessness."
"Long Tao is a cautious person. He will never lose the jade token easily unless he dies!"
"It must be the people from Tiger Roar Village who killed them and took his jade token!"
