“Ah! No…don’t!”
The howling sound of a pig being slaughtered immediately resounded throughout the entire sycamore tree. Without even having time to think, the black shadow hurriedly admitted in fear of death, "It was the Kate family who hired us. It was the Kate family who sent us to kill Ye Lan!"
After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth wide, afraid that even a little bit of the bark would touch his mouth.
Qing Teng pulled his hand out, and his fingertips were clean, without a speck of anything at all.
"It's really that stupid family. The people they raised don't seem to be very smart either." He patted the other person's head and asked him to look down.
The shadow did as he was told, then discovered that the piece of poisonous bark had been swapped out and fell on his knees.
“…”
The corners of his mouth twitched and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
The matter was confirmed, but for Ye Lan and his group, in a foreign country, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Even if the nobles with outstanding achievements like the Kate family were stupid and rampant, it would be difficult for them to uproot them.
So when he started the live broadcast, Ye Lan didn't intend to confront the opponent head-on.
After the assistant arrived with his men, he first took the killers back for interrogation, and then left some people at the scene to collect evidence, while he arranged a new residence for Ye Lan.
"Everything is burned. What a hassle! I have to go buy new clothes tomorrow." Nan Xu was heartbroken about her box of beautiful clothes and cosmetics. Just as she was about to ask Ye Lan to go shopping together, she suddenly remembered something. "Chief, where is your acceptance letter?"
Ye Lan was listening to his assistant's report of the killer's confession. He was stunned for a moment before answering, "It was burned."
The explosives were buried under the foundation, and a large amount of ignition oil was used, so the moment the explosion occurred, everyone, including her, jumped out of the window alone.
They are all practitioners. Normally, not to mention money, even weapons are just auxiliary possessions.
It was even more impossible for Ye Lan to remember a thin admission letter.
"Miss, have you lost your admission certificate to Seer Rose University?" The assistant's expression changed. Seeing Ye Lan nodded, his brows furrowed. "This is a difficult matter. Although Seer Rose University is not rigid in its admissions process and can offer exceptions to the entrance exam schedule, there are strict requirements for admission, and the first and foremost requirement is this admission letter. In previous years, many people missed out on the opportunity to enroll because their admission letters were snatched away."
Later, many people even learned of this news and out of jealousy deliberately destroyed other people's admission letters, resulting in the number of students admitted each year being much smaller than the actual number admitted.
Upon hearing this news, Nan Xu immediately sneered, "I was wondering what they were up to with the sneak attack and the trickery in the middle of the night. Turns out they were waiting here."
The assistant was a little confused when he heard this.
Nan Xu raised an eyebrow and pointed at the confession of the Kate family killer in his hand. "We have long suspected that Sayre Rose University is colluding with the School of Consciousness."
This trip was also made specifically for investigation.
Now that the mission has failed and the admission letter has been burned, it further proves that there is something fishy going on.
"It seems that I have to go to Rose University." Ye Lan sat on the main seat on the sofa in the living room, his eyebrows and eyes were cold and clear, and it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry. There was no worry about admission in his eyes.
After the assistant left, everyone read the confessions on the table one by one.
The killer was just a marginal figure temporarily hired by the Kate family. He didn't know much. Apart from confessing that he had scouted the place in advance and knew where they were staying, and deliberately pretended to be a road maintenance team to place explosives and poisons in the villa, the rest was just killing to silence them.
As for the cameras, they were not arranged by them.
"There are more than one enemy who wants your life." Lei Ze had been watching the massively popular live broadcast on the Shark platform on his tablet. After everyone went back to their rooms to rest, he said to the last girl who stayed, "It's not wise to use yourself as a target to attract others."
That way, you will only put yourself in danger all the time.
Just like today.
"I know." Ye Lan stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, saying calmly, "But isn't this also a form of initiative?"
Since her rebirth, she discovered that the ancient martial arts world, which seemed like a paradise on earth, was not as impregnable as she had imagined, and that greedy forces lurking in the darkness were ready to make a move.
It started with the Bai family massacre, moved to the black market in the Hunter District, and now involves Gu Ou and the X Forum.
They seem powerful, but in fact they are always passive and only solve problems when they arise.
But Ye Lan is not the type to sit and wait for death. Her style is to grasp the source and take the initiative.
Since everyone wants to get a piece of the pie from the ancient martial arts world, then she will let the whole world see that Eastern ancient martial arts are not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will.
late at night.
The man stood in front of the window, and the moonlight from outside poured in, casting his tall figure on the ground. The shadow was tall and thin, and had an effect completely opposite to that of the real person.
"She's a very special girl." Lei Ze looked at the moonlight above his head, his voice gentle and with a compassionate smile, "You should like her too, right?"
The shadow sitting on the ground with his back to him, practicing, and his legs crossed, seemed indifferent, as if he didn't hear his mumbling.
Lei Ze could sense that he was trying his best to gather his remaining soul, almost constantly recovering his strength, and couldn't help but praise him, "By human standards, you are a very powerful being. Under the dual assault of demonic energy and thunder curses, you were able to retain a wisp of your remaining soul to cultivate itself. That's truly impressive. You must really want her to know that if you hadn't blocked that bolt of lightning with your soul, I'm afraid all those people would have been wiped out on the spot, right?"
Along the way, he was learning human knowledge. As an omnipotent god, he naturally quickly grasped human desires.
That is the culprit that can control people to demand and plunder.
Plunder land resources, more living space, and even demand more love from the people they like.
The shadow sat on the ground as cold as water, silently.
After a while, just when Lei Ze thought the other party would not respond, he said, "I don't want her to know."
Um?
Lei Ze looked back at him, "Why?"
Xiao Yunting slowly opened his eyes. His broken soul was still translucent, and his face was full of cracks. His original handsome appearance was no longer visible.
But there is a hint of tenderness hidden in those deep eyes.
"I did this voluntarily. It's none of her business."
People are selfish, even those they like want more love. But it is precisely because of love that the human heart can generate the power of protection, just like when he saw the thunderbolt and urged his inner strength to meet it without hesitation, and just like Ye Lan stepped into the black hole of the void without hesitation for the sake of the people, ready to die.
These are emotions that Lei Ze, the God of Earth, cannot understand.
So he was confused, but also more curious and wanted to explore.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. It will take a long time for you to wake up, and I also have plenty of time to perceive all this." Lei Ze smiled leisurely, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked back at where he came from.
He used to look down upon all creatures in the world from a high position, thinking that they were ignorant and pathetic, but now it seems a little different.
He found some very interesting people.
