On the mountain path of Alkaid Peak, Lin Tianbiao hurried and finally caught up to Pei Ci. Ruan Qingzhu was decisive, and her disciple was also decisive. He made a decision in an instant and left as soon as he heard the order. Lin Tianbiao didn't stay on the peak for more than a few minutes. In the time it took to say a few words, he was already heading back.
"Senior Sister Pei Ci." Lin Tianbiao remembered the name Ruan Qingzhu mentioned when she called for someone. He caught up to her and called out.
Pei Ci looked back at him but didn't slow down at all. Lin Tianbiao quickly quickened his steps and caught up to Pei Ci.
"I'm Lin Tianbiao. If Senior Sister Pei Ci needs anything, please let me know," Lin Tianbiao said with a smile.
"No." Pei Ci only replied coldly. She ignored Lin Tianbiao and continued on her way.
Lin Tianbiao, who was rebuffed, still maintained his smile. He didn't say anything else and took half a step back so that he wasn't walking beside Pei Ci but behind her. He followed in silence all the way until they reached Qixing Valley. Pei Ci only spoke to him for the second time.
"Where is Lu Ping?" Pei Ci asked.
"In Courtyard Five," Lin Tianbiao answered immediately.
"Thank you." Pei Ci thanked him and returned to her previous state. They just hurried on their way and soon arrived at Courtyard Five.
"I'll go greet him for you." Lin Tianbiao suddenly quickened his steps and rushed ahead of her. He didn't have any of the pride of the Green Peak Lin Family. He was more like a servant that served others.
Pei Ci didn't say anything. Lin Tianbiao walked to the door of Courtyard Five in a few steps. He stopped as usual and knocked on the door that wasn't closed.
In the past, Huo Ying would always sit on the bamboo chair in the courtyard. He would always react to Lin Tianbiao's visit, regardless of whether he spoke or not. But this time, there was no one in the courtyard. There was only a bamboo chair quietly sitting in its usual spot.
"Lu Ping, Senior Sister Pei Ci is here to see you." Seeing that no one responded, Lin Tianbiao called out in the direction of Lu Ping's room as a form of greeting. At this time, Pei Ci had also arrived behind him. Lin Tianbiao hurriedly moved to the side and let Pei Ci enter the fifth courtyard first.
"Which room?" Pei Ci turned around to ask Lin Tianbiao.
"This one." Lin Tianbiao quickly walked to the front and led the way. When he arrived at Lu Ping's room, he knocked on the door.
"Come in." Someone answered from behind the door. Lin Tianbiao heard Huo Ying's voice.
He pushed the door open and saw Huo Ying looking back at him. Lu Ping was lying on the bed, but there was another person sitting beside the bed. His long silver hair was draped over his shoulders. Who else could it be but Yan Ge?
"Senior Huo Ying, Senior Yan Ge." Lin Tianbiao remained unmoved as he greeted them one by one. Yan Ge also turned around and smiled at him.
Then, Lin Tianbiao stepped aside. "Senior Sister Pei Ci is here to see Lu Ping."
Everyone in the house had heard him when he shouted at the courtyard gate.
He looked towards the door and saw that Lin Tianbiao had stepped aside and Pei Ci had entered the room. She saw Huo Ying and Yan Ge. Pei Ci nodded her head slightly as a greeting. She then walked to the bed and looked at Lu Ping who was lying on the bed.
"What happened?" She was not curious about what the people in the room were doing. She looked at Lu Ping and asked directly.
Huo Ying did not know why she was here and was surprised when he heard that she was here. Yan Ge had already heard from Lin Tianbiao that he went to Alkaid Peak to complain. Even though she knew what was going on, she still looked as curious as Huo Ying.
Pei Ci did not plan to say anything to them and only waited for Lu Ping's reply.
"He was beaten." Lu Ping said.
"Who was it?" Pei Ci asked.
"Zhuo Qing. There's another person I don't know." Lu Ping said.
"Who is Zhuo Qing?" Pei Ci asked again.
"Dark Army's National Protector Academy's new student from North Style Academy." Lu Ping said.
"I'll go look for him." Pei Ci said. She actually turned around and left. Just like when she was at Alkaid Peak, she walked out of the room in the blink of an eye.
Huo Ying and Yan Ge were dumbfounded. Huo Ying did not know what was going on. Yan Ge, on the other hand, was moved by Pei Ci's decisiveness towards Lu Ping. She knew that this was not Pei Ci's personal will. She must have received instructions from Ruan Qingzhu. This was the attitude of the seven academicians.
He and Huo Ying looked at each other and then looked at Lu Ping.
"What's your relationship with Pei Ci?" Huo Ying asked.
"Nothing." Lu Ping said.
"Then why is she here?" Huo Ying did not understand.
"I went to Alkaid Peak to complain on behalf of Lu Ping. Then Academician Ruan sent Senior Pei Ci here." Lin Tianbiao quickly explained.
"Complain … …" This word was so cold that Huo Ying was stunned for a while. She then continued to look at Lu Ping. "So straightforward?"
Not only straightforward, but also naive.
But the problem was, Academician Ruan actually expressed her stance. She actually reported the position of the seven academicians?
This made Huo Ying rather surprised.
He did not think that the academy would have a clear position on this matter. Because Lu Ping was only an ordinary newcomer. His intentions were questionable when he came to the North Style Academy as a wanted man. If it was just some random power that was chasing after him, the North Style Academy would not mind displaying the aura of one of the four great academies. But now, he was wanted by one of the three ruling powers of the Black Army Empire. The North Style Academy would not be so stupid as to bear this level of thunder for a newcomer.
To tell the truth, if it wasn't for the fact that the one in charge of the newcomer trial was his teacher, Li Yaotian. With Lu Ping's background, he would have been rejected by the academy. Only the serious and inflexible Li Yaotian would not care about these factors and take in any student that caught his eye. But after Lu Ping entered the academy, other than causing a few disturbances, he did not display any traits that were worthy of the academy's protection. Huo Ying felt vexed for the academy when he thought about his situation. He was not sure how the academy would handle this matter if they were to step in.
But now, the academy had yet to step in, but Ruan Qingzhu had already sent her student to carry her will.
Was this Academician Ruan's personal will, or was it the academy's way of handling this matter?
Huo Ying's thoughts were much more complicated now. It was not limited to simple personal preferences and grudges. The four great academies that stood at the peak of the continent's practitioners were not such a simple place.
Why not go and take a look?
Just as Huo Ying had this thought, Yan Ge who was sitting at the bedside had already stood up.
"I'm a little curious, I want to take a look." He said.
"Let's go together." Huo Ying said.
Yan Ge smiled and turned his head to warn Lu Ping. When he turned his head again, he saw that Huo Ying had already left in a hurry. This kind of scene had not appeared on Huo Ying for a long time.
