Anyone could tell that Pei Ci had come with ill intentions, but only a few people knew about what had happened last night. Even Zhuo Qing's closest companions didn't know what had happened. They didn't know when Zhuo Qing had provoked this senior sister of Alkaid Peak.
But there was no time to ask right now. Pei Ci walked out of the first courtyard. Zhuo Qing wanted to dawdle a little, but Senior Brother Ji, who was usually polite to him, was now staring at him sternly.
What was the background of this Senior Sister Pei Ci?
Senior Brother Ji's expression made Zhuo Qing dispel his last hope. He did not know that Senior Brother Ji's fear of Pei Ci came from personal reasons.
He walked out of the yard as slowly as possible and saw Pei Ci patiently waiting outside. Luo Qin and Guan Xun were fast and had already run to the fourth yard to find Shen Wuyin. But Zhuo Wuyin did not know what had happened last night. When he saw Pei Ci, he felt his head hurt. He had not offended Pei Ci but he knew that this famous ice beauty of Alkaid Peak was hard to deal with. Not to mention that he did not have any friendship, even if he did, he would not give her any face.
"Senior Sister Pei Ci." Shen Wuyin came up to greet her. He had a duty that the Xuan Army Empire had given him.
"You are Zhuo Qing's accomplice?" Pei Ci did not know Shen Wuyin and did not ask for his name.
Accomplice?
When Shen Wuyin heard this, he felt even worse. Those who were called accomplices usually did not do anything good. But he and Zhuo Qing did not do anything together?
Shen Wuyin was shocked. He only knew that the most important thing right now was to understand what had happened. It was useless to talk about relationships with Pei Ci. He had to be reasonable.
"What happened?" He did not understand and looked towards Zhuo Qing. He wanted Zhuo Qing to quickly explain. It would be best if there was a misunderstanding. That way, he could explain it quickly.
"I am not sure, I am waiting for Senior Sister Pei Ci to tell me." Zhuo Qing still hoped that it was not because of last night. In the end, at this time, not far behind Shen Wuyin, a group of people were slowly walking over.
Yan Ge, Lin Tianbiao.
Shen Wuyin saw these two and instantly felt that his savior had come. But then …
"Are you really going to die? You can't even walk fast?" The woman in the group complained to another person.
Although the five courtyards belonged to the new courtyards of Beishan, there were not many people who knew the residents of the five courtyards. However, Zhuo Qing and the others had their heads exploded by Huo Ying and were beaten up by Little Sister Tang at the entrance of the Fifth Courtyard, so they recognized the two at a glance. Their expressions instantly turned ugly. The people from the Fifth Courtyard didn't seem like they would come to help him. Even if Yan Ge and Lin Tianbiao were to walk with them, they would not easily stand out.
As expected, this group of people didn't walk too close. In the end, they just stood together with the surrounding crowd and watched together.
But Pei Ci didn't care about all this. Zhuo Qing asked, so she answered. In fact, she did not try to understand the whole story in detail. When she looked at Lu Ping, she only asked one question: Who was it? Therefore, her answer was very simple.
"Last night, you and your accomplices severely wounded Lu Ping." As Pei Ci spoke, her icy gaze swept over Shen Wuyin once more.
"It wasn't me." Shen Wuyin was swept over by this gaze and subconsciously blurted out, removing himself from the picture. In the end, he recovered from these words and looked meaningfully at Zhuo Qing. He didn't know what had happened specifically, but he could more or less guess it. As for that so-called accomplice, he had already vaguely guessed it.
When Zhuo Qing heard this, his last trace of hope was shattered. His pleading eyes started to look at Shen Wuyin. Yan Ge and Lin Tianbiao, although they played a role in this matter, Zhuo Qing knew that the two sides were only working together for a short period of time. It wasn't enough for him to rely on them.
When the surrounding people heard this, they instantly understood. It wasn't a secret that Lu Ping was wanted by the Black Army Empire and the background of Zhuo Qing and the other Black Army State Protector College students.
It was just that Lu Ping had such a background that the senior apprentice sister of Alkaid Peak would stand up for him. This surprised everyone.
Everyone was silent. Everyone was silently waiting to see how this matter would end.
Pei Ci didn't seem to think that much. Hearing Shen Wuyin say it wasn't him, she looked at Zhuo Qing and asked, "Then who was it?"
Zhuo Qing saw that he couldn't hide and it was too late to count on someone to help him. He gritted his teeth and answered, "It was the Black Army Empire."
Yes, since this matter was being investigated and it wasn't a secret, he might as well reveal it. He wanted to see how this senior apprentice sister would respond to this sensitive question.
Who would have thought that Pei Ci would respond more directly.
"The Black Army Empire" completely ignored this answer and asked again, "I asked who your companion was last night, not your background."
Who was it?
Pei Ci's question made the audience curious. Everyone looked at Zhuo Qing.
"It was me." The reply came from another direction, which made Zhuo Qing heave a long sigh of relief. His originally anxious and uneasy feelings were mostly gone at this moment, because he knew who it was.
The crowd parted. The ordinary-looking Liu Wu stood there. He looked at Pei Ci, but his expression was very calm. He had been mentally prepared. When he received the news that Lin Tianbiao was going to Alkaid Peak, he had started to move so he was able to arrive in time.
Who was this person?
Liu Wu's name was unknown, and no one present knew who he was. Inevitably, there were some whispers.
Pei Ci also didn't recognize Liu Wu, but she had no intention of asking for his name or origin. She only nodded and said, "Then it's the two of you?"
Fifth Liu, who had been very calm at first, couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw that Pei Ci didn't ask about his identity or the reason and only wanted to make a final confirmation. For a moment, he didn't dare to answer directly. Instead, he turned around and looked behind him.
"Wait a moment, there are a few people here. Let me greet them first." A voice came from behind. A person waved a paper fan and walked towards the group of people from the five academies. Anyone with some knowledge would immediately recognize the color of his clothes. It was the clothes of one of the seven peaks, Tian Xuan Peak.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Zhan Ren!" Shen Wuyin, who hadn't been in the North Style Academy for a long time but cared about getting to know people from all over, recognized this person immediately.
Although the others didn't recognize him, when they heard the name, they immediately knew this person's background.
Zhan Ren, the head disciple of Merak Peak. The Big Dipper Seven Peaks had their own duties in the academy, and Merak Peak was in charge of the North Style Academy's affairs. In other words, if Lu Ping was injured and really wanted to complain, then looking for Merak Peak could be said to be the right way. But it was normal for practitioners to fight among themselves. The North Style Academy didn't forbid this kind of private fight. If they were injured and went to Merak Peak to complain, they would only become a laughing stock. The right and wrong that would be questioned by the Tian Xuan Peak would usually not be such a trivial matter.
But this time, the head disciple of Merak Peak actually came personally, and it seemed that he was invited by Liu Wu to help. But right now, he actually went to greet people first …
