What a good word game.
The people who understood the meaning behind Zhan Ren's words all thought silently.
These words seemed to be a reply to Lu Ping, even agreeing with him, but in reality, it was equivalent to saying: when being killed, finding someone to help, was not within the scope of the previous agreement, because that was only to save someone, not to help.
Zhuo Qing understood this layer of meaning, and was naturally very satisfied.
Lu Ping, on the other hand, seemed to not understand this layer of meaning, and very honestly nodded his head there.
"You idiot!" Someone couldn't stand it anymore, and took a few steps forward. It was Sun Yingsheng, and he stared at Lu Ping with a face full of exasperation.
"He's saying that if you want to kill someone, then those older brothers and uncles will have to come and save them." Sun Yingsheng directly pierced through Zhan Ren's word game, and between the lines, there was no respect left for this eldest senior of Tian Xuan Peak.
Zhan Ren wasn't angry, the reason he said this was because he was in the right. Stopping someone from killing someone was not wrong in the Academy. He was about to say something, but unexpectedly Lu Ping had already nodded his head, and said to Sun Yingsheng: "I know."
"You know?" Sun Yingsheng was stunned.
"Yes, I just wanted to clarify the rules, now I know." Lu Ping said.
"Clarify the rules?" Sun Yingsheng couldn't follow Lu Ping's train of thought.
"Just don't kill people." Lu Ping nodded his head and said.
Don't kill people?
Everyone was stunned, and Zhuo Qing felt a wave of coldness for no reason. In the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but think of a phrase, the one they had used last night to threaten Lu Ping.
Living a life worse than death.
This guy wants to make me live a life worse than death?
Zhuo Qing looked at Lu Ping, and Lu Ping was also looking at him.
It was clearly Lu Ping who was beaten to the point that he couldn't move, and spoke weakly, and a finger was enough to poke him to death, but in terms of aura, he suppressed Zhuo Qing.
What was he afraid of?
Zhuo Qing was also very angry at herself. Lu Ping had clearly fallen to such a state, and the power he could rely on had been resolved by Zhan Ren, whom Liu Wu had found. But why was she still so lacking in confidence? Facing such a cripple, she actually felt uneasy?
He really wanted to go forward and kill Lu Ping immediately. Now, he wanted to do it here.
But he knew that it was impossible. With Pei Ci around, the people from the five academies, and even Zhan Ren around, they would not allow him to embarrass himself like this.
It was fine as long as he didn't kill anyone. Had this become a rule?
Lu Ping wouldn't kill him, so conversely, he couldn't kill Lu Ping either.
But other than killing, what other methods could he use to deal with Lu Ping? Even the bone-chilling torture that Zhuo Qing was afraid of last night didn't make Lu Ping submit at all.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean this fellow is already in an invincible position?
Because he couldn't kill him, no matter how he tortured and humiliated him, it would be of no use.
This was really troublesome.
Zhuo Qing was helpless. He couldn't even look at Lu Ping in the eyes. His gaze looked towards Liu Wu.
Liu Wu's arms were cut off, but he was still in a good mood. The situation was finally under control. He was already very satisfied that the North Style Academy didn't pursue the matter with the Black Army Empire.
As for Zhan Ren toying with Lu Ping, he treated it as a show. Even if Lu Ping said ruthless words and suddenly said that he had made clear the rules and wouldn't kill anyone. Liu Wu didn't treat it as a big deal.
Because he knew Zhan Ren's attitude very well.
He didn't treat it as a big deal. Zhan Ren didn't either. Towards Lu Ping's seriousness, Zhan Ren just smiled and watched from the side.
How could there be so many things?
Zhan Ren thought. He only wanted to eliminate the disharmony caused by this matter. After that, he would still wait for the Seven Star Examinations and expel Lu Ping from the North Style Academy.
After that, it would have nothing to do with the North Style Academy. Zhan Ren only wanted this result.
This result was already set in stone. Who cares if you understood the meaning of my words, who cares if you know the rules, who cares if you kill people or not?
Being expelled from the North Style Academy, this is your ending.
No matter what you say or do, there will only be this ending.
"Tsk tsk." The smile on Zhan Ren's face gradually turned into a sneer. The paper fan in his hand suddenly pointed at Lu Ping.
"I'm looking forward to it." He said. He was looking forward to the day when Lu Ping would be expelled from the academy. He was looking forward to Lu Ping's miserable and terrified expression. At that time, he would definitely be in a good mood when he thought of this, right? Zhan Ren was looking forward to it.
"I won't disappoint you." Lu Ping said.
"Hahaha." Zhan Ren laughed loudly. "Good, very good, very good." He said 'good' three times in a row and actually turned around to leave.
Everyone was at a loss.
Why did the head disciple of Merak Peak, who had always sided with Zhuo Qing's side, suddenly admire Lu Ping, and even praised him three times in a row?
The only one who could slightly understand Zhan Ren's mood was Liu Wu, who knew Zhan Ren's trump card. Of course, he would not explain it to anyone. He only gave Zhuo Qing a look to reassure him. Then, he vigilantly looked at Pei Ci.
Zhan Ren had left, but Pei Ci had not. If she were to make a move now, who would stop her?
But at most, she would just suffer a bit more. When Liu Wu thought of this, he calmed down and looked at Pei Ci with a much bolder gaze.
Pei Ci still had a cold expression. She did not look at Zhuo Qing or Liu Wu, but only at Lu Ping.
"Thank you." The first to speak was actually Lu Ping.
"No need to thank me." Pei Ci said.
"That's all. I think it's fine." Lu Ping said.
"Alright." Pei Ci nodded.
Then, she left and returned to Alkaid Peak to report to Ruan Qingzhu.
Zhan Ren's appearance and actions caused Ruan Qingzhu to frown again and again, but she did not say anything. When she heard Pei Ci being sent away by Lu Ping, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This little brat, he's really ordering us around?" Ruan Qingzhu said.
Pei Ci was silent.
"Alright, you can go." Ruan Qingzhu waved her hand.
Pei Ci retreated. Seeing her student's figure disappear, Ruan Qingzhu fell into deep thought.
Different positions meant different horizons. Although Pei Ci was highly regarded by Ruan Qingzhu, she was more focused on her cultivation and didn't care much about other matters. She had noticed Zhan Ren's actions, but she didn't want to look into it. But when Ruan Qingzhu heard this, she immediately realized what was going on. She realized that from the beginning, there had already been some influential people paying attention to Lu Ping.
As one of the seven academicians, Ruan Qingzhu naturally understood the conflict between the North Style Academy and the various factions.
She also knew how sensitive Lu Ping's identity as a wanted criminal of the Black Army Empire was, and what kind of unhappiness it would cause.
But she still did not like this way of handling things. Although he didn't lose any face by plotting so much to get rid of Zhou Ping, he had made a lot of concessions to the Xuan Army Empire. Outsiders might not be able to see this, but how could both sides not be aware of it?
So not only did Ruan Qingzhu not like it, she was also very surprised. Because this was a huge step back.
Was this really for the sake of the relationship between both sides, and for the greater good?
Or was there another goal?
