Chapter 72

The city lord would respect the schools and instructors out of interest.

What about the schools and instructors? They wouldn't mind maintaining a good relationship with the city lord out of interest as well. Canyon Peak Academy was the best example. If it hadn't been for the city lord's constant support, it wouldn't have reached its current scale, and wouldn't have the Tower of Souls that many schools didn't have.

Twin Pole Academy wasn't as weak as Canyon Peak Academy, and it wasn't in Wei Zhong's jurisdiction. But this didn't affect Tang Mu's willingness to maintain a good relationship with the city lord, especially when Wei Zhong was his student.

Students respected their instructors, and the instructors protected their students. If the instructor was in trouble, the students would also stand up for the instructor. Of course, there were also a lot of pure and touching feelings of love and protection between teacher and student. However, Tang Mu and Wei Zhong, due to their positions, their teacher-student relationship was destined to be very difficult to be pure, and the two of them very calmly did not try to create this kind of purity.

Therefore, Tang Mu had accepted Wei Zhong's son, Wei Tianqi, to help him cultivate. Otherwise, with Wei Tianqi's ordinary talent, why would Tang Mu be willing to spend the effort to set up the Twenty-One Days of Moonlight Boundary to help him cultivate?

Setting up the Twenty-One Days of Moonlight Boundary required large amounts of treasures and materials. These were all provided by Wei Zhong, but Tang Mu had to personally assume the position of Boundary Guardian for twenty-one days. It was extremely complicated to adjust the boundary twenty-one times every night for twenty-one days. Only in this way could the power of moonlight be used to cleanse the cultivator's soul and rapidly increase their cultivation.

These twenty-one days were a kind of enjoyment for the cultivators who were cleansed by the moonlight. There weren't many difficulties or obstacles in cultivation, and it all depended on how much one could sense and comprehend.

But for the Boundary Guardian, these twenty-one days were purely a consumption, and an extraordinary one at that. Tang Mu definitely wasn't making such a sacrifice because of their teacher-student relationship. Wei Zhong wouldn't be so thick-skinned as to ask his instructor to make such a sacrifice for his son.

The two had reached a tacit agreement on something more substantial than "friendship." And now, Wei Zhong's household guard was being pursued by Chu Min at Twin Pole Academy. Tang Mu might have to step forward to protect him. However … How did Wei Zhong's family guard provoke that woman?

Tang Mu didn't immediately take action as he pondered. He patiently observed the situation, his suspicions growing.

"This woman … what does she want?" Tang Mu was puzzled. He could see that Wei Ying was good at escaping, but there was a great disparity between him and Chu Min in cultivation. If Chu Min wanted to get serious, she would have had the opportunity to catch him long ago. There was no need for her to cause such a ruckus. But now, she deliberately maintained a distance and allowed Wei Ying to escape. Was she trying to … lure the snake out of its hole?

He had never seen someone so ostentatious in luring a snake out of its hole. However, when he thought of this woman's fiery temper, he knew that tailing someone was not something she would do, nor was it something she was good at. Sure enough, using brute force to threaten the other party to reveal his trump card was her style.

There was no other way. He had to cover for them!

Tang Mu didn't assign anyone. He was prepared to do it himself because he knew how terrifying Chu Min was. He also knew that Chu Min wasn't someone who could be easily persuaded. He was, after all, an old acquaintance of hers. Perhaps he could say a few more words to her, but he had no confidence that he could convince her. If they had to fight in the end …

Wei were were. He wasn't afraid to fight. He was confident that he could cover Wei Ying's escape. But fighting with this woman was a tough job. No matter if he won or lost, it would be tough.

But there was no other way. He had to do it. If it was someone else, it might not be a tough job.

Sigh …

Tang Mu sighed. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly saw a figure dashing towards Chu Min. Behind this elegant figure, there was another figure. No, to be precise, it was a figure. It didn't jump or glide in the air. It just ran with all its might. She was chasing after that graceful figure, but it was undoubtedly very strenuous for her. Even so, she was not left behind by too much, and the speed at which she was running was enough to shock too many people. However, her running posture was very ugly, making people feel very awkward. It seemed that in order to run at such a speed, she already did not know how to move.

"It's her!" Tang Mu's gaze landed on that elegant figure. His heart was filled with joy. If it was her, he wouldn't have to trouble himself. Although she couldn't completely block Chu Min, it should be enough to delay her.

Tang Mu decided to wait a while longer. On Chu Min's side, a shout came from behind. "Who is it? How dare you cause trouble in Twin Pole Academy?!"

Before the voice faded away, the figure suddenly became like a ray of flowing light, suddenly speeding up a little. Students with lower cultivation levels couldn't even get close to the gust of wind that Chu Min had created. But this beam of light instantly split the wind apart. It turned in the air and landed not far from Chu Min.

"My surname is Qin. I'm Qin Sang. Tell me your name!" The beautiful girl in front of Chu Min introduced herself proudly.

She was Qin Sang. She was the proudest and most deserving student of Twin Pole Academy. Because her surname was Qin. If someone treated having the surname Qin as a form of pride, then this Qin must be the Qin of "Wei Qin Liang Gu".

The four clans of the Dark Army, Wei Qin Liang Gu.

It referred to the Four Great Clans of Xuan Jun Empire.

Wei Zhong's family also had the surname Wei, but this Wei was just a very ordinary Wei. Qin Sang's Qin, however, was the truly extraordinary Qin.

Because she was this Qin, even though Twin Pole Academy was the thirty-seventh ranked academy in the continent, it was just a place for her to stay. In Twin Pole Academy, no instructor dared to take her in as a student. Because everyone knew that after a short rest in this place, Qin Sang would definitely enter the Four Great Academies. That was her final origin, just like her three brothers and two sisters.

She was proud. She was extraordinary. However, even though the Twin Polarity Academy was only her temporary foothold, even though her final destination was definitely not here, since she was currently in the Twin Polarity Academy, she could not allow the Twin Polarity Academy to suffer any humiliation. That would only bring shame to her as well.

So she made a move, blocked the path, and told her name.

But Chu Min ignored her.

She heard every single word. She was also very clear which Qin Qin Sang's Qin was. But she still continued forward, not replying a single word.

"How dare you!" Qin Sang was furious. She stretched out her right hand. "Sword, come!"

"Eh!" Someone responded, sounding a little flustered. That young lady who had been running behind Qin Sang was already struggling to keep up. When Qin Sang suddenly increased her speed at the end, the distance between the two of them widened once again. At this moment, Qin Sang suddenly called for the sword. The young lady hurriedly threw the sword that she often carried for Qin Sang over.

Her technique was very skilled and precise. Clearly, this was a tacit understanding between the two of them. But today, her tone was a little flustered. Because she suddenly felt that the distance was too far. The young miss was a little too far from her today, but the opponent was too close, and so fast. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to throw her sword …

Qin Sang stretched out her right hand, preparing to catch the sword. But what she finally got were four hard fingers.

She didn't grab the sword hilt. Instead, she grabbed Chu Min's left hand. Chu Min didn't want to shake hands with her to greet her. This shake made Qin Sang feel dizzy.

The aloof and arrogant Qin Sang fell to the ground. Chu Min brushed past her, stirring up a gust of wind, stirring up dust, and throwing it all over Qin Sang's face. Her Kuei sword wasn't caught either. It just flew over her head and finally fell into the dust.

"Young miss …" The young lady who was running in an ugly manner finally caught up. But she saw that her young miss was already in such a state. The Kuei sword fell to the ground. She hurriedly went over to pick it up. Qin Sang didn't take it. She sat on the ground in a daze. The young miss of the Qin family had never been in such a sorry state. Never.

"Young miss …" The young lady had never thought that Qin Sang would be in such a sorry state. She was so sad that tears fell down. When Qin Sang saw this, she suddenly became furious. She swung her hand and slapped the young lady.

"Useless. How could you throw the sword?!" Qin Sang scolded.

"I'm sorry, young miss …" The young lady was terrified. She lowered her head, and her tears continued to fall to the ground. The people around looked at this in silence. They all felt wronged for the young lady in their hearts.

Qin Sang was the daughter of the Qin family. She was the awakened of the Chong Chi Soul. But this young lady with the sword was just an ordinary person. She didn't even have a proper cultivation. It was already incredible that she could catch up with Qin Sang's speed with her legs. But it was too difficult for her to catch up with her "Flying Light Dance". She didn't catch the sword just now. It was obviously because when Qin Sang used the "Flying Light Dance" special ability to surpass that woman, she had also pulled too far away from the young lady. Thus, it was unreasonable to punish the young lady with the sword.

Qin Sang stood up and snatched the sword from the young lady's hand. She was about to give chase when she saw that Chu Min had already stopped in front of her. Chu Min slowly took a few steps forward, and a group of students cried out in alarm.

"Dead."

"Someone died."

What was going on? Everyone was at a loss, and they all gathered around to watch. Chu Min stood there silently, because the person who had died was the person she had been chasing all this time.

Wei Ying was dead.

But not many people knew that he was the target that Qin Sang had been chasing. His escape technique was indeed superb. Other than Chu Min, whose realm was far higher than his, none of the students of Bipolar Academy realized that he was the culprit behind this farce.

"How did he die?" The students were still asking each other, and there were only two people who knew this.

The one who was chasing was Chu Min, and the one who was watching from afar, Tang Mu, the dean of Bipolar Academy.

Just when Chu Min was intercepted by Qin Sang, Wei Ying suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, never to get up again.

He seemed to feel that he couldn't get rid of Chu Min no matter what, and also seemed to be aware that Chu Min was deliberately banishing him, waiting for more of his companions to appear and rescue him.

He had only gone to Amaterasu College to spy on Lu Ping and the others. This was just a casual arrangement by Wei Ming, and it wasn't even a strategic move in the plan.

But in the end, he had directly ended his own life because he was the family guard of the Canyon Peak City Lord, Wei Zhong. And this was the most efficient way.

He didn't expose his identity, didn't expose any of his goals, and didn't force his companions to rescue him. After realizing that his previous escape was meaningless, Wei Ying used the most efficient way to end everything.

In the crowd, Wei Ming turned around and quietly left.
