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 asked curiously. He could tell that Wei Ying's method of escaping was pretty good, but the gap between her realm and Chu Min's was too big. 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 wasn't something she would do, nor was it something she was good at. Sure enough, using brute force to threaten the other party to reveal their trump cards was her style.
There was no other way. He had to cover for them!
Tang Mu didn't assign anyone but 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 …
Tang Mu smiled bitterly. He wasn't afraid of fighting. At least he had the confidence that he could cover for Wei Ying's escape. But fighting with this woman was a very tiring task. No matter if he won or lost, it would be very tiring in the end.
But there was no other way. He could only do it. If it was someone else, perhaps it wouldn't be a tiring task.
Sigh …
Tang Mu sighed. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly saw a figure rushing towards Chu Min at an extremely fast speed. And behind this beautiful figure, there was another figure. No, to be precise, it was a figure. There was no jumping, no graceful gliding in the air. It was just running with all its might. She was chasing after that beautiful figure. But it was undoubtedly very strenuous for her. Even so, she wasn't left behind by too much. And the speed she was running at was enough to shock many people. But her running posture was very ugly. It made people feel awkward. It seemed that in order to run at such a speed, she had already turned upside down and didn't know how to move.
"It's her!" Tang Mu's gaze landed on that beautiful figure. His heart was suddenly filled with joy. If it was her, perhaps there really wouldn't be a need to trouble himself. Although she couldn't completely block Chu Min, it should be enough to delay her and complete the cover.
Tang Mu decided to wait a while longer. On Chu Min's side, a light shout came from behind her. "Who dares to 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. The gust of wind that Chu Min had created was so strong that the weaker students couldn't even get close to her. However, this streak of light had instantly split the wind apart. With a turn in the air, it landed not far from Chu Min.
"My surname is Qin. I am Qin Sang. State your name!" The beautiful girl blocking in front of Chu Min introduced herself proudly.
Her name was Qin Sang. She was the proudest and most deserving student of Twin Pole Academy. Because her surname was Qin. If someone treated the surname Qin as a form of pride, then this Qin would definitely 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 an ordinary Wei. Qin Sang's Qin, on the other hand, 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 registered herself.
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 increased 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 master and servant pair. 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 would not be able to throw her sword …
Qin Sang stretched out her right hand, preparing to catch the sword. But in the end, what came into contact with her were four hard fingers.
She did not grasp the hilt of the sword. Instead, she grabbed Chu Min's left hand. Chu Min did not want to shake hands with her to greet her. With this shake, Qin Sang felt dizzy.
The high and mighty, arrogant Qin Sang fell to the ground. Chu Min brushed past her, stirring up a gust of wind and stirring up dust, throwing it all over Qin Sang's face. Her Kuei sword was not caught. 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 did not 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 did 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 surrounding people looked on and were speechless. But in their hearts, they felt wronged for the young lady.
Qin Sang was the proud daughter of the Qin family. She was an awakened person with the Chong Chi Soul. But this young lady carrying the sword was an ordinary person. She did not even have a proper cultivation. Being able to catch up to Qin Sang's speed with just his legs was already incredible enough, but for someone to even catch up to her "Flowing Light Dance" was a bit too much. Qin Sang hadn't managed to catch the sword just now because she'd used her "Dancing Lights" ability to surpass the woman, but at the same time, she'd also widened the distance between her and the sword-carrying girl. Therefore, it was somewhat unreasonable to punish the sword-carrying girl.
Qin Sang stood up and snatched the sword from the young lady's hand. She was about to give chase, but she saw that Chu Min had already stopped in front of her. Chu Min slowly walked forward a few steps, and a group of students were already screaming.
"Dead."
"Someone died."
What was going on? Everyone was at a loss. They gathered around to watch. Chu Min stood there, silent. The person who had died was the person she had been chasing.
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. Apart from Chu Min, whose realm was far higher than his, none of the Bipolar Academy students realized that he was the main culprit behind this farce.
"How did he die?" The students were still asking each other, and there were only two people who knew this.
Chu Min was chasing, and Tang Mu, the dean of the Bipolar Academy, was watching from afar.
At the moment 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 could not get rid of Chu Min no matter what, and also seemed to realize 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 was not even a strategic move in the plan.
But in the end, he had directly ended his life because he was the family guard of the Canyon Peak City Lord, Wei Zhong. And this was the most efficient way.
He did not expose his identity, did not expose any of his objectives, and did not force his companions to rescue him. After discovering that his previous escape was meaningless, Wei Ying used the most efficient way to end everything.
In the crowd, Wei Ming turned around and left without a sound.
