The five teachers and students from Zhenfeng College were quickly brought to the scene. They weren't injured, but they looked a little frightened. But when they saw the people in the courtyard and Lu Ping, the fear on their faces slowly turned into confusion. When the five were brought to Lu Ping's side, they were surprised to see that Lu Ping was free to do as he pleased.
"What happened?" Kong Ju couldn't help but ask.
Wei Chao and Wei Yang's main targets weren't them, so they didn't make things difficult for them after capturing them, nor did they talk to them. So the five of them didn't understand what was going on. Now that they saw Lu Ping with so many big shots of the Canyon Peak District, they didn't think that it was a confrontation. After all, their imagination was very limited.
"There may be some misunderstanding." Ding Mao answered on behalf of Lu Ping. As the deputy inspector of the Department of Internal Affairs and a fourth-rank official, his tone was unbelievably kind.
"Then we'll go first." Lu Ping nodded.
Without needing Ding Mao to say anything, everyone consciously dispersed and made way for them. Lu Ping walked in front, and the five teachers and students from Zhenfeng College followed behind him in confusion. But after the crowd dispersed, they finally saw the two corpses on the ground. They didn't know the deputy inspector of the Department of Internal Affairs, but Wei Chao recognized him at a glance. This was a person who was under one person in the Canyon Peak District. Why was his body lying here? And why did so many officials of the Canyon Peak District look indifferent?
Then they saw Wei Yang again. His usual arrogance was completely gone. Like a defeated rooster, he drooped his head and stared blankly at the five people walking past him.
The group of six walked out of the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, the guards they met all showed fear in their eyes when they saw Lu Ping, subconsciously making way for them.
"Isn't this the wrong direction?" Tutor Zhu Cheng suddenly said. He had been to the City Lord's Mansion before, and this time, the direction Lu Ping led them in didn't seem to be the main gate. But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Cheng saw a large part of the towering walls of the City Lord Manor in front of him had collapsed, revealing an exit that was even larger than the main entrance.
"It's closer here," Lu Ping explained.
Was this a question of proximity? Zhu Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The other four students were also dumbfounded. The five of them carefully followed Lu Ping out of this unusual exit. The broken bricks and tiles on the street that had not yet been cleaned up added an unprecedented atmosphere to the usually solemn and quiet wide street. Zhu Cheng and the other four turned around to take a look. The broken wall did not seem as tall as it used to be.
"What exactly is going on?" After leaving the City Lord's Mansion safely, the five of them could not help but continue to ask.
"The people from the City Lord's Mansion captured us. I'm here to ask them for our people," Lu Ping replied.
The five of them subconsciously looked back at the broken part of the courtyard wall.
"This might not be very … polite, right?" Zhu Cheng thought about it and finally came up with this word.
"Hehe." Lu Ping laughed. He knew that Zhu Cheng did not want to discuss the problem of politeness with him. It was just that he could not find the right words.
"What happened to Wei Chao?" Zhu Cheng asked again.
"I killed him," Lu Ping said.
"What?" Zhu Cheng cried out in shock. The other four also widened their eyes. One of them even began to tremble.
"He talks too much," Lu Ping said.
"Just because of this?"
"His words are disadvantageous to us," Lu Ping said again.
The five of them no longer spoke. No matter what, Lu Ping clearly came to save them. In order to save them, he had a conflict with the City Lord Manor. He actually killed the head of the City Lord Manor's twelve family guards, Wei Chao, and then …
"Then why were we let go?" The five of them felt that it was inconceivable. The conflict had reached this point. Logically speaking, shouldn't Lu Ping also be captured or even killed along with them? This result was illogical!
"Because they couldn't beat me." Lu Ping said.
He did not say that this was a misunderstanding like Ding Mao. That was because he knew that there was no misunderstanding. The Xuan Army Empire would not let them off peacefully. This was something they had expected. Xiabong Castellan's actions were just to make things difficult for them. After all, Xiabong Castellan really did have a feud with them. And the reason he said was indeed the reason why they were let go today. But in the ears of Zhu Cheng and the others, it was like a fantasy. This was a conflict with the City Lord Manor and the Xuan Army Empire. How could it be because of a childish reason like "they couldn't beat me"? The five of them looked at one another in disbelief. They just thought that Lu Ping had some inconvenience, but they did not continue asking.
Just like that, the few of them returned to Zhenfeng College. Those teachers and students who had decided to stay or were preparing to leave were still there, waiting for their news. Seeing the five of them being brought back by Lu Ping, they were both happy and surprised. When they heard that Wei Chao had been beaten to death by Lu Ping, there was an uproar.
The young students were very excited about this. They felt that they had finally vented their anger. But the more experienced teachers felt that it was inappropriate. Especially Lu Qing. He could not think of any ideas on how to deal with this, but he still felt that it was inappropriate to use violence against violence. The other side was the government. Even though Lu Ping had the strength to fight ten thousand people, he was only one person. As the saying goes, even a tiger needs to take a nap. No matter how strong Lu Ping was, he could not possibly watch over everything, could he? This was not a long term plan!
Thinking of this, Lu Qing had a worried expression. But at this time, everyone in the college was overjoyed that Lu Ping had successfully brought back five people. They were more confident about the future of the college. Lu Qing looked at everyone's excited expressions and did not immediately run out to say anything that would ruin the mood. He wanted to find a time to discuss this with Lu Ping and the others in private.
Lu Qing made such a plan, but Lu Ping and the others had already begun to consider the long term.
"You mean, Wei Tianqi is not in the City Lord's residence?" Fang Yizhu said after listening to the news brought back by Lu Ping. Fang Yizhu was after all a graduate of Zhenfeng College. Although Wei Tianqi was still young when he was there, he was still aware of the situation of the Wei Family of Gorge Peak. So he was not unfamiliar with their information.
"Yes. From their words, Wei Tianqi has always claimed that he is in seclusion. Today I found out that he is not in the City Lord's residence. "Lu Ping said.
"Then he has been gone for several days." Fang Yizhu said.
"Can you stop talking nonsense?" Morin rolled his eyes and continued his tradition of nitpicking on Fang Yizhu.
Fang Yizhu always ignored Morin's nitpicking. He continued his train of thought and said, "Then he left after you went back to Gorge Peak City and beat him up. His disappearance is probably targeted at you."
"Beat him up?" Lu Ping was puzzled.
"I understand." Fang Yizhu said.
"I will be careful." Lu Ping said, "There is nothing else I can do."
