The Zephyr Academy's holiday passed in the blink of an eye and Jun Wu Xie and the others made their way back to the academy.
The bustling Chan Lin Town had become a lot quieter after the departure of the Zephyr Academy's disciples. But by this time next month, it would once again be bustling with noise and excitement.
Qiao Chu and the others had returned to the faculty first and Jun Wu Xie and Fan Zhuo had just arrived at the Zephyr Academy's main division.
However, the moment Jun Wu Xie stepped into the Zephyr Academy, several unfriendly gazes immediately fell upon her.
There were quite a number of disciples who had remained in the academy during the holiday and they were different from the disciples who had gone to Chan Lin Town. When these people saw Jun Wu Xie, their gazes had changed from disdain to contempt and disgust.
Even Jun Wu Xie, who was usually calm and collected, noticed that something was amiss.
The atmosphere in the academy had become a little strange after Jun Wu Xie's return. As Jun Wu Xie and Fan Zhuo walked, the gazes of the disciples they passed were filled with intense hostility and disgust.
[What had happened?]
Jun Wu Xie felt that something must have happened in the few days that she had been away, or else why would the gazes that were directed at her become so venomous?
Fan Zhuo had also noticed the strange atmosphere in the academy and he quickly pulled Jun Wu Xie back to the little bamboo grove.
The two of them had just stepped into the little bamboo grove when Fan Jin, who had received the news, immediately rushed over.
"Big Brother, did something happen in the academy recently?" Fan Zhuo's face was filled with puzzlement and confusion. He could not ignore the stares directed at Jun Wu Xie.
Fan Jin was obviously more anxious than Fan Zhuo. His forehead was covered in sweat as he stared at the calm Jun Wu Xie.
"In the few days that you were away, someone spread the rumour that Li Zi Mu's death was related to you." Fan Jin had made it sound simple, but in truth, the rumour was much more vicious than he had made it out to be.
It was not known when, but they had found out that Li Zi Mu had been transferred to Jun Wu Xie's team midway through the Spirit Hunt and Li Zi Mu's name was listed among the list of disciples who had died during the Spirit Hunt.
Usually, it was normal for disciples to die during the Spirit Hunt and no one would pay attention to who had died.
But Li Zi Mu's status was different from the others. He was the only disciple to be admitted into the Spirit Healer faculty this year and that was why he had attracted the attention of many disciples. And when the news of Li Zi Mu's death came to be known by quite a number of disciples, some of them sniggered and some of them pitied him.
In the end, just as everyone was about to forget the tragedy of the Spirit Hunt, a shocking piece of news began to spread throughout the academy!
Li Zi Mu's death was directly linked to Jun Xie. On that day, Li Zi Mu had followed another team of disciples into the Battle Spirits Forest but he had encountered Jun Xie and Fan Jin's team halfway through. Rumours had it that Jun Xie had suddenly extended an invitation to Li Zi Mu, inviting him to join Fan Jin's team.
Li Zi Mu found it hard to turn down Jun Xie's kindness and he had reluctantly agreed to it. And not long after he had transferred into Jun Xie's team, he had mysteriously died in the Battle Spirits Forest.
Most of these rumors were true, except for one thing.
That was, Li Zi Mu had not been invited by Jun Xie but had volunteered to join the team of his own accord.
But it was this little twist that caused many disciples to misunderstand the entire situation.
The things that had happened between Jun Xie and Li Zi Mu had already spread throughout the academy and everyone knew that the grudge between the two was as deep as the sea.
