"You saw Jun Xie?" Ning Rui said, his eyes sweeping over Gu Ying's bloodstained hand. The blood had not dried and a few drops had fallen onto the floor.
Gu Ying sat down on a chair at the side and his legs were propped up on the desk. He looked lazily at Ning Rui and said: "Yes, I've seen you before. Seems like an old acquaintance."
Ning Rui's heart skipped a beat and he stared in surprise at Gu Ying.
Gu Ying laughed and said: "What a pity, I had not expected him to be Jun Xie."
Ning Rui did not dare to respond.
"I will be staying in the little bamboo grove for the time being. You can go find out more about that Fan Zhuo on your own. If you really need my help, I will not refuse." Gu Ying said.
"Alright." Ning Rui nodded cautiously.
"The Zephyr Academy only needs to retain Gu Li Sheng and Jun Xie and the others can be sent to the Heaven's End Cliff. When do you intend to make your move?" Gu Ying rested his chin in his hand and looked at Ning Rui. "Fan Qi has been dead for so long and the entire Zephyr Academy is now under your sole control. What are you delaying for?"
Gu Ying was starting to get a little impatient.
Ning Rui gulped. "It's not that I don't want to do it, but ….. Wen Xin Han is currently in the Zephyr Academy. I had initially wanted to shift the blame for Fan Qi's death onto Fan Jin and get rid of Fan Jin as well. I would then spread the news of Fan Zhuo's death and I would then be able to legitimately become the Headmaster of the Zephyr Academy and mobilize all the disciples here to go to the Heaven's End Cliff. But Wen Xin Han had suddenly returned at that moment and protected Fan Jin. Now that he is in the Zephyr Academy, if I were to do anything out of line, as the Headmaster of the Zephyr Academy, he would have the right to stop me."
Ning Rui hadn't taken any action, not because he'd found his conscience, but because of the presence of the Honorary Headmaster, suppressing his actions.
Gu Ying's brows creased up slightly. He had met that Wen Xin Han before. Although he was an old man past sixty years of age, but he was actually a purple spirit!
Although Gu Ying was able to temporarily raise his spirit powers to the purple level, but compared to a true purple spirit, there was still a huge gap. Even as arrogant as he was, he still did not dare to cross swords with Wen Xin Han.
"Didn't you say that Wen Xin Han was just an indigo spirit?" Gu Ying asked impatiently.
The Lower Realm had not produced a Purple Spirit in a hundred years, where had this Wen Xin Han sprung out from?
"That ….. I don't know either. He came here with an indigo spirit, but I don't know how he suddenly rose to become a purple spirit." Ning Rui said helplessly.
Wen Xin Han's appearance had completely disrupted their plans and Gu Ying was the only one in the Zephyr Academy. The other companions with Gu Ying were not here and with Gu Ying's current level of power, it would be highly difficult for him to challenge a true purple spirit.
This was the reason why Fan Jin was able to survive until now.
A true Purple Spirit, would give Ning Rui and Gu Ying a lot of worry.
"Think of a way to get rid of him." Gu Ying said impatiently.
Ning Rui replied: "I have already sent people to make the arrangements. Wen Xin Han has a grandson whose life is in danger and he had been collaborating with the Qing Yun Clan to save his grandson. Now that the Qing Yun Clan has disappeared and only the Cloud Treading Peak's Elder Mu Chen is left, I have already arranged for people to find out Mu Chen's whereabouts. Once we find Mu Chen, we will be able to pass the news to Wen Xin Han. He will definitely prioritize his grandson's life and leave the Zephyr Academy to go look for Mu Chen."
Gu Ying nodded. "Settle it as soon as possible."
"Yes." Ning Rui replied.
Gu Ying stood up to leave and when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head to look at Ning Rui and said with a smile: "A chair where someone died, does it feel good sitting on it?"
Ning Rui's body stiffened and Gu Ying walked away laughing.
