Fan Zhuo's appearance caused an uproar!
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at Fan Zhuo, who was like an elegant young master, stepping on the setting sun as he approached.
A crack appeared on Ning Rui's face. He had sent people out to search for Fan Zhuo's whereabouts for a long time, but there had been no news. He had never imagined that Fan Zhuo would appear at this time!
If they had been a moment later, the disciples of the Zephyr Academy would have already boarded their horse carriages and left the academy!
Fan Zhuo's sudden appearance had caused many disciples in the Zephyr Academy to be in a heated discussion. Everyone knew that the Zephyr Academy's rule had always been that upon the Headmaster's death, the position of Headmaster would be passed down to the Headmaster's children. Fan Jin, as the adopted son and the "murderer" who murdered Fan Qi, was naturally not qualified to inherit the position. Fan Qi's real son, Fan Zhuo, had coincidentally disappeared at the same time and was nowhere to be found. That was why Ning Rui had become the acting Headmaster of the Zephyr Academy, overseeing all the affairs within the academy, big and small.
But now, Fan Zhuo had actually returned …
Countless probing gazes began to wander back and forth between Fan Zhuo and Ning Rui!
Ning Rui's face darkened even further. If he had found out Fan Zhuo's location earlier, he would have been able to send his men to kill Fan Zhuo first. If Fan Zhuo had returned at any other time, he would have been able to assassinate him in secret. But Fan Zhuo had returned right before the eyes of all the disciples of the Zephyr Academy and that had made it impossible for Ning Rui to kill him!
"Xiao Zhuo? You're finally back! It's been so long, but I haven't seen any trace of you. I'm really anxious. " Realizing that he could not touch Fan Zhuo now, Ning Rui immediately put on a worried expression and spoke to Fan Zhuo in a serious tone.
There was a gentle smile on Fan Zhuo's face, just as humble and submissive as the impression he had left on Ning Rui.
"Uncle Ning, long time no see. How have you been?"
When Ning Rui saw that Fan Zhuo's smile did not change and he even called him 'Uncle Ning' in a friendly manner, he knew that Fan Zhuo did not know the truth behind Fan Qi's death and he heaved a sigh of relief.
Fan Zhuo was not like Fan Jin. He had a weak personality and had lived in the bamboo grove for a long time. He was even more simple-minded than Fan Jin. Ning Rui could even control Fan Jin, so he was even more confident in controlling Fan Zhuo.
"Alright, everything is fine, but your father and big brother …" Ning Rui looked at Fan Zhuo, his face full of sorrow.
Fan Zhuo was slightly taken aback as a trace of worry appeared on his face.
"What happened to my father and big brother?"
Ning Rui snickered in his heart, but his expression did not change as he said, "Sigh, your father was killed half a month ago, and the murderer who killed your father was your big brother! I had watched Fan Jin grow up from a very young age and I had never thought that he would have such wild ambitions. He saw that your body was gradually recovering and he was afraid that the position of the Headmaster of the Zephyr Academy would not be his to sit in the future. Hence, he started to harbor evil intentions and wanted to take advantage of your absence to force your father to hand over the position of Headmaster to him. But your father was not willing to be controlled by anyone! Who would have thought that Fan Jin would fly into a rage out of humiliation and kill your father! "
Ning Rui told Fan Zhuo everything with tears streaming down his face. His face was full of sorrow, but there was a hint of evil in his eyes.
With Fan Zhuo's physique, hearing such grievous news, even if he didn't lose half his life, he probably wouldn't be able to endure it, right?
As long as Fan Zhuo collapsed, he could immediately send someone to bring Fan Zhuo for "treatment" and then use the excuse that Fan Zhuo's old illness had relapsed to send him to reunite with Fan Qi!
