Before a cry of pain could escape from Zhao Xun's mouth, Qiao Chu had already covered his mouth and Zhao Xun's face immediately turned red, filled with agony.
"Don't make me ask a second time." Jun Wu Xie looked at Zhao Xun without the slightest hint of pity, her eyes filled with a chilling glint.
Qiao Chu slowly released his hand, but the hand that had been on Zhao Xun's shoulder had already shifted to his neck. His fingers tightened slightly as he held onto Zhao Xun's neck, as if he would only need to exert the slightest bit of strength and Zhao Xun's neck would be broken.
Zhao Xun had never seen such a scene before. He was merely a disciple of an ordinary academy. Usually, he would only spar with his seniors and juniors. But today, for the first time, he actually felt that death was so close to him!
He stared in terror at Jun Wu Xie sitting upright upon the chair, the disdain in his heart instantly turning into terror. Never in his dreams would he have thought that the youth who was widely regarded as an idiot by all the other academies, who had only managed to cling onto the Crown Prince's thigh, would be so vicious!
"You ….. What do you really want? This is the Hua Wan Academy's grounds, do you really dare to lay a hand on me here? If you really do! The news will be sent out tomorrow! " Terror made Zhao Xun's entire body turn cold, but he did not dare to speak the truth. Once he opened his mouth, even if Jun Wu Xie did not take his life, that Lord would definitely not spare him.
"You can try." Jun Wu Xie shrugged, not wavering in the slightest against Zhao Xun's threat.
Zhao Xun was about to say something else, but Jun Wu Xie did not intend to continue listening to his nonsense. She nodded at Qiao Chu and Qiao Chu's hand around Zhao Xun's neck suddenly tightened!
In just an instant! Zhao Xun's face turned green and he struggled in agony, trying to pry Qiao Chu's hand off. But with that little bit of strength he had, how could he even budge Qiao Chu in the slightest?
"If not for the fact that you are still of some use, you would already be dead by now." Jun Wu Xie said as she stared coldly at Zhao Xun whose face was turning uglier and uglier. She had not taken any action earlier because she was not sure what kind of methods the Yan Country's Emperor would use against Lei Chen. But that did not mean that she would remain silent and allow others to use her as a pawn.
If he had the guts to frame her, then he would have to be prepared for close contact with death!
Zhao Xun's face had turned purple and white, his four limbs struggling and twisting. His eyes were wide open and his hands clutched tightly at Qiao Chu's sleeves, his eyes filled with despair.
"Let him go." Jun Wu Xie said just before Zhao Xun breathed his last.
Only then did Qiao Chu let go.
Fresh air once again rushed into his chest and Zhao Xun lay on the ground, coughing violently. The agony of being so close to death caused him to choke till tears and mucus flowed down his face. But he did not have the slightest hesitation in his heart as the endless fear continued to gnaw at his entire body. He raised his head with great difficulty, and looked fearfully at the youth sitting upon the chair, not moving an inch. He did not doubt in the slightest that if he dared to change the topic again, Jun Xie would really ask Qiao Chu to kill him!
"I … I don't know who he is. He found me after the lots were drawn. He … he told me to give up on the next round. He told me to hint to others that this was all done by the Crown Prince … I really don't know who he is! I'm telling the truth! "Zhao Xun was practically crying as he spoke. His face was covered in tears and snot, making him look extremely pathetic.
