A figure suddenly flashed across Ouyang Hong's mind, and he was shocked. "Could it be that kid?"
Shi Jin was also surprised. Just as he was feeling puzzled, a voice came from outside. "Shi Jin, how did you brag in front of me before? You said I was too arrogant and that I wouldn't live long, right? What, you're hiding here like a tortoise after saying those harsh words? "
Hearing this, Shi Jin's mind spun rapidly, and he immediately remembered who the person was.
Shi Jin's expression immediately darkened.
"Qin Yi! That little bastard, how dare he come to my cave abode and behave atrociously? "Shi Jin was infuriated.
He had not seen Qin Yi for some time. Ever since Qin Yi had returned from the Forsaken Land of the Gods, he had brought back a series of bountiful harvests for Yin-Yang Academy.
This had allowed Qin Yi's status to soar among the younger generation of Yin-Yang Academy, to the point where he was almost on par with true disciples like Jiang Kui and Ning Qiancheng.
Shi Jin had always been brooding over this.
He felt that the academy's higher-ups thought too highly of this new student. He even felt that the academy's higher-ups were purposely trying to boost Qin Yi's reputation.
However, Shi Kun had also participated in the trip to the Forsaken Land of the Gods. He had told him many things about Qin Yi. Especially the matter of the higher-ups of Jinluo Nation's Yin-Yang Academy chasing and intercepting him. Shi Kun had spoken very clearly.
This made Shi Jin rather fearful. An existence that could kill the higher-ups of Jinluo Academy was actually so polite to that kid Qin Yi?
What was his relationship with that kid Qin Yi?
However, according to Qin Yi, the mysterious senior had only helped Qin Yi because he owed Qin Yi a favor in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
In other words, they had only met by chance, and there was no iron-clad friendship between them.
Over time, with the improvement of Shi Jin's strength and the expansion of his self-confidence, as time went by, the matter of Qin Yi knowing the mysterious expert slowly faded.
Coupled with the recent upheaval in the Royal Capital, Shi Jin saw an opportunity for the Shi family, and saw the weak side of the Education Palace.
This caused Shi Jin's admiration for the academy to slowly crumble. Instead, he started to look down on the academy.
Right now, Shi Jin was planning to gain popularity in the academy and make his voice heard, but Qin Yi actually came knocking on his door.
This was no different from directly declaring war on him, Shi Jin.
In Shi Jin's heart, naturally rage rose from his heart, and evil rose from his guts.
"Qin Yi, you brat …"
As soon as the door to the cave opened, Shi Jin jumped out, pointed at Qin Yi, and was about to curse.
However, as soon as he said a few words, he was directly interrupted by Qin Yi's action.
Qin Yi raised his arm and threw something at him.
This thing didn't carry much force, and it wasn't thrown in an offensive manner. Shi Jin subconsciously reached out to catch it.
He almost shuddered when he looked at it.
A dead man's head was in his hand. The eyes of the dead man were wide open as he stared at him.
Upon closer inspection, this dead man's head belonged to none other than his cousin, Shi Kun!
Shi Jin's heart clenched in that instant, and cold sweat broke out on his back. His eyes filled with blood and hatred as he glared at Qin Yi.
"You did this?" Shi Jin's voice was so cold that it could almost freeze the air around him.
Qin Yi, on the other hand, was nonchalant as he shrugged. "I did it."
"Damn you!" Shi Jin roared, his eyes bloodshot as he hissed, "Do you know what you've done? Do you know how grave a crime you've committed that warrants the death penalty? "
Qin Yi smiled leisurely. "Are you judging me? On whose behalf? On behalf of the Education Palace, or on behalf of your secular Shi family? "
Shi Jin was stumped by this question.
His mind buzzed. Evidently, the impact of Shi Kun's dead head on his mind was too great, and he couldn't calm down for a moment.
Qin Yi glanced at him coolly, then at Ouyang Hong. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, seeming to be full of meaning.
When he thought of Shi Kun's treasonous words from before, Qin Yi didn't even need to think to know that Shi Jin was trying to persuade Ouyang Hong, or perhaps even bewitch him.
However, judging from Ouyang Hong's evasive expression, he clearly hadn't reached an agreement with Shi Jin yet.
He smiled leisurely. "Senior brother Ouyang, let me guess. Someone like Shi Jin wouldn't invite you over for no reason. I'm guessing that he's trying to persuade you? That you betray the Education Palace? Or that you join the Shi family? "
Ouyang Hong was at a loss for what to do after being provoked by Qin Yi's sharp words.
"Qin Yi, don't slander me and frame me." Ouyang Hong was clearly lacking in confidence.
Qin Yi waved his hand disdainfully. "I have no interest in framing you. Ouyang Hong, let me remind you that there's no unresolvable hatred between us. Therefore, it's best if you don't get involved in my feud with Shi Jin today. Of course, if you've already formed an alliance with him and want to shoulder this matter together, that's up to you. But don't blame me for not warning you afterwards. This is a crime punishable by death! "
A trace of panic flashed across Ouyang Hong's face.
For some reason, Ouyang Hong hadn't taken Shi Jin's harsh words to heart even though he'd been tempted.
But Qin Yi's words weren't as harsh as Shi Jin's, and yet they still made Ouyang Hong feel an inexplicable sense of panic.
He felt that Qin Yi's words were especially persuasive.
Ouyang Hong moved to the side and mumbled, "I have no interest in getting involved in your feud."
Ouyang Hong's words had undoubtedly made a decision. He didn't intend to stand on Shi Jin's side, nor did he intend to get involved with Shi Jin and betray the academy.
This choice immediately made Shi Jin and his two lackeys' faces darken.
Shi Jin had also calmed down by this time.
He had been stunned by Shi Kun's head earlier and was slightly absent-minded. At the end of the day, it was because his strength had increased too quickly that he hadn't had enough time to develop his confidence. That was why he was momentarily timid.
When he regained his confidence, he recalled that he was already at rank 2 of the Dao foundation realm. What did he have to feel guilty about facing a new student like Qin Yi?
His expression turned cold as he said in a deep voice, "Qin Yi, you killed a fellow disciple and are a disciple of the Shi family. Whether it's from the academy's or the Shi family's standpoint, I have sufficient reason to kill you today! "
Qin Yi laughed out loud. "From the Shi family's standpoint, you do indeed have reason. However, from the academy's standpoint, you can forget about it! "
"What do you mean by that?" Shi Jin asked coldly.
"Stop pretending. That pig-like cousin of yours has already revealed all the secrets of the Shi family. Your family secretly sided with the Yun family and participated in the coup in the royal capital. You even flirted with the mastermind behind the Yun family. You're trying to deal with Yin-Yang Academy. You, Shi Jin, are a pawn that works from within and without! "
