In the Celestial Pavilion, Wang Yurou found Ye Futian.
Seeing Wang Yurou in a hurry, Ye Futian asked, "You've just recovered. What's so urgent?"
"My sister came just now. She asked me to tell you something," Wang Yurou said.
"What is it?" Ye Futian's expression was strange.
"She said that Jiang Nan is very tactful. He's always polite to people who are higher than him. That day, Jiang Nan humiliated me and Shen Yu at the Celestial Pavilion. He didn't care about the Celestial Pavilion's background. It's strange." Wang Yurou looked at Ye Futian and said, "Coincidentally, I bumped into you. Not long after you came back, Shang Zhan and his wife from the Yunyue Business Alliance came to the Celestial Pavilion."
Ye Futian's expression tensed up. Wang Yurou continued, "Also, Jiang Nan has always wanted to get close to Jin Yunxiao, but Jin Yunxiao has always been indifferent to him, not even looking him in the eye. However, not long ago, Jiang Nan started following Jin Yunxiao."
Ye Futian closed his eyes as if in deep thought.
Wang Yuqing obviously wouldn't ask Wang Yurou to tell him something for no reason. Moreover, it just happened to involve Jiang Nan and Jin Yunxiao.
These things seemed to be separate, but if one were to think about them together, it would be somewhat meaningful.
That day, the assassination failed and the two committed suicide on the spot. They were Shang Yunfeng's parents and it was natural for them to avenge their son. No one would think that they needed someone else to do it.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, there was no mastermind behind this incident. It was just a very obvious case of revenge assassination.
But now, it seemed that because the couple was avenging their son, they all neglected some things.
He cultivated in the Starry School all day. Why did Shang Zhan and his wife coincidentally come on that day? The couple was obviously very sure that he was in the Celestial Pavilion. Otherwise, they wouldn't have a chance to enter the Celestial Pavilion in the future.
Of course, it was also possible that the couple had been monitoring the Celestial Pavilion. If they wanted revenge, they naturally had to watch. This was not an obvious flaw.
What was strange was what Wang Yuqing said. Why did Shang Zhan and his wife arrive not long after Jiang Nan made trouble at the Celestial Pavilion that day?
When he chatted with the Wang family leader that day, it seemed that Yunyue City was not sensitive to what happened in the Divine Sky City. The Shang Zhan couple returned to Yunyue City, but how did they know his identity and return to the Divine Sky City? This was also not a loophole. It was also possible that the Shang Zhan couple had been paying attention to the movements in the Divine Sky City. However, Jiang Nan happened to be very clear about this.
Naturally, there was no need for a mastermind to take revenge for his son. However, informing him of the news and helping to arrange the timing was still possible. Furthermore, it could be done without anyone noticing. It was foolproof and there was almost no risk.
Ye Futian opened his eyes. There seemed to be a cold smile at the corner of his eyes. He actually did not notice it at all.
"Sister, do you mean that Jiang Nan is also involved in this assassination?" After hearing her sister's words, Wang Yurou hurried to find Ye Futian. Clearly, she realized the hidden meaning in these words.
"I don't know." Ye Futian smiled and said, "Let the seniors of the Starry School check it."
The matter involved a disciple of the Starry School. Naturally, it was not convenient for him to convict the culprit, especially when the young master of the Jin Clan, Jin Yunxiao, was also involved.
"Shen Yu," Ye Futian said.
"Pavilion Master," Shen Yu answered from the side.
"Order the people from the Dragon Clan to go to the West Court and pass on Yurou's words to the madam. Go to the Gu Clan yourself and pass on the message," Ye Futian said. He then left to find the elders of the Starry School.
…
In the Starry School, in the courtyard where Jin Yunxiao was, a few figures descended from the sky.
Seeing the people, Jin Yunxiao's expression changed. He asked, "Uncle, why are you here?"
"Follow me back to the Nine Cloud Palace," the person said coldly.
"What's the matter?" Jin Yunxiao's expression changed.
"We'll talk when we get back. The clan leader wants to see you." The person nodded. Jin Yunxiao nodded, then said to Jiang Nan, "You can go."
"Yes, senior." Jiang Nan bowed and retreated. In front of others, he still addressed Jin Yunxiao as senior.
Jin Yunxiao and the people of the Jin Clan left in the air. Jiang Nan was a little confused. He did not know why the people of the Jin Clan suddenly came to take Jin Yunxiao away.
He walked out of the courtyard, feeling a little uneasy. Could it be that something had happened?
Impossible, this matter was flawless, there was absolutely no way that anything would go wrong.
Even the Shang Zhan couple, who had tried to assassinate Ye Futian, had died on the spot.
Walking out of the courtyard and strolling on the road, a group of people walked towards him. This group of people all had an extraordinary aura and a cold expression. They stopped in front of Jiang Nan. Many people in the surroundings looked over. Many disciples quietly retreated, clearly knowing who these people were.
They were from the Starry School's Punishment Institution. They were in charge of the punishments in the Starry School.
Seeing them stop in front of him, Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat. Although he was still standing there steadily, his legs were already trembling slightly.
"Jiang Nan greets Masters and Senior Brothers." Jiang Nan suppressed the fear in his heart and bowed.
"Jiang Nan, come with us," the person said coldly. That person coldly spoke. Jiang Nan's countenance turned somewhat pale as he asked, "Dare I ask master and senior brothers, what is the matter?"
"Let's go to the Punishment Hall first." The people stood there and stared at Jiang Nan's body coldly like statues. Although Jiang Nan tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, his voice still trembled slightly and he said, "Alright, teachers and senior, this way please."
"Let's go." Everyone turned and walked away. Jiang Nan walked among the crowd. Seeing this scene, the surrounding disciples instantly started discussing. The Punishment Institution rarely intervened. After all, the Top Three Schools were places of cultivation and the rules were not strict. As long as the situation was not too serious, the Punishment Institution would not be mobilized. However, once the Punishment Institution was mobilized, it could mean that something big had happened.
What trouble did Jiang Nan get into?
In the Punishment Hall, a dignified figure sat on the main seat. There were many people on both sides with cold expressions. The entire hall was filled with a cold murderous intent.
When Jiang Nan saw the old man sitting on the main seat, his heart trembled violently and his face turned pale.
It was the Punishment Institution's Chief Punishment Elder, Elder Lu.
He, Jiang Nan, was only in the Arcana Plane and an ordinary disciple. What kind of big matter would require a powerful Sage Plane elder to personally interrogate him?
The entire hall was dead silent, so quiet that it was a little scary. In such an environment, Jiang Nan seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.
"Confess yourself." Elder Lu stared at Jiang Nan for a long time before speaking. His voice seemed to have an inexplicable pressure.
Jiang Nan lowered his head and bowed, "Elder Lu, I don't understand."
"Before the college chief conferred the title of Son, he once gathered all the elders of the school for a discussion. The college chief wanted to revive the Divine Path, so he broke all shackles and conferred the title of Son, creating the holy crown and holy robe, ignoring all obstacles. Although the Jin Clan might not agree, they did not say anything after that because they saw the college chief's determination."
Elder Lu seemed to have said something inexplicable, and then said, "Since you have done it, don't try to deceive me. You are very clear about the means of cultivators. If you confess everything, I can give you the lightest punishment."
Jiang Nan's face was ashen. Although he had been scared along the way, he still had a sliver of hope.
However, Elder Lu's words directly shattered all of his hopes.
He was very clear that when the Punishment Institution confirmed something, they would definitely investigate it to the end. It was fine if he did not do it, but once he did it, there was no way he could escape.
Bringing him directly to the Punishment Hall was clearly not just a simple suspicion.
The experts of the Punishment Institution had too many ways to make him speak the truth. In front of a Sage Plane cultivator, all disguises were just a joke.
Many stern and cold gazes fell on him. Jiang Nan's legs and hands began to tremble slightly.
Cultivation was not easy. He was born in a small clan in the Divine Sky City. It was not easy for him to have his current achievements, to cultivate in the Starry School, and to become a Noble Plane cultivator soon.
Elder Lu said that he had seen the college chief's determination, so he was even more clear that he could not bear the crime of murdering the Son.
With a thud, Jiang Nan knelt on the ground, trembling, and buried his head in the ground. He said, "Elder Lu, I was just jealous of the Son's talent and received the college chief's favor. Therefore, I told Senior Brother Jin Yunxiao about the death of Yunyue Business Alliance's Shang Yunfeng. Everything that happened after was Jin Yunxiao's plan. I was just following orders."
Elder Lu looked at Jiang Nan, who had buried his head in the ground, and said coldly, "In that case, Jin Yunxiao invited this person from the Yunyue Business Alliance to the Divine Sky City and brought him to the Celestial Pavilion to assassinate him?"
"Yes." Jiang Nan still buried his head in the ground. He said, "I know that I have disgraced the reputation of the Starry School and am willing to be expelled. Please, elder."
"Since you came to the Starry School to cultivate, you are already a disciple of the school. Murdering the Son, assisting in the planning, and now you want to leave the school? What a joke," Elder Lu said. "Your cultivation was learned in the Starry School. I said that I would be lenient. I won't kill you, but I will destroy your cultivation and expel you from the Starry School."
"Elder Lu." Jiang Nan raised his head, his eyes filled with endless fear. Destroy his cultivation and expel him from the Starry School?
"No, Elder Lu, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong …" Jiang Nan cried out in fear.
A disciple walked up and brought Jiang Nan out.
"No, no …" Jiang Nan roared crazily, but he was still dragged out of the hall. Very soon, there were cries of pain. Then, he was brought out of the Starry School and thrown outside the gate.
The Starry School was in an uproar. Then, someone saw a group of people from the Punishment Institution flying in the air, leaving the school directly and heading in the direction of the Jin Clan's Nine Cloud Palace.
After a while, an explosive piece of news spread through the Starry School. The assassination of the Son, Ye Futian, involved Starry School's disciples. One of them was Jiang Nan, who had his cultivation destroyed and was expelled from the school.
The other was the pride of the Jin Clan and the genius of the Starry School, Jin Yunxiao.
The Starry School was in an uproar.
