Chapter 266 266. Doubt

Soon, the voice of Elder Zhang shouting spread throughout the Tianfen Qi Training Tower. A group of elders guarding the tower immediately rushed to the first floor and began to check Gao Wang's injuries.

"The heart fire has burned all his internal organs. Even if he takes a sixth-grade elixir, it can't save him."

After examining Gao Wang's body, an elder at the Dou Wang level shook his head, his eyes filled with regret.

With Gao Wang's talent, if nothing unexpected happens, he will at worst be a Dou Wang in the future. If he has sufficient resources, he may be able to make an impact to become a Dou Huang or even a Dou Zong.

But now... Alas! How could such a good child be gone just like that?

At this moment, the Douhuang elder who was in charge of guarding the bottom of the tower pointed to the position of the two Douwang elders and said loudly: "You guys, hand over the body of this student to Elder Su Qian. The rest of you, clear the area with me!"

After this happened, the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower obviously could not continue to be open. After clearing all the students out, the elders closed the door of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower and hurried to Su Qian's office.

Some students died in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. No matter which floor the elders on duty were in charge of, none of them would escape Su Qian's punishment.

……

In the office of the Grand Elder of the Inner Court, Su Qian had a gloomy face and stared coldly at the nine tower-guarding elders in front of him.

Snapped!
Su Qian slammed the table hard and shouted angrily: "A student at the level of a great fighter can actually be burned to death by the heart fire on the first floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. Good-for-nothings! You are all good-for-nothings!"

This is where Xiaoqing's cleverness lies. She did not plant a wisp of blue lotus heart fire in Gao Wang's body. She simply amplified the heart fire in his body through some means. The blue flame that Gao Wang saw was just an illusion.

Idiot, Gao Wang is a complete idiot. If he had resisted with all his might when he discovered the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, and had made some noise, he would have had a chance of survival.

Going back to reality.

Elder Zhang, who is in charge of guarding the first floor, is a student who has just graduated from the inner courtyard. He is only in his twenties this year, and his strength is only at the peak of Dou Ling.

Facing Su Qian's rebuke, Elder Zhang actually started to cry in grievance, "Great Elder Su Qian, this is not my fault. He was almost burned to death by the fire in his heart, but he didn't make a sound. Even if he had knocked on the ground a few more times with his hands, I would not have missed a look."

These words instantly aroused the empathy of all the elders, and they all pleaded with Su Qian for this young elder.

"Great Elder, this is not Elder Zhang's fault. He has been in Canaan College for almost ten years. We old guys have watched him grow up. He is not the kind of person who neglects his duties and does not help others in need."

"Yes, Great Elder. Elder Zhang doesn't have any strange hobbies. There's no need for him to target a student he doesn't even know."

This group of elders could be considered old wizards, and they knew how to avoid the important issues when pleading for mercy. They did not deny that the young elder had committed negligent acts, but just kept saying that he had no motive to harm Gao Wang.

It seems like they are doing useless work, but in fact... they are indeed doing useless work, they just do it to save face and give Su Qian a way out.

Cough
Su Qian cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Stop arguing for now. We'll talk about who made the mistake and how to punish them later. I always feel that the death of this student is a bit strange. How could a student at the Grand Fighter level die under the heart fire on the first floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower and not say a word during this period?"

Before he finished speaking, a beautiful woman in red walked into the office, came to Su Qian, and said, "Grand Elder, are you looking for me?" Su Qian asked, "Su Mo, do you recognize this student?"

As he spoke, Su Qian pointed to the location of Gao Wang's body.

Su Mo glanced at the body with a hideous face and thought, "His name is Gao Wang. He won fifth place in the inner courtyard selection competition and joined the inner courtyard seven days ago. He just recovered from the injuries he received in the fire energy pursuit competition today and set off to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to practice."

"It was under my guidance that he entered the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. And I waited until he adapted to the Heart Fire before leaving the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower."

"During this period, I did not notice anything unusual."

After saying that, Su Mo bowed and walked out of the office.

Su Qian became more confused. Since it involved the safety of the inner courtyard, he couldn't afford to think too much.

At this time, the Douhuang elder said cautiously: "Great elder, only one student died. Judging from his appearance, he should not be a nobleman from a powerful force. It shouldn't make you so nervous."

Su Qian said unhappily, "Yang Can, let me ask you, do you think it is possible for a five-star Grand Master-level student to die without making a sound on the first floor of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower without any external injuries?"

Ah this
Facing Su Qian's question, Yang Can could only answer honestly: "Logically speaking, this is indeed impossible. But the question is, who would use this method to assassinate a Grand Fighter-level student? If it is because of a fight between students, ordinary students can't do this."

"This is the most puzzling part!" Su Qian said solemnly: "Everyone, the Fallen Heart Flame is the foundation of our Canaan Academy. Let's go to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower first to make sure that the seal of the Fallen Heart Flame is correct, and then we will thoroughly investigate the cause of Gao Wang's death. We must get to the bottom of this matter!"

……

In the evening, Su Qian dragged his tired body into the Zi Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, a purple-haired girl wearing a dark red princess dress who looked only twelve or thirteen years old greeted him, "Grandpa Su, what can I do for you?"

Grandpa Su?
Hearing this, Su Qian's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. Is this polite girl still the little Zi Yan who was called the King of Brute Force by the students in the inner courtyard?
Seeing that Su Qian ignored her, Zi Yan stamped her feet and said unhappily: "Old man Su, I'm asking you a question!"

Su Qian: "..."

Well, after going around in circles for a long time, he still likes this rude and brute force king.

Su Qian said calmly, "Today, a student died in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. He met Miss Miaoqing once before he died. I went to her to confirm some things."

Hearing this, Zi Yan nodded and quickly gave up her position. She trusted Old Man Su's character.

In the room, Xiaoqing was lying on a recliner reading the alchemist's experience that Gu He had given her. When she sensed Su Qian's aura, she hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "Grand Elder, you are visiting me so late at night. I am sorry for not welcoming you..."
