Chapter 24 Return to College

The silence all around was eerie.

The daylight was crushed by darkness, and the stars twinkled. When night fell and the sun rose, the dew on the grass reflected the stiff figures of everyone.

Shuang Youyou was covered with the quilt that was supposed to be placed in the tent. Ye Jingqiu and Shen Qingqing had changed her into clean clothes, and her face was covered with a white handkerchief.

Ye Jingqiu leaned against the tree silently, but his eyes were always fixed on Shuang Youyou.

Lu Si'en saw everything, took the bird eggs that Song Liyang had just roasted and walked towards her.

Ye Jingqiu only felt that there was a figure beside her, blocking the light. She looked up blankly and saw a bird egg in front of her. "Lu Sien?"

Lu Si'en placed the bird egg in Ye Jingqiu's hand and then sat down beside her. "You haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Eat something."

"I can't eat." Ye Jingqiu lowered his head.

Lu Si'en narrowed his eyes and said, "I know you feel bad, but this is how the Douluo Continent is. The strong prey on the weak. This is not your fault."

"The relationship between soul beasts and humans is inherently like this. The relationship between hunter and prey can change at any time. It's either you die or I die."

Ye Jingqiu turned to look at Lu Si'en, "But she could have lived well. Did you see the knife on Pilihu? Do you remember the group of people we met when we left the academy?"

Lu Si'en looked straight at Ye Jingqiu, "I remember."

"I feel like they're involved in this matter. It was originally a grudge between them and me, but now they've dragged innocent people into this."

Lu Si'en said, "Then revenge must be taken, and injustice must be avenged. For what happened today, blood debt must be repaid with blood. I will help you."

Ye Jingqiu turned her head and looked at Lu Si'en in surprise. She had no evidence. Lu Si'en had always been a very calm person and would not be so impulsive. But at this moment, he stood on her side without hesitation.

Ye Jingqiu nodded vigorously, "Song Baiyu, I won't let her go."

The sun is at its hottest at noon, and it feels like being in a steamer when it falls on people.

Shuang Zuozuo successfully absorbed the spirit ring and stood up with a look of joy on his face. "Thank you all for your help. I am now a great spirit master."

But no one could laugh, and everyone's face looked extremely serious.

Shuang Zuozuo was stunned and looked at everyone and asked cautiously, "Did something happen?"

Then she looked around in the crowd, but did not see Shuang Youyou. Ye Jingqiu lowered his head and walked aside, and Shen Qingqing followed closely behind. As the two left, the corpse on the ground was exposed in front of Shuang Zuozuo.

Shuang Zuozuo turned her head in disbelief and looked at Xie Yue, who lowered his head and avoided her gaze.

Shuang Zuozuo stumbled forward and lifted the white cloth with trembling hands. Even though the human form could no longer be seen, Shuang Zuozuo still recognized Shuang Youyou at a glance.

The connection between bloodlines is more than just the skin.

Shuang Zuozuo knelt beside Shuang Youyou, his hands trembling as he wanted to touch her charred face, but his hands dropped weakly.

When the sad crying sounded, Ye Jingqiu felt very uncomfortable and quickly walked aside and looked away.

Almost instantly, Lu Si'en's eyes fell on Ye Jingqiu, but this time he didn't go over. He just silently paid attention to her situation.

"What's going on?" Shuang Zuozuo's hoarse voice sounded after a long time.

Xie Yue stepped forward and explained the whole story, but ultimately didn't mention their suspicions that Song Baiyu and his men were responsible. After all, there was no concrete evidence. Shuang Zuozuo, upon hearing this, said, "It must have been that group. Zhang Wanhao and my sister were in the same class. We weren't particularly gifted, but because we were sisters, we were able to perform spirit fusion techniques. As a result, we were able to cultivate faster than him, and he's been holding a grudge against us ever since."

"We just rejected him, and that person is vindictive. It must be him!"

Seeing Shuang Zuozuo on the verge of collapse, Xie Yue quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "We will report this to the academy when we get back, and they will receive the punishment they deserve."

Shuang Zuozuo nodded vigorously, then lowered her head to look at Shuang Youyou, but Lu Sien did not ignore the hatred that flashed in her eyes.

The group did not stay here for too long. Shuang Zuozuo had already absorbed all the soul rings, and they were in the Soul Hunting Forest. The teacher who had been following them was nowhere to be found.

In order to prevent the situation from happening again, everyone left quickly. During this time, Xie Yue saw that Shuang Zuozuo was having some difficulty carrying Shuang Youyou on his back, so he offered to help.

But Shuang Zuozuo verbally refused.

Compared to the ease they felt when they came, the group now seemed extremely heavy-hearted.

Because of Shuang Zuozuo, everyone's speed of returning was obviously much slower.

……

Ye Jingqiu was lost in thought for a moment as he stared at the gate of the academy.

Lu Si'en hadn't taken his eyes off Ye Jingqiu the entire way. Seeing her pause, he quickly walked over to her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Ye Jingqiu finally came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay."

As soon as everyone stepped into the gate of the Spirit Hall Academy, they saw Song Baiyu and others standing not far away, and the teacher who assigned the tasks at the beginning was also standing in front of them, saying something.

When Song Baiyu saw Ye Jingqiu, the corners of his lips curled up in a malicious smile.

Yan had always had a short temper. He didn't care about anything else and rushed forward and shouted, "You bunch of despicable villains, did you attract that thousand-year-old soul beast?"

Zhang Wanhao, the fat boy next to Song Baiyu, said, "What are you talking about? How come we don't understand what you mean by thousand-year soul beast?" He sneered.

Yan stepped forward and punched Zhang Wanhao in the face. This time he used all his strength, and instantly Zhang Wanhao had a dark circle under his eyes.

Zhang Wanhao gave a strange smile, then turned to look at the teacher, "Teacher, the school rules stipulate that students cannot fight anywhere other than the fighting arena, but you were watching from the side."

Yan couldn't stand this with his temper, so he went up and prepared to throw another punch.

Xie Yue quickly stepped forward to hold him back, then turned to look at the teacher and said, "Our team had a little accident, and he's a little emotionally unstable."

Yan looked at Zhang Wanhao with anger.

The teacher frowned and asked, "Do you know the school rules of the academy?"

"I know." Xie Yue said.

"Since you knew that, why did you fight in front of me? What do you mean by this?" The teacher looked at the two of them with a bad expression.

Ye Jingqiu stared at the complacent Song Baiyu for a while, then stepped forward and casually threw something to the teacher, "So what if we fight today?"
