Chapter 226 Biting Back

The battle ended quickly.

Yuan Ling, who possessed the cultivation of the early stage of the Star Transformation Realm, was directly killed by Luo Qingfeng, Huo Man, and A Ya.

Of the other seven men and women, only two were left alive, their meridians severed.

The fight quickly alerted the patrol team.

However, Huo Man was prepared.

In order to prevent the Yuan family from causing trouble again, she had already sent someone to notify several elders in the North Courtyard when she arrived, and those elders arrived at that time.

"These martial arts practitioners have dared to kidnap the parents of a disciple of my Demon Suppression Academy and even attempt to murder my talented disciple! They are utterly audacious! My Demon Suppression Academy cannot let this go unpunished; we must find the mastermind behind this!"

So, several elders from the North Courtyard, along with the patrol team, escorted the two survivors to the yamen for interrogation.

Both were young and naturally couldn't withstand the methods of the government and the Demon Suppression Institute, so they quickly confessed.

"It was that old scoundrel Yuan Tong!"

The elders of the North Campus were shocked and furious upon receiving the confession. They immediately returned to the North Campus and reported to the Dean.

The senior executives of the North Campus were shocked, delighted, and incredulous upon hearing this.

"What?! That kid Qingfeng has already broken through to the Star Transformation Realm!"

"Star Transformation Realm! How is this possible? Didn't that kid just break through recently? How could he have done it so quickly—"

"Genius! Absolutely a genius unlike any other! Our North Campus is about to take off, hahahahahaha—"

After cheering excitedly for a while, the crowd suddenly remembered their business and their expressions changed to angry shouts.

"This Yuan Tong is utterly audacious! He actually dares to try and kill my Northern Academy's genius!"

"This matter cannot be left unresolved at our North Campus! Even if the Yuan family has connections in the main campus, we will still avenge Qingfeng!"

"Let's go! To the South Campus!"

Vice President Xu Liao, filled with righteous indignation, personally led a group of people, carrying the confession, and stormed to the South Campus.

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials in the South and North Courtyards were alarmed.

Yuan Tong was originally attending a banquet hosted by an elder of the South Courtyard. Upon receiving the news, he was naturally shocked and frightened, but had no choice but to rush back to the courtyard to confront the situation.

"Dean, my brothers, I'm innocent! Although that brat killed my nephew, it happened on the battle platform. How could I possibly retaliate behind his back? I'm from the Demon Suppression Academy. Although we have the South and North Academy, we're all one family. That brat was our most promising genius disciple. How could I dare to do such a lawless thing? I've never even heard of those two people. You can check; they're not from my Yuan family at all—"

"I swear to God, I don't know those two people at all. They are likely enemies of my Yuan family, or they may be acting on someone else's orders to frame my Yuan family and me."

Yuan Tong naturally did not admit it, and after reading the confession, he tried his best to proclaim his innocence.

The people in the North Courtyard immediately turned ashen with anger and began to rebuke him.

The senior members of the Southern Academy remained silent, while some suggested re-examining the two individuals to see if there was any other evidence.

To convince Yuan Tong, the people in the North Courtyard immediately agreed to go to the yamen for questioning.

As a result, just as the group rushed to the yamen, they learned that the two men had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Xu Liao and the others from the North Courtyard were both shocked and furious. They immediately went to examine the body themselves, but found no clues.

At this moment, Yuan Tong cried out again, "As expected, someone framed my Yuan family, wanting to leave no one to testify against them. Their intentions are truly malicious!"

"Yuan Tong! Your Yuan family is truly lawless!"

Xu Liao clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could kill him with one punch.

After a long debate between the two sides' senior management, seeing no result, they had no choice but to report the matter to the General Hospital and await its decision.

Xu Liao and the others returned to the North Courtyard in a huff and reported to the Dean.

After listening, the dean sighed, "In the past, the Northern Academy might have handled the matter impartially, and the authorities might have continued the investigation. But now—the entire Wangxing City is beset by internal and external troubles, and the demons are becoming increasingly rampant, so they can't touch the Yuan family for the time being. Even if you report to the main academy, I'm afraid it will be handled as a minor matter and then forgotten. Qingfeng and Huoman are indeed cultivation geniuses, but they are too confident and impulsive. Since they knew about the other party's conspiracy in advance, they should have notified us earlier so we could bring the memory stones and record the scene. That way, the evidence would be conclusive, and the other party would have no way to deny it—"

"Dean, are we just going to let this go like this? Our North Academy's genius disciple was almost killed by that Yuan Tong, and we're just supposed to swallow our anger?"

"An elder said angrily."

Just as the dean was about to speak, an elder rushed in, his face full of anger, and said, "Reporting to the dean, we have just received news that those old guys from the Yuan family have publicly declared that my disciples from the North Academy have insulted the Yuan family's reputation and put them in an unjust position. They are going to launch a life-or-death challenge against Qingfeng."

These words shocked and angered everyone present.

"What a dog! It actually bit back!"

"Those shameless members of the Yuan family are a disgrace to our Demon Suppression Academy!"

at the same time.

Luo Qingfeng has already brought Aya and Dong Miaomiao back home.

All the way, Dong Miaomiao angrily pressed him about his relationship with Huo Man, but Luo Qingfeng naturally didn't answer.

After dinner, Luo Qingfeng wanted her to leave.

Dong Miaomiao refused to leave, hiding behind Aya and hugging her arm, saying, "Sister Aya, the master really does have another woman outside. Maybe he's already tainted by her."

Aya glared at someone, silently angry.

Dong Miaomiao continued to embellish the story, saying, "Those two have been out together for so long, they're probably fooling around every day. Poor Sister Aya was waiting all alone at home, only to have someone else sleep with her first."

Luo Qingfeng pretended to hit her.

As Dong Miaomiao ran around Aya, she continued to chatter and mock her.

Luo Qingfeng stopped indulging her and grabbed her directly, lifting her up like an eagle carrying a chick, then threw her outside the door and quickly closed and locked it.

Dong Miaomiao cried out from outside the door, "Sir, you have no conscience! Who came to keep your sister-in-law company while you were out having fun? Who came to fight alongside you and get ravaged by you every day when you were preparing for the competition? Who was it—ah—"

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingfeng had already crossed the courtyard, picked her up, and carried her out of the alley.

"Sir, be gentle, it hurts—"

He held Dong Miaomiao in his hand, and she said with a wronged expression.

Luo Qingfeng dropped her off outside the alley. Seeing her tearful eyes and pitiful expression, and remembering how much this girl had indeed helped him, his heart softened. He could only explain, "The city has been quite turbulent lately, and the Yuan family will certainly not let this go. You shouldn't come here for now. Stay in the manor and cultivate. When I have time, I will bring Aya to see you."

With tears in her eyes, Dong Miaomiao said, "Then tell me honestly, sir, have you been played by that woman from the Blazing Fire Clan? Don't lie!"

Luo Qingfeng immediately denied it: "Of course not."

The two of them were cultivating together, how could that be called playing around? Even if it was playing around, it wasn't him who was being played around.

"Then why did that woman say you were her man?"

Dong Miaomiao asked with a look of disbelief.

Luo Qingfeng shrugged, looking helpless: "That's just the kind of person she is. She's always been domineering. Whatever she thinks is what she thinks is, even if it isn't."

Dong Miaomiao still looked at him with suspicion.

Luo Qingfeng reached out and patted her head, saying, "Alright, go back now and focus on your cultivation. Aren't you my junior sister? Your cultivation level can't even catch up with mine anymore, aren't you worried?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Miaomiao immediately felt discouraged. She pouted and looked at him with a resentful expression, saying, "I've already given up. No matter how talented I am, I can't compare to a monster like you. You're not even human. How can anyone cultivate so fast? You're practically a monster!"

"How do you swear?"

Luo Qingfeng pretended to tap her on the head.

Dong Miaomiao immediately covered her head and backed away, pouting and sobbing, "You stinky gentleman, you bad gentleman, you don't know how to cherish a lady at all, you don't understand a girl's feelings at all, hmph!"

After saying that, she turned and ran away.

The petite figure in the red dress quickly disappeared into the darkness and snow in the distance.

Luo Qingfeng stood at the alley entrance for a while before returning to the house.

Upon entering the room, he found candles lit inside, and Aya standing silently by the window, waiting for him.

Luo Qingfeng sighed, walked over and said softly, "That girl loves to talk nonsense, let's ignore her."

Aya stared at him with her dark eyes, silent and expressionless. After a while, she pointed at him, then at the outside, and then at the bed.

The meaning is clear: Did you sleep with that woman?

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Silence fell over the room.

Aya looked at him quietly, and after a moment, she left the room without lingering.

Luo Qingfeng's lips moved, as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how.

Watching the girl's silent figure disappear into the room opposite, he stood there for a while before sighing and closing the door.

Forget it, I'll just focus on cultivation.

He didn't say anything more, got into bed, and his mind went blank.

That night, the city's patrols intensified their efforts, not only searching for monsters but also checking on migrant workers and homeless people.

The following day, after Luo Qingfeng went to the North Courtyard, he received a piece of news that caused quite a stir.

Yuan Tong actually challenged him to a life-or-death duel.

"That old bastard is utterly shameless! He clearly hired someone to kill someone, but when that failed, he turned around and accused Junior Brother Luo of ruining the Yuan family's reputation!"

"Utterly shameless! Who is he? What is his cultivation level? How dare he challenge a junior! How utterly shameless!"

Liang Feng and the others in the team were all cursing with righteous indignation.

Upon hearing the news, Luo Qingfeng's face showed little emotion. However, as he left the training grounds and approached the lake, gazing towards the South Courtyard, he murmured, "Grandma, Sister Nightingale, I hope you can see it too—"
