But Ye Changqing and the other two were also filled with unspeakable anger in their hearts: because the Asking Dao Alliance had always had a good relationship with Qianlong Gaowu for decades before this.
Donations of money and goods are made almost every year, and the amounts are not small.
Before this, the three of them had never imagined that this matter would be related to the Dao League!
No wonder Ye Changqing's face was so gloomy.
The reason why they were all captured alive and not killed on the spot was to be prepared for any eventuality: what if only one hall master of the Daoist League was causing trouble, and the others were innocent and unaware of anything
We can't kill a good person by mistake.
…
The cries of the Xiang family shook the sky, and the roars of the Xiang family men resounded throughout the entire Fenghai City!
"Revenge! Revenge!"
The Xiang family’s roar.
Countless Xiang family masters spread out their powerful spiritual thoughts, covering the entire Fenghai City.
Something big happened in the Xiang family!
Countless rumors and speculations spread rapidly throughout Fenghai City.
"What happened to the Xiang family?"
"have no idea."
"Something serious must have happened... maybe someone died!"
"I think so too, otherwise he wouldn't react so strongly!"
"Perhaps the dead person is an important person..."
"have a look… "
Some people noticed that the younger generation who came in and out of the Xiang family were all dressed in mourning; and although the older generation did not change their clothes, they were also dressed in plain clothes, either green, blue or black.
In short, all the bright clothes are gone.
"From what I've seen, it seems that the one who died was a junior?"
"Could it be Xiang Chong or Xiang Bing, the most outstanding of the younger generation?"
"Hiss... It's really possible. It is said that Qianlong Gaowu went out for a trial, and Xiang Chong and Xiang Bing both participated... But they didn't come back..."
"Hiss... this is a big deal..."
"More than just big, I heard that the host of this training is the re-emerged Vice Principal Xiang Kuangren. His first move after his re-emergence caused an accident to his great-grandchildren. This is unacceptable both publicly and privately!"
…
As the turmoil grew, the Xiang family members outside hurried back one after another.
…
In the villa.
Li Chenglong and Zuo Xiaoduo are constantly reviewing the situation.
After knowing that Xiang Chong and Xiang Bing were fine, Li Chenglong's spirit returned immediately.
"In this trial, you are first and I am second. The top three are all ours. Our class occupies more than half of the top thirty... About twenty-five places, right?"
Li Chenglong sighed: "But compared with the excitement of previous years, this trial, which has always been regarded as the first honor for freshmen, has been so rushed that there is no atmosphere at all this year. I don't know what to say..."
Zuo Xiaoduo squinted his eyes and said, "What kind of atmosphere do you want? If Xiang Bing and Xiang Chong were not fine, how would you feel? Besides, the meeting will be held in three days to celebrate and summarize this trial. The time has not come yet, how do you know what will happen then?"
"makes sense."
Li Chenglong asked: "What happened?"
Zuo Xiaoduo explained everything in detail, leaving out every detail, not even the smallest detail.
Including the first time he attacked, when he swung the hammer, and the subtle feeling of the opponent resisting or being caught off guard and flying away, all were described in detail.
Then Li Chenglong recorded it, not only the details of this incident, but also the past of the resigned principals and the case of that year. All the details were pieced together. Li Chenglong began to constantly gather, disperse, analyze separately, combine and analyze, exchange and combine...
Li Chenglong used a few pieces of Star Soul Jade as props to fiddle with them...
"That's not right. This incident... probably has nothing to do with the rape and murder case at Vice Principal Cheng's home."
Li Chenglong said with certainty: "There must be another plan behind this. It should be a move by other factions to shift the blame to Jiangdong. The tendency of this method is too obvious. It should be an attempt to kill two birds with one stone. No matter what goes wrong on the other side, it will be beneficial to the schemer."
"Killing two birds with one stone? Isn't it another kind of killing two birds with one stone targeting Vice Principal Xiang himself?"
Zuo Xiaoduo frowned in thought.
"There is still too little information about this incident to analyze more details and reach a conclusion, but the clues so far point to a third party setting up the scheme."
Li Chenglong simply pasted a large piece of paper on the wall and began to draw a relationship diagram.
"First, there was the matter of Principal Ye Changqing's damaged heart meridian. Then there was Vice Principal Xiang's incident with the Wangchuan Water. Then there was Vice Principal Shi's past. Then there was Vice Principal Liu's matter, and then there was Vice Principal Cheng's matter..."
"Then the following are all related. In the middle is Qianlong Gaowu. Everything extends outward from this side."
"The vice-presidents who have filled in the positions are here. They can be roughly divided into four points."
"As for the locations around here, there are all the major families and gangs in Fenghai City. I am still collecting information on this aspect, and there must be a lot of omissions now... It is still far from being complete..."
"This is the Zhongyuan Palace that cannot be avoided in Fenghai City."
"And here, in the distant Shangjing."
"Several major cities around... even those that radiate across the country. It may not come from there, and it may not only be Fenghai and Shangjing that can be operated. There are really too many possibilities..."
"Also, there is the factor of the Forgotten Water. The Forgotten Water is only in the Wu Alliance, but it appeared in Fenghai... It is almost certain that there must be a Wu Alliance base in Fenghai, and there must be at least some core star gates of the Wu Alliance, as well as the Forgotten Water, a special treasure that only the Wu Alliance has. These things may not be done by the Wu Alliance..."
"These are all clues..."
Li Chenglong looked very serious as he connected the lines one after another, as if he was playing a game of connecting the correct answers. It didn't take long for him to draw so densely that people with trypophobia would definitely find it unbearable.
However, Li Chenglong looked like he was enjoying it. Finding what he needed from all the complicated clues was his favorite thing to do.
In contrast, Zuo Xiaoduo looked nauseated and had a headache looking at the densely packed lines.
"Take your time, I want to go back and practice..."
"Oh..." Li Chenglong said nonchalantly, then suddenly shocked: "Where are they?"
"They are safe!" Zuo Xiaoduo disappeared with a whoosh.
"Safe..."
Li Chenglong shook his head and drew another line: "Connect from here... This piece of paper is still too small... There is too little blank space left. If I want to deduce it all in the future, I will need to add too many things..."
An hour later, when Li Chenglong finished his work, he went up and called Zuo Xiaoduo to come down and take a look.
"This is what I just deduced... Look at this side above..."
Zuo Xiaoduo felt a headache: "It's not even one-third of the way through yet. I can't understand it. There are no clear clues. I'll tell you when you have analyzed it clearly..."
Li Chenglong's face immediately turned into one of resentment.
They have put so much effort and time into this, how can you be like this...
snort!
"Come on, follow me to sell things at Cangtian Yipin. That's where you'll be needed to show off your erudition and eloquence."
"Cang Tian Yi Pin? What good stuff do you have to sell?"
"I have so many good things that can blind your eyes. Just wait and see..."
Zuo Xiaoduo pulled Li Chenglong out of the door.
…
the other side.
In the warehouse of Qianlong High Martial Arts School, several teachers were staying up late to check the results of this training. The more they checked, the more they felt something was not right.
"Come and take a look. Why do I feel that the fur of these Star Foxes is too dark?"
"These bears are also dark in color... And these, these, these, these... Holy shit, why are so many things wrong?"
"There are quite a few here. I was wondering why I felt something was wrong with the harvest, but I couldn't tell what the problem was. So that's it..."
"What's going on?"
"Check the inner elixir."
“… The state of this inner elixir is not right either.”
A teacher frowned and said, "This... seems to be caused by the lack of energy in these star beasts... Compared with the average beasts, they are at least one-third less energetic..."
"I feel the same way, about one third. Not only the skin and fur, but also the bones, inner elixir, blood, spiritual energy... all are one third weaker..."
"But this shouldn't happen... Could it be that these star beasts are all malnourished?"
"Pfft... Damn malnutrition."
"Can it still be used?"
"It can be used, and the impact is not big, but... now it feels like a fly has appeared in a good meal... It's really disgusting."
"Will this prevent the sale from being processed?"
"Well... it's definitely a hindrance, so we can only sell it at a discount. If we don't sell it at a discount, it will definitely affect our reputation and will be detrimental to our long-term future."
"… Tell the Finance Department and the School Affairs Department and ask them to send someone to take a look. Don't think that we... that..."
"That's true. These two departments are always causing trouble... They keep blocking people and playing tricks on them. If you don't like them, go ahead and leave."
"Ah... Actually, there's no need to tell them... The affairs department is under Vice President Wu's control, so why not just let them take over and sell it... As for any problems, what does it have to do with us? Everything the students handed in was fine..."
"Eh? Damn Zhan Xiaofei, you are so sinister now, where did you learn this from?!"
"Hehe... Damn, they almost choked me to death. Besides, I didn't mean to trick them. This is wisdom and judging the situation... Hehe..."
"Good idea, let's do it and judge the situation!"
"… "
…
Zuo Xiaoduo and Li Chenglong walked leisurely and arrived at Cangtian Yipin.
Li Chenglong looked around and wanted to find the puppy statue again. He could not stop thinking about the puppy.
Zuo Xiaoduo walked in first with his head held high.
"Where's your Manager Cai? I have a big deal and I plan to talk to him."
Zuo Xiaoduo has his hands behind his back, looking extremely cold and aloof.
…
[Sorry for the late update. My wrist was swollen when I woke up this morning, so I went to the hospital and spent the whole morning. The plaster I had been using was out of stock... After the swelling went down, I got a few regular ones from the hospital.]
