Chapter 152: Lonely and Lonely (Four Watches)
Two days later, the teachers and students returned to the academy, but they were not as excited and happy as they had been.
This time the Demon Beast Rebellion in the Ten Thousand Souls Mountain Range caused a lot of casualties, and they were already deeply lucky to be able to come back alive, not to mention others.
The news quickly spread in the imperial capital, setting off huge waves!
...
Taoli Garden.
Several elders and teachers gathered together, and the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing.
For a long time, Sun Lao sighed.
"Uncle Shi is in retreat for the past few days, and when he comes out, I will explain this matter and receive my own punishment. β
Everyone looked at each other and spoke to consolation.
"Old Sun, this incident is indeed an accident, I can't blame you..."
"Yes, the Wanling Mountain Range has been very calm for decades, and we didn't go hunting demonic beasts once or twice, how could we have thought that this time it was actually - Elder Sun, if you hadn't ordered a retreat in time, our casualties would have been greater, and you wouldn't have to blame yourself anymore. β
Elder Sun waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to say any more.
"Mistakes are mistakes, and today's mess must be cleaned up. Is the casualty list out?"
Wen Yan immediately said:
"It's been sorted out. Minor injuries, serious injuries 57 people, deaths... Fourteen people. β
Sun Lao's hand clenched slowly.
"How can there be so many? Didn't you say eight people earlier?"
"Yes, it was true that ten people died at first, and then... The bodies of the two missing people, Ye Qing found them under a cliff somewhere. β
"What about the other two?"
Wen Yan cautiously looked at Sun Lao's expression, and his voice was lowered.
β... The remaining two are Chu Liuyue and Gu Mingzhu. β
The mountain collapsed, and the two of them were swallowed into the black whirlpool of the black-winged swallowing python, how could they live?
Therefore, the two of them are also included in this death list.
Hearing the names of these two people, Sun Lao was stunned and was silent for a while.
"Inform their families of the news, in addition, our college is fully responsible for this incident, and we will do our best to compensate and other things. β
"Yes. β
...
Family.
Syllable!
The crisp sound of the slap shattered the silence of the room.
Gu Mingfeng turned his head away after being beaten, and his face quickly became red and swollen.
"How did you take care of your sister!?Why are so many people fine, but she died!?Gu Mingfeng, you explain it to me today!!Otherwise, don't think of leaving this house!"
Gu Wenhui, the head of the Gu family, was so angry that he slapped Gu Mingfeng in the face, and slapped him again.
Gu Mingfeng's face was marked with a clear slap print.
He looked at Gu Wenhui expressionlessly, just glanced at it, and lowered his eyes.
This is his so-called father, in his eyes, there is only Gu Mingzhu alone.
And he's just an eyesore.
"She and I weren't a squad, and I don't know how she died. β
"Dare to lie!"
Gu Wenhui was angry, kicked Gu Mingfeng's heart, and scolded loudly:
"Her Xuanjing Black Crystal was used, but no one survived! Who else knows that she has this thing on her but you!? You usually hate her, didn't you rob her of her things and put her to death this time! I, Gu Wenhui, how could I give birth to something like you that is not as good as a beast!"
There was a dull numb pain in his chest, and Gu Mingfeng's pure color turned a little pale.
Gu Wenhui used all his strength with this kick, if it weren't for the fact that he was a Xuan Master and his physical strength was not so strong, this kick would have killed Gu Mingfeng.
"I don't know how she died. β
Gu Mingfeng repeated indifferently.
"Besides, even Elder Sun couldn't save her back, did my father think that a Xuanjing Black Crystal would be able to save her?"
Gu Wenhui laughed angrily.
"Okay, good! Now you're going to talk back! Your wings are stiff! Why didn't you die!"
Why wasn't it you who died!
Gu Mingfeng's eyelids jumped fiercely, and for a moment, he felt that somewhere in his heart had completely collapsed.
Scold... It's long overdue.
What is he? It's just a lowly existence that Gu Wenhui regards as a stain, and now, this so-called father is even eager to exchange his life for Gu Mingzhu's life.
Why!?
Is it just because his biological mother came from a humble background, just because he is a product of Gu Wenhui's drunkenness?
Gu Mingfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up.
There was no expression on his feminine face, but his whole body was cold.
When Gu Wenhui saw him like this, he was even more angry:
"You get out of here! The Gu family will not have you in the future!"
Gu Mingfeng raised his head:
"Since you have driven me out, I should obey. From now on, the Gu family and I will not take another step, so as not to obstruct your eyes. β
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Gu Wenhui slapped the table to pieces.
...
When Chu Ning received the news, he happened to be in the palace to discuss important matters with Emperor Jiawen.
This matter is too involved, so Tianlu Academy sent someone to report the matter early in the morning.
After Chu Ning heard this, the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
When Emperor Jiawen saw him like this, he only let out a long sigh, and then let him go back to rest for a few days.
Chu Ning didn't know how he got out of the palace gate, and he didn't know where he went.
All the scenes around him seemed to be far away, and he was the only one left between heaven and earth.
He had never felt that his steps were so heavy, and every step he took, he was tired, and even his heart hurt.
But he did not dare to stop, for fear that if he stopped, the despair and pain would completely drown him.
"Heyβhow do you walk!"
On the street, he was walking in a trance, and someone next to him walked by quickly and bumped into him.
The man opened his mouth with a look of disgust, but when he saw the clothes on Ning's body clearly, he immediately realized that he had provoked the big man, and hurriedly closed his mouth and left.
When I left, I was still talking to the people next to me.
β... Who would have thought that the casualties in Tianlu Academy would be so serious this time! I heard that more than a dozen people died!"
"What a pity!
"Hey, they said that Chu Liuyue, who was just admitted some time ago, seems to be dead too? That's a genius among geniuses!"
"So what? I'm dead, but I'll never have a chance to come back to life..."
Chu Ning barely stood up on his own, bowed his head and walked forward.
There was a man in front of him.
He looked up sluggishly, and it took him a moment to recognize the person in front of him.
Chu Yan.
With curiosity and pity on his face, he said word by word:
"Big brother, I heard that Chu Liuyue is dead?, what can you do if you are alone in the future?"
