"Brother Yi underestimates me, after I came back, my parents gave me so much... so much money."
Watching Chen Yi and Lin Xueru walk out of the Zhou Residence one after the other, Xiao Xuanzhen's steps slowed down a bit.
There was some contemplation on her face, then she stopped Hua Xianzi and Hua Youxiang, who wanted to follow them.
"Junior sister, let them be together today."
Hua Xianzi hesitated, her eyes slightly complex for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I will listen to Senior Sister."
Although she also wanted to stay by Chen Yi's side like Lin Xueru, she knew that Xiao Xuanzhen was right, at this moment it was best to let Chen Yi and Lin Xueru be alone.
Du Yanqing and Du Yan exchanged a glance, both with some emotion on their faces.
"I never expected Chen Yuan would change his surname, no wonder Brother Yi is so angry."
"Indeed, earlier I heard that he refused the Holy Emperor at the Imperial Palace and thought he would always align with the Chen Family."
Du Yan sighed: "Now it seems that Chen Yuan leans more towards the Zhou Family."
Wang Yongnian scratched his head, looking at the group, hesitating before he spoke:
"Today Brother Yi injured the Old Marquis, disgraced the Zhou Family, and seriously wounded that Wang Yang of the Kyoto Academy..."
"What are you trying to say, little fatty?" Du Yan glared.
"I, I mean, won't Brother Yi get into trouble for doing this?"
"Won't... it's hard to say."
Du Yanqing wanted to say no, but considering that this matter would surely be reported to the court, the outcome would depend on how the Holy Emperor deals with it.
Gu Tiangang listened to their discussions and sneered: "Why worry about those things? If the court punishes Chen Yi, don't blame this old man for not being polite!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xuanzhen and the others exchanged a glance and all started laughing.
"That's right, Chen Yi is now not only the Heroic Marquis of the Great Wei Dynasty, he is also an unmatched prodigy of our Grand Void Sect."
"If anyone wants to punish him, they'd better ask if our Grand Void Sect agrees first!"
Amidst the joking, everyone's spirits lifted a bit.
Only Hua Youxiang, seeing Hua Xianzi fall silent, tugged at her quietly and transmitted sound:
"Sister, how about we secretly follow Senior Brother Chen Yi and Senior Sister Xueru? We don't have to show ourselves, right?"
Hua Xianzi slightly shook her head, "Er Hua, let's return to our base."
Saying this, everyone followed Gu Tiangang to leave the Zhou Residence and headed towards the Grand Void Sect's base in Kyoto Prefecture.
Before long, the various noble families and dignitaries who had come to the Zhou Residence to "offer congratulations" also walked out, organizing their carriages to leave individually.
However, compared to when they arrived full of smiles, their faces were now filled with worry, as if the sky was falling.
Especially Xie Dongan, who was holding Wang Yang, quickened his pace as he headed towards the Kyoto Academy.
Jiang Ye, supporting the fainted Wei Jinyu, slowly helped her onto the carriage returning to the Imperial City, and also headed to Kyoto Academy.
"Brother An, is Senior Brother Wang Yang okay?"
"No... there's a huge problem!"
As he ran, Xie Dongan transmitted sound, saying: "Just now, Chen Yi's strike nearly shattered all the meridians, flesh, and bones in his body."
"Now he's hanging by a thread, whether he can survive will depend on how the teachers handle it."
Jiang Ye was dumbfounded, showing a pained expression and asked, "Brother An, how will the teachers deal with Brother Yi after knowing about this?"
Xie Dongan stopped in his tracks, showing a trace of anger as he said: "Damn it, how should I know how the teachers will decide?"
Hearing this curse, Jiang Ye looked at the angry Xie Dongan, knowing in his heart that the matter with Wang Yang was indeed troubling him.
"Damn it, why would you provoke Brother Yi without having any skills yourself?!"
