“We appreciate the great gesture, Your Majesty, but the fifth elder’s death was completely unexpected. Perhaps it was because he worked day and night for the Clear Sky School, especially with the tournament approaching, he was even more worried. This time he might have been dispirited and suddenly died.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

After all, the strange phenomenon caused by Su Zhe’s sickle last night wasn’t a secret.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Master Ning, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect’s vice sect master Yu Luomian, and the others had all sent people to investigate the Dongxing night market.

Tang Yu had been killed!

How did it sound like he died of mental exhaustion as what the Clear Sky Sect was saying?

“But, I’ve heard that Elder Tang Yu was actually killed in Dongxing night market and it seems to be related to the Saintess Bibi Dong from Spiriy Hall and a mysterious farmer?”

Since the Clear Sky Sect was not willing to reveal the truth, then Emperor Xue Ye personally asked the question that everyone was curious about.

At the mention of Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall elder’s heart also thumped.

The current situation was that Spirit Hall was still afraid of the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect was in its glorious and powerful period. With Tang Chen overseeing them, they were all high-spirited and didn’t care about anyone else, even Spirit Hall.

Perhaps, it was also because of this that after Tang Chen disappeared in the original novel, after how the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall had the conflict, the Clear Sky Sect immediately went into seclusion. This was because they knew that Spirit Hall wouldn’t treat them as friends after what they did.

However, the situation was different now. The strength displayed by the expert dressed as a farmer last night was something that even ancestral master Tang Chen would find difficult to surpass.

Besides the High Priest Qian Daoliu, the Spirit Hall still had another undefeatable power hidden, Bibi Dong.

“Your Majesty, these are just rumors.”

“Last night, our team was not in Dongxing night market and that included Elder Tang Yu.”

“If you don’t believe me, Your Majesty can ask all the disciples of our Clear Sky Sect.”

“You guys, is there anyone who objects to that? Step out!”

Tang Xiao was focused as he respectfully answered the questions. He turned his head to look around at those from the Clear Sky Sect. All he received was support, making everyone feel confused.

Rumors?

Could it be that everything that happened at Dongxing night market last night was just a dream?

A fabricated lie?

The peerless expert was non-existent?

The Tang family of the Clear Sky Sect were not stupid. So what if they admitted that Tang Yu was killed by that mysterious farmer? Would the two great empires and the great sects really help them take revenge?

That would be impossible.

It would be better to throw out a smoke bomb and let this matter be buried in the dust while keeping it a mystery on the surface, a mystery for the Clear Sky Sect.

Emperor Xue Ye’s eyes narrowed, deep in thought. He waved his hand, “Alright, since it’s just a rumor, then let’s drop it. For now, the competition is more important. Let the competition begin.”

Only, Emperor Xue Ye turned his head and his expression changed, secretly telling the ministers, “Continue the investigation and find that farmer. I want to see him and give him the more honourable treatment.”

In Heaven Battle Empire, the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall were the strongest but as for the imperial family, their powers were gradually declining. If there was a chance for such a power, Emperor Xue Ye would not let it go!

Those who had the same thoughts as Emperor Xue Ye included the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Star Luo Royal family, The White Tiger school, the Elephant Armored Academy, the Fire Leopard Academy, the Blazing Academy…

At this moment, the person they wanted to find had already left Heaven Battle City at the borders of Fassinuo Province. Bibi Dong was also with Su Zhe.

It was so exciting to run after causing trouble!

“Sister Dong ‘er, are you not going to fight in the ranking competition?”

“I’m not participating in it anymore. Anyway, it looks like other than the finals, nothing else is important.”

Bibi Dong smiled. Her current goal was to defeat the Tang Hao and Tang Xiao and in the ranking competition, the Spirit Hall team had already fought the Clear Sky Sect’s team. After that, they wouldn’t meet again.

They would only have two more chances to meet in the finals.

There would be seven matches a day for the ranking competition, which would last for at least 14 days. In other words, the 15 teams would have to fight until all the teams had at least had one match.

After that, there would be a period of adjustment before the finals would begin.

During this period of time, she could indeed stay by Su Zhe’s side.

“But, Brother Su Zhe, you don’t have to blame yourself. Elder Tang Yu of the Clear Sky Sect wasn’t a good person to begin with. I heard that he broke the limbs of disobedient civilians and locked them up in brothels. He is a cruel man! You’re doing the people a favor by getting rid of evil people like that!”

“Sister Dong’er, I’m not blaming myself for it. I just didn’t expect all these.”

Su Zhe said with a bitter smile.

“Expect what?”

“I didn’t expect everything outside the manor to be so out of place.”

“…”

Bibi Dong was speechless. Indeed, the outside world simply wasn’t worthy of Brother Su Zhe. Whose fault was it that Brother Su Zhe was someone so powerful?

Su Zhe shook his head. “But, it’s my first time killing someone and I do have mixed feelings. It’s a strange feeling. I feel a little guilty, bringing disaster to the innocent and… also pleasure.”

He had never thought that spirit masters would be so weak! He managed to kill those people in a split second!

It turned out that the joke he had seen in the modern world was true! Ordinary people from the Blue Planet could create miracles here?

…

Su Zhe had always upheld the principle that he would never attack the innocent, especially those that didn’t mess with him. He tried his best to be friendly and tolerant to others.

This wasn’t being a saint, it was just a principle and courtesy.

“It seems that I’m more suited to stay in the manor. It’s better to plant flowers and trees, but don’t worry, Sister Dong ‘er. Since I promised to watch your competition, I’ll definitely go to the finals.”

Su Zhe patted Bibi Dong’s head as he put on a smile.

“Alright, then I’ll stay with Brother Su Zhe. After I’m done with the finals, I’ll move into the manor and stay with you!”

Bibi Dong very quickly understood what Su Zhe had in mind. In the Leisure Manor, there were treasures everywhere. Those treasures were precious in the eyes of ordinary spirit masters and something that they would be willing to sacrifice their life for.

However, to Su Zhe, that was the place where he could live like a normal person.

Having divine beasts as pets.

“It doesn’t matter. If you like to stay in Spirit Hall, then stay there. If you like to come to the manor, I’ll leave a room empty for you.”

“However, there’s something I want to remind you about, Sister Dong ‘er, but I don’t know if I should say it.”

Recalling the scene in the Great Heaven Battle Spirit arena, Su Zhe frowned. There were some things on his mind, and he had to remind this girl who was still relatively innocent.

“Just tell me! Is there anything between us that we can’t? We promised to spend the rest of our lives together!”

Bibi Dong tilted her head, looking like a young girl with white moonlight in her youth, which captivated people’s hearts.

Even Su Zhe’s heart, which had been dead for a long time, throbbed.

Plop ~

Phew, this matter might be related to your teacher.

“You might think that I’m overthinking, or even think that I’m slandering your teacher, but I have to tell you that you have to pay attention to this.”

Su Zhe’s face became very serious, as if he was going to tell Bibi Dong about a matter of life and death.

It made Bibi Dong also nervous. ‘Teacher? Teacher Qian Xunji? What was wrong with him?’

“Brother Su Zhe, just say it. I believe you.”

Bibi Dong nodded. Brother Su Zhe was such a friendly master, he had no reason to lie to her. She could trust him unconditionally.

“In the Continental Elite Spirit Master Tournament, your skills shocked everyone. When your ten thousand year spirit ability was invincible, your teacher, he was proud of you.”

“Yes, he has always hoped that I would be able to surpass my peers and be a prodigy. He doesn’t like me having too much contact with other people of my age. When Senior Yu Xiaogang was still alive, he was the same. However, I know that he is doing this for my own good.”

Su Zhe shook his head.”But, I feel like he’s acting a little strange towards you. There is a familiar look on his face. He’s a criminal, a sinner. I want you to promise me that no matter what, you must be on guard against him. I’m worried that he will do something out of line in the future…”

He recalled his former roommates’ eyes when they looked at those young girls in the dorm…

Su Zhe suspected that Qian Xunji still has his desires.

At that time, Su Ze had seen the lust hidden in his eyes.

But after all, nothing had happened yet and he wanted to say something extra. He could only remind Bibi Dong with a kind heart.

Hearing Su Zhe’s words, Bibi Dong seriously pondered for a moment, and seemed to understand what he meant. Immediately after, she was even more happy.

“Brother Su Zhe… Are you concerned about me or are you jealous?”

Su Zhe was caught off guard, “Huh?”
