Chapter 793 - Paraded Out (2/2)
“Girl, kings, and bears often worry their keepers. Have you ever heard this saying? That god damned jerk is the king, while we are his keepers. We have to be careful about everything we say and everything we do. Otherwise, we could lose our lives to the king.” The Duck Emperor tried to ally with Ghost. He figured it would be safer that way.
“Nonsense. Handsome Luoluo is adorable. He would never harm us,” Ghost replied in disagreement.
“Adorable?”
The Duck Emperor said with a bitter smile. He added, “It is because you have never seen his brutal side. He is an absolute devil when he kills.”
“I’m sure handsome Luoluo would kill no one unless those people went too far. And he would only kill scoundrels,” argued Ghost.
The Duck Emperor gave it a thought. Things were like what the girl said indeed. She was right that Xiao Luo only killed those scoundrels because they went too far.
“What are you doing there? Follow me.”
At that moment, Xiao Luo stopped and turned around to shout at them.
“Coming.” Ghost hurried to pick up her pace.
…
…
The couple was halfway up the peak. The mountain was not high, only about 1200 feet. But it was high enough for Xiao Luo to observe the Mu City Academy.
“It seems all disciples of the academy are heading toward the teleportation portal,” murmured Duck Emperor.
“Yeah. The students look like an enormous group of ants,” Ghost echoed.
Xiao Luo frowned because he could see what was happening on the field where the teleportation portal was.
[On the field where the teleportation portal was located]
They tied Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi up on two crosses, and they could not move at all. Their faces were pale, and there was blood at the corners of their mouths. They had internal injuries, which was why they were too weak to fight back.
An elderly grey-robed man was standing in front of them with his hands behind his back. With a head of white hair and a white beard, he had an intimidating look. He was the Elder Zheng from the Mu City Academy.
Zheng Feihan and Chen Junbin were standing on both his left and right side, assisted by others. They were staring at Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi with clenched teeth.
Around them were the thousands of disciples of the Mu City Academy. They were discussing in low voices with different expressions on their faces.
“What happened? Hu Qingsong injured Zheng Feihan and Chen Junbin. Elder Zheng tied them up to parade them out here.”
“No, that is not what happened. Hu Qingsong is a useless supervisor. Even if he had ten guts, he would not have the nerve to hurt Zheng Feihan. Besides, he is not even strong enough to defeat Chen Junbin.”
“So, why did Elder Zheng tie them up?”
“It was a man and a woman who injured Zheng Feihan and Chen Junbin. And the man and woman are close to Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi. We searched the entire city but did not find them. Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi must have hidden them somewhere.”
“I see. This useless supervisor is a troublemaker!”
“He offended Elder Zheng. Elder Zheng will make him suffer a lot.”
“By the way, did the dean and other Elders have anything to say about this?”
“What could they say? Elder Zheng is the one who has a say in the academy. The dean is his apprentice Younger Brother, who tolerates him excessively. As for the other Elders, they know Elder Zheng’s temper. Who would interfere in this? Anyway, Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi deserve it.”
“Yeah. Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi could have stayed quietly in the academy, but they had to offend an Elder. Of all people, it was Elder Zheng whom they pissed off. They cannot blame anyone for what they are going through.”
