Chapter 206: Arrest
Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu
Ling Han laughed, and said, “Just a small thing like that?”
A small thing like that?
Putting aside the issue of Nangong Ji’s ident.i.ty, the rules of the Academy clearly stated that spars were acceptable, but crippling injuries and deadly attacks were strictly forbidden. Anyone who broke the rules would be harshly punished. Additionally, there was the issue of Nangong Ji’s ident.i.ty. He was the young master of a middle-cla.s.s clan, and furthermore had an elder brother who was a True Disciple. How could the Nangong Clan simply let the matter go?
Zhu Wu Jiu was a very solitary character. Anyways, he was all alone with no family. If they wanted his life, they were free to claim it. Either way, he had already crippled Nangong Ji.
For a martial artist, crippling his cultivation was no better than killing him directly, especially in those bigger clans. The status of a crippled martial artist would fall dramatically in his own clan, and anyone was free to come over and give him another kick while he was down. That strong disparity in his treatment would be enough to cause anyone to commit suicide.
Obviously, Zhu Wu Jiu had the ability to kill Nangong Ji. Yet he had only crippled the latter’s cultivation to allow Nangong Ji to experience that colossal disparity, and give him a worse punishment.
“Just stay here for now, and I’ll see who dares to come capture you,” Ling Han said calmly.
What a boastful tone. When the people sent from the Discipline Committee of the Academy arrived, would you really dare to jump out? So what if you did dare to jump out? For a mere martial artist in Element Gathering Tier, wasn’t that merely overrating yourself and attempting to do the impossible?
But when he thought about it, Ling Han was well-intentioned, so Zhu Wu Jiu nodded, and said, “Thank you, but I was the one who caused this trouble, so I will definitely not drag you into it!”
Ling Han merely smiled. If he continued to say anything more, it was likely Zhu Wu Jiu would think that he was bragging. He had no intention to be looked down upon by a descendant of the Silver Moon Race.
“Brat, a lot of people are here!” Guang Yuan arrived in a leap. He had heard the commotion and recalled the fact that he was now Ling Han’s bodyguard, and so naturally came to inform him and stood on one side to watch.
“They’re here to arrest me,” Zhu Wu Jiu said calmly. He had already fulfilled his heart’s desire, so he was absolutely unconcerned about whether he lived or died anymore.
“That’s right. Here to capture you!” A group of ten walked in. The one in the lead was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, and there was arrogance and rage in his expression.
The Captain of Team Four of the Discipline Committee, Nangong Xing. He was also Nangong Ji’s elder brother, and in the third layer of Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier!
He was of course furious. Zhu Wu Jiu actually dared to cripple his younger brother’s Dantian. This was a challenge to the authority of the Nangong Clan and also a harsh slap to his face, making him feel the urge to commit murder.
“Since you already know, are you not going to submit yourself to be arrested?” Nangong Xing asked coldly. He threw a challenging look at Ling Han.
He was naturally defiant. A mere minor character in Element Gathering Tier was actually able to cause waves in the Academy and become a famous person in Hu Yang Academy; also, according to rumors, even the two extreme beauties, Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan, were close to him.
His eyes had turned red from feeling extreme jealousy!
In his eyes, Ling Han had merely gotten a bout of **** good fortune, and had merely obtained the prestige he had now because of Feng Yan. Moreover, if it was not the fact that he was so extremely fortunate and was rescued by the Headmaster of the Alchemy Department who had so coincidentally happened to pa.s.s by, this guy would have long been torn to pieces by Feng Yan.
He looked at Ling Han, and a cold smile appeared on his lips as he said, “Ling Han, are you going to cover for this criminal?”
“This has nothing to do with Ling Han!” Zhu Wu Jiu stepped out. It was because of Ling Han’s help that he had managed to surpa.s.s Nangong Ji’s cultivation level and get his vengeance. It was already enough that he could not repay Ling Han’s kindness, so how could he allow Ling Han to be dragged down by him into this matter?
“You’re sensible.” Nangong Xing humphed. If Ling Han dared to show off at this time, he would not mind arresting one more person.
