"You wait for me!"
The elder stared at his retreating back and cursed hatefully.
But his face turned extremely grim!
Because his injuries were too severe, he was unable to continue fighting.
And his few disciples, seeing their master defeated by a new student who had just joined the academy, were all displeased.
However, none of them dared to speak.
"This guy is truly too rampant!"
"We must tell Master and have him punished!"
"Yes!"
These people were all elite disciples of the Tianxing Academy.
Moreover, in their opinion, as long as they explained the situation clearly, Master would definitely punish Huangfu Aohan.
A hint of schadenfreude flickered in their eyes.
At this moment, a group of people approached from the distance.
They wore luxurious brocade robes and were girded with golden belts.
Seeing these people, Huangfu Aohan frowned.
These were the elite students from the academies who had emerged victorious in this selection competition.
Among them, Huangfu Aohan spotted a familiar figure.
"It's that woman!"
He narrowed his eyes, looking at the man at the head of the group, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"These people are friends with her!"
He thought to himself, "I wonder if she will participate in this selection this time?"
Tianxing Academy.
Inside a house within a massive building.
A young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, stood by the window.
He was tall and slender, with handsome features.
But his expression was incredibly gloomy, and a cold aura emanated from him.
"Damn bastard!"
"How dare he kill the citizens of my Tianxing City, it's a heinous crime!"
"I must find him and kill him myself!"
A cold glint shot from his eyes!
Beside him sat a beautiful woman.
She was dressed in palace attire, elegant and noble, and exceptionally beautiful.
She looked at the young man beside her and sighed softly.
"Han'er, that person has already escaped."
"And your identity has been exposed."
"Consider your mother."
After hearing these words, the young man slowly turned around, his gaze falling on his mother.
"Mother, don't worry about this matter."
"Don't worry, I will kill that person sooner or later."
"It's just not the right time yet."
"I must hide myself and make Father trust me more!"
"Only then can I gain Father's trust!"
He said coldly.
"Then let's do as Han'er says."
The woman said gently.
Just then, footsteps sounded from outside the door.
A look of annoyance appeared on the woman's face, but she suppressed it in the end.
A moment later.
A middle-aged man entered the room.
This middle-aged man was the Dean of Tianxing Academy!
The Dean walked into the room, looking at his wife sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes sparkling with a strange light.
He walked to the edge of the bed, leaned down, and embraced her.
"Xue'er, you've worked hard."
"My precious son has finally grown up!"
The woman's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently pushed the Dean away.
"You scoundrel, why do you pounce on me like a hungry wolf every time you see me!"
The Dean chuckled, "This shows our love for each other."
"Hmph! Is your heart only for your precious son?"
"Aren't you afraid your precious son will be jealous?"
"Jealous?"
"How could my good son be jealous?"
The Dean laughed, "I see him as a silent person, he doesn't like to talk at all."
The woman's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this.
"Han'er, he is an orphan, and his personality is strange."
"He's been like this since he was young, unwilling to speak, unwilling to interact with others, and even unwilling to look at his own mother more."
Hearing his mother say this, the Dean's eyes widened abruptly!
"What! Your son is actually an orphan!"
"What is going on?"
"Were you bullied by those people?"
"Hmph, I wasn't bullied, but some people have been playing me like a fool!"
The woman's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
"Who is it!"
The Dean said angrily.
The woman wiped away her tears and whispered, "It's their eldest young master, Huangfu Aohan."
"He and I were lovers."
"But, for some reason, after I married his father, that fellow started pursuing me."
"However, his strength was not enough to match me."
"So, I rejected him."
"And he has been holding a grudge, so he tried his best to humiliate me."
"He would brag to me about how beautiful his fiancee was, and how strong his cultivation was!"
"He even said that if his fiancee became me one day, then he could be with me!"
The Dean's brows furrowed.
"This Huangfu Aohan is simply too overbearing!"
He said angrily.
"Although his strength is not weak, it is still far from mine."
"Why would I need his help?"
The woman shook her head.
"I think I should leave him a way out?"
"Over the years, he has treated me very well, helped me a lot, and even entrusted the Tianxing Academy to him to manage, making him a prominent figure in the academy."
"Without his help, perhaps you and I would not be here anymore?"
"But he is so overbearing."
"This disappoints me."
After hearing his wife's narration, the Dean's face turned ashen.
"He is too much!"
"I'll go teach him a lesson right now!"
He said, preparing to get up and leave.
However, the woman called out to him.
"Wait."
"Han'er, he is your biological father after all."
"If we go like this, he might not acknowledge you as his child and will instead take his anger out on you, and then you will be in serious trouble."
"Moreover, he will use you to deal with other forces in Tianxing City."
"By then, you will become an enemy of the entire Tianxing City!"
Hearing his wife's words, the Dean's expression showed some struggle, as if he was unwilling to leave just like that.
"Then what do you suggest?"
A cruel look flashed across the woman's face.
"He is too overbearing! Since he is unjust, I cannot be blamed for being unrighteous!"
As she spoke, she placed her palm on the edge of the bed, and a silver needle quickly burrowed in.
Immediately after, the woman's palm slowly turned dark purple.
Her eyes began to darken, turning into white eyeballs.
"What are you doing!"
The Dean's face changed drastically upon seeing this.
The woman laughed heartily, "This is a poison unique to the demon race, called 'Demon Gu'!"
"As long as the poisoned person has a demonic worm in their body, it will be parasitic in this toxin, causing the toxin to erode into the depths of his soul!"
"Once infected with this poison, even an Immortal Emperor will find it difficult to escape!"
"At that time, you will be reduced to a puppet of the demon race!"
Upon hearing his wife's words, the Dean's face became extremely grim.
"Despicable! This fellow is truly too overbearing!"
"To use such a despicable method against you, it's outrageous!"
The Dean said angrily.
"But don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
"I will not let you suffer any grievances!"
A killing intent flashed in the Dean's eyes.
The woman smiled.
"Thank you, Han'er."
"I don't want you to get hurt."
"But I know that only you can resolve this matter."
"After all, this is a grievance between our couple. You are his only son, and I hope you can avenge me!"
The Dean let out a heavy sigh.
He nodded.
"Leave this to me, I will make him pay the price!"
The woman showed a brilliant smile.
"Your strength is great, but you are ultimately a human with impure blood, not suitable to fight against the royal family."
"You must remember, once you harbor the intent to kill him, you will be against the entire Tianxing City!"
"You must think carefully."
Hearing the woman's words, a hint of confusion flashed in the Dean's eyes.
