Outside the Spirit Sword Academy, a luxurious beast carriage drove farther and farther in the cool breeze, bringing up sparse smoke and dust along the way. It no longer had the menacing momentum it had a few days ago.
"Third brother is so seriously injured, can this matter just be forgotten?" The fourth elder of the Du family frowned, his expression extremely complicated.
Du Chenfeng's face was deep, but his slightly dim eyes shone with a strange light.
"Do you think I will be willing to give in? But you have also seen the situation. What can I do if I am not willing to give in?"
"I didn't expect things to be so troublesome!" The fourth elder shook his head and sighed.
Du Chenfeng frowned and said: "Things are more troublesome than you think. Although Jiang Tian deserves to die, there is someone else behind the scenes!"
"Brother, are you talking about Ling Jiuyuan?"
"That's right, this person is the real culprit. Poor Hang'er and Ping'er have become his cannon fodder!"
The fourth elder's face darkened: "Then let's gather the strength of the family and find a way to kill him?"
Du Chenfeng shook his head and sighed, his eyes were extremely deep. He didn't want to do this, but the price that came with it was beyond his ability to bear.
"How can the elders of Spirit Sword Academy be so easily shaken? If they are not careful, they will bring disaster to the family!"
"The facts are indeed very complicated, can we just tolerate it?"
"The reason why Du Hang and Du Ping were killed was because they were not clear-headed. Ling Jiuyuan was scheming, despicable and sinister. Although Jiang Tian was young, he was not that simple either!" Du Chenfeng shook his head slowly, his expression becoming more and more serious.
Deep and dark.
The fourth elder was deep in thought, silently chewing on Du Chenfeng's words. Looking at the unconscious Du Chenyang, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
…
After returning to the Tongdian area, Jiang Tian first visited a few of his companions to make sure they had not gone out, and then left after giving them careful instructions.
In the next time, he will devote all his efforts to preparing for the half-year exam and has no time to take into account anything else.
After returning to his residence, he asked Su Wan some questions about cultivation, and then prepared to enter the secret room to practice in seclusion.
However, Su Wan looked weird and hesitated to speak, and there was even a hint of shyness in her eyes.
"Master, do you have something to say?" Jiang Tian asked with a frown, feeling slightly confused.
Su Wan hesitated for a moment, then threw away her worries.
"Jiang Tian, I know you want to practice in seclusion to prepare for the exam in the next six months. In fact, I shouldn't have such a request at this time."
Seeing that she was still speechless, Jiang Tian shook his head and smiled, subconsciously raising his hand to pat her shoulder, but suddenly he felt it was inappropriate, his face stiffened, he took back his palm and smiled awkwardly.
"Master, if you have something to say, you can just say it. What else do you have to worry about with me?"
"Okay!" Su Wan sighed softly, as if she had made some kind of determination, and nodded heavily.
"After spending the past few days in seclusion, my swordsmanship has improved a lot. I have vaguely seen an opportunity for a breakthrough. I wonder if I can..."
Jiang Tian understood what she meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately nodded and smiled.
"Master, there is no need to say anything, I promise you!"
Su Wan was overjoyed, with a hint of coquettishness in her smile.
"As a teacher, I'm still worried. Will this affect your cultivation?"
Jiang Tiangang was about to shake his head when his eyes suddenly moved and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He stared at Su Wan and said meaningfully: "It's really hard to say. I'm afraid that I will be distracted when I am in retreat with you!"
Su Wan frowned slightly, and was about to say a few words of apology. When she saw his weird appearance, she immediately realized that this guy was clearly teasing her on purpose!
"You brat! What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Tian chuckled strangely: "No one would be able to remain calm with a stunning beauty like Master in seclusion. I think I have done a good enough job. How could it be possible for someone else to remain calm?"
Su Wan smiled shyly, but then her pretty face darkened. There was something obviously wrong with what she said!
"Fuck you! Stop talking nonsense. What does 'sitting in your arms without chaos' mean? Who is sitting in your arms?"
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Tian covered his mouth and smiled evilly, but Su Wan's face turned red, feeling angry, annoyed, and ashamed.
She wanted to punch Jiang Tian a few times, but suddenly she realized that this was very rude, and she stopped awkwardly in the middle of the fist swing.
After all, she is also a master. This kind of behavior that is almost like a coquettish relationship between lovers is definitely inappropriate when used on Jiang Tian. This makes her very embarrassed and almost ashamed.
Jiang Tian was so happy that he even puffed up his chest and waited for her to beat him, with a bad smile on his lips and a clear look of pride in his eyes.
It was a bit regretful to see her suddenly stop, and she even shook her head and sighed to express some kind of depression.
Su Wan was slightly annoyed by the master's dignity, and she snorted, and her face became angry.
"You bastard, no wonder Luo Lan said that he suffered from you. Who did you learn these glib skills from?"
"Have I?" Jiang Tian chuckled.
"Screw you! Forget about the retreat. If you continue to fail to be a true teacher, you will be punished!" Su Wan turned around angrily and prepared to leave.
Jiang Tian knew that she was not really angry, but just embarrassed to save face, otherwise she would not hesitate in her steps and stay when she wanted to leave.
For a woman, this behavior is perfectly normal.
It would be really stupid to have no reaction at all at this time. If it ends here, not only will Su Wan be disappointed, but he himself will probably despise himself.
Jiang Tian subconsciously took a step forward and took Su Wan's hand.
"Ugh! Brat...what are you doing?" Su Wan cried out softly, her body trembling inexplicably.
Jiang Tian was also embarrassed. It wasn't until he grabbed the other person's hand that he realized that doing so was a bit rash.
What's even more embarrassing is that the moment the two palms came into contact, both sides were shocked. Although they were separated by a thin layer of gauze, they both felt like an electric shock.
This feeling is really weird!
Su Wan twisted her hand hard as if she wanted to break away, but for some reason she didn't use too much force. Jiang Tian felt somewhat lingering, and was stunned for a moment before letting go of his hand in embarrassment.
Su Wan frowned slightly and slowly retracted her arm, her movements seemed a bit stiff.
Jiang Tian coughed lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Ahem, master, don't be angry. I just made a slip of the tongue. If you don't feel relieved, why don't you hit me a few times to calm it down?"
"Huh, if you repent in time, I really angered my master, and I might have to expel you from the school!" Su Wan chuckled, but her pretty face couldn't hold back anymore, and she glared at Jiang Tian with a pair of pretty eyes.
He shook his fist.
Jiang Tian waved his hands repeatedly with a "fearful" look on his face, and then said seriously: "Okay, Master, we should do some business... Well, that practice is important, let's practice in seclusion immediately!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Wan's pretty face, but she was a master after all, and she couldn't let Jiang Tian take the lead in everything. She cleared her throat and walked straight towards the secret room.
