Chapter 252
Su Li had come back from his adventure. The news spread fast in the Sacred Institute, although people had heard about his upcoming return.
The scene with the monster pierced by the spear and the bloody rain in the Sacred Institute had caused quite a stir.
Su Li had passed his adventure smoothly and undoubtedly become stronger, but this wasn’t the key point. The disciples of the Sacred Institute were more curious about Jiang Chen’s reaction.
Su Li hadn’t gone to pick a fight with him or disable his arm as the rumors said.
When people started to think that maybe it was only a rumor, news came from the south courtyard that Su Li had been working on his third extraordinary meridian since his arrival and had just finished it.
There were eight extraordinary meridians in all. He had started to work on his fourth.
On the same day, a team set out from the south courtyard and came to the east courtyard under Su Li’s lead.
As she arrived, everyone showed restraint, including Su Li.
“What’s going on here?!” Ying Wushuang shouted loudly when she saw nobody speaking.
“Apprentice Sister Ying, his mount hurt us and he didn’t stop it. Kill this animal!”
The four disciples of the south courtyard who had been attacked by Whitty blamed Jiang Chen in agony.
Many people’s expressions became weird when they heard this accusation.
It didn’t sound proper to them. It made the fight degenerate. This fight was supposed to be a lesson for short-term disciples.
“Yeah?”
Ying Wushuang glanced at Whitty and then at Jiang Chen. She recalled she had seen them before. She said, “What did I tell you when you arrived here?”
“It was self-defense. Was I supposed to be beaten without fighting back?” Jiang Chen found it funny.
“Yeah? Did they attack you first?” Ying Wushuang asked.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the hundreds of people outside his room. He said, “Captain, if they are not here to pick a fight, do you think they’re here visiting me?”
Many people laughed. It seemed they also agreed with Jiang Chen that the captain of the Department of Discipline had asked a stupid question.
“Cut the crap. Answer the question!” a member of the Department of Discipline shouted unhappily.
“Any witness who could prove it was the disciples of the south courtyard that attacked first?” Ying Wushuang asked loudly.
No one answered. Everyone looked towards Su Li.
“Hm.”
Ying Wushuang was unhappy with the situation. She pointed in the air and what had happened just now played before the people.
It was clear that the disciples of the south courtyard had attacked first, while the mount had been protecting its master.
“Jiang Chen is innocent. You four got what was coming to you. The punishment…” Ying Wushuang said.
“Wushuang, please don’t judge this affair with the rules of the Sacred Institute. The conflict between us is personal!” Su Li said.
Ying Wushuang was surprised, but she managed to speak in a tough manner, “Go to the Hero Platform to resolve it. I can’t justify you having brought so many people here to cause trouble. Also, call me by my full name please.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Chen was the only one who was surprised by Ying Wushuang’s response. He hadn’t expected her to be so fair and impartial.
“The Hero Platform. Do you dare?!” Su Li looked towards him seriously. His voice was as cold as ice.
It was a simple way to irritate him. Usually the simpler the way was, the more effective.
“No.” However, Jiang Chen didn’t fall into the usual category.
