Chapter 2066. Teacher
“Luckily, you only killed Dragon Thirteen. She was not one of the prestigious nine. Her death was inconsequential, so the grudge won’t be all that deep. Now that Yu Shanxin has interceded on your behalf, the Dragon shouldn’t bother you anymore. Do you think you can remove the spell on me now?” Xius had actually come up to Han Sen to get the spell removed.
“We’re still in territory belonging to the Dragon. Let’s wait until I’m out of it first.” Han Sen resumed walking.
“The Dragon won’t change their minds. Now that they’ve forgiven you and made a promise to Yu Shanxin, they won’t turn back on their word. Dragon territory is now the safest place for you. They wouldn’t dare let you die here. It’s hard to say what might happen after you leave. If something happens to you out there, whoever kills you might not even have any ties to the Dragon.” Xius rolled her eyes.
“So, you’re saying I should stay in the lands of the Dragon?” Han Sen lifted his lips.
“There is no need. Yu Shanxin helped you, and he represents Sky Palace. Before anyone thinks of attacking you, they’ll have to weigh the consequences. And no one will want to incite the wrath of Sky Palace. Unless there’s someone highly motivated by revenge, no individual will seek to kill you. At least not immediately, while things have yet to simmer down,” Xius said.
Han Sen looked at Xius. “Yu Shanxin killed so many Sky Palace students. Why was he allowed to remain there?”
Xius hesitated before speaking. “That’s complicated, and it’s not something the Sky like to talk about with outsiders. I know that his teacher was strong enough to be considered an elder. He was framed, and then he died. Then, his memory was tarnished with the crime of treason. But no one could have expected Yu Shanxin to react in such an insane way. They were going to kick him out of Sky Palace, but Yu Shanxin brought the coffin back and started killing people. Things eventually calmed down after he reached the leader. Anyone who was involved in the conspiracy, like the elders and students, were killed by Yu Shanxin.”
The reason Yu Shanxin was allowed to stay in Sky Palace has something to do with that. He couldn’t obtain the seat of an elder. He owned an island in Sky Palace, but no one knows what his job is,” Xius said, then looked at Han Sen. “That is all I know. And it’s all just hearsay. Outsiders aren’t told much about what happens there.”
Han Sen nodded. Yu Shanxin had come to save him, and whether it was an order from Sky Palace or something the man had done on his own whim, it did not matter. Han Sen now owed him a big one. But a man like him would probably never need help.
