Chapter 149 - 145: Hammer Kill
Several days later, at Bai Lu Academy.
Yun Zhiqiu looked at the figure before him, his heart restless, yet he still stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Mr. Lu."
This Mr. Lu was the very elder who had led the academy’s disciples in battle against the demons on that fateful day.
His expression was sharp as he stared at Yun Zhiqiu. Surrounding Bai Lu Academy disciples looked toward them, wondering what was happening.
Why was Mr. Lu blocking Yun Zhiqiu’s path?
Moreover, judging by Mr. Lu’s gaze, there seemed to be a trace of anger.
"Yun Zhiqiu, do you realize your crime?" the elder asked.
*"What does the teacher mean by this? I don’t understand,"* Yun Zhiqiu bowed his head and acted ignorant. But in truth, he had already guessed the matter and couldn’t help feeling uneasy deep down.
*He feared that he would be expelled from Bai Lu Academy, gaining an irreparably bad reputation, perhaps even leading to utter disgrace and universal condemnation.*
"On the day of the battle with the demons, I explicitly warned all of you not to disclose or speculate about the mysterious person’s identity to outsiders. Why did you reveal it?" the elder asked again.
"What is the teacher implying? When have I ever disclosed such a matter?" Yun Zhiqiu knew that the elder must have uncovered some clues, but as long as there was no evidence, he could never admit to it.
