Chapter 477: Death Notice
Ying Youque and Hu Yang exchanged glances, both seeing the gleeful look in each other’s eyes.
Both men had had conflicts with Jing Yan.
Ying Youque was the Punishment Hall Master. Originally, because Jing Yan had killed the Inner Court Student Qian Zhen, the Criminal Punishment Hall intended to punish Jing Yan, but due to Vice Chancellor Fang Ruoyu’s protection, the hall was left disgraced, and as the Hall Master, Ying Youque’s reputation was tarnished as well.
Hence, Ying Youque had always harbored resentment towards Jing Yan.
Hu Yang also resented Jing Yan. At the earlier Dual Peaks Conference, it was only because of Jing Yan’s appearance that the South Peak lost to the North Peak. Furthermore, Jing Yan had killed an exceptionally talented student from the South Peak.
As the South Peak Master, Hu Yang had naturally lost a great deal of face.
Upon hearing that Jing Yan had been assassinated by Mr. Yin, the Dark Night Ace, in Haofeng City, both men could hardly contain their joy.
Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Talent was indeed astonishing, and had he lived, he would have eventually brought glory to the Dao Yi Academy. However, both men had personal vendettas against Jing Yan and wished for his death.
"Master Ying, I suddenly feel refreshed and very happy. How about we have a drink?" Hu Yang suggested with a smile.
"What Peak Master Hu said is exactly what I’m thinking. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this relaxed. We should indeed celebrate properly." Ying Youque’s eyebrows fully relaxed as he laughed heartily.
The two immediately brought out precious wines brewed from Spirit Fruits and began drinking heavily.
The news of Jing Yan’s assassination by the Dark Night slowly spread within the Inner Court of Dao Yi Academy.
