Chapter 71: It’s Over

The disciplinary hall was about one thousand square metres.

It had three seats at the front and five rows of seats on the left and right sides.

Currently, three old men were sitting in the front seats.

The Shi family was seated on the left, while random spectators were on the right.

After a casual glance, Shen Xu recognised the Shi family on the left and Xiao Weimin on the right side.

’This damned main protagonist.’ Shen Xu cursed with an expressionless face.

“Fourth young master Shi and young master Song should find seats on the right.” Xiao Feng pointed to the row of seats on the right.

“Zhen Yuan…, stand before the disciplinary hall elders.”

Hearing this, Shen Xu frowned and winked at Zhen Yuan.

“Remember what you promised.” He whispered.

“Don’t worry.” Zhen Yuan smiled, rubbing his wife’s hair.

Soon after, Zhen Yuan walked to the front and stood before the elders while the other two walked to the right.

“Xu’er.” Xiao Weimin called, and Shen Xu subconsciously shuddered.

With an angry expression, he turned to the man and sneered.

“The seventh young master Xiao is too presumptuous.” He said and soon continued.

“I am not familiar with you. Don’t disgust me.”

After saying that, Shen Xu walked to the farthest seat away from Xiao Weimin.

Seeing this, Xiao Weimin frowned, stood up, and prepared to follow.

However, Song Wancheng was faster.

“Can’t seventh young master Xiao stand to be rejected?” He snorted and sat next to Shen Xu.

“Song Wancheng, don’t get involved in this matter.” Xiao Weimin warned.

“Shen Xu is my friend. That gives me the right to get involved in his matters. Right?” Song Wancheng looked at Shen Xu.

“Right.” Shen Xu nodded.

“Young master Xiao should recognise his position as a stranger. It’s not his turn to decide who can get involved in my affairs.”

“Xu’er…”

“Shut up.” Shen Xu glared and decisively looked away.

Fortunately, Xiao Weimin was shameless but not irredeemably so.

Although he wanted to get close to Shen Xu, he couldn’t continue losing face in front of so many people.

“Don’t care about Xiao Weimin. It’s more important to worry about your brother Yuan.” Song Wancheng reminded.

“Worry about brother Yuan? Why?” Shen Xu asked with a confused expression.

“Why?” Song Wancheng indicatively looked to the front.

“Student Xiao Feng, explain the circumstances.” Elder Liu said.

Liu Min was the deputy leader of the disciplinary hall.

His cultivation was at the early stage of the golden core realm and was the weakest among the three elders.

As a result, he handled most day-to-day cases.

However, the current case was too serious and involved people from the six major families.

Because of this, the hall leader and the other deputy were also involved.

“Student Zhen Yuan is a new student of our Divine Rainbow Academy. He had a verbal altercation with the brothers and sisters of the Shi family last night. As a result, he fatally injured the sixth young lady.” Xiao Feng briefly explained, and Elder Liu nodded.

“Student Zhen Yuan, what do you say to this accusation?”

“I am surprised she died.” Zhen Yuan expressionlessly said.

Seeing this, Shen Xu sighed.

’It’s going to be bad.’ He thought.

“Three elders of the disciplinary hall, this student is not remorseful after killing my niece. It’s unacceptable.” A Shi family member angrily shouted.

However, the three elders only frowned, and Liu Min asked the person to shut up.

“Student Zhen Yuan, what do you mean?” Liu Min asked.

“I intentionally didn’t kill her.” Zhen Yuan said and soon continued.

“I can only assume that someone killed her after I injured her.”

“Excuses.” Shi Dong shouted.

“Fourth brother, how can your husband do this?” Shi Miao cried.

“Student Zhen Yuan, do you admit to fighting outside a martial arena?” Another elder suddenly asked.

This elder was called Zhang Yonglin.

Like Liu Min, he was also at the early stage of the golden core realm.

However, he had been a golden core realm cultivator for a longer time, and his cultivation was stable.

“I admit.” Zhen Yuan nodded.

“Since he admits, the elders must seek justice for my Shi family.” Shi Yong said, bowing to the three elders.

“It’s irrelevant whether student Zhen Yuan intended to kill student Shi Qiao or not. The outcome is there, and the rules of the academy are clear.” Zhang Yonglin said, and the other elders nodded.

“I disagree.” Shen Xu suddenly stood up.

“Shen Xu, how dare you stand up for that wild man?” A Shi family roared in anger.

However, Shen Xu was not angry.

Instead, he looked at the Shi family and smiled.

“He is my wild man after all. If I don’t stand up for him, should I stand up for that damned girl who always called me a freeloader? Absurd!”

“Xu’er, this is not the place to settle your grievances with the Shi family.”

“Why is an outsider forcibly involving himself in my business?” Shen Xu sneered.

After saying that, he turned to the three elders.

“It’s not enough to say ’the outcome is there’. The elders should properly investigate how Shi Qiao died.”

“Student Zhen Yuan has already admitted to injuring student Shi Qiao.” Liu Min reminded, but Shen Xu shook his head.

“Brother Yuan admitted to injuring her but not killing her. Which cultivator doesn’t know how to control their strength to produce the outcome they want?”

“Student Zhen Yuan could have made a mistake and accidentally killed Student Shi Qiao.”

“Brother Yuan would not make a mistake like this.”

“You have only known that wild man for a few months. How do you know he didn’t intentionally kill our sixth sister?” Shi Dong asked.

Hearing this, Shen Xu smiled, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

“My brother Yuan knows I intend to kill the five of you. Why would he kill Shi Qiao and deprive me of my rightful vengeance?” He asked, plunging the hall into a deathly silence.

’It’s over.’ Song Wancheng groaned.
