Chapter 73: Troublemakers

[I know you are a troublemaker.] Zhen Yuan smiled, rubbing his wife’s hair.

[You know?]

[You haven’t hidden your little tail as carefully as you thought. I have long noticed.] Zhen Yuan said, but his expression soon turned solemn.

[Xiaoxu, we don’t need to hide all the time. If we pretend to be pigs for too long, we will become pigs.]

[With my cultivation level, we don’t need to be afraid of anyone in the Canglan continent. From now, let’s do things for ourselves and not because of others. If we lay low, it’s because we wish to and not because we are forced to.]

[You don’t have to smile when you are angry and don’t have to be polite when someone doesn’t deserve it. Understand?]

[I know, I have figured it out.] Shen Xu said.

[However, we will eventually go to other continents. We mustn’t let anyone catch our handle.]

[I understand.] Zhen Yuan smiled.

[Good.] Shen Xu said and soon continued.

[I will also protect you]

[I know.]

“You two…” A voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Looking over, the two saw Song Wancheng glaring at them.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Xu asked.

“What’s wrong?” Song Wancheng sneered and tipped his chin towards the three elders.

“Zhen Yuan is about to be arrested.”

Hearing this, Shen Xu immediately became alert.

Without their notice, the Shi family and other spectators had left the disciplinary hall.

Currently, Ma Chenyi was talking while looking at Zhen Yuan.

“The circumstances leading to the death of student Shi Qiao are unclear and need to be investigated. However, student Zhen Yuan is guilty of fighting in the academy.”

“Following the academy rule, student Zhen Yuan will pay a fine of one million spirit stones or spend three months in the academy mine.”

When he heard ’mine’, Shen Xu subconsciously shuddered and immediately stepped forward.

“Elder Ma, my husband and I will pay the fine.” He said.

“Mmmmm.” Ma Chenyi nodded before he continued.

“Until the investigation is completed, student Zhen Yuan cannot step one foot out of the academy. If he tries to leave, he will be arrested and imprisoned in the disciplinary hall until the investigation is completed. Is this clear?”

“We understand.” Shen Xu sighed in relief.

After that, Ma Chenyi let them go, and everyone left the partially destroyed hall.

Soon after, Song Wancheng, Zhen Yuan, and Shen Xu arrived in the couple’s room.

’Fortunately, Xiao Weimin didn’t follow us here.’ Shen Xu thought while closing the door.

“How will you thank me?” Song Wancheng asked when everyone sat down.

“For what?” Shen Xu pretended not to know, and Song Wancheng rolled his eyes in disgust.

“You must have used a jade pendant to block that attack, right? If I didn’t take the blame, how would you have explained the outcome? Everyone knows I bought the pendant at the auction, but what about you?” Song Wancheng smiled.

’He thinks we have a jade pendant? It’s better than the truth.’ Shen Xu thought and smiled at Song Wancheng.

“What reward do you want?” He asked.

“If you dare to ask for something outrageous, I will ask Brother Yuan to deal with you.”

However, although he said this, Shen Xu was grateful.

Ultimately, he didn’t want other people to discover Zhen Yuan’s secrets.

Because Song Wancheng took the initiative to take the blame, the truth was hidden, and no one suspected anything.

“I will tell you when I think about it.” Song Wancheng helplessly shrugged.

“We should also thank you for supporting us in the disciplinary hall. Without your support, the disciplinary elders wouldn’t have been so lenient on Zhen Yuan. The elders may not have agreed to properly investigate the matter.”

“It turns out you discovered how powerful I am.” Song Wancheng proudly said.

“If you know it, you should treat me to dinner and drinks.”

“Yes, yes, young master Song.” Shen Xu said, and the two burst into laughter.

After that, the three steered the conversation away from rewards.

“Shen Xu, what’s going on with Xiao Weimin?”

“Who knows!” Shen Xu spoke through gritted teeth.

When he heard this, Song Wancheng sighed and solemnly looked at the two.

“You may not know this, but Xiao Weimin is strange.” He said.

“Strange? How so?” Zhen Yuan asked.

“His luck is absurdly good, and he always seems to get everything he wants. Since he has set his sight on Shen Xu, you must both be careful.”

“You still provoked him while knowing this?” Shen Xu asked with a curious expression.

Hearing this, Song Wancheng trembled.

“You must protect me from now on.” He begged, and Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

A moment later, the double removed a jade pendant from his storage bag and gave it to Song Wancheng.

“Take it.” He said.

Seeing the jade pendant, Song Wancheng smiled.

“As I thought, you were that couple at the auction.” The young master said, and hurriedly took the jade pendant.

“Keep it a secret.”

“Okay.” Song Wancheng agreed, put away the jade pendant, and looked at the two.

“Do you need my help to investigate Shi Qiao’s matter?” He asked.

“We will let you know if we do.” Shen Xu said.

After that, Song Wancheng left the room, and the two entered the space.

“What a day.” Shen Xu said, leaning on Zhen Yuan.

“The following days won’t be peaceful.” Zhen Yuan reminded, and Shen Xu nodded.

“The Shi family won’t let us go.” He sighed.

Originally, Shen Xu didn’t intend to deal with unrelated Shi family members.

However, since Shi Qiao died, Shen Xu knew things wouldn’t be easy.

Even if he ignored the rest of the Shi family, would they let him go?

Without a doubt, Shi Qiao’s parents would want revenge, and if those died, other Shi people would come for revenge.

“I am the one who caused the trouble.” Zhen Yuan said.

“Mmm.” Shen Xu nodded and soon continued.

“If someone was so disrespectful and rude to you, I would also not restrain myself. ”

“Brother Yuan, you and I are both troublemakers. Fortunately, the Canglan continent is a low-level continent and we can deal with the trouble we cause. If we want to live freely when we go to higher level continents, we must improve our cultivation.”

“Don’t worry.” Zhen Yuan said, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
