Chapter 95: Questioning

[What happened to the Dongfang family?]

[Destroyed overnight.] Shen Xu said and soon continued.

[It was a big mystery in the Tianxuan continent.]

When he heard this, Zhen Yuan frowned but soon regained his composure.

Although Dongfang Jing was an acquaintance, his family’s fate had nothing to do with them.

Most importantly, it was still unknown how their relationship with Dongfang Jing would develop.

After all, words were said and threats were issued.

Half an hour later, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan arrived at the academy dean’s courtyard.

After waiting fifty breaths outside the formation, the door opened and a man invited them in.

The man was Chen Yi.

Since he promised Dongfang Jing, he didn’t make things difficult for Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu.

However, he didn’t give them a good face.

[Be careful of this person.] Zhen Yuan suddenly transmitted.

[What’s wrong with him?] Shen Xu asked, looking at the black-clothed man with a curious expression.

[I can’t see his cultivation level.]

[He could be hiding his cultivation.]

[No. His cultivation realm should be a few realms higher than mine.]

[Realms?] Shen Xu couldn’t help but be shocked.

After all, the highest cultivation realm in the Canglan continent was the golden core realm.

Although there were nascent soul realm cultivators, most were remnants of a more prosperous past and the rest came from other continents.

[His cultivation is higher than the nascent soul realm.] Zhen Yuan revealed in a solemn voice.

[Xiaoxu, stay close to me.]

[I know.] Shen Xu nodded, feeling a little frightened.

[Don’t worry. If things go wrong, we can enter the space or activate a teleportation formation disk to escape.]

Hearing this, Shen Xu forced himself to calm down.

Soon after, Chen Yi led the two into a sitting room where a man was already waiting.

“Have a seat.” The man instructed but Shen Xu frowned while looking around.

“Where is academy dean Dongfang?” The double asked.

When they heard the question, the other three looked at Shen Xu with inexplicable expressions.

“Xiaoxu, the academy dean is right there.” Zhen Yuan said with a doting look.

“Where?” Shen Xu asked, following the path of his husband’s eyes.

A moment later, his jaw dropped but he soon nodded with an excited expression.

“As expected, the academy dean is an exceptionally handsome man.” Shen Xu subconsciously exclaimed and turned to Zhen Yuan.

“Brother Yuan, am I right or am I right?” He asked, his chin proudly raised to the sky.

However, Zhen Yuan didn’t know what to say.

First, he couldn’t believe how fast his wife got over his nerves.

Second, did his wife really want an answer to that question?

Thinking this way, Zhen Yuan looked at Shen Xu with a smile.

“Do you really want me to answer that question?” He asked.

“Why…” Shen Xu stopped himself and glared at Zhen Yuan.

“Do you dare?” He sneered, pinching the person’s waist for good measure.

’How unreasonable.’ Zhen Yuan thought but didn’t blame the person.

“I don’t dare.” Zhen Yuan promised and Shen Xu nodded in approval.

“Good.”

Seeing the interaction between the two, Chen Yi and Dongfang Jing were flabbergasted.

’Where to go from here?’ They wondered.

Before the two arrived, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi had already agreed on a plan of action.

First, Chen Yi would intimidate the two and then Dongfang Jing would question them.

Unexpectedly, the plan failed before it began.

From the looks of things, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan lacked common sense and couldn’t read a room.

As a result, they were completely at ease and felt no fear for their lives.

With a helpless sigh, Dongfang Jing pointed at the sofa.

“Sit.” He invited and the two didn’t hesitate.

“Do you know why I called you here?” He asked and Shen Xu almost rolled his eyes.

’This line of questioning brings back a lot of memories.’ He thought.

On Earth, school teachers used to ask that question whenever he was invited to the office.

As a result, Shen Xu had long become a veteran of playing along.

“I know.” He nodded, looking at Dongfang Jing with innocent eyes.

Following that, before Dongfang Jing could ask the inevitable follow up question, Shen Xu volunteered an answer.

“The academy dean wants me to refine a robe for him.” He said and quickly continued.

“I am willing but I no longer have the required materials.” The double said, his face flushing from embarrassment.

Seeing the performance, Zhen Yuan sighed in helpless.

’Xiaoxu really knows how to play.’ He thought.

However, he didn’t demolish Shen Xu’s stage.

Since his wife wanted to play like this, Zhen Yuan could only accompany him.

“The materials don’t necessarily have to be the ones I used in the assessment. The academy dean can use whatever materials he wants.” Shen Xu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi were at a loss.

’Why is the situation becoming more and more incomprehensible?’ Dongfang Jing clenched his hands in frustration.

In the end, he unclenched his hands and his face turned solemn.

“Student Shen Xu, I want to ask about that person?” Dongfang Jing asked.

“That person? Who is the academy dean asking about?” Shen Xu asked, his eyes wider than coins.

“You should know someone protected you during your assessment. Who is that person?”

“Did someone protect me? From what?” Shen Xu asked, looking at Dongfang Jing with an incomprehensible expression.

’Patience. I can’t kill him until I know what is going on.’ Dongfang Jing thought but a trace of murderous intent leaked from his body.

Feeling the intent, Zhen Yuan frowned and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

At the same time, his senses fell on Chen Yi.

If things went wrong, Zhen Yuan wasn’t afraid of Dongfeng Jing.

After all, Shen Xu had the level three inscribed robe, soft armour, jade pendants, formation disks, talismans, and explosive beads.

With these things, Dongfang Jing wasn’t a threat to Shen Xu.

However, the black-clothed man was another matter.

Zhen Yuan felt Shen Xu would be in danger if the man attacked him, regardless of the items on his body.
