Hundreds of people gathered together, all talking about what happened last night.
Fortunately, the arrows were not aimed at their tent, otherwise they would have been dead.
"This is too scary. Someone within the Imperial College openly wants to assassinate us. If the senior officials of the Imperial College know about this, they will definitely be outraged."
Feng Bingquan's death is not the focus.
The point is that their safety has been threatened. This is the Imperial College. Before they have officially joined, their lives are threatened. It will be a huge blow to the reputation of the Imperial College.
Who came to assassinate him in the middle of the night was like a mystery. It was definitely not Liu Wuxie. He had nothing to do to murder him, so there must be someone else.
"Could it be Xue Pinzhi?"
Yesterday afternoon, Xue Pinzhi wanted to kill Liu Wuxie, but Chen Leyao stood up to stop him. Perhaps out of hatred, he came to assassinate him in the middle of the night.
"It's impossible. Even if Xue Pinzhi wants to kill him, he will borrow a knife to kill him. It's impossible for him to come here in the middle of the night and let the college get a handle on him."
They were quickly overthrown. If they were replaced by normal people, they would not come by themselves. They would definitely be faked by others.
There are various opinions and speculations, true and false, false and true, it is impossible to tell who wants to kill Liu Wuxie.
Everyone present is suspected and cannot be shaken off.
At three o'clock in the morning, Fan Yeping, Xue Pinzhi and Chen Leyao appeared on the martial arts field, and the strong bloody atmosphere had not yet dissipated.
The tent was put away, and Feng Bingquan's body was carried out and lay flat on the ground.
In addition to a stab wound on his neck, there was also an arrow that shot from the back of his head and penetrated directly through his entire throat, killing him with one blow.
"Who killed him?" Fan Yeping shouted.
How could a human life be caused during the Imperial College examination? This has never happened in previous years.
There was silence all around, no one answered, and no one knew how to answer. The person died like this. After the key point died, he was attacked once.
Xue Pinzhi was standing in the distance, and when he heard that someone had died, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had succeeded. He didn't know the news of Feng Bingquan's death yet, and thought that the body lying on the ground was Liu Wuxie.
After waiting for about a few minutes, someone came forward and gave a complete account of what happened last night without adding any exaggeration. With so many people present, it was impossible to lie.
Chen Leyao should have truthfully reported to Fan Yeping everything about yesterday's assessment, including what happened between Xue Pinzhi and Liu Wuxie.
Xue Pinzhi and Chen Leyao are both Fan Yeping's students. As long as it's not too outrageous, Fan Yeping usually won't pursue it.
The narration spread throughout the martial arts arena. Xue Pinzhi stood in the distance and could hear the conversation clearly. He staggered and took a few steps forward. He glanced at Feng Bingquan, who was already stiff, and flashed in his eyes. A hint of panic.
There have been similar fights over tents in the past years, but usually few lives were lost.
Fan Yeping's eyes fell on Liu Wuxie. At this time, Liu Wuxie stepped down from the boulder and stopped practicing.
"You were the one who killed me!" A trace of anger flashed in Fan Yeping's eyes.
No matter what, if someone dies in Imperial College, they have to give an explanation to their families, and they cannot die here for no reason.
"yes!"
There was no excuse, let alone refutation. In one straightforward word, he explained his subjective consciousness, people... are mine to kill.
Some people sneered and others sighed. Admitting meant accepting the wrath of the Imperial Academy. They were all assessment students and should be protected by the academy.
"Why do you want to kill people!"
Fan Yeping suppressed the anger in his heart. Liu Wuxie ranked first in the ten-mile long street assessment. He was extremely talented and a good prospect. However, just because of his high talent, he could not act arbitrarily and kill people at will.
"Because he wants to kill me!"
Liu Wuxie's answer was plain and simple. Feng Bingquan wanted to kill him, but he was just protecting himself, so there was no problem.
"Then do you know that you killed the Imperial College assessment student, and I can now deprive you of your assessment status and expel you from the academy."
Fan Yeping finally took action. According to the rules of the college, Liu Wuxie killed the assessment student and should be expelled.
The strange thing is that when Fan Yeping said these words, Liu Wuxie was not only not angry, but also showed a hint of ridicule.
"Then let me ask the instructor, is the safety of all of us guaranteed? Isn't this the college's mistake? I was right to kill him, but...how do you explain this?"
Liu Wuxie pointed at the arrow on Feng Bingquan's neck, and then sneered.
Fan Yeping almost choked with his righteous words.
Liu Wuxie was right. There were more than 500 assessment students present, and even the minimum safety could not be guaranteed. They were assassinated in the middle of the night. If this incident spread, the Imperial College's reputation would not survive.
As for him killing Feng Bingquan, it was just a fight with each other. If it is really investigated, the Imperial Academy also bears the main responsibility. During the assessment, the instructor left and did not take safety measures, leaving more than 500 people on the martial arts field, leaving them alone. Acting on your own is a big mistake.
It's normal for them to be young and energetic, and have friction with each other. Didn't the Imperial Academy consider these issues?
If this matter gets too big, it will be of no benefit to anyone. The first person to be investigated is Fan Yeping's crime of dereliction of duty.
The assessment student was attacked. The matter was too implicated, and others were still frightened. Fortunately, the arrow was shot inside Liu Wuxie's tent. If it had been shot at their tent, they would be lying here like Feng Bingquan now.
People were pointing around, and many people even thought of withdrawing from taking the imperial college exams, but they didn't expect that even this little safety measure was not in place.
In this regard, Tianmu College is far better than Imperial College. They have caught up from behind and have a vague tendency to surpass Imperial College.
Many people think they cannot get into the Imperial College, so they will naturally say some words that are not conducive to the Imperial College.
"Please give me a reasonable explanation, instructor. If you can't even guarantee basic safety, what's the point of not joining the Imperial Academy? Everyone, don't you think so!"
Liu Wuxie continued to ask questions. These words attracted the support of half of the people. After all, more than half of the people would still be eliminated and had no sense of belonging to the Imperial Academy.
"Yes, who will ensure our safety? Will we die inexplicably during the assessment?"
Many people stood up to support Liu Wuxie. They hated him last night because his level was not very high, but he won the first place in Ten Mile Street, which made many people jealous.
The situation is different now. Someone wants to kill them, and they must stand up and find out who is behind it.
"Boy, don't talk nonsense. In my opinion, you must have offended someone to come here to kill you in the middle of the night. Why not kill others."
Xue Pinzhi took a step forward and pointed at Liu Wuxie, "This matter has nothing to do with Imperial College. It is your personal grudge."
"Oh, Mr. Xue, tell me, who did I offend?" Liu Wuxie suddenly looked harmless and looked at Xue Pinzhi with a smile.
Many people had strange looks on their faces. Xue Pinzhi stood up at this time and made it clear that there was no three hundred taels of silver here. Everyone knew that there was a grudge between the two of you yesterday, and you were the most suspected of killing Liu Wuxie.
"I don't know who you have offended. Maybe it's someone from Tianmu College who wants to kill you."
Xue Pinzhi realized his slip of the tongue and quickly corrected it. He meant to tell everyone that I want to kill you, but I will never assassinate you.
"Teacher, I also suspect that the people from Tianmu College are responsible. Feng Bingquan may have been bribed by Tianmu College to deliberately destroy the geniuses of our Imperial College. Coupled with the sneak attack last night, it is most likely their fault."
Chen Leyao suddenly walked out and bowed to Fan Yeping. What he said was quite reasonable.
Liu Wuxie ranked first in the ten-mile long street assessment. Naturally, Tianmu College would not allow the Imperial College to absorb the talented seedlings. The best way was to kill him secretly.
In addition, there was a conflict between them during the day. Looking back, everyone nodded, thinking that what Chen Leyao said made sense.
Anyone who understands knows that it will not benefit anyone if Chen Leyao continues to make trouble after giving Fan Yeping a step down.
The person is dead, and everyone has no relatives or friends. The most they can do is express condolences. It is really not worth the gain to accept the interrogation of the college's senior management for a dead person. Fan Yeping is not a fool, so he just gave a few symbolic interrogations.
All the responsibilities are shifted to Tianmu College. This ending can be said to be a happy one for everyone.
In the end, it was unanimously concluded that Feng Bingquan was bribed by Tianmu College and had ulterior motives in assessing the students of Imperial College, and was brutally killed.
Even if this matter comes to an end, the assessment will continue.
Many people are still in the dark. Is this how it ends?
Only a few people looked at Liu Wuxie meaningfully. Everyone knew that he had something to do with Tianmu College!
Continuous rhetorical questions saved the situation. Even the instructor was speechless. This guy is not simple.
Xue Pinzhi glared at Liu Wuxie fiercely. He was not dead, which meant that last night's plan failed. This matter must not be leaked.
"Thank you very much, Miss Chen, for standing up and rescuing me. Plus yesterday, I owe you two favors."
Everyone dispersed to prepare for today's assessment, leaving only Liu Wuxie and Chen Leyao.
Liu Wuxie's continuous retorts made Fan Yeping lose face. Chen Leyao suddenly stood up. It was most appropriate that Xue Pinzhi could not help Liu Wuxie speak.
The only person present who could help Liu Wuxie was Chen Leyao.
"I'm just telling the truth. Get ready, the second test is about to begin!"
Chen Leyao smiled slightly and didn't care too much. Of course she didn't want to miss such a good prospect like Liu Wuxie.
No matter what, Liu Wuxie will keep this love in her heart and will repay it slowly if there is an opportunity in the future. There is no harm in making one more friend.
The assessment on the second day was even simpler. There was a huge pillar standing deep in the square, and the three of them could not hug it. This should be used to test strength and talent.
Yesterday's assessment was all basic, and it was suspected of being tricky. Many people could basically pass the first level by relying on their physical strength.
Today is different. Talent cannot be compensated by the physical body. This pillar is called a test pillar. It is made of special crystal stones and can not only test strength, but also test various attributes.
