Chen Yang agrees to help Huang Tianwen concoct an antidote within three to five days in exchange for information about a mighty one's abode. He prepares to return to Cangnan Academy to submit an assignment. As Chen Yang, Yang Qingwan, and Chen Jing leave the city, Zou Tianxu, whose brother Chen Yang killed, decides to ambush them, believing their alliance is merely coincidental.

The best way to wash away the shame is naturally to kill Chen Yang.

That’s why they’re so determined to kill Chen Yang.

Even if Cangnan Academy intervenes, they still want to kill Chen Yang!

...

On the other side, after leaving Weng City, Chen Yang always felt that there was something following him.

But every time he looked back to check, he found nothing.

This feeling was very strange, making Chen Yang somewhat doubt whether he was sensing things incorrectly.

Yang Qingwan noticed Chen Yang’s frequent turning back actions and immediately said, "No need to look back anymore. They’ve caught up, but for some reason haven’t made a move yet."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was suddenly stunned!

His perception was indeed correct.

Someone did catch up.

Chen Yang’s face suddenly turned gloomy.

He never expected that those three would still come.

"They haven’t made a move, you don’t need to make a fuss. Just watch what they do," Yang Qingwan continued.

Okay.

Chen Yang nodded and said nothing more, continuing his journey towards Cangnan Academy.

About an hour later, the group was already dozens of kilometers away from Weng City when the three behind finally couldn’t hold back.

They made a move!

A long spear shot towards Chen Yang’s back like an arrow.

Chen Yang had always known someone was behind him, so naturally he was prepared.

Detecting the danger, he immediately dodged to the side.

The long spear just brushed past him, the wind it carried even tore Chen Yang’s robe!

"Who!"

Chen Yang immediately turned and shouted angrily into the woods behind him.

"Damn it, who’s sneaking around here? If you’re a man, come out!"

Tu Qi was also furious, turning back and cursing angrily.

Yang Qingwan and Chen Jing also stopped, looking back with furrowed brows.

They were angry because the three dared to make a move despite knowing they were there. They were not being taken seriously.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

As Tu Qi’s words fell, three figures immediately rushed out of the woods.

The leading man resembled Zou Tianming somewhat.

He was wearing simple armor, holding a long spear with an imposing manner.

Behind him were a man and a woman, equally formidable.

Roughly estimating, they likely had Mid-stage Condensation strength.

The leader, Zou Tianxu, had even more powerful later-stage strength.

Such a lineup to deal with Chen Yang showed the Zou family’s determination to remove Chen Yang for revenge and cleanse their shame.

Chen Yang was only at the Early-stage Condensation, yet the Zou family sent three such level powerhouses.

"Zou Tianxu, so it’s you."

Chen Jing immediately recognized the intruder.

"Miss Chen." Zou Tianxu wasn’t in a hurry to act, instead politely greeted Chen Jing.

"Haha, so you still recognize me, Zou Tianxu? Attacking me from behind, are you representing the Zou family to ambush my sister and me?" Chen Jing immediately challenged, pinning a label on Zou Tianxu.

Tu Qi and Chen Yang were stunned when they heard this.

Chen Jing was quite clever.

Not as naive and innocent as she seemed.

Zou Tianxu’s face also darkened upon hearing this, then immediately explained, "Miss Chen, Miss Yang, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t intend to target either of you."

"Then what do you mean?" Chen Jing pressed further.

"We’re here to kill Chen Yang, and it has nothing to do with anyone else," Zou Tianxu said directly, not mincing his words.

"Kill Chen Yang? Don’t you know Chen Yang is a disciple of Cangnan Academy? Moreover, the Zou family’s issue with him has already been handled by the academy. Do you still want to oppose our academy?" Chen Jing continued after some thought.

Zou Tianxu’s face turned gloomy.

"Miss Chen, the hatred from my brother’s death can’t just be forgotten. Today we are only targeting him, please give the Zou family face and don’t intervene," Zou Tianxu didn’t want to continue the argument with Chen Jing.

He went straight to the point.

Upon hearing Zou Tianxu’s words, Chen Jing couldn’t help but look at Yang Qingwan.

Yang Qingwan remained silent.

Chen Jing understood, turned and continued to address Zou Tianxu, "Chen Yang is a disciple of Cangnan Academy. Asking us not to intervene, isn’t that a joke on how heartless my sister and I are?"

Zou Tianxu’s face grew increasingly ugly.

Chen Jing either pinned a label on him or diverted the conversation.

In the end, she just wanted to protect Chen Yang!

"So, are you two definitely going to help him?" Zou Tianxu’s voice suddenly turned cold, showing an intent to forcefully act.

"This isn’t about helping or not. When you’re trying to act against our schoolmate in front of us, it’s too disrespectful to my sister and I, get it?" Chen Jing continued her argument.

Zou Tianxu heard this and found himself in a dilemma.

He was also somewhat confused about what Chen Jing and Yang Qingwan truly intended.

"If you don’t act in front of us, then this matter has nothing to do with my sister, but if you act before us, sorry, my sister and I can’t just stand by, since we’re also part of Cangnan Academy," said Chen Jing.

"I understand."

Zou Tianxu nodded with a cold face.

Since Chen Jing said so, he knew that it was impossible to act against Chen Yang.

Because even if they made a move, with the intervention of Yang Qingwan and Chen Jing, they surely couldn’t capture Chen Yang.

Not to mention the risk of offending the Yang and Chen families.

Thinking it over, he decided not to act.

"Chen Yang, today you’re lucky. With Miss Chen and Miss Yang here, I’ll give them face, but you can’t stay behind them forever, right? I will find a chance to make sure you die!" Zou Tianxu, failing to act, immediately turned to threaten Chen Yang.

Chen Yang coldly smiled, indifferent: "I’m waiting."

"Very well, guts."

Zou Tianxu nodded, then he directly left with the two behind him...

"Haha, this guy is quite sensible. If he really dared to make a move, I’d beat them to death," Chen Jing immediately laughed seeing Zou Tianxu leave.

Chen Yang gratefully looked at the two of them, "Thank you, senior sisters, for helping me again."

Yang Qingwan didn’t say a word, she turned and continued her journey towards Cangnan Academy.

"Haha, no need to thank us, just repay my sister and me later." joked Chen Jing.

"..."

Chen Yang was speechless hearing this, somewhat amused but confused.

Indeed, he needed to repay, but why did she say it so directly? It felt off.

Really a puzzle.

"Haha, let’s go, sister has gone far ahead."

Chen Jing called out, then left.

Seeing this, Chen Yang and Tu Qi also immediately used spiritual power to catch up.

The four spent several hours traveling from Weng City to the academy.

Upon entering the academy, Chen Jing and Yang Qingwan left immediately.

Tu Qi also bid farewell to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, I’ll go now. I won’t accompany you to the Contribution Hall to submit the task."

"Hmm, alright."

Chen Yang nodded in agreement.

Tu Qi had helped a lot this journey to Weng City.

After Tu Qi left, he went alone to the Contribution Hall to submit the task.

When he handed in the task, the disciples at the Contribution Hall were stunned.

A task this challenging, completed?
