Chapter 0087: Upholding Justice
“It’s already been figured out. It’s that kid, Feng Xiaotian, who’s to blame. He led this desert island trial, and he’s always had a crush on Du Meng. But Du Meng later chose Long Ji and wanted to become the empress of the Dragon Language Empire. This time, Du Meng sent people over, and to please her, he let them in and captured the third and fourth young masters.” Bog explained in detail.
“As far as I know, ever since the third young master became Ouyang Hai’s disciple, Feng Xiaotian, as Ouyang Hai’s fifth disciple, has resented the third young master’s talent and has always disliked him, often causing him trouble. But over the years, with the protection of our manor’s experts, Feng Xiaotian hasn’t succeeded. This time, he had Du Meng’s people capture the third and fourth young masters—probably out of premeditation, trying to use Du Meng to get rid of them.” Bog’s eyes burned with hatred, a fierce killing intent flashing through them.
If not for those five old guys at the Divine Wind Academy and the master not being back, Bog would have taken action long ago.
That Feng Xiaotian—how dare he!
Feng Xiaotian! A cold glint appeared in Huang Long’s eyes.
He knew about Feng Xiaotian—the top expert at the Divine Wind Academy, Ouyang Hai’s favorite disciple, and the strongest among the annual top students. Back when Huang Long was at the academy, Feng Xiaotian already disliked him. Who would have thought he’d turn his hand against his own brother and sister this time!
Huang Long turned to Huang Liang and Huang Yi and asked, “Is it true?”
Huang Liang and Huang Yi nodded.
Over the years, Feng Xiaotian had indeed used many tricks against them.
Huang Long sneered, “Good, good, what a Feng Xiaotian!” Then he said, “With you two missing during the desert island trial, let’s head to the academy and see what Ouyang Hai has to say.”
“It’s been six years. I also want to see how far Feng Xiaotian has progressed under Ouyang Hai—level eight?”
Huang Long rode on the Sky Blue Python Ox, taking Huang Liang and Huang Yi out of the manor and heading toward the Divine Wind Academy, with Bog, the two Asuras Kaidi, and Sulis following behind.
The weather was pleasant; the sun was shining brightly that day.
Returning to the Divine Wind Academy, everything looked the same.
Today, the academy was bustling, with many teachers and students coming and going in its streets.
Huang Long’s group’s arrival attracted a lot of attention.
It had been six years since he last was at Shenfeng Academy, and Huang Long’s appearance had changed greatly, both in looks and physique. As a result, few people recognized him at first. But though they didn’t recognize Huang Long, they did recognize his pet, the green ox. Moreover, many were deeply impressed by the stunningly beautiful and enchanting Great Asura Sulis standing behind him.
“Is that Huang Long?” an older student exclaimed, his mouth wide open in shock.
Instantly, the crowd around them erupted in murmurs.
Huang Long, that super genius, was a legend at Shenfeng Academy. Even after all these years, he hadn’t been forgotten by the teachers and students there.
“It’s really him! It’s really Huang Long! I recognize his pet, the green ox, and that maid too!” The crowd grew excited.
“Aren’t those Huang Liang and Huang Yi? His younger brother and sister. It really is him—he’s back!”
“I wonder what his strength is like now. Has he reached level six? That Lei Yun has been working hard these years to surpass him. Not long ago, he was already a level six mage with three magic elements!”
“Who knows? I heard Lei Yun has been waiting for him to return! This is going to be interesting.”
Among the crowd, the Little Witch Zhao Ying and Princess Linna of the Blizzard Empire happened to pass by as well. They stopped in surprise, staring at the young man on the ox’s back—familiar yet strange. Zhao Ying and Linna had different expressions.
Amidst the crowd’s chatter, Huang Long and his group headed toward the academy’s conference hall.
……
Shenfeng Academy, Conference Hall.
Feng Xiaotian stood in the hall, head bowed, looking ashamed.
“What! You mean your sixth junior brother and junior sister Huang Yi disappeared during the desert island trial?” Ouyang Hai’s expression changed upon hearing Feng Xiaotian’s report as the fifth disciple.
Tang Wudi, Yu Qi, Yang Zhen, and Ren Zhongqing all reacted the same way.
“Yes, it was the disciples’ negligence. It wasn’t until after the trial, when the group gathered, that we realized the sixth junior brother and junior sister Huang Yi were missing,” Feng Xiaotian said, filled with self-reproach.
Yu Qi’s expression darkened. He also valued the female disciple Huang Yi highly.
“Describe what happened at that time,” Tang Wudi said thoughtfully.
“Yes, Dean Tang,” Feng Xiaotian replied respectfully, then quickly recounted what had happened during the desert island trial. Of course, it was all made up by him. He claimed that Huang Liang and Huang Yi ignored his orders, deliberately acting on their own because of their strong wills. Unable to overcome their stubbornness, he could only let them act freely.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have allowed them to act on their own,” Feng Xiaotian said, quickly taking responsibility.
Tang Wudi, Yu Qi, Yang Zhen, Ren Zhongqing, and Ouyang Hai all looked grim. If that was the case, it wasn’t surprising that it was this disciple, Feng Xiaotian. Just then, a voice came from the entrance of the hall, “Is that really true?” A young man stepped in, followed by Huang Liang and Huang Yi, the two disciples they thought were missing. Behind them was an old man and two young men and women. When Feng Xiaotian saw Huang Liang and Huang Yi behind Huang Long, his expression changed drastically, and his body trembled, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, “Sixth junior brother, Sister Huang, so you’re here. It’s good that you’re back. Master and the deans were worried about you just now.” “You’re Huang Long!” Tang Wudi, Yu Qi, Yang Zhen, Ren Zhongqing, and Ouyang Hai were overjoyed upon seeing Huang Liang and Huang Yi, then looked at Huang Long in surprise. Huang Long nodded and then said to Bogge behind him, “Tell us what you’ve found out.” “Yes, young master!” Bogge replied respectfully and then recounted what he had discovered. Naturally, the whole situation was completely beyond the expectations of Tang Wudi and the others. After hearing Bogge’s account, their expressions turned grim, especially Ouyang Hai and Yu Qi, whose faces turned pale. As for Feng Xiaotian, his face remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil. After Bogge finished speaking, Tang Wudi ordered Huang Liang and Huang Yi to explain the situation. After they finished, Yang Zhen, whose temper was fierce, slammed the table, his aura surging as he glared at Feng Xiaotian and demanded, “Tell us, is this true?” Among disciples, killing each other is strictly forbidden! Ouyang Hai’s expression became extremely dark. Feng Xiaotian showed signs of panic. Under Yang Zhen’s pressure, he said anxiously, “Dean Yang, no, they’re lying! They’re framing me! It can’t be true. If that were the case, how could the sixth junior brother and Sister Huang be here?” Yang Zhen was stunned, and Tang Wudi and the others relaxed slightly, also confused. Indeed, if Huang Liang and Huang Yi had really been captured by Du Meng in the Dragon Language Empire’s palace, it was impossible for them to appear here. “Master, deans, think about it—is this possible? This is clearly a lie!” Feng Xiaotian felt relieved when he saw his master and Tang Wudi and the others looking suspiciously at Huang Long. He smiled and continued, “Kid, do you dare say it was you who rescued your brother and sister from the Dragon Language Empire’s palace, guarded by the mighty warriors of the Sacred Lands?” Feng Xiaotian pointed at Huang Long with mockery. There was no need for him to explain; his master and the deans surely understood the impossibility of such a thing.
It had been less than a day since Huang Long’s battle in the Imperial Palace of the Dragon Language Empire, and the news had not yet reached the Divine Wind Academy. By then, Tang Wudi and the others were almost all convinced that Huang Long and his companions were lying.
“Master, Dean Tang, you must stand up for me! Huang Liang has always been jealous that I enjoy your favor, so the three of them conspired to frame me. I beg you, Master and Dean Tang, to uphold justice for me!” Feng Xiaotian said with a sorrowful expression, turning to Ouyang Hai to complain.
