“Grunting ——” Jin Mingxuan didn’t give up yet, still struggling hard to say something.
This resilience to fight to the death to stay alive allowed Qing Yu to find one more similarity between him and himself.
And watching a man with a very similar nature to his own step towards death, Qing Yu did not have the feeling that things were hurting him, but only a different kind of pleasure. After all, it’s better to have fewer bad guys like yourself in the world, isn’t it?
Suddenly, Qing Yu felt like saying something, but what to say? To say that he appeared at just the right time, every time when he was supposed to, as on that snowy night on the eighth day of the lunar month when he brought himself the message of the intruder.
Or, say how one’s found his breakthrough, from the suspicion in the morning after the snowy night, to the sudden appearance of an extra man in the science, and Kim Myung Hsuan rushing to the rescue, putting on a similar show to his own.
There was nothing to say. Time was of the essence now, and there was no time for one to flaunt oneself in front of this dying man. Besides, the words spoken might be heard by Luo Yan. There was no need.
No matter what, Jin Mingxuan had to die. This man, who resembled himself, had been hiding in the shadows and quietly spying on him for months, and Qing Yu could not tolerate him remaining alive.
Raising his hand, he sent out a sword qi and added a sword to Jin Mingxuan’s neck, separating his body from his head. Then he pulled out a sealed bottle of potion from his pocket, pulled out the bottle that was so tightly corked, and threw it at Jin Mingxuan’s corpse.
There was no telling how many unknown tricks the disciple of the “Uncanny Divine Constable” had up his sleeve. Qing Yu did not get close enough to try to see if he had a way to die together, and there was no guarantee that he had left any information behind, so it was better to just destroy the body. After all, Jin Mingxuan was a person similar to himself, and Qing Yu would never dare to have the slightest thought of underestimating him.
“Goodbye ——” is not enough, Qing Yu once again offered the best way to destroy the corpse, set fire.
Qing Yu waited a little, waiting for the fire to grow and burn up any location that Jin Ming Xuan touched after he came to it, then he froze the air with Xuan Ice Power to extinguish the fire.
Then, finally remembering poor senior brother Zhang, Qing Yu walked over and lifted up the corpse of the senior brother, who did not even know his full name yet, and releasing the Sense Smell Bug once again, Qing Yu used his light energy to rush towards Feng Jiu’s location.
“Many days of friendship were lost in one day, the eyes of your friend before he died are watching you. Host, cheers for stabbing your friend twice, 200 villain points awarded.” The system came out to show its presence again at this time.
“System don’t be funny, like me and Jin Mingxuan, how can we be considered friends ——”
——————
Xiao Lian fled in disarray for an unknown period of time, finally unable to support himself, holding onto a large tree on the side and bending over to spit out the blood from his injuries that had recurred from running all the way.
“The scholars of Northern Zhou are really much stronger than those sissies of the Great Qian, strong enough!” Even though he was severely injured, Xiao Lian still showed a quick smile.
“The sissies of the Great Qian can kill you right now!” Cold voices were heard as the trio came steadily from the woods to the side. Clearly slow in pace, the trio appeared beside Xiao Lian like they were shrinking into an inch.
“Heh,” Xiao Lian laughed casually, not caring about his opponent’s threat, “if you had the ability, there wouldn’t be only three people left in the small secret realm this time. Kill Rao if you have the guts, don’t bleep around here if you don’t ——”
“You ——” The scholar standing on the left was provoked by Xiao Lian’s words, “Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?!”
“Then come on!” The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the problem.
“Shut up.” The man in the middle of the trio shouted.
“Yes, senior brother Lu.”
Xiao Lian also did not provoke, this young man called Lu Yi in front of him is a tough guy, he can not touch, it is better to shut up. Strength determines status, Xiao Lian, who came from the Divine Martial Army, had always agreed with this view.
The three men who had arrived were the three scholars of science from the Great Qian side of the literary competition. In the middle of the three was Lu Yi, who had been specially reminded by Luo Yan earlier.
Lu Yi was dressed in a different ink-coloured Confucian uniform from the other scholars of science, a sign that he would be the next ruler of science.
This is due to the fact that the doctrine of science has a Daoist influence. It is because the doctrine of Daoism has a theological dimension to it, as it worships Hao Tian God as the supreme God and the embodiment of the Divine Principle. This is why they are not allowed to be Confucian, and are denounced as pseudo-Confucians by the Shanhe School, which is the orthodox school of Confucianism.
However, this idea was highly respected by the imperial family in Great Qian. The word “Mu Qing” of the Great Qian Emperor Ji Muqing means both the Confucianism of making the world clear and the meaning of “heaven”.
Zhu Xiping, the founder of the science of reasoning, wrote a book saying that the Great Ancestor Ji Muqing was the earthly incarnation of Hao Tian God, that the establishment of the Great Qian was a mandate from Heaven, and that the successive emperors of the Great Qian were all sons of Heaven. This statement deified the Great Qian emperor and elevated him to a supreme position, which naturally made him popular with the emperors.
The fact that Lu Yi had this temperament meant that he had already deeply experienced the essence of the culture of science, and it was no wonder that he had been established as the future ruler of science.
“I apologise to you for my brother’s rudeness,” Lu Yi said to Xiao Lian, after stopping his brother, “We are all from the Great Qian, and we are here to serve His Majesty, so we should work together. But Captain Xiao, I don’t want to hear you insulting my discipline with your obscene words.”
Lu Yi’s eyes were fixed on Xiao Lian, although he did not say what he would do if he heard it again, but Xiao Lian could see from his eyes that that how would certainly not be like the one next to him just now, who only shouted with his mouth. Xiao Lian, a veteran soldier who knows how to protect his body, immediately laughed dryly and said, “Naturally, I won’t.”
“Thank you, Captain Xiao,” Lu Yi nodded in satisfaction, “Captain Xiao, nowadays, it is obvious where the Tienzi martial arts are. A day and a night will certainly not allow us to play the game of finding something, and it is set to be in that academy at the top of the mountain. Your Divine Martial Army’s Colonel Hai told you to head to the mountain-top academy and seize the Heavenly Son Martial Science.”
“No more chasing after the people of the Mountain River Academy?” Xiao Lian asked.
“Of course not, we are splitting our forces into two, one way for the people from your Divine Martial Army and Department Six, to go ahead and seize the Heavenly Son Martial Science. The rest of us, including the three of us, went ahead to stop and kill the people from the Mountain River Academy.” Lu Yi said.
“Just in time, it will also show people whether our science is really inferior to that of the Mountain River School.”
“Haha, just in time, with Mr. Lu’s martial arts skills, he will definitely be able to get his hands on them.” Xiao Lian remembered the demonstration of Lu Yi’s mastery before he came to the Shanhe Academy and complimented him with great enthusiasm. Thinking about the creepy feeling at that time, Xiao Lian shuddered a little, and Xiao Lian, who knew the way to protect his body, even called out “sir”.
