Qingyang Zi said, “Be assured, since you’ve helped them, you won’t be forsaken, I will make sure to retrieve your stuff for you.”

Pei Xuanjing nodded. The harvest from last night was already quite good for him. As for the rewards mentioned by Fu Changge, he didn’t hold much hope.

But since Qingyang Zi had spoken, he naturally had to express his gratitude.

However, these were all trivial matters. What was more important to Pei Xuanjing was knowing who was behind the Three Wolves of MO Bei.

“Dean, who is pulling the strings behind these three?” Pei Xuanjing’s question was direct.

As a victim, it was only right for him to track down the perpetrator. He didn’t beat around the bush.

Hearing Pei Xuanjing’s question, Qingyang Zi’s expression became complicated. “You’ve finally spoken. ”

He had taken the initiative to come here today, and had deliberately said those previous words, just to calm the situation. He didn’t want Pei Xuanjing to ask, but despite his efforts, the question was asked. Pei Xuanjing replied with a cold tone, “Does the dean think I can still avoid getting involved today?”

He understood Qingyang Zi’s good intentions, but Pei Xuanjing had a clearer understanding of the situation.

If he could have avoided getting involved before, now after last night, he was already deeply ingrained and there was absolutely no chance of retreating.

Pei Xuanjing had already encountered many third-grade Martial Artists, including Shentu Han, who fell into his hands, meaning there were many third-grade Martial Artists, as abundant as cabbages on the roadside.

But this was only survivor’s bias.

Throughout the vast territory of the Great Ming, a third-grade Martial Artist, even an impostor

Grand-master, was a pillar figure in any top- tier force and represents top-notch fighting power.

Why did the Three Wolves of MO Bei get on the wanted list of the Six Gates, and still live leisurely in MO Bei?

It was because even the Six Gates wouldn’t touch them without necessity. It could possibly cause substantial losses to the Six Gates, leading to a case of gaining more than losing.

Had these three not run into Pei Xuanjing, and encountered other third-grade grand-masters instead, even if they couldn’t defeat them, they could have retreated easily, and they wouldn’t have died in Tiandu.

So Pei Xuanjing’s sudden move this time established his reputation, causing the forces in Tiandu to be apprehensive of him.

Similarly, the people behind the scenes would bear a grudge against Pei Xuanjing, after all, the death of the three pseudo Grand -masters was a huge loss for any force.

Therefore for Pei Xuanjing, before getting involved, he could find a way to avoid it.

But since he was already involved, he shouldn’t hold any doubts, for now, there was only one path left for him, that was to engage proactively to break through the situation.

Fearful and dependent on luck, then he would be left with only one way to die.

Pei Xuanjing pushed harder, “So, you still don’t want to tell me?”

Qingyang Zi gave a bitter smile, “Don’t hurry, In fact, it’s not that I refuse to answer, but I am unsure of who it is.”

“Unsure of who it is?” Pei Xuanjing was confused.

He found it hard to believe this answer.

Looking at Pei Xuanjing’s doubt, Qingyang Zi explained, “Since possibilities are vast, I can’t ascertain who it is in reality.”

There were too many suspects, it was difficult to determine a particular one.

Pei Xuanjing affirmed his previous predictions; the waters of the Martial Academy were indeed too deep.

Qingyang Zi continued, “The Great Ming has been established for many years, and many rules set by

And he laughed, looking at Pei Xuanjings emotions, and continued speaking, “The existence of the Martial Academy has become a thorn in many people’s side, and as long as it exists, it will make many people uncomfortable. I had originally thought that they would not act hastily since the ‘Martial

Classics’ have not yet been compiled successfully and would only wait until then to make a move.”

“But unexpectedly, some people can’t wait any longer. They are eager to make a move, wanting to completely destroy the Martial Academy and eradicate this place they see as a ‘source of trouble’.”

Hearing Qingyang Zi’s words, Pei Xuanjing thought back to the final act in the life simulation, where those culprits use all their might to destroy the Martial Academy in Tiandu..

Probably, what these people care about is not only the ‘Martial Classics’ , but also the people who compile the ‘Martial Classics’. They believe that if they solve the person who raises the problem, the problem itself would be solved.

Qingyang Zi went on, “Do you know the emperor’s reaction last night upon hearing about your assassination in the Palace City?”

“The emperor wanted to call the troops of the four townships into Tiandu to defend the Martial Academy. If it weren’t for our deterrence, a whirlwind would have likely stirred in today’s court.” “So that’s how it is, everything lines up,” Pei Xuanjing thought.

Would a commander of the Brocade Guards really dare to do such a thing without the emperor’s permission?

Pei Xuanjing probed, “It seems the emperor is very determined.”

Deploying troops from the four townships into Tiandu is not only a deterrence but also shows the emperor’s determination to many people.

The downside is that all conflicts and contradictions will be laid bare, making reconciliation impossible without the emperor’s personal involvement.

That is also the reason why Qingyang Zi and others stopped it.

Even if it were to happen, the emperor couldn’t do it himself.

Qingyang Zi nodded, “So that’s why you had to suffer a little injustice last night.”

Pei Xuanjing nodded, “I understand.”

Even though he agreed, Pei Xuanjing would not readily put this matter aside. Once he finds out who was behind it, he will undoubtedly take action without hesitation.

He has never been one to swallow an insult.

“By the way, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion and get an additional three Martial Studies as my compensation for you,” Qingyang Zi said to Pei Xuanjing.

“Thank you, Dean,” Pei Xuanjing said, his gaze elated.

The opportunity to borrow extra Martial Studies from the Scripture Pavilion was indeed a joyful occasion for Pei Xuanjing. After all, he didn’t get his accomplishments easily, and now he had a chance, he definitely couldn’t miss it..
