151 Lonely and Unwanted

Two days later, the teachers and students returned to the academy, but they had lost their initial excitement and happiness.

This time, the chaos in Wan Ling Mountain had caused many injuries and deaths. They were already very thankful to come back alive, let alone care about anything else.

The news quickly spread around the Imperial City and created a huge uproar.

…

Peach Garden.

The elders and teachers were gathered together, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was stiff.

After a long while, Elder Sun sighed. “Uncle-Master is cultivating in seclusion these days. I’ll report to him personally and punish myself when he comes out.”

The crowd looked at each other and started to advise him otherwise. “Elder Sun, this was an accident. You can’t blame yourself…”

Thus, they were also included in the death count.

Elder Sun was dazed when he heard the two names and kept quiet for a while. “Inform their family members of the news. Also, our academy will be fully responsible for this incident, so do your best in terms of compensation.”

“Yes.”

…

Gu family.

Pak!

A crisp slap broke the room’s silence.

Gu Mingfeng’s head turned to the side, and his face instantly swelled up.

“How did you take care of your elder sister? Why is everyone okay, but she is dead? Gu Mingfeng, you better clearly explain yourself today. If not, don’t think of leaving this house!”

What is his disdain for me based on? Is it just because my mother had a lowly background? Or is it because I’m the product of Gu Wenhui’s drunk actions?

Gu Mingfeng wiped away the blood on his mouth and slowly stood up. His gentle face was expressionless, but his entire body was cold to the point that it emanated a terrifying aura.

Gu Wenhui was even angrier when he saw Gu Mingfeng like this. “Get lost! The Gu family doesn’t have someone like you!”

Gu Mingfeng looked up. “Since you’re chasing me out, I’ll listen to you. From now on, I won’t take another step into the Gu family, and I won’t get in your way.”

Then, Gu Mingfeng directly turned around to leave.

Gu Wenhui slammed the table.

When Chu Ning heard the news, he was discussing important matters with Emperor Jiawen in the palace.
