The assassination attempt had no impact.
Chu Yuan's life continued as usual, and the classes at the Ye Mansion continued as well. The only difference was that Master Fei had broken through from seclusion.
Yes!
Looking at the aura emanating from Master Fei, he had undoubtedly successfully broken through to the Eighth Rank.
Needless to say!
Chu Yuan wasn't surprised at all that Master Fei had entered the Eighth Rank.
After all!
He had been cultivating for so long and had accumulated so much. Chu Yuan wouldn't have been surprised if he had broken through to the Eighth Rank at any time.
This guy, apart from being a bit lazy, had long met the requirements for breaking through.
However.
If not for the incident of the blind man's bullying, Master Fei probably wouldn't have broken through so quickly.
He's getting on in years!
It would be a shame if he had to wait for the right moment.
At this moment.
After breaking through to the Eighth Rank, Master Fei immediately went to find Chu Yuan.
He glanced at Chu Yuan with a slanted eye and chuckled:
“Little brat!”
“I'm telling you, the reason I let you catch up to me before was because I was being courteous. If you aren't satisfied, how about we spar right now?”
Upon hearing this!
Ye Xiao also leaned in and said: “Teacher, does your poison work on Mr. now?”
As soon as he said this!
Master Fei's originally beaming face stiffened.
Then, he pushed Ye Xiao aside with a look of annoyance: “Go, go, go, none of your business.”
Ignoring Master Fei's antics!
Chu Yuan smiled lightly and said: “You just broke through to the Eighth Rank, shouldn't you go back into seclusion for a while?”
“Why rush out so quickly?”
Master Fei shrugged: “Breaking through to the Eighth Rank was simply a matter of time!”
“Why should I go into seclusion?”
Speaking of which!
Master Fei took a deep breath of fresh air:
“Getting old, I can't sit still, I can't stay in seclusion for too long, I need to be let out for a walk.”
As soon as he finished speaking!
Master Fei realized there was a problem with his choice of words.
What does it mean to be let out for a walk?
I walk myself?
He was about to correct himself when he noticed the blind man's figure approaching.
“I want an explanation.”
“What?”
At this moment, Master Fei looked at Chu Yuan and Ye Xiao with a completely bewildered expression.
Unbeknownst to him!
Chu Yuan and Ye Xiao both waved their hands, unable to help.
The words were already spoken!
If he still didn't understand, it wouldn't be their fault.
……
……
At this moment!
The blind man came to Master Fei to demand an explanation!
Chu Yuan wasn't surprised either, after all, as the chief of the Third Division of the Inspectorate, the main purpose of his coming to Tanzhou was to teach Ye Xiao.
And since he came to Tanzhou!
Then.
It also meant that Tanzhou——
There would inevitably be spies from the Inspectorate coming along.
Whether they were secretly conveying messages to him or handling other matters for the Inspectorate.
This was an undeniable fact!
Now!
As soon as Master Fei went into seclusion, someone jumped out to assassinate him.
Was this a coincidence?
Or was someone trying to test something?
The blind man didn't care, he only knew that this incident had already affected Ye Xiao's growth and the peace of Nanhai County.
Therefore!
As the second-in-command of the Inspectorate, Master Fei had to give an explanation.
Fortunately, though!
Although Master Fei was baffled, Ye Xiao, as his disciple, still explained the recent assassination attempt.
After listening, Master Fei remained silent for a long time.
“You're saying…”
“During the time I was in seclusion, there were Eighth Rank masters who came to assassinate me?!”
After a long pause!
Master Fei finally said in a deep voice. Even he couldn't process such news for a while.
Could it be…
Because of the letter he sent last time?
The blind man didn't bother with Master Fei's question, he just looked at him quietly.
At this time.
Master Fei also rarely said seriously: “Fifth Lord, don't worry!”
“If this incident was indeed caused by my arrival and resulted in an assassination attempt, I will naturally give you an explanation!”
“Moreover, not only Fifth Lord, but I also have to give an explanation to the Dean.”
Upon hearing this!
Ye Xiao, who was standing beside him, had a glimmer of ripples in his eyes.
He was very clear.
At this moment, the point of contention between these two closest people was naturally his safety.
Now!
Hearing Master Fei's murderous words, a sense of warmth welled up in Ye Xiao's heart.
“Remember your words!”
The blind man finished speaking and turned to leave.
……
……
“Phew…”
Seeing the blind man leave, Master Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't get me wrong, although he had broken through to the Eighth Rank and was a master of poison, thinking about the rumors about the ruthlessness of the blind young man in front of him.
He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy!
Not to mention!
This assassination attempt, his instinct told him that it was most likely related to the letter he had sent.
After all, there was no such coincidence in the world!
Before he came to Nanhai County, everything about Ye Xiao was peaceful, before he wrote the letter, everything in Nanhai County was calm and peaceful.
Combining all these factors!
Even if it wasn't Master Fei, a fool could see it.
“You were there during the assassination, right!?”
Master Fei turned his gaze to Chu Yuan. He suddenly felt that this scholar, although a bit scheming, was much easier to get along with than a certain blind man.
At this moment.
Chu Yuan had yet to speak when Ye Xiao stuck his head out:
“Teacher, I was there too!”
Master Fei covered Ye Xiao's face with a large hand and pushed him away: “Go, go, go, adults are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt.”
“Did you kill him? Where is he? Take me to see him, I specialize in anatomy!”
“No, he did it, I collected the body!”
“I don't care about those, as long as you were the one who dealt with the body in the end!”
“I didn't deal with the body, I just burned it directly, I even scattered the ashes.”
Master Fei was indeed shocked.
He wasn't surprised that Chu Yuan, as a scholar, would actually play the whole crematorium routine.
But he was shocked that such a good body!
Just…
Gone!
At that moment, Master Fei was a little crazy: “You burned it? You actually burned it?!”
“An Eighth Rank master's body, it would have been good to keep it for me to use for Ye Xiao's human anatomy class. You actually burned it?!”
Chu Yuan was speechless: “Next time, I will!”
Master Fei was heartbroken!
It was the body of an Eighth Rank master, even if you couldn't find out his origin!
Keeping the body.
It would have been a good contribution to his biological anatomy studies.
You know what!
He's spent the last half year dragging Ye Xiao around graveyards.
But the bodies there had been buried for a long time, they weren't fresh enough, and the value of the class was still lacking.
Regret!
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have gone into seclusion.
