Chapter 101: Deadlock

Ximeng was dead.

He died in the bathtub, and at first, everyone thought he had drowned.

But when his body was dragged out, it was discovered that his body was covered in burn marks, a plastic bag was over his head, his tongue had been pulled out, and his body seemed to have been dissected; his internal organs were all thrown into the bathtub. In short, the state of his death was miserable. It was clear that the person who did it had tortured Ximeng in some way and finally abused him to death.

When A Jin arrived and saw it, he leaned against the door and vomited. Ximeng's family was angry and grief-stricken. Their Skunk Clan had spent years cultivating a child who could use illusion, not knowing how much effort it had cost. At this moment, Ximeng's father was crying and shouting for the school to take responsibility, claiming he would take it directly to the Federal Court.

"We already said we would accept the school's punishment, but it's clear that this student named Qiao, their family came and vented their anger privately, killing our child. Bring that student out! I want him to pay with his life!"

"Yes, hand that student over!"

"The Ausilan royal family is amazing? I'm going to sue the Federation and see if the Federation cares!"

When Anubis and Li Yi found Doctor Li A'rang, more than a dozen people from Ximeng's family were blocking the door of Doctor Li A'rang's office, refusing to leave and demanding justice.

Doctor Li felt helpless; he put his hands behind his back and sneered at everyone, "Go ahead and report it if you want. If you do, you'll be burying the entire family along with it."

"What are you saying?" The people of the Ximeng family were furious.

"I'm saying you're unlucky. Ximeng abused his talent; although it was out of a desire to win, his illusion was far from being able to be controlled freely. Do you know how high the fatality rate of illusion is? If it weren't for her quick reaction, the physical damage caused by the illusion would have resulted in irreversible consequences."

"So what? Now the one who died is my child, not him!"

"That's right, is it wrong for us to seek justice?"

Ximeng's father stood out and said: "How about this, you hand over that student, and we won't bother the school anymore."

Before Doctor Li A'rang could speak, Li Yi couldn't hold back his anger and shouted from outside the crowd: "Why!"

He pushed aside a few people, rushed to Doctor Li A'rang, and shouted at the crowd: "What did Qiao do wrong? It was Ximeng who designed to trap him in the library and burned him with magma! I went to the library to see, the soil on the ground won't lie to me. Although the illusion was withdrawn, that piece of land won't be usable for a hundred years. The damage caused by the illusion is real, and it could block the entire space, so Qiao couldn't even call for help. He just wanted to bully Qiao, but he was repaired because his skills weren't as good. And what evidence do you have that Qiao had someone kill Ximeng? What does this have to do with him? You are making false accusations!"

Anubis also looked around at the crowd coldly, and after receiving a warning look from Doctor Li A'rang, he slowly lowered his head.

Doctor Li A'rang said: "I can understand your feelings. The school will arrange Ximeng's funeral and pay some compensation. Everyone, please disperse. Believe me, pursuing this will be detrimental to your entire family."

Ximeng's family couldn't listen at all, only feeling that Doctor Li A'rang was trying to smooth things over, so they left angrily. Before leaving, Ximeng's father left a bitter sentence: "I will definitely make that student named Qiao pay the price!"

A Jin dismissed the crowd and closed the door for Doctor Li A'rang. At this time, only the three of them, including Anubis, were left in the Dean's office.

Doctor Li A'rang sighed: "What do you two have to do?"

Anubis asked: "Where is Qiao?"

Doctor Li A'rang squinted at him, not knowing what he was thinking. Li Yi was a hot-tempered person, and seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, he hurriedly asked: "Dean, just tell us, the two of us didn't sleep all night worrying yesterday."

"She is very safe now, but she won't be coming to school in the short term."

Anubis asked again: "Is he hurt?"

Doctor Li A'rang, who was usually amiable, stiffened his face and said: "This is not something you should be concerned about."

Anubis knew the deep meaning in his words, and his eyes dimmed. Li Yi muttered from the side: "We're all classmates, what's wrong with caring?"

"Alright, Li Yi, go back first. I want to have a word with Bi alone."

"Oh." Li Yi left reluctantly, and before leaving, he winked at Anubis, telling him to pray for his own luck.

After the person left, Doctor Li A'rang got up from the solid wood chair, walked over, and patted the youth's shoulder.

"Bi, since I was entrusted by your father, I will definitely take good care of you. You also know the responsibility on your shoulders. Uncle reminds you, don't be distracted because of other things or other people."

Anubis lowered his eyes and said faintly: "I won't."

Doctor Li A'rang felt a little relieved and asked: "How is your training now?"

"I can control it, I won't enter a rampage as frequently as before."

Doctor Li A'rang was very gratified, "Good, as long as your mind is stable, there is hope to overcome the rampage in your genes. Bi, you are the last hope of the Wolf Clan."

Anubis stood quietly, returning to his usual gloomy appearance. Perhaps this period of time had been too fulfilling and happy, giving him the illusion that this was his life.

Actually, nothing had changed.

Qiao Suisui's sudden departure pulled him out of this plain happiness.

He was still that Anubis Connor who had to keep his mission in mind at all times, not the Bi who lived a simple life at school accompanied by friends.

Ausilan, Huangting.

Qiao Suisui was settled in a brand-new palace, which Laiboli had prepared for her long ago, and everything inside was arranged according to the highest royal standards.

A servant pushed over a small cart, inside which six little deer were curled up together, cuddling. At this moment, it was their nap time.

Qiao Suisui touched the cute little deer cubs, sighing that returning here again, things were different.

The first time she came, she only wanted to leave this world as soon as possible, but now she had many inseparable attachments.

"Why are you in a daze?"

Laiboli's voice sounded from behind, Qiao Suisui turned her head, and the man had already walked over and hugged her from behind.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about how your negotiation with the Federation went?"

Laiboli paused for a while and said: "I won't let anyone take you away from me."

Qiao Suisui asked: "They want me to go back to Suote, right?"

Laiboli tucked her stray hair behind her ear and stroked her face gently. "I ceded one-quarter of Ausilan's territory to Suote, and they said they would consider the proposal to let you stay here."

"Ashi..." Qiao Suisui pinched his sleeve and said: "I don't agree. You have just become the new Empire Sun, and the relationship between Ausilan and Suote is already tense. You gave the territory to Suote; what will the residents of the Empire think of you? How will you convince the public in the future?"

Just as she was about to persuade him, she heard a guard report in a panic: "Sun, people from Suote are here, saying they want to see Miss Qiao."

Laiboli frowned, "Who?"

"He said his name is Zongfang."
