Chapter 1283: Reporting to the authorities

The Jixia Academy was full of talent, and sure enough, they found Master Qi's corpse at a funeral shop.

Looking at the decapitated Master Qi who couldn't be more dead, the people from the academy: there was anger, there was sighing, there was sadness, but there was no hatred!

Master Qi killed his disciples as soon as he came out of seclusion; it was clearly falling into demonic cultivation. Death was a matter of time. It's just that he didn't explode and die, but was beheaded by someone.

They took the corpse back. What to do next all depended on the decision of the academy's upper echelon.

Should they take revenge?

Was the enemy Chen Guanlou?

The academy was in chaos, and the funeral shop sent someone to report to Chen Guanlou in a hurry.

"The corpse was taken back? If they took it, let them take it; no need to worry."

"My lord, that is the Jixia Academy."

Chen Guanlou smiled; he knew the other party was worried about him, and he accepted the good intentions.

"So what if it's the Jixia Academy? Does Master Qi's death have anything to do with me? At most, I helped collect the corpse. If the academy insists on finding trouble with me, I don't mind fighting my way to the academy. This is the capital, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, the best place, not the academy's one-word hall."

Since things had reached this point, the person who came couldn't persuade him much more.

Medical Official Mu asked secretly: "My lord, did you really kill Master Qi?"

"That old madman, he fell into demonic cultivation during seclusion and wanted to drag me down with him before he died. If I didn't kill him, wouldn't it make me look weak and easy to bully?" Facing Medical Official Mu, Chen Guanlou didn't hide it.

Medical Official Mu said "Ah," appearing exceptionally surprised.

"In that case, my lord's cultivation has improved again, to be able to kill Master Qi."

"Slightly improved!" Chen Guanlou showed off a little. "It mainly lies in the fact that Master Qi wasn't good enough; he stopped moving forward these past few years, and he, the front wave, had to be slapped to death on the beach by me, the back wave."

"Everyone says Master Qi had exceptional talent and ascended to a Ninth-Rank martial artist at a young age. Listening to my lord's meaning, Master Qi was just so-so?"

Chen Guanlou laughed. "Old Mu, why do you think Ninth-Rank martial artists are common in this world, but Grandmasters are extremely rare? It's because to break through to Grandmaster, martial arts cultivation alone is not enough."

"My understanding is that breaking through to Grandmaster is more of a breakthrough in the state of mind, an understanding of the martial path, and a mysterious induction. Only when a person comprehends the essence can they find the correct path. Master Qi was famous young and was extremely conceited, a frog in a well looking at the sky. Even if I gave him another hundred years, he wouldn't be able to break through."

"Is my lord about to break through?" Medical Official Mu speculated. To have so many insights into breaking through to Grandmaster, he must have been thinking about it for a long time.

Chen Guanlou laughed. "Old Mu, you think too highly of me. I'm just idle with nothing to do, liking to ponder. I'm still far from breaking through."

"Why is my lord so modest? My lord, don't worry, this old man won't say a word."

He wasn't worried that Medical Official Mu had a loose mouth; he just simply didn't want to be high-profile.

Ninth-Rank martial artists didn't attract much attention; after all, there were many Ninth-Rank martial artists in the capital. There were even more in the palace.

Once he broke through to Grandmaster, heh, if nothing unexpected happened, the palace would definitely take action.

He just wanted to break through quietly and silently, without attracting anyone's attention.

He was waiting for the Jixia Academy to come to his door, but he didn't expect the other party to report to the authorities directly, accusing him of murdering Master Qi.

How unreasonable!

According to the rules of the martial arts world, private fights, life and death are up to Heaven, and one must never alert the government.

The Jixia Academy was the first to break the rules and should be condemned by the martial arts world.

He hired a writer to write a manifesto of condemnation and distributed it throughout the city. He also posted big-character posters at all the major city gates, including the Jixia Academy gate.

For a time, the entire capital's people were attracted by this matter.

Mayor Ge: Headache!

The Jixia Academy ran to the Capital Mayor's office to sue Chen Guanlou, and Chen Guanlou backhanded a manifesto of condemnation; this mess... Mayor Ge wished he could be an ostrich, bury his head, and not listen, look, or deal with it.

"That thief surnamed Chen is bullying people too much. He killed Master Qi, and we didn't kill our way to his door, just reported to the authorities, which is already very polite. He actually wrote a manifesto of condemnation; who does he think he is."

"A mere Ninth-Rank martial artist, why fear him. At worst, just kill him."

"Exactly! Our Jixia Academy is full of talent; are we afraid of him?"

Everyone was talking at once, all indignant.

In fact, they didn't want to report to the authorities either, just wanting to settle their grievances and kill their way to his door directly. Martial arts matters should be settled in the martial arts world; why report to the authorities? Look, now they were being condemned by a manifesto, and big-character posters were posted, leaving no face, trampling the academy underfoot.

They couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill directly to the Heavenly Prison; they didn't believe Chen Guanlou could fight one against a hundred.

"Shut up, all of you! This matter was decided by the Academy Head; do you dare to question the Academy Head?"

"But Chen Guanlou is bullying us too much. If we don't retaliate, wouldn't it make our academy disciples look incompetent!"

"We want to see the Academy Head, ask the Academy Head to take back the order; martial arts matters should be settled in the martial arts world!"

"Martial arts matters should be settled in the martial arts world!"

"Settled what? Is it not chaotic enough?"

These students only knew how to be brave for a moment, not knowing how to start from the overall situation. The academy's situation was not good; Emperor Jian Shi was not like the late Emperor, clearly holding prejudice against the academy.

The academy now had to be low-key in everything, had to abide by the law, and absolutely could not do "knights using martial arts to violate prohibitions."

Reporting to the authorities, this matter had passed the bright road, which was the right path. No one could pick out any faults.

As for Chen Guanlou posting big-character posters and playing with manifestos of condemnation, it was useless. It was nothing more than adding a piece of gossip for the people of the capital.

Chen Guanlou received the people from the Capital Mayor's office in the Heavenly Prison, and the visitors notified him to go to court.

"Go to what court? The Jixia Academy sues me for killing Master Qi; what evidence is there? The funeral shop? Heh, may I ask if the people at the funeral shop saw the person who discarded the corpse? Since there isn't, why say I killed the person? What's going on, your Capital Mayor's office doesn't care about evidence anymore, directly calling people to court?"

Chen Guanlou smiled that smile that wasn't quite a smile, clearly not cooperating.

Without evidence, he wouldn't cooperate at all!

He was at least a person from the Ministry of Justice; he didn't believe the Capital Mayor's office dared to bypass the Ministry of Justice and run to the Heavenly Prison to arrest people.

"Please, Prison Warden Chen, don't make it difficult for us."

"I'm not making it difficult for you. Go back and tell Mayor Ge, if there's no evidence, don't think about calling me to court; tell him to roll far away, this official won't serve him. When there is evidence, I will go to court. Also, I want to sue the Jixia Academy for slandering me, defaming me, and destroying my reputation. Someone, write a complaint for me; just ask the brothers from the Capital Mayor's office to take it back for Mayor Ge to see."

Write it as soon as he said it.

Mu Qingshan's mouth wasn't good, but his writing was still okay.

He wrote on the spot, and a complaint was born. Chen Guanlou threw the complaint to the people from the Capital Mayor's office. "Trouble you, take it back to Mayor Ge. He is the parent official of the capital; I have suffered a great injustice, and I hope he can preside over justice for me."

The people from the Capital Mayor's office were all stunned; things could be operated like this.

This...

"What are you still stunned for, hurry back!" Chen Guanlou urged with a smile. ===== CHAPTER 1284 =====
