Chapter 241: A New Choice

Hooo!

Gu Tianchen took a deep breath: "This matter is of great importance; I will contact Dean Dongfang now."

He immediately took out a communication bead to contact Dongfang Shu.

Over here, other members of the Law Enforcement Team were reporting to their superiors.

Since the founding of Changheng Academy, it had never happened before that a student who had not yet entered the Academy killed and beat members of the Law Enforcement Team, crippled one Captain, and killed another Captain; this was the first time.

This matter concerned the reputation of Changheng Academy, so the Academy would certainly handle it with caution.

Most importantly, seven students from the Seven Stars Sect had also been poisoned.

After finishing telling Dongfang Shu about what had happened here, Gu Tianchen began to examine the injuries of the seven disciples of the Seven Stars Sect.

After the examination, his expression changed drastically.

He knew the seven of them had definitely been poisoned, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of poison.

As a Law Enforcement Captain, he often handled incidents involving conflict and injury, and cases of poisoning were not rare.

Yet he had never seen this kind of poison, and it was unsolvable.

Was this Lu Tianyu trying to take the lives of these people?

Thinking of this, Gu Tianchen's heart was suddenly filled with panic.

The Seven Stars Sect also had a Vice Dean, Guan Jiande; if he found out, the trouble would be huge.

Lu Tianyu had directly offended the Seven Stars Sect.

And look, the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect must have sent word to Guan Jiande long ago.

What was to be done?

To put it bluntly, he was just a small Law Enforcement Captain and could not handle such a big matter at all.

For now, all he could do was wait.

Lu Tianyu walked to the front of the temporary team and scanned them all.

Their faces were filled with worry.

Many of them did not dare to look him in the eyes.

He cupped his hands toward them: "You all saw it just now; I will bear all the consequences alone, it has nothing to do with you."

"I have already offended Tian Vice Dean, Murong Vice Dean, and the Seven Stars Sect."

"If you follow me, you will definitely be targeted by others; you had better not form a team with me anymore."

He had not wanted to form a team with anyone in the first place.

Now that such a major event had occurred, he had the perfect excuse to make these people stay away from him.

However, Guo Zhuying stepped forward: "Lu Tianyu, you are overthinking it; I will not leave you, I am sticking with you!"

Her expression was firm.

As soon as she finished speaking, a man's voice scolded sharply: "Zhuying, at a time like this, you still dare to defend that brat? Is he really that important in your heart?"

"Hurry and leave with me, a great disaster is imminent now!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Guo Zhuying's arm.

As a suitor of Guo Zhuying, he could not bear to watch her get implicated.

He thought this was a perfect opportunity.

Later, Guo Zhuying would surely understand his good intentions and would definitely be grateful to him, thereby staying away from Lu Tianyu.

He knew Guo Zhuying was a proud woman who cared deeply about face.

Slap!

Unexpectedly, Guo Zhuying directly swatted his hand away: "Don't bother with me!"

"The decision I made has nothing to do with you, and I ask that you do not follow me in the future!"

"You!" Zhao Zhongzhu said angrily, "Can't you see that this hotheaded fool has offended everyone just to vent his momentary anger?"

"This brat definitely won't have a chance to enter the Yaoshou Senlin; the several Vice Deans will join forces to kill him!"

"If you stand with him, do you not want to live?"

"How can you face your parents like this?"

He still had not given up.

At the mention of her parents, Guo Zhuying was slightly startled, and a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes.

However, she quickly returned to normal: "Zhao Zhongzhu, I will say this one last time!"

"My affairs do not need your interference; if something happens to me, it has nothing to do with you, so please stay further away from me!"

If she were not from the same sect as Zhao Zhongzhu, she would have told him to get lost long ago: "If you pester me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Guo Zhuying had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Zhongzhu's pestering, but she had chosen to ignore it out of consideration for their shared sect.

Now that she had encountered such a situation and Zhao Zhongzhu was still pestering her, she was somewhat angry.

Zhao Zhongzhu sneered: "Fine, fine, fine; for that brat, you aren't even afraid of death."

"Since you want to die with him, then I will grant your wish."

Saying this, he turned and walked to the side.

Having pursued Guo Zhuying for so long, using all sorts of pestering tactics, this was the result he got in return.

Zhao Zhongzhu felt he had pursued the wrong person.

If such a person died, then so be it; he would not need to pursue her anymore.

Lu Tianyu sighed softly: "Are you not afraid that I will implicate you?"

Guo Zhuying spoke without hesitation: "I'm not!"

"If we are to die, we die together!"

Lu Tianyu said helplessly: "Alright then! Rest assured, I will be fine."

He looked at the people from the Heavenly Secret Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect: "You all had better get away from me quickly."

Murong Xue gritted her teeth and stepped forward: "What kind of person do you take me, Murong Xue, for!"

"You are my savior; if you hadn't acted, I would be dead by now."

"How could I abandon you!"

Her expression was resolute.

But the Sword Sect disciples behind her were not pleased.

Xing Jiangyi said anxiously: "Senior Sister, staying here is just waiting for death!"

"It is true that he is your savior, but we must avoid a situation that is certain death!"

"It would be fine if it were just you, but there are over a dozen of us Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples here!"

"If your parents saw you like this, they would certainly stop you, and your master would certainly stop you too."

"Please do not be willful, follow me and leave quickly!"

As soon as Xing Jiangyi finished speaking, someone chimed in: "That's right, Senior Sister, keeping one's life is important. At worst, we can just repay his sect in the future; why wait here for death?"

A dozen people spoke up one after another to persuade her, their expressions extremely anxious: "Yes, yes, Senior Sister, you must think this through clearly!"

They felt that Murong Xue was being a bit foolish at this moment.

Anyone with a bit of brains would leave, knowing this person was going to die, so why follow him to the end?

So what if he is a savior?

One's own life is still the most important.

Murong Xue shook her head firmly: "No!"

"It is true that I am a Senior Sister of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but from now on, I only represent myself, not the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and I cannot represent you all either!"

"Xing Jiangyi, if you all want to leave, hurry off to somewhere else."

"Rest assured, even if I am captured, I will not implicate you; it will have nothing to do with you."

There was one more thing she did not say.

Before they set out, Jian Wuya had instructed her to support Lu Tianyu no matter the circumstances.

For one, she was following her master's instructions, and for another, she felt that Lu Tianyu was not someone who acted recklessly; once he acted, he surely had the certainty to clean up the mess.

Lu Tianyu was someone she could not see through, and his hidden cards exceeded her imagination.

"Senior Sister! You are truly beyond saving!"

Xing Jiangyi was enraged: "Murong Xue!"

"If you are willing to go to your death, I will grant your wish!"

Saying this, he waved his sleeve and led the dozen or so people away from here, watching from afar.

He felt that Murong Xue was too naive.

It would be fine if she died; then he would become the leading figure of the younger generation of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
