Chapter 326 - 326 326 The Hard-to-Accept Truth

Chapter 326: Chapter 326 The Hard-to-Accept Truth Chapter 326: Chapter 326 The Hard-to-Accept Truth Ying Youque’s feelings right now were simply indescribable with words.

It’s too outrageous!

Unacceptable!

Mu Xi just died in front of him, not a bone left intact!

Ying Youque didn’t remember how many years it had been since he last felt such a sense of death bearing down upon him.

But today, he experienced that suffocating feeling once again.

He had no doubt that if he had continued to stand off with Fang Ruoyu for just a moment longer, he would have been killed by Fang Ruoyu just the same.

“Damn it,” Ying Youque roared in his heart.

“Elder Ying Youque?”

Ying Youque strode directly into the room.

Inside, an elder in a green robe lifted his eyebrows in surprise at Ying Youque’s entrance.

The elder in the green robe was none other than the Chief Master of Dao Yi Academy, Dean Wen Guang!

“Dean!” Despite his unsettled emotions, Ying Youque still bowed respectfully to Dean Wen Guang.

“Elder Ying Youque, what has happened?” Wen Guang asked with a slight frown.

He knew that if it weren’t for something serious, Ying Youque would never have barged into his room like this.

“Dean, Fang Ruoyu killed Elder Mu Xi,” Ying Youque said with a grief-stricken voice.

“What?” Wen Guang was taken aback, abruptly standing up.

“What happened?” Wen Guang immediately inquired.

Then, Ying Youque gave a brief recount of the events.

“Dean, I really don’t understand why you let Fang Ruoyu join Dao Yi Academy and even let her hold the position of Vice Chancellor.

That wench is just too cruel.

Elder Mu Xi did nothing wrong, yet she killed him just like that.

Dean, what should we do about Fang Ruoyu now?” Ying Youque’s voice was low and filled with hatred.

Clearly, Ying Youque was hoping that Dean Wen Guang would personally deal with Fang Ruoyu.

“Hiss~” Dean Wen Guang took a deep breath and began pacing the room.

Ying Youque’s brows knitted together.

He sensed something was off.

Dean Wen Guang hadn’t responded to the matter right away, which was different from what he had expected.

In his view, Dean Wen Guang should have immediately issued orders to prepare to take action against Fang Ruoyu—at the very least, to remove Fang Ruoyu from her position and arrest her for trial!

“Dean?” Ying Youque didn’t know what to make of the situation.

“Elder Ying Youque, from now on, you must never go against Vice Chancellor Fang Ruoyu.

As long as you don’t provoke her, she won’t trouble you,” Wen Guang said after pondering for a while.

“What?” Ying Youque could hardly believe his ears.

He had been waiting for Dean Wen Guang to act against Fang Ruoyu, but the response he received was this statement.

“Dean, what are you thinking?

Fang Ruoyu has killed a Lower Elder of our Dao Yi Academy.

Fang Ruoyu has only been with Dao Yi Academy for a month, whereas Elder Mu Xi has been with us for over fifty years!” Ying Youque cried out sorrowfully.

Wen Guang raised his hand and gently waved it.

“Elder Ying Youque, I can’t handle this matter.

Even if I wanted to, I’m powerless!” Dean Wen Guang said helplessly.

“Why is that?” Ying Youque’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Why?” Wen Guang gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said, “Even if all of us from Dao Yi Academy combined forces, we couldn’t stand a chance against Fang Ruoyu.”

“Ah?” Ying Youque’s eyes almost bulged out.

“Sigh…” Wen Guang sighed, “Fang Ruoyu, more than a month ago, came to Dao Yi Academy to see me, saying she wanted to join.

At the time, she didn’t reveal any information about her background.

Do you think I would agree to let just anyone who comes to Dao Yi Academy assume the role of Vice Chancellor?

Moreover, I didn’t have the slightest grasp of her origins!”

“Then why did you let her become Vice Chancellor?” Ying Youque was puzzled.

At that time, it was Wen Guang who, against many objections, directly appointed Fang Ruoyu as Vice Chancellor.

Many people opposed it, but they couldn’t change Wen Guang’s mind.

“I didn’t want to, but…” Wen Guang hesitated, brooding for a while, as if he had made a decision, “I couldn’t even withstand her three palms!

And when she made her move, I could feel that she wasn’t going all out.

She just casually struck three palms, and I couldn’t handle any.

After that, she simply said a word—if I didn’t agree to her becoming Dao Yi Academy’s Vice Chancellor, she would become the Dean of Dao Yi Academy herself!”

Wen Guang shook his head with a wry smile.

He hadn’t told anyone about this incident.

If it wasn’t for today needing to give Ying Youque an explanation, he wouldn’t have said it.

After all, it was a very embarrassing matter.

He was the Dean of Dao Yi Academy, a figure of high authority throughout Lanqu County City.

Even in front of the Commandery Prince, he didn’t need to humble himself.

But facing Fang Ruoyu, he couldn’t even withstand three palms.

Wen Guang didn’t want to disclose this.

But if he didn’t clarify things to Ying Youque, Ying Youque might not let the matter rest.

If he went on to provoke Fang Ruoyu, that monster, Fang Ruoyu would likely just extinguish Ying Youque as well.

In the room, there was nothing but the sound of Ying Youque’s heavy breathing.

He stared blankly at Wen Guang.

Dean Wen Guang’s words were hard for him to accept, yet he clearly knew that Wen Guang wouldn’t lie.

That meant, Wen Guang truly couldn’t withstand three of Fang Ruoyu’s palms.

It was completely inconceivable!

Within Lanqu County City, even the strongest Commandery Prince wouldn’t be so much stronger than Wen Guang, right?

The Commandery Prince might be stronger than Dean Wen Guang, but it definitely wouldn’t be simple to kill Dean Wen Guang.

And from Wen Guang’s perspective, Fang Ruoyu could kill him effortlessly!

Ying Youque understood that if Wen Guang hadn’t agreed to Fang Ruoyu’s demands back then, Fang Ruoyu might have just killed him on the spot and taken over as Dean of Dao Yi Academy herself.

If anyone in Dao Yi Academy disagreed, Fang Ruoyu might just kill them too.

Even if Wen Guang sought aid from the Prince Manor, it wouldn’t be of any use.

Fang Ruoyu’s strength was already formidable enough to completely disdain any martial artist in Lanqu County City.

If the Prince Manor were to intervene, Fang Ruoyu might just straight up attack the Prince Manor as well.

Fang Ruoyu’s methods, evident by her direct killing of Mu Xi, showed that when she decided to kill someone, there would be no pressure whatsoever.

After a short while, Ying Youque walked out from the residence of Dean Wen Guang, somewhat in a daze.

He realized that seeking to get back at Fang Ruoyu for the humiliation was something he had no hope of achieving in this lifetime.

As for Jing Yan, from now on, no matter what Jing Yan did, he no longer wished to get involved.

With a monster like Fang Ruoyu protecting him, who would dare to attack him?

But who on earth was this Fang Ruoyu?

Within the territory of Lanqu County City, there most certainly were no martial artists as powerful as she was!
