93: Chapter 93 Meng Guidu, could he have died at his hands...?

The guard from the City Lord's Manor in Yongle City had already spoken to this extent.

No matter how much everyone doubted it in their hearts, they all believed it to some degree.

The Yan Family had always acted with overbearing arrogance.

Outside, who would dare to gossip about the Yan Family?

Since someone dared to say Yan Chenzhou lost the competition, it proved that it was a fact.

The guard continued to talk about the situation inside the Tian-grade Talent Conference.

The crowd had little interest in the subsequent events.

As for Ruan Xingqiao, she was even less in the mood to keep listening.

Her mind was in a state of panic, and within that panic, there was a trace of terror.

Elder Lei, who had been quite supportive of her before, also had a significant change in attitude after hearing this.

The four from Qianqiu Mountain left before the guard finished speaking.

Once they left the private room of the restaurant, Elder Lei immediately began to scold her.

“When did you provoke such a character?”

“A young man who can even defeat Bai Zhaowei—what on earth are you doing?”

“Do you think just because people pamper you at Qianqiu Mountain, you're something special?”

Elder Lei seemed truly angry.

Just from the guard's description, he already felt that something was very wrong.

The influence behind a young man with such strength would be terrifying.

The conflict between Ruan Xingqiao and this young man was not just a minor one.

She had tried to take Li Yuan's life multiple times; Elder Lei knew this.

This kind of enmity could not be resolved easily.

“Your younger generation doesn't have a single pillar to stand on.”

“Just wait and see; on the day you take over, Qianqiu Mountain might even be wiped out!”

After throwing out those words, Elder Lei left first, not wanting to deal with Ruan Xingqiao anymore.

Meanwhile, Ruan Xingqiao's heart had already begun to contemplate some ruthless moves.

At this moment, Ruan Xingqiao also realized she had provoked a figure she absolutely should not have.

An idea suddenly popped into her mind.

Ruan Xingqiao looked at Zhu Yan beside her and spoke numbly, “Junior Sister, do you think there's a possibility...”

“That Senior Brother Meng died at his hands...”

As Ruan Xingqiao's voice fell, Zhu Yan was momentarily stunned.

If it were before, she would never have believed such a possibility.

What ability would a mere soldier from Yingyang Pass, a follower of Liu Weihe, have to strike at Meng Guidu?

But looking back today, it seemed perfectly reasonable.

Ruan Xingqiao's personal maid had invited Li Yuan out.

That time, the one who should have died was Li Yuan.

But in the end, it was her personal maid and Meng Guidu who disappeared and lost their lives.

If Li Yuan had been hiding his strength...

Then Meng Guidu's death might have been directly caused by Li Yuan!

“Senior Sister Ruan, if Meng Guidu really died at Li Yuan's hands...”

“Then it only proves that he not only has strength and ability but is also very ruthless...”

As Zhu Yan spoke, a trace of fear grew in her heart.

She understood now that Li Yuan really would take action to kill them.

Zhu Yan subconsciously moved a bit further away from Ruan Xingqiao.

She didn't want to bring disaster and trouble upon herself because of Ruan Xingqiao.

On the other side, after Yan Chenzhou came out of the City Lord's Manor, he immediately leaped away.

Li Yuan chased after him, calling out to him several times.

Asking when he would come to help him with the Drug Trial and why he wasn't returning to Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy with him.

Yan Chenzhou naturally heard these words, but he feigned deafness and pushed his movement technique to its limit.

He simply fled like that.

Thinking back on his earlier words about definitely helping Li Yuan with the Drug Trial and never breaking his word, it was laughable.

If he won, he would never break his word.

If he, Yan Chenzhou, lost, then he would definitely break his word.

Yan Chenzhou's behavior was completely within Li Yuan's expectations.

The younger generation who received the Tian-grade invitations should have also guessed this.

The majority of people from these great powers said one thing but did another.

Perhaps there truly were people whose actions matched their words.

But that person would not be Yan Chenzhou.

Seeing him flee, Li Yuan called out to Bai Zhaowei.

She had also spoken with such certainty at the time, saying that if Yan Chenzhou lost, she would help Li Yuan invite Yan Chenzhou for the Drug Trial.

Now, seeing Yan Chenzhou flee like this, she chose to remain silent.

Li Yuan exposed all of this completely in front of everyone.

It was to damage their reputation and prestige, to damage their Face.

Coming out from the City Lord's Manor, Li Yuan returned directly to the restaurant.

Outside the City Lord's Manor, many people had heard news of Li Yuan and wanted to see what he looked like.

But they did not get the chance.

At the same time, the Instructors arranged by Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy to accompany them were also there.

They had originally been waiting outside the City Lord's Manor.

They didn't see Li Yuan come out, but they heard a lot of news about him.

Before the World Talents Convention began, these Instructors only hoped Li Yuan would perform well.

They didn't want him to lose Face for the Martial Arts Academy inside the Tian-grade Talent Conference.

Hearing what others were saying now, the Instructors subconsciously felt they were being fooled.

Li Yuan's performance was indeed good, and winning against Yan Chenyao on the Zhai Tian Terrace was very impressive.

But today was the Tian-grade Talent Conference; Li Yuan was competing against the top Prodigies and had to truly exchange blows with the successor of the Willow Immortal.

“You are from Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, so how can you not even believe in your own Disciple?”

“If you think what I just said is false, you can go back and ask Li Yuan.”

“Ask him if he defeated Bai Zhaowei.”

“Besides, doesn't he have followers with him as well?”

The Instructors were rebuked, and after exchanging glances, they immediately returned to the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, they saw that Liang Duqiu and the others had already returned.

They didn't disturb Li Yuan but found the others to ask.

Only after asking did they learn that Li Yuan truly had defeated Bai Zhaowei.

After Li Yuan and Bai Zhaowei's clash, Yan Chenzhou had even lost the courage to fight Li Yuan.

“What 'Willow Immortal Successor'? It's all just talk to scare people.”

“If anyone is truly the successor of an immortal or god, it should be our Junior Brother Li.”

“His talent and potential are what truly deserve the title of an immortal's successor.”

The Instructors became excited upon hearing these words.

Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy once had a very grand history; in the past, it was even a Holy Land within the Da Shun Dynasty.

But nowadays, when the Martial Arts Academy was mentioned, people only talked about how many Secret Realms were under its command.

In fact, the direct control of these Secret Realms belonged to the Dashun Imperial Court, not the Martial Arts Academy.

It was only on the surface that they gave Face to the Academy and spoke that way.

Li Yuan's appearance might reshape the glory of the Martial Arts Academy.

After the Instructors finished listening, they did not go to disturb Li Yuan.

They even ordered others not to disturb him.

From this day on, the Martial Arts Academy had to place even greater importance on Li Yuan.

And regarding the Yan Family, the Academy really had to think of a way.

In the eyes of the Academy's members, Li Yuan also possessed the New Wood Physique.

Just like Yan Chenzhou, Li Yuan also very much needed a Drug Trial to determine the degree of medicinal properties to add.

Since Li Yuan was more outstanding than Yan Chenzhou, then according to the Yan family member's own logic, it should be Yan Chenzhou who goes to perform the Drug Trial for Li Yuan!
