When Kuang Chu saw that Leng Rouyin had really left, he glanced back at Qiao Jun's corpse, then took out his Listening Wind Ruler and called for someone to take the body to the Legalists.
After returning, Leng Rouyin used her Listening Wind Ruler to send a message to the other Sages, explaining that Lan Poison had been found in the dormitory.
The Communication Institute's restrictions on messages sent through Listening Wind Rulers applied to everyone else, but not to the Sages' rulers.
The Sages who received the message exchanged glances, each wearing a different expression.
Taiyi had discovered a disciple who was Absorbing Lan Poison. The two incidents—the Lan Poison and the Lan Shi—together sent a chill down one's spine.
At the Communication Institute, Zou Qian yawned and sighed. "Looks like I won't be sleeping tonight."
Leng Rouyin ordered people to remove and inspect everything in Qiao Jun's room, investigate the disciples who had been close to him, and check the places he often visited.
The disciples on the same floor as Qiao Jun were in for a rough night. The matter of the Milky Way Water hadn't even been settled, and now there was a search for Lan Poison.
Ou Rushuang continued broadcasting to the whole institute: "The School of Names disciple Qiao Jun was Absorbing Lan Poison. After being discovered, he showed no remorse and tried to flee. He died during the capture."
This announcement shocked the disciples even more than the news that Milky Way Water had been hidden in the dormitory.
The disciples finally realized what the commotion had been about. As the Sages released their announcements, the whispers in the corridors gradually swelled into a clamor.
Wei Ren hid in a corner and lowered his voice. "Was this part of your plan too?"
