During the day, the Qingyang Emperor had been enraged to learn that the Taiyi Lan Poison incident implicated the Qingyang Imperial Orchid Division in colluding with Xuan Kui. He had cursed Sixth Highness and the people of the Imperial Orchid Division until they were covered in spit. The others either watched the commotion or prayed they wouldn't get dragged into it.
The Taiyi Saints at the Five Elements Academy knew a little more than the rest.
The message Wei Xizhen had sent them clearly stated that Ou Rushuang was being protected by Geothermal Core Power while on the brink of death.
Without Geothermal Core Power, Ou Rushuang would have been as good as dead.
What troubled the Sages wasn't whether Ou Rushuang would die. It was that their students were connected to Lan Poison too.
Some students had been incited by Xuan Kui's people to use Lan Poison to improve their cultivation; others were Lan Shi created by Xuan Kui.
Nian Qiuyan's message reached Chang Sunzi. It didn't confirm that he was one of Xuan Kui's people, but it still left her uneasy.
Had he been tricked by Ou Rushuang? Chang Sunzi knew exactly what her own disciple was like.
Nian Qiuyan couldn't have been stupid enough to be deceived by Ou Rushuang without realizing that the Mirage Scenery was a Lan Poison production site.
Chang Sunzi was worried about her disciple and no longer felt like going to General Zhongli's Mansion. But before long, she heard that the young lady of the General's Mansion had been attacked outside the city and had fallen off a cliff, her life or death unknown.
Only then did she learn that Zhongli Que was a Normal Practitioner.
"Isn't her father one of the Three War Gods of the Military School?" Chang Sunzi asked.
