(Fifth update)
No one said much along the way, and the atmosphere felt somewhat oppressive.
Upon returning to Shrek Academy, Dean Flender immediately gathered everyone in the conference room.
Flender's expression was grave. He looked at Yang Ming and pondered for a moment before saying,
"If I'm not mistaken, the competition committee will send an investigation team to our academy within an hour to look into what happened in today's match. I need to understand the situation first. Yang Ming, are you sure you truly didn't use any ability on Feng Xiaotian?"
Yang Ming shook his head. "At the time, I had intended to use Gate of Babylon and hadn't activated any other abilities. Then Feng Xiaotian died, and his death was extremely strange."
Tang San hurriedly added, "Dean, I remember that before the match, Feng Xiaotian specifically came to see Yang Ming. He told Yang Ming to lead the team in surrender during the match, or he would regret it for the rest of his life. I think Feng Xiaotian must have known this would happen beforehand. This was all a conspiracy!"
Dean Flender furrowed his brows and pushed up his glasses. A flash of white light reflected off the lenses.
His fingers unconsciously tapped against the tabletop as he fell into deep thought.
"We can report this to the committee's investigation team later, but don't be too optimistic. If Feng Xiaotian's death really was a conspiracy targeting Yang Ming, I'm afraid it won't be so easily resolved."
"I'm considering whether Yang Ming should lie low for the time being and come back out after hiding for a while. Otherwise, if someone truly is pulling strings behind the scenes, then no matter how much you explain yourself, Yang Ming, something unforeseeable may still happen."
Yang Ming thought about it.
