It must have been Wei Fan!

"Feng Yi, who else from your Godwind Academy has been to Sunset Forest recently?"

Dugu Bo asked coldly.

He was certain this little bastard wasn't the herb thief. Anyone capable of passing through his poison barrier had to be at least a Soul Saint.

"Your Eminence, there really wasn't anyone else!"

"Only our Divine Wind Team has been to Sunset Forest recently."

Feng Yi answered honestly.

"Where are the herbs?"

A cold gleam flashed in Dugu Bo's snake-like eyes as he tried to pry something out of Feng Xiaotian.

"What herbs? I don't know!"

Feng Xiaotian answered with difficulty under the crushing pressure.

He felt as though he could barely breathe, and he was utterly bewildered.

Why the hell have I been so unlucky lately? First Wei Fan bullied me twice, and now some lunatic shows up and immediately demands to know where his herbs are.

Herbs, my fucking ass!

"Your Eminence Poison Douluo, let's talk this through!"

Feng Yi forced his way over against Dugu Bo's pressure. He feared Feng Xiaotian would be torn apart if he didn't intervene.

This was Godwind Academy's finest student. They were counting on Feng Xiaotian to shine at the Soul Master Elite Tournament three years from now.

Besides, Feng Xiaotian was his own nephew!

"Poison Douluo? Dugu Bo!"

Feng Xiaotian was dumbstruck.

No wonder this crazy old man was so powerful that even their dean couldn't withstand him.

He was actually a Titled Douluo!

That only left him more baffled. He was just a lowly Soul Ancestor who had never had anything to do with a Titled Douluo. Why the hell had one come straight at him looking for a beating?

"Boy, hand over the herbs, and we'll call it a day."

Dugu Bo certainly wasn't going to admit that he had misjudged the situation and accused the wrong person.

If word got out, how could he ever show his face again?

Whether Godwind Academy had actually stolen the herbs no longer mattered.

As far as he was concerned, Godwind Academy had stolen them!

"Your Eminence, I don't know what herbs you're talking about."

Feng Xiaotian spoke aggrievedly.

Even now, he had no idea what had happened.

"You little brat, hurry up and hand them over."

"I can't protect you if you keep this up."

Feng Yi pulled Feng Xiaotian aside. He didn't know what precious treasure the boy had taken to offend this living king of hell, but if he didn't produce it before Dugu Bo lost his temper and released his poison, not a single person in Godwind Academy would survive.

There wouldn't even be anyone left to fucking bury them, let alone hold a funeral feast!

"Uncle, I really don't know anything about any herbs. Tell me what's going on first."

Feng Xiaotian looked utterly wronged, his mind still a tangled mess.

"Let me explain..."

Feng Yi told Feng Xiaotian everything he knew, exactly as it had happened.

A moment later...

"Your Eminence, I did go to Sunset Forest a few days ago, but I didn't take your herbs."

"I know who did it!"

Feng Yi's explanation finally made everything clear to Feng Xiaotian.

They're actually making me carry the blame!

"Who?"

Dugu Bo's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Wei Fan!"

Feng Xiaotian was certain Wei Fan had done it. Judging by how that fellow had acted, he hadn't gone to Sunset Forest to obtain a soul ring.

He must have gone there to steal something!

"Wei Fan?"

Dugu Bo's expression changed instantly.

He might have made an error in judgment, but he wasn't an idiot!

With Wei Fan's strength, there was absolutely no way he could have passed through the poison barrier Dugu Bo had set up.

Besides, he was baffled. Why did everyone keep accusing Wei Fan of stealing?

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

"Keep spouting nonsense, and I won't mind giving you a taste of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's venom."

Dugu Bo's eyes turned cold again. This brat was still trying to deceive him.

"Your Eminence, it really was Wei Fan!"

"We ran into Wei Fan in Sunset Forest..."

Feng Xiaotian recounted everything that had happened in full detail.

"Boy, I think you're deliberately trying to get revenge!"

"Wei Fan snatched your soul ring, so now you want to turn around and splash him with dirty water."

He had seen this same scene at the celebration in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Ge Long had falsely accused Wei Fan, only to be scolded bloody by Emperor Xue Ye and the nobles and ministers.

Now they're trying that trick again?

Fucking idiot!

"Your Eminence Poison Douluo, please don't do anything rash."

Feng Yi was panicking!

If Dugu Bo released his poison, how many fucking people would die?

"Your Eminence, how about this?"

"Give our academy a little time, and we'll definitely recover your herbs!"

"If we can't find them, Godwind Academy will compensate you."

"Please let Feng Xiaotian go first, Your Eminence. He's still a child."

Feng Yi was so frightened he was on the verge of dropping to his knees.

He knew his nephew. If he said he hadn't taken them, then he certainly hadn't. But Dugu Bo didn't believe him.

What the hell kind of mess is this?

"Don't keep me waiting too long!"

Dugu Bo withdrew his soul power. He was quite satisfied with Godwind Academy's proposed solution.

In any case, Godwind Academy hadn't stolen the herbs. He had already figured that out. Since Feng Yi had built him a staircase to step down, he might as well take it!

"You don't have much time. Find that chrysanthemum for me as soon as possible. I'll be back!"

With that, Dugu Bo vanished from the Dean's Office.

Feng Yi and his nephew Feng Xiaotian were left bewildered once again.

The bastard had only mentioned before leaving that it was a chrysanthemum. There were fucking countless chrysanthemums!

Where were they supposed to look?

"Xiaotian, are you sure Wei Fan took it?"

"Absolutely. We spent about five days in Sunset Forest, and Wei Fan was the only person we encountered."

"I'm going to find that bastard Huyan Zhen!"

Feng Yi hurried out of the office.

He had to get that damned chrysanthemum back from Elephant Armor Academy.

Otherwise, Godwind Academy was in for a disaster!

The Elephant Armor Sect.

"Huyan Zhen, get out here!"

Feng Yi had just gone to Elephant Armor Academy, only to find that the old bastard wasn't there.

"Feng Yi?"

"What are you doing here?"

Huyan Zhen's expression changed. This old bastard certainly hadn't come with any good intentions.

"I won't beat around the bush. Have Wei Fan hand over the chrysanthemum he stole from Sunset Forest."

Feng Yi got straight to the point.

"That's fucking bullshit!"

"Feng Yi, don't dump every chamber pot of shit on Elephant Armor Academy's head. You say Wei Fan stole something? What proof do you have?"

"You heard about what happened with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family a while ago, didn't you? What happened when that old bastard Ge Long falsely accused Wei Fan of stealing?"

"He got scolded bloody by Emperor Xue Ye and those nobles and ministers!"

"And now you're accusing Wei Fan of stealing again."

"What? Did you cook this up with that old bastard Ge Long?"

"You even claim he stole it from Sunset Forest."

"What, does Sunset Forest belong to you?"

Huyan Zhen immediately flared up and rattled off a torrent of words.

"Huyan Zhen, I'll be frank with you."

"What Wei Fan stole belongs to Dugu Bo. Feng Xiaotian from our Godwind Academy saw it."

"You should know what Dugu Bo is like. His moods are unpredictable. If you truly anger him, Elephant Armor Academy will be in deep trouble."

Feng Yi had known this visit to the Elephant Armor Sect wouldn't go smoothly, so he brought up Dugu Bo directly.

He refused to believe this old bastard Huyan Zhen wasn't afraid.

"Everyone in the Five Elemental Academies knows Feng Xiaotian got beaten up by Wei Fan. Now Feng Xiaotian claims Wei Fan stole something? That's obviously a false accusation."

"You actually believe that crap? Is your brain filled with shit?"

"I think you're just wary of having Wei Fan at Elephant Armor Academy. You're afraid we'll win another championship and sit on Godwind Academy's head to take a shit. But because of the feud between Feng Xiaotian and Wei Fan, you can't recruit him, so you want to destroy him instead."

"And you're dragging Dugu Bo into this? Dugu Bo lost something, and you're the one coming to demand it?"

"Are you Dugu Bo's lapdog?"

Huyan Zhen wore a contemptuous sneer.

He didn't believe Wei Fan would steal from Dugu Bo. A Soul Elder stealing something from a Titled Douluo?

Someone would have to fucking believe that story first!

Besides, so what if it was Dugu Bo?

As long as this involved Wei Fan, he really wasn't afraid of Dugu Bo.

"You..."

"Huyan Zhen, you have to give me an explanation today. Call Wei Fan over. I want to question him face-to-face."

Feng Yi hadn't expected this old bastard Huyan Zhen to be like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. He wasn't even afraid of Dugu Bo.

But Feng Yi couldn't do that!

He had lost his nerve!

He had to question Wei Fan face-to-face today. When he went to Elephant Armor Academy earlier, he had searched for ages without finding any trace of Wei Fan. Otherwise, he would have dragged the boy back to Godwind Academy for a thorough interrogation.

"What?"

"You think you can see Wei Fan whenever you please?"

Never mind that he wanted to protect Wei Fan. Even if he didn't, he still wouldn't want to call that boy over.

Every fucking time he came, he turned around and demanded a meal!

"You..."

Feng Yi was so furious he couldn't get a word out. Without evidence, this really was difficult to argue.

"You what?"

"If you don't leave, watch out, or I'll beat you up."

"Feng Yi, if I remember correctly, you're still only a Soul Saint, aren't you?"

Huyan Zhen clenched his fists, looking ready to step forward and unleash a combination of punches.

"Huyan Zhen, don't regret this!"

Feng Yi threw out that threat and left.

It seemed this old bastard Huyan Zhen really wasn't afraid of Dugu Bo.

That shouldn't be possible!

Could this old bastard have broken through to Titled Douluo?

Definitely not. If he really had broken through, there's no way he could have kept it hidden.

Could the Elephant Armor Sect have found someone powerful to back them?

He couldn't figure it out!
