Star Martial God Technique (Web Novel) - Chapter 24 — Xia Yuning
Chapter 24 : Xia Yuning
Lin Hong stared at An Xueyun, then at Ye Xinghe. After that, he started to walk silently.
Ye Xinghe wrinkled his eyebrows. Senior An acted like this, what exactly had happened? Still thinking in his heart, Ye Xinghe followed behind An Xueyun.
All the students were walking in hurry. When some of them saw Ye Xinghe and co, their gaze contained fear, they withdrew and stayed away from the three.
Ye Xinghe was at a loss, what had actually happened? Why did everyone avoid us?
Mo Yu ran over to them in a hurry. As she saw the three, she said hurriedly, “Xinghe, this is bad. Jiang Lian died!”
Liang Jian died!?
Ye Xinghe stared at Mo Yu in shock. Yesterday Liang Jian was perfectly fine, how come today he suddenly died?
Although in the past years’ Smelting Trial always had some injured students, there was almost no case of someone died at the trial. Moreover, Liang Jian was a direct junior of Dark Moon family, the matter of his death was absolutely a major problem.
No wonder Senior sister An’s expression was so depressed, no wonder earlier when everyone looked at him they immediately avoided him in panic. Liang Jian had conflict with him yesterday, this was a well-known matter. Now Liang Jian had been killed, the responsibility of this matter, most likely fell on Ye Xinghe’s shoulder.
That was because Ye Xinghe had a motive of murder!
Last night, he stayed in his tent all the time, not got out at all. The only ones who could testify for him were An Xueyun and Lin Hong.
Ye Xinghe didn’t understand at all, actually how did Liang Jian die, and who had killed him?
They could see that all the students ran and surrounded one place from afar. There, all the five teachers, including teacher Chu Xian, were observing the scene with severe expression. What was in their mind, nobody would know.
This was a stretch of open space in the middle of the jungle with diameter around 5-6 meters. Liang Jian’s corpse lied down in its center, the clothes was scattered, likely by demon beasts, there was horrifying scars in his whole body. In the ground surrounding the corpse, there were a lot of cracks and broken tree parts, left traces of intense fight that happened earlier.
As the students saw Ye Xinghe approached the murder scene, they started to whispered each other quietly.
In their opinion, the most suspicious was Ye Xinghe!
Teacher Chu Xian silently observed him, then exchanged a meaningful glance with several other teachers.
“We have sent a messenger to inform Sir Headmaster. Headmaster should have come in the afternoon!” a teacher said to Chu Xian.
At this time, Liang Yu stood immediately, on his face was a sad appearance, and began to talk, “I never thought that in this Smelting Trial, my younger cousin would unexpectedly die like this. I ask to teachers, should we find the murderer, please punish him severely, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I must revenge my younger cousin’s death!”
“You can rest assured. We will spare no effort to certainly found the murderer!” Chu Xian said earnestly. He was the leader of this group of students, and now they got a big problem in the middle of the trial, made it impossible for him to run away from taking responsibility. The best solution for this, naturally to discover the true murderer!
“Many thanks, teacher Chu Xian.” Liang Yu then turned and pointed at Ye Xinghe, his gaze contained dense killing intent, “My younger cousin and Ye Xinghe had a conflict, all of us know about this! If there was someone who has motive for murder, it should be only him! I think that my cousin’s death, absolutely related with him! I’m certain that he is the one that killed my younger cousin! Therefore, I ask teacher Chu Xian to uphold justice for me!”
Heard Liang Yu’s words, all the students were in uproar immediately. They already suspected Ye Xinghe before, but they couldn’t be certain about it. Now Liang Yu directly accused Ye Xinghe, how would Ye Xinghe reacted?
Ye Xinghe frowned as he heard this. He also thought that Liang Jian’s death was a little fishy, why did Liang Jian died exactly one day after they had conflict with each other?
Was it Liang Yu? Did he killed Liang Jian and then shifted all the blame on him?
But there was no benefit for Liang Yu if for the sake of framing Ye Xinghe, he needed to kill his cousin. After all, such important matter, if the elders managed to found the truth, he would instead get a major problem.
“What’s really going on here?” Ye Xinghe frowned and thought deeply.
“Liang Yu, you dare to make false accusation. Without evidence, how do you prove that Liang Jian was killed by Ye Xinghe?” An Xueyun got angry when she saw Ye Xinghe being silent. She was really anxious, if Ye Xinghe didn’t argue at all, the crime would likely be charged as his doing!
“An Xueyun, I’m talking about Ye Xinghe, why do you get angry? What evidence do you have that Liang Jian wasn’t killed by him? I just said that Ye Xinghe had a clear motive for murder!” the corner of Liang Yu’s mouth curled slightly and formed a cold smile. “Can you really prove that Liang Jian wasn’t killed by Ye Xinghe?”
“Of course I can!” An Xueyun said seriously.
“You can show that Liang Jian wasn’t killed by Ye Xinghe? Could it be that you were together with Ye Xinghe last night?” Liang Yu curled his lip and sneered. He was really sure that An Xueyun absolutely won’t testify this matter. If An Xueyun really made such remarks, didn’t it prove that An Xueyun did have an affair with Ye Xinghe?
“Last night, I truly stayed together with Ye Xinghe in his tent. What about it?” An Xueyun said seriously, her eyes contained color of resolution.
Her last sentence made uproar in the surrounding students. The degree of shock this matter had, was not inferior at all with the news of Liang Jian’s death. Who was An Xueyun? She was daughter from the first wife of Eternal Family Chief! But Ye Xinghe was only a junior from common family, was it possible that An Xueyun and Ye Xinghe really committed adultery?
These two people, how could they get together?
As he heard An Xueyun’s words, Ye Xinghe felt grateful toward An Xueyun. He understood that An Xueyun wanted to shield him, therefore she said such words impulsively. But this matter actually had tainted her clean reputation! In order to prove oneself innocent, he unexpectedly harmed a young girl’s reputation, this result was not something Ye Xinghe willing to do!
“HA HA HA!” Liang Yu laughed wildly, “An Xueyun, I never think that you really committed adultery with Ye Xinghe. You, a dignified Eternal Family daughter from the first wife, actually will fall in love with someone like Ye Xinghe, really unthinkable! An Xueyun, since you and Ye Xinghe were a pair of immoral adulterer, doesn’t that make you and Ye Xinghe in one group? All this time I keep thinking how Ye Xinghe managed to kill my younger cousin alone, but if he was together with you, it’s finally make sense! The way I see it, you clearly knew that my younger cousin liked you, so you made him come to this place before you killed him together with Ye Xinghe! This also explain why my younger cousin died here, and not in his own tent!”
“You-“ An Xueyun hadn’t think that Liang Yu actually made another false accusation, she just wanted to prove Ye Xinghe’s innocence, but unexpectedly getting dragged into this matter by this fellow’s words that distorted all the facts!
At this moment, a red clothed young girl was holding both her hands on her chest, revealing a bright smiling face, and said, “Last night I was together with them in Ye Xinghe’s tent, will that also make me an immoral bitch?”
The one that spoke was Xia Yuning!
When they heard Xia Yuning’s words, everyone was getting shocked, but quickly came to their senses. If it was only Ye Xinghe and An Xueyun being together, it was really questionable, but if they were together with Xia Yuning, naturally there was no problem. Even if Ye Xinghe could attract an attention from one goddess, it was still impossible to make both goddesses surrendered to his arms!
