Chapter 229

Gu Chen was delighted to hear this, but he answered calmly on the surface.

"It's nothing. Ever since I came to the True Martial Arts Academy, I often heard about the Monster King Sun Jinming, so I'm a little curious."

Shi Jian didn't doubt it and nodded. "Sun Jinming is indeed amazing. He's a recognized genius of the Nanling Demon Clan."

"I heard that he has a fiery temper and is very belligerent. Is that true?"

Gu Chen seemed to ask casually.

"Indeed."

Shi Jian had a strange expression on his face. "The last time I met him, he actually wanted to compete with me. Later, he found out that I hadn't stepped into the King Realm, so he gave up."

Gu Chen was silent. In that case, Zhu Yilun wasn't just speculating about the Monster King. If Sun Jinming met Jiang Yige, the Daoist of the Celestial Court, he might really take the initiative to stir up trouble.

"Brother Chen, is there something on your mind?"

Shi Jian saw that Gu Chen was troubled and asked.

Gu Chen came back to his senses and shook his head. "No, I'm just wondering when I can have the demeanor of the Monster King."

"This kind of thing can't be rushed. In terms of age, the Monster King is much older than us. When we reach his age, we may have his achievements. Brother Chen, don't belittle yourself."

Shi Jian's words were not only for Gu Chen, but also for himself.

As a Stone Clan Sacred Bloodline, he was confident that his talent would not be worse than Sun Jinming's.

"Brother Shi, you're right."

Gu Chen smiled.

The two chatted happily. Shi Jian didn't leave until midnight. Gu Chen felt that he had gained a lot.

The next day, Gu Chen stayed in the library to work while consciously collecting information about Sun Jinming.

People came and went in the library, and he also met some people. From their words, he learned more about Sun Jinming.

"Sun Jinming is a loner. Not to mention the gatherings organized by the Human Clan, he sometimes ignores the gatherings of the Demon Clan."

"For such a person to suddenly attend the gathering at the Cool Breeze Villa three months ago is indeed suspicious."

Gu Chen realized that Zhu Yilun's and his reports were all true. Jiang Yige's disappearance seemed to point more and more to the Demon King.

However, his heart was filled with doubts. He had a feeling that things were not so simple.

Just two days later, just as he was thinking about finding an opportunity to get in touch with the Monster King, he received a shocking piece of news.

"Ye Qingshuang was ambushed and her life is in danger!"

"Is this for real? How could this happen? She's a student that our academy is focusing on nurturing! "

"It's absolutely true. It's said that even Vice School Head Qi has been alarmed, and the academy has sent out quite a few teachers to track down the culprit. However, it's a pity that the incident happened outside the academy, so they were unable to find any clues!"

Many students who came to the library were discussing spiritedly. When Gu Chen heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Why would Ye Qingshuang be ambushed out of nowhere?

Was someone seeking revenge, or was there something fishy going on?

A light flashed in Gu Chen's mind, and he vaguely understood.

He left the library almost immediately. There were some things that could only be confirmed after seeing Ye Qingshuang's situation.

The True Martial Academy was very big. Gu Chen didn't know where Ye Qingshuang was placed, so he could only look for Mu Ziyu.

"As soon as something happened to Qingshuang, I didn't expect you to come immediately. Well, I was going to interrogate you anyway. "

When Mu Ziyu saw Gu Chen, her beautiful eyes were vaguely hostile.

"How is she now? Can I see her? "

Gu Chen said calmly.

"Don't worry, answer a few questions for me first."

At this moment, Mu Ziyu looked like she was interrogating a criminal. She carefully asked where Gu Chen was and what he was doing when Ye Qingshuang was in trouble.

She knew Ye Qingshuang very well. She might have offended a lot of people, but such a thing had never happened before.

After the incident, she and many teachers in the academy immediately investigated all the students who might be the culprit, including Ling Xiaoxiao.

In the end, none of them were likely, so Mu Ziyu immediately thought of Gu Chen.

Although Gu Chen was introduced by Junior Sister Lanchu, she was not familiar with him at all.

He had just arrived in the academy, and an outstanding student was ambushed and almost died. It was really suspicious.

In addition, Gu Chen had been close to Ye Qingshuang these days, so she naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Gu Chen understood Mu Ziyu's thoughts and told her everything truthfully.

Because he had been staying in the library, Teacher Xu Fang and many other students could testify, so he was quickly rid of the suspicion.

"You're fine for the time being, but my investigation on you won't end immediately."

Mu Ziyu could not find any evidence on Gu Chen, so she was somewhat unwilling.

"Miss Mu, can I see Ye Qingshuang now?"

Gu Chen said.

"What's there to see? Ye Qingshuang is unconscious now. My master said that her soul has been injured. Although she has taken the academy's best pills, she won't wake up for a few days."

"Besides, men and women should not touch each other. What identity do you have to see her?"

Her eyes were filled with suspicion. She had never believed that Gu Chen and Ye Qingshuang had a clear relationship last time. This time, Gu Chen came as soon as something happened to Ye Qingshuang, making her even more certain that their relationship was not ordinary.

"Miss Mu, if you can let me see her, maybe I can find the culprit."

Gu Chen's words were shocking.

"Are you for real?"

Mu Ziyu's expression immediately turned serious. No matter how much she despised this two-timing man, she knew which was more important.

Ye Qingshuang was seriously injured, which made her heart ache. Such a terrible thing, but there was still no clue. The academy's teachers were already as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Gu Chen nodded seriously.

"Alright, I'll take you to see her."

Mu Ziyu thought for a moment, then clenched her teeth and said.

A moment later, Gu Chen was brought to a secluded courtyard in the academy and saw the seriously injured Ye Qingshuang in a room.

Her injuries were even more frightening than the rumors said. Her whole body was covered in bandages, and there was still a faint trace of blood.

Her face was extremely pale, her eyes were closed, and she was muttering something from time to time.

Gu Chen stepped forward and looked down at her, not saying a word.

"Did you see any clues?"

Mu Ziyu saw that Gu Chen did not say a word and quickly asked.

"What is she muttering?"

Gu Chen listened attentively, but Ye Qingshuang's words were vague in her coma, so he could not hear it clearly.

"Master said that her soul is injured, which may cause her to have nightmares. She should be talking in her sleep."

"In her dream, she might say who the culprit is. Didn't you listen carefully?"

Gu Chen turned around.

"I listened carefully, but she only said intermittent words. Sometimes she would say Master, Master. It should be a memory in her dream."

Mu Ziyu sighed, "Qingshuang is also a pitiful person. I heard from Master that her entire sect was destroyed."

"She has no background in the academy and has no one to rely on, but she has always been clean, working a hundred times harder than others. Even so, there are often rumors that slander her. Now, there are actually people who want her life. "
