One day later.
The outer courtyard of Torch Academy was completely in an uproar.
"Have you heard? The Crown Prince of Zhou ordered Xiao Yi to assassinate Qin Wudao!"
In the early morning, a student whispered to his companion, cautious as if afraid of being overheard by outsiders.
"That's not all. I've heard that Xiao Yi was killed by Qin Wudao instead. Now Qin Wudao demands the academy punish the Crown Prince of Zhou according to the academy rules!"
The companion nodded, his tone full of surprise.
On one hand, he was amazed by Qin Wudao's strength, being able to kill Xiao Yi, who was a well-known figure in the outer courtyard.
On the other hand, he admired Qin Wudao's courage in actually demanding the academy to deal with the Crown Prince according to the law, knowing that harming one's own could lead to the death penalty.
Ji Huangdao, Crown Prince of the Great Zhou.
A crown prince, after all, is the foundation of the nation.
