Jin Yu smiled and nodded. "No need for formalities. Have your injuries healed?"
Xu Yang cupped his hands. "They were just minor injuries, and they're mostly healed now."
"As the sole survivor, I am questioning you on behalf of the Academy. Tell me exactly what happened," Jin Yu said, sitting on a rock and waving for Xu Yang to take a seat.
The people who had arrived with him dispersed, carefully inspecting the remaining traces of the battle.
Xu Yang nodded and sat opposite Jin Yu. He recounted everything, starting from Ma Daxing's arrival on the giant eagle. When he mentioned that the Profound Water Spirit Loaches in the Jade Cold Pool had rioted after Ma Daxing fetched water, and that the Profound Water Spirit Loach King had left the pool to kill, Jin Yu's brow furrowed.
"No one inspected the iron bucket, and you all allowed an outsider near the cold pool?"
Xu Yang shook his head.
"Wait here a moment."
