Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were quite a number of people in the school who looked astonished when they heard Qian Yi’s roar. Someone muttered softly, “That wife of his is said to be a missy from the capital. She was sent to the countryside after committing a crime. Furthermore, I heard that she is a very fierce and

overbearing woman. It’s said that she is also very ugly…”

The rumblings went on and on. Li Qingmu suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, “Qian Yi, you said that my wife almost killed you. Where’s the evidence? Without evidence, it’s slander!”

“You!”

Qian Yi held his breath in his chest as he stared at Li Qingmu, wanting to kill him. This fellow is actually so shameless as to ask me for evidence? How the f*ck could I have evidence!

“If there is, I will directly send your wife to the authorities!”

Li Qingmu naturally knew that he had no evidence. He was about to go berserk with hatred when a strange look flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, he pointed at Qian Yi and said angrily, “Qian Yi, that day you took liberties with my wife in public. I haven’t settled the score with you, but you actually

slandered me. What are your motives? Or are you guilty and afraid that I’ll hold you accountable, so you want to strike first?”

“Oh”

The students in the school jeered again, watching with interest as the two fought.

Women loved to gossip, and men were no different! The students looked at both of them and rubbed their fists together, waiting for them to start a fight.

“You… You’re talking nonsense!”

Qian Yi was so angry that he stomped his feet. At the same time, his face flushed from his guilty conscience. He had indeed teased Longyue that day. Many people had witnessed this.

“Tm spouting nonsense?” Li Qingmu sneered with an angry expression. “Many people witnessed it. Any random villager who went to the lotus pond in the back mountains of Qingshui Village that day could testify! Do you still want to deny it?”

The more he talked, the more panicked Qian Yi became. He was really afraid that Li Qingmu would pull those villagers over to testify.

But he must not show weakness now. Otherwise, he would really look guilty.

“Pfft, Li Qingmu, you bastard. You actually dare to slander me! How good do you think that b*tch of yours is? Who the f*ck wants her?”

“At that time, you spoke frivolously and pounced on my wife. Fortunately, she had a sharp reaction and dodged your evil claws. And because you accidentally fell into the water, you’re slandering my wife here without evidence, and you even said such vulgar and vicious words. It’s so obvious that you must

have been full of dirty talk!”

“I…” Li Qingmu had told the entire story. Qian Yi was speechless. In his frustration, he became ruthless. He picked up an inkstone on the table and threw it at him. “Go to hell!”

“Whew—”

There was a crisp and clear sound as the inkstone flew through the air!

Li Qingmu had anticipated it. He dodged the spinning inkstone. And Xiang Yin, having learned his lesson, did not dare to stand behind Li Qingmu. There was no one behind him, but coincidentally, when the inkstone flew over, a thin figure happened to walk out from the corner.

“Ah… Be careful!”

Someone in the crowd cried out in surprise. The figure instinctively looked up and saw a black shadow flying towards him. It was getting bigger and bigger, and it was too late to dodge!

“Pfft!”

The inkstone fell and blood splattered!

“Ah… Not good. Someone died. Someone was killed!”

The students in the school turned pale with fear. When they saw who was injured, they were dumbfounded.

“Teacher, it’s Teacher. Qian Yi, you smashed Teacher to death!”

That person shouted in panic, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Li Qingmu was stunned when he saw the bloody scene behind him. He had only wanted to provoke Qian Yi into doing something irrational, but who would have thought that Teacher Xu would become his victim?

Fortunately, he came to his senses immediately and shouted to Xiang Yin beside him, “Quickly, go get a doctor. Hurry up!”

Xiang Yin nodded and rushed off. Li Qingmu suddenly pointed at the dumbfounded Qian Yi and said, “What are you waiting for? Catch this murderer!”

“Arrest him!”

Teacher Xu treated his students quite well. Before the examination, he made it a point to hold revision classes, so this time, Qian Yi had angered everyone. The students who were watching the show immediately pounced on him.

“It’s not me! I didn’t! Don’t arrest me!”

Qian Yi cried out in surprise, followed by nervousness and panic. “I really did not kill anyone! That inkstone did not hit Teacher Xu…”

But no one would listen to his explanation now.

“Send him to the authorities to be punished!”

Someone shouted. Qian Yi felt a chill down his spine and his hair stood on end. He did not want to be arrested and sent to the authorities. Otherwise, his life would be ruined!

Coincidentally, he was next to the window. He jumped out the window and escaped.

“Catch him, don’t let him get away!”

Li Qingmu shouted and was the first to chase after him. Then other students also gave chase. Following that, the whole roomful of students rushed out to capture him.

“Stop, don’t you dare run!”

“Catch up with him!”

‘The students gave chase. In a panic, Qian Yi ran blindly and dashed into the crowded downtown area, shaking off his pursuers several times.

At last, Qian Yi ran into a brothel.

“Brother Li, he went into a brothel! Are we still chasing after him?”

A student pointed at the brothel. Li Qingmu replied coldly, “Chase! A few of you will wait at this door. You, and the rest of you, let’s go to the back and ambush him!”

The group of students split up and surrounded the brothel.

“Hey, what are you doing? What are you scholars doing? Are you disrupting our business?”

‘An old procuress swayed her hips affectedly and swore in displeasure. Immediately someone among the students said, “A murderer had run in!”

“Ah—save me! Hurry up and arrest him!”

‘The old procuress screamed. Then the place descended into chaos.

Qian Yi darted into the brothel and bumped into two ladies in a panic. The two ladies actually knew him and called out “Young Master Qian, Young Master Qian.”

If it was in the past, Qian Yi would definitely have pounced on them immediately. But now, he did not have the time for that. He just wanted to escape quickly.

Fortunately, he had been to this brothel more than once. He was familiar with the place and ran all the way to the backyard.

‘There was a back door there that he could escape from. Presumably, those people would not be able to catch him!

Pfft, a bunch of fools wanting to arrest me?

Qian Yi wiped the corner of his mouth and revealed a sinister smile. After a few turns, he arrived at the back door.

He rushed over and was about to open the back door to escape when a familiar voice came from outside. “He’ll definitely go through the back door. We’ll just wait for him here!”

“Brother Li, you’re really amazing. You actually know that the back door to this brothel is here!”

“Xiang Yin mentioned it to me before, so I remembered.”

‘When Qian Yi heard the commotion outside, his face tuned liver-colored.. At that moment, he really wanted to curse—Li Qingmu, f*ck you!
