Chapter 2475: Chapter 2475 - 2475 Why the Trouble?

2475 Why the Trouble?

“Young Master…”

Tao Yao’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that voice. He turned around with teary eyes.

Su Zimo rubbed Tao Yao’s head gently and smiled gently. With a warm expression, he said gently, “It’s fine, I’ll handle it.”

“Alright!”

Tao Yao nodded vigorously.

For some unknown reason, as long as Su Zimo was beside him, his nervousness, panic and confusion earlier on seemed to have vanished instantly and he was relieved.

“Senior brother.”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief as well.

Su Zimo nodded slightly to the two of them, indicating for them to rest assured.

“My, if it isn’t Senior Brother Su!”

Behind Fang Qingyun, a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal of the academy asked with a smile, “Senior Brother Su, you came at the right time. That servant of yours broke the academy’s rules. What do you think we should do?”

“What else can he do? That’s unless you intend to challenge the rules of the academy, Senior Brother Su?” Another academy disciple echoed.

“Hehe!”

The first person gave a strange laugh. “That’s not for sure. Senior Brother Su is a peerless genius who ascended the ninth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs and condensed the tenth stone step. He’s arrogant and doesn’t take the academy’s rules seriously. That’s for sure.”

The two of them echoed one after another in a weird manner.

Fang Qingyun merely smiled indifferently with a silent acceptance of this scene.

Su Zimo did not even look at the other party, as though he had not heard anything. He merely turned around and asked, “Liu Ping, what’s going on?”

Liu Ping said hurriedly, “Tao Boy and I received this year’s Essence Spirit Stones in front of the Essence Spirit Pavilion. Before long, we were blocked by more than ten servants of Senior Brother Fang.”

“For no reason, they cursed at the Tao Boy and spouted filthy words continuously.”

At that point, Liu Ping paused for a moment, as though he recalled those filthy words. He was indignant and glared at the servants opposite him.

Liu Ping continued, “Tao Boy was so angry that he pushed away the person in front of him and wanted to leave. He did not injure that person at all.”

“But who knew, Senior Brother Fang and the others suddenly appeared and surrounded us. They said that Tao Boy broke the academy’s rules and fought in private within the grounds of the academy, injuring others.”

“Senior Brother Fang did not give Tao Boy a chance to explain and attacked him directly. Thankfully, Tao Boy’s badge blocked the attack and he managed to survive.”

Liu Ping quickly described the conflict briefly.

When Su Zimo heard that, he already had a gist of things.

The other party was here for him!

Fang Qingyun said slowly, “You sure make it sound simple, Junior Brother Liu. My servant is already severely injured and dead.”

“What?!”

Liu Ping was shocked before saying resolutely, “That’s impossible!”

“Bring him up.”

Fang Qingyun waved his hand.

Behind him, a few servants carried the corpse of another servant up. This person did look like he was dead and had just died not long ago.

“It wasn’t me. I didn’t kill him. I merely pushed him…”

Tao Yao shook his head hurriedly and tried his best to explain.

“Seems like Senior Brother Fang isn’t making a mountain out of a molehill. Someone did die.”

“That’s right, if someone is dead, this is no longer as simple as a private fight.”

Another academy disciple pouted and whispered, “Do you guys really think that Senior Brother Fang’s servant was killed by that child?”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?” The few people beside him asked.

The person sneered, “It’s obvious that Senior Brother Fang and the others killed that servant and framed him to make things difficult for Senior Brother Su.”

“These are all your guesses, right? What evidence do you have?” Another person questioned.

The person shrugged. “Who would leave evidence for something like this?”

Liu Ping pointed at the servant’s corpse and shouted, “I was present at that time. He was fine when Tao Boy pushed him away!”

“Nonsense! Brother Wang was severely injured at that time and died not long after!”

Fang Qingyun’s servants stood out hurriedly to argue and the scene was in chaos.

Su Zimo finally turned around and looked at Fang Qingyun.

Their gazes met in midair and neither of them avoided the other—it was extremely tense!

Su Zimo said, “Fang Qingyun, I’ve yet to settle my past grudges with you after I came out of seclusion. To think that you would come knocking first.”

“A life for a life. It’s only right and proper. I don’t need to say anything more, right?”

Fang Qingyun spread his hands with a calm expression. “The life of a servant is also a life. Your servant broke the academy’s rules and has to pay with his life for killing someone.”

“If he doesn’t die, you’ll have to!”

Actually, even without Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s urging, Fang Qingyun was prepared to make a move on Su Zimo.

Back then, he set up a trap to kill Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo. In the end, neither of them died. Instead, Tang Peng died outside.

If he was not wrong, Su Zimo should already know that he was the one plotting behind the scenes.

The two of them would fight sooner or later.

Furthermore, Fang Qingyun felt a huge threat from Su Zimo!

Su Zimo was cultivating way too quickly!

He had only joined the inner sect for a few years but he had already cultivated to become a Grade 6 Heaven Immortal.

If he was given more time and allowed to continue growing, his position as number one of the inner sect would probably be replaced!

Fang Qingyun continued, “Su Zimo, since both of us want to stand up for our servants, I have a suggestion. Let’s head to the Sword Discourse Arena and settle our grudges!”

This was a plan that he had planned for a long time. As long as he angered Su Zimo and forced him onto the Sword Discourse Arena, he would not give Su Zimo any chance!

“Senior Brother Su, don’t agree to it!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping hurriedly stopped him.

To the two of them, Su Zimo was only a Grade 6 Heaven Immortal after all.

As for Fang Qingyun, he had long cultivated to the peak of a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal. He was the number one of the inner sect and had the strongest combat strength. Furthermore, he was ranked 10 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.

The difference between the two of them was too great. Once they were on the Sword Discourse Arena, Su Zimo would definitely lose.

Fang Qingyun raised his brow slightly. “Su Zimo, don’t worry. According to the academy’s rules, life and death battles are not allowed on the Sword Discourse Arena. I’ll try my best to hold back and spare your life.”

Su Zimo looked at Fang Qingyun silently with a cold expression.

“Senior Brother Su, are you afraid?” A disciple of the academy behind Fang Qingyun shouted deliberately.

Another person said, “How is that possible? He’s an unprecedented genius who condensed the tenth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs. How can he be so timid?”

“Sword Discourse Arena!”

Some disciples of the academy mocked and the surrounding crowd began to jeer as well.

“Su Zimo, please.”

Fang Qingyun was filled with smiles.

Everything went according to his plan without any mistakes.

“Why the trouble?”

Suddenly, Su Zimo spoke.

Before his sentence was finished, he arrived before Fang Qingyun in a flash and attacked in front of everyone’s shocked gazes!

Su Zimo’s palm seemed to have transformed into a gigantic hand that blanketed the skies as it crushed down on Fang Qingyun’s head!

Fang Qingyun’s pupils constricted in shock!

He had predicted almost everything and accounted for most variables. However, he had not expected that Su Zimo would dare to attack him in the academy!

Furthermore, it was in front of everyone!
