Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 106: The main course is finally served
Everyone in the entire venue could hear Xu Qingyan's question clearly.
Most of the students felt puzzled by the question asked by Xu Qingyan.
How could Tang Zheng, a rising student at Yisu Academy, be connected with Yingshan, a dark force that has dominated the continent for many years and that everyone is afraid of?
However, Ning Mo on the stage changed his expression when he heard this question. Even Li Xiaoren and Ouyang Luoluo who knew the "inside story" were a little surprised and began to pay attention to this segment which seemed like a farce.
The people in the entire venue were polarized for a moment.
The confused students didn't care about this question at all.
A small number of people who knew the "inside story" focused all their attention on Tang Zheng, waiting for his answer.
Tang Zheng did not show any abnormality when he heard this question. He behaved the same as when he answered all the questions before. He almost blurted out: "Of course I am not from Yingshan. I have heard of Yingshan and even know a few people from Yingshan, but... I definitely do not come from this force."
When Tang Zheng answered this question, Ning Mo changed his previous cold and uncooperative attitude, and like a falcon looking for prey, he stared at every subtle expression, movement, tone, and every word of Tang Zheng's answer.
To Ning Mo, that short sentence seemed like a century.
After hearing the last word of Tang Zheng's answer, he suddenly felt as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away, and he became completely depressed.
Tang Zheng's answer was not only unacceptable to Ning Mo, but even Li Xiaoren who was standing next to him and Ouyang Luoluo in the audience showed slightly surprised expressions.
In addition to them, there were several students, teachers, or instructors who had suppressed hatred in their eyes since Tang Zheng entered the venue. They quietly loosened their clenched fists, and the look in their eyes when they looked at Tang Zheng finally relaxed.
Ouyang Luoluo said to herself in confusion: "What's going on? Did I make a mistake?..."
Leng Buchen suddenly showed a smile on his face, and gently shook his head at Ouyang Luoluo who was sitting next to him, signaling her to stop muttering.
After Tang Zheng answered Xu Qingyan's question, he looked at the dejected Ning Mo with a smile, and raised the remaining bottle of smart water in front of him again, "Why, Instructor Ning, is this answer particularly unsatisfactory to you? Otherwise, why don't you drink a sip of smart water, and I will ask you a few questions and try the effect myself?"
Ning Mo smiled bitterly and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. I'll keep some of my dignity. Yes, I was the one who tried to assassinate you twice. Because I got some information before, I thought you were a villain from Yingshan. In the end, all this... turned out to be just a bubble!"
"I have already made a big mistake. The academy has been very kind to me. I was originally planning to kill you and then surrender myself to the academy to apologize. But it seems that this is no longer necessary..."
Ning Mo's words caused the entire venue to fall silent.
Suspecting that the instructor had stabbed the students was one thing, but actually hearing an instructor say with his own mouth that he was the culprit in the murder of the students was something that many students could not accept for a while, and they felt that their three views had been greatly damaged.
As soon as Ning Mo admitted that he was the culprit in the assassination of Tang Zheng, Li Xiaoren sighed, walked directly to his side, condensed the star power at his fingertips, and with a few snaps, his fingers, like knife blades, pierced into several star veins and acupoints on Ning Mo's body, sealing all his star power directly and leaving him with no ability to resist.
Ning Mo just stood there. Even though his expression was bleak, his body was still standing straight, like a javelin stuck in the spot.
Li Xiaoren's action of sealing the acupoints only made his body tremble a few times and he uttered a few painful groans. He did not make any moves to resist. He just looked up at the sky and closed his eyes. A tear slid down from the corner of his eye: "Third sister, in the end, I was unable to avenge you..."
Ning Mo's desolate voice made the atmosphere in the venue even more solemn and depressing.
After Li Xiaoren sealed Ning Mo's acupoints, he looked at the head deacon Leng Buchen below the stage and asked for his specific advice on how to deal with Ning Mo.
"Wait, Chief Deacon, Instructor Li, as the only victim in this case, I think I should have the most say in how Ning Mo should be dealt with, right?" Tang Zheng suddenly spoke before Leng Buchen could speak.
Hearing Tang Zheng's words, Li Xiaoren frowned and scolded: "The academy has its own rules on how to deal with it, don't interfere!"
Tang Zheng ignored Li Xiaoren and instead looked at Leng Buchen with a determined look on his face.
Leng Buchen thought about it, and finally nodded and said: "Special matters should be handled specially. This matter started with Tang Zheng and ended with Tang Zheng. It doesn't hurt to listen to his treatment of Ning Mo."
Hearing Leng Buchen's answer, Tang Zheng clapped his hands, looked at Ning Mo and said, "According to the rules of the academy, Ning Mo, as an instructor, knowingly broke the law and should be expelled from the academy. Although he attempted to assassinate students twice, according to the law, he should still be beheaded on the spot!"
When the students present heard Tang Zheng's words, they all thought that Tang Zheng was supporting the killing of Ning Mo on the spot.
As a victim, Tang Zheng proposed this solution, which seemed to be reasonable and appropriate.
Most students were disgusted by Ning Mo's behavior of assassinating students for personal revenge despite being an instructor, but it was still hard to bear to kill an instructor on the spot.
There were even quite a few students in the venue who had been taught by Ning Mo. Thinking back on the care Ning Mo had given them since they enrolled in school, they felt very complicated and mixed emotions.
These students wanted to plead for mercy, but they didn't know how to start. They could only look at Tang Zheng and wait for his final decision.
"But..." After talking about the law, Tang Zheng suddenly changed his tone and continued, "Ning Mo, the assassination of me was actually due to a misunderstanding, and I feel that he seems to have a blood feud. I want to know more about the hidden truth. Although the law is ruthless, people are kind. Maybe I can spare his life, it's not impossible!"
After listening to Tang Zheng's words, Li Xiaoren said impatiently: "After talking so much, what do you want to say? To kill or not to kill?"
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Coach Li, why are you so anxious? Let's decide whether to kill or not in another way. If I win the fight between Leng Zhan and I, Ning Mo will be spared from death. If Leng Zhan wins, we will follow the rules of the academy. How about that? I think everyone came here today mainly to watch the fight between Leng Zhan and me. We have waited too long for the main course, so why not serve it now!"
