"Have you heard? Meng Fanchen killed someone!" An acolyte whispered to his deskmate.
"I also heard that he really killed someone.”Her deskmate clutched her chest, her face pale.
"At that time, many guards saw Meng Fanchen chasing after that person. That person wanted to beg for mercy, but Meng Fanchen did not allow it and killed him!”
"Not only that. Meng Fanchen killed that person and dragged his corpse back to the dormitory.”
"Really?"
"It can't be any more real. I came early this morning and saw the blood stains in the cracks of the flagstones.”
"Why would I lie to you? The Martial Arts Hall Elder had called Meng Fanchen away for this matter!”The youths in the Martial Arts Hall were not in the mood to listen to the lecture and were all chatting in low voices.
Killing people was still too unfamiliar and scary for these sixteen-year-old teenagers.
Ever since they were young, under the protection of the sect, they had at most sparred with fists and feet, killing chickens and dogs. As for killing, that was still far away from them.
"Who did Meng Fanchen kill?"
"I heard that he is a servant of the Mo family.”
"Hai, I know this the best. Last night, I saw with my own eyes that Senior Mo Yan of the Mo family brought a bunch of servants to cause trouble for Meng Fanchen.”
"Oh, it's the Mo family. Not good, Mo Bei is in trouble."”Many youths looked towards Mo Bei. Mo Bei sat in his seat with a pale face. He had also just received the news this morning. Meng Fanchen had actually killed someone, and he had even killed Ah Da, whom he was familiar with!
He was very familiar with this Ah Dambei. He was very active among the servants and was good at flattery. He had also practiced martial arts and was a capable lackey.
Some time ago, Ah Da had sparred with him, Mo Bei, for a while. He didn't expect to be killed by Meng Fanchen just like that!
It was precisely because of this that the shock and disbelief in Mo Bei's heart was twice as intense as the others. Other than shock, there was also worry and fear. Facing a murderer like Meng Fanchen, it would be a lie if the sixteen-year-old Mo Bei said he wasn't afraid.
Actually, he wasn't the only one who was afraid. The other youths were also afraid. Meng Fanchen had robbed them twice, and they had fought against him before.
"I actually fought with such a brutal murderer? I'm actually still alive." Many people patted their chests, feeling a lingering fear. Meng Fanchen had killed people, but he had also taken away the corpses. This was too cruel! Such a terrifying crime deeply impacted the innocent hearts of the teenagers.
In the room, there were only the Martial Arts Hall Elder and Meng Fanchen. The Martial Arts Hall elder sat down while Meng Fanchen stood up. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was heavy.
The Martial Arts Hall Elder looked at Meng Fanchen silently, a complicated look flashing in his eyes. Early in the morning, a guard had reported to him that Meng Fanchen had committed murder. This news made him both shocked and suspicious.
He was a rank three Gu Master and was in charge of Martial Arts Hall, he naturally knew what kind of battle strength a rank one initial stage Gu Master had. For Meng Fanchen to be able to kill Ada, it could be said that he was the weaker one.
In fact, a guard had already reported that Mo Yan had kidnapped Meng Fanchen and barged into the Martial Arts Hall last night. At that time, he didn't care, nor did he stop her.
He was a Martial Arts Hall elder, his goal was to nurture future Gu Masters, not to protect them. As long as no acolytes were killed or injured, he would encourage secret fights.
He was happy to see Mo Yan finding trouble with Meng Fanchen.
Firstly, he knew that regardless of victory or defeat, it would be beneficial to Meng Fanchen's growth. Secondly, he also wanted to suppress Meng Fanchen's limelight. Meng Fanchen had blocked the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall twice in a row and snatched all the primeval stones from all the apprentices. He had to suppress the limelight.
However, he did not expect Mo Yan to return empty-handed, leaving her servant Ah Da behind. However, Ada was actually killed by Meng Fanchen! In this world, strength was supreme. Killing people was not rare, especially to Gu Masters, it was an extremely common thing.
However, a sixteen-year-old youth killing someone for the first time was not simple.
The Martial Arts Hall Elder still remembered the first time he killed someone. At that time, he was already a Rank two Gu Master, nineteen years old. In a conflict, he killed a Gu Master from an enemy force.
After killing someone, he vomited a mess, and his heart was in a panic. She had lost her appetite for a few days and did not want to eat. He didn't even comfort him when he slept. The moment he closed his eyes, he would see that person glaring at him angrily when he died.
Looking at Meng Fanchen now, his expression was as calm as ever. How was there any panic? He didn't feel any discomfort, as if he had just slept last night and wasn't the one who killed him.
This was especially so when the Martial Arts Hall elder heard that after Meng Fanchen killed the servant, he did not let him off and took his corpse away. Such a ruthless method sounded terrifying!
Therefore, the Martial Arts Hall Elder looked at Meng Fanchen with mixed emotions.
On one hand, he was amazed at Meng Fanchen's indifference towards life, his mentality as cold as ice. On the other hand, he admired Meng Fanchen's talent. He had just grasped the Green Light Gu and could use it in battle. Ordinary youths, even those top-grade geniuses, might not be able to do it. This was the talent of battle! If they were nurtured to fight for the sect, they would be the enemy's nightmare. The third aspect was worry and distress.
He was worried that Meng Fanchen's aura would grow stronger after this incident and he would not be able to suppress him. This Meng Fanchen was too bold. Not only did he violate the sect rules, he even used a Gu worm in the Martial Arts Hall and killed someone because of it. He had to suppress his limelight. Otherwise, how could he manage the Martial Arts Hall?
What troubled him was how to deal with this matter. After all, it involved the Mo family of his sect.
"Meng Fanchen, do you know why I summoned you?”The Martial Arts Hall Elder broke the silence in the room with a low voice.
"I know." Meng Fanchen nodded," I used the Green Light Gu in the Martial Arts Hall and violated the sect rules. According to the rules, the first violation should be punished with thirty primeval stones.”He avoided the main topic and didn't mention Ada's death at all.
The Martial Arts Hall Elder was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Meng Fanchen to answer in such a manner. "Don't play dumb in front of me!" he snorted coldly. Let me ask you, what happened to Ada's death?”
Meng Fanchen narrowed his eyes. Ada is a vicious person who offends his superiors. Last night, not only did you block my door, but you also wanted to kill me. In order to defend myself, I had no choice but to use the Green Light Gu and luckily killed this thief. "I suspect that this person is very likely a spy from another sect. Elder, please examine him!”When the Martial Arts Hall Elder heard this, he frowned and did not know what to say.
Now that Ah Da was dead, Meng Fanchen could say whatever he wanted. He was just an outsider and not a disciple. If he died, so be it. The Martial Arts Hall Elder did not care about this at all. However, he was worried about the Mo Family's reaction. Ah Da was a servant of the Mo Family, but he died in the Martial Arts Hall. He needed to give the Mo Family an explanation for managing the Martial Arts Hall.
After some thought, the Martial Arts Hall elder stared at Meng Fanchen and questioned,""Then let me ask you, how did you deal with Ada's body?”
Meng Fanchen's lips curled into a cruel sneer,""I placed Ah Da's corpse in a wooden box. When the sun rose, I placed it at the back door of the Mo family's house.”
" What?!" The Martial Arts Hall Elder was so shocked that he almost stood up from his seat.
Not only did Meng Fanchen kill the family's servant, he even placed the corpse at the Mo Family's back door. This was simply a provocation to the Mo Family! To the Martial Arts Hall Elder, who wanted to settle this matter, this was definitely bad news.
Meng Fanchen was only a small Rank one Gu Master, how would the huge Mo clan react? When the Martial Arts Hall Elder thought of this, he suddenly felt a headache. Things had already gotten out of his control. This Meng Fanchen was really a troublemaker!
"Sigh, since things have already happened, it's useless to say more. You can go down first. There will be punishment in a few days. You have to be mentally prepared.”The elder's heart was in a mess. He waved his hand to dismiss Meng Fanchen. He needed to calm down and think of a countermeasure.
