let me continue working here. I'm willing to take a 50% pay cut...""Boss, I just want a third of what I had before, please let me stay..."All of them regretted their actions and began to apologize and..."Not yet, but it's coming soon..."

Ye Bufan went through his plan from beginning to end, leaving Luo Yudie blushing.

"Little brother, how did you come up with such a bad idea"

Ye Bufan said, "As the saying goes, evildoers will be punished by other evildoers. Du Lang has a heart full of malice, and I'm not some innocent person either. Naturally, I won't show him any courtesy."

"But what if Du Lang dies, the Du family definitely won't let it go," Luo Yudi worried.

"Rest assured, I'll do this without leaving a trace. Just pretend you know nothing, and act like nothing happened."

"Oh!"

Luo Yudie nodded. She was also an extremely intelligent woman, and after thinking about the matter from beginning to end, she did find any loopholes.

Then she stopped dwelling on the matter and asked, "Little brother, what exactly happened How did you escape unharmed And what was all that about just now"

..."That's how it is..."

Ye Bufan recounted the entire affair from beginning to end. Luo Yudie listened with gleaming eyes, astonished that so much could have happened.

After he finished speaking, he said: "I never expected that the Sutra of Fire Tempering would be cultivated in this way. No wonder for so many years, no one has ever been able to cultivate it successfully."

This set of martial arts is truly top-notch at the Heavenly Rank. I have just achieved a small success, comparable to the peak of the Refining Void Realm. It's a pity that it's quite a bit of a cheat.

"If it weren't for a stroke of luck, if I hadn't been so fortunate, I probably would have died outright and never could have mastered this set of martial arts techniques."

That is indeed the case. The "Yu Huo Lian Ti Jue" (literally, "Fire Bathing and Tempering Body Art") speaks of being reborn after facing death. "Fire bathing" refers to the concept of Nirvana rebirth.

It's hard to grasp such things; a moment of inattention and they pass by. So he doesn't even hope to achieve great mastery.

While a higher cultivation level is always better, one's own life is more important.

Then the two chatted for a few more words. Ye Bufan said, "Sister, I have to go now. Just do what I said about Du Lang, there will be no problem."

Luoyudie nodded: "You have to be careful too."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he leaped out of the window and left Jubao Pavilion. He once again disguised himself as a middle-aged man and soon disappeared into the night.

He wasted no time and left Tiānfēng City quickly. After a night of frantic running, at the break of dawn the next day, he returned to the entrance of Wàn Shòu Mountain Range.

He didn't restore his appearance until he entered the Wanshou Mountains and found a deserted place, then hurried to the agreed-upon location.

By the time he arrived, Naran Yujia and Hu Yaoyao were already waiting there.

"Xiaofan, where did you go"

Now Nalan Yujia is in a relationship with him, and seems to be more intimate than Hu YaoYao.

"Resolve some personal grudges."

Ye Bufan simply said a few words, he wasn't disbelieving the two people in front of him, it was just that talking about this kind of thing too much didn't bring any benefits and there was no need to let them know.

Neither did Naran Yu Jia ask any more questions. The three of them left the Wan Shou Mountains together and headed towards Tian Feng City.

As a powerhouse from the Integration Stage, even with Ye Bufan accompanying her, Nalan Yujia's speed of flying through the air was still incredibly fast. After about half an hour, they landed outside the city gates.

As the capital of the Tianfeng Empire, Tianfeng City prohibits entry by air. The three individuals presented their credentials from Cangfeng Academy and returned to the city.

"You two go slowly first. I haven't been back to the academy in three months, so now I'm going back to the library to take a look."

Nalan Yujia was an impulsive person. After speaking, her figure flashed and she vanished from the spot.

Ye Bufan and the other person were not in a hurry. They strolled leisurely towards the academy.

The Ju Bao Ge is now in a state of severe chaos.

After dawn, servants entered the Grand Steward's room to clean and discovered Du Lang and Yao Rui lying naked on the floor, lifeless.

The most crucial thing is that the death scene was incredibly bizarre, with an indescribable atmosphere permeating the room.

From the level of disarray, one can infer how fierce the previous battle was.

Seeing the head steward dead, the servants were terrified and ran out shouting. Afterward, everyone in the Treasure Pavilion gathered around.

As the head of the manor, Luo Yudie naturally received reports from her subordinates. Pretending to know nothing about what had happened before, she donned a gloomy expression and arrived at the door.

She glanced into the room, and as a woman, she withdrew and sent two of her most trusted lieutenants to investigate.

Confirming Du Lang and Yao Rui were dead, she immediately dismissed the crowd and then, through the Wanli Sound Transmission Stone, reported to the headquarters of Ju Bao Ge in Tian Luo Prefecture.

About two hours later, a huge flying monster landed in front of the Precious Treasure Pavilion, and then several people hurried down from it.

Walking in the front was an old man with white beard and hair, dressed in a black long robe. He was Du Ruhui, the third elder of the Du family.

Behind him followed a young man of about thirty, Du Lang's older brother, Du Bin.

There are also two other elderly men in black, both masters of the Du family.

When JuBaoGe received the report, they immediately relayed the information to the Du family and asked them to send someone to investigate the cause of Du Lang's death.

Several people arrived at the Ju Bao Pavilion without stopping, and rushed straight to Du Lang's room.

"Elder Du, you're here."

Luo Yudi stepped forward and recounted the events leading to the discovery of the body in detail, leaving nothing out.

"Finally, she said, 'Elder Du, although Du Lang is a member of our Gathering Treasures Pavilion, the circumstances inside are not really suitable for a woman like me. So I'll have to trouble you with this.'"

After saying that, she nodded to the two of them in farewell, then led her men away, leaving the entire scene to the Du family to handle.

She was very clear that Ye Bufan would leave no loopholes, which in turn could lessen her own suspicion.

Du Ruhui and Du Bin entered the room with their men. Upon seeing the corpse, their expressions turned extremely grim.

To say nothing else, Du Lang's current appearance is truly embarrassing and a disgrace to the Du family.

Du Ruhui waved his hand and said to the black-clothed old man behind him, "Zhang Lao, check it out for me and see what's going on."

"Yes!"

The elderly man in black was named Zhang Song. Apart from his martial arts skills, he was also skilled in medicine.

He walked up to Du Lang and Yao Rui, first carefully examining the body, then feeling for a pulse, and then probing with silver needles. After checking for a full quarter of an hour, he returned.

Du Ruhui asked: "What on earth is going on How did Du Lang die"

"This…" Zhang Song hesitated for a moment, then finally said, “Elder, according to my examination results just now, Young Master Du Lang died from excessive indulgence.”

"How is this possible"

Du Ruhui's expression grew increasingly grim. For a prominent family like theirs, dying from indulgence would be a shameful affair, especially since the other party were two men together.

Once it gets out, where will the Du family put their face

"Zhang Lao, are you sure you didn't get it wrong How could these two men possibly have overindulged"

“This... Elder, you are indeed right.”

Zhang Song hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he could only tell the truth.

"Judging from the traces at the scene, the two people were engaged in sexual intercourse before they died."

Du Ruhui's face turned ashen. He asked in a low voice, "Even then, it shouldn't have been fatal, right" and good fortune beaming from him. So there's no need to worry about him; he is sure to win this match!Chu Lingxi turned her head and glanced at him a few times. This guy was young, not bad-looking,...
