Chapter 520: Committing Treason

The fifty thousand Spiritual Crystals that Qi Hongan promised him not been fully given to him . He was still ten thousand pieces short . If he were to expose everything right now, he was afraid that he wouldn’t get the remaining Spiritual Crystals . Besides, his tolerance of Qi Hongan all these years and his giving up on being the headmaster during these years would be wasted .

“Island Master Zhao, are you thinking about the ten thousand Spiritual Crystals which he still owes you?” Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at Island Master Zhao . She saw through his thoughts and sneered, “He doesn’t have any Spiritual Crystals to give you anymore . ”

A deep furrow appeared on Island Master Zhao’s forehead as he looked at Qi Hongan skeptically .

“I believe everyone here knows that the Solemn Killing Order had been annihilated overnight . However, none of you know the reason why, am I right?” Feng Tianlan sneered and continued to speak, “This is because someone paid a high price to hire killers from the Solemn Killing Order to assassinate me while I was welcoming the Supremacy . There were three Spiritual Kings and twelve Spiritual Grandmasters among the assassins . I don’t have to tell you what is the price for hiring these big shot killers, do I?”

Everyone was surprised . They couldn’t believe it .

Gu Nansheng frowned . She couldn’t help but ask, “If that’s the case, why are you still fine after facing such strong opposition? Besides, Tu Xiupei and Qi Shujie were there as well . It doesn’t make sense for them to assassinate just you . My master isn’t so stupid . ”

“This signed assassination task which the Solemn Killing Order accepted is evidence . ” Feng Tianlan took out a piece of paper and handed it over to Gu Nansheng immediately .

Gu Nansheng took the paper and examined it . The texture was soft . She looked at the content and the unique stamp of the Solemn Killing order on the signature box . “Huainan Paper that is only supplied to the Solemn Killing Order, the unique stamp signatures, ten thousand Spiritual Crystals, Master’s handwriting…”

This was sufficient to prove that her master had sent someone to assassinate Feng Tianlan . Besides, ten thousand Spiritual Crystals as a reward for the assassination would be solid proof .

“I doubted you without verifying the truth . I am sorry . ” Gu Nansheng returned the piece of paper to her . After she said that, she stood aside and stopped interfering with this matter .

Gu Nansheng was highly prestigious in the Flying Frost Pavilion . Besides the words she said, her apology had also been genuine . There were no hints of deception, which made the disciples believe in her absolutely .

“The headmaster really sent someone to assassinate Feng Tianlan! But why?”

“Stop calling her Feng Tianlan . She is our great-grandmaster . Our grandmaster had even gone through the formal discipleship induction with her . ”

“The headmaster turned out to be such a hypocrite . He was really generous with that ten thousand Spiritual Crystals . If he had distributed it out to us, we could have advanced to a higher level . ”

“…”

As they heard Gu Nansheng talking about the evidence of Qi Hongan hiring the Solemn Killing Order, the disciples started boiling with anger . As a headmaster, he stashed away Spiritual Crystals instead of sharing them with his disciples, and still, he wanted them to serve him . That was wrong!

Now, the disciples started rioting, demanding that Qi Hongan hand over the remaining Spiritual Crystals to compensate for their loss all these years .

Feng Tianlan was full of admiration for Gu Nansheng . She was a proud princess who could have looked down on others’, however, she was willing to help those who don’t deserve to die . Besides, she clearly knew the difference between what was right and what was wrong, which allowed people to respect her even more . This was an attitude that many highly-ranked officials didn’t have .

Island Master Zhao looked at the disciples who were ready to riot, then thought about his pathetic situation of having lost his chance to turn his situation around . He couldn’t even claim the remaining ten thousand Spiritual Crystals from Qi Hongan anymore . His uncontrollable greed rekindled once again .

With just a slight push, he could easily push Qi Hongan down . The headmaster position would then be his . Besides, at such a moment, the disciples would believe him even if he mixed some lies in with the truth, right?
