a bluish-gray light curtain.A barrage of cyclones slammed into the energy shield, causing it to tremble violently. Though severely tested, the shield ultimately held strong, deflecting the onslaught.T..."Young Master, this is probably not suitable."

Although Wǔ Yúnzhāo didn't suffer as much as the others, it took him a whole night to expel all the poison from his body. He looked rather pale.

"Master, you mustn't forget that it's the Cangfeng Academy. It's fine if we make a move after their students come out, but if we directly go to capture people, we might anger the entire academy's prestige."

Upon hearing this, Li Tong quickly calmed down. Cangfeng Academy was a prominent institution in the entire Tianfeng Empire, second only to the royal family. Their Li family was just a clan and couldn't possibly compete with it.

With no other choice, he could only suppress the killing intent in his heart: “Fine then, have someone stationed at the entrance of Cangfeng Academy right away. As soon as that kid comes out, we’ll make our move.”

"Yes!"

Wu Yunzhao responded with a sound, then turned and walked out of the room.

Li Tong was alone in the room, his face contorted with venomous hatred. He couldn't figure out where that boy had gotten the poison, it was so potent, simply vicious.

The pleasure of beauty can be enjoyable in moderation, but last night was simply a painful torture. I'm afraid that after this experience, he won't have any interest in women for a while.

In fact, he was still happy, at least he had women to help him detox, while Du Lang didn't have that luck.

In the inner room of the Grand Treasurer of Ju Bao Pavilion at this moment, Du Lang lay sprawled on the floor, his entire body bearing the marks left by endless madness.

At this moment, his eyes were vacant, looking utterly lifeless.

To think that the grandson of a respected elder, the rising star of the younger generation in the Treasure Pavilion, would end up in such a tragic state.

What's most heartbreaking is that this kind of thing can only be borne in silence, and it can't even be shared with anyone, not even his grandfather would have the face to tell him.

Beside him, his trusted subordinate Yao Rui wore an expression of guilt, bowing his head in shame, unable to face his master.

After a while, seeing Du Lang remained silent, he tentatively asked: “Head Butler, are you alright”

"What the hell, get out of here! Don't ever show your face to me again!"

Dulan, regaining his composure, let out a furious roar. The intense anger caused his injured rear to throb, making him grimace in pain.

"Yes! Yes! Master Grand Steward, please take your rest. I'll leave now."

Yáo Ruì finished speaking and fled in a panic. As he stepped out, he bumped into several servants from the Jù Bǎo Gé.

Seeing him like this, everyone looked puzzled and unsure what had happened.

Yao Rui was ashamed and embarrassed, she hurried back to her room.

Dulang struggled to his feet, brushing the broken shards of his clothes away and then pulling on a fresh set.

Just as I finished dressing, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it"

He asked angrily.

As soon as the door opened, Luo Yudie walked in from outside. When she saw Du Lang's pathetic appearance, she was immediately taken aback.

Although this guy wasn't a good person, he at least looked presentable and had some charm.

The scene before him was now completely different. His head resembled that of a pig. If he hadn't been in the head steward's room, he would have found it hard to believe this was the former Dulan.

What's most crucial is that look, that expression...it was truly pathetic. Like a young bride who had been abused for far too long, it radiated unspoken resentment and misery.

Then she glanced again at the mess in the room, sniffed the air, and seemed to dislike the strange smell.

Meanwhile, my mind was filled with confusion, wondering what had happened here.

She originally came here to demand an explanation on Ye Bufan's behalf, but seeing this scene, she knew that the shrewd younger brother had definitely gotten his revenge.

"Yudie, is there anything the matter"

After a night of screaming, Du Lang's voice was as hoarse as a rusty gong, and his words came out in an unbelievably rough and unpleasant rasp.

"It's okay."

Luo Yudie looked at him like this, listening to him speak, her scalp tingling. She directly shut the door and retreated out.

Du Lang was ashamed to the bone, he wished he could just smash his head against a wall and end it all.

He had always been interested in Lu Yudie, but now that he was in this state and caught by her, he was afraid there was no hope for him ever again.

"Damn Ye Bufan, I will never let you get away with this!"

He gnashed his teeth in hatred, blaming it all on Ye Bufan!

Before the Cangfeng Academy, a large tree gathered thousands of people. They all looked up at the several figures hanging from it.

Fan Xiaofeng and Duan Wei, along with a few others, had faces as red as pig livers. They wished they could just disappear into the ground—they were utterly humiliated.

As former stars of Cloudwind Academy, they had once been the center of so much attention. However, it was always with admiration.

And now, people below are pointing fingers at each other, with nothing but mockery and scorn. They've utterly disgraced the reputation we once held.

Especially those female students, in the past when they saw Fan Xiaofeng, who was ranked in the top three on the Heavenly Ranking, their eyes were filled with adoration, like bees seeing honey. But now, their eyes are full of disdain.

No wonder people feel that way about them, they look absolutely miserable. They're completely stripped bare except for a single pair of pants to cover their modesty.

"What's going on Is this Fan Xiaofeng from our college Why is he like this"

"Isn't that him Who knows, this is so embarrassing, I wish I were him I'd rather just die than face this…"

"So satisfying, so incredibly satisfying! These guys were arrogant and unbearable every day. This is karma!"

These people stood under the tree, whispering to each other and discussing things, but no one came forward to help.

As everyone knows, being treated like this must have been caused by offending a big shot. They are all afraid that making a move might bring trouble upon themselves.

Fortunately, the matter did not last long before it came to the attention of the academy. Guan Dechun, accompanied by several mentors, released the four of them.

"What on earth is going on"

Guan Dechun looked at several people in astonishment and asked.

"That...when we went out last night, we were robbed by a master..."

Fan Xiaofeng was too embarrassed to tell the truth. He had to let people know that they were made like this by Ye Bufan, and in the future, they would have even less face to stand in the academy.

He could only make up a lie to get out of it, then he scurried back to his dorm in embarrassment.

After redressing, a few faces turned pale as death. They looked terrible.

"Boss, what are we going to do I can't swallow this!"

Li Yunhe looked furious, gnashing his teeth in rage.

"Damn you! It's all your stupid ideas!"

Fan Xiaofeng was also furious. He raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.

You said so yourself, that kid used some secret technique to boost his cultivation. If we seize the opportunity, we can seek revenge and get the secret technique.

What about the consequences We've lost everyone to the entire academy. How will we ever be able to face anyone again"

"I..."

Li Yunhe was rendered speechless by the beating. Fan Xiaofeng was right, all of this was the result of his scheming.

Originally, it was about revenge and plotting against someone's secret techniques, but in the end, I failed to steal the chicken and lost a handful of rice.

"Alright, boss, you can't blame Li Yunhe entirely for this!"

Duang Wei stepped forward and said, "The most urgent task we have is to find a way to get back the face we've lost."

Fan Xiaofeng said angrily, "We four tied together are not even a match for them. What can we do"

Li Yunhe hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, I have an idea."ed him on his father's concubine's bed and then went to report him.In fact, Father had been secretly poisoned by me before. This poison had no reaction whatsoever on ordinary days, but once his emotio...
