Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Salas is an Upright Person?Xue Qinghe’s Mansion. Ning Fengzhi and Salas were naturally no strangers to each other. A group of more than ten people walked in under the leadership of Xue Qinghe. Ning Fengzhi brought only Gu Rong with him. Salas, on the other hand, brought two Cardinal Bishops and ten Spirit Temple Knights in silver armor. "Shen An, rest assured. With me, Ning Fengzhi, here, you just need to state the process clearly. I will absolutely not let you be wrongfully accused." The moment Ning Fengzhi spoke, it was clear he was determined to protect Shen An. In the past, Ning Fengzhi would naturally be wary of Spirit Hall. But now, the Sword Douluo was level ninety-seven and had even said he could advance to level ninety-eight within five years. And all of this came from Shen An—’s cat. What’s more, Shen An had a deep relationship with his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He was naturally willing to stand up for him. Salas was expressionless, sneering in his heart. The boy you are trying to protect to the death has long been won over by my Young Master. How could I possibly target him? "I, Salas, have always acted in an upright manner. This time, it is for the sake of a clear investigation," Salas said faintly. "Shen An, let me ask you. Was this killing unrelated to you?" Salas asked in a deep voice. Ning Fengzhi, who had been prepared to refute Salas at any moment, widened his eyes. How could Salas’s opening move feel so strange? Can you even ask a question like that??? Of course, it’s unrelated. Even if it were related, he couldn’t admit it. "Unrelated." "Then state your reasons," Salas said again. "I did not make a move at that time. Besides, Na’er is only a Soul Elder. The opponent used a seven-in-one fusion skill. How could they be defeated by a six-year-old child?" "Therefore, I conclude that the Canghui team died from the backlash of their own soul skill." Shen An presented his prepared excuse. "Mmm, makes sense. Alright, the matter has been clarified. Tomorrow, I will announce that you have not violated the tournament rules." "Sect Master Ning, do you have anything to say about the investigation results?" Salas turned his head and asked. "Wait, I have~" Ning Fengzhi, who was always prepared to sing a different tune from Salas, opened his mouth without hesitation. Gu Rong poked Ning Fengzhi without changing his expression. Only then did Ning Fengzhi realize that Salas was actually letting Shen An off lightly. "Ahem, I have no objection. I think Bishop Salas is very just," Ning Fengzhi, having come back to his senses, said. Could it be that the rumors about Salas in the streets these years are all false? Is he actually a fair and just person? Ning Fengzhi was somewhat uncertain. For him to let go of a genius from an enemy faction so lightly... it was hard to say that such a person was not a just person. "Alright, Sect Master Ning. Next is to go to Canghui Academy." Salas turned and said. In an angle that no one could see, he secretly glanced at Xue Qinghe, as if to say, This old servant did a good job, right? Xue Qinghe also secretly gave him a look of appreciation. Ning Fengzhi followed Salas to Canghui Academy with a silent face. He always felt that something was not right. Putting himself in another’s shoes, although he, Ning Fengzhi, was upright in his conduct, if he encountered a genius from an enemy faction making a mistake, he wouldn’t mind letting the other party be doomed forever. Here, one could refer to Gu Rong seeing Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer, his first reaction being to assassinate him, even at the cost of acting as a Titled Douluo. At Canghui Academy. Soon, Ning Fengzhi realized he was wrong. "Take them away! Lock them in the great prison!" With a single order from Salas, the Spirit Temple Knights brought up the teachers of Canghui Academy one by one, treating them just like criminals. The people of Canghui Academy were dripping with cold sweat. What’s going on? Why didn’t Spirit Hall deal with Shen An, but instead dealt with them? "Lord Bishop, you haven’t even interrogated yet?" Salas looked at Ning Fengzhi at the side and said with hesitation, "Then~ then let’s interrogate a bit?" He suddenly realized that Ning Fengzhi was here, so he still had to go through the motions. Ning Fengzhi maintained his smile. "That is as it should be." "Do you plead guilty?" Salas asked in a deep voice. "Of course we don’t! Lord Bishop, it was Shen An who killed people first!" a Canghui teacher shouted. "Then that’s right. You’ll plead guilty once you’re locked in the great prison." A cold light flashed in Salas’s eyes. As the saying goes, a wild goose does not fly by without a feather being plucked. The reason he, Salas, was where he was today was all thanks to blackmailing and extorting these people. Shen An couldn’t be touched, but these people from Canghui Academy... he had to skim some oil from them no matter what. "Lord Bishop, I refuse to accept this! On what basis?" someone roared. "Daring to be disrespectful to a Platinum Bishop is an added crime. If you dare to argue further, then it’s another added crime!" Salas said lightly. The people of Canghui Academy had faces like dead ash. They could already see that Salas just wanted to mess with them. Ning Fengzhi... he took back his previous evaluation of Salas. That evening, the organizing committee announced that the Heaven Dou Second Team had not violated the competition rules. On the contrary, Canghui Academy had acted with malicious retaliation and had already been taken into custody by Spirit Hall for severe punishment. The qualifiers continued to proceed in full swing. Soon, a total of twenty-seven rounds of qualifiers were down to the last two, approaching the end. Any team that drew Shen An, without exception, all automatically forfeited. Even if Shen An said he wouldn’t fight and would let Na’er fight, these teams were unwilling. It’s not like they hadn’t seen Na’er’s combat power. To be completely defeated on stage by a six-year-old little girl... it was better to just surrender. Escaping is shameful, but it’s useful. Anyway, they weren’t the only ones surrendering. And currently, the teams ranked at the top of the qualifiers were respectively: Heaven Dou Second Team, twenty-five wins in twenty-five battles. Godwind Academy, twenty-four wins in twenty-five battles, having lost only one game because their captain’s heart was on a certain female soul master from Blazing Academy. Tianshui Academy, twenty-three wins in twenty-five battles. Thunderclap Academy, twenty-three wins in twenty-five battles. Shrek Academy, twenty-four wins in twenty-five battles. Under the leadership of the Soul King Tang San, they had only lost to Shen An’s Heaven Dou Second Team. Blazing Academy, twenty-two wins in twenty-five battles. The Elephant Armored Sect, needless to say, their captain Huyan Li had even revealed his soul bone, yet he still couldn’t beat the other elemental academies. The Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Sect was now even with Huyan Li every day, for fear that someone who coveted Huyan Li’s soul bone would come and make a dark move. It could be said that they had lost the lady and the soldiers. This round was Heaven Dou Second Team versus Blazing Academy. The people of Blazing Academy had gloomy faces. They had still been drawn. In a round-robin tournament, every team had to compete against each other. This was unavoidable. In the remaining two matches, their Blazing Academy had to win. Otherwise, their Blazing Academy would miss out on the promotion tournament this year. For them, an old and powerful team, this was simply a great shame and humiliation. However, thinking of Shen An’s strength, they couldn’t help but feel a little desperate. How do we fight? There’s no chance of winning at all. A trace of madness was revealed in Huo Wu’s eyes. Ever since being forcefully defeated by Shen An at the Five Academies Exchange Tournament, she had been thinking of getting back at him every moment of every day. But she discovered that the gap with Shen An was getting wider and wider. Let alone Shen An, she might not even be able to beat the little girl by his side. "We fight! We must fight! Blazing Academy has no such thing as forfeiting! Even if we lose, we lose on the battlefield! Besides, we might not necessarily have no chance of winning." Huo Wu said, chopping nails and slicing iron.
