Chapter 692 Expulsion
Shen Ling's voice was full of despair and anger. There was no woman in this world who didn't care about her appearance. Shen Ling was a beautiful girl at the age of a flower. How could she accept her appearance being ruined and becoming an ugly thing?
Zhang Gaoqiu in Linglong Tower was standing in front of the little princess, teasing her. The little princess stood there with a cold face, which made Zhang Gaoqiu feel a little nervous.

But he just couldn't explain to the other party now that he had secretly solved all the troubles while Jinling City was in chaos. Otherwise, if Shen Ling's accident was discovered in the future, his words now would push himself into the abyss.

However, Zhang Gaoqiu did have a very eloquent mouth. He stayed close to the little princess and teased Shen Ling constantly, which really made the gloom on the little princess's face gradually turn into a smile.

But who would have thought that at this moment, a familiar shout suddenly came from outside the door, startling Zhang Gaoqiu, and a creepy feeling rose from his heart: "Shen Ling? That girl didn't die from the fall?"

If Shen Ling hadn't been killed from the fall, he would have been in big trouble.

"Your trouble is here!" The smile on Chai Wenjie's face suddenly disappeared. She walked away with a cold face and no longer paid attention to Zhang Gaoqiu.

Zhang Gaoqiu didn't bother to pay attention to the little princess Chai Wenjie, but walked out of Linglong Tower quickly. After seeing the ugly monster standing in the heavy rain, he recognized the other party's true identity through the other party's breath.

"It's over. She didn't die after falling off the cliff? This shouldn't be possible! How could this happen? Even falling off a cliff can't kill this bitch?" Zhang Gaoqiu's heart skipped a beat. A bad premonition came to his mind. He looked at Shen Ling's bloody face with a look of horror. Then he quickly calmed down and pretended not to recognize Shen Ling's identity. Instead, he asked, "Who are you, ugly bastard?"

"Zhang Gaoqiu! You despicable villain, you still dare to be mysterious here. Don't you know who I am? You damn bastard, you actually pushed me off a cliff and wanted to kill me. Today I want to compete with you to see who is better and who is better!" Shen Ling's mentality collapsed when she heard Zhang Gaoqiu's word "ugly monster". She saw the rain in the void gathered and turned into a sword made of ice, shooting towards Zhang Gaoqiu.

The sword exuded an unparalleled cold air, and wherever it passed, the rain was instantly frozen and turned into ice cubes that fell to the ground.

At this time, Zhang Gaoqiu had already lost the power of his bloodline and was no different from an ordinary mortal creature. How could he resist Shen Ling's power?

Seeing that he was about to be killed by the ice sword and his throat was pierced by the sword, at this moment a wave came from the void, and the ice sword disappeared into the void. A repressive force fell, preventing everyone from using their mysterious power.

"No one is allowed to act without permission in Chongzheng Academy. You two have broken the rules of our Chongzheng Academy. I'm afraid our Chongzheng Academy will not tolerate you. You two should get down the mountain immediately!" Zhou Qiucheng appeared in front of Linglong Tower. He looked at the two of them with a gloomy face, and his voice was full of unquestionable determination.

"Sir, I was not the one who did it. I am innocent. It was she who wanted to kill me. How could I have the strength to fight back? I am extremely wronged. Please look into this wisely, sir." Zhang Gaoqiu felt so wronged. He also wanted to obtain a mysterious item in the pagoda. How could he be willing to be driven away like this?

"Sir, I won't leave! Although I was the first to attack, it was Zhang Gaoqiu who pushed me off the cliff. Luckily I didn't die, thanks to a noble man who rescued me. Shouldn't I come to seek revenge on him?" Shen Ling's voice was full of anger.

Hearing Shen Ling's words, Zhang Gaoqiu's heart moved: "I wonder why she didn't die from the fall. It turns out that she still has some luck. But I don't know which bastard ruined my plan."

But who is Zhang Gaoqiu? How could he admit something like this without any evidence?

He looked at Shen Ling with compassion: "Miss Shen, the love between you and me has long become a thing of the past. Now that our fate has ended, why do you keep pestering me? In order to avenge me, you even deliberately smashed your face. Do you hate me so much? Have you forgotten the sweetness we had in the past?"

At this point, Zhang Gaoqiu said with a sad face: "Why is it so?"

After saying that, Zhang Gaoqiu closed his eyes and faced Shen Ling's piercing gaze with a frank look. His voice was filled with sorrow: "If you hate me so much, just stab me to death with a sword. I will stand here motionless and will never fight back. Just consider it... just consider it as something I owe you..."

Zhang Gaoqiu acted as if he was ready to die. He knew, of course, that as an heir of the Zhang family in Kyoto, how could Zhou Qiucheng allow him to die here?

As expected, Zhou Qiucheng snorted coldly just after he finished speaking: "Enough! I don't want to get involved in the mess between you two, nor do I want to get involved. But if you make a scene in the academy and disturb the peace of the academy, I won't care. You two should go down the mountain to solve your grievances. My Chongzheng Academy is a place for studying and cultivating talents for the court. I will never allow you two to do anything reckless. No matter who is right or wrong between you two, now that you two have caused such a big disturbance in the academy and stirred up a storm in the entire academy, I will not allow it."

"From today on, the two of you are expelled from the academy, and you are not allowed to set foot in Chongzheng Academy again. You are given a deadline to move down the mountain tonight. If you dare to stay, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhou Qiucheng's voice was overbearing and cruel. He didn't give the two a chance to explain, nor did he care who was right or wrong. He just killed them all with one blow.

"Sir..." Zhang Gaoqiu's face changed drastically when he heard this. What was the purpose of his hard work to enter Chongzheng Academy? How could he be willing to be driven out before his goal was achieved?
Shen Ling on the side was even more unwilling because it was not her fault at all. Why was she fired?
"Sir, I don't accept it!" Shen Ling's voice was full of stubbornness.

"I'm not the judge of the case. It doesn't matter to me who is right or wrong between the two of you. The peace of the academy is the most important." Zhou Qiucheng raised his arm to interrupt the words of Shen Ling and Zhang Gaoqiu, his voice filled with a bit of coldness: "If you know what's good for you, leave immediately. If you don't, I will lock you up in the Linglong Tower and suppress you, and wipe out your bloodline power." Hearing this, Zhang Gaoqiu's face changed immediately: "Sir, why are you so unreasonable? I'm afraid that my Zhang family will come to Jinling City to seek justice in the future. My Zhang family will never swallow this anger!"

"Haha, if your Zhang family has the ability, just come over. I, Zhou Qiucheng, am not afraid even when facing the Human King, let alone your Kyoto Zhang family?" Zhou Qiucheng's eyes were full of disdain.

Zhou Qiucheng glanced at the scholars who were watching nearby and scolded them gloomily, "Have you finished your studies? Why are you still here to watch the fun?"

Upon hearing this, all the scholars scattered like birds and beasts, and the area around Linglong Tower suddenly became quiet.

Then Zhou Qiucheng snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the Linglong Tower.

"It's all your fault. Now I'm implicated too." Zhang Gaoqiu turned his head and glared at Shen Ling.

"You despicable and shameless person, I will never let you go!" Shen Ling looked at Zhang Gaoqiu with gritted teeth, a hint of fear in her eyes, but she didn't dare to take action again.

The turmoil ended with both of them being expelled from the academy.

Zhang Chen was sitting cross-legged on the top of a mountain making elixirs, not knowing what was happening down the mountain. At this moment, a fragrant breeze blew over, and Shen Ling in red walked out from the rain. She stood not far from Zhang Chen and looked at him quietly.

Shen Ling was wearing a rabbit mask on her head to cover her shattered face. She was wearing a red dress and it was hard to tell whether it was the original color of the dress or the blood that had flowed from her.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't bother me again." Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Shen Ling, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"I'm just standing here looking at you. Are you so annoyed with me?" Shen Ling looked at Zhang Chen with a hint of grievance in her voice.

"Yes!" Zhang Chen replied indifferently: "The best outcome for me is for you to disappear in front of me."

Shen Ling smiled bitterly under his mask when he heard this: "I came here today to say goodbye to you. I have been expelled from the academy by the teacher. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to meet in the future. Revenge is the only motivation for me to live!"

"Why are you telling me all this?" Zhang Chen still had that attitude of keeping people at a distance.

To be honest, he has no feelings for Shen Ling. He doesn't want to be a scapegoat and doesn't want to have anything to do with Shen Ling.

However, facing Zhang Chen's cold attitude, Shen Ling was unwilling to give in. She wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. She just said helplessly: "Take care of yourself in the future!"

After saying this, Shen Ling disappeared in the wind and rain, and the red shadow faded away in the rainstorm.

Zhang Chen looked at the place where Shen Ling disappeared, and then his eyes looked towards the direction of Jinling City. At this time, the Yangtze River Water God had been enthroned. The Yangtze River Water God and the Xiantian Water God were fighting outside Jinling City. The two sides were fighting hard, and the world outside the city was changing color, with wind and thunder constantly.

“If the Xiantian Water God is smart, he should withdraw now and not continue to pester us. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause. Once Huang Tiandao’s helpers arrive, I’m afraid he won’t be able to leave even if he wants to.” Zhang Chen looked at the sea of ​​thunder in the distance and muttered to himself.

Just as his mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, he saw that the innate water god had indeed withdrawn, leaving only Gu Mingyue standing outside Jinling City, laughing triumphantly. The next moment, he saw Gu Mingyue display his magical powers, and with a tremor of the earth and mountains, he saw that the abyss outside Jinling City had closed again and turned into a flat continent.
