The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

Qin Yan took a deep breath, looked around again, and then whispered, "I obtained the Black Dragon's inheritance in the secret realm. There is a complete Martial Emperor's cultivation technique inside."

Outside the secret realm's exit, all the students looked numb, still reeling from the destructive power of the calamity.

Their teacher thought they were frustrated because of their poor performance and rushed over to comfort them.

Suddenly, a voice filled with anxiety and panic rang out: "Where is my young master? Why hasn't my young master come out?"

Everyone was drawn to the sound. They looked up and saw that it was Wu Kun, Wu Cheng's guard, making the noise.

Wu Kun searched through the crowd for a long time but couldn't find Wu Cheng. Could it be that something had happened to his young master in the secret realm?

Wu Kun dared not think about the consequences. He shouted anxiously, trying to find Wu Cheng, but no one responded.

Not far away, Jiang Lianyi, who was watching Qin Yan leave, quickly came to her senses upon hearing the sound. She looked at Wu Kun, who was frantic with worry, frowned, walked over, and asked, "What's going on? Wu Cheng hasn't come out?"

Upon seeing Jiang Lianyi, Wu Kun felt as if he had seen a savior. He hurriedly asked, "Miss Jiang, did you see my young master in the secret realm?"

Before Jiang Lianyi could answer, a boy behind him spoke up: "I saw her on the first day I went in. I was with Wu Cheng at the time, but we ran into Ji Yunyao, so Wu Cheng teamed up with Ji Yunyao. I went to find Miss Jiang."

"But later we saw Qin Yan and Ji Yunyao together, but we didn't see Wu Cheng."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Jiang Lianyi's pupils contracted slightly. Then, looking at Wu Kun, she said, "I think Wu Cheng may have already been killed by Qin Yan."

"What?" Wu Kun raised his voice instantly, his eyes widening: "Miss Jiang, you can't say things like that."

Jiang Lianyi snorted coldly: "I'm not making this up. Do you know how many people Qin Yan killed in the secret realm this time? I saw it with my own eyes, no less than twenty. If he secretly killed Wu Cheng somewhere, it wouldn't be surprising."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan hurriedly stepped forward: "I think this might be true. On my first day in the secret realm, I arrived near the Black Dragon Palace, but only half a day later, Qin Yan and Ji Yunyao came over together."

"There was only one person with them named Dongfang Bai. I suspect he might have attacked your young master."

Hearing their words, Wu Kun was already 80% convinced. After all, the Wu family was in the Jiang family's camp, and they had no reason to lie or kill Wu Cheng.

Since the Ji family and the Jiang family are partners, Ji Yunyao would not dare to take action against Wu Cheng.

Aside from all that, there's only one truth left: Wu Cheng was killed by Qin Yan.

Wu Kun's eyes turned red instantly, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, as if he wanted to tear Qin Yan apart.

But the thought of the Qin family's power filled him with despair. He looked at Jiang Lianyi, his voice pleading, and said:

“Miss Jiang, our Wu family has always been extremely loyal to the Wu family. The Qin family has tried to win us over many times, but we have refused. Please, for the sake of our Wu family’s unwavering loyalty, help my young master get justice.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lianyi frowned slightly. She had originally intended to tell Wu Kun about this so that the Wu family could take the lead in causing trouble for the Qin family, but she hadn't expected to end up putting herself in this predicament instead.

Xiao Fan then leaned closer to Jiang Lianyi and whispered, "Miss Jiang, I think we can take this opportunity to make a move against Qin Yan."

Jiang Lianyi tilted her head slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

A sinister glint flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes as he said, "We can ask Martial Saint Wang Chang to take action. After all, he is responsible for opening and closing the secret realm. Let him take Qin Yan away for investigation."
