The previously peaceful Jixia Academy was now a scene of clamor.
An unbelievable piece of news had spread.
Han Ping'an had fallen!
This was an absolutely major event.
One must know that Han Ping'an's identity and status were extraordinary.
Not only was he the Junior Martial Uncle of Jixia Academy.
He was also Northern Confucian among the Five Great Prodigy Kings.
It could be said that his identity and status were both exceedingly transcendent.
Now, because Jun Xiaoyao had revealed his Sacred Heart of Magnificence.
Han Ping'an's status seemed less unique.
But in reality, it was only slightly inferior to Jun Xiaoyao.
He himself was still considered a pillar of the Confucian School.
Everyone thought that Han Ping'an had merely left in a fit of pique.
Once his anger subsided, he would return.
But now, who could have imagined that Han Ping'an had actually fallen?
Moreover, his fall was extremely abnormal!
Someone received a blood pigeon message from Han Ping'an.
There was only one sentence in it.
"The one who caused my demise is Chu Xiao; he is a schemer, harboring designs on our Confucian School!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was utterly shocked.
Because everyone knew how good the relationship between Han Ping'an and Chu Xiao was.
During enrollment, Han Ping'an even dared to offend Jun Xiaoyao for Chu Xiao's sake.
From this, one could see how close their relationship was.
But now, before his demise, Han Ping'an sent this message via blood pigeon.
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
Within a Hall of Punishment in Jixia Academy.
A group of Disciples from Jixia Academy had gathered here.
All the sirs, including Mr. Yuan, were also gathered together.
And in the great hall.
Chu Xiao stood in place, his face ashen, his expression filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that Han Ping'an would die.
Even more, he couldn't believe that Han Ping'an would slander and frame him before his death.
This was simply like sitting at home and having trouble fall from the sky.
"Chu Xiao, speak truthfully, what exactly is going on?"
Mr. Yuan's tone was extremely indifferent, laced with coldness.
Although Han Ping'an was not from Yan Qinghua's lineage, he was still a talent of Jixia Academy.
His demise was a huge loss for Jixia Academy.
"This… this has nothing to do with me at all!"
Chu Xiao cried out in alarm.
"Brother Han and I are as close as brothers; how could I possibly frame him?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt arose in everyone's hearts.
Because Chu Xiao indeed had no reason to frame Han Ping'an.
"Hmph, you say you're as close as brothers, then why didn't you try to keep Han Ping'an when he left in a fit of pique?"
The speaker was Tantai Mingzhu.
Beside her, Tantai Qingxuan remained silent.
She was increasingly unable to understand Chu Xiao's character.
Especially after he harmed Tantai Mingzhu in the Sacred Realm Space.
"You…"
A flicker of indignation flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes.
This wretched woman had troubled him time and again.
If she weren't Tantai Qingxuan's cousin, Chu Xiao would truly want to secretly get rid of her.
"Cousin Qingxuan, his gaze, it looks like he wants to kill me. Sure enough, he must be the one who framed Han Ping'an, right?"
Tantai Mingzhu tugged at Tantai Qingxuan's sleeve, speaking fearfully.
"You…"
Chu Xiao was truly so enraged that his internal organs felt like they were burning.
White could be twisted into black.
"Chu Xiao, you cannot gloss this over." Mr. Yuan said coldly.
"I truly don't understand the situation. After the Sacred Realm Space, wasn't I always staying in Jixia Academy? How could I possibly frame Han Ping'an?"
"Moreover, even if I wanted to frame him, with my strength, I couldn't possibly kill Brother Han so easily."
Chu Xiao argued.
Upon hearing this, some of the Academy Disciples present nodded slightly.
What he said made sense.
The people present were not too clear about Chu Xiao's true strength, but they also felt that he should not have the ability to kill Han Ping'an.
And at this moment.
Two figures descended from the sky, arriving at the Hall of Punishment.
It was Jun Xiaoyao and Song Daosheng.
Jun Xiaoyao was as he always was, but Mr. Yuan noticed something.
Around Jun Xiaoyao's waist hung an ancient bronze token.
It didn't look very conspicuous.
But when Mr. Yuan looked closely, he gasped!
He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Order Holder!"
At these words, silence fell over the surroundings.
Then all the Academy Disciples also noticed.
"That is the Confucian School Sacred Token! Seeing this token is like seeing Venerable Master!"
"Oh my goodness, this is a status and treatment that even Junior Martial Uncle Han didn't have before!"
When they learned that Jun Xiaoyao had obtained the Confucian School Sacred Token and become the Confucian School Order Holder.
Everyone's minds buzzed.
This was the most noble status in Jixia Academy.
Even the Ten True Disciple Saints seemed very humble compared to the Order Holder.
"Greetings, Order Holder!"
Everyone present, no matter who they were, slightly cupped their hands.
Chu Xiao's heart, moreover, was surging with turbulent waves, accompanied by extreme unwillingness and resentment.
Both had joined Jixia Academy.
Jun Xiaoyao had become the most noble Confucian School Order Holder.
While he was being slandered, possibly about to become a prisoner.
This disparity was a bit too great, practically the difference between heaven and earth.
"Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao is truly too strong…"
Tantai Mingzhu was even more filled with admiration, not knowing what to do.
"As expected of Young Master Jun…" Tantai Qingxuan's eyes were somewhat dazed and blurred.
It was as if this White-robed Young Master, no matter what he did, could reach a level beyond what ordinary people could achieve.
Who, after joining Jixia Academy for less than a year, could become the Confucian School Order Holder?
Looking back through the history of Jixia Academy, not a single one could be found!
"Song Daosheng has generally told me about the situation here. It is indeed regrettable that Fellow Daoist Han has fallen."
"However, Fellow Daoist Han, before his death, sent a blood pigeon message saying that Fellow Daoist Chu is a schemer. This matter truly deserves consideration." Jun Xiaoyao said thoughtfully.
At this, everyone was surprised.
Chu Xiao had provoked Jun Xiaoyao and opposed him time and again.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao remained so fair and just, which greatly surprised them.
"He's actually speaking up for me?"
Chu Xiao himself was astonished, incredulous.
However, he did not let down his guard.
He knew that Jun Xiaoyao was a person with deep schemes, and things would definitely not be so simple.
Sure enough, the next moment, Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Actually, uncovering the truth isn't that complicated."
"If Fellow Daoist Chu doesn't mind, you can open your Sea of Consciousness and let us investigate." Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao's mood plummeted as if into an ice cellar.
Indeed, it wasn't as simple as he thought!
This Jun Xiaoyao was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
What did he mean by opening the Sea of Consciousness and investigating?
Why not just say Soul Searching?
But one must know that this could be said to be the most vicious method.
Moreover, opening one's Sea of Consciousness was equivalent to putting one's life into the hands of others.
If Jun Xiaoyao and the others wished, with just a little trick, his Primordial Spirit and Soul would be affected.
Furthermore, they could even plant slave marks and other means, directly making him Jun Xiaoyao's slave, with his life no longer his own.
Tell me, how could he agree to this?
"Impossible!"
Chu Xiao roared sharply, flatly refusing!
