After Gu Ying and Jun Wu Xie had left, Gu Li Sheng thanked Wen Xin Han another time. Although he wanted to save Fan Jin, he did not possess enough power. But since Jun Wu Xie had been able to make Wen Xin Han lend a hand, that was no longer an issue.
“In the days to come, we will need to trouble Senior Wen with looking after Fan Jin for a period.” Gu Li Sheng asked sincerely.
Wen Xin Han nodded and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Li Sheng found himself standing in the suddenly empty office, his body still all tensed up. Jun Wu Xie had not shared much more other than to ask Wen Xin Han to bring Fan Jin away from here. But Gu Li Sheng knew that Jun Wu Xie must have an incredible counter move planned up her sleeve and that realisation made his blood rush and incredibly excited. His fists were tightly clenched as he anticipated for the day to come as soon as possible.
That evening, when Gu Ying and Jun Wu Xie were having dinner, Gongcheng Lei suddenly came running in, his face pale as a ghost.
“Young Master Gu! There’s trouble!” Gongcheng Lei shot a glance at Jun Wu Xie sitting at the side and he then turned his eyes to look at Gu Ying anxiously.
“Oh? What happened?” Gu Ying asked slowly as he looked at Gongcheng Lei. Ever since the meal yesterday, Jun Xie had refused to go over to eat together with Ning Rui. Gu Ying did not mind it as after finding out that Jun Xie did not give the slightest reaction to seeing Fan Jin in his wretched state, he had quickly lost interest in using such methods to taunt Jun Xie anymore.

Gongcheng Lei paused a moment to glance at Jun Wu Xie again and turned his eyes back to Gu Ying, looking very hesitant to speak.
“Just spit it out.” Gu Ying said imaptiently.
Gongcheng Lei gulped before he said: “Wen Xin Han is bringing Fan Jin away from here!”
Gu Ying’s eyebrow raised in alarm and he said: “What did you say?”
Gongcheng Lei said: “He is now where Fan Jin is imprisoned and the Headmaster has already gone to stop him. But Wen Xin Han’s power….. I’m was afraid the Headmaster will not be able to stop him and so I came to tell you.”
Gu Ying’s eyes narrowed and he stood up quickly. He was just about to leave when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Would Senior want to go see as well?” Gu Ying asked as his gaze turned to fall upon Jun Wu Xie, his mouth curled up in a smile.
Jun Wu Xie put down her bowl and chopsticks unhurriedly and she looked at Gu Ying’s brilliantly smiling face. She got up slowly and replied: “Sure.”
Gongcheng Lei immediately led Gu Ying and Jun Wu Xie over in a rush. And after the three of them left, the little black cat that had been hidden in a dark corner suddenly leapt out into the open, and ran quickly towards the outside of the Zephyr Academy!
The front of the building that Fan Jin was locked up in was filled with the Zephyr Academy’s disciples. All of them were craning their necks and their ears were pricked up curious to find out what was happening.
Wen Xin Han had brought the fully muddled Fan Jin and come downstairs. Ning Rui, Nangong Xu and a few other teachers of the Zephyr Academy were blocking Wen Xin Han’s way out.
Wen Xin Han’s dominatingly oppressive presence caused many of the disciples’ hearts to be overawed.
They realised they were looking at the only person to have attained the purple spirit in the past hundred years!
A large majority of the youths had already had their hearts set on seeing Wen Xin Han but to no avail as after Wen Xin Han came to the Zephyr Academy, he seldom showed himself. The expectant youths did not dare to intrude into Wen Xin Han’s rest and they could only hope in anticipation for an opportunity. The chance came at last after waiting for so long that Wen Xin Han had made an appearance and once the news spread, every single youth in the Zephyr Academy was attracted here.
And the trip they made here was rewarded with a good show!
Wen Xin Han was holding the completely muddled Fan Jin under his left arm. Throughout the entire Zephyr Academy, everyone knew clearly Fan Jin for what kind of a guy he was and there wasn’t one who didn’t know him. Although his reputation had taken quite a beating when he chose to protect Jun Wu Xie before her name was cleared, after Gu Li Sheng stepped forth to explain it, Fan Jin had quickly regained his position as the popular and respected Senior once again.
But…..
At that time, Fan Qi was murdered all of a sudden and Fan Jin was accused of being the one who murdered Fan Qi!
The rapid twists and turns of the events confused and shocked many disciples. There were those who cursed at Fan Jin for being unscrupulous in order to get his hands on the position of Headmaster, and there were others who doubted the truth behind the matter.
Wen Xin Han had now brought Fan Jin out to appear before everyone and the sight of Fan Jin made all of them gasp in shock.
The once tall and jovial youth was seen to be completely aware of his surroundings and his once bulky body was emaciated and thin as sticks. He was so weak he couldn’t even walk without Wen Xin Han’s assistance, with his cheeks sunken and his eyes vacant and unseeing. Fan Jin seemed oblivious to all the ruckus around around him.
Both the believers and unbelievers had after witnessing the wretched state that Fan Jin was in recoiled in shock!
[Is that really Fan Jin?]
[How did he become like this?]
If Fan Jin of the past was worshipped and envied, the opposite was true now where he was pitied and sympathized with…..
Wen Xin Han was insistent on taking Fan Jin away and Ning Rui could do nothing more than to try his best to persuade him otherwise.

Chapter 712: Dominance of a Purple Spirit (2)
“Senior Wen, since you believe that Fan Jin is innocent, why are you in such a hurry to bring him away from here? Do you know once he leaves, he would never be able to clear his name of having killed his own father for life?” Ning Rui said anxiously. Although Fan Jin had lost his mind, but as vast as the lands were, who knew whether one person existed who would one day cure Fan Jin? What’s more, the person taking Fan Jin away was the highly revered Wen Xin Han!
As a purple spirit, Wen Xin Han would only need to say the word and all the doctors and medical practitioners would flock to him like bees to honey!
One thing baffled Ning Rui. Why did Wen Xin Han suddenly want to bring Fan Jin away from here? He knew the reason that Wen Xin Han had not made any moves for so long was because he wanted to preserve Fan Jin’s reputation and name!
Exactly what was it that had made Wen Xin Han change his mind?
Wen Xin Han stared piercingly at Ning Rui. Although Ning Rui was trying desperately to curtail the anxiety in his heart, and he was putting on a good show of being deeply concerned for Fan Jin, Wen Xin Han had however still been able to detect a very slight trace of panic in his voice.
Wen Xin Han did not know who killed Fan Qi, but Ning Rui’s actions were making him feel highly suspicious of his intentions.
“If Vice Headmaster Ning is willing to continue investigating into it and clear Fan Jin’s name, it will be the best anyone can ask for. But if you are not willing, that is not something that Fan Jin in his current state cannot live without anyway.” Wen Xin Han countered. Fan Jin was in a worse state than he had thought. He was glad that Jun Wu Xie had asked him to bring Fan Jin away from here quickly.
Ning Rui was was starting to panic and his eyes kept looking outside.
“For Senior Wen to be taking the Headmaster, Fan Qi’s murderer away just like this, do you really think it is appropriate?” Gu Ying walked out from within the crowd. Gongc
heng Lei immediately went to stand beside Ning Rui and the two of them exchanged a glance as Ning Rui’s heart finally settled a little.
Wen Xin Han’s brow creased up when he saw that Gu Ying had rushed over here.
“Whether Fan Qi was killed by Fan Jin remains to be proven. Calling him the murderer here like that should be what’s inappropriate.” Wen Xin Han disliked Gu Ying. With the first words that Gu Ying had just uttered upon coming here, he had already slapped onto Fan Jin, the accusation of being a murderer.
Wen Xin Han noticed Jun Wu Xie standing among the crowd soon after. Jun Wu Xie shot him a gaze and Wen Xin Han turned his eyes back to the front.
Jun Wu Xie had told him to get Fan Jin out of this place no matter what.
“Yet to be proven? Senior Wen, what you are saying is rather funny. Only Fan Jin and Fan Qi were alone in the room at that time. When Gongcheng Lei went in there, Fan Qi was already dead, and the sword that killed Fan Qi was gripped in Fan Jin’s hand. If that still does not prove that Fan Jin murdered Fan Qi, then I really do not know what kind of proof Senior Wen expects to have before you will believe Fan Jin is the murderer.” Gu Ying was laughing as he walked to come before Wen Xin Han, standing directly in Wen Xin Han’s path. His eyes swept over Fan Jin’s motionless form and Gu Ying continued to say:
“Could it be that Senior Wen is covering up for Fan Jin? Even knowing that he has killed the Headmaster, you are still insisting on taking him with you?”
Gu Ying was trying to corner Wen Xin Han. He wanted to drag Wen Xin Han into the mud together with Fan Jin.
Wen Xin Han was nevertheless still calm and composed. Having received Jun Wu Xie’s signal, he did not have to be concerned with anything else except for the task he was given.
“What is the truth and which are the lies, only time will tell. Fan Jin has fallen into such a state now and as his elder, I cannot allow myself to sit back and do nothing about it. No matter what, I will take Fan Jin away from this place today.” Wen Xin Han felt that he has said enough, and Gu Ying has a wicked forked tongue. If Gu Ying was allowed to continue, he will only cast Fan Jin into a worse light.
And the pitiable Fan Jin had lost his mind, being completely incapable of even defending himself.
“So Senior Wen is insisting on shielding this murderer?” Gu Ying narrowed his eyes and asked, his eyes glinting dangerously.
“If I want to take him with me, who dares stand in my way! ?” Wen Xin Han laughed, and his body was suddenly covered with a flare of bright purple spirit energy!

Volume 8
Chapter 713: “Dominance of a Purple Spirit (3)”
An overwhelming and oppressive wave of power swept over everyone the next moment. All the disciples of the Zephyr Academy found themselves soaked in cold sweat. The suffocating oppression drew their breaths out of them and their faces all turned pale, while their chests constricted as if gripped by within the invisible hand of a giant, as they struggled to breathe!
That was the oppressive aura of power from a true purple spirit!
With the exception of Ning Rui and a few others, all the other people were seen to be swaying unsteadily in their spots under the suffocating aura of power released by Wen Xin Han.
Ning Rui had never dreamt that Wen Xin Han would employ such domineering methods to bring Fan Jin away from here. Although Wen Xin Han had been protective of Fan Jin, but he had always been mild mannered and gentle all this while. The Wen Xin Han before his eyes today seemed to have completely changed. He did not even want to explain much and had immediately released his terrifying power of his purple spirit!
Gu Ying stared at Wen Xin Han, and his eyes raged. He narrowed his eyes a moment and he finally took one step back.
“Since Senior Wen is insisting on rescuing Fan Jin with complete disregard of the truth shown in this matter, there is no way anyone of us will be able to stop you.” Upon finishing his words, Gu Ying bent his back slightly and stretched out a hand with his palm opened, in a gesture to “invite” Wen Xin Han to proceed.
Wen Xin Han stared at Gu Ying as he propped Fan Jin up to leave. All the disciples quickly opened up a wide path in terror and not a single one among them dared to utter a single word.
They all watched Wen Xin Han depart and they were finally released from that invisible oppressive force on their bodies. The sweat drenched Ning Rui hurried over to come stand next to Gu Ying and he asked anxiously: “Are we letting him take Fan Jin just like that?”
Gu Ying sneered at Ning Rui saying: “If you think you have what it takes to stop a purple spirit, you can go do it yourself.”
Ning Rui was properly stumped and he did not say a word more, but only stared at Gu Ying with his still pale face.
[He, go stop a purple spirit? Ridiculous!]
[The only one here who would be a match for Wen Xin Han was only Gu Ying alone and that was why he had ordered Gongcheng Lei to go bring Gu Ying here. Gu Ying arrived, but he had not expected Gu Ying to allow Wen Xin Han to leave with Fan Jin that easily.
“With Wen Xin Han having rescued Fan Jin from us, if Fan Jin were to regain his consciousness one day and spill the beans, that would be disastrous for us!” Ning Rui was extremely worried and very nervous. But as many of the Zephyr Academy’s disciples were around them, he could only say it in a hushed whisper.
Gu Ying smiled. “You think Fan Jin is able to recover from that?”
Ning Rui was stunned.
“The reason I spared him his life was not for him to give me any trouble. No one in the Lower Realm is capable of letting him regain his consciousness. Moreover….. even if he does wake up one day, so what? Even if he told everyone the truth of the matter, would anyone believe him?” Gu Ying retorted.
After hearing Gu Ying’s words, Ning Rui was finally placated.
[That’s right! Fan Jin has been branded as the murderer who killed Fan Qi. Even if he stood forth to speak up in his own defence, people will only think he is lying to protect himself and not believe a single word he said.]
“We do not need to fear Fan Jin. But as for Fan Zhuo, when are you going to find him?” Gu Ying asked with a note of impatience in his voice. As long as Fan Zhuo was still alive, Ning Rui would never be secure in the Zephyr Academy’s Headmaster’s seat, and he would remain unable to deploy the entire student body in the academy to go down the Heaven’s End Cliff. That was something that Gu Ying did not wish to see.
“I have gotten more people to look into it, but besides Fan Qi and Fan Jin, no one seems to know where Fan Zhuo has gone….. But….. maybe Jun Xie knows! Some time ago, Jun Xie had left the Zephyr Academy together with Fan Zhuo and this time, they had left the academy one after the other. Maybe, he might very well know something about it!” Ning Rui exclaimed excitedly when he suddenly recalled that Jun Xie and Fan Zhuo had gone out of the Zephyr Academy that first time.
Volume 8
Chapter 714: “My Move (1)”
After hearing what Ning Rui said, Gu Ying turned to look for Jun Xie within the crowd. But he was stunned that even after all the Zephyr Academy’s disciples had dispersed, he still did not see Jun Xie anywhere!
A shock jolted Gu Ying’s heart at that moment and his body turned into a flash of light as he went to every corner of the Zephyr Academy grounds at his top speed but was still unable to discover any sign of Jun Xie!
How was that possible! ?
An ominous feeling of dread crept into Gu Ying’s heart. He immediately went to the Spirit Healer faculty. But when he got there, he found that the entire faculty grounds were completely empty.
Gu Li Sheng and all his disciples had disappeared without a trace and the Spirit Healer faculty grounds looked just like a
ghost town.
[Boom!]
Gu Ying’s mind exploded in a whirl as he thought back to all of Jun Xie’s actions the past two days. He did not find anything out of the ordinary but among Jun Xie’s common and day to day actions, there had only been two incidents that had cause for suspicion. And that was the private meetings between Jun Xie and Gu Li Sheng…..
Jun Xie had met with Gu Li Sheng twice within the two days and adding them up together, their meetings had not even come up to a single hour. The rest of the times, Gu Ying had had his eye fixed on Jun Xie, watching him like a hawk and he had not expected that anything untoward would happen.
But today, Wen Xin Han had acted completely out of character and Gu Ying had not noticed it earlier, but it now dawned upon him as he pieced together all the actions of Jun Xie after he came back and he came to an astounding realisation!
Wen Xin Han strange and abnormal behaviour had happened only after Jun Xie’s return!
A terrifying thought rose into Gu Ying’s mind suddenly.
Ah Jing’s disappearance, Wen Xin Han’s abnormal behaviour, and the sudden departure of everyone in the Spirit Healer faculty….. All these incidents must have something to do with Jun Xie!
“Jun Xie! I have really underestimated you!” Gu Ying’s face was twisted up in malicious rage and his jaw was tightly clenched as he stared at the wide and empty Spirit Healer faculty building.
He would never have dreamed that a moment’s slip in his judgement of Jun Xie would bring about such a disaster!
In a rage, Gu Ying came to Ning Rui’s office and kicked the door open with a crash. He grabbed at the collar of the confused Ning Rui and said menacingly: “Gather all the disciples of the Zephyr Academy immediately and bring them to the Heaven’s End Cliff!”
