Chapter 34: Blood Debt, Blood Repaid
“Stop crying. Hurry up and tell me exactly what happened,” Liu Yan said, a look of impatience on his face.
Seeing Liu Yan’s impatience, Qin Xue quickly stifled her tears. A look of extreme anguish crossed her face as she said, “That day, I was walking on the street with Senior Brother Liu Qian. Qin Yefeng, thinking there was something between us, challenged Senior Brother Liu Qian. Of course, Senior Brother Liu Qian won, but afterward, Qin Yefeng retaliated and killed him!”
“What?! He killed him just because he lost a challenge? Tell me, how exactly did Liu Qian die?” Liu Yan forced down his surging murderous intent, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he pressed Qin Xue for answers.
“Well, it happened the day before Senior Brother Liu Qian was supposed to return to Holy Sun Academy. He told me he’d recently gained new insights into his Martial Arts Technique and was going to the Black Water Marsh to hunt Demonic Beasts and hone his skills.”
“But after that, I never saw Senior Brother Liu Qian return. At first, I thought he must have had something important come up and had left for Holy Sun Academy without saying goodbye. However, when I arrived at Holy Sun Academy, I found that Senior Brother Liu Qian hadn’t returned, and his Life Jade Handle had been destroyed.”
Qin Xue looked at Liu Yan, speaking with a mix of truth and fabrication.
“If you didn’t witness Liu Qian’s death, how can you be so sure Qin Yefeng was the killer?” Liu Yan’s gaze fixed on Qin Xue’s pupils, scrutinizing her for any signs of deceit.
