Shi Hua’s funeral had passed a day, though the white cloths in every grand hall still hung high, and the elders and stewards hadn’t removed their mourning attire, the sect showed no signs of sorrow.
This had to do with how many didn’t really like Shi Hua.
For those who originally shouted to hand Shi Hua over to mourn her was unrealistic.
The entire Celestial Academy probably had only Ji Liangping still bewildered.
Jumping into the Qu Realm, he couldn’t survive, let alone a Body Refining cultivator.
Honestly, initially, he just wanted to help Wen Ping’s favor and lean against a big tree. But later he gradually found Shi Hua was quite good, willing to endure, and kind.
Facing others’ slander, she never complained.
As the disciple of the Academy Head, having authority even elders didn’t have, she could have punished severely as a lesson, who in the academy would dare say anything?
Yet she didn’t do so.
Hence, at this moment, Ji Liangping, while discussing with the elders on how to compose themselves in front of the Dragon God Sect, his gaze still showed sorrow.
The elders gradually fell silent as they spoke more,
knowing perhaps Ji Liangping was not really listening.
Hua Zeyu glanced at the numerous elders, slowly stood from his chair, first slightly bowing, then saying, "Head, the dead cannot come back to life; you should pull yourself together. Shi Hua exchanged her life for the peace of Celestial Academy; you should feel proud of her... Given our academy’s current situation isn’t favorable, if the Head becomes dejected, what will become of our Celestial Academy?"
"Indeed!"
"Head, please be consoled!"
The numerous elders rose to comfort him.
But Ji Liangping looked at them, filled with rage—It was clearly them who sent Shi Hua into the pit, yet pretended to be sincere now.
He initially had contingency plans, but they had to act on their own.
Bang!
Ji Liangping slammed the table and stood.
With furious eyes, he looked around at those elders and his entrusted Deputy Head—Hua Zeyu.
"You’re all a bunch of fools!"
"Utter fools!"
"Why does the Dragon God Sect dare not directly deal with the Immortal Sect and instead come to us at Celestial Academy for a Body Refining cultivator? Does it not cross your mind?"
"Are you pigs?"
