e open an existing wound, causing him to grimace in pain and take a few cool breaths to recompose himself.

Jiang Qinge continued to pour light resonant energy into him to aid his recovery.
She could feel that Li Luo was currently like an exhausted lamp.
If he were to try to summon any more resonant power, he might very well leave behind long term sequelae.

Well, I think Pei Hao is truly dead now, Li Luo said.

Pei Hao himself doesnt mean much.
Whether it was you or me, either of us could have ended him without much trouble.
Jiang Qinges gaze flickered.
However, the Pei Hao we just fought with may not necessarily be the Pei Hao we knew.

Li Luo agreed readily.
When it was Pei Hao himself, no matter what secret art he may have used, it would have been impossible for him to reach the quasi-Duke Stage.
Thus, its likely that a Duke expert personally possessed his body.

Who do you think it could be? Jiang Qinge asked.

Li Luo frowned as he pondered.
The Xia Kingdom is full of Dukes that covet House Luolan.
Its hard to determine who is responsible, but based on my intuition there is one person that stands out in particular.

The two glanced at each other simultaneously and spoke in tandem.

Shen Jinxiao.

Li Luo smiled.
It looks like you and I do have some chemistry after all.
Although my suspicions are placed on Shen Jinxiao, how could he possibly have been the one backing Pei Hao? It all seems a little odd as the two have no reason to work together.

Jiang Qinge shook her head.
That does seem to be true.
Comparatively, the Regent, Duze Yan, Zhu Qinghuo, and the rest are much more likely suspects.
Perhaps our guesses were mistaken?

Li Luo rotated his shoulder in an attempt to loosen up his joints.
Whether or not its true, once the Housemeet ends, we will report him to the college and get them to conduct an investigation.


Jiang Qinge agreed with this plan.
They disliked him to begin with, so shoving more trouble down his throat would be a wonderful thing after all.

Weve basically completely exhausted ourselves.
The rest will be up to Uncle Biao.

Li Luo sighed deeply.
He and Jiang Qinge had managed to stabilize the situation within the house, but things were not over.
There were still external forces that had to be dealt with.

In a dark, secret room.

Pffffft!

Shen Jinxiao spat out a mouth of fresh blood, and he looked frighteningly forlorn.
Before him, the quarter of the heart that remained began to wither, quickly decaying and turning into nothingness atop the altar.

Pei Hao had completely died and he no longer had a medium to work with.

Did I actually lose?! Shen Jinxiao clenched his fists in frustration, his gaze turning sinister.
This result was an affront to him.
As a true Duke expert, he had made years of preparations, and all of it had been foiled by Li Luo and Jiang Qinge.

Thinking of the years that had gone down the drain just like that incited fury within him.

Still, he was a far-sighted individual and was unfathomable in thought.
Thus, he took two deep breaths before calming himself down and suppressing any wayward emotions.

I seem to have underestimated those two brats.
Shen Jinxiaos gaze turned abstruse as he spoke to himself coldly.
However, I wont give up so easily.

As soon as he finished his monologue, his expression suddenly changed.
With a swish of his robes, the altar before him vanished and his body reappeared by the front door of his lodging.
Someone was knocking on it.

Shen Jinxiao expressionlessly opened the door and saw two Violet Vibrance mentors standing outside.

Yes? How can I help you? Shen Jinxiao asked indifferently.

The two mentors observed him closely for a moment before smiling.
Mentor Shen Jinxiao, have you truly been here the whole time and not left your lodgings?

What do you mean? Wouldnt you have known if I left? Shen Jinxiao retorted with a frown.

The two mentors smiled and nodded.
Nothing much to it.
We just had to ask, as per the Vice Principals instructions.
If you dont have anything else to do right now, could you come over for a cup of tea?

Shen Jinxiao leisurely nodded.
Sure.

His blunt reply caused the two mentors to feel more at ease, and they nodded with smiles of their own.
