<h4>Chapter 1345: Implicate</h4>


    His every word and sentence was cold to the extreme.


    Jiang Zhiyuan was confused.?<i>W-what’s going on? Even Elder Hua Feng is standing on Shi Rui’er’s side? Hah, that’s right. After all, she is the Flying Star Sect’s Second Miss, a sessor that has a bright future. Compared to me, she is much more outstanding. Even the academy elders are humans, so they will praise the high and mighty and trample on the low and weak, right??</i>


    Jiang Zhiyuan sneered in her heart and couldn’t help but say, “Elder Hua Feng, do you mean that I can’t retaliate even if this nine-tailed green crow is about to kill me? I can only let it kill me?”


    “Stupid!” At the side, the elder with white brows couldn’t help but scold her. “Do you know that nine-tailed green crows live and die as a group!? Once you kill one of them, the other members will chase you till the end! They won’t stop until you die!”


    Jiang Zhiyuan’s expression instantly froze.


    “Why do you think we just ran away and didn’t fight them directly? Do you think that you’re the only one here who has the ability to kill them? Now that you’ve killed one of them, what are we supposed to do with so many of them left?!”


    Huge trouble was caused.


    “We just had to survive for 15 minutes to avoid this disaster! Great, how are we supposed to handle the situation now? Depend on your sneaky weapon?” The elder with white brows was enraged, so his words were very direct.


    Nervousness and terror finally surfaced on Jiang Zhiyuan’s face. “I… But I didn’t have a choice either… It wanted to kill me just now…”


    “I had already summoned the legendary three-eyed eagle. With its suppression… Although it can’t make the nine-tailed green crows run away, it can at least make them fearful.” Shi Rui’er had a cold and harsh expression as she stared at Jiang Zhiyuan with a dagger-like gaze. “If I haven’t recalled wrongly, after the legendary three-eyed eagle came out, the nine-tailed green crow had already stopped its attack in front of you. Yet, you took the opportunity to kill it! Jiang Zhiyuan, do you have no brains, or do you want to drive all of us to our deaths?!”


    Shi Rui’er really hated Jiang Zhiyuan to the core.?<i>This woman is incredulously stupid! We had clearly stated everything openly, and everyone else was doing fine. We just had to wait for a while and pass that time, yet Jiang Zhiyuan came out and caused a hugemotion!?</i>


    Jiang Zhiyuan was scolded until she couldn’t speak, and her face started to burn.


    Shi Rui’er’s words were as if pping her in public as she didn’t leave her any face at all. Yet, she didn’t have any reason to retort.


    ......


    Helpless, she could only look at Elder Hua Feng and cry in desperation. “Elder… Elder, I really didn’t do it on purpose! I was too nervous and scared just now, so I… I-I didn’t know that Senior Sister was saving me just now. I…”


    <i>In that situation back then, I had already disregarded everything. Why would I think so much? Besides, Shi Rui’er has always had an opinion about me. Nobody knows if her intent of saving me is real or fake! If she had acted sooner and summoned the legendary three-eyed eagle from the beginning, why would we end up in such a state? I wouldn’t have had to kill the nine-tailed green crow out of helplessness.?</i>


    Shi Rui’er was very smart and immediately guessed what Jiang Zhiyuan meant as sheughed in mockery. “What, do you mean that you think I acted toote?”


    Jiang Zhiyuan immediately said, “Senior Sister, you’ve misunderstood! I definitely didn’t mean that—really!”


    “You know yourself if it’s true or false.” Shi Rui’er’s lips curled up slightly, and contempt shed across her eyes. “I do dislike you, but it’s not to the point where I would cause myself so much trouble just to teach you a lesson.”


    Her sentence was in and light, yet it was high and mighty.


    Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart felt like it was stifled. Her entire person was extremely ufortable as her tears kept falling. As they touched her bloodstained face, two streaks of tears came down.


    Her miserable appearance seemed like she had suffered a huge grievance.


    Hearing that Jiang Zhiyuan had no intentions of admitting her mistakes, Elder Hua Feng was extremely disappointed.?<i>Jiang Zhiyuan is clearly the one who has caused trouble for us, yet she still acts as if she is the victim. Who is she putting on a pretense for??</i>


    “Rui’er had already helped you. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you’re even doubting her… Jiang Zhiyuan, you’re too disappointing!”


    Jiang Zhiyuan hurriedly defended herself. “No! Elder, I was just—”


    “Ah!!!” A hoarse and ear-piercing shriek suddenly sounded!


    The crowd looked over and saw the nine-tailed green crows quickly flying toward Jiang Zhiyuan.


    Jiang Zhiyuan was petrified as she hurriedly moved back.


    Those nine-tailed green crows stopped not far in front of her. With the dead crow in the center, they formed a circle and kept circling back and forth in the air.


    Soft whimpers could be heard.


    “Elder, we must leave immediately!” Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly.?<i>These nine-tailed green crows are summoning their other nsmen! If we are anyter…?</i>


    “Go!” Elder Hua Feng decided immediately!


    Even if Shi Rui’er summoned her legendary three-eyed eagle now, it was useless.


    The legendary three-eyed eagle could cause them to be momentarily stunned, but now that a nine-tailed green crow was dead, they definitely wouldn’t let this slide!


    Seeing that the crowd was about to leave, Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly got up. “Elder!”


    <i>I have to be with them and cannot be left behind! How can I deal with the nine-tailed green crows alone??</i>


    The elder with white brows coldly scolded, “Nine-tailed green crows bear grudges very well. I’m afraid this won’t be the end of this incident! Jiang Zhiyuan killed that one, and her body still has its blood; she can’t escape at all. If we want to continue going with her, we won’t be able to escape them either!”


    He gazed at Shi Rui’er. “Second Miss, we don’t have to pay for this, right?”


    His meaning was very obvious—they had to abandon Jiang Zhiyuan!


    Shi Rui’er thought for a moment and nced at Elder Hua Feng. “Elder, what do you think?”


    Elder Hua Feng felt very conflicted. On the one hand, Jiang Zhiyuan did cause this incident herself, so she should be the one bearing the responsibility. On the other hand, she was a student from the academy. If they just abandoned her here… he would feel very guilty.


    “Rui’er, you’re all students of the academy, and we wouldn’t want to abandon any of you, so… Why don’t we do this? You can leave first, and we’ll be at the back. After settling these issues, we can gather again when we have the chance, okay?”


    Helplessness shed across Shi Rui’er’s eyes.


    Elder Hua Feng’s suggestion didn’t seem problematic on the surface, but was this not pushing them toward the most dangerous situation? And this was all because of Jiang Zhiyuan.


    “Elder, we can’t leave alone. Since you have decided to bring her along, then we shall. We have so many people, perhaps we can handle—” Once she said this, roars could be heard from far away!


    A patch of dark grayish-green color was swarming toward them from the ce where the sky and ground connected!
