Immortality Cultivation Era Chapter 184 Clap Hands for You

Faced with Gao Ge's question, the factotum falls into silence and even becomes flurried.

Shanzhu and the dark-skinned boy look each other in the eye. They both see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Out of their expectation, Gao Ge's confidence to deny the charge comes from that.

Undoubtedly, Gao Ge is quite smart. He uses this way to disclose what happened yesterday, making him and Yan Chao the vulnerable ones. Now there is no adequate evidence to prove that they are the murderers. Even if there is, Daozhi may not just kill them directly. After all, it is not a deliberate murder but a homicide in self-defense.

"Answer the question. What are you hesitating for?" Daozhi becomes furious at the silence of the factotum. He immediately realizes that the truth may not be as he has learned. Faced with the sovereign and other honorable elders, he feels a bit disgraced.

The factotum has no other choice but to keep kowtowing, begging for mercy, "Sovereign, Honorable Elders, please forgive me. It's my fault. I didn't express myself clearly…"

Daozhi says with a stern face, "Now make it clear to us all."

"Okay, okay…" The factotum continues kowtowing for being spared. Then he talks about what happened yesterday slowly.

No embellishment is added at all.

While the factotum is telling the whole story, the sovereign and four honorable elders are quite angry.

"Why would that happen?" The sovereign snorts and asks Yan Chao, "Wangyue, let me ask you. Do you have any grudge against Shanyao and his peers?"

Yan Chao shakes his head and says bluntly, "Although I do know Shanyao and his friends, we don't hang around. Neither have I ever offended them."

"Since so, why did they make trouble for you?" It is Yan Chao's master, Daoyuan who asks the question.

Yan Chao suddenly has no idea how to answer the question.

Daoyuan snorts and continues to say, "There is no smoke without fire. Why did Shanyao and his friends only make trouble for you instead of others?"

Gao Ge feels headache at that.

In his memory, it seems that many teachers like saying that.

In many cases of campus bullying, the teachers who like saying that must bear great responsibility.

In Gao Ge's view, this is the so-called bastard logic.

Therefore, Gao Ge coughs and says, "Third Honorable Elder, I do know the reason."

"Oh yeah?" Daoyuan eyes Gao Ge and coughs, saying, "Since you know it, tell me then."

Gao Ge laughs, saying, "Actually, the reason is quite simple. After all, unlike Yan Chao, others have a master to care for and protect them. If Shanyao and his friends bully them, the victim's master will make trouble for them. That's why they didn't dare to make trouble for others but Yan Chao."

Hearing that, Daoyuan instantly flies into a rage, "How dare you! You mean that as master of Yan Chao, I never show care for him?"

Gao Ge smirks, "I didn't mean that but I do believe that when other masters know that their students are bullied, they will never ask--why do others bully you but not others?"

Even the sovereign can't help smirking.

The other honorable elders are also staring at Daoyuan with disdain.

Obviously, Gao Ge just spoke out their true feelings.

Although Yan Chao is not pleasing in the Heaven School indeed, he is a student of Daoyuan anyway. It is too over to just let him bullied by others. After all, if you want to beat a dog, you must see whose dog it is first.

Daoyuan blushes with embarrassment.

He says angrily, "There is no need for you to judge me!"

"Third Honorable Elder, please don't be angry. If you don't like hearing this, I will stop saying that." Gao Ge says.

Daoyuan keeps gasping, who is staring at Gao Ge with a ferocious look.

Gao Ge also notices that. He feels helpless instantly. He didn't expect that such an old man like Daoyuan just bears grudges so easily. Gao Ge is hated by him now for telling the truth. However, Gao Ge has to do it anyway. After all, now it is not only about Yan Chao but also him. Speaking for Yan Chao is helping himself too.

"In this case, you killed Shanyao and the other two students, just because you were bullied by them?" Daoyuan changes the topic and says, "It was wrong for Shanyao and the others to have bullied you, but you killed them for that, which is a critical crime!"

Gao Ge looks at Yan Chao.

Yao Chao lowers his head dejectedly.

Gao Ge knows that Yan Chao is completely disappointed in his master instead of admitting defeat for the truth being disclosed. After all, Daoyuan is his master. Yet, as master of Yan Chao, he never steps up for his student. Instead, he keeps trying to make Yan Chao and Gao Ge dead when the sovereign and other honorable elders are thinking about the case.

Yan Chao is a smart guy. He knows that he is not pleasing at all. Even his master starts to distance him when learning that he is no longer the young master of the Yan Family.

However, he can't understand why his master has to strike him and Gao Ge at the critical moment.

His master must hate him very much.

"Third Honorable Elder, so you are sure that Shanyao and the other two victims were killed by us?"

"Who else can it be but you? Our students are always united without any fight. However, after you arrived here, Shanyao and the other two students are dead. Doesn't it indicate anything?" Daoyuan says with a sneer.

Gao Ge says laughingly, "Since you are sure that we are the murderers, please show us the evidence. You cannot just announce us guilty because of your assertion."

"If you don't want people to know it, the best way is not to do it. If you admit your guilt now, we may spare your life!" Daoyuan says furiously.

Gao Ge doesn't bother responding to him.

"I also smell a rat in the matter." The sovereign suddenly says.

All the honorable elders look at the sovereign.

"Ahem. I learnt just now that the victims all died in the same way and were killed by one fatal thrust across the neck. Am I right?" The sovereign asks Daozhi.

Daozhi nods his head and strokes his beards, "Yes, you are right."

The sovereign says with a smile, "Since so, the murderer must be a capable swordsman. We know Wangyue well, who practices the fists and kicks of the Yan Family. As to the student of Killer School, I've never seen him carry a sword. I don't think he is a swordsman as well. In this case, how can we say they are the murderers?"

Yan Chao is shocked at the sovereign's words.

He looks at Gao Ge and Gao Ge is staring at the sovereign with a smile.

Yan Chao is quite surprised.

Now he finally understands why Gao Ge has remained calm from the beginning.

Gao Ge is a master in swordsmanship? However, if that is the case, why hasn't he seen him use a sword? Besides, where does he keep his sword?

"Well… Is it that this brat hid his capability and stole a sword in our school?" Daoyuan asks in a tentative tone.

Gao Ge says grinningly, "Third Honorable Elder, you really want to kill us, right?"

"How dare you! As the third honorable elder of the Heaven School, I must be righteous for sure. Moreover, Wangyue is my student. How is it possible that I want to kill you?" Daoyuan says in a deep voice, "However, as the third honorable elder here, I will not let go of any evil person. If the murder is done by my student, I will show no mercy for him in the cause of justice!"

If Gao Ge were not tied up now, he would be clapping hands for what Daoyuan said.
