Ye Futian indeed didn't want to keep playing with Luo Junlin . He wanted to solve it by himself but Luo Junlin didn't think like that .
If you use tricks, then I'll do it unashamedly . It began in Nandou and it will end in Nandou .
Before, the Luo family had oppressed him . They thought they were kings and could be high up in the kingdom . Then Ye Futian would now return it to them .
"Okay," Luo Junlin said with a dark face . He accepted the challenge . He was clear that he had to accept . Ye Futian's every word went straight to his heart . Both the Cottage and his teacher would force him to accept . Furthermore, he wasn't untalented . Since Ye Futian was so confident, he would let him have his way .
One month later, they would fight in Nandou Nation . He knew that he couldn't escape from this . Instead of waiting for Ye Futian to mature, he should end it when he still had the advantage of a higher plane .
With the Cottage's reputation in the Eastern Barren Territory, they wouldn't interfere no matter what the result was since Ye Futian had made this request . This was a great chance for Luo Junlin .
"Senior Sister, let's go back," Ye Futian looked back and said to Zhuge Hui . After spending a year in the Cottage, he was familiar with their customs . Not involving relatives was one of their principles . Only the perpetrator would be punished . But if they were protected, it was a different matter .
He'd heard that Third Senior Brother once killed an entire group because someone killed a man but was protected . A group like that allowed people to kill recklessly . Thus, Gu Dongliu had taken the role of god .
"Alright . " Zhuge Hui nodded and smiled . She looked to He Yulu . "If he doesn't appear at the Nandou Nation one month later, I will come to find you . "

With that, the people of the Cottage and College turned to leave . Everyone looked at the receding backs of those people, many thoughts in their head .
This was the Cottage and their way of doing things . If someone tried to assassinate their disciple, they would dig the perpetrator up no matter what . Now, He Xirou, the organizer of the assassination, was dead . The one behind her, Luo Junlin, would soon have a fight to the death with Ye Futian .
Everything seemed to be over for now . The depression shrouding Chaoge City seemed to lighten up as well . However, the Royal Xuan Temple was even more depressed .
Soon after, the people of the Qin Dynasty arrived . Qin Li apologized to He Yulu on behalf of the Qin Dynasty . They had helped the Cottage search for clues and couldn't keep it from the Royal Xuan Temple . However, it was meaningful that they'd come to apologize .
As for what they talked about, no one would know .
Soon after, the Royal Xuan Temple left Chaoge City . Only one disciple was left behind—Xia Luo, the direct disciple of the first lord . After that, the Qin Dynasty announced that the battles would start again .
At the inn, the College and Cottage prepared to leave Chaoge . Liu Feiyang, Ye Wuchen, and the others were all waiting with Ye Futian . At a pavilion, Ye Futian tapped against the stone table . He gazed at Liu Feiyang and asked, "Feiyang, where did you get the news that Chu Yaoyao and Jieyu have issues?"
Hearing this, Liu Feiyang's eyes flashed . He studied Ye Futian . There seemed to be an implied meaning but he knew Ye Futian wasn't suspecting him .
"At a restaurant . Some people were discussing it," Liu Feiyang said . "After that, Wuchen and I went to find you . "
Ye Wuchen was silent . He continued drumming the table .

"Did you think of something?" Liu Chenyu asked .
"It's coincidental," Ye Futian murmured . "How can the Moon Clan's private matters be spread and that you two just happened to hear them discussing it?"
Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu exchanged glances, feeling shaken . "Do you suspect someone else behind this?" Liu Chenyu asked .
"It's definitely He Xirou," Ye Futian said . From the beginning to the end, everything pointed at Xirou and she paid for it with her life . Other than Luo Junlin, no one deserved to be protected with her life . Thus, it must be Xirou . She had kept Hu Tong beside her since long before with murder in mind . Despite this, Ye Futian still felt something was wrong . It was too coincidental .
Liu Feiyang happened to get the news and when Ye Futian left the inn, the attempt happened . If he didn't go out, the assassination would be much more difficult .
Xirou definitely planned it but did someone help her? If that was the case, then something else didn't make sense . Only the people close to Xirou would have known about this . The Royal Xuan Temple wouldn't participate because they had no motive to kill him .
"Hopefully I'm just overthinking," Ye Futian said quietly . He didn't think too deeply . He knew that even if there really was someone behind the curtains, he wouldn't find any evidence . Hu Tong and He Xirou were all dead . How would he investigate?
Ye Futian suddenly smiled and looked up . "Wuchen, will you visit Cangye in one month?"
"I'll try to go back . " Ye Wuchen nodded . The forces of the Eastern Barren Territory would be interested in Ye Futian and Luo Junlin's battle . He could go back to visit his family too .
"I'm sure Lord Ye would want to meet Chenyu," Ye Futian teased .

Liu Chenyu rolled her eyes . "We're leaving . "
"Come to the Liu Kingdom when you have time," Liu Feiyang said to Ye Futian and Ye Wuchen .
"Yes, I'll definitely go when Wuchen proposes," Ye Futian said, grinning . Ye Wuchen was speechless and left soon after . The College and Cottage gradually left . They soared into the air, no longer wishing to take part in the Dongqin College's battles .
…
Qin Li and Xia Luo came to a courtyard in the Dongqin College of Chaoge City . A figure stood quietly before them, smiling at Xia Luo . It was Qin Yu .
Xia Luo walked over and bowed . "Qin Luo greets Uncle . "
Qin Yu nodded with a smile . "Qin Luo, you've worked hard all these years . "
"It's worth it if I can help revive the Qin Dynasty . " Qin Luo shook his head . His true surname was Qin; he was from the Qin Dynasty .
"Yes . " Qin Yu nodded . "Though you're a prince, you were sent out as a child . If the Qin Dynasty can recover its glory, your efforts will not go to waste . "
"Thank you, Uncle . " Qin Luo bowed .
"Since He Yulu left someone behind for talks, it's clear he hates the Cottage . Go back and plan well . You must succeed," Qin Yu said .
"His daughter died . How can He Yulu not have hatred? He should be angrier that he's powerless . His daughter died before his eyes but he couldn't protect her . This powerlessness will definitely transform into hatred for the Cottage . I'm sure he won't refuse if there's any way to fight against the Cottage . My teacher is a bit troublesome but I will try my best . " Qin Luo nodded as he spoke . He'd been behind this assassination all this time . Ever since he found out that Xirou and Luo Junlin hated Ye Futian, he started paying attention to Xirou . That was why that conversation had happened, leading Xirou to act .
Of course, Xirou and Luo Junlin couldn't have guessed anything from that . It had just been a casual conversation .
As for clues, the Qin Dynasty didn't have to look for long . They knew who it was already . However, everything went according to plan . They only had to act as the guide . Everything else was up to the Cottage themselves .
Qin Yu's eyes flashed coldly .
That day, the second disciple of the Cottage had arrived and destroyed the Dongqin College's gate . He had embarrassed the Qin Dynasty but they still cooperated with the Cottage . Did they really think the Qin Dynasty was easy to bully?
"Qin Li, you should quicken things with Chu Yaoyao," Qin Yu said .
"Yes, Father . " Qin Li nodded . Now that Chu Yaoyao was willing to date him, he was sure he could succeed soon .
Of course, he knew that Chu Yaoyao was very smart and wouldn't be like Xirou .
Chu Yaoyao had higher standards too . She wouldn't be satisfied with just being the wife of a crown prince . She knew that relying on men was not permanent and that Qin Li had ulterior motives . But what did it matter if they had the same goal?
