Hmm! This path looks familiar. He's walked it several tis. Yes, it's in the direction of the academy.
Could it be soone from the academy? Soone with such strength is likely a high-ranking mber of the academy.
Following the old man to a courtyard, Huang Ye was completely stunned.
Damn, how could it be this old fellow? He usually seems so kind and approachable. Truly, you never know soone's true nature.
When he first started interacting with him, he was cautious. But seeing the old man was nice, a respectable ntor, he let his guard down.
But today, the old man made a complete 180. This story is too outrageous.
Screenwriter, damn it, I salute you!
With a leap, he revealed himself.
"Instructor, you're still up so late?"
"Ah! It's little Huang. Why are you here so late?" Old Hu was startled by Huang Ye's sudden appearance.
"No, I'm just getting senile. It seems we just ran into each other. You must be looking for soone else."
With that, Old Hu pointed to Tang Xin's small courtyard.
"Instructor, we didn't just run into each other. I ca specifically to find you."
"Oh, what do you want with an old man like so late? Can't it wait until tomorrow?"
"Instructor, you see, it's not easy for to co here. I just have one question."
"What question? Go ahead."
"Where did you get that mask on your face? I want to buy one too."
Old Hu was startled inside. Damn, he forgot he was still wearing his mask.
No, this kid has never seen my current appearance. How did he recognize ?
"Haha! Little Huang, this mask isn't for sale. I made it myself."
"Hehe, you've got so skills there."
"Not bad, if you like it, I'll make one for you soday."
"I do like it, but I'm more interested in why you're wearing a mask when you go out?"
"Hehe, I was just taking a stroll outside. The mask was freshly made, wanted to see if anyone could recognize ."
"Your hobby is quite the weirdo, strolling all the way to the City Lord's mansion, even climbing over walls."
Old Hu didn't reply, instead, he stared intently at Huang Ye, his mind racing.
How does he know I went to the City Lord's mansion? I didn't notice anyone following . How did he track ?
It seems I've been watched at the City Lord's mansion. It's my own carelessness. After a comfortable ti with Fang, I got a bit complacent and didn't pay attention.
What should I do? This kid even helped when I advanced to Martial Emperor.
I promised to help him once. If he asks to let him go this ti, it'll be a real hassle.
Being exposed is one thing, but if the City Lord hears about it, he'll definitely co after .
Damn it, if worse cos to worst, I'll just get rid of him.
"Kid, have you finished asking your questions?"
"I've finished asking about that, but I see you're quite interested, so I have a few more questions."
"Oh! It seems you're very interested in ."
"Likewise, you're also very interested in ."
Old Hu was taken aback and asked, puzzled.
"We did work together, but since the collaboration ended, we haven't t. Why the interest?"
"Oh! Then why have you been eavesdropping outside my courtyard several tis?"
"Your courtyard? When did I go to your courtyard?"
"Old Hu, haven't you been at the academy lately?"
Old Hu felt like he was missing so crucial information, sothing very important.
These days, he's been in seclusion, breaking through, and only just stabilized his realm. He went to see Fang that night.
During this ti, he's been completely unaware of what's happening outside.
"I've been in seclusion, I don't know what's been happening at the academy."
"Then let tell you, I'm the Third Young Master of the City Lord's mansion!"
"What!" Old Hu almost shouted out loud.
"You're that little fool!"
"You're the fool, your whole family is fools!" Huang Ye was furious at being called a fool.
"Kid, even if you're the Third Young Master of the City Lord's mansion, your words are a bit disrespectful. After all, I'm still your instructor."
Huang Ye didn't respond to this, instead muttering to himself.
"So you didn't know my real na, only that I was the little fool."
"So when you heard my na at the academy, you didn't know I was the one you were monitoring. Even when we collaborated, you didn't show any unusual behavior."
"That's right, I didn't know it was your courtyard. I'm from the outer city, rarely interact with outsiders here, so it's normal not to recognize you."
"I only went to your courtyard to eavesdrop, didn't intend to harm anyone inside."
"Not intending to harm, probably not for that reason. If I'm not mistaken, you've already dealt with Wu Lao Er."
"You, how do you know!" Old Hu was genuinely shocked this ti.
He handled the matter with Wu Lao Er very discreetly, only Fang knew. How did this kid find out?
Could it be that Fang has so unclear relationship with him too? He felt sothing was off.
When he went to Fang today, they just enjoyed themselves, didn't talk about anything. Fang must have hidden sothing.
And this kid entering the academy, Fang must have known. Why didn't she ever ntion Huang Ye to him?
This kid can't be left alive.
"Hehe, if you don't want people to know, don't do it."
"Kid, I was going to spare your life, but it seems you're seeking death."
"Don't be hasty, let die knowing why."
"No need for you to know, you probably don't understand the consequences of angering a Martial King."
"Since you put it that way, we really should have a fight."
"But this is the academy. If you can't kill in one blow, it might attract the Principal. Why don't we fight outside?"
"Heh! You've thought it through. Seems you've already set up an ambush outside."
"Hehe, there's no need for that with you. You can walk ahead, I'll follow you."
Old Hu was also a bit puzzled. How could this kid be so confident?
He only dealt with Jiang Biao, at most a Martial King's strength.
He must think I'm still a Martial King, so he wants to spar, thinking he can escape if he can't win.
No, this isn't that simple, there are many strange things.
Fang initially only asked him to cripple Wu Lao Er. To deal with Wu Lao Er, he went to great lengths to find two won skilled in the art of seduction to send over.
Recently, she ntioned monitoring the little fool, but didn't ask him to cripple the little fool.
It's likely this recent change made her attitude towards the little fool shift, which is why she didn't tell him earlier.
Whatever the reason, he's a dead man anyway.
Maybe getting rid of the little fool will make Fang serve him more diligently.
This kid was still a fool two months ago. Even if he's a top genius, he's just a small Martial King.
He must think he can handle a Martial King. Today, I'll show him what a Martial Emperor is.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, headed out of the city.
