"As for you, let the city guards deal with you! Remember, you are not suitable to be a bad person. Your best choice is to plead guilty and get a short-term punishment. When you get out, just be a simple ordinary person! "
Faang Cheng gave the young assassin a very pertinent suggestion.
"I..."
The young assassin wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, he remained silent.
"Master Fang, why did you ask us to come here?"
When the patrol team members saw Faang Cheng, they asked respectfully.
"Hmm, this person... is trying to attack our Spirit Cultivation Academy together with the corpse you just cleaned up at the entrance of the alley. Luckily, we arrived in time and saved the students. Otherwise, the consequences would have been extremely severe. That middle-aged assassin was killed by me while I was chasing him. This young man has the intention to surrender himself. You can punish him according to your discretion."
Faang Cheng explained the situation to the patrolling team members. At the same time, he also pleaded for mercy on behalf of the young assassin in order to reduce his sentence.
"Alright, we understand. We will bring him back to the city patrol team to interrogate him. We will inform you of the final result."
The city patrol team members hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Having always respected Faang Cheng and believed his words, the members of the patrol team took the young assassin away and returned to the patrol team.
Faang Cheng looked at the backs of the city patrol team members as they walked away, then turned to look at Lee Zhaowen.
"That Shang Yun should have already rested enough, right? Let's... go and see him?"
Faang Cheng took the initiative to say.
"Alright, let's go."
Lee Zhaowen nodded, as if he had sensed something different from Faang Cheng's tone.
Shang Yun had been given a single room. He seemed to have just woken up and was sitting on the bed, staring blankly and vacantly at the window in front of him, as if he had no idea where he was.
"Master Shang, have you rested well?"
The voice that came from the door made Shang Yun stop his thoughts. He turned around and looked at the door.
"I have rested well. Please wait a moment."
He could already tell that the person speaking at the door was Faang Cheng. He immediately got up and went to open the door, only to see Faang Cheng and Lee Zhaowen standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.
"Is Master Shang rested? I was wondering at the door whether our coming to you would disturb your sleep."
Faang Cheng said to Shang Yun with a smile.
"Ah, no, no. I've been awake for quite a while now. Even though I've been out in the open for such a long time, I'm already very tired. However, maybe it is because I have been nervous and depressed for a long time, so I can't sleep for a long time. That is quite a painful thing to do. "
Shang Yun shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, then invited Faang Cheng and Lee Zhaowen into his room and let them sit at the table.
"Before I went to sleep, the teacher from the dormitory sent me some tea. When it was delivered, it was hot, but now it's already cold."
Shang Yun poured two cups of tea for them with a teapot and a cup. However, when he poured it out, he realized that the tea was already cold.
"It's alright. Let's just treat it as cold tea and drink it."
Lee Zhaowen smiled as he took the teacup and took a sip without any disgust. They did not have such a strong tea culture. They emphasized that one must drink hot tea. Cold tea also entered the mouth, but it was just a little more bitter.
"We have caught the two assassins who attacked you. Master Shang, you don't have to worry about being hunted anymore."
Without waiting for Shang Yun to return to his seat, Faang Cheng went straight to the point.
Shang Yun's hand, which was holding the teapot, paused for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at Faang Cheng, only to see that Faang Cheng was also looking back at him. He immediately retracted his surprised expression and put on a surprised and relieved expression.
"Really? They've all been caught? That's great. I don't have to hide anymore."
Shang Yun's tone was filled with unconcealable surprise.
"Then... Did they tell you why they wanted to kill me? Or did they tell you who wanted to kill me?"
Shang Yun looked at Faang Cheng curiously and seriously, waiting for his answer.
"I haven't asked that yet. I killed the older middle-aged killer while he was on the run. The young killer is still alive."
Faang Cheng spread his hands and said indifferently. Then, he also took a sip of the cold tea.
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Shang Yun seemed to slowly heave a sigh of relief as he retracted his body and stopped leaning forward. It was obvious that he was anxious to know the result.
"I am still curious though. I asked the middle-aged assassin before he died, but he didn't give me an answer. They said they came to kill you on the order of the young lord. However, you were not killed by them. Their mission was not completed. That is something I can't figure out. Now that I think about it, you are one of them. After all, they have been chasing you. Do you know what they want? Why do they want to go into the forest when the mission is obviously not completed and you are still alive? "
Faang Cheng asked curiously.
When Shang Yun heard Faang Cheng's words, he could not help but be stunned on the spot. He lowered his head as if he was deep in thought. There was not a single sound coming from his body. Instead, he lowered his head and quietly pondered over what Faang Cheng had just said.
"What's wrong? Did you think of something?"
Seeing how quiet he was, Faang Cheng could not help but ask.
"Huh? No, I was just wondering why they left just like that. They've been chasing after me all this time, so why are they leaving now?! Maybe... maybe they thought I was too hard to get, so they gave up. Or maybe they thought it was even less likely they'd try to kill me after I got into the Academy. They couldn't attack the Academy and get me out of here, so... they gave up trying to kill me."
Shang Yun raised his head and analyzed Faang Cheng's face.
"Hmm... Indeed, we are also inclined towards the latter possibility."
Faang Cheng nodded in agreement.
When Shang Yun heard Faang Cheng agree with his second statement, an unnatural expression appeared on his face.
