...

"You mean..." Gongsun Yan suddenly woke up.

"That's right." Ou Chuyang's eyes flashed, "It must be someone who sets fire!"

"It is indeed very likely." Gongsun Yan nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Apart from you and me, there are only Uncle Cheng and this little brother left in the swordsmanship. Uncle Cheng and I can eliminate the suspicion."

When the young helper heard this, he quickly decided: "The villain is wronged! Since he came to Gongsun, everyone is happy to bloom. The villain plans to work hard for several years and earn hundreds of taels of silver to marry Cuihua. The villain will never do such a thing..."

Gongsun Yan looked at him and said sternly: "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. If someone instigates you to set fire with a lot of money, you won't have to work hard for a few years and you can go back and marry a wife and live a good life immediately. Isn't it?"

"It's unfair!" The young helper knelt down on the ground with a thud and cried: "The villain and Brother Tie Niu are sympathetic to brothers. Even if the villain's lard is shocked, they will not kill him together. Please let me know clearly!"

"Get up, the arson is not you." Ou Chuyang comforted: "If someone is bribed and arson, you can escape in the chaos. Anyway, such a rapid fire will inevitably burn people beyond recognition, and you can't tell who is who is, and there is no way to investigate. After the fire broke out last night, you have been trying hard to put out the fire and save people. So I can be sure that you must not be the arson."

"Thank you, Master Ou, for your innocence." The young helper kowtowed and stood up.

Ou Chuyang asked again: "What's your name?"

The young helper bowed and replied, "The villain is named Yuan Tiezhu, and he is a fellow countryman with Tieniu."

Ou Chuyang took out a red crystal and gave it to him, "This is one hundred taels. You can take it to an inn and have a good rest. Then go back to your hometown to get married and have children, and live a good life."

"No!" Yuan Tiezhu suddenly raised his chest and said resolutely: "I want to bury Brother Tie Niu and everyone first, and also watch Master Ou catch the real murderer and avenge Brother Tie Niu and everyone! If Master Ou and the young master rebuild the sword material business, the villain will stay and continue to serve."

"Okay! At a young age, loyalty is commendable." Ou Chuyang praised, "This hundred tael is the pension given to you by my son and I. Tieniu and the others. I will ask Uncle Cheng to give it to you later. Please ask someone to take it home for them."

"Thank you Master Ou, thank you Master." Yuan Tiezhu bowed repeatedly and thanked him, then turned around and walked towards the ruins with the curling smoke, "I will go to bury Brother Tie Niu and the others first."

After arranging Gongsun Cheng to deal with the aftermath, Gongsun Yan speculated: "This matter is something that Park Jung-chang did."

"It's not ten, but 100%. "Ou Chuyang's eyes shone coldly, "I must have taken him away for God!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Gongsun Yan hurriedly stopped him and said, "The Academy is here, Park Jung-chang dares not take action against you and me. We don't have to make anger at the Academy because of him."

"Don't worry, it's not time to take his dog's life yet." Ou Chuyang said in a cold voice: "But, let's record the death penalty for death for the time being, and live crime should not be spared easily! If he was allowed to live happily, how could he be worthy of these dozens of lives?"

"What are you going to do?" Gongsun Yan was still very worried. Ou Chuyang's angry look made him feel a little scared. He was afraid that his impulse would lead to a disaster.

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility. Don't interfere in this matter, please do a good job in the aftermath reconstruction." Ou Chuyang said and turned around and left.

...

This fire burned more than 30 shops and houses, burned forty-three people, injured countless people, and caused economic losses of tens of millions. It was the most tragic disaster in the Sword God Academy and the University Town in a century.

Before class the next day, the students also talked about it:

"The fire last night was really fierce, and half of the sky was burning red."

"Isn't it? I heard that hundreds of casualties are so miserable."

"Fortunately, the Academy took action in time and killed the fire with one sword. Otherwise, the consequences would be even more unimaginable."

"I heard that the source of the fire was Gongsun Jiancaixing. Do you guess it would be..."

"Shhh-- just keep some words in your heart, be careful that disaster comes from your mouth."

...

Ou Chuyang sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, completely unaffected, as if the fire was just a simple news and had nothing to do with him.

"Oh! Some people won a fortune by chance, but they were not lucky enough to end up being useless? What a pity..." Park Jung-chang shook his head and deliberately passed by Ou Chuyang.

Yang Manrou followed behind and said sarcastically: "Maybe some people's actions have caused the anger of heaven and people, which has caused natural disasters. Do you think this is retribution?"

"Retribution?" Ou Chuyang suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and glared at Yang Manrou, "Does of innocent lives die with their eyes open, and dozens of dead souls are now on the top of your heads. Sooner or later, you will know what retribution is!"

Yang Manrou's face turned pale, she took a few steps back, and said in panic: "You... you swear by others. What does this matter have to do with me?"

"It has nothing to do with whom, you and I know what it is." Ou Chuyang pointed to the sky solemnly, "When people are doing it, God is watching, and if you do evil, you will die! Just wait for me."

"Ou Chuyang, what do you mean? It seems like I put the fire yesterday." Park Jung-chang still defended himself, "You can't just falsely accus on good people."

"Get out!" Ou Chuyang angrily scolded, too lazy to talk nonsense.

"You..." Park Jung-chang glared at his little eyes and his anger surged.

"Forget it, I just burned two shops, and dozens or millions turned into dust. Don't bother him today." Yang Manrou persuaded Park Jung-chang in time to avoid him being beaten for nothing.

The fire caused a lot of damage to Ou Chuyang, but it would not hurt the bones. All fires could not burn the ore, vermil, black steel, and furnaces, and were basically preserved intact. The biggest losses were the two shops, wooden scabbard hilt materials and a batch of sword-eye gems.

These external things are second to each other. What really made Ou Chuyang's hatred hard to eliminate was the forty-three innocent lives, especially Tien Niu and the others. Although they had not been together for a long time, they were loyal, down-to-earth and willing to work hard, and they had become Ou Chuyang's right-hand assistants. In the end, they were innocently buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Ou Chuyang will definitely avenge this revenge. Ou Chuyang will never let go of those scum that have lost all their conscience and regard human life as mustard.

...

"I believe you have heard of the fire." Before class, Meng Pingsheng said solemnly: "I will remind you again for the last time: the iron rules of the academy will die if you touch it, so you can do it yourself."

Ou Chuyang calmed down and listened to the piano to practice with peace of mind. He did not show any violent tendencies. Revenge is important, but he cannot put himself in it.

The Dantian Qihai rose and fell with Meng Pingsheng's piano sound, and was slowly expanding outward. This was a good thing, but Ou Chuyang was anxious and even had the idea of ​​interrupting the course and focusing on breaking through before talking.

But Ou Chuyang also knew in his heart that this was a great opportunity that others could not get. The continuous expansion of the qi sea in Dantian means that the foundation will become stronger. Once the breakthrough is made, the strength will be absolutely terrifyingly powerful.

Alas... Ou Chuyang is in a dilemma and it is really hard to make a choice.
