Chapter 137
Su Liufeng's sudden departure aroused everyone's heated discussion. There was only one day before the competition. He left in a hurry at this time, presumably because of something important.
Regarding this matter, more people have implicated Mo Bai in it. Su Liufeng's departure may have something to do with Mo Bai, and some even speculated that Mo Bai was behind it.
So when Mo Bai walked out of the yard, he found that the people on the road looked at Mo Bai with something strange in their eyes.
But he didn't care. Although it hurt his reputation, he knew that at this moment, winning the game without a fight was more important than reputation, and the elder spirit detective did not show up.
Competitions are very fair, so the academy will definitely send someone to investigate matters like Su Liufeng's.
Mo Bai walked towards a pavilion. It was deserted and extremely quiet. In front of the pavilion was a pond. The water was extremely clear and dense red dots could be seen moving in the water.
That is an extremely precious golden koi. This kind of precious ornamental fish does not exist in Luoying Academy.
He slowly walked up the stairs. There was no cool wind or chirping birds, and it seemed extremely quiet.
There was a person standing in the pavilion, standing with his hands down, watching the fish playing in the pond. This person was Si Yuan Luoli.
When he saw Mo Bai, he bowed his hands respectfully, and his whole body exuded an aura of elegance.
"Brother Mo Bai called me here this time, probably for your next game!" Si Yuan Luoli asked.
This time Mo Bai asked him to come over. Apart from the various rumors that had been circulating throughout the Holy Cherry Academy recently, he really couldn't think of anything else, so he seemed to be questioning, but there was no doubt in his eyes.
Mo Bai came to Si Yuan Luoli's side and looked at the pond in front of him together.
"Now that you've said it, I won't hold back. I want to know if Su Liufeng's sudden abandonment of the competition has anything to do with you?" Mo Bai said without looking back.
"Are you doubting me?"
When Si Yuan Luoli heard this, he smiled lightly. He understood Mo Bai's suspicion very well and had already guessed that Mo Bai might come to him, so he didn't feel unhappy about Mo Bai's suspicion.
"I said, there's only so much I can do to help you, and I've done nothing about this matter."
Mo Bai frowned slightly. If he was doing something secretly, I believe it would be difficult for the college to find out. But if he didn't do anything, what would happen?
"This time Su Liufeng suddenly gave up the game. I want to know what happened. It was such an important game, and it was also a very important moment. How could he leave just as he said so."
"We don't even care about the reputation of the college. It is obvious that this matter is very urgent." Mo Bai said.
Si Yuan Luoli turned his head and said confidently: "If I guess correctly, Su Jun, who came from Luoying College with you, should have left Shengying College long before Su Liufeng."
When Si Yuan Luoli said this, Mo Bai was a little confused. He touched his chin and thought thoughtfully: "I really haven't seen Su Jun in the past few days. Is it possible that he really left?"
He saw Su Jun some time ago, but not in the past few days. He thought this guy was just too lazy to come and didn't pay attention to Su Jun. Now that he thought about it, it was unlikely.
"Su Jun and Su Liufeng are both from the Su family, and they are also from the right line in the family. Their status in the family is not low."
"When I first heard the news that Su Liufeng gave up the competition, I was also surprised. Later I sent someone to investigate and learned the news." Si Yuanluoli said.
"What's the news?" Mo Bai looked at Si Yuanluoli with a questioning look.
"The old man of the Su family has been seriously ill for many years, and his health is getting worse day by day. If it weren't for his profound cultivation, he probably wouldn't be able to survive until now."
"But just a few days ago, Mr. Su's body became weaker and weaker and he was about to die of illness, so the head of the Su family hurriedly recalled all the family members to see Mr. Su for the last time."
"Su Liufeng also hurriedly took a look after the game, and then ran back." Si Yuanluoli said.
Mo Bai took a deep breath. A person with a very high status in the clan was about to pass away. This matter was of great importance to the family.
"What kind of disease is so severe that even Mr. Su can't bear it! Could it be that even Su's family can't solve it? This time Su Liufeng gave up the game, could it really mean that Mr. Su really died of illness?!" Mo Bai
said in surprise.
He knew that as a member of the clan, Mr. Su's cultivation was extremely profound. It was generally impossible for a person like this to be a big shot to get sick. Even if he got sick, with Su's strength, would it be impossible to save him?
"It is said to be a disease to the outside world, but it is actually because he was hit with a hidden weapon during a previous battle, and the poison has always remained in Mr. Su's body. The head of the Su family is helpless about the poison."
"The entire Su family has tried their best to keep Mr. Su alive until now, but if the poison is not removed, it will always be a hidden danger. Until yesterday, Mr. Su died of the poison."
"This is very important to the Su family. Most of the family members have been recalled. This is why Su Liufeng left in a hurry." Si Yuan Luoli said slowly.
Mo Bai frowned slightly. Mr. Su died of poison at this time. The timing was a bit clever, it happened to be when he was about to compete.
In this case, it may arouse others' suspicion.
"Is it really just a coincidence that Mr. Su died of poisoning at this time?" Mo Bai asked.
"How do I say this?"
Si Yuanluoli groaned and continued: "Whether it is a coincidence or not, as long as you are not involved, it is none of your business."
"It's just the rumors circulating in the academy..."
After Su Liufeng left, a lot of rumors spread out of Shengying Academy. These rumors would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the elder spirit detective, which would cause a lot of trouble.
Mo Bai's outstanding strength was noticed by people like them, but his cultivation level was still a bit low after all. Being able to rank at the top proved his potential.
But if we want to go further, it is difficult to say. Su Liufeng leaving at this time has obviously given Mo Bai a great benefit, which some people will inevitably doubt.
Once the rumors spread, it would have a bad impact on Mo Bai's image, which would not be good for him in recruiting people later.
"It's just a rumor, don't worry about it."
"There's not enough evidence, and they can't say anything about me." Mo Bai said calmly, obviously he didn't pay attention to these rumors.
Si Yuanluoli glanced at Mo Bai, with curiosity in his eyes, and said, "He's gone. You won this game without a fight. How will you face the next round?"
Hearing this, Mo Bai slowly closed his eyes. If Su Fei wins this round of competition, then his only opponent will be Chu Liuzhang. But if he loses, he will have to face Yichen first.
Both of them are very strong, no matter who they are, they will be under great pressure.
Si Yuanluoli looked at Mo Bai calmly. He could feel Mo Bai's heavy breathing. Thinking about it, he could understand the burden on Mo Bai.
Mo Bai opened his eyes, sighed feebly, and said, "I'll do my best! The difference in cultivation is there."
"For fourth place, the rewards are also very generous, as long as you can help the Anton Army protect the mansion to rescue the siege."
He slowly stretched out his palm and held it tightly, shaking slightly followed by a feeling of weakness.
Next to the pavilion, Nuo Xi's straight figure stood, observing the situation around her. At this time, she turned her head and looked at Mo Bai, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Anton's army was in trouble protecting the mansion, and she wanted to help, but it was her task to protect Mo Bai, and she had to do it well.
"It's possible to relieve the siege, but it's only temporary." Si Yuanluoli said slowly.
"How do you say this?" Mo Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at Si Yuan Luoli. Si Yuan Luoli's words were very meaningful. He wanted to hear Si Yuan Luoli's opinion.
"The rewards for school competitions do not change much every year. According to the previous ranking rewards, the reward for fourth place is a bonus of 100 million, as well as some panacea." Si Yuanluoli said.
"One hundred million bonus, so much!" Mo Bai said in surprise.
Although this was not a big sum of money for the former Anton Army Guards, for now, it is a huge sum of money and very important.
The Anxi Army Guards Mansion is really extremely rich. It spends such a sum of money as a reward every year. No wonder those people take so seriously the top ten in the competition.
In the eyes of the clan, this money cannot be ignored.
The prize for fourth place is 100 million, so the prizes for the top two will be even more attractive.
"Yes, it's a bonus of 100 million. This is not a small amount of money."
"Nowadays, the Anton Army Guard is weak, while the Black Abyss Empire is strong. The Anton Army Guard has sacrificed many people in the wars in recent years, resulting in extremely serious troop losses."
"If we want to break the siege, we must clear out all the troops surrounding Donggui Valley, but the current Andong Army Guards does not have this strength."
"During this period, the Anton Army Guards House has been relying on the barrier of Donggui Valley to support it. Judging from the current situation, the Anton Army Guard House will not be able to withstand it for long."
"And this money is only enough to buy some elixirs and crystal stones. The remaining money can't recruit many people, and who would be willing to join in this situation?" Si Yuanluoli said lightly.
The foundation of the Anton Army Protectorate is very deep, but the family fortune has been wiped out due to years of war, and the Black Abyss Empire is still very strong, which makes it difficult for the Anton Army Protectorate to counterattack.
War consumes money. The larger the scale, the more money is consumed. Things like the Anton Army Guards Mansion consume a lot of money.
If we recruit people at this time and don’t pay more, who will work for it? So this little money is not enough.
Once the counterattack fails, the Anton Army's defense will remain as it is now.
Mo Bai pondered, he had also thought of this, but it was okay to counterattack, but if there was no income along the way, they might not be able to counterattack for long.
