The two of them hugged and whispered for a while until they heard the other students coming upstairs. Then, they separated.

Yu Huang left Sheng Xiao’s arms and leaned against the railing with him. She pretended to be chatting seriously. The messy footsteps were getting closer and closer. Yu Huang glanced down and saw Xuanyuan Chen and Donor coming up together.

Seeing Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao chatting in the stairwell, Donor didn’t let go of the opportunity to tease them. “Hey, Sheng Xiao, what are you whispering about to your wife? Tell us too.”

Sheng Xiao glanced at Donor coldly. “We’re saying that some people look decent, but they don’t even have a girlfriend.”

Donor naturally knew who this ‘some people’ referred to.

Donor gritted his teeth and decided not to argue with Sheng Xiao.

Xuanyuan Chen stared at Yu Huang and said, “Yu Huang, I saw those revelations on the Beast Tamer website. Was the Grand State Master really interrogated by the Alliance?” Xuanyuan Chen saw those revelations on the website today and couldn’t believe it.

Yu Huang was the Grand State Master’s adopted daughter. Xuanyuan Chen would only dare to believe it if he heard Yu Huang admit it herself.

Mo Xiao’s murder of Dongfang Sile had already become a hot topic of discussion in the cultivation world. Not only was Xuanyuan Chen paying attention to this matter, but all the teachers and students of the Holy Spirit Academy were also paying attention to this matter. When they heard Xuanyuan Chen ask Yu Huang for confirmation, everyone looked at her eagerly.

The news that Mo Xiao had been interrogated by the alliance could not be hidden at all. Now that Xuanyuan Chen had asked in public, Yu Huang could not deny it. Nodding her head, Yu Huang said, “This is true. Currently, public opinion is very unfavorable to our principal. The alliance interrogated the principal under the pressure of the public.”

Hearing this, a dwarf called Band asked Yu Huang, “The people in the post said that our principal is the murderer of Dongfang Sile. Is that true?”

Without waiting for Yu Huang’s reply, Xuanyuan Chen denied it. “That’s impossible! The Grand State Master is compassionate and has predicted disasters many times to save the people. He can’t be the murderer!”

As a citizen of the Divine Moon Empire, Xuanyuan Chen was filled with reverence for Mo Xiao. He didn’t believe that Mo Xiao was the murderer. However, the students of the other continents and other countries didn’t think so.

The short dwarf, Band, squeezed out of the crowd. He stood beside Donor and turned to argue with Xuanyuan Chen. He said, “The principal has indeed predicted a few large-scale disasters and saved the entire continent. But why can’t he be the murderer?”

“In the past, wasn’t Saint Xuan Ye also a Saint who sympathized with the world? At that time, wherever there was a disaster, where there were grievous energy demons, there was Saint Xuan Ye. When Saint Xuan Ye’s true identity as the Blood Peacock was exposed, didn’t everyone find it unbelievable?”

“But what happened? The results prove that Saint Xuan Ye was the Blood Peacock! Perhaps our principal is indeed the murderer.” Band’s analysis was reasonable.

However, Xuanyuan Chen could not hear him slandering the Grand State Master. “Don’t talk nonsense! The truth has yet to be found out, so everyone has to be careful with their words.” As he spoke, Xuanyuan Chen’s hand was already on the Demon Slaying Saber. If anyone dared to continue defaming the Grand State Master, he would draw his saber and slash them.

When the dwarf Band saw that Xuanyuan Chen was so angry, he stopped.

At this moment, Donor waved his hand and advised everyone, “Don’t be agitated. Before the matter is investigated, we definitely can’t be led by the nose by public opinion. Why don’t we calm down and carefully investigate this matter?”

Xuanyuan Chen also agreed with Donor’s actions. He said, “If our principal is innocent, why is all the public opinion and evidence pointing at him? Who is scheming against the principal?”

Who wanted to go against Mo Xiao?

The figure of a faceless man suddenly appeared in Yu Huang’s mind.

She thought of the person she had met in the tomb, the person who called himself the heavens. Yu Huang didn’t understand why she suddenly thought of that person, but her intuition made her think of that mysterious person.

“Su Xuanye is dead, and Caro Zhengyang is also dead. Who in the cultivation world would want to set up the Grand State Master?” Xuanyuan Chen frowned and thought for a few seconds. He said with uncertainty, “Could it be that fiendish cultivator, Ouyang Luo?”

Sheng Xiao shook his head. “It shouldn’t be Ouyang Luo. Ouyang Luo is afraid of Ling Xiao. He is focused on hiding now. How would he dare to cause trouble?”

Everyone expressed their opinions and discussed for a long time without coming to a conclusion.

Mo Xiao had lived for too long, and the students were too young. They had no idea how many people Mo Xiao had offended and how many people whose interests he had harmed.

“Why aren’t you all sleeping? Why are you all gathered here?” Lin Feng appeared on the corner platform between the second and third floor. He snapped his fingers and the lights in the dormitory stairwell were instantly extinguished. “Go back to the dormitory and rest!”

“We’ll go back now.”

Yu Huang was about to go upstairs when she heard Lin Feng say, “Yu Huang, follow me.”

Yu Huang hesitated for a moment before following Lin Feng downstairs. Her eyesight was outstanding, and she could move freely in the dark environment.

When they arrived at the small flower bed downstairs, Lin Feng handed a phone to Yu Huang. “The Grand State Master wants you to call him.”

Yu Huang hurriedly took the phone and called him.

Mo Xiao had clearly been waiting by the phone. As soon as the call went through, he picked it up. “Ah Huang.” Mo Xiao’s voice sounded very calm and comforting.

When Yu Huang heard the Grand State Master’s voice, she instantly calmed down. “Godfather, is everything okay in Jingdu?”

Mo Xiao thought that Yu Huang had seen those things on the internet and was worried about his current situation. He felt relieved and his voice became gentler. “I’m fine. Everything is fine.”

“That’s good.” Yu Huang suddenly glanced at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng understood. He said, “I’ll go upstairs and see if they’re all asleep.”

After Lin Feng left, Yu Huang cautiously set up a soundproof barrier beside her before saying to Mo Xiao on the phone, “Dongfang Sile’s death was a clumsy and despicable framing attempt. I thought that everyone would be able to see through the truth at a glance, but some people really believed in public opinion and determined that you were the murderer.”

“Godfather, public opinion is very unfavorable to you now. There are quite a number of Beast Tamers on the internet who are suspicious of you. Not only that, but even some of the students around you believe those ridiculous conspiracy theories.”

“Godfather, what should we do to clear your name?”

Mo Xiao listened quietly. After Yu Huang finished speaking, he asked her, “What about you? What do you believe?”

Yu Huang didn’t agree immediately.

She pondered for a moment before saying, “I trust my instincts. My instincts tell me that you’re not the murderer.”

Mo Xiao laughed, but he didn’t defend himself, nor did he have any intention of condemning those netizens. He advised Yu Huang earnestly, “Ah Huang, protect your eyes. The Eternal Eye is the only chance of survival for the Holy Spirit Continent. Cultivate it well. When the Eternal Eye is fully opened, all the schemes and plots will be revealed.”

“Godfather.” Yu Huang held her phone tightly. She said, “Don’t tell me such things. It makes me feel…” She felt flustered, as if she was listening to his last words.

Mo Xiao suddenly fell silent.

After a long, long time, Yu Huang heard Mo Xiao say, “This is my tribulation.”

Ah Huang’s eyes turned red.

The tribulation that a prophet talked about was equivalent to death. Mo Xiao was telling Yu Huang that this was his death tribulation.

“Godfather, what can I do?”

Mo Xiao fell silent again. Just as Yu Huang thought that Mo Xiao would hang up directly, she heard Mo Xiao say, “I’ve never married in my life and have no children. If I die, Ah Huang, remember to help me settle my funeral matters. There’s a key on my neck. After I die, go to Rakshasa City’s Bounty Street on my behalf and find the boss of a cafe called Jin Chao Cafe. Hand the key to her.”

“Jin Chao Cafe? Is the boss you’re talking about Senior She Ying?”

Mo Xiao was a little surprised. “You’ve been to her cafe?”

“Yes, she even treated me and Sheng Xiao to her wine.”

Mo Xiao chuckled, and his tone was filled with a sense of helpless doting. “If she treated you to wine, it means she likes you very much.”

“She even asked me and Sheng Xiao to call her godmother. She even asked me to mention her in front of you often.” Yu Huang smiled and teased Mo Xiao. “It seems like Senior She Ying likes you a lot.”

“Don’t call her Senior She Ying.” After a pause, Mo Xiao said, “Call her godmother.”
