Faced with Liamson Liang's sharp questioning, Liam Liang didn't dare hide anything and confessed the whole story of how he instructed Simon Shen to poison Leon Huang.
After hearing everything, Liamson couldn't help but sense that this whole mess was somehow tied to the new student Leon Huang—even if it looked like he hadn't been involved at all.
"Big brother, what should I do?" Liam Liang looked at Liamson with a pleading face.
Liamson sighed helplessly. "Just stay here and reflect for now. I'll investigate the matter—if you're truly innocent, I'll help clear your name."
"What if you can't figure it out? Big brother, can you get me out of this hellhole?" Liam Liang begged again.
At this, Liamson's face turned cold. "This time you committed murder—if you can't prove your innocence, don't even think about leaving!"
Leaving those words behind, Liamson swept his sleeve and walked away, feeling more disappointed in his brother than ever.
Back in the advanced student area, he summoned one of his trusted subordinates. "Go investigate Lin Wu and Leon Huang. See if either of them had a hand in the Second Young Master's incident!"
"Yes, Young Master."

Ian Song was flipping through his cultivation notes when a familiar floral scent drifted by. A gentle voice followed right at his ear: "I didn't expect your counterattack to be so fast—and so ruthless!"
Ian smiled at the green-clad girl. "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
The green-clad girl was the same one who had slipped him a paper note yesterday, warning him to be careful.
The green-clad girl rolled her eyes and said, a bit annoyed, "Even if you didn't personally get involved, you're definitely the mastermind behind all this."
"You're making me more and more confused," Ian replied, looking genuinely puzzled.
Seeing Ian's expression, the green-clad girl grew a little suspicious. Could it be he really had nothing to do with it?
"Just a heads-up: that guy's older brother is already involved. He's an advanced student, so you'd better be careful!"
With those words, the green-clad girl drifted away again.
Ian's brows furrowed slightly. He'd thought his operation was perfectly hidden, but someone still managed to catch a few clues. Still, even if anyone investigated, they'd at most reach Lin Wu—and Lin Wu was his soul-bound puppet, so there was no way he'd betray him.
For now, Ian was just curious about the green-clad girl's background. Why did she keep warning him?
