The Geared Immortal

The real culprit

/*unedited*/

Shin Jiao is currently supporting Tong Lei who has already been healed with the help of the combined healing power of little Haoyin's and the pod-like effect used by little Bao. So his body has already recovered from his wounds. But right now, Tong Lei is still feeling weak due to blood loss and the lack of Qi in his body.

When a couple of teachers are rushing towards them, Tong Lei knew that Shin Jiao is going to fight back. So he tried to hold him down so that he would not get involved in this mess. But he didn't know that his calm and composed master is already raging in anger.

So when he tried to stop him, only the blur figure of Shin Jiao was left on his side.

This too stunned the teachers who are currently rushing forward. Upon seeing Shin Jiao which is their target is already gone, they turn their attention towards Tong Lei who weakly stood on the spot.

They thought that because of fear Shin Jiao has already run and hide, yet they didn't expect that Shin Jiao would suddenly appear behind them.

With a swift move, Shin Jiao immediately knocks the nearest teacher in front of him.

Thud!

The sound of someone falling heavily to the ground, made everyone stunned.

Nobody expected that a mere gold core student would be able to take out a teacher in primary stages of the infant soul realm with just one move.

But right in front of their eyes, they can see Shin Jiao with his fiery gaze towards the teachers who were supposed to ask before making a move at the two of them.

"Get him! Get him! He dared hit a teacher! Kill him! Kill him!"

Suddenly someone from the crowd shouted.

This has already annoyed Shin Jiao for the last time. Though he didn't want to bother with this, yet these people have annoyed him. Plus he can feel the killing intent from this person. So he decided to sneakily kill this person.

So as the teachers attacked Shin Jiao he suddenly threw a punch to one of the teachers and from inside his robe, pointed the barrel of the handgun in that person's head.

As the punch collided, Shin Jiao pulled the trigger.

Because of the strength of the teacher and that teacher was prepared, Shin Jiao was overwhelmed and was thrown like a cannonball towards a wall.

"Che, a mere student thinks that you can rebel against us, teachers! Do you think you can just cause trouble and not suffer the consequences? This research facility is where many teachers spend their time, but you two just wasted that and burn everything up. I won't let you go." The teacher that came in contact with Shin Jiao said in anger.

When Shin Jiao heard this from the ground, his anger has subsided a little. It seems that the teachers are just worried about the effort given by the other teachers and that the research was just burned down for nothing, so they felt a little angry.

"Sigh… I guess I can't turn my anger to these teachers." Shin Jiao sighs in his mind.

But suddenly someone from the crowd shouted.

"Ah! Some… someone is dead! Someone was killed!"

"Help! Somebody died in here!"

The crowd shouted in panic, as they formed around the person who is lying on the ground with blood flowing profusely from his head.

From the look of that person, he is still smiling sinisterly and that he seems to have no idea that he has already died before he knew it.

This commotion made the teachers stop on their tracks and turn their attention to the dead student. They didn't expect that there would be a murder case in the academy even though there are many people around.

The teachers began to do the investigation but to no avail. It seems that the weapon used was a piece of a metallic object which has scattered inside the head of the victim.

"Teacher, we can do a soul search." Suddenly Shin Jiao suggested to one of the teachers near him.

"Hmm… but I'm not that proficient with that skill." The teacher replied.

"It doesn't matter, the student is already dead. So you don't have to worry about anything." Shin Jiao insisted.

"You're right."

Then the teacher walks towards the body which made the other teachers frown in suspicion of what that teacher wanted to do.

"I will do an open soul search, please assist." The teacher said.

"But teacher he is…"

"He's already dead. We need to find who the culprit is. Nobody move! All students should stay!" the teacher shouted.

And open soul search is where the infant soul realm cultivator shows what he sees within the mind of the person. If the person is alive then this would be a very dangerous activity as it would make that person turn into a fool. But since the victim is already dead then there is no worry. And with the strength of an infant soul realm, they can show or see at least a day of that person's memory.

So the teacher slowly approached the body of the victim.

Suddenly before the teacher can touch the corpse, someone walks out of the crowd.

"Teacher, I think that's unethical. You should not invade someone's soul like that." The figure of Sai Wu walks out from the crowd.

His imposing aura made everyone turned silent.

As a part of the royal family, his status is high compare to all of the students.

Actually he was just hiding within the crowd and waiting for the show to blow up. But when he heard that they are going to do a soul search he suddenly felt a little afraid. There are things that he didn't want the teachers to know. Even though he is a part of the royal family, this didn't mean that he can do whatever he wanted in the school without any consequences.

So he felt a little afraid that his secret would be found out by the teachers. Because that person is one of his people and if they knew that he's the one creating the discord, it would be disadvantageous for him.

"Master Sai Wu seems to be hiding something." Suddenly Shin Jiao said with a smile.

When Sai Wu heard this he immediately became angry.

"What do you mean by that Shin Jiao? Don't think that because you help the crafting department I would let you go?... I Sai Wu would never let anyone step on the face of the royal family." Sai Wu shouted.

"Oh! How about if I let them search him?" suddenly a female voice from the crowd appears.

Then the crowd parted to show a beautiful young woman calmly walking forward.

"That's the youngest daughter of the Ouyang family… this is troublesome."

"It's senior sister Fey Ouyang… I heard she was the genius who tops the war tactics competition last year."

The crowd suddenly whisper to each other.

When Sai Wu saw Fey Ouyang he was dumbfounded and has a tinge of fear clearly written on his face.

"Se… senior sister Fey Ouyang, how have you been? What… what brings you to our department?" Sai Wu suddenly asked with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Senior student Ouyang, sorry for the delay. I've been stuck in this problem… I will finish crafting your weapon after this." the teacher who was supposed to do the open soul search said.

"It's okay teacher Ki, I'm not in a hurry. This matter took my interest so I wanted to see what's really going on in this place," she said while folding her arms.

Her two healthy twin peaks seem to almost burst as she hugs them with her slender arms.

The beauty of Fey Ouyang made every male student in the area almost drool in admiration. The combination of the cute and mature bearing of a woman made her very attractive, coupled with her hot figure is truly a feast in the eyes.

But no one dared run their imagination wild as her temper is as hot as her body.

"Teacher, you can do a soul search. I assure you that no one dared oppose." Fey Ouyang said with a domineering voice.

"Shit! Shit! I really want to kill this woman. Why would she appear at this time?" Sai Wu thought that he began to panic.

The man called teacher Ki squatted down and slowly chanted something as the light slowly formed in his right index finger. Then he pointed it to the dead student's forehead while 3D like scene appears on top of it like a holographic image.

Although it was without a voice, save teacher Ki is the one who can hear everything. The people around them can see different faces of students as they seem to be discussing something. Then the figure of Sai Wu appears while he seems to be instructing something to the students. As teacher Ki listens to their conversation he began to frown and anger suddenly showed in his face.

Then he suddenly stopped the soul searching as he suddenly stood up.

"Prince Sai Wu! What you did today is a disgrace to the entire crafting department. I will make sure that you will face the appropriate sentence for your crimes." Teacher Ki thought.

He was enraged at what the pompous prince has done, and he would not let it go. He too was a little ashamed that he was used by a mere student because of his anger.

He then turns to looks at Sai Wu, but suddenly discovers that he is already escaped.

"Teacher Ki, why did you stop the search?" Fey Ouyang asked.

But the teachers already knew why. They already knew the heavy implication of this matter when they saw the figure of Prince Sai Wu in the memory of that student.

"Everyone is dismissed." Teacher Ki shouted and nodded to the other teachers.

With that signal, the other teachers began to disperse the students.

"Teacher?"

"Miss Ouyang, this matter can only be dealt with by the principal and the dean of the school. I need to go now and report to them. I will be delaying the crafting of your weapons, for that I am sorry." Teacher Ki said as he cupped his hand and turn to leave.

"It's okay teacher Ki, take your time… I'll be staying here." Fey Ouyang said playfully as she skips towards Shin Jiao and Tong Lei's location.

When she saw the two a smile appear on her beautiful face, which dispelled the mature aura she's been showing a while ago.

"Hello! Nice to meet you." Fey Ouyang said with a playful smile.

Looking at her smile, Shin Jiao could not help but feel deep in his heart that there might be trouble coming their way.
