Chapter 2064: You Can’t Shield a Murderer

Lian Bingmeng was indignant. She didn’t know what was happening with her pearl—she had no way to communicate with it and summon another summoned beast.

“Academy Head, even if Yue Shuangshuang is a student, you still can’t shield a murderer.” Lian Bingmeng said, looking at Ning Shu who was standing in mid-air. “With Yue Shuangshuang’s ability, she could’ve killed Mu Ziqi’s sister. “

“Yue Shuangshuang herself also said that Elder Li wanted to kill her at the time but she escaped. Yue Shuangshuang probably thus harbored resentment towards the Mu family’s miss, and wanted to take revenge. It makes perfect sense.” Lian Bingmeng was now exceptionally full of hatred.

Ning Shu had caused her to lose control of the pearl.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “Just because you lost to me and are now resentful, you’re labelling me as a murderer? Lian Bingmeng, is it possible to be even more tasteless?”

“As I said, I didn’t kill Miss Mu.” Ning Shu said lightly. “If you insist on accusing me with these charges, then I’ll have no choice but to fight for my life. There is no way I’ll let myself be captured without a fight.”

“Yue Shuangshuang, I didn’t think you were so vicious and merciless. Your confession to me failed, so you became resentful and killed my big sister.” Mu Ziqi’s eyes were red and bloodshot.

Ning Shu: …Nutjob.

Ning Shu facepalmed. She felt so helpless. They were the side of justice while she was the villain. Any random excuse they came up with was enough of a pretext for them to kill her.

“I was blinded by dogshit before to like a little pretty-boy like you.” Ning Shu snorted disdainfully.

“Whack whack…” Little Grass swung its vine and whipped the entangled imperial guard.

As soon as Mu Ziqi heard this noise, his expression turned ashen. When he recalled the scene in which he was beaten up, his whole body hurt.

“Old Luo, you’re really not backing up a single inch?” Marshal Mu asked the partly bald old man with a heavy expression.

“Old Mu, in this matter, dead men tell no tales. No one knows how your granddaughter died. It’s best to just let this matter be,” said the old man.

“What if I won’t just let it be?”

“Today, and as long as she’s on academy grounds, you guys can’t take her away.”

Marshal Mu laughed coldly, “Whatever. We don’t have to arrest her, all we have to do is punish her parents for her crime.” Marshal Mu turned around and was about to fly away.

“Capture Mu Ziqi.” Ning Shu said to Little Grass.

Little Grass stretched out its vines to entangle Mu Ziqi with lightning speed and dragged him over.

“You…” Marshal Mu’s expression was furious. “Release Ziqi.”

“I could release him, but you would have to exchange my parents for him.” Ning Shu stepped on Mu Ziqi’s body.

“If my parents suffer any injuries, Mu Ziqi will suffer the same.” Ning Shu said in a stern voice.

Marshal Mu was someone who had woven across the battlefield countless times. He wasn’t frightened by Ning Shu, and said with a light expression, “Are you aware of what you are doing right now?”

“I know that you are the marshal of the empire. You can kill my family, but I might escape. I can come back stronger and take revenge on you. As long as you can’t kill me, I will be like a fish bone stuck in your throat—you won’t be able to sleep or eat in peace.” Ning Shu put on an inspiring and righteous facade, but was secretly thinking about how to keep the Yue family safe.

In the original storyline, the Yue family members had all died.

Ning Shu somehow felt like the storyline was trying to destroy her since it viewed her as an anomaly. That was why she had to face Marshal Mu now.

Marshal Mu was the pillar of the empire with millions of soldiers under his control.

Marshal Mu sneered. No one had ever spoken to him like that before.

“What would you even dare do to Ziqi? You can’t even step out of the gate of the summoning academy.” Marshal Mu narrowed his eyes, staring sharply at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu spread her hands in an unconcerned manner, “Then I won’t step out.”
