Chapter 263 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
"Captain Chang, should we go and meet up with the cultivators from Lingqing Academy?"
"No need. Ling Qing has split into several teams this year. We should go find Wan Qi Zi Ye. Going to Zhong Heng Shan's team might make us cannon fodder."
"Sigh, if it weren't for Zhao Wuchi leading the team, our academy wouldn't have been eliminated at the start. Fortunately, other academies were all fighting, so Zhao Wuchi's losses didn't create too much of a disadvantage for us."
“Zhao Wuchi is arrogant. Some time ago, he wanted to join Zhong Hengshan. Now, sure enough, the cultivators from the two teams were eliminated first. We are far from Wan Qiziye's location. They are on the glacier map. We might as well grab the supplies first and join them. With these supplies, Wan Qiziye should agree to travel with us.”
"Captain Chang, that makes sense. Let's do it this way. There are more than forty people in our team. We should be one of the teams with the most people in the desert and mountain maps. Even if Xiling comes, they'll have to think twice."
Chang Wuming remained silent in response to his teammate's confident statement.
His idea was simple: dozens of cultivators from Mingyue Academy had been eliminated, and the supplies at the resource point might be a crucial factor in turning their fortunes around.
Chang Wuming did not approve of Zhao Wuchi's brainless behavior, especially after Zhao Wuchi and the entire Sha Liu army were wiped out, he was still unclear about what had happened.
No news came from Zhao Wuchi's team, making it impossible for him to accurately assess the current situation.
Fortunately, a wave of cultivators from Lingqing Academy were also wiped out, which relieved Chang Wuming of some of the pressure.
Chang Wuming did not have the idea of blindly following Lingqing Academy, even though Lingqing and Mingyue Academy had maintained a cooperative relationship in previous years.
However, Chang Wuming was extremely displeased with the fact that the cultivators of Lingqing Academy used them as cannon fodder.
Chang Wuming silently led his team to the supply point. Upon arrival, he discovered numerous signs of a struggle.
"Ling Qing and the others' school badges!"
"Wait, there's also the Xiling Academy's school emblem, and it's still at the supply depot. Could they have had a fight?"
"But the timing doesn't seem to match up."
Some people in the group looked at the school badge on the ground and kept guessing what had happened.
After all, the scene looked like a chaotic battle, with considerable damage caused by various spells alone.
Upon witnessing this scene, Chang Wuming immediately deduced that the elimination of the previous batch of cultivators from Lingqing Academy was likely due to a battle with Xiling Academy.
Chang Wuming pursed his lips as he thought of this.
The news of the Xiling Academy cultivators being eliminated predates that of the Lingqing Academy cultivators. Judging from the timing, it was roughly because Lingqing successfully ambushed Xiling, and Xiling, unwilling to accept defeat, rallied its teammates to fight back.
Chang Wuming pieced together the timelines, piecing them together to form the facts he had guessed in his mind:
"Xiling and Lingqing did fight. It seems that Xiling has the advantage. They might even go after the cultivators from Lingqing Academy."
Chang Wuming carefully examined the timeline and felt that his speculation was flawless.
Jiang He squatted on the tree and silently watched as Chang Wuming picked up the Xiling Academy's school badge from the ground.
At first, there were only the school badges of Lingqing Academy on the ground. Later, after she threw the school badge of Xiling Academy that she had obtained from Hai Chongkong on the ground, only the school badges of Lingqing Academy and Xiling Academy remained scattered on the ground.
She didn't know what the cultivators at Mingyue Academy were speculating about, but when she saw Chang Wuming discover the clues she had lost, Jiang He knew that her plan had succeeded halfway.
Chang Wuming's speculation was reasonable and well-founded, and his teammates praised him one after another:
"Captain Chang, you were a member of the detective agency before, right? Your reasoning is amazing."
"Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect Ling Qing and Xi Ling to fight. Should we go along the route and help Ling Qing and the others?"
"No need. The side that won between Xiling Academy and Lingqing Academy might be back soon. Our priority is to exchange supplies."
As soon as Chang Wuming spoke, everyone rushed forward.
There were quite a few netizens watching the live stream from the supply point. They first witnessed the fierce battle between Lingqing Academy and Wanjue Academy, and then saw the battle between Lingqing Academy end.
Next, the students from the Jingxu Academy arrived at the supply point, exchanged their supplies in less than a minute, and left.
Then there's the scene where Jiang He returns and sets up some signs of a fight, and scatters something on the ground.
At the time, they didn't know what Jiang He had scattered.
The live stream administrator noticed Jiang He's actions and gave a close-up shot of the items she had scattered.
A close-up shot appeared, and viewers in the live stream finally saw that the item Jiang He had scattered on the ground was the emblem of Xiling Academy.
The audience in each live stream room basically changes, and most viewers don't stay in one live stream room for a long time, so they don't quite understand why Jiang He is doing this.
After the netizens heard the speculations of Chang Wuming and others from Mingyue Academy, the live stream chat was silent for a while before people started to speak one after another.
[…I don’t know if I should say this, but I suddenly realize that I might not be so stupid after all.]
I understand what the previous comments meant. I finally know why Jiang He wanted to throw the Xiling Academy's school badge. Damn, Chang Wuming actually believed it?
What? I just came from another live stream. I think Chang Wuming's speculation is very reasonable. There are school badges of Lingqing Academy and Xiling Academy on the ground. Isn't it normal to speculate that the two academies had a fierce battle?
: Normal my foot! Anyone who missed the live stream from 20 minutes to an hour ago, go watch it now, and you'll understand.
So, Jiang He scattered the Xiling Academy's emblem to mislead people, like Chang Wuming, who would be fooled by appearances.
You answered correctly, but there was no reward.
There's a saying, "See through the appearance to the essence!" I feel Jiang He is setting up a grand scheme. You guys hurry to the other live stream room; the cultivators from Xiling Academy have already arrived. Chang Wuming just mistakenly thought that Lingqing Academy and Xiling Academy were fighting...

Viewers were switching between several live streams.
The live stream at Xiling Academy attracted more viewers from the live stream at the supply depot.
[I came here specifically to check out the Xiling livestream. Xiling Academy is really in a bad situation; they're going to have to take the blame this time, hahaha.]
I don't understand why Xiling Academy should be blamed.
There's a misunderstanding; if these two universities meet, there's bound to be a bloody battle.
Why? Why is Xiling Academy being blamed?
I feel like Xiling Academy and Mingyue Academy are bound to fight if they meet. I have to say, Jiang He's use of borrowed knife to kill and frame others is really skillful.
: ? ? ? I'm angry! Is nobody going to listen to me? Why is Xiling Academy being blamed?!
