The night was deep.
In the back alley behind the Imperial Doctor Mansion, Chu Yuan cussed out several local ruffians drenched in blood.
"Wretches! I tasked you with dealing with a fool, yet you botched it. What good are you to the Imperial Doctor Mansion!"
"Master, we didn't expect to encounter students from Qingtian Academy. But we've given that idiot a ruthless beating."
The ruffians explained.
"What use is a beating? He was in the Imperial Doctor Mansion, and when has this master ever shown him a friendly face? I intended to eradicate him before the old grandfather completed his seclusion. Now, great, he's not dead and he's escaped."
Chu Yuan scoffed.
"Don't worry, master, he won't get far. Qingtian Academy does not permit outsiders to enter, so once that student returns to the academy, that fool will end up on the streets. This area is under our brothers' control; he definitely won't make it back to the Imperial Doctor Mansion."
The ruffians vowed confidently.
