Her emotions were somewhat on the verge of collapse; this was a secret buried deep within her heart, unwilling to see the light of day.
For Shi Yu to expose it at this moment was an unacceptable shock to her.
Everyone around looked at her with strange eyes, incredibly surprised, never expecting that the Outer Courtyard's school beauty, Jiang Nannan, was already Xu Sanshi's.
Many people who knew Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi were even more astonished; the relationship they displayed didn't seem that intimate.
"You've gotten together with my enemy, and you still want to control Senior?" Xu Sanshi asked angrily.
Senior had always been completely devoted to Jiang Nannan, but she was very cold towards Senior.
Not only that, but she was also so close to Senior's enemy, Shi Yu. How could Senior tolerate this?
"You... you you..." Jiang Nannan was so angry that her chest heaved violently, tears constantly falling. The strange looks from the people around made her want to disappear.
Jiang Nannan wanted to run away, unable to stay here any longer. As she turned to move, a hand pulled her back.
Looking up, it was Shi Yu who had grabbed her.
"Let go of Shi Yu," Jiang Nannan struggled.
"Wait a moment before leaving," Shi Yu said without turning his head, his gaze fixed on Xu Sanshi with coldness.
The latter also looked at Senior, his pale face showing provocation and boastfulness.
Regardless of whether Shi Yu could ultimately be with Jiang Nannan, Senior was the first person to have possessed Jiang Nannan.
Yan Shaozhe watched quietly; this was a matter between their Academy students, and as the Dean, Senior couldn't say much.
"Why are you holding Shi Yu?" Jiang Nannan didn't understand Shi Yu's intention and was also a little angry. Was Shi Yu planning to keep her here to endure the humiliation?
Shi Yu didn't answer, just disappeared from his original spot.
His disappearance startled many people, especially Yan Shaozhe, who immediately looked towards Xu Sanshi's side and shouted, "Stop!"
Xuan Lao, who was in a corner of the spectator stand, was also startled by this.
Shi Yu appeared close to Xu Sanshi, very suddenly, leaving Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei beside Senior no time to react.
The appearing Shi Yu used all his strength to thrust the Eight Spider Lances behind Senior towards Xu Sanshi.
Senior heard Yan Shaozhe's shout to stop but remained unmoved, insisting on thrusting the Eight Spider Lances.
Xu Sanshi was horrified and wanted to react, but Shi Yu appeared suddenly and moved quickly, leaving Senior no time to respond at all.
Let alone the heavily injured and weakened Senior, even Bei Bei, who was in good condition, couldn't react in time.
"Puchi, puchi..." Several sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh and blood rang out consecutively. Shi Yu used the Eight Spider Lances to pierce Xu Sanshi's body.
Xu Sanshi kept spitting blood, his eyes wide as Senior looked at Shi Yu, his face full of disbelief.
"You... you actually dare... kill Senior?" Xu Sanshi couldn't quite believe that the other party was so bold.
Shi Yu looked at Xu Sanshi with cold eyes: "Shi Yu also couldn't believe Senior would make a killing move, but the emotion of anger drove Senior to do it."
"Before, Shi Yu didn't kill Senior because reason restrained Shi Yu, but now, anger has overcome reason."
"Senior shouldn't have said those things. These words are nothing to Shi Yu, but to Jiang Nan Nan, they are no different from words of destruction."
"Because of Senior's resentment towards Shi Yu, Senior wants to ruin Jiang Nan Nan. Senior deserves to die!" Shi Yu made the Eight Spider Lances pierce even deeper.
Xu Sanshi's face contorted in pain. One of these eight spider legs had even pierced his heart, which was absolutely a fatal wound.
"Senior is seeking death!" Bei Bei was a little slow to react, stunned for a while before coming back to his senses and attacking in anger.
Shi Yu dodged in time, avoiding Bei Bei's attack, and returned to Jiang Nannan's side.
Jiang Nannan looked at Shi Yu in a daze, moved to tears. Shi Yu actually went to such lengths to vent her anger.
"It's okay, that was just a painful experience from your past. Since it's in the past, it's over. You don't need to dwell on it too much."
"Don't worry too much about how others see you, that's not important. What's important is that you live well yourself, live happily," Shi Yu tried his best to force a smile to comfort Jiang Nannan.
People in this era should still be relatively conservative, not to the extent of being able to view having a relationship with someone lightly.
If this were placed in a more modern world, it would actually just be a common occurrence.
Just treat it as having had a scumbag boyfriend; it's normal to have had one bad relationship.
But people of this era might not be able to view it so casually.
For example, Jiang Nannan, her reaction shows that that incident was a nightmarish experience for her, possibly something she can never let go of.
Jiang Nannan was a little stunned at this moment, just nodding subconsciously.
On the other side, Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Lao gathered around Xu Sanshi. Xuan Lao, this peak powerhouse, continuously channeled Soul Power to help Xu Sanshi cling to life.
Someone had already gone to call a healing Soul Master to do their best to save Xu Sanshi.
Many students were shocked by Shi Yu's boldness, daring to kill someone from the same Academy in front of the Teacher and Dean. This was probably an unprecedented event.
Some students who were watching the battle moved, surrounding Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan.
"Jiang Nan Nan, Shi Yu probably can't stay at the Academy. Take care of yourself," Shi Yu said before attempting to use Naruto's Instant Transmission to leave.
"Do you think Senior can just leave like this?" Yan Shaozhe's voice rang out, and a powerful Soul Power enveloped Shi Yu, restraining Senior.
Ordinary Soul Saints or Soul Douluos might not be able to restrain Shi Yu's Naruto's Instant Transmission, but Yan Shaozhe's cultivation was strong, and Senior's move indeed managed to restrain Shi Yu.
Shi Yu inwardly cursed, thinking it was bad. If Senior was left behind, there was no telling how Senior would be treated.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Shi Yu sternly, very angry about Senior's action of killing Xu Sanshi.
"Dean, Shi Yu was just acting on impulse. Please give Senior a lighter punishment," Jiang Nannan stood in front of Shi Yu, anxiously pleading for Senior.
This was all because of her; if not for her, Shi Yu wouldn't have been so angry as to make a killing move on Xu Sanshi.
If not for her, Shi Yu wouldn't even have had any interaction with Xu Sanshi, and the situation wouldn't have escalated subsequently.
All of this was, in the end, because of her. If she caused Shi Yu harm because of this, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"How Shi Yu is handled is not up to you, nor is it up to Shi Yu. It depends on how the Academy Senior Executives decide to handle Senior," Yan Shaozhe said seriously.
There was a hint of disappointment that Shi Yu would resort to killing over the relationship between Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi; Senior was a bit too extreme.
Senior's talent was very good, but Senior's personality was not quite suitable. Whether Senior was worth cultivating still depended on how the other Academy Senior Executives viewed Senior.
How Senior would be handled also depended on the Academy Senior Executives' evaluation and attitude towards Senior.
Shi Yu was taken away by Yan Shaozhe. Only Senior personally taking action to suppress Senior was stable enough to prevent Shi Yu from continuously using Naruto's Instant Transmission to escape Shrek Academy.
Jiang Nannan followed with tears in her eyes, constantly begging Yan Shaozhe to give Shi Yu a lighter sentence, crying like a tearful person.
At this point, she had forgotten the pain caused by Xu Sanshi's words, thinking only of Shi Yu's safety.
"Alas," Zhang Lexuan sighed, not expecting things to develop to this point. She couldn't help but feel a little regret.
