Mr. Zhao heard the words but did not get angry; he nodded slightly and said, "I am Zhao Tong, a teacher at Mingde Academy. There was a jailbreak last night, and I followed the clues here. Please reveal your identity!"
He spoke politely, but his muscles were already tensed.
The two of them were no more than two meters apart, ready to strike a lethal blow at any moment.
Just then, members of the Kong Family and disciples from Mingde Academy also ascended the stairs.
One young man saw Li Yan and was immediately taken aback, his expression fluctuating, as he stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Tong, saying, "Teacher, I know this person. He is Li Yan of the Twelve Primordial Spirits, and Kong Shangzhao is being sheltered by them. I estimate he is right in the room!"
Li Yan glanced sideways at this young man.
No wonder he could call out his name; they had met once before.
