The academy's physician dispatched two people to check on Xiao Ling's condition and confirmed her death.
According to the academy's rules, Xiao Ling's corpse was temporarily moved to an empty room in the academy's infirmary, with plans to handle her funeral tomorrow.
Yang Xiao, being Xiao Ling's closest person, naturally followed her to the infirmary.
Zhu Peng was busy arranging to track down the culprit, exchanged a few words with Yang Xiao, said "Accept my condolences," and hurriedly left.
Because it was deep into the night and few knew about this incident, Xiao Ling's friends, classmates, and students were still unaware, leaving only Yang Xiao to keep vigil by her body.
Xiao Ling lay on a simple bed.
Yang Xiao gazed at Xiao Ling's corpse, recalling every moment since they met, especially how Xiao Ling fearlessly shielded him from three swords tonight with her own body, which deeply moved Yang Xiao.
