After repeated pushback, Xu Qingnian and Bai Qinghe finally left the palace.
"Bai Qinghe, I didn't expect you to be quite good at acting. The way you looked just now, I really thought you were going to have a fight with me!"
Xu Qingnian smiled crookedly and said nothing. Wang Ranran, who was curious, looked at the strange look of the two of them and muttered: "Elder brother, what are they talking about? It's weird."
Zhang slowly shrugged, glanced at Bai Qinghe and said to Wang Ranran with a smile: "The two of them had such a fierce quarrel just now, but it was actually for Emperor Shang to hear, so that Emperor Shang thought that he himself had brought about the crisis in the academy.
So in the end Emperor Shang let them both back."
After Zhang finished speaking slowly, Wang Ranran suddenly realized.
"It turns out that two seniors can also play this kind of trick..."
After Xu Qingnian and the others walked more than ten miles, they slowly asked Zhang beside him: "What happened in the academy? Did the people from the Ye Mei Sect say anything?"
Zhang slowly thought about it carefully, and then said to Xu Qingnian: "That man also brought a letter."
When Bai Qinghe heard a letter, his ears twitched slightly, and his expression suddenly became more cautious: "What letter? What did it say?"
Zhang slowly turned sideways and glanced at Wang Ranran, only to see that he had been playing with the black and white chess pieces in his hand, so he sighed and said: "Well, Lao Qi shouldn't be that kind of person. The main thing written in that letter is Haotian Pavilion
People from the Ye Mei Sect were sent specifically to cause trouble in the academy so that the academy would have no time to take care of the affairs of the palace. The most important thing is that they actually know that the master is not in the academy at this moment."
Xu Qingnian heard what he meant, nodded casually, and said without any hesitation: "Indeed, the master you are thinking about has already thought about it. Do you suspect that Haotian Pavilion has also infiltrated into the academy, and more
Do you suspect that there are traitors among the disciples in our academy?"
Xu Qingnian said this, which shocked Wang Ranran who was playing with the chess pieces. He quickly looked ahead and was about to leave the imperial city. He immediately asked: "Senior Xu, do you have any real evidence for what you said?"
Zhang slowly looked at Wang Ranran strangely and asked, "Of course not yet. Why are you so excited? Are you the traitor who was inserted into the academy by Haotian Pavilion?"
Zhang slowly joked, and Wang Ranran was so angry that he almost turned his back and said sternly: "What did you say? I am a traitor. If I were a traitor, I would not kill so many people in Haotian Pavilion, let alone hurt
People from the Ye Mei Sect, what do you think of me? I was surprised and excited because I just wanted to tell you that if you suspect a disciple in the academy, you must think carefully. Once other disciples in the academy know about it, the academy will be in chaos.
, and the ultimate goal of Ye Mei Sect is to cause chaos within our academy!"
“If you don’t have complete confidence or complete evidence, it’s better not to say it casually.”
Wang Ranran's words are not unreasonable, and Bai Qinghe also nodded: "Indeed, Wang Ranran is right. If we start to intervene in the investigation now, it will not only cause chaos within the academy, but also easily cause all the Qi cultivators on the continent to be
The readers have lost their inherent respect and trust in our academy."
"The consequences will be huge."
Zhang Manman's words actually caused Bai Qinghe and Wang Ranran to react so strongly that they looked at Xu Qingnian inexplicably at a loss.
Xu Qingnian nodded seriously and said: "Zhang Manman is right. This matter is indeed very serious, and it also involves risks."
"Then just do it first and let Wang Ranran observe it secretly."
Wang Ranran never expected that he would receive the unfortunate news in the end.
"Me? The academy is so big. How can I observe in secret? If other disciples find out that I am sneaking around all day long, it will actually become a problem."
Hearing Wang Ranran's words, Xu Qingnian looked sad and didn't know what to do. At this time, Bai Qinghe said: "This matter cannot be rushed at all. Now Haotian Pavilion has not taken any action against the academy, but only sent some Ye Mei Sect members.
It’s not worth mentioning that someone is here to cause mischief, so let’s wait until Master comes back to talk about it!”
There is no other way. Now there is no other way except waiting for the Master to come back. Xu Qingnian and Zhang Manman said in unison: "In that case, let's wait until the Master comes back to discuss it. Let's go back to the academy as soon as possible."
In a short time, they arrived at the gate of the imperial city and flew towards the academy with their Xuantian Infinite Rulers.
On the other side of Puyang City, Zhou Tian and the others got up early in the morning after a night's rest. When they just walked down the stairs and wanted to have some breakfast, they found that the first floor of the inn was empty. Even the clock was up.
The waiter is not here either.
Zhou Tian looked at the sun outside the door, how could there be no one at this time?
So he shouted: "The shopkeeper? Waiter?"
After shouting many times, no one responded. The more Zhou Tian thought about it, the more something was wrong, so he hurried upstairs and returned to the room.
Because they were given a superior guest room, there were four beds in the room, which was just enough to accommodate the three of them.
He whispered in Su Xinghe's ear: "Hey! Old Su! Second brother!"
Su Xinghe reluctantly opened his eyes, sat up and stretched. When he saw it was Zhou Tian, he rubbed his eyes and looked out the window: "Third brother, look at the gray weather outside.
, why did you get up so early?"
Zhou Tian leaned close to his ear and said: "There is no one downstairs. I suspect there is something fishy. Please tell me to get up quickly. We will leave right away!"
After hearing this, Su Xinghe looked at Zhou Tian with his mouth open, and asked incomprehensibly: "Third brother, why are you always making such a fuss? It's early in the morning, the shopkeeper and other staff must still be asleep, of course not
I will appear on the first floor for you to see, so there is no need to rush or worry."
Then he lay down heavily and put the pillow over his ears, not wanting to continue listening to Zhou Tian's ink marks.
Zhou Tian had no choice but to take his weapons in his hands and walk downstairs. At this time, Su Mohan had already woken up, but he just didn't want to expose his brother.
"Brother, are you awake?"
Su Xinghe saw that Su Mohan had already gotten up, and simply packed up before heading out. Su Xinghe hurriedly called out: "Brother, where are you going so early?"
This question made Su Mohan completely angry. He said to Su Xinghe: "Third brother obviously discovered the problem and asked you to go and have a look, but what about you? You are lazy, huh!"
After that, he turned around and followed him downstairs.
Su Xinghe looked at Su Mohan's back with a confused expression, feeling at a loss and had no choice but to follow him down.
But when he went downstairs, he discovered that Zhou Tian was no longer there, and there was indeed no one around him. When Su Xinghe saw this scene, he felt regretful. If something unexpected happened to Zhou Tian because of this, he himself would have to resent it.
My whole life.
"Are you down?"
At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the inn. It turned out to be Zhou Tian. He had just left the inn and searched around. What surprised him was that this time he was absolutely sure that something must have happened in Puyang City, because
The streets have returned to the way they were when they first entered the city. It would be better to leave as soon as possible before anything happens.
Su Xinghe said nothing and hurriedly followed Zhou Tian. Just when the three of them were about to leave Puyang City, a group of people suddenly stood at the gate of the city, and the faces of this group of people looked very panicked.
Zhou Tian squeezed through the crowd to find out why there were so many people gathering at the city gate, and judging from their outfits, they must be the people inside the city.
Just when Zhou Tian rushed to the front, Zhou Tian suddenly took a breath of cold air.
He quickly turned around, came to the back of the crowd, and said to Su Xinghe and the others: "Let's go quickly, otherwise the fight will be more dangerous, and the person coming from Haotian Pavilion this time is definitely something you didn't expect."
After saying that, Su Mohan smiled crookedly and said, "Third brother, your current skills and cultivation are superior to mine and your second brother. There are only a few Haotian Pavilion disciples, what do you have to be afraid of?"
Seeing that they were motionless, Zhou Tian whispered impatiently: "Of course three or four people won't be afraid, but do you know how many people are at the front of this crowd?"
Su Xinghe looked at Zhou Tian's nervous and apprehensive look, and curiously squeezed through the crowd, then turned around and walked back in less than an instant.
"Brother, there are hundreds of people, and they all wear masks and armor. What the third brother just said is right. Let's leave quickly. Judging from their aggressiveness, they should be here for the city lord."
Su Mohan didn't want to squeeze in and take a look, so he said to Zhou Tian and Su Xinghe: "I don't know how many gates there are in Puyang City. Third brother, ask them where else they can go besides the main gate! Besides,
We killed the city lord, it was all our doing, what should we do with the remaining people? Just leave like this?"
Before they finished speaking, the people in front of them suddenly shouted, as if they were frightened by something, and scattered in all directions. Several people died on the spot.
Zhou Tian clenched his fists and looked not far away. Su Mohan was shocked. He had never seen so many people from Haotian Pavilion. They looked like they were spies from Haotian Pavilion.
Su Xinghe took a look and smiled: "Brother, don't worry, third brother, there are just a hundred spies, they are easy to deal with!"
After saying that, he quickly ran towards the Haotian Pavilion spy. Su Mohan was about to stop him, but it was already too late.
With three punches and two kicks, Su Xinghe had indeed defeated hundreds and dozens of Haotian Pavilion spies, but these downed spies were not harmed at all and stood up one after another.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Tian quickly said to Su Mohan: "Brother! Do you know how to form a barrier? These Haotian Pavilion's spies are probably the puppets of Haotian Pavilion. They cannot be killed at all. Quickly set up a barrier to prevent Su Xinghe from getting hurt."
!”
Su Mohan was only good at using a knife. Although he was also good at enchantment, it was not his strong point after all. Seeing Su Xinghe fighting hard, he smiled at Zhou Tian and said, "Third brother, this kind of thing will make your brother
You and the second brother will deal with it. This is the first time that the eldest brother and the second brother will protect you. If you see that we can't do it later, you must remember to run away!"
Afterwards, Su Mohan also rushed over.
If beating the city lord hadn't consumed Zhou Tian's physical strength, it would have been easy for Zhou Tian to deal with these puppets of Haotian Pavilion. But now, he wanted to activate the sea of qi, but his body could not cope with it. He anxiously looked at his eldest brother and second brother's
