Chapter 218: Extremely Pure Heaven! (asking for monthly ticket)

The banquet held by the Zhou family to celebrate Jingye Hou Chen Yuan became a joke!
In just two hours, the news of Chen Yi "abandoning his sword and severing his friendship" at Zhou's residence and "Tong Lao and others kneeling outside the gate of Chen's residence" spread throughout the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

The children of the noble families and the nobles who went to congratulate them, still terrified, recounted what happened during the banquet in their respective families, and emphasized:
"Marquis Yingwu Chen Yi has announced on behalf of the Chen family that he no longer has any connection with Marquis Jingye Chen Yuan, no, Marquis Jingye Zhou Yuan!"

In comparison, Chen Yi's use of domineering means to intimidate Lord Zhou, Wang Yang of the Kyoto Academy, and the Minister of Rites seemed less important.

"I heard that during the banquet, the Fourteenth Princess Wei Jinyu, who was representing the royal family, fainted because of this matter."

"What? Marquis Yingwu dared to attack the princess?"

"I heard that even the Minister of Rites was forced to kneel on the spot and couldn't utter a word. It's clear that Lord Chen is really angry!"

"In my opinion, it is not the fault of Marquis Yingwu that he is angry about this matter."

"Chen Yuan was born in the Chen family, and he is the eldest son of Wu'an Marquis Chen Taiping. Even if Zhou Tiance, as his grandfather, wants him to succeed Jingye Marquis, he doesn't have to change his surname!"

"If that's the case, then if Chen Yuan changes his name to Zhou Yuan, doesn't that mean he's giving up his Chen family identity and not recognizing the Chen bloodline in his body?"

"Brother, what you said... does make some sense, but..."

"After all, this matter involves the court martial marquises, ministers, and the Kyoto Academy. I'm afraid the emperor will have a headache..."

Everyone was shocked and quietly waiting for the follow-up of this matter.

The incident at the Zhou Mansion of Marquis Jingye was different from the previous ones. After all, the people Chen Yi injured this time were Marquis Wu and court officials of the Wei Dynasty.

In addition, that person also fainted on the spot, which was a slap in the face of the royal family.

For all these reasons, the people of Kyoto Prefecture and the crowd of wanderers who came to watch the event could not guess what decision the emperor would make.

"One more thing!"

"During the banquet, Wang Yang from Kyoto Academy revealed that the reason why Wuliang Mountain was closed for a hundred years was also related to Marquis Yingwu!"

"hiss!"

"So that day, after Lord Chen slashed down Wuliang Mountain with his sword, he also went there in person? But how did he force Wuliang Mountain to seal itself off for a hundred years?"

"You should know that Wuliang Mountain has been the 'number one Taoist sect' for thousands of years. There are also people with high cultivation in the sect, especially the legendary Taoist of Gushan, who is said to be above the Grandmaster level. How can they..."

"What is there to question? Lord Yingwu Hou was able to kill even the 'Black Impermanence' Liao Wei, so it is normal that Wuliangshan is unable to resist!"

In one day, the successive major events caused constant discussion in Kyoto Prefecture.

Even within the Kyoto Academy, which had never been disturbed by the outside world, there were constant waves of turmoil.

Originally, the Confucian scholars in the academy only knew that three of their classmates had bumped into Chen Yi, and were therefore blamed by him and ordered to ask their family elders to apologize.

After learning that the great master agreed, many Confucian scholars did not pay much attention to it.

But this time was different - Wang Yang, a disciple of a great master from Kyoto Academy, was severely injured by Chen Yi in Jingyehou Mansion!
When the news came out, many Confucian scholars gathered outside the school building!
"Brother Xie, you were also at the scene, why didn't you stop Marquis Yingwu?"

"..."

"Brother Wang Yang is in critical condition now. His meridians are broken and he may become a cripple from now on. Why are you and Jiang Ye okay?!"

"..."

Facing the criticism from their classmates, Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye looked increasingly unhappy.

Let the two of them go to stop Chen Yi? Maybe they think their lives are too long!

Why are they okay?
Damn it, if Wang Yang hadn’t insisted on speaking up, how would he have ended up like this?

"And Senior Brother Wang Yang's face, his face...his appearance was also destroyed. How could Yingwu be so overbearing? How hateful!"

The many daughters of wealthy families who came to Kyoto to study were heartbroken when they thought that Wang Yang’s beauty had faded.

She cried and accused Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye:

"Brother Xie and Brother Jiang, if Brother Wang Yang's face cannot be restored, you two are accomplices of Marquis Yingwu!"

"..."

Xie Dong'an had a cold face, and a righteous aura suddenly rose up, merging with the two statues of saints outside the school building.

In an instant, awe-inspiring power swept out, knocking over all the classmates around them and throwing them heavily to the ground.

Not only that, Xie Dongan's power, blessed by the statue of the saint, still weighed on them.

For a moment, the Confucian scholars in pure white robes all changed color and looked at him in astonishment.

"you?!"

"Brother Dong'an, how dare you openly violate the school rules and attack your classmates privately!?"

"I, I'm going to sue you, sir!"

Xie Dongan looked dignified, standing with his hands behind his back, ignoring their questions, and only spoke coldly:

"I just want you to know that the person you are discussing now is no one else but a Wu Hou who has made outstanding contributions!"

"In terms of status, before you become a university scholar, when you meet the Marquis Yingwu, you must treat yourselves as students, perform with great courtesy, and address him as sir!"

"In terms of cultivation level, you can't even stand up to me, how dare you criticize Marquis Yingwu?"

Xie Dong paused, and suddenly thought of his senior brother Wang Yang, who was as stupid as these Confucian scholars, and his anger grew even stronger.

"You have been reading the books of sages for so long, don't you understand the principle of seeking benefits and avoiding harm?"

"Or do you think everyone will listen to your ridiculous remarks like you gentlemen?"

"Or maybe you think you won't be threatened in the academy, so you provoke me like this?"

The Confucian scholars struggled to look at him, only to find the voice in their ears deafening, like a basin of cold water that extinguished their anger.

Yes.

With their current level of cultivation, they can only discuss within the school.

If they were in front of Chen Yi, they would probably die on the spot before they could even open their mouths.

Marquis Yingwu would not care about their identities or knowledge, let alone whether what they said was true.

A moment of silence.

Looking at the embarrassed Confucian scholars, Xie Dongan said with regret:
"When your knowledge, character, morality, and cultivation are not deep enough, you challenge those who are a hundred or a thousand times stronger than you. Don't hesitate to use an ant to shake a tree!"

"And this is why Senior Brother Wang Yang was seriously injured—stupidity!"

A scholar spoke with difficulty: "Xie Senior Brother, are we just going to let it go like this?"

A female scholar who had come to her senses asked with raised eyebrows, "Senior Brother Wang Yang is now seriously injured. Can't we even tell him a few words of truth?"

Few people agreed.

Xie Dongan glanced at her and said coldly:
"Senior Brother Wang Yang is just a commoner, he does not hold an official position. At the same time, he bumped into Marquis Yingwu first, and Marquis Yingwu took action later..."

"If they died, it would be in vain, let alone if they were only seriously injured?"

"..."

At this time, the teacher who heard the discussions outside the school building looked at Wang Yang's miserable appearance and sighed suddenly.

"An ancient sage once said that learning is useful only when it is put into practice."

"Yang'er, you have been reading the books of sages for such a long time, but you are just studying blindly. Dong'an understands the truth, why are you so pedantic?"

Hearing his voice, Wang Yang's dull eyes moved slightly, and he stammered through his cracked lips:
"Master, I only know that a saint is not afraid of anything!"

"In the past, in the past, the sages... drove away the darkness... slew the evil... and combined virtue and behavior. My disciple is right!"

After hearing what Wang Yang said, the master was speechless for a long time and just looked at him with a complicated expression.

A sage is fearless of everything, but before a Confucian scholar becomes a sage, he just needs to keep his heart fearless.

Obviously, Wang Yang does not know how to judge the situation and seek benefits and avoid risks.

"Marquis Yingwu is not comparable to any of the geniuses you have met, let alone the current you!"

"The knowledge you are so proud of, the moral principles and rules you respect, are worthless in front of Marquis Yingwu!"

"Yang'er, even if your master supports you in becoming invincible, you still need to have a clear understanding of yourself!"

The master's tone was somewhat stern, and his expression was even more serious. It didn't sound like comfort but more like a reprimand.

Wang Yang could hear it, and his expression became even gloomier, staring blankly at the beams above.

Seeing this, the master sighed and said, "That's all I have to say. I hope you can take it as a warning."

His face became serious and he sang, "The sage said: Our bodies and hair are given by our parents!" Then, the great master connected with the power of the surrounding heaven and earth, and his body was filled with great aura. Wisps of red-gold light wrapped around Wang Yang.

In an instant, the hideous scars on his body caused by Chen Yi's suppression healed rapidly.

In just three breaths, all of Wang Yang's injuries were healed, even his face that was smashed by the White Tiger's divine will was restored to its original state, and his skin was even better than before.

Crystal clear, like a newborn baby.

Wang Yang looked at the master with a slight movement of his eyes, a bit of bitterness on his face, and stood up and saluted:

"Teacher, I am sorry to disappoint you."

Mr. Da shook his head: "Whether I am disappointed or not is not my fault, but yours."

"If you can grow from what happened today, I will be pleased even if I have to expend a lot of my noble energy."

Wang Yang lowered his head, his eyes showing a hint of coldness.

When the master saw him like this, he sighed secretly, waved his hand and said:

"Before the grand event begins, you should stay in the library."

"Yes."

Wang Yang bowed again, turned around and left the school building.

Many Confucian scholars outside the building originally wanted to argue with Xie Dong'an, but when they saw him appear, they all gathered around him.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Please take care of me, classmates," Wang Yang glanced at Xie Dongan coldly and said:

"The teacher punished me to go to the library to reflect on my mistakes. I will meet you again after I am released."

After saying this, he ignored the scholar beside him and went straight to the library.

Jiang Ye watched the crowd leave and asked suspiciously, "Angel, is he blaming us with this expression?"

Xie Dongan pursed his lips and suddenly laughed.

"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together. It makes you and I look like we are meddling in other people's business."

Jiang Ye said angrily: "He is going too far! If we hadn't helped, he would have died in Zhou's mansion!"

Xie Dongan shook his head and said, "It's over. Let's go."

Jiang Ye paused and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Let's go back home. I don't want to stay in this academy anymore!"

"..."

After the two walked away one after the other, the master looked emotional.

"An ancient sage once said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles... Yang'er needs to be tempered."

He was not worried about Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye leaving the academy, he was only worried that Wang Yang would develop a mental disorder because of this matter.

"Why choose that evildoer as your opponent when there are so many options out there?"

……

Sunset West Mountain.

Kyoto was a little quieter in the twilight. It was no longer as bright and sunny as it was during the day, but rather seemed a bit desolate.

Just as it is said in "Wei Benji".

Kyoto is a prosperous place with a ten-mile-long street, a sparkling winding pond and the Buddhist pure land of Dakong Temple.

But all these places combined are not as shocking as the 108 districts.

What is shocking is not anything else but the simplicity and tranquility that has emerged from the Wei Dynasty after thousands of years of evolution.

But soon, the silence was broken.

A line of black-armored guards riding on tall horses left the imperial city under the cover of night and came all the way to Jingye Marquis Mansion.

"The emperor has issued an oral order: Grant Jingye Marquis Zhou Yuanming a set of light armor. I hope you will train the Jingye Army well!"

Chen Yuan took the silver-white armor indifferently, watched the team of black-armored guards leave, then turned around and came to the main hall of the central courtyard.

At this moment, the ten banquet tables in the main hall with wine, meat, cakes, fruits and melons were still arranged as before, and the black wooden floor still had some broken marks.

The servants were not there, and the old marquis was the only one sitting in the slightly empty hall.

Chen Yuan casually threw the armor on the table, looked at Zhou Tiance who was still depressed, and said coldly:

"He is seriously ill. Send Grandpa back to the backyard to rest."

"it is good."

Chen Kuang glanced at him, then immediately stepped forward to help Zhou Tiance up, and walked out with ease regardless of his struggle.

He knew in his heart that the emperor rewarded him with the Ming Guang armor in order to expose what happened during the day.

It not only represents the emperor's recognition of "Chen Yuan's change of surname", but also shows his protection of Chen Yi.

——Even if he injured the court ministers and Lord Zhou, the emperor still would not punish Chen Yi!
At this time, Zhou Tiance, who was stumbling out, turned back and shouted:
"Yuan'er, Yuan'er, be careful of Chen Yi, be careful of Chen Yi!"

"He was only two years old at that time. How could he know that it was me who did it?!"

Chen Yuan ignored it, still feeling bothered by the fact that Zhou Tiance had changed his surname without permission.

This concern was even greater than the fact that he was seriously ill and hiding in the Jingye Marquis Mansion under an assumed name.

It was not until Chen Yan dragged Zhou Tiance away that Chen Yuan looked at the empty lobby with a little fatigue, his eyes falling on the Chunyu Sword stuck in the ground.

"Second brother should be very angry, right?"

Chen Yuan knew clearly that Chen Yi was not to blame for this matter.

If it were him, he would be equally angry if he heard that Chen Yi was forced to change his surname.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan gently touched the Chunyu Sword, feeling the murderous sword intent on it, and his expression couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

"Return the property to its original owner... You must be angry too..."

The Spring Rain Sword remained indifferent, like a dead object.

Chen Yuan gave a bitter smile, his mind slightly shaken.

Suddenly, he felt a darkness before his eyes, and his mind returned to the void and darkness again.

Chen Yuan looked around blankly, "Here..."

Ever since he received the martial arts technique given by Chen Yi, he has not come here for a long time, and has not heard "his" voice again.

"Hehehe...you're back again, hahahaha...you loser!"

"Even Chen Yi broke up with you, how can you succeed in the future?"

Chen Yuan looked at the shadow in the darkness without saying a word, and smiled bitterly:

"You're right. I've accomplished nothing since I was a child..."

As he spoke, his long silver hair swayed in the wind.

Wisps of dark blue sword intent spread and attached to the surrounding darkness, gradually making his face look a little cold.

"But I won't be as cold as you!"

After he finished speaking, Chen Yuan returned to the lobby.

However, his pair of bright black eyes were covered with a layer of dark blue, making the color of the whole world dim.

Just like the scene when he was in the Demon Sealing Valley, the whole world was black and white.

Looking at everything in front of him, Chen Yuan suddenly laughed, "Ha ha ha..."

The laughter spread and echoed in the lobby, with a hint of coldness.

At this moment, a voice came from behind him:
"Congratulations, my Lord. Your sword has improved again!"

Chen Yuan's laughter suddenly stopped. He looked in the direction of the voice with icy eyes and asked coldly, "Who?"

At the entrance, a young Taoist in colorful Taoist robes looked at him with a half-smile:
"I am Lu Fang, and I have come to invite you to join my 'Ji Jing Tian'!"
