My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 356 Brother Quanfu, you died such a terrible death!

Emperor Jianhong opened his mouth.

He looked at Master Xu.

I want to swear.

But in the end, he swallowed the words back.

At this point, he still didn't have the courage to face Master Xu.

His face was extremely gloomy, but after enduring it for a long time, he couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Master Xu and said in a deep voice:

"If all four hundred-plus Confucian scholars die in this illusion array, Master Xu, you will be held responsible!"

That's a rather pathetic statement.

If it weren't for Master Xu today, but someone else, Emperor Jianhong would have executed him on the spot.

More than 400 Confucian scholars.

This is not an ordinary Confucian scholar.

They are all elites from their respective regions.

Such a force can certainly be called the backbone of the imperial court!
Just like that, it was gone for nothing.

Zeng Shilin's expression was also extremely gloomy as he stared at Master Xu:
"If my son makes even the slightest mistake, that Xu fellow will report you to my master and will certainly not let you off!"

The scene was extremely quiet.

No one dared to speak.

Even the White Queen looked at the illusion array with concern, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then kept her mouth shut.

Master Xu remained silent, only offering a wry smile:

"It was my oversight."

……

“Minister Zeng, Xu Tian was indeed in the wrong, but now is not the time to cause him trouble.”

Emperor Jianhong couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

He was truly furious with Master Xu.

But at this point he knew he couldn't stir up trouble.

If Zeng Shilin and Master Xu were to fall out over this matter, it would only bring harm and no benefit to their Great Holy Dynasty.

Zeng Shilin remained expressionless, ignoring Emperor Jianhong's words.

"Master Xu".

The eldest princess then stepped forward.

Her exquisitely beautiful face stared intently at Master Xu before her, her eyes flashing with solemnity:

"Tell me, what are the chances that Zeng Anmin and the others will come out alive?"

Master Xu gently closed his eyes.

A short while later, his cloudy eyes slowly opened, and he held up five fingers:
"Fifty percent."

"So low?!"

Upon hearing this, the princess felt a sudden, inexplicable weight lift from her shoulders.

She suddenly looked up at Master Xu, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"This is all because Zeng Anmin was in this formation."

Master Xu sighed and said, "If he hadn't participated in this imperial examination, the probability would have dropped by another 30%."

No one questioned this statement.

Since Zeng Anmin came into the public eye, no one has failed to value his intelligence and strategic acumen.

Even Zeng Anmin's character is now considered extremely reliable by both the common people and officials.

"That illusory demon lord has indeed come infinitely close to the law in the path of illusion."

"But after all, she is thousands of miles away, and there are still many restrictions within my illusion array."

"As long as those candidates can keep their minds steady, the moment when her illusory power is exhausted will be the moment when the candidates can break free."

Master Xu slowly raised his head:

"In the end, this illusion array is, after all, my territory."

His words had just fallen.

Then a long, inexplicable buzzing sound was heard.

"Boom!!!"

After the sound, everyone turned to look at where the examinee was sitting.

One of the test takers opened his eyes.

After opening his eyes, the examinee glanced at everyone, then fixed his gaze on the huge scarlet scroll.

Even though the scroll was obscured by the mist, he still stared intently at it.

"Buzz buzz~"

Then came a continuous stream of sounds.

All the candidates opened their eyes.

But their behavior was the same as that of the first examinee who woke up; they all stared intently at the red scroll whose image was obscured.

"Young Master Zeng..."

Finally, one of the Confucian scholars could no longer hold back, and a tear inexplicably rolled down his cheek.

"Pap~"

Tears streamed down his cheeks and onto his collar...

"Shhh!!"

next moment.

All the Confucian scholars turned their heads at the same time.

He stared intently at the only candidate still sitting there, eyes closed. It was Zeng Anmin's body.

Zeng Anmin still had his eyes closed at this moment.

The moment I saw his body.

Liu Xian could no longer hold back: "Brother Quanfu!!!"

His voice was filled with endless regret.

I was sobbing uncontrollably!
See this scene.

Emperor Jianhong, Master Xu, Zeng Shilin, as well as the White Queen, Princess Chang, and the Little Fatty Crown Prince, who were watching from the sidelines, were all dumbfounded.

"They...they're all alive??"

The chubby prince stared in disbelief.

This scene was truly breathtaking.

Master Xu was also extremely shocked as he watched all of this.

Emperor Jianhong came to his senses, and his heart finally settled down. Seeing the Confucian scholars awake, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clap."

He slowly walked towards the candidates.

"You've all come out of the illusion array?"

Emperor Jianhong frowned slightly as he looked at the group of Confucian scholars.

Those Confucian scholars ignored this voice.

All four hundred and seventy-two Confucian scholars stared intently at Zeng Anmin's still unconscious figure.

She pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

Emperor Jianhong waited for a while, and seeing that no one still answered his question, he couldn't help but raise his voice by one notch:
"Who can tell me what's really going on inside the illusion array?"

The words fell.

The Confucian scholars all came to their senses.

"Shh!"

They both turned to look at Emperor Jianhong.

After seeing the figures of Emperor Jianhong, Master Xu, and Zeng Shilin.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer:
"Woo!!"

Then, everyone burst into tears.

"Young Master Zeng!!"

"For all time!!"

"It's our fault, we're so sorry!!"

"How can my conscience be at peace if I leave you today?!"

Everyone was immersed in a state of grief.

Liu Xian was the one who cried the loudest.

"Brother Quan Fu!!!"

"You...died a terrible death!!"

As soon as these words came out.

Zeng Shilin, the eldest princess, and the chubby little prince suddenly stood up.

His expression changed.

He stared intently at Liu Xian.

The chubby prince, along with Liu Xian and Zeng Anmin, were once considered an inseparable trio at the Imperial Academy.

He knew Liu Xian.

"Liu Fengnian, Brother Quan Fu, what happened to him?!"

The chubby prince stared intently at Liu Xian, his voice trembling slightly, a tremor he himself couldn't detect.

Liu Xian bit her lip.

He sobbed, and it took him a long time to suppress the sorrow and pain in his heart.

He dared not look up at anyone's eyes.

He just kept his head down.
“Brother Quanfu made a deal with that illusory demon lord in order to save us.”

"He chose to offer his divine power for the demon to absorb, on the condition that..."

"The condition is that the illusory demon lord releases us from the illusion array..."

As soon as these words came out.

The entire room fell silent.

Swish! !

next moment.

All eyes were focused on one figure.

It was Zeng Anmin, sitting cross-legged on the spot, with his eyes closed and breathing evenly.

Everyone was staring intently at him.

Zeng Shilin stood up shakily and came to Zeng Anmin.

Looking down at his motionless eldest son:
"Your father... taught you to cherish your body... you... you..."

You've forgotten all of that?!
Looking at my eldest son sitting there peacefully.

Don't know why.

I just can't bring myself to say anything to blame them.
