Li Changsheng grabbed Baili Dongjun's ear and said, "You little brat, who among all the martial arts learners in the world doesn't want to be my disciple?"

"You got the advantage, but you're still acting cute, right?"

On the second day, the news that Mr. Li had accepted two closed disciples spread like wildfire in Tianqi City.

At this time, Wen Yanzhao had already returned to the academy and sent a letter back to the Wen family in Lingnan.

In the letter, in addition to informing his grandfather Wen Lin and his uncle Wen Hujiu that he had refined the Yonghe poison and that his cultivation had reached the level of half-step divine travel, he also informed the Wen family of the agreement between Yueluo and the Confucian Immortal.

Thousands of miles away in Lingnan, in a peach forest, the immortal Gu Chen sat alone under a tree, playing the zither and drinking wine.

It is not clear what happened in Tianqi City.

Chapter 95: The Emperor's Grace is Unpredictable

After the final exam, Ye Dingzhi and Baili Dongjun were taken back to the courtyard by Lei Mengsha to rest.

Lei Mengsha also told Xiao Ruofeng about Ye Dingzhi's matter.

Zi Yuji and Mo Qixuan, who were saved by Zhuge Wucai, received another order from Wu Xiangshi that night.

Ordered the two of them to reveal the secret of Ye Dingzhi's life experience to the Beili royal family

Thus, the news that Ye Dingzhi was the only son of the traitorous general Ye Yu spread throughout the Tianqi Palace overnight!

……

In the Imperial Palace, in the Tai'an Hall

Emperor Tai'an Xiao Chongjing glanced at the memorial in his hand with a gloomy face and threw it on the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The dragon's health is more important!"

The eunuch Zhuoqing, who was standing respectfully beside him, hurriedly picked up the memorial that Xiao Chongjing had thrown on the ground.

"Didn't King Qing tell me solemnly that this mission was done perfectly? How come Ye Dingzhi suddenly appeared now?"

Zhuo Qing gently placed the memorial he had picked up on the imperial desk in front of Emperor Tai'an, and said in a low voice with his eyebrows lowered:

"Your Highness Qing Wang cannot be blamed for this. I'm afraid he was rescued by someone in the martial arts world. The news we got from the Shadow Sect is that it was the number one master of the Southern Art, the Sword Immortal Yu Shengmo!"

After hearing the name "Yu Sheng Mo", Xiao Chongjing's expression became even uglier. He stood up and said:

"These wanderers are so proud of their martial arts that they look down upon the world. They really don't take me, the king, seriously! That Li Changsheng is even more outrageous. He actually dared to accept Ye Yun, a remnant, as his disciple at the foot of the imperial city?"

"Zhuoqing! Why is there no news about Feng'er's sworn brother, the Wen family member, recently? Where is he now?"

Zhuo Qing stood beside Xiao Chongjing, bowing his head. Hearing this, he quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, Li Changming appointed Wen Yanzhao as the chief examiner for the final exam of the academy. On the night of the final exam, he killed two emissaries of the Northern Territory Demon Cult... Now according to the report from the Shadow Sect, I'm afraid he has already reached the Half-Step Divine Wandering Realm!"

When Xiao Chongjing heard that Wen Yanzhao had killed the people from the Northern Territory Demon Sect, his brows finally relaxed a little.

He sat back at the imperial desk and asked:

"Oh? Is that true? Why didn't you report it to me?"

Zhuoqing bowed slightly:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was indeed negligent in this matter. At that time, I was only concerned with reporting that the Ye family's wicked son was accepted as Li Changsheng's closed disciple..."

Xiao Chongjing waved his hand and interrupted Zhuoqing's words:

"Alright! Since Wen Yanzhao is now Feng'er's sworn brother, and he has also eradicated the northern demon, it can be considered a great achievement!"

"Pass on my decree, grant Wen Yanzhao a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of brocade... Wait, there are so many vacant mansions in Tianqi City, pick a good one and give it to him!"

After saying this, Xiao Chongjing's eyes lit up:

"Didn't Li Changsheng temporarily appoint him as the chief examiner? Then I will appoint him as a proper official position in the school! Hmm... Zhuoqing, how about appointing him as the school supervisor?"

When Zhuo Qing heard that Emperor Tai'an was actually going to give Wen Yanzhao an official title, and that it was a position second only to the chief priest in the academy, he felt a little unhappy, but he still responded humbly:

"Your Majesty is wise and decisive. If a young man who has just started out can get such an important position, he will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty! In this way, he can work in the school and get along with the Langya King day and night!"

“No matter how great his achievements in martial arts will be in the future, he must always be grateful to Your Majesty and the court. Beili has lost a willful Li Changsheng and gained a Wen Yanzhao who is sent by the court!”

After listening to Zhuoqing's words, Emperor Tai'an felt that they made a lot of sense, and the haze in his heart was cleared away:

"You don't need to go for this matter. Send Zhuo Sen to go. It would be too much of an honor for that boy if you go! But... tell Zhuo Sen to pass my decree to King Langya, so that he can understand my intentions!"

"Go and draft the decree. Remember to pass on my oral order. Order Zhuo Sen to go to Prince Qing's residence before returning to the palace. Ask Prince Qing to come to the palace to see me!"

After listening to this, Zhuo Qing bowed deeply and said, "I obey your order!" Then he left the hall.

……

School courtyard, flower pavilion and small pavilion

Xiao Ruofeng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the lotus pond under the autumn colors, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lei Mengsha followed Xiao Ruofeng and told him word by word that Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi finally became Li Changsheng's disciples.

The more Xiao Ruofeng listened, the more solemn his expression became. After Lei Mengsha finished speaking, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball:

"So Yu Shenglan is Ye Dingzhi. Since he knew he was wanted by the imperial court, why did he still take the risk to participate in the academy examination?"

"Since Master has already exposed his disguise, why did he accept Ye Dingzhi as his disciple? How can I explain this to my father?"

Seeing Xiao Ruofeng's complicated expression, Lei Mengsha shook his head:

"I don't know about that. I think only Master knows the reason."

"Don't you and I know the old man's style of doing things? No one can stop him from doing what he wants..."

"Although he is the chief priest of the school, no one can restrain him. If the emperor finds out, he will definitely not let Ye Dingzhi go easily... I'm afraid that you are not the only one involved."

Lei Mengsha sighed and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

Xiao Ruofeng frowned, his tone was worried:

"I have been secretly investigating the Ye Yu clan's rebellion over the years, and all the evidence shows that..."

"I can find out a lot of things, but as a prince I dare not and cannot say anything!"

"Their family was framed. Father, you are wise and wise. He must know that Ye Yu's family was wrongly accused. I don't know why he still hasn't pardoned Ye Yu."

Xiao Ruofeng's words drifted away with the autumn wind. Before they had drifted far, Wen Yanzhao's voice suddenly came from afar:

"The person who wronged you knows how wronged you are better than you do!"

As soon as Wen Yanzhao finished speaking, before Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha could react, they saw a figure flash before their eyes. Wen Yanzhao appeared in front of them from nowhere.

Chapter 96: Defeat Zhuo Sen with One Sword

What is puzzling is that he, who usually loves blue gauze and white clothes, wore a beige robe embroidered with powerful and bold characters today, and a slightly heavy brocade cape hung behind him.

"How did Yanzhao find time to come to see me? Please sit down... I don't know what you just said." Xiao Ruofeng said as he cupped his hands, with a puzzled look on his face.

Wen Yanzhao nodded slightly and sat down next to Xiao Ruofeng without hesitation.

After Wen Yanzhao sat down, Xiao Ruofeng saw the three characters "Poison Sword Immortal" printed in large letters on his lotus-colored cloak. The font was very similar to the one on his uncle's cloak.

The words did not seem to be embroidered, but rather written with a brush dipped in thick ink, but without the texture of thick ink.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually made up of black smoke, with one or two wisps of smoke occasionally not dissipating and then quickly gathering back!

Lei Mengsha saw Xiao Ruofeng's eyes constantly examining Wen Yanzhao, so he also curiously leaned over to take a look:

"No way, why do you Wen family members have such a bad taste? Did you write these three words yourself? Not bad, not bad..."

"Eh? Wait a minute... these words don't look like they were written, but rather like thick smoke from a burn. So unique?"

Wen Yanzhao raised his head and said, "Lei Er, I advise you to stay away from it. It's a deadly poison at the bottom of the box! It will turn into pus if you touch it. It's very irritating!"

After finishing speaking, Lei Mengsha instantly jumped eight feet away:

"Wen Yanzhao, you're going to be in school in the future, so can you be a normal person and not deal with these mass-destructive poisons?"

Xiao Ruofeng glanced at Lei Mengsha and said, "Second Senior Brother, stop messing around. Yan Zhao and I have something serious to discuss."

Lei Mengsha pouted and sat back in front of the two of them obediently.

"I wonder if you have anything serious to tell me, brother?" Although Wen Yanzhao had a smile on his face, his eyes were very calm.

Xiao Ruofeng picked up the teacup on the stone table and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

"To be honest with you, my brother has been worried since he found out about Ye Dingzhi's background. He is afraid that our father will be furious and many innocent people will be implicated..."

"Mr. Li accepted him as his last disciple. I want to mediate between the school and the court, but it's difficult to help my brother on both sides. Now I am like the ox roasted on the fire when Ye Dingzhi first tried it!"

Wen Yanzhao nodded thoughtfully:

"Indeed, brother is Mr. Li's disciple, but don't forget that you are a prince and the King of Langya appointed by His Majesty. The only right thing to do is to obey His Majesty..."

"If you want to wield the sword in the martial arts world, the prerequisite is that you must have the power to control the government?"

Having said this, Wen Yanzhao's eyes turned cold:

"Although you and I are sworn brothers now, Wen Yanzhao wants to tell you something unpleasant - do things to the end, and save people thoroughly!"

"Don't be hesitant and indecisive. In the end, you will end up with nothing and find yourself in a dilemma!"

Xiao Ruofeng held the teacup in the air and looked at Wen Yanzhao for a long time:

"I have taken note of what my brother said... But the most troublesome thing now is that Master accepted Ye Dingzhi. This is a serious crime of disobeying the emperor's order!"

At this point, Lei Mengsha laughed and said, "Master, isn't he disobedient enough?"

After hearing this, Wen Yanzhao's heart moved. With his talent and opportunities, he had advanced from the peak of the Earth Realm to the Half-Step Divine Wandering Realm in less than three months!

Although my internal strength is still a little behind those long-established masters, I am now one of the top masters in the world.

This is a world where warriors are as numerous as dogs and strong people are everywhere. Only force is king!

When one day I can become a person as strong as Li Changsheng, the order, laws, power, kings... of the human world will all be nothing but clouds!
