Lin Che felt a little unreal for a moment, looking at the five students in front of him:
"Wait, aren't you Confucian scholars?"
"That's right!" Chen Shuheng even took out a folding fan and bowed, "We are Confucian students. We are honored to be disciples of the Confucian Sage Muli. We are the real deal! Teacher Half-Sage, what's wrong?"
Lin Che was actually at a loss for words. When did this Confucian scholar become so cruel?
"Since you are Confucian scholars, why do you act so... authentically?"
A student named Zhu Zhiyuan nearby smiled and replied, "Even the Half-Saint teacher praised us for our true nature. It seems we have made some progress in our cultivation."
Chen Shuheng agreed wholeheartedly and said, "We must never forget the teachings of the Confucian sages. He who does not seek revenge is not a gentleman! We must also remember that a gentleman will not put himself in danger. Therefore, we must dig up his ancestral grave and destroy his bloodline!"
Upon hearing this, several students nearby nodded in agreement and began to offer suggestions.
"Let's first tell the truth and publicize it widely. Expose all the evil deeds of the Golden Scale Chamber of Commerce to the public. First, in terms of public opinion, we have the upper hand. As the saying goes, the greater good requires it, and we won't be afraid of anyone's criticism."
"To kill this great demon king, we must be certain of victory, and that requires us to recruit more like-minded individuals. Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, we can launch a surprise attack and kill them with one strike. But we must remember to be careful when searching for like-minded individuals and not let anyone leak the information."
"Brothers, you're absolutely right! After slaying the Great Demon King of the Golden Scale Merchant Guild, we need someone among us to speak up for the Golden Scale Merchant Guild. We need someone to be very high-profile and publicly swear to kill Lin Bansheng. Only in this way can we test whether there are any remnants of the Golden Scale Merchant Guild seeking revenge. If they do, they'll surely come and join forces against Lin Bansheng. If one comes, we'll kill them all, if two come, we'll kill them both. Of course, we have to deal with them secretly to prevent any future trouble!"
"This is a pretty good idea. The Golden Scale Chamber of Commerce should recruit for a few special positions going forward, positions that only the Dragon Snail Clan can fill. If there are any remnants, they'll definitely find a way to sneak in and take the opportunity to assassinate Lin Bansheng. We'll hide in the shadows and observe. Eliminate them completely!"
Lin Che originally thought that she had been cruel enough.
I never thought that these five students in front of me actually had such skills.
Bang!!
Lin Che immediately slammed the table and stood up, saying in a deep voice, "My five classmates, meeting you today, I instantly feel that you five are definitely not unknown people. I'm sure the other students have some special titles for you five, right?"
Chen Shuheng laughed heartily, his whole body radiating a righteous aura. "Excuse me! The five of us do have some names, the most well-known being: The Five Gentlemen of Pure Lotus!"
Five Gentlemen?
No way?
"Oh, there's another one called: The Five Gentlemen of Hanmei! The Five Heroes of Qingliu!"
Seeing their serious expressions, Lin Che couldn't help but smile, "What a great title, what a great team—I thought they would call you something like [Five Poisons]!"
"Huh? How did you know?" Chen Shuheng and the other four were shocked.
Then, the five of them simultaneously opened their fans and said in unison: "We are too famous..."
Alright! With the help of these five gentlemen, Lin Che felt much more at ease.
"From now on, my Liuxi City will rely heavily on these five gentlemen!"
"Teacher, that's not true. You are a semi-saint. We are so lucky to be able to study under you!"
As Chen Shuheng spoke, he suddenly thought of something: "Oh right. Teacher Bansheng, this time when we came here, Teacher Rusheng also brought us something. He said it might be useful to you."
Chen Shuheng took out a piece of animal bone from his arms, and used the sealing technique to take out a scroll.
He respectfully offered it with both hands: "This should be our Confucian's ultimate weapon. It can be suspended in the city."
Lin Che took the scroll and reached out to open it, but the entire scroll seemed to be stitched together.
He immediately understood that the scroll could not be opened by brute force, and that righteous energy was needed.
He immediately injected a surge of righteous energy into it, and the scroll slowly opened.
The scroll depicts a sacred mountain.
It seems extremely far away and out of reach, but this sacred mountain exudes a powerful and righteous spirit, as if it is about to burst out of the painting at any time.
Zhu Zhiyuan explained: "This is a mountain of books!"
"A mountain of books? There's even this thing?"
"Yes! It was discovered by our Confucian sage teacher. I heard it's the hometown of the ancient Cangjie. As long as you can step into the mountain of books, you will be able to possess endless righteousness and glimpse all the brilliant knowledge in the long river of history."
Chen Shuheng sighed, "What a shame! We can't even get close to the foot of the Book Mountain. Teacher Bansheng, at your age, you've already achieved so much. You'll definitely be able to reach the foot of the Book Mountain in the future. Who knows, maybe even climb the stairs to the top!"
Lin Che felt a surge of emotion in his heart. It seemed that the Confucian lineage was not as simple as it seemed.
"If I have the chance in the future, I will go and have a look."
Lin Che let go and said, "As for this scroll now, let it guard my Liuxi City!"
Swish——
This scroll of calligraphy and painting seemed to have a spirit. It flew out instantly and directly rushed to the air above the city, where it hovered.
The entire calligraphy and painting exudes a special light, covering the entire city, as if it can take in every move of everyone in the city.
No evil demon can escape its suppression.
"ah--"
The calligraphy and painting had just begun to float in the air when suddenly someone in the city let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Lin Che glanced around and found that the person lying on the ground was a male slave.
He fell to the ground, covering his head with his hands, and struggled on the ground as if in great pain.
"Ahhh! Get away, get away. Ah!"
The more pain the male slave felt, the more violent his righteous spirit surged, as if it wanted to suppress the slave to death.
"Something's strange!"
Lin Che flashed and appeared next to the slave, watching him struggle on the ground with full vigilance.
To be honest, these more than 10,000 slaves were bought by Zhuang Hao, and he hasn't had time to check them carefully yet.
I didn’t expect that there were such unruly people among these slaves!
"Who are you? What are you doing sneaking into Liuxi City? Tell the truth!"
The slave writhing on the ground said in agony, "Let me go, I know nothing. I am just a slave, spare my life."
"Righteous spirit! Suppress!"
As soon as Lin Che opened his mouth, a powerful righteous energy surged down, instantly crushing the slave's body into a bloody mist.
If this continues, this slave's soul will definitely be shattered and his body will be turned into meat paste.
"I, I beg you to let me go. I have no ill intentions. I'm just looking for someone. I'm looking for my father..."
