"I am Gu Xuan, the leader of the Wen Sect. I have come here today to cause trouble and demand justice for my disciple Qi Jingchun! Quickly tell your so-called Second Elder Xu Yanbo to get out here and see me!"
The roar was like a deafening thunderclap, echoing through the sky and reverberating continuously.
In an instant, the entire Yuelu Academy was shaken by this earth-shattering roar.
Whether it was the Confucian scholars who were engrossed in their studies, the doctors and academicians who were lecturing, or the respected elders, all were drawn to this sudden change.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction from which the sound came...
Some of the PhDs and academicians who had a good relationship with Xu Yanbo, as well as some elders, frowned and looked slightly cold.
Without saying a word, he burned the talisman in his hand.
One by one they disappeared from their original spot, and when they reappeared, they were all standing at the main gate of Yuelu Academy.
Watching outside the door.
Gu Xuan was dressed in a blue robe, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind, exuding an air of majesty.
Qi Jingchun, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded and suddenly thought that her master was too handsome!
...
At this moment, deep within the heart of Yuelu Academy lies a secluded bamboo grove.
Sunlight filters through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.
Right there in this bamboo grove, Master Yan, dressed in a gray scholar's robe, was sitting leisurely at a stone table.
Although the old man's hair was already white, his face was as rosy as a child's, and he was full of energy, giving people a sense of otherworldly grace.
Opposite him sat a middle-aged man.
The man was handsome with a face like jade, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, broad shoulders and a thick chest, exuding an elegant and refined gentlemanly demeanor.
A chessboard was placed between the two.
The black and white pieces are intertwined, and the situation seems to be at a stalemate.
Just then, Gu Xuan's provocative words came from afar.
These words were like a thunderclap, shattering the tranquility of the bamboo forest.
The middle-aged man, who was focused on playing chess, was slightly taken aback, and a strange look instantly appeared on his face.
He slowly withdrew his right hand, which was about to place a chess piece, then raised his head and looked at Master Yan, who always appeared calm and composed.
The middle-aged man's lips curled slightly, revealing a playful smile.
Then, in a slightly teasing tone, he said to Master Yan, "Master Yan, since the founding of Yuelu Academy, I'm afraid no one has ever dared to come and cause such a ruckus, right? And you're not angry at all?!"
Faced with the middle-aged man's questioning, Master Yan calmly shrugged, his tone still as calm as still water: "Angry? Why would I be angry?"
"Over the years, the academy has been highly praised and sought after, and its status has become increasingly prestigious."
"Over time, some people will inevitably become selfish and lose themselves. Now is the perfect opportunity to give them a good talking-to, so that everyone can re-examine themselves and return to their original intentions."
"So this may not necessarily be a bad thing."
"Oh? I thought you, Master Yan, had really gone senile and would turn a blind eye to Xu Yanbo's domineering behavior in Yuelu Academy!"
The middle-aged man had a half-smile on his face and spoke cheerfully.
Although his tone sounded quite relaxed and casual, there seemed to be a hint of probing in it.
Upon hearing this, Master Yan frowned slightly.
He then glanced sharply at the middle-aged man in front of him and said slowly, "Although I am old, my mind is still very clear. I am not as confused as you say."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly smiled and said, "Haha, I just spoke carelessly. I hope you, Master Yan, will be magnanimous and not take offense!"
After saying that, he quickly scratched his head, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
"Enough, enough, no need to say more."
"Let the younger generation handle their affairs. Let's continue our game of chess; the outcome is not yet decided!"
Master Yan waved his hand gently, indicating that the middle-aged man no longer needed to dwell on this matter.
He then turned his attention back to the chessboard, focusing intently on how to place his piece next.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he quickly adjusted his mindset and replied with a grin, "Yes, yes, let's continue, let's continue!"
As he spoke, he eagerly picked up another chess piece.
Place it neatly and cleanly on the chessboard.
For a time, the only sounds in the room were the occasional clinking of chess pieces.
It was a scene of peace and tranquility.
......
At the same time, the Second Elder, Xu Yanbo, was in his quiet residence.
Just three days ago, everything was arranged, and all that was needed was to successfully capture Qi Jingchun and obtain the coveted Confucian and Taoist sacred body.
However, things didn't go as planned, and Qi Jingchun was unexpectedly rescued by a mysterious person.
This caused his meticulously planned conspiracy to fail, and all his efforts to come to naught.
This sudden turn of events enraged Xu Yanbo!
In his rage, he could not contain his fury and, in his rage, he frantically employed Confucianism.
The entire vast manor was instantly razed to the ground, turning into ruins.
