Zhu Yourong's reason was simple.

"I don't want it. I am a cultivator at the half-step Nascent Soul stage. My life span is much longer than you think... Take it back and eat it now. Don't keep any."

Zhao Rong also shook his head, and his reason was even more reasonable than that of a cultivator who was half a step into the Nascent Soul stage.

The smile on his face faded, and he said calmly: "It's useless for me to eat it. The three I ate before felt like a waste."

Zhu Yourong frowned in confusion, "What do you mean?"

What do you mean... it's useless even if you take it? Is there any cultivator in the world who would despise this immortality medicine? Even cultivators at the seventh level are afraid of aging... so unless you don't want to live...

The woman in Confucian robes looked serious, as if she had thought of some possibilities.

However, at this moment, the sound of other people's footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Zhao Rong remained calm and did not answer.

Zhu Yourong frowned. It was inconvenient for outsiders to see the immortality elixir, so she had to put away the 'Unknown Age' pill immediately. "Then I'll keep it for you first."

Zhao Rong shook his head and said nothing. She just accepted it.

Because he now feels that... these immortality pills that prolong life seem to be of no use to him.

Soon, Yan Jidao and Meng Zhengjun appeared at the gate of the yard.

Not long after, Sima Duyi also arrived on time.

Now that everyone was present, Zhu Yourong was not in a position to continue the conversation with Zhao Rong.

She looked at Zhao Rong with a little worry, but the latter was surprisingly calm and didn't look at her.

Soon, the group began today's business.

Linlu Academy sent Yan Jidao, Meng Zhengjun and Sima Duyi to investigate the ins and outs of Zhao Rong's ambush by a Jindan realm cultivator, to find out whether it was a simple vendetta, and to find out the possible culprit behind it.

Zhao Rong first told everyone in the academy about how he met Zhang Huizhi, detailing every detail. Then he took everyone for a walk in the bamboo courtyard, replaying the scene of that day and the methods and magic weapons used by Qin Jianfu.

An hour later, the investigation of the bamboo forest courtyard was completed, and Zhao Rong led everyone to the place where he was teleported a hundred miles away by Zhu Yourong's last ink painting.

Finally, they went to the imperial mausoleum at the downstream waterfall.

I was on the road to escape and reviewed everything that happened that day.

Including Zhu Yourong, the academy sent three academy teachers and a scholar this time.

They were all great monks who had practiced Confucianism for a long time, so they were very familiar with the techniques and magical weapons of Qin Jianfu, who was also a Confucian practitioner, which made the investigation a lot easier.

After some investigation, everyone stopped at the main hall of the underground palace where Zhao Rong and Qin Jianfu fought to the death.

For some unknown reason, this hall was teleported back again.

The brand new hall that Zhao Lingfei and others saw yesterday has disappeared again. It should be that the teleportation array has been restarted again, and the hall in the ruins of Wangque City has been replaced.

So the remains and blood from the fatal battle between Zhao Rong and Qin Jianfu yesterday are still left here.

Zhao Rong guessed that it might be Dugu Chanyi who had been here. According to his previous calculations, Dugu Chanyi was related to the Li clan of the Moon Palace, so it was not surprising that she knew about the ruins of Wangquezhou. Even the Dali Imperial Mausoleum was built by her.

…

So Zhao Rong could be considered to have forced his way into someone else's territory. However, facing Zhao Rong and the Linlu Academy behind him, Gudu Chanyi probably didn't dare to step forward and admit it. She could only pretend she didn't know and wait for them to leave before quietly finishing off the matter.

Zhao Rong nodded and said nothing more.

However, some people could imagine the gnashing of teeth expression of a certain Queen Mother Dali towards him who loved to cause trouble and run around.

At this moment, everyone from the academy arrived and saw the hall that was the scene of a tragic and messy battle. Their expressions were somewhat similar to the projection of Zhu Yourong when she first arrived.

After taking them to check the traces of battle in the hall, he listened to a student named Zhao calmly narrating how he used his own flesh and blood as a candle to ignite the Whale Song Amber and killed Qin Jianfu on the verge of death.

The looks of Yan Jidao, Meng Zhengjun and Sima Du towards Zhao Rong changed a little.

This had nothing to do with his cultivation level, magical weapon or identity. What made them look at him differently was that this guy named Zhao Ziyu was simply too calm and fierce, despite being just a thin-looking young Confucian scholar.

But what about what he did in the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum at that time?

Being cruel to yourself is the real cruelty.

Meng Zhengjun then asked Zhao Rong about the subsequent rescue by Li Nu. Zhao Rong did not want to draw everyone's curiosity to the ruins of Wangque City. Moreover, it seemed that the Li tribe had nothing to do with the ambush against him. It was Zhao Rong who initially mistook the identities of Luo Xiu and Xiao Yu, thinking that they were concubines buried with the emperor. Later, he led Qin Jianfu to this teleportation hall by mistake.

So he used the excuse he had prepared long ago to cover up for Luo Xiu, Xiao Yu and other ascended women. Zhu Yourong looked at Zhao Rong and tacitly helped him cover up.

As a result, everyone in the academy stopped paying attention to this and instead focused their investigation on Qin Jianfu, Zhang Huizhi, and possibly the Dali royal family.

However, Zhao Rong felt that Dugu Chanyi and the Dali royal family were obviously dragged down by Zhang Huizhi, but he did not defend them.

The latter will inevitably be investigated by the academy and taught a lesson.

It was afternoon.

Today's investigation is coming to an end, and Zhao Rong has said everything that needs to be said.

Everyone is discussing it carefully.

The most crucial thing in this attack is whether there is someone behind Qin Jianfu giving instructions and help.

If it was a simple revenge, the academy would only need to deal with the Qin family of the distant Wei Dynasty, deal with Zhang Huizhi's family, and finally intimidate and crack down on the Dali Dynasty for failing to protect the students of the academy.

However, if there is someone hiding behind Qin Jianfu, then the purpose of assassinating Zhao Rong, a student of the academy, is worth the academy's speculation.

At this time, in the main hall, Meng Zhengjun raised his hands and analyzed seriously:

"According to what you said, Zhao Ziyu, Qin Jianfu should have destroyed his own golden elixir in the golden elixir explosion you designed, so the golden elixir he regained is the key. And the evil external elixir technique he practiced, which swallowed the golden elixir and made it his own, cannot be the Confucian cultivation technique of the academy. This is not the right way, so where did he get all this help... The Qin family of the Great Wei should not have such a foundation and ability."

Yan Jidao shook his head. "It's a pity that Qin Jianfu is dead. According to the news from the academy, his golden elixir seems to have been accidentally destroyed by the master of Taiqing Mansion invited by Ziyu's wife... At present, there is no clue in this direction."

The atmosphere among the crowd fell into silence.

At this moment, Sima Duyi, who had been silent most of the time, suddenly pointed at the gray pipe on Zhao Rong's waist:

"Junior Brother Zhao, can you show me this?"
