Is this still the same academy that proclaims itself a place of tranquility, the soul of Central Plains scholarship, and that it will never participate in worldly disputes?
In a short time.
The various factions present looked at Instructor Lu with very complicated expressions. Although no one spoke up to expose Instructor Lu's secrets, their expressions were unpredictable, and they were all thinking their own thoughts.
"You let go—!!"
Professor Lu wanted to yell "You're being presumptuous!" but since they weren't in the academy, such arrogant and superior-like remarks shouldn't come from such a refined mouth.
He could only swallow back his original words.
With a mocking laugh, he proceeded to logically whitewash the academy's actions: "Taking advantage of the Pavilion Master's eloquence, he pinned baseless accusations on the academy, distorting the truth."
"Weapons of mass destruction are only coveted by forces that want to instigate wars and seize power. What does that have to do with academies at the pinnacle of academic achievement? Even if an academy obtained a weapon of mass destruction, what use would it be?"
"Why go to such lengths to steal it?"
"Everyone here today is a person of importance, so I hope that Pavilion Master will not speak carelessly."
Seeing that the people present were beginning to waver.
Professor Lu knew that the academy's reputation had been almost completely restored.
His gaze, filled with contempt and disdain, was fixed on Cheng Xianyi, as if trying to shatter her blurred face through the veil: "Besides, the academy never interferes in the power struggles between royal families..."
Cheng Xianyi casually interjected, "So why did you condescend to come here today? Are you here for tea?"
Professor Lu: "......."
The prince of Dongyan Kingdom's lips twitched slightly: "........"
The people in power glanced at Instructor Lu again in silence.
The words of the Pavilion Master of Chenggui Pavilion... seem to make more sense!
If Nanyue Academy were truly so lofty and indifferent to everything, even to the point of delivering deadly weapons, then what would be the point of the Eastern Conference? And why would they be sending them secret messages?
Are you here for tea?
Was it a well-intentioned announcement?
Obviously not!
Instructor Lu was so angry that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. Before he could even smooth things over, Cheng Xianyi exposed his true intentions. Was this woman crazy? Wasn't she afraid of offending Nanyue Academy?
"alright."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, the prince of Dongyan Kingdom finally spoke up: "It seems that the Pavilion Master Cheng has some prejudice against the academy. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding."
"I once studied at Nanyue Academy for a year. Although I was of average talent and failed to enter the inner courtyard, I still understand the academy's foundation. Based on my understanding of the academy, I would never do something like sowing discord."
"Moreover, the purpose of our gathering today is not for infighting."
"And for the sake of weapons of mass destruction."
"The Zhou family is now extremely arrogant, thinking that they can be invincible once they obtain a weapon. How can such a unique treasure be controlled by a small family like the Zhou family? Wouldn't that lead to chaos in the world?"
"therefore--"
"I, the Prince, here on behalf of the royal family of Dongyan Kingdom, earnestly request everyone to join hands in suppressing the Zhou family, so that the weapon of destruction may find its true owner and not fall into the hands of ambitious villains!"
good!
Well said!
Everyone present showed expressions of agreement, and some even led the applause.
Instructor Lu gave Cheng Xianyi a deep look. With the prince of Dongyan Kingdom acting as an intermediary, he could only swallow his anger for the time being for the sake of the academy's grand plan.
Damn Cheng Gui Pavilion!
They hid it quite well before.
His only son was tasked by the academy to go to Yan Kingdom to investigate the information about the weapon, but suddenly lost contact. The four people who left the academy have not been found to this day.
He wouldn't believe it if it wasn't related to Cheng Gui Pavilion! The Pavilion Master made the reason clear as soon as he appeared; his son was most likely in this woman's hands, damn it!!
“What the eldest prince said makes sense.”
Professor Lu, seated in the main seat on the left, spoke with extraordinary dignity: "It is precisely because the Master sensed the crisis in the Central Plains and was unwilling to sit idly by that he specially sent me to the Eastern Conference."
"It's just that some people are narrow-minded and only care about their own interests, so they think that all talented people in the world are such narrow-minded people."
"Are you trying to shift the blame onto me?" Cheng Xianyi suddenly interjected.
The sudden roll call left Professor Lu's expression frozen.
In this situation, shouldn't she be blushing and holding her breath? How could she just point it out like that! How was he supposed to respond?
Instructor Lu's brow twitched twice, and he continued, "Sect Master Cheng is indeed very perceptive. Instead of picking on the academy in your words, you might as well talk about some news about the killing weapon."
"There has never been a major chaotic battle in the Central Plains."
