This Eastern Conference completely allayed the concerns of the leaders. The Nanyue Academy possessed the skills of weaponry and the study of Mohism. All they needed to do was obtain a hand grenade to analyze its manufacturing method.
Zhou Qianyan, on the other hand, kept insisting on fairness and justice, and agreed to retrieve the item without hesitation.
Finally, with the secret assistance of Cheng Gui Pavilion, as long as things go smoothly, Zhou Qianyan will obtain the grenade, send it back to the academy, and successfully develop and manufacture it. From then on, the name of the Zhou family will no longer exist in the world!
The group left Yuanlong Ancient City with smiles and confidence on their faces.
They thought,
In this world, no one is more suited to backstabbing than Zhou Qianyan!
The Zhou family probably never imagined that their own daughter would betray her own flesh and blood for some kind of noble cause or morality, right? Hahahaha!!
"master."
"You didn't see the Dongyan prince's true colors at the end; those people were all grinning from ear to ear!"
"What's wrong with Zhou Qianyan? Has she gone mad?"
"Does she really think she's a savior? Sending grenades to the academy will bring peace to the world? For this empty reputation, she'd even abandon her own parents and younger brother?"
"Zhou Qianyan has probably already set off and will arrive in Yan Kingdom in a few days. We can't just watch Young Master Zhou be deceived!"
Ziyan had a lot of opinions about Zhou Qianyan at this moment.
She had never seen such a fool who couldn't distinguish right from wrong!
Stealing the grenades and letting those forces in the east take them for themselves is good for the people of the world?
Nanyue Academy is nothing but a hypocrite! They claim to have no interest in power, but in reality, everything they do is aimed at consolidating Nanyue Academy's position.
What would happen if the grenade fell into the hands of the academy? No one could predict the consequences!
The carriage moved slowly along the road leading to the Yan Kingdom.
Cheng Xianyi leaned lazily against the window, her eyes slightly closed, her hand supporting her cheek, taking in all of Ziyan's indignant words: "What kind of person do you think Zhou Qianyan is?"
"hypocritical!"
"madness!"
"ruthless!"
"You ingrate!"
Cheng Xianyi slowly opened her eyes and casually asked, "According to the information we found from Cheng Gui Pavilion, what kind of person was Zhou Qianyan?"
Ziyan paused for a few seconds, as if recalling the description on the letter, and said uncertainly, "She only has academic interests in her eyes. Once she starts reading, she forgets everything else and doesn't care about anything else."
"Aside from academics, I sometimes struggle to think clearly when faced with other matters."
"But she is very good to her family. The reason she went to study at Nanyue Academy and did not dare to slack off for many years was because she was worried that Young Master Zhou would not be able to support the Zhou family. She wanted to be Young Master Zhou's support as soon as possible."
She's a little different from Zhou Qianyan today, yet also somewhat similar.
They're all too naive.
One naively believed that the academy was a place of high moral character, incapable of committing any despicable acts.
One naively thought that simply removing the hand grenade would bring peace to the world, never imagining the complicated consequences.
Ziyan suddenly froze in place, her expression shifting rapidly.
"Did you know that Nanyue Academy has recently developed a material that can change a person's appearance?"
"Wh-what?" Ziyan suddenly raised her head.
“Master, you mean... when those people from Nanyue Academy arrived in Yan Kingdom, they impersonated members of the Chenggui Pavilion branch and even impersonated the Pavilion Master to conduct transactions, which was not just an impersonation of their identities.”
"Or is it an impersonation of appearance?"
"Then this Zhou Qianyan?"
A thousand waves surged in Ziyan's heart.
Cheng Xianyi lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside, looking towards the direction of Nanyue Academy from a great distance. She said in a long, clear voice, "Who knows?"
"We'll find out what's going on once we go to Yan Kingdom."
"Let's spare Professor Lu's life for now. Let go of this line; I want to catch a big one."
“His life alone is not enough. I want to set up a scheme to kill all the people in power in the East.”
Aren't these people in the east just eyeing the grenades?
Isn't this just wishful thinking to steal things back to Nanyue Academy?
Ziyan may not know one thing.
Cheng Xianyi, however, knew.
When she was kidnapped by Senior Brother Lu and taken to the dark room, she heard Senior Brother Hao, who was covered in blood from the explosion, mention that when they impersonated Cheng Guige and made a deal with Zhou Cheng to exchange for weapons, Zhou Cheng outwardly agreed to the exchange.
But in reality........
That grenade, besides exploding upon landing...
There is another usage.
Set a timer!
All the students and guards who went to the border failed to trade for weapons and instead all died within the territory of Yan. This shocking secret probably hasn't had time to reach the academy yet.
Since it hasn't been leaked yet, let's keep it completely from being leaked!
