Zhou Qianyan's every word was in defense of the academy, her tone sincere and her expression resolute. In addition, she hit the point of illogicality, which caused Zhou Zhenguang and the Zhou family to fall silent.
The reputation of Nanyue Academy is indeed one of integrity, incorruptibility, and non-competitive spirit; it is a sacred place of learning in the hearts of all students.
How could such an existence provoke a confrontation between two forces?
What benefit would this bring to the academy?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng stopped in his tracks, his eyes deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, the girls who followed were flushed with anger, looking at each other. If it weren't for the timing, they would have rushed in to compete with Zhou Qianyan!
Is he still considered upright?
And it's cheap?
shameless!
They say they won't get involved in the power struggle, but in reality they want it all and wish they could monopolize all the power in the world!
"But, if it wasn't Nanyue Academy that did it, then who could it be...?"
"It's true that Xianyi was kidnapped, and it's also true that those people captured the Black Dragon and dismembered Acai. Your eldest sister witnessed all of these things herself, there's no way they could be false!"
"Besides, in the Central Plains, no one would dare to impersonate the Nanyue Academy, right? Qianyan, could it be...?"
Zhou Zhenguang's tentative question had not yet been uttered.
Zhou Qianyan shook her head confidently, interrupting him. With an attitude that explaining was exhausting, she sighed and repeated, "Father, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"If this was really done by Nanyue Academy, Cheng Xianyi, who was kidnapped, would not have been able to escape from their hands. With those ugly and clumsy guards, how could they be a match for our fellow disciples?"
"Don't you think about it? The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. How could this be possible?"
"So it must be an imposter!"
Having said that,
A dark glint and unease flashed in Zhou Qianyan's eyes. She looked at Zhou Zhenguang and said, "If you ask who else in the Central Plains would dare to disrespect the academy, it would only be Cheng Gui Pavilion."
"Cheng Guige was involved in this matter the whole time, but managed to extricate himself completely."
"Moreover, this force is extremely ambitious. In such a short time, it has become a well-known organization in the Central Plains, which shows how vicious and far-sighted its leader is."
"father!"
"You've all been deceived and sown discord!"
"This whole thing was orchestrated by Cheng Gui Pavilion. It has nothing to do with the academy. They're just trying to gain the Zhou family's trust, obtain the killing weapon from them, and then unify the world!"
The moment the last sentence was uttered, the entire hall fell silent.
At that moment, Zhou Cheng suddenly pushed the door open.
at the same time.
That voice, even more composed and calm than it had been a few months ago, rang out from the main entrance: "Third Sister says the academy is innocent? That everything was orchestrated by Cheng Gui Pavilion? But what incriminating evidence have you found?"
Zhou Cheng has arrived.
Zhou Zhenguang and the rest of the Zhou family were delighted and immediately turned to look at the source of the sound.
In that instant, the group spotted Zhou Cheng striding towards them.
They also saw more than a dozen female members standing behind Zhou Cheng.
Each of them was beautiful and graceful, walking with a lithe, lotus-like gait. Standing there, their eyes held just the right amount of shyness and innocence, clearly indicating that they were well-educated and virtuous young ladies.
this?
so much?
Zhou Zhenguang's pupils dilated for a moment, and he looked at Zhou Cheng with a questioning and shocked gaze.
"They all came to visit Xianyi to catch up, and since they have nowhere to go for the time being, they're staying for a few days," Zhou Cheng explained casually, then looked at Zhou Qianyan again.
"Fourth brother..."
The moment Zhou Qianyan saw Zhou Cheng, she was deeply moved and pursed her lips, looking him up and down before smiling and saying, "It's been so many years, you've grown up."
"For the past few years, I have been living in the academy for academic purposes, and now that I see it, it is not the same as before."
"My parents said that the Zhou family was able to leave the capital because of your hard work."
"Those grenades and bullets were all because of you. If it weren't for that, the Zhou family would probably have been devoured by Emperor Yan long ago, leaving not even bones behind. I used to worry that you wouldn't be able to support the Zhou family, but now I can rest assured, Third Sister."
"But you're still naive. You believe whatever others say. What good can Cheng Gui Pavilion be? They used to climb the ladder by any means necessary, stepping on countless corpses."
"Now, they've become even more vicious in their pursuit of weapons."
