If it were an ordinary reason, Ye Tian would have easily covered it up. But since it was the raging gossip fire of scholars...
Well then, Ye Tian decided to let them go their own way.
In any case, these two grand ambitions are already enough to shock the world.
Chen Dexing and Chen Zhang were unwilling to directly find high-level bosses for him to level up, so they made him grind low-level monsters instead. Couldn't Ye Tian just play ranked matches himself?
This time, Ye Tian directly broke through the Confucian and Daoist Tower, which must have terrified these people.
"Knock knock knock..."
Just then, Ye Tian suddenly heard footsteps not far away, which startled him. He glanced to the side unintentionally and was nearly scared to death by the scholars, but instead, he was terrified by them.
A large group of people, led by an old man with a white beard, followed by a group of people in scholar's robes. If you look closely, you'll find that Zhuge Yanyu is also among them.
The old man stroked his beard and said coldly, "You audacious evil spirit, daring to possess a great scholar of my academy, you are simply courting death."
Ye Tian: "???"
Chen Zhang: "???"
Chen Dexing: "???"
Ye Tian and the two academicians looked at each other, their faces full of bewilderment.
When did Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing become possessed by evil spirits? Ye Tian was filled with doubt. Looking at Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing, he was clearly even more confused. When did they become possessed by evil spirits?
The white-bearded old man blew on his beard and said coldly, "This mere evil spirit dares to possess Academicians Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing. Do you know that these two academicians devoted themselves to our Hanlin Academy until their dying breath?"
"Alright, today I must destroy you two evil spirits! Attack! Burn the evil spirits with the true fire of Confucianism. This day next year, we will hold a memorial service for the two academicians who sacrificed their lives for the academy!"
The old man with the white beard's first sentence sounded reasonable. Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing even nodded slightly, seemingly wanting to praise the old man a few more times.
But the second half of the sentence had just been uttered.
Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing were almost driven mad with anger.
What do you mean by holding a memorial service for these two academicians next year? Is that even human language? And you want to burn your body with Confucian fire?
If they had made even the slightest mistake during the operation, both academicians could have survived.
Is this old bastard planning to kill them both?
Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing, their eyes blazing with fury and their teeth clenched, angrily called out his name, "Kong Chan! You old bastard! Are you planning to kill us?"
They almost unanimously cursed.
The white-bearded old man, known as Kong Chan, was taken aback, first pausing in surprise. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "What a wicked spirit! Even on the verge of death, it dares to impersonate two great Confucian scholars! It's utterly courting death! All of you, charge! Use the true fire of Confucianism to burn these two evil spirits to death!"
all of a sudden.
The great Confucian scholars were all like they'd been injected with adrenaline, rushing to join them.
Ye Tian swallowed hard. These two, Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing, don't seem like good people! Now that this has happened, everyone's planning to kill them both.
We mustn't let the fire at the city gate spread to the fish in the moat. It's one thing if these two old people get hurt, but if he gets hurt, it would be a much bigger problem.
certainly.
Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing would not sit idly by and wait for their doom.
Almost instantly, Chen Zhang shouted hysterically, "Kong Chan, you old scoundrel, how dare you play dumb! It seems I have to reveal what you did to Academician Liu's Confucian Monument..."
He had only said half of what he was saying.
Bang!
Ye Tian then saw a surge of powerful Confucian true energy erupt, and before Chen Zhang could finish speaking, he was directly blasted away.
Kong Chan appeared before Chen Zhang as if he had shrunk the distance, and said coldly, "You evil spirit, impersonating a master of my sect, dare to spout nonsense. Trying to sow discord, you're simply courting death!"
Chen Zhang: "@￥#%*x"
He wanted to speak, but as soon as he exerted force on his chest, Kong Chan stepped on him, rendering him unable to utter a single word. He could only fall into complete silence, as if choked.
Kong Chan glared fiercely at Chen Zhang.
Chen Zhang seemed to understand something and blinked frantically.
Kong Chan then loosened his foot from Chen Zhang's chest, his face showing a look of sudden realization, and exclaimed, "Academician Chen, you've actually woken up! You and Academician Chen Dexing have devoted yourselves to our academy to the point of death, and you must have been envied by evil spirits who want to get rid of you. Fortunately, I arrived in time to save you from this predicament."
If they had arrived any earlier, these two academicians would probably be ashes by now. The whole casket probably only weighs about three pounds.
The main factor is the box weight.
Ye Tian inwardly cursed, thinking that the academy's dean, Kong Chan, was definitely a cunning old fox. If he hadn't known beforehand that these two were possessed by evil spirits, it would be strange if they hadn't. It was clearly a case of settling a personal score!
There is a saying that goes, "It's better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble."
Since he could make another friend, why invite enemies? So Ye Tian wisely refrained from speaking up and exposing their true intentions.
"Hehe." Chen Dexing chuckled, but the insincerity of his smile made Ye Tian's skin crawl.
That old guy must be holding a grudge.
Although Kong Chan is the dean, he is probably not immune to being schemed against by Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing.
The infighting among scholars is truly inextricable; even those no longer connected to politics, hidden within academies, can still engage in rivalry.
"Zhuge Yanyu, come here." Kong Chan summoned the young man to his side.
Zhuge Yanyu was also gesturing wildly, vividly recounting how the two academicians had encountered evil spirits.
In conclusion.
Chen Zhang and Chen Dexing could only put their arms around Kong Chan's shoulders and thank the dean for stopping them from encountering the evil spirit...
