The previously noisy environment immediately became quiet, and everyone was stunned by the scene.
The dignified Prince of Jin was actually killed by Zu An in full view of everyone?
The soldiers in the Prince of Jin's residence were filled with horror. They were responsible for protecting the Prince of Jin, and now that the Prince of Jin had been killed, they were all guilty.
But they dared not avenge the Prince of Jin.
After all, Prince Jin and Elder Shen had just died in front of them. The enemy had killed those two as easily as slaughtering chickens, let alone them, a group of lowly soldiers.
No one knows who started it, but many soldiers fled in panic, fearing they would be silenced if they stayed.
Zuan didn't stop them, nor did he make things difficult for these ordinary soldiers.
He was in a terrible mood today, simply because he had inexplicably become a grandson of the former dynasty's emperor. Thinking of how many of his relatives had died at the hands of the Zhao family, and seeing this brat, Prince Jin, taking advantage of his kindness, he couldn't help but lose his temper.
Now I feel much clearer about my thoughts.
Seeing the soldiers of the Prince of Jin's mansion flee, the crowd that had been secretly watching from afar suddenly realized what was happening and all ran away as fast as they could, fearing that if they were too slow, they would be silenced.
For a moment, the area within several miles became exceptionally quiet.
Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe arrived at Zu An's side and looked at the Prince of Jin again in disbelief. Sure enough, he was dead beyond dead.
Both women turned pale, clearly realizing the seriousness of the consequences.
Murong Qinghe couldn't help but say, "Brother Zu, you made such a big mistake to save me. In my opinion, we should escape from the capital before the court officials realize what's happening and wander the world together. The world is so big, the court may not be able to catch us."
Chu Youzhao's eyes lit up: "Great! Let's go together, the three of us, and live a carefree and chivalrous life."
Although she bore the responsibility of the Chu family as the heir, none of that mattered compared to her brother-in-law's safety.
Zuan: "..."
“I don’t think this is a big mistake. You don’t need to be nervous. It’s not as serious as you think,” Zuan reassured him.
Murong Qinghe and Chu Youzhao stared wide-eyed. You killed the Prince of Jin in front of everyone, and that's not serious enough?
“But we can’t stay here any longer.” After thinking for a moment, Zuan said to the two women, “I’ll take you somewhere else.”
He then instructed his household staff that if anyone from the imperial court came, they should tell the truth and not conceal anything from them.
After arranging all this, he took the two women back to Yuquan Mountain.
What follows is bound to be turbulent, and only the academy is free to cause trouble.
Not long after entering the academy, he happened to run into Xie Daoyun, who was on her way down the mountain.
The other person was overjoyed to see him: "Brother Zu, I just heard that you came to the academy and then left again. I was wondering why you didn't come to tell me. I didn't expect you to come back."
Seeing this classically elegant young lady so excited and proactive, Chu Youzhao's eyes held a hint of wariness. This person used to be acquainted with her sister. They say a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow, but she...
Halfway through her thought, Chu Youzhao suddenly sighed. What time is it? She still has the mind to care about such trivial matters. The most important thing right now is her brother-in-law's safety.
“Sister Ling’er,” Zu An’s mood improved upon seeing Xie Daoyun. “Could you please inform the other teachers to gather in the Chancellor’s room?”
Xie Daoyun was overjoyed: "Great!"
Once my elder brother Zu became the chief priest, I would spend more and more time with him.
Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe followed them all the way to the top of the mountain. Looking at the scenery along the way, they were both extremely excited. They knew that such a place was usually very mysterious and could only be visited by the chief priest and a few other people.
When Zuan returned to the mountain hut, he found that the old servant was indeed gone, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He cleared out two rooms in the courtyard and said to the two women, "You will stay here for the time being."
The courtyard of the chief priest looks small, but it is actually a hidden gem, more than enough to accommodate several people at the same time.
“We live here, this is the residence of the chief priest…” Both women were astonished.
“From now on, I am the new chief priest.” Zuan smiled.
Before the two women could react, a soft snort came: "Such arrogance."
The group looked up and saw a beautiful young woman dressed in a flamboyant manner sitting on the windowsill, swinging her white legs back and forth.
“Qi Yaoguang.” Zu An smiled. This girl has always had a strong personality.
"Although we have a good relationship, we can be friends, but I won't accept you as the chief priest." As Qi Yaoguang spoke, a compass appeared in her hand, on which a starry sky was faintly projected. "Do you know Zi Wei Dou Shu? Do you understand the power of stars and divination? If you don't know anything, how can you be the chief priest and guide me?"
"Zi Wei Dou Shu, divination..." Zu An raised an eyebrow; he actually knew both of these now.
Before he could speak, a burst of laughter, "No, no, no," rang out from outside, and soon a short, fat man strode in with an arrogant air.
Although the fat man was stout, he wore a blue robe and a hat, and had a mustache, giving him a strangely comical appearance.
Yin Shi, the eleventh disciple of the former chief priest, was most skilled at debating and arguing: "I think Mr. Zu is qualified to be the new chief priest."
Clearly, Zaun's first visit to the academy had left a deep impression on him.
"Tch~" Qi Yaoguang crossed her arms and, knowing his temperament, turned her head to the side to avoid arguing with him.
Yin Shi was somewhat unwilling: "Junior Sister, do you want to hear my reasons?"
"I won't listen." Qi Yaoguang was not fooled.
