Chapter 1225 Shadow
As he walked out of the gate, a familiar, agile figure jumped off the carriage and landed steadily.
Then, he turned around, stretched out his hand, and took another familiar, slender figure from the carriage.
They both raised their heads and faced him head-on.
The moment their eyes met, the world seemed to be quiet, yet many noisy things were echoing in each other's eyes.
Jian Ruocheng's breathing stagnated for a moment.
But, it was only for a moment before he calmed down. Facing Zhu Feng's heavy and deep gaze, he lightly brushed his sleeves and bowed to them, saying, "You two are here."
Zhu Feng looked up at him.
"Yeah, here I come."
The two people just stood there, looking at each other.
Speaking of which, they haven't seen each other for a long time, especially Zhu Feng. After losing his memory, he just kept hearing the name "Jian Ruocheng". During this period, it even kept echoing in his ears.
When I actually saw it, I had an indescribable feeling.
Hidden behind the four words "Zhujian Academy", the person who stirred up endless waves in the court and even the entire Great Yan Dynasty was Jian Ruocheng in front of him.
He felt a little complicated.
"you--"
Jian Ruocheng looked at him.
"Jian Ruocheng."
"My name is Jian Ruocheng."
"I—I have wanted to see you for a long time."
"Each other, each other."
When the two of them were talking, they were very calm, just like the most ordinary way two strangers would act when they met. But Nan Yan, who was standing aside, saw this scene and listened to their voices, and felt a chill all over her body.
Although she knew that there would be no conflict at this time, she felt even more uneasy when she saw the two of them facing each other and talking calmly.
Even his face looked a little pale.
Jian Ruocheng glanced at her subconsciously, but immediately, his gaze was caught by Zhu Feng, who also looked at Si Nanyan and frowned immediately.
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Master, Xuan'er is in your academy, is he okay?"
Jian Ruocheng said, "You two came here today because of what happened in the academy yesterday, right?"
"good."
As he spoke, Jian Ruocheng made a "please" gesture.
Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at the simple yet elegant academy gate. He was silent for a moment, then turned to Nan Yan and said, "Let's go."
“…”
Nan Yan nodded and followed him inside.
Beside them, Ran Xiaoyu and several other attendants in plain clothes, who were actually elite members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, followed them into this quiet and elegant academy.
On the street on the other side of Jinling City, a horse-drawn carriage was moving rapidly. Because the speed was too fast, it almost overturned a small stall on the roadside when turning.
The vendor jumped up and yelled, "Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Even so, the speed of the carriage did not slow down at all.
Even Xia Fuxiu, who was already sitting in the bumpy carriage, lifted the curtain and said to the driver, "Faster, faster."
The driver had no choice but to shake the reins vigorously: "Go!"
The horses pulling the carts were galloping along the road.
However, even though they were so fast, they still couldn't escape the figures following behind them and their sharp gazes like hawks.
Between the eyes, the secret language is conveyed——
"He must be arriving soon."
"Everyone be careful."
"Be ready to pass the message back at any time."
"yes!"
The people in the carriage were unaware of this and were still looking anxiously ahead. At the end of the avenue, a small building appeared faintly.

As I walked in, the surroundings were extremely quiet.
Only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest made the academy seem even more quiet.
However, when they passed through the door in the middle of the open space and saw the classroom in front of them, they heard bursts of orderly reading sounds.
"The Way of the University is to manifest the illuminating virtue, to be close to the people, and to strive for the highest good..."
Although it was a simple article, listening to the students' orderly recitation was very comforting. Zhu Feng stopped and listened for a while, then said, "Seeing so many rumors about Zhujian Academy, I thought your academy would teach something different."
Jian Ruocheng looked ahead with an indifferent look.
“People are just different. They don’t need to be taught.”
“People are just different?”
Hearing this, Zhu Feng glanced at him and said, "So, you want to make them more different?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng did not respond to this sentence, but walked around the classroom and went inside.
After walking along a small path through the bamboo forest, they arrived at the student dormitory. The door here was different from the one Zhu Chengxuan and the others had seen before. It was no longer locked. However, when they walked in, they found that except for the dormitory on this road, the other roads were locked.
So, they could only go to the room in front.
Zhu Feng glanced around.
Faintly, there seemed to be a figure swaying.
But at this time, Jian Ruocheng said: "Please come this way."
Zhu Feng withdrew his gaze and followed him forward to the room.
The door opened, and Zhu Chengxuan, who had been waiting eagerly inside, immediately stepped forward: "Father——"
The word "Emperor" almost came out of his mouth.
However, when he met Zhu Feng's deep eyes, he swallowed the word back and quickly changed his words: "Father, father."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at him with a cold expression.
Even when facing assassinations and even secret harm from others, Zhu Chengxuan was still able to thrive here. But when he faced his father, he immediately became dejected, lowered his head, and dared not breathe.
Li Bushang walked forward and bowed to Zhu Feng.
However, his eyes involuntarily looked behind him.
Zhu Feng stood at the door, with the sunlight shining in from behind him. He was originally in the shade, and at this moment, his face became even gloomier.
He said in a deep voice: "Is this how you protect my son?"
“…”
Li Bushang was stunned and lowered his head: "I admit my guilt."
"snort!"
Zhu Feng snorted coldly and took another step forward. Li Bushang had no choice but to step aside. Zhu Feng then walked to the bed with Jian Ruocheng and looked at the unconscious person on the bed.
Although only one day had passed, Qian Xiuwen's condition was much better than yesterday when he had lost too much blood and looked pale and lifeless.
Zhu Feng looked down at him, silent.
At this time, Zhu Chengxuan said softly behind him: "Father, I am not——"
"shut up!"
Zhu Feng said solemnly, "I asked you to come to the academy and see, this is what you saw!"
"I--"
Zhu Chengxuan didn't dare to speak at all this time.
After a while, Zhu Feng turned around and said to Jian Ruocheng, "Master, do you have any tea?"
