In the main hall on the first floor of the Meixue Spiritual Building, Xun Yu and Zhou Liuyun sat on the main seats on the left and right.

No matter Chu Jie, the governors of the three states, or the representatives of the major families in the three states, their eyes jumped when they saw the seats where Xun Yu and Zhou Liuyun were sitting.

Xun Yu was the founder of Jishan Academy and the master of the academy.

Zhou Liuyun is only the supervisory scholar of the academy, in other words, the role of the dean of studies, and his status in the academy is far inferior to that of Xun Yu.

In the Jin Dynasty, the left was considered more noble. Zhou Liuyun sat on the left hand side of Xun Yu. Although they were both sitting on the same level, their status had already been distinguished. It was obvious that Zhou Liuyun's status was higher than Xun Yu, who was more than twice his age, and whose reputation and qualifications were far superior to his.

The academy students who had just become Zhou Liuyun's disciples were of course all excited and encouraged. The family representatives behind them also had smiles on their faces, and they all looked at Zhou Liuyun with great enthusiasm.

Zhu Jie laughed softly and glanced at Sima Zhuifeng with ill intentions from time to time. The higher Zhou Liuyun's status, the greater the possibility of replacing Sima Zhuifeng. Zhu Jie swore on his ancestor's tablet that if Sima Zhuifeng was really driven off the stage, he would break all of Sima Zhuifeng's ribs with his own hands and make him cry and crawl all the way back to the capital of Dajin.

Sima Zhuifeng had a gloomy expression on his face and exchanged glances with Mo Yu from time to time.

Chu Jie sat on his horse and sword below the three governors, glancing at Zhou Liuyun viciously from time to time. Occasionally, he looked even more aggressive and cast fierce eyes at the representatives of the big families in Yizhou.

Except for Ling Lu and Ling Yue, father and son, who shivered from time to time under Chu Jie's gaze, Chu Jie helplessly discovered that the leading figures of the wealthy families in Yizhou who once treated him with respect dared to look him directly in the eye, and even had a hint of provocation in their eyes!

In the past, these people were no different from his Chu family's servants in front of him. Why are they so much bolder today?

The angry Chu Jie glared fiercely at Li Zheng, Zhao Xing and other managers of the wealthy families in Dajin. These managers of wealthy families looked at Chu Jie with disdain and a hint of contempt!

To these wealthy families in Dajin, Chu Jie was just a representative of a local rich man! Even if the wealth of this local rich man was too amazing, the nature of the local rich man would never change!

There was a layer of heat rising faintly above Chu Jie's head.

Looking at the managers of these powerful families in Dajin, he really wanted to draw his sword and chop these people to pieces!

But he remembered Xun Yu's warning, and he absolutely did not dare to really tear his face at the Longmen Banquet. As Xun Yu said, if Chu Jie really dared to disrupt the Longmen Banquet today, he would be the mortal enemy of all scholars in Dajin!

Hundreds of years ago, when the Jin Dynasty was still ruled by aristocratic families, scholars were nothing!

But now, the scholars represented by the major academies have become a powerful force that cannot be underestimated. Although these scholars fight among themselves, if someone dares to provoke them, these academies will immediately unite and crush that person to pieces!

In recent years, many aristocratic families and wealthy families in Dajin have been overthrown overnight, which is closely related to the rise of these academy forces!

Chu was not afraid of the Bailu Academy alone, but as Xun Yu said, he could not afford to offend the scholars of Dajin.

Therefore, no matter how unruly Chu Jie was, he could only use the heads of Chu Qie's family to intimidate the Ling family and disgust Zhou Liuyun. Even if he really wanted to fight and destroy the Longmen Banquet, Chu Jie could not bear to do that!

Not to mention, the combined fleet of thirty-two wealthy families of Dajin is at the Baimang River commercial dock. Their private armies have already landed and set up camps around the city of Qizhou.

Chu Jie looked at the many distinguished guests in the hall fiercely. He found helplessly that the wealthy families in Minzhou suddenly felt confident and no longer feared him. The wealthy families in Minzhou, as long as their children worshipped Zhou Liuyun, looked at him with provocative eyes.

Those who were a little hesitant were the representatives of the wealthy families in Mangzhou.

The attitude of Mangzhou governor Mo Yu was ambiguous. He did not seem to support Zhou Liuyun's plan, so the wealthy families in Mangzhou were hesitant and did not really stick with Zhou Liuyun.

With a sneer, Chu Jie already had an idea in his mind.

He suddenly heard Zhao Xing beside him asking Li Zheng: "Where is that guy? Did he escape?"

Li Zheng sneered and gritted his teeth and said, "We have spies everywhere. Where can he run to? Unless he doesn't want his brother's life! In short, Chu Tian must die today!"

Chu Jie narrowed his eyes. Chu Tian, ​​he remembered this name.

Be it the Longmen Banquet or the disturbances in the past two days, weren’t they all troubles created by Ling Yue in order to plot against Chu Tian?

Chu Jie's eyes flickered, and he looked between Sima Zhuifeng and Ling Yue for a few times. He suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand. Damn it, who was that top-level master who killed Gong Bailu?

Could it be that these wealthy families from the capital of Dajin were the ones who took action?

Chu Jie shuddered and looked at Li Zheng and Zhao Xing thoughtfully.

In Chu Jie's opinion, Li Zheng, Zhao Xing and others are very likely to do such a thing. It is simply a matter of killing several birds with one stone. It weakens Sima Zhuifeng and makes him look bad; it strikes at Ling Shi and weakens his position in Zhou Liuyun's heart, so that Ling Yue will not replace his son in Zhou Liuyun's heart; it is also a direct slap in the face of the Chu family, giving them a warning!

"That's right, it's you!" A fierce light flashed in Chu Jie's eyes.

He was certain that the people who had killed nearly a thousand elite soldiers of the state, four hundred private soldiers of the Ling family, and even his Chu family's priest Gong Bailu the night before yesterday must have been top-notch masters sent by the wealthy families of Dajin!

If it was them, everything would be explained!

There was a sword on his waist, the red bronze sword that Chu Jie played with every day. Chu Jie gritted his teeth, his palm subconsciously pressed on the hilt, and stared at Li Zheng and Zhao Xing fiercely.

Suddenly, Zi Xiaosheng walked out from beside Zhou Liuyun, holding a ruler and smiling.

"Dear guests, welcome to the grand ceremony of accepting disciples for Zhou Liuyun, Mr. Zhou, Master Zhou, and Brother Zhou."

"In order to repay the enthusiasm of our distinguished guests, Brother Zhou has specially prepared several spiritual creatures created by heaven and earth today."

"Come on, bring out those ten golden carps so that we can enjoy them! I'm not exaggerating. Even the emperor of Jin doesn't have the good fortune to enjoy them. Hey, we are lucky enough to taste these divine creatures today. It's all thanks to Brother Zhou, who is much more blessed than the emperor of Jin!"

Zi Xiaosheng started talking nonsense, and Zhou Liuyun and Xun Yu's faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

The faces of many guests in the hall also became extremely strange!

Much more blessed than the Emperor of Jin?

My dear brother, where do you get the courage to say such things?

Now that you have said such things, who can eat this golden carp with a clear conscience today?

Behind the zither platform, Lu Gu, who was cordially invited by the Jishan Academy, plucked the strings of the zither, and a ray of fairy music slowly emerged.

Amid the sound of gurgling water, an old scholar from the Jishan Academy, who was proficient in the secret art of water and cloud, walked into the hall holding a white cloud and ten lively golden carps. Mobile users please visit m.Read for a better reading experience.
