At the railing on the second floor of Yushan Academy, Lin Zhongtian looked at Yun Ye who was sighing beside him and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why are you sighing? Didn't you say you would take responsibility for the consequences? You said it so grandly just now, why do you regret it now?"

Yun Ye sighed and said, "It's not that I regret it, but this matter involves His Majesty, which is really a bit troublesome."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "It seems that the emperor thinks that the Dou family is too powerful and wants to use this incident to suppress them. It's a pity that the Pei family, who is being used as a pawn by the emperor, will probably suffer a serious loss this time."

Yun Ye shook his head and said, "With the emperor's support behind me, even if I fail this time, I will be able to make a comeback in the future. This is not what I'm worried about. The emperor pushed me out to compete with the Dou family. Behind this... could it be you?"

"My reasons?"

Lin Zhongtian laughed and said, "Are you saying that the emperor is afraid of me?"

Yun Ye shook his head and said, "It's not that he's afraid. It's your appearance that has made the emperor more interested in Bai Yujing. His move is not only to use me to suppress the power of the Dou family, but also to test me through the Dou family."

Lin Zhongtian said with interest: "Doesn't he treat you as his nephew?"

Yun Ye smiled bitterly: "Brother Tian, ​​you are joking. Who is the emperor? He is Li Er. Do you think that with Li Er's personality, he will really care for his children and nephews like an elder?"

Lin Zhongtian thought about it and nodded, "That's true."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but think of Fan Xian from the next world.

That guy and Yun Ye should have a lot of common topics, and they can be introduced to each other in the future.

While they were talking, Yun family guard Lao Zhuang climbed up to the attic and reported in a low voice: "My Lord, a group of people came to the academy. I heard from the Fourth Prince that the leader is his third cousin, the third son of the Dou family."

The Fourth Prince is Li Tai, the fourth son of Li Er. In the original history, he was a talented and intelligent prince. However, due to Li Er's excessive doting on him, he had some ideas about the throne, and was later demoted for fighting for the throne.

But in this world, Yun Ye took advantage of the situation and successfully taught Li Tai from a prince to a science student.

Now he has no interest in the throne. Instead, he wants to study hard and take a look at the scientific world that Yun Ye talked about, which can control thunder and fire.

Because of this, Li Tai still has a strong sense of belonging to Yushan Academy.

Faced with the Dou family, his in-laws, and Yushan Academy, he chose the latter without hesitation.

Hearing Lao Zhuang's words, Yun Ye frowned and muttered, "Here you are so soon?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "What are you going to do? Do you need me to go out and kill them all?"

Lao Zhuang was shocked and quickly looked up at Yun Ye.

Yun Ye smiled helplessly: "Brother, why are you so murderous? Killing someone in front of the academy gate, isn't it obvious that it is related to me?"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said thoughtfully: "I understand. When he returns to Beijing, I will kill him halfway. This way, he will have nothing to do with the academy!"

Yun Ye's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Senior Brother!"

Lin Zhongtian said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't be nervous, it's just someone from the Dou family, Gongshu Mu happened to have built the maze, if he has the ability, let him break in and take the person away."

Yun Ye finally smiled: "I thought so too."

At this point, he turned to look at Lao Zhuang: "Go, tell him that the Marquis said he is not here. If he still wants to enter Yushan Academy, then just break in through the academy gate!"

Lao Zhuang nodded, took the order and left.

Lin Zhongtian showed an excited expression on his face. He immediately grabbed Yun Ye and jumped up, landing on the top of the tallest building of Yushan Academy, overlooking the scene in front of the academy gate with great interest.

I saw Lao Zhuang and his guards stopping the group of people. The young man in the lead had a smile on his face at first, but then his face quickly turned ugly when he heard Lao Zhuang's words.

Yun Ye heaved a sigh of relief and said, "His emotions are very clear, and it seems that he doesn't have any scheming."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "It's normal for young people to not be able to hide their emotions. Look, your emotional management is pretty good. You smiled again so quickly and started to think of a solution."

Yun Ye looked down and saw that the young man was smiling and talking to Lao Zhuang.

Not long after, the young man dismounted from his horse and walked towards the gate of the academy with a confident look on his face.

If it were someone else, they might have really just thought it was true, but the Dou family was different. Gongshu Mu built a maze and engaged in large-scale construction. This news was no secret among the powerful people in Chang'an, so the Dou family naturally knew about it.

Under such circumstances, they still dared to send this person out, which shows that this person is proficient in various subjects and is also familiar with mechanical engineering.

But unfortunately, Gongshujia's mechanical skills are not something that ordinary people can crack.

Even if this person is really talented and spends a lot of time to reach the end of the maze, he will definitely not be able to enter the academy.

The reason is very simple. After Lin Zhongtian passed through the maze, he suggested to Gongshu Mu to transform the last screen wall.

When Yun Ye came, Gongshu Mu wanted to verify Lin Zhongtian's words, so he changed to the previous screen wall.

But now that Yun Ye had successfully passed the level, Gongshu Mu quickly ordered people to switch to the new version.

And this new version is no longer "If three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher."

Gongshu Mu accepted Lin Zhongtian's suggestion and changed the eight characters and a comma into nine numbers from one to nine, with two to nine forming an eight-digit password and the first one being the enter key to confirm the password. Lin Zhongtian also gave this version of the screen a name, "The Escaped One".

“How mean!”

After hearing what Lin Zhongtian said about the version update, Yun Ye couldn't help but sigh.

In this way, the screen wall is completely transformed into an eight-digit password, with more than one million combinations and arrangements. Unless the person is extremely lucky, it is impossible to guess the correct password.

Thinking of this, Yun Ye couldn't help but look forward to it.

But unfortunately, this person failed to live up to his expectations, because until two hours later, he was still wandering around in the maze and had not found the shadow wall that was the final boss.

Seeing this scene, Gongshu Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief and comforted himself in his heart that the Gongshu family's mechanical skills still had their merits.

Just as the gentlemen in the academy said before, this is the ability of Lin Zhongtian and Yun Ye, not the fault of Gongshu Mu!

Another hour passed, and the third son of the Dou family walked out of the main gate of the academy for the 27th time. The initial smile and confidence on his handsome face were gone, replaced by fatigue and trance.

He sat at the entrance of the academy, took the kettle handed to him by the guard, drank a sip of water, then his face changed for a while, and finally he stood up and left Yushan Academy with a group of people.

Seeing this scene, Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh.

Li Tai, who was also watching the show, glanced at the two of them and curled his lips and said, "What's there to be happy about? The gate of the academy can only stop him temporarily, but not forever. With the relationship between the Dou family and the emperor, they only need to go to the palace to ask for an imperial decree, and they can easily enter the academy."

Yun Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that simple. If it was before today, the Dou family could indeed do this."

"But since the third son of the Dou family came to the academy, the nature of the matter has changed. The Dou family went from coming to ask for people to challenging the academy's knowledge. They were defeated in front of the academy. If they do this again, it will damage the face of the Dou family."

"When the time comes, I will just spread the word that the Dou family cannot break the academy's formation and can only rely on force to seize it. The Dou family's reputation of passing down poetry and etiquette will be ruined."

"Of course, for the Dou family, reputation cannot hurt their foundation, but then again, when it comes to weighing the pros and cons, this thousand-year reputation is much more important than a young man who will have no descendants!"

Li Tai nodded thoughtfully: "Ye Zi, what you said makes sense, but you are wrong about one thing. The thirty-year-old of the Dou family is not only childless, but I heard that he died not long after he was carried home."

"……What?"

The smile on Yun Ye’s face froze.

Li Tai turned around and said, "I said, Pei Lao San beat that man to death!"

Yun Ye's eyes widened: "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Lin Zhongtian was surprised and said, "Didn't Pei Lao San say that he hit the guy's vital parts twice with the chain hammer?"

"I know, but I thought..."

Yun Ye's face turned green and red, and finally he sighed and said, "Forget it, whether it means death or the extinction of my descendants, I have already accepted this matter, and I must shoulder it."

After a little thought, he said decisively: "I will go to the palace tonight, and I will ask you to take care of the house."

Lin Zhongtian said: "No problem, but are you sure you don't need me to follow you?"

Li Tai was shocked and asked, "How dare you trespass into the palace?"

Lin Zhongtian ignored him and just looked at Yun Ye.

Yun Ye smiled, lifted up his robe, revealing the black gun handle with a metallic luster at his waist.

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "There is one more thing. The dispute between the Dou family and the Pei family involves not only the rich and powerful, but also Mianchunlou and the singer they are fighting for. Do you want to go and see how the singer is doing?"

Yun Ye suddenly woke up: "Yes, I almost forgot, why didn't you remind me earlier?"

Lin Zhongtian said calmly, "It's the same. If the Dou family and the Pei family wanted to vent their anger on the singer, they would have arrested her on the day of the incident. We got the news a few days late, so we can only confirm it at best."

Yun Ye's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We can discuss entering the palace later. Brother, go check on that singer first!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "Okay."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Tai, who was standing next to them, was surprised and said quickly: "Wait, she's just a singer, you..."

"It's a life!"

Yun Ye turned around abruptly, glared at Li Tai and said, "If you say one more word, I will have Master Li expel you from the academy!"

Li Tai didn't know what Yun Ye was angry about, so he immediately said angrily: "I am the prince, you don't have this power!"

"Yeah?"

Before Yun Ye could speak, Lin Zhongtian glanced at him indifferently.

At just one glance, Li Tai was in a trance, his whole body was shaking, as if he was torn away from the world, everything around him was moving away, only a voice as high as the sky echoed indifferently in his ears.

"Li Tai, you are just a prince..."
