Chapter 792 They're all Emperor Ying's aliases, aren't you scared? [1st update]
If Ying Zijing has an accident, she will be unable to play in the game.
Moreover, the Sage's Academy is biased towards her and will definitely not postpone the election for the head of the family.
With that, plus the votes from the sages, she's the only one who can win.
Hilo had lived in the Sage's House since childhood and originally had no feelings for the Leinger family.
Even if Ying Zijing were just Lu Yuan and Su Wen's daughter, she would still be willing to harm her own brother Lu Yuan if he were to interfere with her interests.
Of the three sages, although Hilo usually has the most contact with Sara, she is actually closer to the Sage Tower.
The Sage's Tower has a group of guards whose strength far surpasses that of the four major knightly orders.
She has one emergency call right.
It was originally intended to be used to suppress the entire Lyinger family after he ascended to the position of patriarch.
Now Ying Zijing has forced her to take action ahead of schedule.
Hilo's expression grew even more somber.
“Yes, Miss Hilo.” The head guard replied on the other end of the phone, “As you command.”
After the call ended, the guard immediately reported the matter to the Sage's Tower.
After listening, Ta chuckled and said, "My student didn't learn anything else, but he did learn a bit of ruthlessness and indifference to family. Not bad, not bad, worthy of praise."
The guard asked respectfully, "Lord Tower, so what do we do?"
"Go ahead and do what she wants. Let her have some fun." Ta smiled slightly. "In time, she'll realize that in the City of the World, even the Academy of Sages is just a decoration."
The patriarch of the Lengel family?
Those who could be crushed with a flick of his wrist are not even worth his attention.

Inside the Sage's Courtyard.
Sara started watching the replay of today's election proceedings.
This perfect-quality Grade A Philosopher's Stone made her originally intend to eliminate Ying Zijing herself.
The reason is that things like extending human lifespan are not something that anyone other than sages and alchemists designated by sages can access.
However, Ying Zijing easily crafted a Philosopher's Stone that was even more perfect than the alchemists at the Institute of Biological Genetics.
This is something that Sara cannot tolerate.
But the words "Norton University" forced her to suppress the idea.
At a time like this, she couldn't afford to have any conflict with Norton.
If a second Holy War breaks out in the future, the Sage's Chariot will be their greatest fighting force against the Sage Demon.
"Snap—"
A crisp sound rang out; it was the sound of a camera.
Sara looked up abruptly and saw a man at the entrance of the hall, holding the latest W-brand camera and pointing it directly at her face.
All her expressions were captured clearly in the photograph.
Sara's expression changed: "Norton, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing," Norton said lazily, continuing to take pictures. "I think your expression at this moment is quite interesting; it would be a shame not to take a picture and save it."
Sara's voice turned cold: "Norton!"
Norton remained indifferent: "I'm not deaf. What do you want?"
"Do you know her?" Sara held up the photo in her hand, her gaze sharp. "She's a student at that university outside the city."
“Really? If you hadn’t brought it up, I really wouldn’t have had time to care about this.” Norton turned his head and smiled. “But since you brought it up, I’ll definitely vote for her in the final vote. I never expected my school to produce such a genius.”
"I'm too lazy to manage the school. If I vote for her, do you think she'll help me manage the school in the future?"
Sara almost couldn't catch her breath.
Her fingers clenched again, and she said coldly, "You want to manage the school? I can send someone to manage it for you. Just because of that, you want to vote?"
“That won’t do,” Norton said calmly. “That’s it. Remember, don’t bother me.”
He turned and left, leaving only his back to Sara.
Sara took a deep breath, pressed her temples, and tried to calm her anger.
There's only one tank, so there's no need to worry too much.
A few minutes later, the steward bowed outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the results of the Court of Judgment's tests are in."
Shaluo immediately said, "Bring it here."
She took the test results from the supervisor, her brow furrowed deeply: "Is it confirmed to be S-23 poison?"
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The steward wiped his sweat. “The Inquisition compared all types of poisons and finally confirmed it to be S-23.”
"I understand." Sara waved her hand. "You may leave."
The steward hurriedly took his leave.
Sara gripped the scepter and got up to go to the magician's room.
The magician was in his laboratory concocting a new drug when a document was thrown at him.
The potion bottles spilled out, and the magician, furious, yelled, "Sara, what are you doing?"
"Why are you asking me?" Sara looked at her coldly. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were going to poison the prisoner?"
"Poisoning a prisoner? That's impossible!" the magician exclaimed in surprise. "I've been here making potions for the past few days."
I was also pondering this in my heart.
A few days ago, the Sage Star Yao Guang came to see him and took away several new medicines.
Could it be that there's some new move in the works?
“Look closely, it’s S-23 poison.” Sara pointed to the document. “This is the poison you invented. Who else but you could make it?”
The magician took it and exclaimed, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! When was S-23 poison? It was over twenty years ago, it was long ago obsolete."
"Besides, apart from being highly toxic and capable of tormenting people, the S-23 is not at all stealthy, so why would I use it?"
"It really wasn't you?" Sara frowned. "Then who was it?"
The magician, though facing a difficult situation, made a decisive decision: "I'll go to the courtroom myself!"
**
Courtroom.
Madam Yu woke up several times during the ordeal, but quickly fainted again from the pain.
Without an order from the Academy of Sages, the judges could not take action.
The magician quickly approached Madam Yu and began the examination.
Then he took out the antidote for S-23 and fed it to Madam Yu.
But when the antidote was given to her, although Old Madam Yu woke up instantly, she let out a heart-wrenching scream and rolled on the ground in pain.
The magician's expression changed: "That's impossible!"
This is indeed S-23 poison, so why didn't the antidote work?
He couldn't even cure the poison he made himself?
Suddenly, a thought popped into his head, and the magician couldn't help but shiver.
Sara was getting impatient: "What exactly happened?"
“Shaluo, listen to me.” The magician swallowed hard. “On the NOK forum that Xiu established, there is a ranking of poison masters. I went to O Continent a few centuries ago, so I am ranked second.”
Sara laughed: "Are you kidding me?"
A magician whose special ability is alchemy, and ranked second on the list of poison masters?
"Yes, I'm only ranked second." The magician wiped the sweat from his brow. "The number one poisoner—I've faced him once. His methods of concocting poisons are completely unheard of."
"I suspect that, like the diviner, it comes from another universe."
The First Poison Master is very mysterious; no one knows his true identity.
To this end, he even had Yao Guang infiltrate the ancient medical community and find someone to impersonate the number one poison master in order to lure him out.
But so far there has been no substantial news.
"You mean, it's highly likely that this top poison master did it?" Sara frowned again. "Why?"
“Shara, the poisoners are all eccentric, even more difficult to deal with than the Chariot,” the magician said. “They never need any reason to do things.”
Sara pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Then let's find a way to locate them, and it would be best to invite them into the Sage's Academy."
The magician gave a wry smile: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to find."
"Then you've saved her life." Shaluo glanced casually at Old Madam Yu, "and see if you can find anything out."
The magician nodded.
He was also eager to see the true face of this First Poison Master.
**
Two days later, in the evening.
The Lengel family hosted another family dinner.
The butler also secretly handed the completed sign to Fu Yunshen.
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyelashes and slowly closed them.
He couldn't lift her on stage, so he lifted her up in the bedroom.
Suwen sat down at the head of the table and greeted everyone with a smile: "Yaoyao's friends are all family. Please don't be shy and tell us what you want to eat."
The butler nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with smiles.
The young lady's friend must be the best!
Qin Lingyan raised her hand: "Do you have instant noodles?"
"Yes, but instant noodles?" Suwen hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, "Butler, have the kitchen make a few more bowls of instant noodles and send them over."
Qin Lingyu pressed her head.
She simply didn't want to acknowledge that this was her brother.
Suddenly, her ears twitched as she caught some sounds.
It was making a constant buzzing sound.
The sound gradually grew louder, and even Suwen heard it.
She put down her chopsticks and was about to stand up: "Has something happened outside? I'll go check it out."
A hand pressed down on her shoulder.
