"If you are interested, after the grand event, I will find another time to inform you."
Chen Yi had no objections; he had already learned the secret duel between the Human Race and the Demon Court on the Tianyuan Continent.
According to the previous sayings of "Xun Wang Tian" and others, that duel seemed related to the ownership of a territory on Taizhou Mountain.
Though he was unclear about more details, just the word "territory" made him speculate on the connection.
There was no need to ask further.
"Come, come, everyone has dispersed, let’s go back and continue drinking!"
As he spoke, Chen Yi didn’t wait for Lu Fang to respond, but shoulder to shoulder with him, called out to Li Fei, Wang Dashan, and others.
"You truly are addicted to alcohol."
Lu Fang smiled, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "In a few days, I’ll bring you some top-quality wine."
"Great," Chen Yi looked delighted: "I thank you in advance, brother Dao."
Li Fei heard this and laughed, saying: "I also have a few jars of fine wine, later let’s open them together and drink."
"Good, very good..."
Wang Dashan and Fang Xiaochuan, both from Jizhou Prefecture and good drinkers, naturally wouldn’t refuse.
"Today let’s drink to our heart’s content..."
...
The Great Master returned to the academy and stood in the deep part of that academic building, looking toward the Imperial City.
At this moment, his face was expressionless, as always showing the calmness of a saint, with a hint of red gold in his eyes, vaguely seeing the Night Watch Department and Wang Yang’s group.
At this time, the Third Master Yang Huan came to his side, half a step behind him, and pondered:
"Mr. Lin, within the academy’s traditions, there are University Scholars with peculiar temperaments, but often due to scholarly disputes."
"While Wang Yang’s resentment due to suppression by the Heroic Marquis is understandable, his character changed dramatically..."
"Could it be he was stimulated by something else?"
The Great Master shook his head slightly, speaking calmly: "I brought him to the statue of the Saint for inspection, and there are no traces of Divine Power Secret Techniques on him."
The Third Master frowned deeply, stating: "Then he deserves to die!"
The Great Master merely commented: "Yang’er indeed has a path to death, but don’t you think everything happened too quickly and too coincidentally?"
The Third Master paused, thought for a moment and said: "Are you suggesting someone used Wang Yang’s licentiousness at the Book Storage Tower for other plots?"
"Perhaps." The Great Master looked up at the sky, recalling for a moment, he said:
"Last night, I was discussing Chen Yi’s matter with Li Qingzhou when I noticed Yang’er was at the Book Storage Tower; I immediately returned."
"I then sent back the three female scholars and erased this matter from their memories."
"Logically..."
The Third Master understood and frowned: "Logically, this matter shouldn’t spread so quickly, nor should anyone report it to the court."
"Mr. Lin, do you know who wants to target the academy?"
The Great Master shook his head, sighing: "I cannot discern the identity of the opponent, but there is a sense of familiarity."
"A sense of familiarity..." The Third Master widened his eyes suddenly: "Are you saying it’s them?"
"It should be their doing, just as Buddhism spread eastward two hundred years ago, just as King of the Southern Garrison rose and fell, or the battle at Beixiong Pass thirty years ago."
Saying this, the Great Master paused, his eyes looking towards another glittering mountain.
"Those people, besides acting secretly, inevitably embed deep meaning in every step, making it impossible to see their next move or true intentions."
"But I believe they reappear this time connected to two matters."
The Third Master’s eyes flickered slightly, he asked: "Mr. Lin, may I ask, which two matters?"
"One is the court’s civil servant versus Marquis, or rather Confucians against sects of Holy Land."
"The second is Buddhism... Have you not noticed lately, within the Kyoto Prefecture, there are more monks and nuns than other martial world guests."
"Almost all famous temples and nunneries across the Wei Dynasty have sent people here, even some monastery from the West Continent Buddha Country have monks arriving."
The Great Master paused, looking at Dakong Temple with a slightly shimmering eye, saying:
"Since those people introduced Buddhism over two hundred years ago, and later spread Buddhism through generations of Buddha’s Children, they must have a profound purpose!"
The Third Master glanced at Dakong Temple, thought for a moment, and murmured to himself: freeweɓnovel.cøm
"But now, we cannot even examine Dakong Temple clearly, even guess may be futile."
"Then there’s Wang Yang’s case, I cannot deduce what those people aim to achieve by pushing him into Heavenly Prison?"
"Suppress my Kyoto Academy? You should know, that’s impossible! The academy has been passed down for a millennia, it won’t fall because of a single Wang Yang!"
"Or, they intend to tarnish your and the academy’s reputation? If so, I’m afraid..."
At this point, the Third Master hesitated, a few traces of concern showed in his eyes.
The Great Master understood Yang Huan’s implied meaning; if those people’s target is him, using Wang Yang to lower his prestige is just the first step, there should be follow-ups.
"I’ve stayed in the Kyoto Prefecture for two hundred years without leaving, just waiting for this day to arrive!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Master’s eyes flickered a few times, he cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Lin, it’s best to be cautious."
The Great Master turned to him, smiling and nodded: "Tell the students that the academy will be closed for five days, allowing them to focus on their studies."
Saying this, he stepped out, heading towards Fengtong Street.
"I’m going to find Li Qingzhou for a cup of wine, the academy will be entrusted to you for the next few days."
The Third Master bowed in salute, raising his head to watch his figure, a subtle smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
