This is the end of Chu Min's story, a story of friendship and betrayal that is not very new and may be played out every day. People who have heard too many storytellers have become numb to such stories.
Only when something like this really happens to them can everyone truly empathize with it.
Pain, despair, regret, hatred... almost all the negative emotions a person can have can explode in this incident.
Chu Min sank because of this, but twenty years later she stood up again. She wiped away her tears with a wave of her hand, without needing comfort or help from others.
"So now you know who the opponent is in this matter, right?" Long Wei said.
Then he saw the subtle expressions that had just appeared on the faces of Mo Lin and Fang Yizhu.
Chu Min couldn't help but laugh. Long Kuo didn't understand this expression. She already knew what Lu Ping had done, so how could she not understand?
The whole world regards the National Protectorate, Juefengtang, and the Central Academy as the top forces that cannot be provoked, but the National Protectorate was swept aside by Lu Ping. This attitude does not matter to Lu Ping. So is it really necessary for me to insist on doing it myself?
A person as free and easy as Chu Min really wouldn't hesitate on an issue for too long. She made a decision after a while.
"I once thought I was a thigh, but later I found out I was wrong. Twenty years later, I almost made the same mistake again." Chu Min said, looking at Lu Ping.
"This time, I'll just hold my thigh back," she said.
"A wise move." Fang Yizhu commented.
"Teacher Chu Min is still sensible!" Mo Lin flattered and breathed a sigh of relief. He really respects and cares about Chu Min. His path as a cultivator of "If you say I can't do it, I will do it anyway", it was only after meeting Chu Min that he truly gained confidence. Love, just like the hatred in Chu Min's heart, can only be unforgettable if it is experienced personally. .
"I think this is the end of my meal with you." Long Wei looked a little panicked.
Although Lei Baichuan's position in Zhongzhuyuan is not yet that of dean, he is almost a big figure who can represent the entire Zhongzhuyuan. But these teenagers didn't even ask about such an important background. There was only one thing they cared about from beginning to end: whether Chu Min should hand over the matter to Lu Ping. The subtle expressions they showed twice when they heard about their opponent's background in the Central Academy should be...relaxed and disapproving, right?
This doesn’t even take the entire Central Academy of Sciences seriously! It seems not difficult to understand that such a person makes the always staunch Xuanjun Empire compromise. Such a group of people finally end up in the peak area of the side of the mountain. It is not a tiger falling in Pingyang. It is a tiger lying on a barren hill, surrounded by hungry wolves. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, no matter whether the time is ripe or not, and whether the conditions allow it, He should give up the position of Lord of Zhiling City. This meal should end early. I already know enough information. If I add more information, it will be difficult to hide my intention of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
"If you are not full, please eat more. I have something to do in my house, so I will go back first." Long Kuan stood up and said.
"Scared away?" Chu Min looked at him with a half-smile.
"I was scared away." Long Kuo nodded without any shame, bowed his hands to the people at the table, and then said goodbye and left.
Maureen walked out with his front legs, and then his hind legs rushed to the window alertly, looking out.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Chu Min said.
"Teacher, are you so sure?" Mo Lin was slightly confused.
"Although I dislike him a little, after all, we have been friends for many years. He has no intention of conflict with us. He just wants to clarify what actions are more suitable for him after our conflict with the Xuanjun Empire." Chu Min said.
"Did he find the answer?" Maureen said.
"Found it, hide." Chu Min said.
"So you ran away so quickly?" Mo Lin said blankly, and then he saw Long Kui's back hurriedly leaving the restaurant on the street outside the window.
"What a wise move." Fang Yizhu, who also saw his back, sighed with emotion.
"Yeah." Even Lu Ping nodded in approval. He couldn't help but think of the former Xiafeng City Lord, whose way of doing things was very different from that of Zhiling City Lord. Comparing the two, he certainly liked Long Kui's style. But upon further reflection, Long Wei realized that he was not strong enough. If he felt that he was capable enough to deal with them, his style might not be much different from that of the former Xiafeng City Lord Wei Zhong.
"Are you all full?" Chu Min asked at this time.
"I'm full, I'm full." Everyone nodded.
"There's no need to go back, just find a place to stay in the city for the night and go back to Xiafeng City tomorrow." Chu Min said.
"Is Teacher Chu Min coming too?" Su Tang asked.
"Let's go together first." Chu Min nodded.
"Great." Everyone was happy.
So after the group left the restaurant, they randomly found an inn in Zhiling City to stay for the night, and set out early the next morning. Even Morin, after using his "Follow the Wind" ability, will no longer have the disadvantage of lacking strength in movement. The group of people walked very quickly and arrived at Xiafeng City in only half a day.
The appearance of the north exit has not changed much, except that there are far fewer wanted notices posted at the door. Lu Ping and his group came to the door. The large array of magic weapons in their hands naturally attracted everyone's attention. The gate officer at the north exit waved his hand and was about to gather people. Suddenly he saw Lu Ping's face in the group, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Stop!" he shouted loudly.
The people who were coming in and out, as well as the guards who were about to gather after his order, all froze and looked at him stupidly.
"It's okay, it's okay." He said, waving his hands, his face a little pale.
Others didn't know why, but the guards who gathered at his order understood and silently retreated.
The gate officer turned around and put his hands behind his back. He noticed that Lu Ping's group was also looking at him. He felt a little panicked. He wanted to pretend that he didn't see anything, but he just hoped it wasn't too late now.
There was no movement behind him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard a guard asking, with a stern tone: "What are these in your hands?"
"Magic weapon." The other person replied.
none of my business! The gate officer hurriedly left.
"So many magic soldiers? Who are you?" The guard's tone became more severe.
"Lu Ping." The other person said.
"Please come inside," the guard said.
I go! The door officer turned around sharply. He wanted to see which of his subordinates was so smart and he should really promote him in the future.
Lu Ping and his party had already entered the city at this time. Seeing the clever change in the guard's attitude, Mo Lin sighed with emotion: "Can we consider this a homecoming in glory?"
Everyone smiled. None of them really wanted to say that their hometown was Xiafeng City. Fang Yizhu and Sister Jin were here for the first time, but everyone understood the meaning of Mo Lin's words.
"There is no Academy Supervisory Committee in Xiafeng City. If we want to rebuild the academy, who should we look for?" Su Tang said.
"The City Lord's Mansion." Chu Min said, no matter how she served as the chief academician of Amaterasu Academy, she still knew about the affairs of the academy in the Xuanjun Empire.
"Then go to the City Lord's Mansion." Mo Lin was high-spirited and strode like lightning.
"Who is the city lord now?" Lu Ping said casually.
"That's easy to say." Mo Lin said and grabbed a random person: "Uncle, who is the current lord of Xiafeng City?"
The uncle was also very discerning. One look at the large list of things this group of people were carrying, and he knew that he was not someone he could mess with. He quickly said: "After the death of City Lord Wei Zhong, his only son took over as City Lord."
"What happens next?" Maureen asked.
"And then?" The uncle looked confused.
"Isn't Wei Tianqi dead too?" Mo Lin said.
"Nonsense, where did this rumor come from?" The uncle was frightened. For him, the city lord must not be offended. The man in front of him was cursing Wei Tianqi, so he should stay away no matter what. While scolding him, he hurriedly walked away.
"What's going on?" Mo Lin looked at Lu Ping. Wei Tianqi was dead, and they all just listened to what Lu Ping said.
"You'll find out when you go to the City Lord's Mansion." Lu Ping said calmly. Su Tangdu has been rescued safe and sound. Whether Wei Tianqi is alive or dead is not a question that he cares about at all. Although I really couldn't sense Wei Tianqi's soul power at the beginning, it would be a bit strange if he was still alive at this time. But so what? Of course there won't be any curiosity about things that don't concern you.
The group of people stopped thinking and headed towards the Xiafeng City Lord's Mansion.
