"I stayed."
"I'll stay too."
"I'll stay too."
There were tutors and students who stood up and expressed their opinions one after another, until no one spoke. The wind gathering teachers and students have been divided into two parts, and the people who have stood up are a small part of the hundreds of people. For those who stood still, their answer was self-evident. For most people, a conflict with the Xuanjun Empire was really unbearable for them.
"I'm sorry, I can't bring trouble to my family..."
"I'm sorry, I still have a younger brother and younger sister to take care of..."
"sorry……"
Some of those who stood still spoke, and they all gave reasons of one kind or another. Some of them might be true or some might be false, but it wasn't that important anymore. Including those who said nothing, their choice was to leave after all.
Lu Ping and the others felt a little disappointed when they saw those who chose to leave, but they also felt relieved when they saw those who stayed.
After all, it was not their wishful thinking that they ran back to Xiafeng City to rebuild Fengfeng Academy. Finally, there were some people who were willing to stand by the academy through thick and thin.
"Although I have to leave, I still want to help everyone build a good college!" Someone suddenly shouted.
Maybe it was because I felt helpless and reluctant to leave, or maybe I felt guilty and wanted to feel less guilty. This statement received a response from many people. After Lu Ping and the others looked at each other, they happily accepted these people. Everyone has their own situation and ideas, and naturally they have their own choices. There is no need to hold others to the same standards. This is probably what the motto of Zhefeng Academy, "Be strict with oneself and treat others with generosity", wants to tell everyone!
Because of the statements of these people, the atmosphere at the gathering place was finally less tense than before. But after all, the people who were divided into two waves could no longer enjoy themselves as before. Even friends who were acquaintances in the past felt a little awkward with each other after this.
Next, it is inevitable to formally count the personnel and establish a new roster. But in the process, I discovered that several students have not come yet.
"Which of you knows where these guys live?" Fang Yizhu asked, knocking on the roster.
Naturally, many people knew about it, but as soon as the information began to be exchanged, everyone suddenly realized that they had not seen these people for several days.
"Kong Ju... I don't seem to have seen him these days." One person said. Kong Ju, the first wind-picking student Lu Ping and the others met when they returned to Xiafeng City, was among these people.
"I haven't seen Yang Yin for a few days."
"Teacher Zhu, too."
Everyone was chattering. There were five people who didn't come, one tutor and four students. Since the college is still being rebuilt, teachers and students come to help voluntarily, and no one cares whether they come or not every day. So it was only then that I discovered that no one had seen these five people for three days.
"Let's go look for it first!" Su Tang said.
"Let's go." Lu Ping moved as soon as he said it.
"You stay here." Fang Yizhu said.
"ah?"
"Protect everyone." Fang Yizhu said softly.
Lu Ping frowned slightly, he understood what Fang Yizhu meant. If the disappearance of several people was not a coincidence, but was dealt with premeditatedly, then they were probably targeting the Wind Picking Academy. At this time, all teachers and students are in this gathering place, and they naturally need someone to protect them.
"Leave it to me." Lu Ping nodded and said.
"Su Tang, you don't need to go, just Mo Lin and I can go." Fang Yizhu said again.
"You two should also be careful," Su Tang said.
"Don't worry, although we are not as good at fighting as Lu Ping, we have extraordinary wisdom." Fang Yi noted.
"I agree with you for the first time." Molin nodded.
"If anything happens to us two, just come to our rescue just like last time." Fang Yizhu smiled at Lu Ping.
"Of course." Lu Ping said.
Fang Yizhu and Mo Lin set off after asking where the five people lived. The teachers and students who stayed at the Wind Gathering Field were still talking about this. Everyone just knew that Fengfeng Academy might not be peaceful next, but they didn't want something to happen so soon. Although it has not been finally confirmed, almost everyone has started to think in a bad direction. Those who decided not to stay at the academy were somewhat thankful. Those who decide to stay in the college have to worry more, both for themselves and the college.
"Lu Ping...oh no, I should call you dean." Lu Qing walked up to Lu Ping and the others.
"You can call me whatever you want," Lu Ping said.
"Can you tell me in detail how you got the Xuanjun Empire to make concessions?" Lu Qing asked.
"Actually, it was an accident. Wasn't Su Tang captured at that time? In order to save her, I kept looking for Xuanjun City, and then I went in to look for her, killing and killing all the way. Finally, I rescued Su Tang. Emperor Xuan He also came to us and wanted to talk. I invited him to a meal and asked if we could restore the Fengfeng Academy. He said yes, and that was it." Lu Ping said.
"What you said is really..." Lu Qing didn't know what to say. Things that should have been very thrilling were told by Lu Ping in a very ordinary way. "Emperor Xuan also came here" and "Invite him to a meal", this kind of wording is placed here, which just makes people feel indescribably weird.
"Is Teacher Lu worried too?" Lu Ping asked.
"To say there is no such thing is of course false. How can a college survive and develop in such an environment? I think you will have the same worries," Lu Qing said.
"Yes, actually originally we all wanted to leave the Xuanjun Empire and rebuild the academy elsewhere. It was Su Tang who said that the teachers and students of Zhaifeng Academy are still in Xiafeng City and are in a very bad situation. We should come back." Lu Ping said.
"Are you a little disappointed now?" Lu Qing looked at Su Tang.
"It's okay." Su Tang smiled.
"What a good boy." Lu Qing was very impressed, looking at the two of them with somewhat cloudy eyes, but full of expectation, "Dean Guo will be very happy to bring you two back to the academy."
"I hope I won't let him down." Lu Ping said.
"Protect this academy well," Lu Qing said.
"I will." Lu Ping nodded firmly again.
Lu Qing also nodded, and without saying anything else, he slowly took a step forward. Because he was the first to stand up and say those words, Lu Qing, who had always been doing nothing, now became different in the eyes of everyone. But he didn't care about this at all, he was still the same as he always was.
…
…
After leaving the wind gathering field, Fang Yizhu and Mo Lin went straight to Kong Ju's residence, which was the closest, but they no longer had high expectations. As expected, there was no one at Kong Ju's residence. After the two entered the house, they checked the dust accumulation in the house and roughly judged that they had been away for three days.
"There were no signs of a struggle," Maureen said.
"You're just sensing the environment, what kind of fight do you want?" Fang Yizhu took one last look around the room and shook his head.
"Then let's go to this house and have a look." Mo Lin pointed to Zhu Cheng's name on the finger strip that recorded the address. Zhu Cheng is a mentor. Although he only has a single soul, he happens to be a soul of strength, which is not so easy to deal with.
"If someone from certain quarters really did it, what does it mean to have the power to penetrate it?" Fang Yizhu said again.
"In some respects? There are no outsiders here. Just tell the Xuanjun Empire." Mo Lin curled his lips in disdain.
"But I don't understand. Even the Protectorate was killed like a bear by Lu Ping. Is this Xiafeng District... planning to delete itself from the map?" Fang Yizhu said.
"The problem is they don't know it," Morin said.
"Sad, isn't the Xuanjun Empire pushing its own people into a pit of fire? My deepest sympathy." Fang Yizhu said.
"Are you so sure that someone from the City Lord's Mansion did it?" Mo Lin said.
"Whatever, let Lu Ping go to the city lord's palace and ask questions later." Fang Yizhu said.
"This is his way of doing things." Mo Lin nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go home first." Fang Yizhu and Mo Lin walked out. At this point, neither of them seemed panicked or anxious. The second family went to Teacher Zhu Cheng's residence, but just like Kong Ju's place, they could tell that he had not been there for three days, but other than that there were no other traces.
"Are these five people living alone?" Fang Yizhu suddenly asked.
"You ask me?" Molin asked.
The two of them stepped out of the circle this time and began to visit the neighborhood. Unfortunately, no one provided any useful information. The third, fourth, and fifth people who followed also disappeared three days ago, leaving no trace in the room.
