Meng Yifan saw Lin Yan's determination, but it didn't mean that he would agree with Lin Yan's behavior.
Looking at this usually calm young man, Meng Yifan felt that he seemed a little more impatient this time and did not fully realize the horror of Li Huo!
"This matter still needs to be discussed, and I have to inform Mr. Feng in advance!" Meng Yifan said.
Even if he is the deputy dean, he does not have the right to easily dispose of the things left by the dean. This requires integrating the opinions of the academy's senior officials.
Moreover, given the relationship between Lin Yan and Feng Lao as both teacher and friend, it was impossible for Meng Yifan to let Lin Yan take risks without the other party's knowledge.
Lin Yan understood this. If the other party showed off Li Huo as soon as he said it, that would make people suspicious!
Soon, Meng Yifan invited Mr. Feng, as well as Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao, whom he had met during the battle with Wang Xuanli.
In addition, there is a square-faced academician and a skinny academician. The former is Tu Lie, the leader of the "conservatives", and the latter is Qin Zheng, the leader of the "reformationalists".
If we talk about it carefully, there are still some conflicts between Qin Zheng and Lin Yan. The main reason is the trouble caused by his grandnephew, and even Qin Chen is not on good terms with Lin Yan.
However, facing Lin Yan, even Qin Chen, who was dubbed a "genius", could not get much benefit!
Today's Lin Yan is even more powerful than before. He has already surpassed the rest, leaving the best among his peers behind.
As soon as the matter came out of Meng Yifan's mouth, he was met with fierce opposition from Qin Zheng: "This 'Nanming Lihuo' belongs to our academy, how can we give it to outsiders so easily?"
The words of this skinny old academician were quite targeted, and he obviously meant to avenge himself!
I have to say that this old man really holds a grudge. After all this time, he still hasn't forgotten to target Lin Yan.
I just don't know if it's because of the conflict between Lin Yan and Qin Xiong back then, or because he's angry because Lin Yan didn't take him seriously at all.
Meng Yifan frowned when he heard this and said: "Academician Qin, this Lihuo is something left by the dean, not the common property of the academy!"
"Moreover, the dean also left a message back then. Those who are destined to have the heaven and earth can obtain the spiritual things. If someone can subdue this Lihuo, the dean will be happy to see him!"
Qin Zheng let out a dissatisfied "hum" and said: "Even the dean can't subdue Li Huo, let alone others? In my opinion, there is someone with ulterior motives who wants to use this Li Huo to do something detrimental to our academy!"
Meng Yifan said coldly: "Academician Qin, you have gone too far!"
But in the face of Meng Yifan's scolding, Qin Zheng was not afraid and confronted him tit for tat.
In this regard, Meng Yifan had no better way. Although he is the vice president, it is impossible to suppress these academicians with this status!
The vice-president's control over the academy was only nominal. Whether he listened to his orders or not, the initiative was not in Meng Yifan's hands.
Tu Lie, the square-faced academician, said, "Old Qin, could it be that you have some thoughts about Li Huo and that's why you are so resistant?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter. As long as you say it, shouldn't this kind of thing be your first priority?"
"Go and give it a try, maybe you can conquer Li Huo in one fell swoop, and then you will show your face, haha!"
Tu Lie's words were full of ridicule. He and Qin Zheng had never dealt with each other. If the other party proposed an idea, he would sing the opposite tune. Of course, the same thing happens if the two parties change positions!
Qin Zhengdao: "You old man, don't talk nonsense there! This matter is of great importance. Now that the dean is not here, we should be cautious!"
"I only care about the academy and everything I do is upright. How can I be tainted by an old guy like you!"
Tu Lie curled his lips and said, "Ah, yes, yes, you are the most selfless. We are all villains, okay!"
"I know best what I think in my heart, yet you still act so sanctimonious, ah, I'm ashamed to be in your company!"
Qin Zheng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed his finger at Tu Lie's nose and said, "You have slandered my reputation. I must teach you a lesson today!"
Tu Lie was not to be outdone and said: "Come on, who is afraid of whom? No one is allowed to call for help today. Anyone who fails will admit defeat!"
As they were talking, the two of them were about to roll up their arms and sleeves, and there was a fierce collision. I don't know if sparks would fly. I'm afraid they would be so bruised and swollen that they wouldn't be able to run away!
"stop!"
At this moment, a voice came. Although it was not loud, it was extremely intimidating. For a moment, the quarrel between the two stopped.
Feng Lao has a very transcendent status in the academy. He does not seem to hold any real power, but he is highly respected by the academy's senior officials.
These academicians who don't show off Meng Yifan's face very much do not dare to challenge Feng Lao's majesty. His words can silence these people.
Feng Lao said: "When the dean left Li Huo behind, he was unwilling to do so. He thought that maybe some academy students would be able to subjugate him in the future."
"But over the years, Li Huo has become more and more violent. If this matter cannot be properly resolved, it may lead to disaster in the near future!"
"Although the academy has produced many outstanding students over the years, it is still far away from surrendering Li Huo. To do so forcefully will only increase casualties!"
"But what's happening now is also a turning point!"
Qin Zheng said anxiously: "But then Lin Yan..."
Feng Lao said: "He is a student of my academy!"
This final sentence directly blocked Qin Zheng's next words! Originally, he wanted to bring up the old troubles caused by Lin Yan, but he was still born before he could say anything.
In fact, even if he said it, it might not have much effect, and it might even be counterproductive!
First of all, the relationship between Xuantian Sect and the Academy is not harmonious. After the Chang'an Rebellion, the two sides are even more in conflict! Don’t forget, Feng Lao lost one of his arms because of Xuantian Sect!
Secondly, the identity of Lin Yan's successor to the Momen is no longer a problem. After all, the Tang Dynasty has rectified the name of the Momen and recognized its legitimacy. It doesn't make much sense to go over these old accounts now.
Finally, the academy is open to all rivers and is inclusive of all things. If Qin Zheng continues to criticize Lin Yan on this basis, it will only lower the level of the academy!
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Mr. Feng's words. Seeing this, Qin Zheng felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and the little fire that was about to stir in his heart was almost extinguished!
But he was not willing to give in and continued to ask: "Are we just going to let him take away Lihuo in vain?"
Perhaps he didn't even notice it himself, but he already had an idea in his subconscious that Lin Yan had the possibility of taking away Li Huo!
Indeed, such an outstanding student as Lin Yan has not appeared in the academy for many years. Reaching the Xiantian realm in such a short period of time is obviously not his limit. Given time, it may be possible to reach a higher realm!
Lin Yan is still very young and has unlimited potential. This is capital!
Meng Yifan on the side said: "If he can really take away Li Huo, it is his ability! Lin Yan is not the kind of person who refuses to repay his kindness, and he will definitely give the academy corresponding compensation."
"The dean is still here, are you still afraid that he will deceive the academy? Academician Qin, are you trying to judge others by yourself?"
The underlying meaning of this sentence is that Qin Zheng treats a gentleman with a villain's heart, which directly made Qin Zheng's face flush with anger. For a moment, he felt that everyone in the field was targeting him!
In the end, Qin Zheng walked away angrily, and Tu Lie also left after him, but he was in a good mood!
The way Li Huo dealt with it actually didn't matter to him. After all, whether Lin Yan could conquer this thing or not had little to do with him, and it would not affect his own interests.
Moreover, even if Lin Yan is allowed to try, the chance of success is very slim. In this case, why not be generous and be a favor!
What really makes him happy is naturally that Qin Zheng is defeated. What happened today will probably make this old rival half angry to death!
"Oh, you've been smart all your life, but now you can't see the situation clearly!" Tu Lie sighed, with a mocking tone in his voice.
Others only think that he has a fiery personality and a simple mind, but in his heart he is actually like a mirror. Today, Meng Yifan and Mr. Feng made it clear that they wanted to pass this matter. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao came to make things happen. It was ridiculous that Qin Zheng, an old guy, thought he had seized the opportunity and kept targeting Lin Yan. Do you really think that no one else knows about his conflict with Lin Yan?
After that, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao also left one after another, leaving only Feng Lao. Meng Yifan expressed his worries: "Mr. Feng, do you think Lin Yan can succeed?"
Facilitating this matter only gave Lin Yan a chance to choose, not only because of friendship, but more importantly because of Lin Yan's responsibility as a college student. His performance in the Chang'an crisis gave face to the college president, and even the dean. There is also appreciation, which is extremely rare!
But he was also very aware of the risks involved in surrendering Li Huo, so he seemed extremely hesitant! The more he values Lin Yan, the more unwilling he is to let this outstanding student from the academy go on a path of no return!
Feng Lao shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
Meng Yifan was obviously taken aback when he heard this. It was obvious that he did not expect Feng Lao to have such an answer.
Then, Feng Lao continued: "You and I both know very well that Lin Yan is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important. Since he dares to make this decision, he is somewhat sure of it, but I don't know where his confidence comes from?"
"Along the way, he faced countless dangers. He was targeted and hunted by the Xuantian Sect and the Buddha Sect, and he endured the hardship of nine deaths in advancing to the Xiantian realm. This time, we can only hope that he can continue as before. create a miracle!"
Meng Yifan nodded helplessly and said: "That's all we can do!"
He brought good news to Lin Yan and agreed to give Lin Yan a chance to surrender to Li Huo, but only once!
During this period, Feng Lao will accompany him. The main purpose is not to monitor, but to protect Lin Yan in case of danger.
Three days later, everything was ready, and Lin Yan followed Feng Lao into the sealed place of Li Huo...
