After Professor Cui finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and saw Lu Jing looking like he was about to make a move. He couldn't help but feel a little headache, "Is there any problem?"
"Can I not go?" Lu Jing asked.
Professor Cui frowned, "You are not supervisors yet. In theory, you are not assigned by Si Tianjian. The academy will not force you to do things, so of course you can refuse...
"But as I said before, these are troubled times. Mr. Guo is not in the capital, and Si Tianjian is short of manpower. If everyone only cares about themselves, then even if they pass the assessment for the purpose of supervision, it will be just a mess. By the way, why do you Don’t want to go?”
Lu Jing patiently listened to Professor Cui's chatter, and then replied, "Because I have some differences with that person."
"Who is that person?" Professor Cui still couldn't react for a while.
"That's the official on the throne." The speaker was Yan Yun. "Professor Cui probably hasn't left the academy in recent times."
"Well, I have been concentrating on studying a strange object for the past half month. What, has something big happened in the world?"
"A lot of things have happened in the martial arts world recently, such as the birthday of Master Lu of Xiaoyao Villa, the struggle for the next leader of Blood Knife Hall, etc., but the biggest thing is that twelve days ago, Tian The death of Longmen Sect Master Li Feilong." Another academy disciple also answered.
"Li Feilong is dead? I remember that he was good at martial arts. He should be a first-class master. And does his death have anything to do with what I asked you to do?" Professor Cui was confused.
"It really does matter."
As the disciple spoke, he secretly glanced in Lu Jing's direction.
"Did you kill him?" Professor Cui also turned to look at Lu Jing.
"No." Lu Jing flatly denied, "Li Feilong died at the hands of Jing Ziwei, and then the gang members of Tianlong Sect killed several eunuchs who took action to avenge their sect leader. "
Professor Cui still didn't understand what this had to do with Lu Jing not going to the palace. Fortunately, Lu Jing didn't play riddles with him anymore. He then added, "That day, the Jing Zi Guards came with a group of martial arts people to besiege me. , while Li Feilong was lying in wait and attacked me unprepared."
Professor Cui took a breath when he heard the words. Although Lu Jing's description was very simple, even if there were only a few words, as a listener, he could feel how critical the situation was at that time. Facing a strong enemy and being attacked by others sneak attack.
Professor Cui had also heard about some of the evil deeds of Li Feilong and Tianlongmen in his early years, but as a first-class master and a senior in the martial arts world, he could actually lower his dignity and sneak attack a young man. This kind of thing was too new.
Fortunately, since Lu Jing is still here, it means that Li Feilong's sneak attack did not succeed. Professor Cui asked, "How did you save the day?"
"Ah, just defeated them all." Lu Jing said truthfully.
"them?"
"Li Feilong, Jing Ziwei and the group of martial arts masters that Jing Ziwei hired."
"you alone?"
"Myself."
Seeing that Professor Cui didn't seem to believe it, other disciples on the side also spoke out to confirm.
Although Tianlongmen had driven out people before the attack that day, there were still many houses and tiles around the street at that time. No matter how overbearing Tianlongmen was, they could not force everyone out one room at a time. In addition, what happened next The battle took place on the river, and was seen by many people.
It is precisely because of this that this matter will spread more and more widely.
Lu Jing fought against a large number of people on the river alone, beating the eunuchs of the Jingzi Guards to the point where their teeth were all over the ground. Then Li Feilong jumped out of the water and attacked him, but Lu Jing had no reaction even after he was hit by a punch. Instead, he knocked Li Feilong to the ground. Captured in his hands, this scene was so shocking that it soon spread in the streets.
Many people are now speculating where Lu Jing will be ranked when the Tianji ranking changes next time.
Professor Cui listened for a while and finally figured out why Lu Jing didn't want to participate in this matter. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he had taught Lu Jing to be responsible before. Unexpectedly, Lu Jing asked him if he could withdraw, in order not to give others any trouble. People add to the obstruction.
So Professor Cui coughed twice and said, "If you are really inconvenienced, I can find someone else to replace you, or it doesn't really matter if there is one less person."
"Thank you, teacher." Lu Jing said as he packed his things and prepared to leave.
When he was almost at the door, he heard Professor Cui ask other people, "Does anyone else want to quit?"
After waiting for a while, no one responded, so Professor Cui nodded and said, "Okay, let's get ready. We will leave at dusk and go to the palace to attend a banquet first. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, the officials also donated money. I asked for some money for incense, but the academy doesn’t want it. You can divide it among yourselves. Each person can probably get three thousand taels.
"In addition, if the ritual is done well and the evil spirits are driven away from the palace, it is said that there will be heavy rewards from the officials."
After Professor Cui finished speaking, he saw Lu Jing, who had already stepped out the door, turned back, "I have changed my mind, Professor Cui, I am not quitting."
Professor Cui was stunned, "But didn't you have a conflict with someone from Jingziwei before?"
"It's okay, I have a human skin mask, so I don't need to identify myself." Lu Jing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, no one will find out."
Professor Cui was a little speechless, but since Lu Jing had found a way to deal with it, he didn't say anything and nodded, "It's okay to go, but you have to promise me something."
"What's up?"
"Since you have embarked on the path of cultivation and completed the hundred-day foundation building, according to the rules of the academy, you need to test the results of your foundation building. You have been delaying this for a long time, and Professor Zheng has also urged you many times. But you always use various reasons to shirk it. It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. It's better to resolve this matter before leaving this time. "
Lu Jing was silent, he actually knew that procrastinating was not the answer, but escaping was shameful but useful.
He still remembered the unbearable scene when he privately tested the talisman Xia Huai gave him. To be honest, Lu Jing really didn't want to experience this nightmare scene again.
But this time, for the sake of money, there was no way to hide.
Lu Jing sighed, "Test, can't I test it?"
Professor Cui was quite pleased to hear this, and seemed to be worried that Lu Jing would run away again, so he actually took one of his arms and said, "Come on, then you come with me to see Professor Zheng.
"Shall we go to Uncle Chen and collect the money first?"
Professor Cui said, "You won't be short of money if you put it there. It's business to test your foundation building results first. I also want to see the secret cauldron built by the most talented disciple in the history of the academy." What is it like."
"Then you might not be able to sleep tonight."
