"Let's talk, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" An elder of the Mai Family opened his mouth. He was one of the two remaining Space Dance experts of the Mai Family.
Beside the two elders sat a man in his forties. He was wearing a gorgeous robe and looked very imposing. But at this moment, he was just sitting there like a fool. His eyes had completely lost focus.
This person was naturally the Mai Family's Patriarch, Mai Kellen. He was the one who proposed the Mai Family's actions. But now, the Mai Family had lost five Space Dance experts. This was a loss that the Mai Family couldn't bear. When Mai Kellen heard the news, he was dumbfounded. He didn't think that something like this would happen.
The members of the Mai Family looked at the two elders and then at the dumbfounded McKellen, but no one said anything. In fact, they really didn't know what to say because this was a fatal blow to the Mai Family.
At this time, a voice was suddenly heard, "This one is Guan Hong. I'm here to seek an audience with the Mai Family's Patriarch!" This voice didn't belong to the Mai Family. Instead, it came directly from outside the Mai Family.
Upon hearing this voice, the Mai Family's people stared. Then their expressions changed. The two elders of the Mai Family also changed. The two stood up at the same time. One of the elders said, "Mister Guan Hong, please come in. This one is Mai Shuang."
Guan Hong's voice was heard, "So it's Iron Brush Frost, Flower Mai Shuang. This Guan Hong has long heard of your name." The voice was getting closer and closer. By the time this sentence was finished, Guan Hong was already standing in front of the Mai Family's meeting hall.
Guan Hong looked at Mai Shuang and smiled faintly. Then he gave a salute and said, "Guan Hong has seen Mister Mai Shuang. I apologize for my sudden visit."
When Mai Shuang saw Guan Hong arrive so quickly, he knew that it was impossible for him to walk in. This was because it would take at least twenty minutes to walk from the meeting hall to the Mai Family's entrance. It was impossible for him to arrive so quickly.
However, Mai Shuang still returned the courtesy and said, "Greetings, Mr. Guan. Our Mai family is unable to invite such a busy person like Mr. Guan. Please come in, Mr. Guan."
Guan Hong smiled and said, "Mr. Mai Shuang, you don't have to be so polite. Today, I'm here on the orders of the dean. The dean asked me to pass a message to the Mai Family. The Mai Family's behavior has exceeded the bottom line of the Shuwen Academy. The dean orders the Mai Family to get out of the Shuwen Academy's territory within seven days. If they don't get out, their entire family will be annihilated!"
Upon hearing Guan Hong's words, the Mai Family members were stunned. Then they looked at Guan Hong in disbelief. They couldn't believe that such words came out of Guan Hong's mouth.
It took Mai Shuang a while to recover from his shock. He looked at Guan Hong with an ashen face and said, "Guan Hong, what do you mean by that?"
Guan Hong looked at Mai Shuang and smiled faintly, "Do you still not understand what I mean? Remember, you only have seven days. Moreover, you must leave the Shuwen Academy's territory during these seven days. Remember, this is the Shuwen Academy's territory, not Tideview City. If you still appear in the Shuwen Academy's territory after seven days, then your entire family will be annihilated! "
"You dare!" Mai Shuang's face was ashen.
Guan Hong's expression also calmed down. He looked at Mai Shuang and said, "Mai Shuang, the dean actually has something else to say. However, he didn't tell me to tell you this. Since you've been living in Tideview City for so long, I'll tell you this today. The dean said that your Mai Family thinks too highly of yourselves. That's all I have to say. Seven days, remember." Then Guan Hong's figure moved and disappeared from the Mai Family's meeting hall.
The members of the Mai Family stared blankly at the place where Guan Hong disappeared. They couldn't believe what they just heard, but they knew that it was all true. Everything that happened just now was real.
Mai Shuang gasped for breath. In the end, he slumped back into his chair. He looked at the other members of the Mai Family and said, "Pass down my order. Immediately pack your things. All of the Mai Family's stores must be vacated within three days. At the same time, prepare a ship. We must leave the harbor in five days."
The other members of the Mai Family stared blankly. Then they immediately understood what Mai Shuang meant. Mai Shuang really wanted to leave Tideview City. Moreover, he wanted to leave by sea. They really wanted to give up everything in Tideview City.
A steward of the Mai Family loudly said, "Elder, how can we do that? If we deal with all of our businesses in three days, then we'll be giving others a chance to lower the price. Then we'll lose everything! "
"Nonsense! At this time, we don't have time to deal with so many things. Go and deal with it. Everyone must pack their things. We must board the ship in five days. Go! "Mai Shuang shouted.
The other members of the Mai Family didn't know what to do after hearing Mai Shuang. In the end, they could only carry out Mai Shuang's order unwillingly.
In the next few days, the news of the Mai Family's five Sky Dance Experts dying in the forest and the Mai Family being driven out by the Book Courtyard spread throughout the continent. However, this matter was surprisingly quiet. It didn't cause any reaction. It was as if people weren't at ease with this matter.
In fact, there weren't many people who cared about this matter. The Mai Family's status was known to the entire continent. This was because the Mai Family had been too arrogant in the past few years. As long as one was observant, they would know the Mai Family's identity.
It was precisely because the Mai Family was too arrogant that they even dared to disobey the Book Courtyard's orders. Therefore, the Book Courtyard didn't stand up for the Mai Family this time. The Mai Family had lost their value after being driven out of Tideview City. Naturally, the Book Courtyard wouldn't stand up for the Mai Family.
Five days later, everyone from the Mai Family boarded a ship and left Tideview City. In the end, the Mai Family still entered the Book Courtyard's territory. The Book Courtyard didn't make things difficult for the Mai Family, but they also didn't give them any special treatment. The Mai Family became an ordinary family in the Book Courtyard's territory.
After losing the support of the Chess Hall, the Mai Family slowly declined. In the end, they were reduced to a middle-class family. There was no way for them to make a comeback. Of course, this was a story for the future.
Nobody said that the Book and Literature Institute was profiteering by driving the Mai Family away this time, because it was unnecessary. Even in the heyday of the Mai Family, it was very easy for the Book and Literature Institute to drive the Mai Family away. Nobody dared to say anything. Therefore, nobody said anything about what the Book and Literature Institute did this time.
However, Zhao Hai was still unaware of this matter. He was still leisurely walking through the forest. For him, collecting plants and increasing his practical strength was much more important than these matters.
After being in the forest for a few days, Zhao Hai discovered something special. The plants of the Wenji Continent were very different from the plants of the Soldier Spirit Continent. There were a lot of plants in the Wenji Continent, and the power contained within them was completely different from the plants of the Soldier Spirit Continent. Zhao Hai even discovered several plants that contained Wen Force. This made Zhao Hai very surprised.
Plants naturally contained Wen Force, this was very strange. After Zhao Hai received the plants that contained Wen Force into the Space, he discovered that even when he wasn't writing, drawing, or doing other things related to scholars, the Wen Force of the Golden Book and Golden Pen were slowly increasing. This made Zhao Hai surprised.
Then Zhao Hai carefully observed the plants. He wanted to know why these plants were different from other plants. After careful observation, Zhao Hai discovered that these plants were indeed similar to other plants. Some of these plants were very suitable for making paper, some were very suitable for making pens, and some were very suitable for making ink. In any case, these plants were very suitable for making things similar to scholars. And these plants contained very weak Wen Force.
Looking at these plants, Zhao Hai felt that there must be something in the Wen Ji Continent that caused the energy here to mutate. Otherwise, why would only the scholars of the Wen Ji Continent be able to cultivate while the scholars of the other continents couldn't? Why would only the plants in the Wen Ji Continent have Wen Force while the other continents didn't? Wasn't this too strange?
However, what was it that caused the energy of the Wen Ji Continent to mutate, Zhao Hai didn't know. However, he believed that he would be able to find some clues in the future.
After calming down, Zhao Hai began to collect plants in the Space, especially those that could produce Wen Force. At the same time, Zhao Hai was also increasing his Natural Energy reserves. At the same time, he would take out the Golden Book from time to time and write something in it.
In this way, not only did Zhao Hai increase the number of plants in the Space, but he also increased the amount of Natural Energy stored in the Space. Through writing, the Golden Book's Civilization Force became even more powerful.
Zhao Hai did this in order to increase the amount of Natural Energy in the Space. By increasing the amount of Natural Energy in the Space, the Golden Book would be able to release more energy to help him in battle. This would make it easier for him to deal with enemies in the future. Zhao Hai was very clear that he would encounter all kinds of enemies in the future. If he were to encounter a Breaking River Expert, then the more energy he could release, the better it would be for him.
Time passed day by day. Zhao Hai didn't know how long he had been in the forest. The reason why he came out of the forest was because he had reached the end of the forest. Outside the forest was a village, and Zhao Hai appeared in this village.
This village looked very ordinary. The area of the village wasn't very big. At most, there were about a hundred families living here. Most of them lived in wooden houses. The entire village looked very peaceful.
Zhao Hai looked at the village and found it very interesting. As he walked into the village, several dogs ran out of the village and barked at Zhao Hai. At the same time, this alarmed the villagers. The women and children of the village immediately hid in their houses. At the same time, the men of the village surrounded Zhao Hai with bows and arrows in their hands. Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately stopped and looked at these people in confusion.
These people stopped about ten meters away from Zhao Hai. An old man with a bow and arrow looked at the soul above Zhao Hai's head. His expression couldn't help but loosen up. He cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "May I ask Sir Plant Master, why did you come to this village? Do you have any orders for me? "
Zhao Hai cupped his fist to the old man and said, "Elder, please. I am a botanist who went out to explore. I have been observing plants in the forest for the past few days. Later, I got lost and ran here. I just want to stay in this village and find something to eat. I also want to ask where this place is. I don't have any other intentions."
When the old man heard Zhao Hai, his expression finally relaxed. He waved his hand and the villagers immediately put away their bows. Then the old man bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "I ask Sir Plant Master to forgive me. Our village has been under attack recently, so we're a bit nervous. We're not targeting Sir, please don't blame us."
Zhao Hai quickly shook his head and said, "It's alright, I took the liberty to disturb you. Sir, can I enter the village to sell some food and also stay here for a night? Please rest assured, I'll pay you."
The old man immediately laughed and said, "Sir, you must be joking. Our village wouldn't even be able to invite someone like you, so why would we take your money? Sir, please follow me." Then he gestured for Zhao Hai to follow him.
After Zhao Hai thanked the old man, he followed the old man into the village. Then the old man invited Zhao Hai to his home. Two young men followed the old man into his home. After the old man introduced Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai knew that the two young men were Zhao Hai's sons. They were also famous hunters in the village.
The old man's house was very large. It was composed of three rows of wooden houses. The first row was the main house, with a living room and kitchen. There were two side rooms on both sides. The two side rooms were for the old man's sons.
The old man invited Zhao Hai to sit down in the living room. The old man's wife was a very neat old lady. When she saw Zhao Hai arrive, she immediately went to boil water and make tea. Zhao Hai repeatedly said that he didn't need to, but the old lady still insisted. Zhao Hai had no choice but to sit in the living room with the old man and wait.
Before long, the old lady gave Zhao Hai a pot of tea. However, the tea inside wasn't the tea that was sold outside. Instead, it was the leaves of a tree in the nearby mountains. The leaves of this tree could be drunk as tea. Moreover, the people in the village had been drinking this tea for generations.
Zhao Hai drank a mouthful. The taste was bitter, but it was good. After drinking a cup of tea, Zhao Hai said to the old man, "Sir, is there no scholar in your village? If there really was an attack, why didn't the scholar deal with him? "
The old man replied, "There is a scholar in our village. He is my youngest son. Although he is a scholar, his talent isn't very good. Therefore, after studying in the academy for a few years, he returned home and has been teaching the children in the village. This time, we don't know what attacked the village. My youngest son tried several times, but he couldn't catch it. In the end, he had to go to the academy in the city to ask for help. Therefore, he isn't in the village."
