After being reprimanded, the students of God Vexation Academy, who had just gotten over their humiliation, flushed with shame.
"Nephew Zhu, you've beaten them up and vented your anger. How about you let them go back and heal?" Liang Zhong asked.
"The students can leave, but the disciplinary institute and the dean must stay. I won't let them go until I get the City Lord's Seal," Zhu Minglang said.
"What City Lord's Seal?" Liang Zhong asked, puzzled.
"The Runyu City Lord's Seal," Zhu Minglang said.
Liang Zhong walked over to the dean, Lian Feiling, and looked at him in surprise. He said with some dissatisfaction, "Although I've retired and shouldn't interfere with the affairs of God Vexation Academy, as the dean, why are you hogging the City Lord's Seal of Runyu City?"
"Guest Elder, you may not know, but the City Lord's Seal …" Lian Feiling suddenly lowered his voice halfway, so that only Liang Zhong could hear him.
After hearing this, Liang Zhong frowned. He glanced at Lian Feiling, then back to Zhu Minglang. After a while, he said, "Nephew Zhu, why don't you raise some other conditions? The City Lord's Seal seems to be in a special situation. It's currently in the hands of the enforcer, Yan Guang."
Could it be that Yan Guang had also discovered the Ancient Sacred Lantern Jade in the City Lord's Seal? Otherwise, why wouldn't he hand it over?
Zhu Minglang couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
He thought that the Ancient Sacred Lantern Jade was the easiest to obtain, but he didn't expect it to involve so many complicated matters.
"I only need the City Lord's Seal. Without it, it'll be very difficult for Runyu City to recover. Many of the laws that can be enforced won't be recognized, and some people may take advantage of the situation to disrupt it," Zhu Minglang said.
"I'll personally negotiate with Yan Guang about this matter. Yan Guang has a cold temperament, so I suggest you don't have any direct conflicts with him," Liang Zhong said.
"Hmph, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to not have a grudge with this keeper of order. His way of doing things is disgusting," said Zhu Minglang.
"Tea Colored Land has always been in chaos. It's not easy to manage this place. Yan Guang can't be absolutely fair most of the time, but he's not a completely disqualified person. How about this? Uncle Liang will guarantee you that you'll let everyone go. I'll do my best to get Yan Guang to give you the City Lord's Seal, but it'll take some time," Liang Zhong said.
"Everyone else can leave. Even Felice has to come with me to Runyu City," Zhu Minglang said.
"Why?" Liang Zhong was puzzled.
"Why don't Uncle Liang come with me? You'll understand."
"Alright."
…
After telling the other members of God Nuisance Academy to leave, Zhu Minglang grabbed Lian Feiling and brought Liang Zhong to Runyu City.
Lian Feiling was extremely angry. He was the dean. How could he be dragged around like an old dog? The most hateful thing was that Liang Zhong was exceptionally indulgent towards Zhu Minglang!
When they were about to reach Runyu City, Liang Zhong saw Lian Feiling, who was covered in blood, still glaring at him with eyes filled with anger. Liang Zhong helplessly shook his head and whispered to the dean, "Lian Feiling, do you think I'm siding with an outsider?"
"Isn't that so?!" Lian Feiling lay there paralyzed, his entire body aching.
"If the other party was an ordinary person, of course you could hold your head high and say things like the dignity of God Nuisance Academy is inviolable. But since you know that the other party is Zhu Minglang from the Zhu Clan, do you think such words have any meaning? Do you know what kind of person Zhu Tianguan is in the Imperial Capital? "Liang Zhong said.
"He's just a smithing clan. Why should our God Nuisance Academy be afraid of them?" Lian Feiling was even more dissatisfied.
"You've stayed in this taiga for too long. You should go out more often. That way, you won't be blinded by your own arrogance and ignorance. What right does our West Path Divine Mortal Academy have to challenge the head of the Six Great Clans? Even the highest court of our Divine Mortal Academy has to reason with them. You, on the other hand, are still trying to be rude and unreasonable! Zhu Tianguan's personality is unpredictable. He's exterminated many clans and sects over the years. And most of the time, it's just for trivial matters. You, Lian Feiling, attacked the young master of the Zhu Clan. If you lose, everything will be fine. But if you win and injure someone, you'll die in the wilderness in less than half a month. Even if we know that it's the Zhu Clan who did it, do you think we can get justice for you? You know very well that there's no need to talk about morals with people who aren't on the same level. But you have to be clear about this. Right now, your status is lower than his, and your strength is inferior. As a former dean, I attacked a junior. Do you think Zhu Tianguan will talk about morals with me? "
Liang Zhong really didn't want to talk to Lian Feiling about this.
The West Path Divine Mortal Academy had been the local tyrant of this taiga for too long. They could do whatever they wanted.
But Liang Zhong was different. He often went to the Imperial Capital. He knew better than anyone else that the West Path Divine Mortal Academy was a little too arrogant.
In fact, most of the countries, forces, sects, and sects in the west were too arrogant. The power of the imperial court was still unimaginable to these people. Usually, they would only regret it when a great disaster befell them.
When clashing with people of equal status, either you were in the right, or you were stronger than them.
Lian Feiling didn't have either. His status was even lower than theirs.
If this wasn't asking for it, then what was?
… …
When they arrived at Runyu City, they threw Lian Feiling into the market.
Liang Zhong looked at the people who were being persecuted and didn't say a word.
Lian Feiling was still angry and disdainful. From his point of view, these people weren't from the Divine Mortal Academy. They were from those powers that didn't follow the rules. Why should they be blamed for this?
"Apologize if you want to be the Dean for the rest of your life." Liang Zhong sighed and said to Lian Feiling.
In the market, more and more people gathered to watch.
They didn't dare to believe that City Lord Zhu actually brought the Dean of the Divine Mortal Academy here.
Many people still remembered that a few days ago, Lian Feiling's arrogant look in front of the city gates. When he took out the verdict document, it was like a judge had sentenced this city to death!
Lian Feiling gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. However, he had no choice but to bend down and lower his head.
"Our Divine Mortal Academy didn't handle this matter properly. It was our negligence." Lian Feiling finally said this sentence.
"Our Divine Mortal Academy has already announced that those who persecute the residents of Runyu City will be severely punished. For the next few days, please don't worry. However, I still suggest that everyone move out of this city as soon as possible. "Liang Zhong opened his mouth and said.
The culprits were being punished one by one. The news spread quickly across the Tan Coloured Lands.
The people who were persecuted in Runyu City could finally be accounted for.
Of course, Zhu Minglang used the spiritual vein as an excuse to get Divine Mortal Academy to compensate a sum of money before allowing them to leave.
This sum of money, Zhu Minglang gave it to Military Advisor Yao to distribute to the residents of Runyu City who had suffered.
If they wanted to move out of this city, this sum of money should be enough for them to set up a new home.
