It was already past noon, but it was still far from evening. Just because of Wen Yan's request, the table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes, which made Su Tang dazzled again.
So many dishes? If only Lu Ping was here. This was her first thought. Regarding food, she and Lu Ping's experience was quite pitiful. When they were in the organization, they only got food at a fixed time every day, and it was never delicious. Once, a member of the organization casually gave Su Tang half a piece of candy. That was the first time Su Tang knew that there was such a sweet and greasy taste.
Su Tang gave half of the candy to Lu Ping. Lu Ping also felt that it was very magical, and they were excited about it for a long time.
Later, they escaped from the organization and came to Zhenfeng College. The dining hall of Zhenfeng College had never satisfied the students. There were even students with Pivotal Soul who claimed that the food in the dining hall of the college was destroying their cultivation. But for Su Tang and Lu Ping, this was already very good, and they were both very satisfied.
But now, the table was filled with more than a dozen dishes that Su Tang had never seen before. These were all added dishes that Wen Yan's family came up with on the spur of the moment. She had never experienced such rich enjoyment.
"Eat, eat, eat more." Wen Yan put a lot of food in Su Tang's bowl. Su Tang nodded and tried one by one silently.
It was very delicious. If only Lu Ping was here. Su Tang thought again.
"You eat too." Wen Yan also greeted Siffin, but it seemed that she was not as attentive as she was to Su Tang. She obviously wanted to be more enthusiastic, but in the end, she left a bit of reservation.
No way?
Wen Tai, who didn't sit at the table and just sat at the side, immediately looked at Siffin a few more times. He knew his daughter. How could such a thing happen to her? But now, she was actually being reserved. This youth was somewhat special in her heart? Wen Tai, who had just relaxed, suddenly had something to worry about again.
Outer city, a street near the inner city.
Before Lu Ping could run too far, he realized that the inspectors from the State Supervisory Commission had given up on chasing him. After confirming that it was safe, Lu Ping walked to the rendezvous point that they had agreed on beforehand. After waiting for a while, he only saw the dean of Amaterasu College, Yunchong, coming over alone.
"Where are the others?" Lu Ping stepped forward and asked. According to the plan, Yunchong would not show himself directly. However, he would be the biggest backer of the operation. From the beginning to the end, he would secretly coordinate and cover for them. Now that he was here, there was no reason for Su Tang and the others to not be able to escape.
"Don't worry, they're fine." Yunchong knew who Lu Ping was referring to.
"Where did they go?" Lu Ping asked.
"Wen Yan's house." Yunchong confirmed that Lu Ping could escape. He immediately went to check on the other two routes. Then, he saw Wen Yan take Su Tang and Siffin to hide in her house. The people from the State Supervisory Commission could only return in dissatisfaction.
"Oh." Lu Ping was relieved, but Yunchong still had a worried expression on his face.
Su Tang, Siffin, and Wen Yan had escaped, but what about Shujihira and Shi Ao? The people from the State Supervisory Commission did not chase them, and Yunchong could not find them even after circling around.
These two were Yunchong's students. He knew their backgrounds very well. Both of them came from ordinary families, and their homes were not in Zhiling City. There was no place for them to hide in the wealthy district near the inner city. In addition, both of them were injured, especially Shujihira, who was on the verge of collapse and could not run very fast. Yunchong had already thought about how to save the two without exposing his identity, but the two of them had escaped on their own. This was very strange.
After circling around twice and finding nothing, Yunchong could only wait for the people from the State Supervisory Commission to leave before using the Soul of Sound to send a message that his students would understand. Then, he rushed to the agreed meeting place, but only saw Lu Ping.
But Yunchong's worry did not last long. After waiting here for a while, Shujihira and Shi Ao finally appeared at the end of the street.
Yunchong was relieved, but immediately realized that there was an old man following behind them. It looked like they were together.
A master helping them?
Yunchong thought to himself. This person seemed to be quite capable if he hadn't sensed him at all.
Yun Chong's attention was already on the old man, but Lu Ping was faster than him. He went over and looked at the old man. He looked at the old man, a bit surprised.
"Dean?" Lu Ping called out.
Dean? Lu Ping's dean. That was the dean of Zhenfeng College? That Guo Youdao who had founded a college in a remote mountainous area twenty years ago and claimed to surpass the Big Four?
Surpassing the Big Four? That was too arrogant. Amaterasu and Bipolar were among the best in the Zhiling district. But they had always looked up to the Big Four. Therefore, Yunchong was very dismissive of Guo Youdao's actions back then. He thought it was complete and utter boasting. He even had some doubts about Guo Youdao's background in the Big Four.
He and Chu Min could be considered to be very close, but this time, before the four students from Zhaifeng Academy came over. He'd never known that Chu Min seemed to have some sort of relationship with Guo Youdao. He'd asked when he'd been with Chu Min outside the city just now, but Chu Min had only said that she'd gotten to know him during her travels and hadn't gone into too much detail. Yunchong hadn't pressed too hard either. But judging from Chu Min's attitude, she didn't treat Guo Youdao as a joke like most people did. This made him vaguely feel that Guo Youdao wasn't as simple as he'd thought.
Now, he finally believed it completely.
Guo Youdao had taken Shujihira and Shi Ao away without him noticing.
"You've improved a lot in half a month!" Guo Youdao said to Lu Ping. Yunchong arrived in front of them at this time. Shujihira and Shi Ao naturally greeted their teacher.
"President Guo." Yunchong was quite curious about this unassuming old man.
"Dean Yunchong." Guo Youdao greeted him as well.
"Where are the students? I thought you'd bring them, "Guo Youdao said.
"You've been there all this time?" Yunchong was surprised. He'd been careful to hide his identity and hadn't wanted anyone to see him. But there had been someone spying on them from the shadows, and he hadn't noticed at all.
"Of course. It's interesting that I'm leading your students, but you're leading Zhenfeng College's students? "Guo Youdao smiled.
Was it interesting?
Yunchong smiled wryly. He really didn't find it interesting. They were going up against the Council! When they arrived, they saw Wen Yan, Shujihira, and Shi Ao fighting with the Council. Yunchong sighed inwardly. It wouldn't be easy to deal with the aftermath of this, but Guo Youdao actually said it was interesting. What kind of environment was the Canyon Peak District like? Even if there wasn't a Council, the Xuan Army Empire wouldn't be lacking in regulation. If the City Lord Manor acted as the Council's representative, it should be more forceful than a regular Council. Even if the Council in the Zhiling District couldn't control Zhenfeng College, they could at least communicate with the Canyon Peak District. What was this old man relying on to be so indifferent and find this interesting?
