At the foot of Megrez Peak.
Lu Ping and Zi Mu had just reached the foot of the mountain, when two people suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, black clothed and masked, blocking the two of them at the entrance of the mountain.
"Both of you, please wait." The two of them were wearing the iconic attire of the Mizar Peak's secret envoys, but one of them still raised a badge in his hand, indicating to the two of them. On the front "Mizar", on the back "Secret Assistant", the badge engraved with such words, was the true identity symbol of the Mizar Peak's secret envoys.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ping stopped in his tracks, while asking, he paid attention to his left and right, and was on guard.
"Senior Bai still has a few questions to ask the two of you." The other person replied, his words were rather courteous.
"Senior Bai?" Lu Ping had no concept of this title, and didn't realise who it was.
"It's senior Bai." Zi Mu hurriedly said.
"Oh." A thin and small figure appeared in Lu Ping's mind.
"Wait?" He asked Zi Mu.
"Of course." Zi Mu wiped his sweat. Hearing Lu Ping's words, could it be that they could reject the request of the Mizar Peak's head disciple? Of course he didn't know that Lu Ping had once rejected the request of the Canyon Peak's city lord, without any conflict, and purely because he didn't want to.
"Alright." Lu Ping respected Zi Mu's opinion, and decided to give him face and wait for Bai Li. The two of them then stood by the roadside. The two Mizar Peak's secret envoys stood quietly at the side, and didn't speak to the two of them.
Zi Mu was a little apprehensive, not knowing what Bai Li wanted to find the two of them for. With the two secret envoys here, it wasn't convenient for him to chat with Lu Ping, so he could only wait.
Luckily they didn't have to wait too long, and Bai Li's figure very quickly appeared on the mountain path. He wasn't tall, but his pace was very fast. He didn't use the power of his soul, but it didn't take him long to arrive beside the two of them. He nodded at the two Phantom Envoys, and the two of them bowed slightly before disappearing into thin air.
Bai Li stared at the two of them, but mostly at Lu Ping. His face did not reveal any emotions.
"You are very suspicious," Bai Li suddenly said.
"How so?" Lu Ping's expression was calm.
"Your exact origin and strength are unknown. You caused a huge disaster in the Black Army Empire and escaped to the North Style Academy. I want to escape from the pursuit of the Xuan Jun Empire. That's the main reason why you're here, right? "Bai Li said. He actually had a good understanding of Lu Ping's background. The North Style Academy was famous all over the world. Naturally, it had an effective intelligence system. But where did Lu Ping come from? The only information he could find was from Zhenfeng College onwards. He had tried many ways to obtain information before that, but to no avail.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"…" Bai Li didn't expect Lu Ping to admit it so easily. He didn't know what to say next. He paused for a long time before he spoke with a solemn expression.
"Normally, the North Style Academy won't reject students for this reason. However, this doesn't mean that the academy will definitely reject the negotiation of the Black Army Empire and hand you over," Bai Li said.
"Oh? Didn't you say that the four great academies aren't afraid of the Black Army Empire? "Lu Ping was puzzled.
"Who said I'm afraid? I'm talking about negotiation! Do you understand negotiation? It's what the Black Army Empire means to request the academy. " Bai Li, who was usually calm and unfeeling, was annoyed when Lu Ping misunderstood him. His neck turned red, and he started arguing with Lu Ping.
"Then did the Black Army Empire request it?" Lu Ping asked.
"…" Bai Li was speechless again. In fact, he was very clear that the Black Army Empire wouldn't make such a request if it wasn't an urgent matter. The four great academies might have a high status, but the three great empires that ruled over this continent weren't simple either. They would give sufficient courtesy and respect to the four great academies, but they wouldn't lower their heads and lose their face.
So the Black Army Empire requested the four great academies for this matter? That's too lowly. Make a request? That's too domineering, it wouldn't be suitable for either side. That was why Bai Li had used the word "negotiate," but Lu Ping had misunderstood it. In the end, he had still used the word "request" when he was arguing. It could be seen that at least in Bai Li's mind, his attitude on the surface was one thing, but in his heart, he placed the academy above the empire. He really minded if others thought that the North Style Academy was afraid of the three great empires.
"If that's the case, I'm fine right?" Lu Ping said.
"I said it before, I don't deny the possibility of negotiation." Bai Li glared at him and said. But after saying that, he knew that this threat was useless. Lu Ping ran to the North Style Academy to seek refuge, he must have calculated the stakes involved. The Black Army Empire was in a dilemma. But the North Style Academy was also bracing themselves. They hoped to live in harmony with the three great empires, they didn't want to have such a conflict. But if they didn't accept it, wouldn't it show that they were afraid of the Black Army Empire? Bai Li's stomping attitude had already indicated that the North Style Academy couldn't accept this.
If that's the case, wouldn't they be using the North Style Academy to help this kid take the thunder? Despicable! This was what Bai Li was thinking, but he didn't know that Lu Ping didn't know how subtle and complicated the relationship between them was. If it were Guo Youdao, he would have heard Bai Li's thoughts and answered him responsibly, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Guo Youdao … …
Bai Li also thought of this name at this moment.
This was the person recommended by Lu Ping. So he was clear that this arrangement was very likely planned by this person. But after understanding this person, he found out a part of Zhenfeng College's deeds, but he couldn't find out anything about this person's background in the North Style Academy. But to be able to obtain the recommendation of the North Style Academy, he was definitely from the North Style Academy.
Guo Youdao, this name was extremely similar to his teacher Guo Wushu's name. When he thought about how Guo Wushu paid special attention to Lu Ping, it wasn't that he didn't realize something. But it wasn't convenient for him to ask his teacher, because regarding Lu Ping, Guo Wushu had already rejected him. If he asked again, it would only reveal that he was secretly investigating the matter Guo Wushu told him not to pay attention to. Although he had a very legitimate reason, he still didn't want to alarm his teacher unless it was absolutely necessary.
Lu Ping didn't know that Bai Li was deep in thought. Seeing that Bai Li didn't speak for a while, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I said before, you are very suspicious." Bai Li said.
"Can I deny it?" Lu Ping said.
"Tell me clearly about your background and the problem on your body." Bai Li said.
"Then I will still be suspicious." Lu Ping expressed.
"I will keep my eyes on you." Bai Li said coldly.
Lu Ping smiled bitterly: "Why is it like this again? Fortunately, I am already used to it."
"What do you mean?"
"When I was in Zhenfeng College, our discipline team captain had been watching me since I was a year old. He watched me for no less than three years. Now, it's your turn. "Lu Ping said.
Bai Li almost died from anger.
This guy actually compared him, the head disciple of Mizar Peak who was in charge of the North Style Academy's famous Dark Emissary, to some bullshit discipline team captain from their mountain village academy?
If it wasn't for his teacher paying special attention to Lu Ping, he really wanted to immediately teach Lu Ping a lesson.
While thinking, Bai Li suddenly raised his finger. The two Dark Emissaries who had hidden away just now appeared again.
"Take him away." Bai Li pointed with his finger.
