What kind of place was the Merry Forest? After staying here for a few days, Lu Ping and the others already had some understanding of the place. Moreover, they were always on guard, so they basically didn't miss any sign of trouble. The Merry Forest was always bustling at night, and cold and cheerless during the day. They hadn't seen any daytime guests in the past few days, let alone dozens of them. It really didn't seem like they were here to play in the Merry Forest.
But when Fang Yizhu looked down, he was immediately stunned, and revealed a puzzled expression.
"People from the four great academies?" He said in surprise, and looked at Lu Ping.
"Really?" Lu Ping couldn't tell. The four great academies each had their own uniforms, but the dozens of people who came were all wearing ordinary clothes. Fang Yizhu could recognize them because he saw familiar faces among them. They were actually the disciples of the Big Dipper Academy.
After the Seven Star Trial, the harmony between the four great academies was completely torn apart on the surface. Not triggering a war was already the result of the four great academies restraining themselves. After all, they had already noticed the instigation and conspiracy. Continuing to make a big fuss at this time would only give the enemies hiding in the dark more opportunities.
But even so, the four great academies walking together surprised those who knew the situation. But after a few more glances, Fang Yizhu immediately saw that there was a gap between the North Style Academy and the other three great academies. They didn't even pretend to be harmonious.
But even so, the North Style Academy still came to the Merry Forest with the other three great academies. No matter how he thought about it, there should be a very important matter.
Just at this time, they heard the negotiators from the four great academies put forward their request: clear the area.
Did the four great academies come to the Merry Forest to reserve it? What were they doing?
Fang Yizhu scratched his head, he couldn't figure it out. He looked at Lu Ping, who wasn't thinking about it at all. Sister Jin was already somewhat helpless, and was about to pack up her things.
"What are you doing?" Fang Yizhu looked at her.
"The four great academies are also using this area, why can't we let them?" Sister Jin looked back at him.
This was the position of the four great academies in the hearts of ordinary people. Hearing the requirements of the four academies was like hearing the imperial edict of the three empires. No matter what thoughts one had, no one dared to go against it.
"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. We are both from North Style Academy." Fang Yizhu pointed at Lu Ping and himself as he said to Jin.
"Ah?" Jin was surprised.
"I could have done the same. I think my letter was from the South Sky Academy," Morin said with a wretched expression.
"Mine is from Black Tortoise Academy, I gave it to someone else." Su Tang said.
"So, Siffin's letter was Que Yue? He probably didn't go either, "Morin said.
"I met his younger brother at North Style Academy, but it seems he didn't go." Lu Ping said.
"He's Yan Qiuci's son. It doesn't matter if he goes to the Four Great Academies or not." Morin sighed. Things like family background would always cause him to feel melancholy and envy. In his opinion, their Mo Clan was undoubtedly the most unfortunate clan on the continent.
Jin had just tidied up the things in her hands, but they had already fallen back onto the floor. She was already completely shocked. Why did she feel that every single one of these boys and girls in front of her had a great background? What kind of companions did he suddenly have?!
… …
… …
In the bamboo house in the forest.
Tie Tou quickly walked up the stairs and arrived in front of the door. Before he could knock, Mister Pei had already opened the door from inside.
"What's the matter?" Mister Pei looked at him and said.
"People from the Four Great Academies have come to Merry Forest. They said they want to book the entire place," Tie Tou said.
"People from the Four Great Academies? Book the entire place? "Mister Pei was stunned. Ever since he took charge of the Merry Forest business, he had imagined all kinds of things happening here. However, he had never thought of today's scene.
"Which one of the Four Great Academies are they from?" He asked as he walked out of the house.
"All of them," Tie Tou said.
"All of them?" Mister Pei continued to be flabbergasted.
"Yes. Although they are all wearing casual clothes, the subordinates who have observed said that they are divided into four factions. This is because the people from the Four Great Academies are all here," Tie Tou said.
"So, there are quite a lot of people here?" Mister Pei asked.
"Yes." Tie Tou nodded.
"Do as I say. Ask the guests who are still here to leave quickly. Ask them how long they will be here and stop receiving guests for the next few days," Mister Pei said.
"That's not difficult. But how should we deal with Quick Room One?" Tie Tou asked.
With the backing of the Four Great Academies, there was no need to worry about the second-rate and third-rate guests in Merry Forest. Only Quick Room One had Mister Pei's special instructions, so they had to ask for instructions on how to deal with it.
"They … Just go up and greet them. Then, let them be," Mister Pei said. "We are open for business, and the guests there are all ordinary people. If there are guests who refuse to leave, the Four Great Academies can't blame us."
"Understood." Tie Tou nodded, but he was secretly shocked. From what Mister Pei had said, it was possible that the people in Quick Room One wouldn't give face to the Four Great Academies. No wonder Mister Pei didn't want them to provoke them. It seemed like they were not simple people.
Tie Tou left with his orders. Mister Pei stood on the balcony outside, his brows furrowed even deeper than when Tie Tou had sent him the news.
Tie Tou had specially come to ask for instructions on Quick Room One, but Mister Pei didn't really care about this. He was more concerned about the reason why the Four Great Academies had suddenly gathered in Merry Forest.
Had they already sensed something?
That was what he was most worried about. The Merry Forest was very close to the Treasure Forest, and was the favorite place for the people of the Treasure Forest to squander money. In fact, its birth seemed to be because of the existence of the Treasure Forest, and it was the best example of a business opportunity for the people of Changfeng.
But in reality, the true backer of Merry Forest had nothing to do with Changfeng people. It was only born because of Treasure Forest, and Treasure Forest was a place for the trade of mystical weapons. Although both mystical weapons and cultivators were second or third-rate in Treasure Forest, the number of mystical weapons that flowed in and out of Treasure Forest every day was extremely high. It was so high that many people couldn't even dream of it.
The biggest Divine Weapon business in the world was the Precious Treasures Pavilion, and the one that focused the most on Divine Weapon business was naturally the Precious Treasures Pavilion. And this Merry Forest that popped up next to the Forest of Treasures, its true backer was also the Precious Treasures Pavilion.
It had never interfered with the business and battles that happened in Treasure Forest every day, but no one knew better than Merry Forest where all the mystical weapons flowed in and out of Treasure Forest.
The Precious Treasure Pavilion's recent situation was not good. Many people were confused, but those who knew knew what was going on.
Now that the people of the Four Great Academies had suddenly gathered in Merry Forest, Mister Pei, who knew the situation, could not help but worry.
At this time, he suddenly felt a strange movement in the forest beside him. Without making a sound, without even looking, Mister Pei's figure suddenly floated in the direction of the movement.
A figure immediately stood out from behind a tree, looking at Mister Pei with a smile.
