The four great academies could be said to be very cautious with each other. That's why the headmaster personally came to the meeting this time, and the parties didn't bring too many people. Apart from the four teams that were bribed first, each headmaster only had one or two students with him. This was to make it easier to control the situation and not lose control because of a single word.
In the end, there were people from the Big Dipper Gate in the Merry Forest. Considering that the four great sects were spread all over the world, this kind of coincidence couldn't be considered too unexpected. Moreover, there were only a few people, so it wasn't likely to cause any trouble. That's why everyone didn't think much of it.
But now, Lu Ping was actually among the people who were already there, so those who knew him couldn't help but think too much. Lu Ping's presence was like an ambush of elites. Thinking of how he was violently hammered by Lu Ping and then used as a hostage to threaten the people of the Southern Sky Gate, Zhou Xiao felt as if he understood something and was the first to jump up.
"Headmaster Zhou, don't be impatient. It was just a coincidence." Xu Mai quickly said. Behind him, Xu Lixue was trying hard to hold back his laughter! He was present when Lu Ping violently hammered Zhou Xiao that day. He understood that with Zhou Xiao's status, this matter must have left a very deep psychological shadow.
But Zhou Xiao couldn't calm down immediately. He saw Hai Yuesheng and Qiansu looking at him with a stunned expression, and realized that these two had actually never seen Lu Ping before. He hastily introduced him to them: "I'm afraid the two headmasters don't know him. That's Lu Ping."
Lu Ping!
When this name came out, although Hai Yuesheng and Qiansu didn't jump up immediately, their expressions also changed. Especially Qiansu, who was personally pouring tea for Xu Mai, who was the last to arrive, already subconsciously clenched her fists.
Compared to Que Yue Academy, their Black Tortoise Academy's resentment towards Lu Ping was a bit greater, even more so than Southern Sky Academy.
Not counting the casualties of the ordinary disciples, Southern Sky Academy's headmaster Zhou Xiao was nothing more than being threatened by Lu Ping and suffering great humiliation. And on the Black Tortoise Academy's side, three of the seven constellations were personally killed by Lu Ping. Their supreme divine weapon, the Divine Martial Seal, was also snatched away by Lu Ping to erase the Red Lotus brand. He did not know if it was still in his hands or if it was handed over to the North Style Academy. In short, if it wasn't for the special circumstances at the moment, they would definitely fight to the death with Lu Ping and the Black Tortoise Academy. No one would be able to persuade them otherwise.
But right now, they didn't bring many people with them. Apart from the leader of the group, the rest of them weren't elites. Lu Ping suddenly jumped out from North Style Academy's side, Hai Yuesheng and Qiansu immediately understood why Zhou Xiao jumped out. The North Style Academy was breaking the rules. They had hidden such a big tiger here. What were they trying to do?
Seeing that Hai Yuesheng and Qiansu's expressions had also changed, Xu Mai helplessly shook his head and said, "Does everyone not trust this old man?"
Zhou Xiaogang had been in a moment of panic. Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, he also felt that if Big Dipper had any ulterior motives, he wouldn't have let them leave Big Dipper Mountain that day. The fact that Lu Ping was lying in ambush here was at most a precautionary measure. He shouldn't have any ulterior motives.
While thinking, he slowly returned to his seat. He looked at Xu Mai and said, "Could it be that Dean Xu doesn't really trust us?"
Xu Mai stared blankly for a moment, but he immediately understood the meaning behind Zhou Xiao's words. He shook his head again and said, "It was really just a coincidence."
Zhou Xiao didn't say anything else. Whether it was true or not, it would depend on Lu Ping's next move. However, what were the three people in front of them doing with the string of divine weapons in their hands? Could it be that they had robbed the Treasure Forest?
Naturally, a place like the Treasure Forest couldn't enter the eyes of the four deans, but they still knew about this place. Seeing that Lu Ping's group had such a large number of divine weapons in their hands, other than robbing the Treasure Forest, what other possibility was there?
Just as everyone was pondering, Lu Ping couldn't help but greet Xu Mai and Xu Lixue. He waved his hand at them. Xu Lixue nodded. What about Xu Mai? The aged Principal of the North Star Academy didn't know how to respond to a youth waving his hand at him.
"Teacher, I will go and have a word with him," Xu Lixue said to Xu Mai.
"Don't waste the three deans' time. You should go and talk with them," Xu Mai said.
Xu Lixue knew that the students from the four academies would have to leave as well. If he were to leave, Xu Mai would be the only one left in the North Star Academy. Previously, the North Star Academy was being targeted by the three academies. Hence, it could be said that the North Star Academy was divided into two factions. Xu Lixue felt a little uneasy when he was alone.
"Go, don't worry about me," Xu Mai saw through Xu Lixue's thoughts and said.
"Yes, teacher." Xu Lixue also understood Xu Mai's intention. By sending him away as well, this could be considered as expressing their attitude towards the three academies. This way, they wouldn't feel uneasy whenever they saw Lu Ping.
Xu Lixue walked towards Lu Ping and the others. The other three deans were looking at Lu Ping, but the pitiful Lu Ping didn't even spare them a glance. When he saw Xu Lixue walking towards him, he stopped and waited.
"The deans have something to talk about. Let's talk while we walk." Xu Lixue arrived in front of Lu Ping and said.
"What is it?" Lu Ping asked.
"This … … I will have to wait until they finish their discussion." Xu Lixue knew that the deans would definitely be able to hear their conversation, but he didn't try to hide anything.
"Oh, no. I mean, what do you want to talk about with me?" Lu Ping said hurriedly.
"Oh, oh … … Nothing much. Let's talk while we walk." Xu Lixue realized that Lu Ping didn't care about what the four deans wanted to talk about. He asked about his purpose of coming here. Xu Lixue suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Ping followed him out of the forest. Fang Yizhu was a little helpless. He was actually quite curious about what the four deans wanted to talk about. But Lu Ping wasn't curious. No one would pay attention to him if he asked. He could only follow them resentfully. After him, Morin, Su Tang, and Ling Ziyan followed together. Sister Jin carried two strings of divine weapons, and her heart was in turmoil.
Sitting at that table were the deans of the four academies whose names shook the world. After she walked down, she only took a peek, and her heart was already beating faster. It was as if she had done something she shouldn't have done. She didn't dare to look again.
However, Lu Ping just waved his hand at the North Style Academy's dean … …
Waving his hand wasn't a good etiquette. She was already very surprised when Lu Ping said that he was from the Big Dipper Gate. But now, it seemed that he didn't take it seriously. She didn't dare to look at the four deans even if she wanted to, and Lu Ping didn't look again after waving his hand. It was the same as not looking, but it was a completely different matter.
Then, she looked at the bearded man who was chatting with Lu Ping. He followed the North Style Academy's dean amiably. Wasn't this person Xu Lixue, the head disciple of the North Style Dubhe Peak?
Whether it was the deans of the four academies or Xu Lixue, they were all legendary figures to Sister Jin. But now, they appeared so close to her, and the people traveling with her didn't care about these legends at all.
