Just as Feng Hao was about to get closer, the mustached elder once again blocked his path.
"Three leaders, my Poison God Manor is a human force. This teacher from your Mortal Emperor Manor is trying to force us to withdraw from the Grand Competition. Is he trying to force us out of the competition?"
His tone was forceful and every word echoed throughout the area.
Clearly, he wanted everyone to misunderstand that the Mortal Emperor Manor was inferior to his Poison God Manor. That was why he used such a despicable method to force him. At the same time, he was also mocking the Mortal Emperor Manor for being inferior to his Poison God Manor.
In an instant, practically everyone's gazes were focused on this area. The flow of people in the plaza also slowed down as they turned around to pay attention to the situation here.
Indeed, Liu Canyan was trying to force him. This made everyone suspect if this was another method of the Mortal Emperor Manor.
If that was the case, the Mortal Emperor Manor's reputation would hit rock bottom and they would be despised by the entire human race.
"This is indeed a brilliant plan."
On the high platform, the person-in-charge of Abyss Manor said in a mocking tone. He cast a disdainful glance at the old man beside him, causing his face to darken.
No one had expected that the old man with the English mustache would dare to directly target the Mortal Emperor Mansion.
"Lord Left Protector …"
Wan Hongwen hesitated for a moment before he whispered in his ear.
"Are you serious?"
The old man's expressionless face finally revealed a trace of emotion. Although it was only for a moment, many people still managed to catch it.
"I'm ninety percent sure."
Wan Hongwen nodded with a serious expression.
For a moment, a strange expression appeared in the cloudy eyes of the white-haired, ruddy left protector. It was like a startling waterfall, frightening one's mind.
Those who knew him, such as the person-in-charge of Abyss Manor and Asura Manor, couldn't help but be stunned. They couldn't understand what Wan Hongwen had said to him to cause such a fluctuation in his emotions.
The other three deans of the Mortal Emperor Manor looked at each other in confusion.
What the hell is this old fox trying to do? Does he really want the Human Emperor's Mansion and the Poison God's Mansion to fall out because of this?
This was definitely not a good thing for the Mortal Emperor Palace. Regardless of the result of the battle between the two sides, the Mortal Emperor Palace would withdraw from the supreme stage of the Heavenly Academy.
A brief moment later, the scene strangely quietened down. Everyone was waiting to see if the Human Emperor Manor would take a step back or fall out with the Poison God Manor.
The gloating smile on the face of the person in charge of Hell Palace also disappeared as he carefully pondered what was different about this matter.
As for the person in charge of the Asura Manor, his gaze would occasionally land on Feng Hao. His eyes glimmered with an unknown light.
The three of them had known each other for more than a day or two. It was precisely because they knew each other too well that they had such doubts. They also guessed that there must be something unknown behind this incident. Otherwise, this calm and unperturbed old man would definitely not lose his composure and consider things like this.
"Mother, have we been poisoned? Is that why we can't remember Father?"
Little Qing Meng looked up at Qing Wu.
Qing Wu didn't say anything and only shook his head. His eyes flickered with confusion.
"Could it be that I really know him?"
Looking at Feng Hao not far away, an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. It was somewhat contradictory.
…
A short while later, the old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion returned to normal. He seemed to have made some sort of decision in his heart. After sweeping a glance at Fenghao and the others, whose faces were still filled with resentment, he then looked at Qing Wu and her mother, who had lost expressions. Finally, his gaze landed on the eight character moustache old man.
"Our Emperor's Palace has always been fair and just. How could you say that we're forcing you? As long as you're a human under thirty years old, you're allowed to participate in the Newcomer Ranking Competition … Instructor Liu might not have thought this through, but if the two of them aren't poisoned and have lost their memories, why don't you let him treat them?"
There was no anger in his indifferent voice, but it carried an indescribable majesty. His voice reverberated through the entire place and shook everyone's hearts.
As soon as he said that, many people were stunned. Even the person in charge of the Palace of Hell looked at him in disbelief, as if he was looking at a stranger.
The white-haired old man's words were undoubtedly an announcement that he supported Liu Canyan and Feng Hao's actions.
Wasn't this the same as completely offending the Poison God Manor?
He was digging his own grave for the Mortal Emperor Manor.
The entire place was in an uproar. The foreign races that were mixed in the crowd didn't expect that they would have such a harvest on this trip.
A fight between two tigers was exactly what they wanted to see.
"You …"
The old man with the English mustache widened his eyes and looked at him dumbfoundedly. He was actually speechless. After a while, he shouted angrily, "Good, very good. My Poison God Manor does things in an open and aboveboard manner. Today, I'd like to see what exactly your Mortal Emperor Manor is going to do to deal with my Poison God Manor."
He also understood that the person in charge of the Mortal Emperor Manor was already biased towards Feng Hao and the others. There was nothing he could do.
"Thank you, my lord."
Feng Hao bowed gratefully to the white-haired old man on the high platform. Then, under the resentful gazes of the old man with the English mustache and the handsome man, he quickly walked towards Qing Wu and her daughter.
"Great-grandfather."
The handsome man seemed a little anxious, but he was stopped by the old man with the English mustache, who indicated that he shouldn't speak.
"So what if you're a Peak Heavenly Pole Apothecary?"
An invisible ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
"Wu 'er."
When he came closer, Feng Hao's eyes rippled as he looked at the familiar person. However, when he saw the look in her eyes as if she was looking at a stranger, his heart clenched. There was a touch of pain and self-blame in the depths of his eyes. After a while, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and said to Qing Wu, "Wu 'er, can you give me your hand?"
"Uncle, I'll give it to you."
While Qing Wu was hesitating, Little Qing Meng stretched out a hand and looked at him with a smile.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that this strange uncle in front of her would not hurt her. On the contrary, he was very kind, just like her mother …
"Little Meng 'er."
Hearing this familiar name, Feng Hao felt a little sour in his nose. He squatted down and gently held Little Qing Meng's white hand.
Seeing this scene, Qing Wu opened her mouth. She originally wanted to stop him, but when she saw the self-blame and guilt in the depths of Feng Hao's eyes, her cold heart softened for some reason.
"This …"
After a while, Feng Hao, who was feeling her pulse, became more and more gloomy.
Because he found that Little Qing Meng showed no signs of being poisoned.
