Chapter 1298: Protection
No matter how the guards tried to argue, Hu Bazi's aura didn't falter in the slightest.
But then he realized that these guards were just putting their lives on the line, so he didn't try to pressure them too much. He retracted his aura, pointed at the guard captain, and said, "I won't pressure you.
"I won't use my power to pressure you. Go and find the person in charge of your academy. I want to see, with me here, who dares to touch Young Master Ye?"
When they saw Hu Bazi's unyielding attitude, the guards couldn't do anything.
This wasn't a situation they could control, so the guard captain could only nod and hurry to the academy's board of directors.
A moment later, a scholarly man walked out of the Divine Martial Academy, standing beside the captain of the guards.
"Lord Ba, I heard someone from our academy angered you."
The scholarly man walked over with a smile, half bent at the waist, and took Hu Bazi's hand.
"Not really," snorted Hu Bazi.
"What's going on? Don't you recognize me? How dare you provoke me? What's going on? "
Under the scholarly man's scolding, the guard captains explained the situation.
The scholarly man reprimanded them for a while before he said with a smile on his face.
"Please calm down, Lord Ba. This isn't their fault. You know that clansmen from the Three Realms have come to the Battle of Geniuses this time, and the relationship between those two realms and our God Realm …. I don't need to explain further, do I? We're only being vigilant for the sake of the bigger picture. "
Unbeknownst to Hu Bazi, the scholarly man's actions were laughable.
He recognized the scholarly man in front of him: Dai Chengren.
Thirty years ago, he'd reached the threshold of the half-step ruler realm. Although he was only a half-step ruler, his comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death was rather special. As a result, he'd leapt to become one of the three vice-deans of the Divine Martial Academy.
Hu Bazi's commotion outside just now wasn't big, but it wasn't small, either. At the very least, Dai Chengren and the other vice-deans had been able to sense it.
However, they hadn't immediately appeared to take care of the problem. Instead, they'd asked the guard captains to look for him, and they'd even put on an act of ignorance.
"Hah …."
Hu Bazi snorted with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. They were all working for the God Emperor's Estate, so he had to give them some face. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Dai Chengren, so he said directly.
"I've heard all of this from your people. I'm asking now, can Young Master Ye go in or not?"
"Of course, we can trust Lord Ba. The people you sent over are naturally exempt from these checks. " Dai Chengren smiled elegantly and frowned at those guards. "You still don't dare to enter? Step aside and let this young master enter."
The guards didn't dare tarry and made way for him. Hu Bazi raised his eyebrows.
"I want to personally send Young Master Ye to his academy's residence. Is that alright?"
"Of course, no problem. But you probably don't know the way, so let me take you there."
"Lead the way."
Dai Chengren smiled, nodded, and led the way. Hu Bazi and Ye Zichen followed him into the academy.
Perhaps they really were wary of the Realm of Monsters and Demons. Within a ten kilometer radius, there would be at least ten teams of Celestial Beings and five teams of Sky Supreme Beings patrolling in the air and on the ground.
"Lord Ba, you've seen it for yourself. We really weren't trying to make things difficult for you."
Dai Chengren couldn't help but smile bitterly. Hu Bazi nodded calmly, his gaze grave.
No wonder the Divine Underworld had summoned most of their diviners a few days ago. So they'd all been sent to the Divine Martial Academy. It seemed that the demons and yao's visit posed a far greater threat to the Divine Capital than he'd imagined.
After walking for a full hour, Dai Chengren, who was leading the way, finally stopped.
"This is Skyspan Academy's assigned residence."
A nine-story building appeared before them. On the sixth floor hung a signboard with the words "Skyspan" engraved on it.
Ye Zichen and Hu Bazi glanced at each other.
"I'm going in."
"Young Master Ye, take care. Here's my contact information. If you run into any problems, feel free to contact me. I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Alright."
After exchanging contact information, Ye Zichen walked straight into the building.
At this moment, Dai Chengren smiled elegantly and asked in a seemingly casual manner.
"This young master looks a bit unfamiliar. Which family's young master is he from? Why did Lord Ba have to personally …."
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Hu Bazi coldly cut him off, put away the jade slip, and flew away from the front of the building without so much as a backward glance.
Dai Chengren also shook his head with an embarrassed smile. Not long after he flew out, two men appeared beside him.
One of them looked relatively young, while the other's hair was already graying.
"Lil 'Dai, how was it?" asked the older man.
"I didn't get anything out of him. Hu Bazi was nervous about that youth. I tried to ask about his identity, but Hu Bazi stopped me. However, Hu Bazi kept calling him 'Young Master Ye'. For him to call him 'Young Master' means that his background isn't ordinary. He's most likely related to Xuan Ji, "said Dai Chengren.
"Which child participating in the Battle of Geniuses has an ordinary background? What we care about is whether or not he really has the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Yao-Sealing Pagoda! "The younger man frowned.
"There's no way to know. The guards at the entrance wanted to search him, but Hu Bazi stopped them," said Dai Chengren.
"That Hu Bazi!" The younger man's eyes clouded over.
"Forget it. Since that's the result, there's no need to force it." The elder sighed. "Now that he's entered the Sky-Piercing Pagoda, and I've heard that he's close with the young ladies of the Sea of Innocence, it'll be even more difficult for us to probe him. As for whether or not he really has the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Yao-Sealing Pagoda, we'll have to wait and see. "
"Besides, we're not really trying to steal those two divine artifacts. We just want to be sure and assign people to protect them. For now, we need to keep an eye on the yao and demons. As for the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and Xuan-Yuan Sword, I'm more worried about them. "
It was obvious that this elder had the highest status among the three of them. After he spoke, Dai Chengren and the younger man nodded slightly.
Then, the old man spoke again.
"Perhaps they also know that the two divine artifacts are in that youth's hands. Since we can't be sure, we might as well pretend that he has them. We have to ensure his safety. We absolutely cannot let those two divine artifacts fall into the hands of the yao and demons. "
"Understood!"
