Fang Yun pondered for a moment. The Zong Clan and Lei Clan were too powerful, and he couldn't let his guard down. As long as one of the Pavilion Elders in the Hall of Rites objected, things would develop in an unpredictable direction.
Fang Yun asked as he walked, "What did the other elders say?"
Wu Jiu said, "Brother Yun Luo thinks that the Zong and Lei families had bad intentions first. They are evil people, so it's not against etiquette to bump into them. The other elders didn't say much, but they said that this matter should be reduced to a small matter. "
"Mr. Yun Luo is really righteous." Fang Yun knew that Yun Luo was a person with a strong sense of righteousness and had a high prestige in Yun Country.
The Notre-Dame wasn't small, so the group walked for a quarter of an hour before arriving at the entrance of the Hall of Rites.
The Hall of Rites' elder led Fang Yun through the entrance of the Hall of Rites. They walked through the square and arrived at the main hall.
Fang Yun glanced at the Hall of Rites. It was tall and spacious. It was built with huge stones and columns. It was simple and majestic. People were as small as ants under the Hall of Rites.
In the deepest part of the Hall of Rites sat five great scholars in purple robes. They wore high crowns and broad belts, and their faces were solemn.
Before entering the Hall of Rites, Wu Jiu also put on his crown.
There were three steps under the feet of the five great scholars. Two of them stood at the bottom of the steps, and on both sides stood many people from the Hall of Rites.
The two people standing at the bottom of the steps were old men.
One of them wore a green scholar's uniform and turned to look at Fang Yun. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, and he didn't hide his coldness.
The old man next to him wore a purple robe. His face was full of age spots. He squinted his eyes and drooped his head. Before Fang Yun came in, he seemed to have fallen asleep. When Fang Yun approached the main entrance, he slowly turned his head to look at him. His eyes were still squinted, and he looked half-dead.
The five Confucians of the Etiquette Hall stood up and bowed, "Welcome, Master Fang Xu."
Fang Yun immediately returned the greeting, "Greetings to the elders."
A moment later, the two people at the bottom of the steps bowed to Fang Yun. The great scholar bowed lazily. His movements were slow, but he was well-behaved. No one could find any fault with him.
"Zong Ganyu greets Fang Xusheng."
Fang Yun cupped his hands in greeting and said nothing. He looked deeply at Zong Ganyu.
He was the son of Saint Zong and the head of the Zong family. His name originated from the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lu family. He was highly regarded by Saint Zong and was also one of the strongest Confucian scholars in the School of Miscellany. Not only was he proficient in the Miscellany Divine Path, he had even cultivated the seal of the School of Zongheng to the level of the Six Nations. It was said that his strongest battle achievement was when he encountered two great demon monarchs alone. He used the Unhindered Art to complement his miscellaneous strength. He wanted the two demon monarchs to kill each other.
The Grand Scholar quickly bowed and said impatiently, "Lei Ao greets Fang Xusheng."
Fang Yun knew that Lei Ao was the new Patriarch. He was ambitious and had a bad temper. However, he was loyal and devoted to the Lei family. Therefore, he was pushed by the scholars of the Lei family to be the puppet Patriarch.
Fang Yun cupped his hands and said, "You are … the third family head?"
Lei Ao's face turned red because of Fang Yun's words. He wanted to retaliate loudly, but in the end, he didn't. They were in the Hall of Propriety and Xusheng had a high status. If he wasn't careful, he would end up making a fool of himself.
Some scholars in the Hall of Propriety secretly laughed. There were already two Lei family heads who had to give way because of Fang Yun. Lei Ao was naturally the third family head.
Wu Jiu walked to the deepest part of the Hall of Propriety. He stood together with the other five elders of the Hall of Propriety.
"Everyone, please take a seat," said Yun Luo, the great scholar among the six elders.
Fang Yun was the first to sit down, followed by the six elders of the Hall of Propriety. Zong Ganyu and Lei Ao were the last to sit down.
Zong Ganyu looked sleepy, but Lei Ao was full of energy.
The great scholar Yun Luo looked at Fang Yun and said, "First of all, congratulations to Fang Xusheng for being the head of the Ten Nations. We'll stop being polite. Fang Xusheng is here to mediate the matter of the collision. "
Zong Ganyu raised his head slightly, squinted, and said slowly, "Old Man feels that it should be a violation of etiquette in the Academy."
Lei Ao immediately said, "Mr. Ganyu is right."
"It's okay," Yun Luo said. "The Zong Family Head and the Lei family Head have determined that you have violated the rules of the Academy. As Xusheng, you should be punished for failing to set an example. Not only should you be punished, but you should also be imprisoned for a year. What do you think? "
Fang Yun's gaze turned cold as he glanced at Zong Ganyu and Lei Ao. He even suspected that the Zong and Lei families were in cahoots with the Dragons. The Dragons forced him to enter the Bloodlight Ancient Land while the Zong and Lei families forced him to be imprisoned. If he couldn't enter the Bloodlight Ancient Land, he would naturally be deprived of his Wen Xing Long Jue. If he wanted to enter, he would probably have to pay a huge price.
Fang Yun said slowly, "At that time, I was indeed too reckless and made a huge mistake. Every time I think about it, I feel extremely regretful. My opinion is that if I could start over again, I would make up for my mistake … "
Zong Ganyu's eyes widened while Lei Ao was shocked. Even the two elders were curious.
"… I would have directly sunk them by the sea," Fang Yun said seriously.
"You!" Lei Ao's expression changed.
Zong Ganyu continued to squint.
The few youngsters in the Hall of Rites almost laughed out loud. Fang Yun was completely toying with the two Family Heads. As expected of Fang Wenba, he didn't even put the two Family Heads in his eyes.
The six elders of the Hall of Rites had a slight change in expression. The corners of their mouths curled up slightly before they quickly became serious again.
Lei Ao said angrily, "Elders, you have seen it. This Fang Yun is stubborn and refuses to change. Not only did he humiliate the position of Xusheng, he is also looking down on the Hall of Rites!"
Wu Jiu couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say he is looking down on the Hall of Rites?"
"What he said just now was just toying with the six elders!" Lei Ao said confidently.
The six elders looked at Lei Ao strangely. Wu Jiu said slowly, "Lei family head, you have misunderstood."
"How can this be a misunderstanding?" Lei Ao said.
"He is just toying with you!" Wu Jiu added helplessly with a 'I don't want to say that you forced me' look.
Lei Ao's face suddenly turned red like a pig's liver.
The youngsters in the Hall of Rites lowered their heads and laughed. After entering the Hall of Rites for so long, this was the first time they saw such a different kind of interrogation.
Yun Luo asked, "Fang Xusheng, why did you violate the rules of the Sea of Knowledge and crash into them?"
Fang Yundao said, "I dared to agree to the Sea of Knowledge Race. Even if I lost, I would still abide by the rules. However, I never thought that the Zong and Lei families would be so despicable. Before I entered the Sea of Knowledge, they actually joined hands to plot against me. They arranged for the two spies that the Zong family planted in Wu Guo, the Zither and Go duo, to pretend to help me and then get close to me. In the end, they suddenly attacked me. Fortunately, I composed that poem, 'There will be a time when the wind and waves will break, the sail that hangs straight above the sea'. When I composed this poem, I had a deep sense of grief and indignation. I clearly wanted to study for the rise of the human race, but I 'drew my sword and looked around with a blank heart'. I lamented the difficulty of the Divine Path, and the obstructions of the rascals … "
Fang Yun began to analyze his grief and indignation at that time. Every word was emotional, every sentence was angry, and he secretly praised and criticized.
The six elders were indifferent, but the emotions of the other scholars in the Hall of Rites rose and fell along with Fang Yun's words.
"Stop! The elders want you to answer why you were so crazy as to crash into my sect's Thunder Fleet. It has nothing to do with the poem! "Lei Ao hurriedly stopped him.
Fang Yun was stunned. He sighed softly and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Lei family head. Otherwise, I would not have been able to extricate myself from my anger. When the Brute Race was invading the South and the Demon Realm was deploying their troops at the foot of Two World Mountain, how despicable were these few people that they would sacrifice two Great Scholars and even two future Great Scholars to gather intelligence on their allies? And how much did they hate the human race that they would crash into Xusheng's ship and sink it? "
