A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
The entire Notre-Dame seemed to have been struck by the Half-saint's Seal of Silence, unable to say a single word.
Everyone thought that the West Sea Dragon Sage was ruthless enough to list Fang Yun as an enemy of the West Sea Dragon Palace. However, the East Sea Dragon Palace was even more ruthless. They actually cut ties with the descendants of the Thunder Ancestor and even wanted to investigate the Lei family thoroughly.
Many scholars looked at Lei Tingzhen and the rest of the Lei family in astonishment. They all revealed suspicious expressions, wondering what exactly happened between the Lei family and the Dragons.
Lei Tingzhen and the Lei family were dumbstruck. A few of the Lei family's youngsters were even scared silly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Ever since the Lei family was established, they had considered themselves as the benefactors of the Dragons. As the Dragons respected them, they had long thought of being on equal footing with the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas. However, now that the East Sea Dragon Palace announced that they were cutting ties with the Lei family, this news was no different from a bolt from the blue.
Once all the Dragons cut ties with the Lei family, everything that happened before would no longer exist. Without the support of the Dragons, the Lei family would be an ordinary wealthy family and would decline in less than a hundred years.
Gao Mo nodded and looked at Zong Ganyu. He asked, "Since the East Sea Dragon Sage has issued an edict, according to what you said earlier, can the Notre-Dame deny that the Lei family is sinners?"
"There is a contradiction between the edicts of the two sages. We need to consider this at length!" Zong Ganyu could no longer remain calm. This had never happened before in the history of the human race.
Lei Tingzhen's gaze was a little dull. He originally thought that with the West Sea Dragon Sage's edict, he could join forces with the Zong family to take revenge. Even if Fang Yun did not die, he would lose a layer of skin. Who knew that before Fang Yun even appeared, Gao Mo would stop him first. Then, the East Sea Dragon Sage issued an edict, completely disrupting the previous plan.
Gao Mo turned and left. As he walked, he said, "Lei Zhong Mo's death is confusing. We can only investigate after the Notre-Dame's Palace has reached a consensus. In addition, the re-selection of the Four Great Scholars is about to begin. Although the Old Man does not have the right to select, he has the right to recommend. The Old Man recommends Fang Yun and Fang Xusheng! "
"Even if the Old Man dies, he won't let Lei Zhongmo's murderer become the leader of the Four Great Talents!" Lei Zhongmo said angrily.
The voice of the Medical Hall's Old Man Cang Xiang suddenly rang out, "Then your Lei family should send more people to quickly find the next person that Old Man Cang Xiang owes a favor to."
Everyone in the Notre-Dame Square roared with laughter. News of what had happened in the Notre-Dame Courtyard had already spread throughout the Notre-Dame Square. The Lei family's despicable methods were known to all.
"If Fang Xusheng is chosen as the leader of the Four Great Talents, the Old Man will definitely have no objections." A Great Scholar left after he finished speaking.
Everyone looked over and discovered that this Great Scholar was one of the nine Great Scholars of the Ying Courtyard. Originally, he was also against Lei Zhongmo being chosen as the leader of the Four Great Talents, but he suddenly agreed a year ago. It was obvious that he changed his mind because of the pressure from the Zong and Lei families. Now that this Great Scholar had said it in front of everyone, he had already made his intentions clear and cut off the Zong and Lei families' thoughts of roping him in or suppressing him.
"This is called trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it! This is called the reincarnation of the heavens! If the Lei family didn't use these despicable methods, then there wouldn't be such a matter. "Liu Bailuo sneered.
Everyone in the Lei family flew into a rage. Although Liu Bailuo didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that he was saying that if the Lei family wasn't too despicable, Lei Zhongmo might not have died. However, since Liu Bailuo didn't say it clearly, the Lei family couldn't sue Liu Bailuo for disobeying etiquette.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see. Let's wait for the next Four Great Talents selection." An old Han Lin shook his head with a smile and turned to leave.
"Why do I feel that the Four Great Talents selection this time will drag on even longer than before?"
"From what I see, the Zong and Lei families won't give up unless they drag it on for a dozen years until Fang Xusheng becomes a Great Scholar."
"Unfortunately, although Fang Xusheng doesn't care about these empty titles, once he becomes one of the Four Great Talents, the Notre-Dame will reward him with a chance to read the Half-saint's true text while he is a scholar. At that time, he will have the protection of the Notre-Dame's power. This opportunity is too precious, and it is also the key to why the Four Great Talents were able to become Great Scholars. Even Fang Xusheng couldn't read the Half-saint's true text before he became a Great Scholar. This is because if he didn't become a Great Scholar and wasn't a descendant of the Saints, he wouldn't be able to withstand the powerful will of the Half-saint's true text. "
"Indeed. Although Fang Xusheng would definitely become a Great Scholar, if he didn't read the Half-saint's true text while he was a Great Scholar, he would probably waste a lot of time as a Great Scholar, and might even be covered in dust. "
"It is because the opportunity to read the Half-saint's true text is very precious that many descendants of the Saints deliberately gave up on being one of the Four Great Talents, giving the descendants of the non-aristocratic families a chance."
"Previously, there were a few Great Scholars who deliberately didn't agree with Lei Zhongmo being the head of the Four Great Talents. They wanted to drag it out until he became a Great Scholar and lost this opportunity."
"Sigh."
Many scholars shook their heads and sighed.
Lei Tingzhen was stunned, and his expression changed. Zong Ganyu fell into deep thought.
When most of the scholars in the square left, Zong Ganyu suddenly transmitted a message to Lei Tingzhen.
"Tingzhen, we have been thinking of ways to force Fang Yun to compete with Zhang Longxiang. We have considered all kinds of methods before, and none of them were suitable. However, this Four Great Talents selection might be a blessing in disguise. "Zong Ganyu said.
"Oh? What advice does Brother Zong have? "Lei Tingzhen immediately adjusted his mood.
"In this Four Great Talents selection, Fang Yun will definitely be one of them. Otherwise, if we were forced to ask for the Saints' judgment, we would suffer a crushing defeat."
"Indeed, unless the Saints gave the order, if Fang Yun is unable to be selected as one of the Four Great Talents, all the scholars in the world would definitely surround the Notre-Dame."
"Therefore, since we are unable to stop Fang Yun, we will recommend Zhang Longxiang as one of the Four Great Talents. At the same time, we will support Zhang Longxiang as the head of the Four Great Talents!"
Lei Tingzhen was stunned, and a flash of joy appeared on his face. He immediately continued to transmit a message: "I have woken up from my dream! As long as the two of them are in a deadlock, we can have Zhang Longxiang announce on the rankings that he will compete with Fang Yun in a literary competition to determine who the head of the Four Great Talents belongs to. If Fang Yun does not agree, then we can justifiably say that Fang Yun is afraid. Not only can we make Zhang Longxiang the head of the Four Great Talents, we can also suppress Fang Yun's Literary Name. If Fang Yun agrees to the literary competition, then we can use the methods we have prepared for many days! Brother Zong is indeed the head of an aristocratic family. Old Man is ashamed of his inferiority. "
"It is not that you did not think of this, but that you are too immersed in grief. Furthermore, this is only the first plan! "Zong Ganyu smiled.
"I am all ears." Lei Tingzhen hurriedly said.
"Mount Liu has already contacted Old Man. Fang Yun will definitely go to Xiangzhou. It is very likely that he will become the governor of the two provinces and will be stationed in Xiangzhou's capital, Baling. Our Gyeongo has been secretly instigating the officials and scholars of Xiangzhou. As long as Fang Yun arrives in Xiangzhou, we will definitely taint his Literary Name. Then, we will cooperate and let Zhang Longxiang win the literary competition and become the head of the Four Great Talents. His state of mind will definitely be affected. On the day of the literary competition, we will have a few people die in Xiangzhou. Then, we will incite the scholars of Xiangzhou to besiege the governor's office. Then, we will create a bloody incident where Fang Yun's private soldiers kill the scholars. Fang Yun will definitely be heavily injured! "
"Wonderful! Wonderful! "Lei Tingzhen was even more delighted.
"However, Old Man still has at least two vicious plans to use on the day of the literary competition! He will definitely defeat Fang Yun's Literary Name! "
"Oh? What other vicious plans do he have? "
"You will know on the day of the literary competition!"
