The sea breeze was strong and the waves were crashing onto the pier.
Fang Yun was the first to step onto the pier under the welcoming of many scholars. Then, the seahorse that was pulling the imperial chariot slowly changed its form to that of an ordinary horse and pulled the imperial chariot onto the shore.
Jing Liren took a closer look at the purple robe of the Great Confucian Scholar that Fang Yun was wearing, and then subconsciously looked at his own purple robe. He smiled and said, "May I know the name of Long Jue of the Literary Star?"
"You don't know me?" Fang Yun blurted out as he looked at the scholar in the Ancient Land of the Ocean Cliff in astonishment. After all, Lei Tingyu had stayed here for several years. Although the Sacred Institute didn't have any records of the Lei Clan entering the Ancient Land of the Ocean Cliff, the information here shouldn't be so limited.
The reason why Fang Yun decided to end this quickly was because he thought that they knew him. If he dragged this on, it would be disadvantageous for him.
The nearby scholars all looked embarrassed.
Jing Liren quickly mediated, "Of course you are famous in the Saint Origin World. However, the Ancient Land of Sea Cliff has been cut off from the outside world for a long time and the permanent passage has not been officially opened. Therefore, we do not know about the scholars who have become famous in recent years."
Fang Yun glanced at the scholars and asked, "Where is Lei Tingyu?"
When everyone heard that Fang Yun called Lei Tingyu by his name, their first thought was that this person was more powerful than Lei Tingyu. Only a few people suspected that the two were not on good terms.
"Mr. Tingyu left early in the morning. I don't know when he will be back." Jing Liren was still smiling.
Fang Yun nodded and smiled, "My name is Ji Zhibai."
Some of the people who had heard of Fang Yun's real name were puzzled but no one said anything.
A few mermaids could guess that Fang Yun was not clear about the attitude of the Alliance of Sea Cliff. Therefore, he used a fake name to test them.
The people of the Alliance of Sea Cliff tried their best to recall but they had never heard of this name. After all, when the Ancient Land of Sea Cliff was opened, Ji Zhibai was only a Juren.
Jing Liren sighed and said, "Even though the Great Confucian scholars have the ability to retain their youthful looks, but even if Mister Ji has taken the divine medicine, you should still be extremely young, definitely not over forty years old. I'm afraid that only Mister Yi Zhishi can be compared to you."
"When I became a great scholar, I was younger than him..." Fang Yun said with a smile although he was ten years younger.
All the scholars present were in awe and they all wanted to curry favor with him.
Even though the Ancient Land of Ocean Cliff was separated from the Saint Origin World, many people who had heard of Yi Zhishi's achievements still admired him. Now, this Ji Zhibai had become a great scholar at a younger age than Yi Zhishi. He could be said to be a future half-step Saint.
"I admire you!" Jing Liren sincerely.
"Mr. Ji Zhibai....
.. the role model of the human race.........
.....
The group of aquatic creatures was dumbfounded. They were here to denounce the Alliance of Seacliff. Why did the Alliance of Seacliff, who had been yelling and yelling, suddenly become so nice? Could they still take their revenge?
Fang Yun just smiled and said politely, "I met Mr. Jing Lixiao in the Sacred Burial Valley. Although we only knew each other for a short time, we had a good chat. I came to the Ancient Land of Sea Cliff because I wanted to talk to Mr. Jing Lixiao about the old days. Where is Mr. Jing Lixiao?"
The Mermaid Empress laughed secretly because Fang Yun had already asked if Jing Lixiao had returned. She replied that Jing Lixiao had died in the Sacred Burial Valley and didn't return to the Ancient Land of Sea Cliff.
Jing Liren let out a long sigh and said, "Third brother went to the Sacred Burial Valley and hasn't returned yet. I'm afraid he has met with misfortune."
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment and then sighed, "Mr. Lixiao is blessed by the heavens. He will definitely return safely."
Everyone knew that Fang Yun was comforting them and they felt warm in their hearts.
Everyone's attitude toward Fang Yun became more respectful because he wasn't an ordinary person since he could enter the Sacred Burial Valley. If he could come back alive and bring back some divine objects that the human race needed, he would become a meritorious official of the human race and his status would soar.
Jing Liren restrained his sadness and became somewhat complacent. Since such a great person was on good terms with Jing Lixiao, the Jing Saint Family would surely rise in status.
"We have already prepared a banquet in the Jing Family's mansion. Mr. Zhibai, would you like to come?" Jing Liren asked.
The expressions of the scholars changed slightly because they had prepared a banquet in the Literature Institute of Haijiang City. It was more formal, but Jing Liren changed it to a banquet in the Jing Family. It was obvious that he wanted to rope in this "Ji Zhibai".
Fang Yun said seriously, "Since we have come here, we must pay our respects to the Divine Temple, especially to the Jing Saint. It won't be too late to go to the Jing Family after the ceremony."
Jing Liren and the other members of the Jing Family were pleased and immediately expressed their support.
Then, Fang Yun led a hundred or so members of the Water Tribe to the Literature Institute of Haijiang City accompanied by the scholars of the Sea Cliff Alliance. The Water Tribe stayed outside while Fang Yun and the other scholars entered the Literature Institute of Haijiang City.
Opposite the Literature Institute was supposed to be a spacious square with the Divine Temple inside. However, the square was surrounded by trees and they couldn't see what was inside. They could only take a detour to the Divine Temple.
Although Fang Yun didn't ask, Jing Liren smiled and said, "Mr. Ji must have known about the Wenqu Star fragment before coming to the Sea Cliff Ancient Land and even guessed where it is. That's right, the Wenqu Star fragment is in the forest. What do you think about the Wenqu Star fragment? "
"Everyone wants it." Fang Yun said.
"Mr. Zhibai is a straightforward person!"
Many scholars laughed. Fang Yun was telling the truth.
"I wonder how Mr. Zhibai will solve the dispute between the two races?" Jing Liren asked.
The others stared at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "These are small matters. We can talk about them after we worship the Saints."
Everyone was relieved. This meant that this "Ji Zhibai" obviously treated himself as a human more than Wen Xing Long Jue. He didn't care about the Mermaid Race.
Jing Liren smiled and his attitude became warmer.
After going around the forest, they soon arrived at the Divine Temple's main entrance.
In Saint Origin World, the Divine Temple was divided into one main hall and two side halls. It was the same here. However, the main hall only worshipped Jing Sheng's statue. The statues and tablets of the Saints were only placed in the side halls.
After Fang Yun saw it clearly, he frowned slightly and stood still on the spot.
The others didn't say anything and waited quietly.
Every person from Saint Origin World had the same reaction when they arrived here. Lei Tingyu was no exception.
Fang Yundao said, "It's only right that I worship the Saints first."
"Mr. Zhibai is from Saint Origin World. It's only right." Jing Liren said to ease the atmosphere.
Fang Yun first went to the side hall to worship the Saints.
Like most Divine Temples, there were only statues of Confucius and Second Saints. The rest were tablets with only their names written on them.
Looking at these tablets, Fang Yun's face flashed with surprise.
Then, Fang Yun followed the usual etiquette to worship the Saints. After that, he went to the main hall to worship Jing Sheng's statue.
