"What Shi Tang said makes sense. Others may not know, but those of us who know the inside story are the clearest. The human race has been growing, but we can't compare to the demon race. After all, the demon race is vast and boundless, and those demons and barbarians can reproduce faster than insects. The Dragons are the last ally of the human race. Once something happens and the Dragons give up, the Two World Mountain will fall. At that time, the human race will be in danger. "
"The Dragons are allies, not the human race. Once the demon race goes all out and threatens the Dragons' survival, the Dragons may not help the human race. Therefore, the human race needs the power to defeat the demons and barbarians. When the demon race attacked the Two World Mountain, they only sent one Great Sage, which is equivalent to the human race's Secondary Sage. The other Great Sages didn't show up. It was said that they were tied up by more important matters and couldn't attack the human world. When I heard the news, I was not happy but worried. "Kong De Lun said.
Li Fanming said, "Yes, to the demons and barbarians, what's more important than destroying the human race? Once those Great Sages finish their task and attack the Two World Mountain, the Dragons may not be willing to stop them. Just thinking about it makes me shudder! "
Fang Yun remembered the demon race's ancient records he read in the demon race's ancestral hall. There were many records of the demons and barbarians. Although there were only a few words about the Great Sages, every word was shocking.
"Therefore, the human race has to work harder! It's a pity that ever since Kong Sheng passed away, there hasn't been a single person who can lead the hundred schools. Everyone has different ideas, so it's hard to achieve perfect harmony. I'm not blaming the internal strife. After all, this kind of conflict is also helping the human race grow. It can only be said that it's helpless, but it's better than the demon race. The demon race has been fighting non-stop. This year, the Demon Emperor attacked the Two World Mountain. In the end, the Demon Emperor could only let three Demon Sages guard the Two World Mountain. "Sun Naiyong said.
"We're just High Scholars. Why are we talking about such distant matters? Come, let's continue talking about the Holy Ground Anthology. Let's promote our Literary Name. "
Thus, everyone began to write down the poems that they had written in the Mid-Autumn Festival Literary Meet and the Holy Ground. Then, each of them chose a few of their favorite works and commented on them to prepare for future anthologies.
In the beginning, everyone was talking about their own things, but as they chatted, everyone began to discuss Fang Yun's poems. As those poems were too outstanding, once someone started talking about them, no one else had the mood to appreciate other poems.
The sun was setting. The High Scholars in the main hall did not seem tired at all. They continued to talk about poetry and the atmosphere was very lively. It was like a private gathering.
Fang Yun occasionally glanced at the door. Li Wenying had said yesterday that he would take him to Notre-Dame today, but he still hadn't returned. Could something have happened?
While everyone was discussing, Kong De Lun smiled and said, "Good news, great news!"
Fang Yun noticed that Kong Delun was looking at him. She also looked at him curiously.
"The Xun family has already announced that Xun Ye did not control his heart in the Holy Ground and made a huge mistake. The Saints will not pursue the matter. However, the Xun family will not tolerate such a disciple and will send him to the Ten Cold Ancient Land, never to leave. "
"I can rest assured then. I was afraid that the Xun family would refuse to admit their guilt. In the end, they would do something desperate. "
"After all, the Xun family is a Secondary Saint family. Even if they treat him with respect, they won't go too far."
Mo Shan humphed softly. She said, "Send him to the Ten Cold Ancient Land? Why not go to the Sea of Purgatory? The Sea of Purgatory is a real land of death. There's almost nothing there. If he goes to the Ten Cold Ancient Land, he'll probably be more comfortable than in the Ten Nations. He can definitely live a life of wealth. Besides, there's also a Sacred Temple in the Ten Cold Ancient Land. He can also participate in the imperial examinations. "
"After all, he's a disciple of a Secondary Saint family. After going to the Ten Cold Ancient Land, no matter how powerful Xun Ye is, he will only be promoted and lose his future in the Notre-Dame."
"That's because you don't understand the Ten Cold Ancient Land. It's actually more carefree there than in Saint Origin World," said Mo Shan.
"What can we do then? Punishing him is better than not punishing him. Since the Xun family has punished Xun Ye, Fang Yun will be safe. "
Most of them were very happy, but a few lowered their heads and pondered. No one knew what they were thinking.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Li Wenying pushed the door open and entered. The noisy main hall quickly quieted down.
Fang Yun looked at Li Wenying and saw that his expression was normal. At first glance, he couldn't see any emotion. However, if one looked closely, they would find that Li Wenying's eyes were a little gloomy.
"Grand Secretary Li!"
"Duke Jian Mei!"
Everyone greeted him.
Li Wenying nodded and said, "Fang Yun, come to my study. I have something to discuss with you." After saying that, he went to the study.
Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat. Then, he suppressed it and calmly walked into Li Wenying's study.
The scholars present were puzzled.
"Something seems to be wrong."
"Don't make wild guesses. Maybe it's Duke Jian Mei's personal matter."
"Then you don't know Duke Jian Mei's character. If it's a personal matter, he will hide it very well. It's obviously something else."
"Let's wait here. There shouldn't be too much of a problem."
"Hmph, the Demon Realm lost a Barbarian Sage. They will not let this matter rest. The Barbarian Sages are busy. Maybe someone will take the opportunity to stir up trouble!"
In the study.
Li Wenying's back was facing Fang Yun. He raised his head slightly and looked at the words hanging on the wall. There was only one word on it: "Ren".
"Sigh …" Not long after, Li Wenying sighed softly and turned around. His eyes were filled with fatigue and helplessness. It was only at this moment that Fang Yun realized that Li Wenying was not young. Usually, he only thought of him as a man in his thirties.
"Duke Jian Mei, why are you sighing?" Fang Yun asked.
"I did not bring the protection token back." Li Wenying said.
Fang Yundao said, "That means, I cannot enter Notre-Dame to seek refuge?"
"Yes."
Fang Yun took a deep breath and suppressed his negative emotions. He said, "Sir, please tell me the reason. Who is this bully?"
Li Wenying said, "Do you know that the four branches of the Xun family are fighting?"
"I know a little. Logically speaking, the eldest son of Old Master Xun should inherit the position of the head of the family, but the Ten Nations are particular about merit. The eldest son of the Xun family is only in the Hanlin Academy while the other three are scholars. Hence, the three of them also want to compete for the position of the head of the family. The eldest son of the Xun family is honest and honest. He is not as talented as his three younger brothers and can't suppress the three of them. Hence, the competition in the Xun family is getting more and more intense. "
"The fourth son of the Xun family has withdrawn," Li Wenying said.
"If I remember correctly, the fourth son of the Xun family is Xun Ye's father," Fang Yundao said.
"Yes."
"Could this matter be related to Xun Ye?"
Li Wenying said slowly, "Xun Ye ignored his comrades and lived an ignoble life. Even in the Holy Ground, he has violated a huge taboo and affected his father."
"That's not right. The Saints all said that they won't pursue what happened in the Holy Ground. Why are the Xun family members concerned?" Fang Yun asked.
Li Wenying said, "Silly! Do you think the Saints are so stupid that they don't care about what happened in the Holy Ground? Although the Saints have never said anything, and even their direct descendants may not know about it, I've done a thorough investigation. Anyone who has committed a huge crime in the Holy Ground, such as not helping others or killing others for treasures, will eventually be sent to various places no matter how talented they are. Other than a few who have made great contributions to the human race and turned over a new leaf, the rest have disappeared without a trace and have never appeared in official history. Why don't you guess? "
"I understand now. After leaving the Holy Ground, the Saints won't punish them, but they will block their path to sainthood. The reason why they said that the Holy Ground won't pursue responsibility is nothing more than a literal trap. Only in a lawless place like the Holy Ground can a person be truly tested. However, the Saints can't take care of everything. They can only judge based on other High Scholars' experiences in the Holy Ground, right? "Fang Yun asked.
Li Wenying said, "What do you think the Legalists are for? When you left the Holy Ground, you were already inspected by the Half-saint Wen Bao of the Legalists. Whether or not you killed the innocent, whether or not you killed someone with evil intentions, you can't hide it from the Half-saint Wen Bao. Tomorrow, you will be asked to write about your experiences in the Holy Ground and hand it to the Notre-Dame to verify its authenticity. Combined with the Legalists' Wen Bao, the Saints will be able to determine who is the villain. "
Fang Yun couldn't help but nod. Although the Half-saint Wen Bao of the Legalists couldn't clearly point out whether or not someone had killed someone, and couldn't 'convict' them, it was enough that he could 'distinguish between evil and evil'. Moreover, those who left the Holy Ground were all scholars, High Scholars, or Scholars. No matter how good they were, they couldn't hide from the Half-saint Wen Bao.
"This is your guess, right?"
"Although it's just a guess, I'm ninety percent sure," Li Wenying said.
"As expected of the Duke of Sword-Eyebrows." Fang Yun vaguely understood that Li Wenying had already touched the edge of the 'Path of Sincerity'. The Doctrine of the Mean said that 'the Path of Sincerity can foresee the future'. It was an extremely high realm.
Li Wenying continued, "The fourth son of the Xun family has a slim chance of becoming the family head, so he voluntarily withdrew from the competition. However, he raised two conditions to his three brothers."
Fang Yun listened attentively.
"The first condition is that their entire family moves into the Ten Cold Ancient Land, and the family head can't interfere in the future. The second condition is to prevent you from becoming a Notre-Dame! "
After Li Wenying finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun was silent. Then, he said, "The fourth son of the Xun family is only so-so. He actually vented his anger on me because he couldn't become the family head. This method is also in line with the status of a quasi-saint family. It's equivalent to saying that the Xun family is wrong, but an outsider has no right to shatter the Xun family's literary courage! Status is status, talent is talent. It seems that the Xun family is very clear about this. A humble disciple shattering the literary courage of a quasi-saint family's disciple is an act of insubordination. Am I right? "
"Of course," Li Wenying said.
"What reason does the Xun family have to stop me from becoming a Notre-Dame?"
"You may have hurt Xun Ye for selfish reasons. After the investigation is done, you can become a Notre-Dame. A quasi-saint family has the right to do so, "Li Wenying said.
Fang Yun suddenly revealed a faint mocking expression. "Isn't this groundless?"
"Groundless? Sigh, it is indeed groundless. "Li Wenying felt that Fang Yun's expression was a little strange.
Groundless meant that it was an excuse used by Qin Hui and Song Gaozong in the other world to kill Yue Fei. Fang Yun didn't expect that Yue Fei, who didn't have Qin Hui in Saint Origin World, would appear.
"What did the people of the Notre-Dame say?" Fang Yun asked.
