Anyone who wanted to touch someone Ying Zijin wanted to protect would have to see if they had the ability.

On the other side, in the Sage Courtyard.
Sha Luo had a dignified expression. "Has all the news been released?"
The manager wiped his sweat. "Yes, it's all been released. It has indeed caused public anger on the Wnet, but some people …"
He hesitated but didn't continue.
Because the New Year's Ceremony had been completely ruined by Fu Yunshen, the Sage Empress' image in the eyes of the residents was no longer the same as before.
"Don't worry about those people." Sha Luo said indifferently, "Go order a few knights to pretend to be people from the Academy of Engineering and cause trouble in the city. Those brainless people will naturally believe it."
She couldn't directly make a move against Ying Zijin, but couldn't she make a move against those old fogeys from the Academy of Engineering?
In her eyes, these ordinary people were like fish that could be slaughtered at will.
The responsibility of a Sage?
She didn't care. She just wanted power.
When Sha Luo thought of what had happened at the New Year's Ceremony, she still couldn't suppress her anger.
A mortal with a mortal body was worthy of a proud Sage Demon bowing his noble body.
This was simply a humiliation to all Sages.
The manager replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Sha Luo stood up and went to find the Priestess.
"Find the new Wheel of Fortune as soon as possible." Sha Luo said coldly. "We have to make it stand on our side."
The Priestess sighed and smiled bitterly. "Sha Luo, you overestimate me. Who in this world has better divination abilities than the Wheel of Fortune?"
"Now that we don't even have an astrolabe, how can we find him?"
Sha Luo frowned.
That's right.
In terms of concealment abilities, the Wheel of Fortune was even stronger than the Hermit.
The Priestess hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sha Luo, did the Devil really not harm a single person in the Holy War?"
"Is that important?" Sha Luo sneered. "The truth is that he caused the Holy War and destroyed half of the Sage Courtyard. Was that also something I made up?"
"If you want to stand on that side, it's up to you."
She no longer paid any attention to the Priestess and left the Sage Courtyard.

Research Institute.
Ever since Dean Norman had been taken away by Sha Luo's people, Cheng Yuan had been stationed here with the Ancient Warriors.
He felt that this was a wonderful place.
There were also robots serving him tea and water, chatting and playing cards with him.
Cheng Yuan waved his hand, and a majestic internal energy shot out, blasting away the knights that Salo had sent to the Academy of Engineering.
He didn't even need to stand up. It was as easy as pie.
"Alright, it's done." Cheng Yuan clapped his hands and continued eating melon seeds. "Don't be afraid. I will definitely abide by Grandmaster's orders and protect you well."
Looking at the stocky Martial Alliance's Alliance Leader, the Scholars were speechless.
They were even more frightened.
He only wanted Dean Norman, the fat guy, to block the firepower in front.
"Cheng Yuan."
A clear and indifferent voice sounded.
The girl was still wearing casual clothes and a sunhat.
It was very ordinary.
"Grandmaster!" Cheng Yuan immediately straightened his body. "Reporting to grandmaster, everything is normal."
"Those knights have been driven out by us. As per your order, we didn't hurt any innocent people."
The strength of the four knight regiments was indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.
But no matter how strong they were, they were no match for the Sages.
They were just selling their lives.
Ying Zijin nodded and smiled. "Well done."
Cheng Yuan was flattered. "Grandmaster, you're too polite!"
He rubbed his hands. "Then, can grandmaster reward me with a …"
Before he could finish speaking, Ying Zijin threw a USB drive over. "It's all in there. Whether you can learn it or not depends on yourself."
Cheng Yuan was overjoyed. "Thank you, grandmaster. Thank you, grandmaster. I'll sell Cheng Jin when I get back!"
Ying Zijin was speechless.
There was no need for that.
"There's one more thing I need you to do." Ying Zijin said, "Bring all the Scholars, mentors, and students out of the city and arrange suitable accommodations for them."
Cheng Yuan's expression turned solemn. "Yes, grandmaster!"
Ying Zijin nodded at the Scholars. "Seniors, my teacher has already left the city and is currently researching the space carrier project. Are you willing to come along?"
The Scholars were all tempted.
The Academy of Engineering had always been a place of controversy. Over the years, many researchers had been secretly executed.
They hadn't left because of the strict rules of the Sage Institute and because they were willing to take the risk.
One of the old Scholars hesitated and said, "Miss Ying, but the Sage Institute …"
"Don't worry about the Sage Institute." Ying Zijin's expression was calm. "As long as you trust me, I'll take care of the rest. “
Before the Scholars could agree, voices rang out.
It was the mentors and students who had rushed over.
Ye Siqing's expression was solemn. "Yingshen, we'll go with you!"
"Yes, let's all go. We don't have to stay in this city anymore!"
"The Sage Institute doesn't need us. Do you really think we care?"
The news on the Wnet made all the mentors and students' hearts turn cold.
They had contributed a lot to the development of technology, but in the end, they were going to be killed by the Sage Institute.
Why?
"Okay." Ying Zijin's gaze softened. "Everyone, go. I will use my life to protect you."
The Academy of Engineering was in a desperate situation. The other institutes didn't dare to move.
Especially the Biology Institute. They were watching the show from the sidelines.
A student sighed. "Ying Zijin is so daring. She's taking everyone away in public. Isn't this a slap to the Sage Institute's face?"
"Yes." Lan En smiled. "With her ability, even if she marries the demon lord, she won't be able to protect everyone."
"Isn't that so?" The student shrugged. "Unless she's also a Sage."
But was that possible?
Tens of thousands of people came out of the institute, alarming the residents along the two streets.
The Wnet exploded again.
[Live report! The Academy of Engineering has chosen to go on strike. They're leaving.]
[F * ck! Yingshen is so bold! She took them away directly.]
[Haha, what kind of boldness is that? Isn't she just relying on men? If not for the Sage Demon, do you think she would have the guts?]
The commotion was huge, but no one dared to stop them.
Ying Zijin led the people from the Academy of Engineering to the city gate.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The knights guarding the door drew their swords and stood in front of them, blocking the door.
"The Empress has ordered that no one is allowed to pass through here!"
The old scholar's expression changed. "Miss Ying, there's no need to …"
Ying Zijin looked up and said lightly, "Go back."
Boom!
Immediately, a domineering pressure came crashing down.
The knights' backs went soft, and their legs bent uncontrollably. They knelt on the ground.
Thousands of knights knelt down.
The scene was huge.
Instantly, everyone was shocked.
The old academician was speechless. "…"
Ye Siqing was also shocked, but she was curious. "Are they so easily frightened?"
Cheng Yuan said proudly, "Of course. Look at who scared them."
Ye Siqing and the others didn't know, but the knights felt it deeply.
This kind of pressure was unique to Sages.
It couldn't be replicated at all.
The knight commander broke out in cold sweat, and his voice trembled. "Greetings, Sage Lord!"
The other knights also said in unison, "Greetings, Sage Lord!"
But which Sage was this?!
With such an aura, could it be the Sage Lord's judgment?
This time, Cheng Yuan was also shocked. He opened his mouth wide. "Sh-Sh-Grandmaster?"
What did he hear?
He was deaf!
The scholars behind were also dumbfounded.
How did Norman's precious disciple become a Sage all of a sudden?
The old scholar took out a tissue and wiped his sweat. "Oh my god …"
"Let's go." Ying Zijin didn't look at the knights kneeling on the ground. She turned her head. "There will be people outside to receive you."
The academicians were still in a daze as they raised their legs.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout.
"Let's see who dares to leave!"
Boom!
The sound of the scepter hitting the ground was deafening.
Cheng Yuan's expression tensed up, and he stood in front of the scholars.
Sara's face was pale. "Ying Zijin, don't go too far!"
Ying Zijin protected whoever she targeted. Was she deliberately going against her?
Everyone on Wnet was laughing at her.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Ying Zijin was so bold to move the entire Academy of Engineering away.
"There is evidence that the Academy of Engineering made large heavy weapons!" Sara took a deep breath, and her gaze was sharp. "I should punish them! I didn't make such a rule alone. "
"Bullsh * t!" The old scholar was furious. "You're the narrow-minded one!"
"I really don't have time to argue with you now. I still have to find the Wheel of Fortune." Sara didn't look at him. She just looked at the girl. "The students and mentors can leave, but these scholars must stay!"
If they really left the World City, wouldn't the Seven Continents and Four Oceans be turned upside down?
"Is that so." Ying Zijin slowly turned her head and smiled. "I'm standing right here. Where are you going to find me?"
