After the final exam of the school, Ye Dingzhi and Baili Dongjun were taken back to the villa by Lei Mengsha to rest.

Lei Mengsha also told Xiao Ruofeng about Ye Dingzhi's matter.

Zi Yuji and Mo Qixuan, who were rescued by Zhuge Wucai and escaped with their lives, received orders from Wuxiangshi that night.

He ordered the two of them to reveal the secret of Ye Dingzhi's life experience to the Beili royal family.

Thus, the news that Ye Dingzhi was the only son of the traitorous general Ye Yu spread throughout the Tianqi Palace overnight!

……

In the imperial palace, inside the Tai'an Hall.

Emperor Tai'an Xiao Chongjing, with a gloomy face, glanced at the memorial in his hand and threw it to the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The dragon's health is more important!"

The eunuch Zhuoqing, who was standing respectfully by the side, hurriedly picked up the memorial that Xiao Chongjing had thrown on the ground.

"Didn't King Qing tell me solemnly that this mission was done perfectly? How come Ye Dingzhi suddenly appeared now?"

Zhuo Qing gently placed the memorial he had picked up on the imperial desk in front of Emperor Tai'an, and said in a low voice with his eyebrows lowered:

"Your Highness Qing Wang cannot be blamed for this. I'm afraid he was rescued by someone in the martial arts world. The news we got from the Shadow Sect is that it was the number one master of the Southern Art, the Sword Immortal Yu Shengmo!"

After hearing the name "Yu Sheng Mo", Xiao Chongjing's expression became even uglier. He stood up and said:

"These wanderers are so proud of their martial arts that they look down upon the world. They really don't take me, the king, seriously! That Li Changsheng is even more outrageous. He actually dared to accept Ye Yun, a remnant, as his disciple at the foot of the imperial city?"

"Zhuoqing! Why is there no news about Feng'er's sworn brother, the Wen family member, recently? Where is he now?"

Zhuo Qing stood beside Xiao Chongjing, bowing his head. Hearing this, he quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, Li Changming appointed Wen Yanzhao as the chief examiner for the final exam of the academy. On the night of the final exam, he killed two emissaries of the Northern Territory Demon Cult... Now according to the report from the Shadow Sect, I'm afraid he has already reached the Half-Step Divine Wandering Realm!"

When Xiao Chongjing heard that Wen Yanzhao had killed the people from the Northern Demon Cult, his brows finally relaxed a little.

He sat back at the imperial desk and asked:

"Oh? Is that true? Why didn't you report it to me?"

Zhuoqing bowed slightly:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was indeed negligent in this matter. At that time, I was only concerned with reporting that the Ye family's wicked son was accepted as Li Changsheng's closed disciple..."

Xiao Chongjing waved his hand and interrupted Zhuoqing's words:

"Alright! Since Wen Yanzhao is now Feng'er's sworn brother, and he has also eradicated the northern demon, it can be considered a great achievement!"

"Pass on my decree, grant Wen Yanzhao a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of brocade... Wait, there are so many vacant mansions in Tianqi City, pick a good one and give it to him!"

After saying this, Xiao Chongjing's eyes lit up:

"Didn't Li Changsheng temporarily appoint him as the chief examiner? Then I will appoint him as a proper official position in the school! Hmm... Zhuoqing, how about appointing him as the school supervisor?"

When Zhuo Qing heard that Emperor Tai'an was actually going to give Wen Yanzhao an official title, and that it was a position second only to the chief priest in the academy, he felt a little unhappy, but he still responded humbly:

"Your Majesty is wise and decisive. If a young man who has just started out can get such an important position, he will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty! In this way, he can work in the school and get along with the Langya King day and night!"

“No matter how great his achievements in martial arts will be in the future, he must always be grateful to Your Majesty and the court. Beili has lost a willful Li Changsheng and gained a Wen Yanzhao who is sent by the court!”

After listening to Zhuoqing's words, Emperor Tai'an felt that they made a lot of sense, and the haze in his heart was cleared away:

"You don't need to go for this matter. Send Zhuo Sen to go. It would be too much of an honor for that boy if you go! But... tell Zhuo Sen to pass my decree to King Langya, so that he can understand my intentions!"

"Go and draft the decree. Remember to pass on my oral order. Order Zhuo Sen to go to Prince Qing's residence before returning to the palace. Ask Prince Qing to come to the palace to see me!"

After listening to this, Zhuoqing bowed deeply and said, "I obey your order!" Then he left the hall.

……

School courtyard, flower pavilion and small terrace.

Xiao Ruofeng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the lotus pond under the autumn colors, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lei Mengsha followed Xiao Ruofeng and told him word by word how Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi eventually became Li Changsheng's disciples.

The more Xiao Ruofeng listened, the more solemn his expression became. After Lei Mengsha finished speaking, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball:

"So Yu Shenglan is Ye Dingzhi. Since he knew he was wanted by the imperial court, why did he still take the risk to participate in the academy examination?"

"Since Master has already exposed his disguise, why did he accept Ye Dingzhi as his disciple? How can I explain this to my father?"

Seeing Xiao Ruofeng's complicated expression, Lei Mengsha shook his head:

"I don't know about that. I think only Master himself knows the reason."

"Don't you and I know the old man's style of doing things? No one can stop him from doing what he wants..."

"Although he is the head priest of the academy, no one can control him. If the emperor finds out, he will definitely not let Ye Dingzhi off easily... I'm afraid you're not the only one implicated."

Lei Mengsha sighed and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

Xiao Ruofeng frowned, his tone was worried:

"I have been secretly investigating the Ye Yu clan's rebellion over the years, and all the evidence shows that..."

"I can find out a lot of things, but as a prince I dare not and cannot say anything!"

"Their family was framed. Father, the Emperor is wise and wise. He must know that Ye Yu's family was wrongly accused. I don't know why he still hasn't pardoned Ye Yu."

Xiao Ruofeng's words drifted away with the autumn wind. Before they had drifted far, Wen Yanzhao's voice suddenly came from afar:

"The person who wronged you knows how wronged you are better than you do!"

As soon as Wen Yanzhao finished speaking, before Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha could react, they saw a figure flash before their eyes, and Wen Yanzhao had appeared in front of them from nowhere.
