Zhou Qingyuan fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Li Chengqian hurried to the scene and with just one glance, he secretly judged that Zhou Qingyuan's injuries were not serious, at least from his perspective of being accustomed to seeing life and death.

His eyes quickly swept over Zhou Qingyuan's body, and he didn't see any bamboo sticks deeply piercing his body. Compared with the broken arms and legs and bloody and mangled bodies on the battlefield, the wound before him was nothing.

Li Chengqian did not hesitate at all. His movements were quick and decisive, as he had developed on the battlefield. He strode forward, grabbed Zhou Qingyuan's clothes with both hands, and with a "hiss", he tore them open neatly.

After seeing that the wound was not too serious and did not hit any vital parts, his brows relaxed slightly.

Then, without thinking, he reached out his hand and pulled the remains of the bamboo pot out of the wound.

The moment the bamboo pot was pulled out, blood gushed out again. Li Chengqian was quick-witted and quickly picked up Zhou Qingyuan's clothes and tied a knot at his wound with force.

As he tied the knot, he thought to himself that this was done to prevent bleeding. He knew very well that if the wound was too large, using this simple and rough method would only cause heavy bleeding, which would be troublesome.

Finally, seeing that the bleeding had gradually stopped, Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Zhong Li who was standing there in a daze.

"What are you still standing here for? Why don't you go get a doctor? I remember there should be a doctor in the academy, right?"

His voice was low, and in this chaotic scene, it also reminded Zhong Li.

After being reminded by Li Chengqian, Zhong Li finally woke up from her dream. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She turned around in a panic and ran out quickly.

Li Chengqian turned his gaze to Zheng Zhihuan who was trembling beside him, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, trying to dispel the fear in the child's heart.

"Don't be afraid, we've seen it before, haven't we?"

His tone was as gentle as the spring breeze, carrying a soothing power.

When Zheng Zhihuan heard Li Chengqian's words, he slowly raised his head, with fear and confusion still in his eyes.

His little head was thinking hard, and the scene of meeting Li Chengqian slowly emerged in his mind. Finally, he nodded woodenly, and that action carried a bit of the child's ignorance and helplessness.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian reached out and gently touched his head.

"Don't be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of. You haven't done anything wrong. The ones you should be afraid of are those who bully you."

Not long after, a noisy sound of footsteps came from a distance, getting closer and closer, and soon, a large group of people rushed in.

The one walking in front was the doctor, holding the medicine box tightly in his hand. He looked hurried, with beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had been jogging all the way here.

Following behind was the dean Wang Bai, his brows tightly furrowed and his face full of anxiety.

There were also gentlemen from other classes, their faces also had expressions of shock, and their eyes revealed that they were at a loss as to what to do about this sudden situation.

When they saw the stranger Li Chengqian for the first time, they were all stunned, their eyes full of confusion and vigilance.

However, Zhou Qingyuan's injury was the most important thing at the moment, so they didn't pay much attention to it. The doctor ran straight towards Zhou Qingyuan.

At this time, Zhou Qingyuan had been frightened to the point of fainting. His face was as pale as paper, bloodless, and he lay quietly on the ground.

Dean Wang Bai stared at Zheng Zhihuan intently, his gaze seemed to penetrate him. Such a big thing happened in the college during his tenure, which made him shocked and angry.

The most troublesome thing is that Zhou Qingyuan's father is the chief clerk. If this matter is not handled properly, the price to be paid for covering it up will be very high.

Thinking of this, Dean Wang Bai felt a pain in his flesh, as if his heart and liver were being pulled by someone, and the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch slightly.

He looked at Li Chengqian who appeared here inexplicably, and felt a strong sense of displeasure in his heart.

"who are you?"

He asked loudly, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

But his words did not elicit a response from Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian just stood there quietly with a calm expression, as if Wang Bai's words were just an insignificant gust of wind blowing gently past his ears.

Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't answer him, Wang Bai snorted again, and the anger in his heart grew stronger.

"What's with the new guards at the gate? Why are they letting anyone in?"

"Get out! Get out now! This must have happened because of you."

"I've already told you that no strangers are allowed in. Are these guards turning a deaf ear to my words?"

"Mr. Zhong, do you think this happened because of this person?"

As he spoke, he waved his arms, very excited, and the fat on his face trembled slightly with his movements.

After hearing Wang Bo's words, Zhong Li suddenly remembered.

It was this person who stood outside and watched for so long without coming out to stop it.

If he had come out to stop it earlier, would this have happened?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She looked at Li Chengqian with disgust in her eyes.

"Yes, that's right, Dean! It was him, standing at the door stealthily for a long time! I think he's the one responsible for this incident. He doesn't look like a good person to me! If he were a good person, he would have come in and stopped it long ago! Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Her voice was sharp and piercing, with a hint of accusation, and she put all the blame on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian didn't want to pay any attention to them at first, because in his opinion, these people were not worth his words at all.

But I didn't expect that this matter would eventually involve me.

However, thinking about it carefully, they do have some truth in their words. If I had stopped them in advance, these things would not have happened. But if I had stopped them, would it not happen again?

This is typical: when a problem arises, people only do superficial work without thinking about what caused it to happen.

This is also one of the biggest problems facing the Tang Dynasty today.

Li Chengqian looked at the people in front of him, a complex emotion surged in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing.

His smile contained a hint of helplessness, a hint of sarcasm, and a hint of worry about the current situation.

He pointed at himself and asked in a calm but dignified tone, "Why, are you talking about me?"

Looking at Li Chengqian's calm look.

Wang Bai was even more furious.

"He must be a family member who got the news and is here to support him!"

"Don't let him leave! When the authorities come, we'll bring him to justice!"

"Anyone can really run wild in the academy now!"

"Do you know what an academy is? His Majesty said it's a place for teaching and educating people!"

"We in the Tang Dynasty will never allow anyone to persecute students!"
