Lin Tianchu immediately noticed the undisguised embarrassment and difficulty on Song Yun and Su Xuandao's faces. Without the slightest hesitation, he moved lightly, his figure like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of everyone.

When Su Xuandao and Song Yun saw that the person who came was Lin Tianshu, one of the four most famous vice presidents of the Guiyuan Society, their hearts tightened. They quickly clasped their hands in respect and said in unison, "We greet Elder Lin!" Their voices were loud and clear, showing their deep respect for Lin Tianshu.

Seeing Su Xuandao and Song Yun bow and greet Lin Tianshu so solemnly, He Beichen and He Yuanhuan, who were standing to the side, knew that the old man must be of extraordinary status. They dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly followed suit, bowing and saying respectfully, "We greet you, senior!" Their attitude was humble and polite.

Lin Tianchu's gaze swept over everyone, taking in their expressions. He knew that Su Xuandao and Song Yun must be extremely conflicted at this moment, so he decided to find out the situation first to avoid making things worse by acting rashly.

His expression was calm as he asked slowly, "Xuan Dao, and Song Yun, what exactly happened on your side? Why do you look like this? Have you encountered some difficult problem?"

Upon hearing Lin Tianchu's question, Song Yun's heart stirred slightly. He secretly pondered that this highly respected Elder Lin might be the one who had come to help them solve their problems.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, steadied himself, and then replied, "Elder Lin, to be honest, this 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' seems to have some abnormalities for some reason. With our current capabilities, it is really difficult to find out the cause, so we have to trouble you to take a look yourself and see if you can find out where the problem lies."

Having said that, Song Yun stepped aside, revealing the table with the Mountain and River Map to Lin Tianshu.

Lin Tianchu looked at Song Yun, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. He knew Song Yun had already grasped the deeper meaning behind his words. He nodded slightly, then said with a smile, "Song Yun, and Su Xuandao, you two come with me to the secret chamber in the pavilion over there. We'll carefully examine this 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' to see what the problem is. We must investigate thoroughly and find out exactly where the flaw lies!"

After saying that, Lin Tianchu turned his gaze to He Beichen and He Yuanhuan, who were standing not far away, and said in a gentle voice, "Please wait here for a moment, you two. I need to go with Elder Song Yun and Elder Su Xuandao to check the key information contained inside the Mountain and River Map. This may take a little time and affect your enrollment procedures, but I hope you will understand."

Upon hearing this, He Beichen quickly bowed and respectfully replied, "It's alright, it's alright. Senior, you can go ahead and attend to the matters concerning the Mountain and River Map. It's no problem for us to wait here a little longer."

Seeing He Beichen act this way, Lin Tianchu couldn't help but nod in approval in his heart. Without further hesitation, he hurriedly led Song Yun and Su Xuandao towards a pavilion on the side. This pavilion looked quite old, but its simple and elegant appearance still exuded a solemn and dignified aura.

As soon as the three stepped into the pavilion, Lin Tianchu sealed the secret chamber as if by magic. The three went straight to where the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" was kept. The huge scroll was carefully unfolded on a wide table, and it contained a wealth of information.

Lin Tianchu took a deep breath, composed himself, and began to carefully examine the mysterious landscape painting. While observing every detail in the painting, he discussed potential problems with Song Yun and Su Xuandao beside him.

At the same time, they planned to consult Su Xuandao for more details about He Beichen and He Yuanhuan after reviewing the information on the map. This way, they could comprehensively integrate all relevant information and properly handle this thorny matter.

Lin Tianshu asked, "Song Yun, what exactly happened?" Su Xuandao, who was standing to the side, was also full of curiosity, and his gaze fell on Song Yun like a spotlight. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he knew less than Song Yun.

Song Yun sighed and slowly said, "Elder Lin, Elder Su, the girl Elder Su brought to enroll just now, the Hidden Dragon Token she obtained is from last year, yet she came to enroll today. After a careful investigation, I was surprised to find that all one hundred Hidden Dragon Token students from last year have already enrolled with their tokens."

I have also examined the Hidden Dragon Token in her possession, and it is undoubtedly genuine. Therefore, there is only one possibility: last year, someone from my Guiyuan Society, whose status is at least elder level, sent someone to impersonate the Hidden Dragon Token and infiltrate the Zhulu Academy.”

Lin Tianchu and Su Xuandao both sighed softly, and immediately understood that anyone who dared to act in this way was either incredibly bold, like a newborn calf, fearless; or had a powerful background, as majestic as a mountain, unafraid of any storm.

This situation is truly perplexing. The number of places at Zhulu Academy is limited, like precious radishes, one radish per hole, and the current difficulty lies in securing the girl's admission.

After a moment's thought, Lin Tianchu had an idea and asked Su Xuandao, "Elder Su, do you know the origins of the two people who came to report, and who gave them the tokens?"

Su Xuandao replied, "The man's name is He Beichen, and he has come to Zhulu Academy to become a teacher. The woman's name is He Yuanhuan, and she came to enroll with the Hidden Dragon Token. It is said that He Beichen seems to have a close relationship with Xiyan Tianjun, and this token was bestowed upon him by Xiyan Tianjun." (After Lin Nuoyi broke through to the Celestial Realm, her Daoist name became Xiyan Tianjun.)

The thought that had just crossed Lin Tianchu's mind was instantly buried deep within him. He pondered to himself, deciding that he shouldn't act on his own initiative. After all, he was worried that these two people had a close relationship with Lin Nuoyi. Therefore, he had no time to worry about who had orchestrated this incident.

As a member of the Lin family of Zhulu Academy, Lin Tianchu was well aware of Lin Nuoyi's esteemed position within the family and dared not act rashly. Therefore, he decided to have He Beichen contact Lin Nuoyi so that she could personally handle the matter.

Lin Tianshu led Song Yun and Su Xuandao out and walked up to He Beichen and He Yuanhuan. Lin Tianshu said, "Young brother, perhaps you need to contact Xiyan Tianjun and ask her to come over. There are some matters that she may need to handle personally." He Beichen nodded and replied, "Okay, senior, I will contact Nuoyi right away."
