Chapter 267 Shock Across the Land
The entire room was silent, except for Zhan Lunhui's questioning voice, while the other gentlemen all wore faint expressions of displeasure, seemingly dissatisfied with the statement made by the gentleman named Jiang Tao.
"No, although Ye Ru is extremely talented, he only became famous at a young age. In terms of achievements, he is far inferior to the Four Great Talents of Yanhuang and the Four Scholars of Jiangling. In terms of contributions, he has only been at Yingtian Academy for a few months. What achievements has he made for Yingtian Academy?"
Jiang Tao remained unfazed by the rebuttal and instead elaborated on his own words.
"Alright, then I'll tell you about Ye Ru's achievements, you old scholar!"
Yu Mengyang, standing to the side, could not contain his anger. Ye Ru had died because of him, and if he did not clear Ye Ru's name, it would violate the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and this would have a great impact on his path to sainthood.
Moreover, both morally and logically, he had to stand on Ye Ru's side and defend Ye Ru's reputation to the death.
"Ye Ru thrice invited the God of Literature to descend to earth, and even promoted the method of reading during the imperial examinations and literary gatherings, which caused a tremor in the temple and thus had the merit of educating all people."
"In terms of contributions, Ye Ru single-handedly constructed the Five Tones Realm of Yingtian Academy, saved a thousand students of Yingtian Academy, and even saved this old man of mine. Doesn't that count?"
"You're showing favoritism!"
Jiang Tao slammed his hand on the table and shouted sternly.
"If you can die in place of Ye Ru, I will also favor you just as much, and you can even join the Left Prime Minister's faction. What do you say?"
Yu Mengyang showed no fear whatsoever, his gaze was cold, and he shouted back in a sharp voice.
"you!"
Jiang Tao's face turned deathly pale; he was clearly furious. Then, with a flick of his sleeve:
"I will not argue with you; I leave everything to Grand Scholar Su to discern."
"All right."
Grand Scholar Su, seated in the main seat, closed his eyes. His aged face showed a hint of dejection compared to before. Clearly, Ye Ru's death was a significant blow to him.
"You don't need to argue anymore. When the people from the National Holy Academy arrive the day after tomorrow, I will report to them and then go to the National Holy Academy with them to explain everything. In addition, I will relinquish my temporary management responsibilities for Yingtian Academy."
Grand Scholar Su opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice:
"Furthermore, we must treat Ye Ru's betrothed with utmost care and ensure that nothing happens to her! Otherwise, I, Su Yunsong, will absolutely not let him off the hook!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Grand Scholar Su swept his sharp gaze around. As if sensing the murderous aura emanating from Grand Scholar Su, Jiang Tao shrank back slightly and dared not utter another word.
Not only Yingtian Academy, but also Guosheng Academy, the Ministry of War, and Qingyun County received the news, leaving them all silent and filled with a sense of desolation.
Qingyun County.
"Protect the Ye family well. During my term of office, the Ye family is the only prominent family in Qingyun County!"
Magistrate Zhang of Qingyun County raised his head and spoke slowly to Registrar Wen, his voice firm and domineering.
"Yes, we will do our utmost to protect the Ye family mansion!"
……
Four mirrors and three bright platforms.
"Ye Ru was swallowed by the Demon Saint at Yingtian Academy? No way."
Chen Sijun was drinking tea when she heard Pang Jun's words. She clenched her fist, shattering the teacup, and looked on incredulously.
"Yes, that's for sure. The National Holy Academy said it themselves, and it's said that..."
"These damned demons, as long as I have a breath left, I will make them pay with their lives!"
After listening to Pang Jun's account, Chen Sijun slammed her hand on the chair, a murderous aura surfacing on her face.
“Think twice before you act.”
Pang Jun quickly stopped Chen Sijun and said urgently.
"No, I have to go to Yingtian Academy to reason with them. Ye Ru has made so many contributions to the Yanhuang Kingdom, I can't let him die without knowing why!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Sijun immediately decided that she wanted to go to Yingtian Academy.
"I'll go with you."
Song Feng and the others stood at the door and said.
In the mansion of Zuo Xiang.
"With Ye Ru dead, our Yanhuang Kingdom has lost another pillar of talent."
The Left Prime Minister and his wife, along with others, were gathered at a table. Upon hearing this, some of them fell silent. The Left Prime Minister sighed deeply, seemingly quite regretful.
"Father is blessed. With Ye Ru dead, there are no more worries about the future."
A handsome young man quickly stood up and bowed to the Left Prime Minister.
"How dare you! Chief Ye is a blessing to our Yanhuang Kingdom, increasing its national fortune by thirty percent. How can you be so gloating?"
The Left Prime Minister glanced at the young man and reprimanded him, while the others remained silent, seemingly afraid of something.
"Qing'er, you've reached the age of twenty. It's time for you to go to the frontier for some experience. We'll set off tomorrow!"
After a moment of contemplation, the Left Prime Minister picked up a piece of meat, looked at Qin Qing with a meaningful gaze, and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing's face turned deathly pale, and she immediately took two steps back and knelt down.
"Father, please spare me! Qing'er knows she was wrong."
He knew that the frontier his father spoke of was no ordinary frontier, but an extremely cold place that their Left Prime Minister had specially guarded, a place where death was almost certain!
"We're leaving tomorrow, Qing'er. You know that too much talk leads to mistakes. Once you're on the frontier, you must reflect on yourself three times a day so as not to fail the teachings of Confucius and Mencius."
The Left Prime Minister stood up, patted Qin Qing on the shoulder, and walked out the door.
"Father, spare me! Father, spare me!"
While people across Yanhuang Kingdom expressed their regret or joy for Ye Ru, Ye Ru was in the abdomen of the Black Tiger Demon Saint. His body was completely stained red with blood, and his face was extremely pale, as if he had reached an extreme.
His body had become extremely shriveled, almost like a skeleton.
Seeing this, Ji Kang sighed. This situation was extremely dangerous; one wrong move and he could really become a dead man.
Both hearts were in Ji Kang's hands. Ji Kang looked at the Cloud and Water Zen Heart, took a deep breath, and placed it into Ye Ru's body.
As the Zen mind entered, the blood seemed to be guided and began to gather towards the heart, and a strange energy flowed continuously into his body.
As this energy entered Ye Ru's body, his originally withered skin quickly began to swell, and his originally pale face gradually became rosy.
"We've finally passed the most dangerous hurdle. Now all I need to do is adapt to this tranquil state of mind."
Ji Kang breathed a sigh of relief, then murmured:
"This time, you're probably going to undergo a complete transformation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Kang waved his hand, and the blood of the Black Tiger Demon Saint around him began to condense around him, eventually turning into a pool of ink.
Then, he prepared to create the Black Tiger Blood Ink. However, just as he began, Ye Ru's body suddenly erupted with a surge of talent. This unexpected change made him widen his eyes in surprise.
