Chapter 1851: Excellent!
"Gentlemen, since it was the boy who caused this, let him bear the responsibility himself!"
At this moment, a somewhat discordant voice sounded.
It was another senior Elder at the Nine Turns Tongxuan Realm, besides Zhuo Songyan.
"What nonsense are you talking!"
Zhuo Songyan immediately shouted upon hearing this.
At this moment, what he feared most was this; the powerful enemy was too strong, and some might have intentions to back down!
"Did I say anything wrong? We can’t drag down the entire academy for just one person!"
The Elder countered.
"Clap clap clap!"
At this time, several figures walked in through the main door!
"Monarch?!"
At this moment, more and more people gathered here, and when they saw the middle-aged man walking at the front, they exclaimed in surprise!
The matter of Su Chen killing the Fourth Prince was initially kept very secretive, known only to a select few forces, but the academy’s students were not ordinary folks, and over these days, they had heard some rumors.
Now seeing the Monarch arrive, an ominous feeling stirred in their hearts!
Especially Jiang Shiqi and Du Hanbing, who came here, were even more anxious!
They knew Su Chen had been cultivating in his room, and they hoped he wouldn’t come out!
"I think Elder Meng was right earlier. It’s unwise to have the entire academy buried for one person!"
Ning Yuanchang said calmly.
"Why has the Monarch come here today?"
The sole Divine Sea Realm expert among the four senior Elders asked.
Actually, it was clear without asking what the other party’s purpose was!
Although they didn’t concern themselves much with outside matters, they were aware of this major event!
"I’ve heard there’s some conflict between the academy and the Zhenyu Dynasty’s Liyun Sect, so I’ve come to check it out."
Ning Yuanchang said with a calm smile:
"Both the Zhenyu Dynasty and Shenfeng Dynasty belong to the Great Yan Empire, and Zhaixing Academy and Liyun Sect are crucial in both dynasties, so if there’s any unpleasantness, I hope it can be resolved peacefully!"
Ning Yuanchang, as a Monarch, conveyed a sense of pressure by coming here, but couldn’t say it outright!
Otherwise, a state Monarch helping another dynasty’s force to oppress his country’s academy wouldn’t sound good!
"What do the two predecessors from Liyun Sect think?"
Ning Yuanchang looked at the two elderly men, smiling!
The elder who rarely spoke pondered a bit, then nodded:
"We will give face to the Monarch, as long as they hand over that boy surnamed Su today, we’ll leave immediately!"
First, the other party is a Monarch; second, this Monarch and the people around him are not ordinary, including three Divine Sea Realm experts among them!
"Impossible!"
Zhuo Songyan refused directly.
Like Li Changting, he also had high hopes for Su Chen!
Having such a monstrous talent is a rare opportunity for Zhaixing Academy, and today’s stance is crucial!
"What do you think, Elder Gu?"
Ning Yuanchang asked with a smile.
This Elder Gu is the only Divine Sea Realm expert among the four senior Elders, second only to Li Changting in the academy!
Qiu Changguang heard the words and fell silent, actually feeling conflicted at this moment!
He knows that Su Chen is a promising seed, definitely worthwhile to nurture!
If facing the royal family alone, the academy could withstand it, but with Liyun Sect added, the pressure is truly immense!
One improper handling could bring tremendous disaster to the academy!
But the dean’s attitude is also crucial; although he didn’t discuss the Fourth Prince’s matter with them, the senior Elders roughly guessed that the dean intended to protect this person!
But what about Liyun Sect?!
He didn’t know if the dean was aware of this matter, and if he was, whether he would still want to protect this person!
Therefore, it’s understandable why an Elder suggested handing Su Chen over to settle the dispute!
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but worry: Why hasn’t the dean appeared yet!
"Excuse me, what grudge does Su Chen have with your Liyun Sect?"
Ning Yuanchang asked as if unaware.
"Humph, this person killed our sect’s Young Sect Master!"
An elder snorted coldly.
"What?!"
Ning Yuanchang’s eyes widened upon hearing this, extremely shocked, as if truly unaware!
"He actually killed the Young Sect Master of Huangfu!"
Ning Yuanchang shook his head with a sigh:
"Initially, I was willing to forgive this boy for killing my son, considering the academy’s face and his potential as a rare talent that could become a pillar of the dynasty in the future!"
"But unexpectedly, he killed even the Young Sect Master of Liyun Sect!"
Ning Yuanchang’s speech was excellently delivered, turning his concerns into a display of magnanimity!
With this, Su Chen must die; the royal family’s reputation remains intact, and he is satisfied!
"Enough, this matter must give Liyun Sect an explanation; you should hand over Su Chen!"
Ning Yuanchang regretfully said, appearing somewhat helpless!
Now, the other three elders and the subsequent arriving steward elders all looked at Elder Gu, as he was the leading figure here!
After a moment of silence, Elder Gu suddenly spoke resolutely:
"Gentlemen, the reason why Su Chen killed your sect’s Young Sect Master is still unknown. If he was forced or had sufficient reason, forgive us for not handing him over!"
"If he truly is a cruel person, our academy will give Liyun Sect an explanation!"
"Are you sure about that?"
One elderly man from the Liyun Sect squinted, his eyes shining brightly!
Seeing this, Elder Gu remained silent, which already represented his stance!
"Good good good!"
The elder suddenly laughed, then his expression turned cold:
"Since that’s the case, today we’ll flatten this place!"
With those words, the terrifying aura around the two elderly men exploded, causing many to struggle to stand stably!
At this point, Monarch Ning Yuanchang felt awkward!
If a fight breaks out, which side should he help?
It seems that helping either side is not a good choice!
He really didn’t expect Elder Gu to choose this way!
The atmosphere grew tense again, as if a battle could start at any moment, everyone’s hearts seemed to stop beating!
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and a figure walked in from the back of the crowd!
Seeing the person, everyone from Zhaixing Academy, whether students or elders, felt relieved!
Because the person was their dean, Li Changting!
"Dean!"
Everyone from Zhaixing Academy shouted in unison; this shout of ’Dean’ was a stabilizer!
"Very well!"
Li Changting looked at the several senior elders and nodded.
The elders understood immediately; the dean was already here, not appearing to observe their actions!
