Fan Chuan was so angry that he collapsed in a pool of blood on the spot.
Bodies scattered all around fell to the ground. The other students were paralyzed with fear. They were holding on to the pillars and looking at each other, not daring to move.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
The two guards escorting Gu Zitao over there had let go of the former, ran back and quickly gave their young master first aid before taking him back.
The way he came here was so aggressive and so hurried when he left, it was a bit funny.
But unfortunately, no one else present could laugh at all.
Liang Zhi still had some sense left. He swallowed and looked at Chen Ning:
"Now, what should we do now? The Cao Gang is powerful. If we are traced, we will definitely not be able to escape..."
Chen Ning was also very nervous, her fingers were trembling slightly, and the book was wrinkled by her, but she still closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and whispered calmly:
"You and others, hurry up and go back and inform your family first. I will ask my brother to make arrangements to take you and your family to the South Pier."
"With the Chen family here, I can at least protect you for a while..."
After all, she was the one who brought these people into trouble.
Chen Ning had already heard from Fan Chuan's words later that he simply wanted to test the Chen family. Whether it was a poetry meeting or any other meeting held today, Fan Chuan would find an opportunity to cause trouble.
Today she is Chen Ning, and tomorrow she will be Chen An!
Some other students were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly came over to Chen Ning, bowed gratefully, and then quickly left the pavilion.
But when he saw the dodging face of one of them, Chen Ning took a step sideways and stopped him.
She said with anger in her eyes: "As for you, Tang Shan, our Chen family does not welcome duplicitous people. Since you want the glory and wealth that Caobang can give you, and are willing to betray your classmates for this, then go and ask for the money that Caobang can give you."
Take shelter."
Tang Shan's expression changed, and he actually retorted: "I'm just telling the truth. Wasn't that poem written by Gu Zitao?!"
"He himself used his quick words for a while and caused us to be implicated. Can't I tell the truth?"
He loudly said: "It is better to let him take the blame alone than for all of us to suffer! I am doing this for everyone's good!"
Chen Ning looked at him, extremely disappointed: "He is just trying to show his quickness, but after all, it is because he wants to fight against Liang Guo. What about you?"
"Do you want to be willing to change from a Liang person to a Zhou person?"
"Fan Chuan seems to be speaking for the Caobang today, but in fact he is blocking the Dazhou education officer. Today it is a poem, a name, tomorrow it will be a word, a look!"
"If you open your mouth today, no one will speak for you again tomorrow!"
Tang Shan frowned and said, "Then what do you want? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of your Chen family!"
Chen Ning shook his head: "You go, this is the path you chose."
Tang Shan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly wanted to sneak out, but before he could take two steps, he was punched by Gu Zitao who was ambushing outside the garden wall.
He was stunned for a moment, but Gu Zitao had no intention of letting him go just like that. He directly pursued the victory and beat him severely.
Chen Ning looked at the small building next to him and said, "Thank you, senior, for saving me... I wonder if I can tell you your senior's name. Chen Ning will definitely repay your life-saving grace in the future."
"This little girl is not very old, but she speaks in a decent manner."
Qi Sibai looked at the bookish girl below and seemed to admire it very much.
Shen Meinan was unconvinced: "I'm about the same age, don't I also have a good look?"
Qi Sibai shook his head: "You mean, if you don't make a decision, you just scream and kill people with your sword?"
When Shen Meinan heard this, he drew out his sword in anger, shouted loudly, and prepared to fight Qi Sibai to the death.
Chen Kuang grabbed her waist, stopped her, and pushed her back into her seat.
Qi Sibai said amusedly: "When I say she speaks decently, I mean that she sees things thoroughly, knows what to say, and is not afraid of getting into trouble. After all, she is not a practitioner, which is already rare at this age."
He looked at Chen Kuang again: "But brother Chen, don't you plan to kill that Fan Chuan? This man is narrow-minded and may want to retaliate against the Chen family."
Chen Kuang shook his head: "No killing."
He raised the corners of his mouth: "I'm afraid that he won't dare to retaliate after knowing Brother Qi's identity."
Qi Sibai was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Then I have to be more polite to them."
Chen Kuang cupped his hands and said, "I've wronged Brother Qi."
Qi Sibai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as Brother Chen can tell me the whereabouts of the 'Demon Sword' and let me hang around you."
He had said something similar to this to Lin Eryou earlier on the boat.
Chen Kuang's meaning is very clear. He just wants the Cao Gang to take action against the Chen family, and then naturally help the Chen family to take over.
As for what Qi Sibai did just now, he also used these as conditions for Chen Kuang to speak.
Chen Kuang looked down and saw that Chen Ning could not get a reply, so he automatically regarded this as a refusal to answer, so he hesitated again and again, so he had to leave a hairpin as a token and left Xianyu Temple.
After a while, a waiter came to clean it and brought the hairpin to the room.
Chen Kuang put away the hairpin and said seriously:
"I'm afraid I really need to trouble Brother Qi."
"You should already know that I was entrusted by Huo Hengxuan to escort the mother and daughter out of the Liang Kingdom."
Hearing this, Qi Sibai had some vague premonitions in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"Is the demon sword related to the mother and daughter?"
Chen Kuang nodded and repeated what he had previously learned from Chu Wenruo and Qingcuo, combined with the information given by Shen Meinan.
"Too illusory realm, endless purgatory, the sun and moon are in the same sky, in this human world..."
Qi Sibai murmured, looked at Chen Kuang, and said in a deep voice: "This is the first time I have seen someone witness the demon sword changing its host."
"Host?"
"Yes, that demon sword actually has no entity. This is why Jianlu was unable to find it in the sword-making furnace back then."
Qi Sibai said: "Because when the first person approached the sword-making furnace, this demon sword had already regarded him as its host."
"And that person is Jie Kun's master Tie Baiyuan."
"At that time, the people in Jianlu thought he fainted because they witnessed the traitor's evil deeds and were unable to accept it. However, they did not expect that after being in a coma for seven days, he suddenly went crazy and disappeared."
"The strange thing is that after he disappeared, the more than 170 people in his family who took care of him also went crazy one after another, and eventually they all committed suicide."
"After that, the demon sword was born for the second time seven years ago, the third time was three years ago, and the fourth time is now."
"But unfortunately, every time I arrive, I am a step late, and the result is the same every time...the demon sword and the host are missing, and the people around the host are all crazy."
"I didn't know the reason before, but now after hearing this passage, I understand a little bit. I'm afraid this is the so-called 'Taixu Illusion'."
"And only this time, I finally caught up..."
Qi Sibai looked heavy and said: "The demon sword has changed its host three times. The first time, the madman was one hundred and seventy, the second time was one thousand one hundred, and the third time was fifteen thousand six hundred."
Hearing this, Chen Kuang took a breath and was a little frightened. The increase in the number was a bit outrageous.
"Every time, more and more people go crazy. If we can't stop it this time, then the demon sword may lead to crazy people..."
Qi Sibai said solemnly: "I can't imagine it either!"
Chen Kuang straightened his back and said, "Brother Qi, please elaborate."
