"This... Great Elder, during the period of your retreat, I have been managing the Nine Palaces Blessed Land in accordance with the regulations."
Wu Fan secretly swallowed a mouthful of foam and then explained.
On the surface, there appear to be two elders in charge of Tianlong Academy's Nine Palaces Blessed Land, but in fact, only the great elder is truly in charge.
As for the second elder, he has no right to speak at all. To put it bluntly, he is just a handyman. If the elder had not been in retreat during this period, Wu Fan would have nothing to do with him.
"Really? In that case, why don't you dare to look up at me?"
The Great Elder frowned slightly, obviously not intending to let Wu Fan go just like this.
"Great... Great Elder, I..."
Wu Fan slowly raised his head. He felt guilty and looked extremely scared.
"I just came out of seclusion, and many disciples came to complain to me. I already know everything you did during this period! Including what happened just now, I already know it! Now, tell me
, how do you plan to handle this matter just now?"
The great elder waved his hand and said calmly.
"This... Fan... Fan Lie and Wei Feng have seriously violated the regulations of the Nine Palaces Paradise by killing Tang Li. They should be expelled from the Nine Palaces Paradise and reported to the academy to never hire them!"
Wu Fan was sweating profusely. At that moment, he gritted his teeth and had to make this decision.
"No... Elders, I'm just following orders. The real mastermind is Fang Shaoxiong. Please, don't expel us and you from the academy!"
"I, I know I was wrong. Please be merciful. Our Fan family will definitely be grateful to the two elders for their kindness!"
Wei Feng and Fan Lidun's expressions suddenly changed, and they knelt down to plead for mercy. Even if they had good status and background, if they were expelled from the college, it would be a major event for them that would affect their prospects as doctors!
"Shut up! I have already read to you the rules of the Nine Palaces Blessed Land, and now that you have seriously violated it, what else is there to say!"
Wu Fan couldn't help but shouted, "Fortunately, he has no direct interest relationship with Wei Feng and Fan Lie, otherwise if the other party bites back at this time, he, as an elder, will also end up in trouble."
Wei Feng and Fan Lie were extremely desperate. This time, they were completely done.
"Any more?"
The great elder continued to ask.
"Shen Bao, Wei Fei and Xu Qiang not only harmed the students with cruel means, but also wanted to kill Tang Li, Lu Xinyi and Lu Waner. Their crimes were more serious than Wei Feng and Fan Lie. According to regulations, they should be abolished
Cultivation level, direct expulsion from the academy!"
Wu Fan continued to pronounce the verdict. Originally, if the Great Elder had not come out of seclusion, he wanted to take this opportunity to kill Tang Li and others in one fell swoop and make Fang Shaoxiong owe him a favor. Now, everything has gone cold.
"If this elder had not appeared, would you have made the same decision?"
The great elder asked.
"Of course! I have always dealt with these matters involving principles, and I will never be partial! Anyone who dares to violate the regulations of the Nine Palaces Blessed Land must be severely punished!"
Wu Fan looked extremely righteous and said.
"Really? What about them? How will you judge them?"
The Great Elder glanced at Tang Li and others and asked.
Hearing this, Wu Fan's face changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought for a while. Until now, he still couldn't figure out why the Great Elder appeared at this time, let alone who he was thinking about.
Fang Shaoxiong, Liu Zhankai and others are extraordinary in terms of status and background. According to normal people's logic, the Great Elder should stand by them without hesitation, even if Fang Shaoxiong and Liu Zhankai have not given the Great Elder anything.
The good thing is that the great elder should not find it difficult to make things difficult for them because of their status and background.
But now judging from the Great Elder's reaction and attitude, it is obvious that he is on Tang Li's side, or in other words, he is selfless and upright.
Selfless? Upright?
You are lying to children, how could there be such a person in this world!
As for the elder's preference for Tang Li, Wu Fan didn't believe it even more!
Why? Tang Li is just a native from Qingzhou. What kind of identity and background can he have? Is there anything in him that the Great Elder can appreciate?
No, there was nothing. Therefore, Wu Fan was confused about this issue for a while and didn't know how to decide.
"What about you, do you have anything to say?"
The Great Elder seemed to have seen through Wu Fan and knew what he was thinking. He immediately asked Tang Li and others directly.
"Great Elder! Since we entered the Nine Palaces Blessed Land, we have been targeted by Elder Wu many times! Especially Tang Li. Once, Elder Wu even accused Tang Li of an unfounded crime and wanted to expel him from the academy. If not,
If everyone had interceded for Tang Li, he would have succeeded long ago! This time, the reason why Tang Li wanted to kill Fan Lie and Wei Feng was because he was forced to do so!"
"That's right! There are so many people here. With your power, Great Elder, if you ask anyone at random, you should be able to understand the whole thing very quickly."
Lu Waner and Lu Xinyi knew that Tang Li didn't want to argue so much, so they immediately answered first.
The Great Elder nodded slightly. He just looked at Tang Li without speaking, as if he was waiting for Tang Li's answer.
"I have nothing to say. Justice and justice only depend on whose fist is stronger. My words shouldn't affect your judgment, right?"
Tang Li replied calmly that at this time, he was not sure whether the Great Elder was an enemy or a friend.
"You may be right in what you said, but to this elder, what is right is right, and what is wrong is naturally wrong! You are not at fault in this matter, so I now acquit you! Okay, you guys
You can leave now and prepare well for the next baptism of Longyuan. For your injured friends, this elder will also compensate you accordingly."
"In addition, this elder can also assure you that before you leave the Nine Palaces Blessed Land, nothing unfair will happen to you."
The Great Elder said to Tang Li.
Tang Li was slightly stunned. In the first sentence, he could still interpret the Great Elder as being selfless, but in the second sentence, he was a little biased towards his meaning.
"Thank you, Great Elder!"
Tang Li cupped his fists and said, then led everyone away.
"You can go to the Punishment Hall yourself to receive your punishment."
The great elder said directly to Wu Fan coldly.
Wu Fan's expression changed and he could only leave unwillingly.
"It's a bit interesting, but it's not to the point where he could surprise me as he told me. Next, don't let me down..."
The Great Elder looked at the backs of Tang Li and others leaving, thinking to himself that the next moment, he had disappeared from the same place.
