All the golden-armored guards in the City Lord's Mansion gave up their duty to guard the City Lord's Mansion and were dispatched here to besiege the academy for three days and three nights.
Moreover, each of them looked serious and murderous, as if they were ready to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Do you dare to say that this is not to destroy Wuchen Academy?
Duan Zhanlong's eyes widened and he scolded majestically: "Children, what are you talking nonsense about? Go away!"
Duan Xiaoqing's heart felt as if a vat of paste had been poured into her heart, making her sticky and suffocating.
Why am I talking nonsense? Isn’t it obvious?
He turned around and smiled gently, congratulating Xia Qingchen: "Congratulations, Dean Xia!"
Xia Qingchen sat in front of the stone bench and said without changing his expression: "Oh? Where does the joy come from?"
Duan Zhanlong felt guilty in his heart, but the smile on his face became even bigger: "Of course, your college is happy to win the first place in this experience. This is a great joy, it is the glory of your Wuchen Academy, and it is also the glory of my Tianxing City."
In the academy competition, Tianxing City's academy has never won enough honors.
This experience is the best in the country, far ahead of other academies, and it is a shame for Tianxing City.
Xia Qingchen said in surprise: "Really? City Lord Duan knew the news so quickly? Now the external claim is that our Wuchen Academy ranks last."
As he said that, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the still murderous Jin Jiawei and the dazzling Tianliu Thunder Feather Formation.
The implication is that you, City Lord Duan, only know now, right?
Duan Zhanlong was embarrassed and said quickly: "Haha, what are you talking about? With our friendship, how could I not know Dean Xia's ability? I don't believe a word of the results announced to the public!"
The more he talked, the more confident he became, and he spoke eloquently: "Dean Xia's ability is obvious to the whole city. How can Wuchen Academy under your leadership be in the last place?"
"I have never believed in the announced results, so I have been waiting. No, as expected, Dean Xia kept it secret and led a few students to complete such a difficult task!"
As a politician, it is common for him to flatter others, and he said it very easily.
Duan Xiaoqing couldn't stand it. In his impression, his father had never flattered others.
With a dark face, she said coldly: "This flattery is a bit tough."
Duan Zhanlong seemed not to have heard anything, and continued to compliment without changing his expression: "When my daughter sneaked out and wanted to join your Wuchen Academy, to be honest, I totally agreed!"
Duan Xiaoqing almost stumbled when he said this.
She stared at her father blankly, and her dark face began to turn red. Really, she was ashamed of her father.
Isn't this too shameless?
Your city lord is majestic, but what about your upright image?
No more?
"So, I pretended not to know that she ran away, just to let him study in your academy! Although there is a lot of slander from all sides, I firmly believe that my vision is correct! Now the facts have proved that letting Xiaoqing join your academy is a good idea.
What a wise decision.”
Shangguan Yan covered her mouth and smiled softly, while Wen Xueying couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Really, I dare to say any big words.
Xia Qingchen smiled faintly and said: "Then, what is the purpose of City Lord Duan sending a large army to besiege our academy for three days and three nights?"
Duan Zhanlong's heart twitched, but he said calmly: "Dean Xia misunderstood, how can it be called a siege? The order I gave them was to pay homage to Dean Xia's honor and let them remember you as a special person.
teacher."
Still looking up to the honor!
Xia Qingchen asked again: "Where is the Heavenly Flowing Thunder Feather Array? Is it also here to pay homage to me?"
"This..." Duan Zhanlong's head turned quickly, he coughed dryly, and said: "This, it... yes, it is used to protect you."
Speaking of this, Duan Zhanlong said seriously and solemnly: "Because your achievements are too shocking, they have invisibly touched the interests of some high-level officials. I am worried that they will persecute you, so I have the foresight to set up the Heavenly Flowing Thunder Feather Array."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Your ability to make up stories on the spot is really good!
Wen Xueying also curled her lips. It was a shame that he could say such shameless words.
Xia Qingchen smiled half-heartedly: "So, it's all a misunderstanding?"
"Of course!" Duan Zhanlong said righteously: "You have indeed misunderstood the kindness of this city lord."
His kindness is so great that he doesn't hesitate to use one of Maple Leaf Kingdom's thirteen supreme formations.
Xia Qingchen said: "But City Lord, have you ever thought about it, it's hard to guard against thieves for a day, but it's hard to guard against thieves for a thousand days. The Heavenly Flowing Thunder Feather Array may be able to protect me if I leave it here for a day, but how to protect it after you take it away?"
Duan Zhanlong couldn't answer the question immediately. He couldn't promise to be responsible for Xia Qingchen's safety in the future, right?
This guy is the person that the prince wants to kill. God knows what kind of trouble he will get into, but he doesn't want to tell the truth.
While he was silent, Xia Qingchen said: "Since City Lord Duan sincerely wants to protect us, why not leave the Tianliu Thunder Feather Formation? Firstly, you can protect us, and secondly, you can show your care for the excellent academy.
How about it?"
This is a clear plan to steal his Heavenly Flowing Thunder Feather Formation!
Duan Zhanlong blurted out without thinking: "How can that be done?"
Xia Qingchen said: "If City Master Duan said this, I have doubts about your intention of setting up the Heavenly Flowing Thunder Feather Formation. I have to contact the editors from other places and ask them to comment."
How can this be spread externally?
From the words of the eldest prince, we already know that Wuchen Academy’s performance has been unanimously affirmed and appreciated by everyone in the imperial capital, and even the monarch has personally asked about it.
If word spreads again and the local city lord does not hesitate to use one of the Thirteen Supreme Formations to trap and kill him, then...
The consequences were even worse than the previous impact of his daughter's elopement.
Therefore, Duan Zhanlong made a decisive decision and reluctantly said: "There is no need to doubt my intentions. The Heavenly Flowing Thunder Feather Array will be left in this Wuchen Academy. Whenever you are safe, you can take it back again!"
Duan Zhanlong looked at the humble Xia Qingchen in front of him and felt that his heart was bleeding.
It doesn't matter if the Heavenly Flowing Thunder Feather Formation is left here. Others can't steal it or snatch it away, and it's also unused in your hands. It doesn't matter if it's left to protect Wuchen Academy.
But the key point is that the operation of the Tianliu Thunder Feather Array requires huge moon crystals to support it.
Under normal conditions, that is, when not being attacked, the value of the moon crystal consumed every day is about 100,000 gold, which is 3 million in a month and 30 million in a year.
Moreover, because it is for private use, money from the treasury cannot be used, and he has to pay for it all himself.
Xia Qingchen would be fine if it took him a month or two, but if it took him a year and a half, he would be bankrupt.
At this moment, Duan Zhanlong didn't feel too much regret. He secretly regretted that he was so impulsive that he had found an opportunity for others to take advantage of him.
Xia Qingchen finally showed a warm smile: "I finally understand the city lord's intention!"
He stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying: "Thank you City Lord for your kindness."
Duan Zhanlong smiled back, but while he was smiling, he was crying in his heart.
