""What happened to you, An Zeng?""

An Zhan: ""Hur hur … Hur Hur Hur …""

Skinny Dean: ""Are you alright?""

An Zhan: ""Hehe … hehe …""

""Are you alright?""

""You"ve been smiling ever since you returned from the academy. The smile made my scalp tingle … Little Liu"er said that you"re fine, but I think something really went wrong with you.""

An Zhan: ""Haha … hahahahaha … hahahahahahaha …""

""F * ck … Don"t scare me, okay? What the f * ck is wrong with you?""

An Zeng was dazzled. He leaned over and said in a low voice to Skinny Du: ""Haven"t you always been curious about my talent in cultivation?""

Do you want to know? "

""Hurry up and tell me.""

An Zeng turned around and ran away like an idiot. ""If I don"t tell you, I won"t tell you, or I won"t tell you … Aiya!""

""Did you run into someone else"s pillar … Did you not take any medicine or did you take the wrong medicine today? Why are you so crazy?""

Let me ask you one thing, is that lecturer called Hutong a vixen?

""According to the legends, a fox spirit would transform into a beautiful girl to get close to a man, then absorb a man"s soul essence. From what I see, you are basically a sequela of being sucked in.""

An Zeng took a deep breath, and he finally calmed down a lot from his excitement.

How could I not be excited, from half a star to three?

""Look at you! You have knocked down all of the pillars of the shop owner"s shop … The big hole has split open, and I don"t want to pay you back,"" said Skinny Du, as he dragged An Zeng along with him, apologizing to the shop owner next to him.

""You can count this money on your head. Return it to me later.""

""I think I"m very special today.""

""I also feel that you are very special today.""

""Yeah, I think I"m very handsome today.""

""I feel that you are even more r.e.t.a.r.ded than the previous month …""

An Zeng glared at Skinny Du, then grinned and went over, ""Let"s eat something good tonight. I want to be decadent, I want to be big and fat, I want to be drunk and dreaming.""

""Fine, fine, fine. You are very handsome today. Whatever you say will do.""

Gu Qian Ye held Qu Liuxi"s arm and followed behind An Shou. He looked like he was crazy and worried and said, ""What Skinny Du said can"t be true, can that Hutang really be a fox spirit?""

Qu Liuxi said, ""There are tens of thousands of monsters in this world. If there is a chance, the fox can also cultivate.""

""However, Instructor Huo is a very honest person, there is no doubt about that.""

Gu Qianye continued to mutter to himself, ""If he really is a vixen, I wonder how he managed to suck up so much peace and quiet.""

""Aiya, I"m letting her off …""

Qu Liuxi was stunned for a moment. ""Xiao Yezi, what did you say?""

Gu Qianye raised his head to look at the sky. ""Cough, cough … let"s eat something good tonight. I want to go down, I want to eat a lot of fish and meat …""

As they were walking back, they suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

An Zeng looked forward, and saw that it was the home of Chen Zaiyan, the Minister of War.

Teams of Imperial Guards began to drive people away from the area, keeping them away from the crowd. An Zhan and the others had no choice but to retreat with them.

Not long after, An Zaiyan saw Chen Zaiyan being dragged out of the yard with iron chains attached to his hands, put into the carriage and taken away.

""What"s going on?"" An Xuan was shocked.

Skinny Dean replied: ""It"s been a month and you"re not normal. You won"t listen to what people are telling you.""

All day long, I was in the martial field, staring blankly at the Parmesan Tree. I mentioned it to you more than ten days ago, it seems that something went wrong with the imperial court and the Military Department was in a pa.s.sive position.

""I just didn"t expect that the situation would suddenly change. Why is Sir Chen captured?""

An Xuan said, ""Blame me … These days have indeed sunk too deeply into the depths, but why didn"t anyone remind me at the Martial Arts Academy?""

""Rumor has it that the headmaster of the martial inst.i.tution"s reserved words are from the empress dowager"s side. As the headmaster, who would remind you of anything?""

An Zaiyue squeezed forward and looked at the eunuch who was giving out the order. He recognized him himself.

He wanted to ask, but the eunuch turned and walked away as if he had seen a plague.

An Zaixin came back and instructed Qu Liuxi and co. to go home first.

He turned and ran towards the army headquarters. As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw a large group of Imperial Guards swarming towards the army headquarters from outside. The Inspector General and Lieutenant Qian Ji of the military headquarters were all standing to the side, their faces filled with confusion and uneasiness.

If it wasn"t for Fang Daozhong and w.a.n.g Kaitai"s military orders, the field officer Qian Ji would have made his move long ago.

If the Qianji field officer really did take action, these Imperial Guards really weren"t his match.

Fang Daozhong and w.a.n.g Kai-tai stood there dejectedly, but when they saw An Zaiyue rush over, w.a.n.g Kai-tai pulled him back. ""Don"t go in …""

""What happened?""

w.a.n.g KaiTai lowered his voice and said, ""General Su Zong has returned from the Eastern Frontier. He said that he has brought back proof that Lord Chen is a traitor.""

Now the Empress Mother herself had given the order to arrest Lord Chen and many of the officers of the Ministry of War.

""If it wasn"t because General Fang and I still have the power in the capital, General Fang and I would have been in trouble this time.""

He pulled her aside. ""This is so strange, the evidence must have been false, but why did it suddenly come?""

Right now, the Duke of Yan"s side was caught off guard as well. The Board of Punishments itself was on the empress dowager"s side, so things were going to get complicated.

The King of Yan is doing his best to keep Fang Dao and I out of the picture because he is afraid that the military will be wiped out. ""

""Then what should we do?""

""I can only watch as Sir Chen is captured?""

While speaking, the leader of the army, Xu Chao, was dragged out from inside the city by the Imperial Army with a chain.

A soldier of the Imperial Guards stepped forward to give him a push before An Chou stepped forward to support him. ""Lord Xu …""

Xu Chao straightened his body and tidied his clothes with great difficulty, ""Lord Chen said to pay attention to your appearance … Don"t worry, nothing will happen to you.""

""Cultivate properly in the Martial Arts Academy, this Great Yan will depend on young people like you in the future.""

""Let"s go!""

The Imperial Guards gave a fierce push, and Chaotic Broken Clouds was brought into the carriage.

An Zhe"s eyes were wide open, and the fire in his heart was on the verge of erupting.

The bronze bell seemed to sense the Master"s anger and was about to let it out.

With a ""pa"", An Zhe"s wrist was gripped tightly by Fang Dao.

Fang Daozhong shook his head slightly at him. ""This matter is very strange, but the empress dowager doesn"t dare to be too presumptuous. She won"t easily convict Sir Chen and the others without a hearing.""

""So there"s still time. If you make a move now, I"m afraid it will make them suffer even more in prison.""

He watched one officer after another being escorted into the prison cart.

A short while later, another group of Imperial Guards arrived from the direction of the Martial Arts Academy, carrying their prisoner carriages.

When An Zeng saw the person in the first carriage, his complexion immediately changed.

Dean of the Martial Arts Academy, reserved words.

Fang Dao sighed. ""General Su Zong only returned today. When he entered the brocade palace in the afternoon, the Black Empress Dowager couldn"t wait to make her move.""

""There were some signs earlier, no one would have thought that it would be so sudden.""

""The problem lies in Su"s leap.""

Fang Daozhong replied, ""I know what you"re thinking, but Su Zong did not come out of the brocade palace. Clearly, he will not come out in the future.""

""The experts of the brocade palace are as common as clouds. No one can do anything to Su Zong.""

He continued, ""This is bringing disaster to the country... The frontlines are still fighting with the people in the underworld, but the military has been captured in the rear.""

""If this affects the front lines, then if we lose this battle, who knows how many people will die.""

Fang Dao raised his head to look at the sky. ""The Heavens have no eyes. What can I do?""

An Zeng turned around and left. He rushed towards the Martial Arts Academy.

When he arrived at the gate of the Martial Arts Academy, he saw Vice Princ.i.p.al Chang Huan standing there with an angry expression. There were only a few instructors behind him, and most of them had already been taken away.

""Vice Princ.i.p.al, what should we do?""

An Zhan hurried over to ask. Chang Huan let out a long sigh, ""So what if the thief doesn"t die?""

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a few people wearing the uniforms of the Grand Cauldron Academy walking over. They had posted a notice at the entrance of the academy.

An Zeng walked over to take a look. The notice stated that the Martial Arts Academy was finished.

If the disciples of the Martial Arts Academy were unwilling to become accomplices with those who sold out the country, they should leave the Martial Arts Academy.

The Grand Cauldron Academy was willing to accept students of the academy. As long as one pa.s.sed the test, they would be able to become a member of the academy.

The number of Martial Arts Academy disciples watching from the sidelines increased as more and more discussions arose.

""What should we do now?""

""I heard that both the headmaster and the Military Minister Chen Zeyan have been captured, saying that they are traitors selling their country.""

""This is the biggest crime committed by the nine clans … I"m afraid this time, the Martial Arts Academy is truly finished.""

""I thought that I would be able to soar in the Martial Arts Academy, but now it seems that I made the wrong choice.""

""Why don"t we leave the Martial Arts Academy? Grand Cauldron Academy is also a good choice.""

""To the Grand Cauldron Academy?""

""Then let"s not be bullied to death!""

""Bullied to death?""

It was better to bully him to death than to die unjustly.

Think about it, once our academy is implicated, that would be a great crime of treason.

At that time, he wouldn"t even know how he died, and his family would be implicated as well.

""Rather than that, I might as well leave.""

As more and more people joined in, the voices grew louder and louder.

Many people had already returned to pack up their belongings and prepare to transfer to the Grand Cauldron Academy.

This was especially so for the freshmen who had just enrolled in the academy this year. Half of them were from government officials or wealthy families. These people were worried that they would implicate their families, so they chose to leave.

The number of disciples that came from the Humble Cla.s.s was even higher, but most of them were still standing there and watching from the sidelines.

""I"m not leaving.""

A disciple said, ""Without the Martial Arts Academy, I"m afraid that I won"t be able to cultivate for the rest of my life.""

""Now that we don"t know what"s going on, isn"t it right for us to just leave like this?""

""I"m not leaving either. Let"s see what"s going on first.""

If the headmaster and Lord Chen really conspire to rebel against the country, then of course we can"t stay here.

""However, I don"t believe that Lord Chen would do that. If he joined forces with the enemy, I"m afraid we would have lost a long time ago.""

An Zeng was upset and turned around to leave.

When he returned to the sect, he discovered that there was a horse carriage outside.

Judging from the pattern on the carriage, it should be a carriage from the Grand Cauldron Academy.

An Zeng walked to the entrance and alighted from the carriage. He was wearing the long robes of a Grand Cauldron Academy lecturer. He appeared to be a refined middle-aged man.

""Are you going to argue?""

the middle-aged man asked.

An Xuan nodded. ""That"s me.""

The middle-aged man smiled and said, ""My name is Su Ju, and I"m a lecturer at the Grand Cauldron Academy.""

There"s something important I need your help with. I don"t know if you have time to talk about it. ""

An Zhan asked, ""But you want me to go to the Grand Cauldron Academy?""

Su Qian nodded. ""Since you"ve already guessed it, I might as well say it directly.""

Martial Arts Academy … It was possible that it no longer had any existing value.

It was said that this time, the list of people selling their country was very long. A large group of people came from the Martial Arts Academy.

And these people were mostly disciples from the selection.

Therefore, you should consider whether or not the academy still exists.

""And what should be considered even more is your own future prospects.""

An Zhan asked, ""You also sent people to look for Nie Qing, right?""

Su Ju said, ""Regarding heaven warping talents like you and Nie Qing, the outside world naturally won"t give up.""

An Zhan shook his head. ""You can leave now. I think … Nie Qing won"t go to the Grand Cauldron Academy either.""

Su Qian frowned slightly, ""Why are all of you so stubborn?""

An Zaihai walked into the room and said without turning his head, ""There must be someone standing there.""
