Liang Xun raised his head, looked directly at the Grand Tutor, and said, word by word, "Nian, Xi, and Ling, the three agents, is my Great Yan really unable to tolerate them?"

Miss Nian has a fiery temper, yet she forges weapons to defend our Great Yan Army. Although she is somewhat unruly, she has never done anything to harm the people.

Miss Xi was of a tranquil nature. She traveled throughout the land, enlightening the people of Great Yan. Immersed in the art of painting, she created masterpieces for many literati and artists of Great Yan, enriching the cultural landscape of Great Yan.

Miss Ling is free-spirited and natural. During her stay in Shang Shu, natural disasters in Shang Shu subsided, protecting the livelihoods of the people of Great Yan!

Grand Tutor! When the people of our Great Yan commit a mistake, there is no punishment for collective punishment. Does the court intend to expel all agents simply because there are a few criminals among them?

"Praise and punishment should not be based on favoritism or prejudice. Since the agent is not an evildoer, why should our Great Yan Dynasty be so wary and defensive?"

The Grand Tutor remained calm, his hands behind his back as he looked at Liang Xun and asked:

"Prefect Liang, in what capacity did you make these remarks?"

Without hesitation, Liang Xun knelt on one knee, cupped his hands above his head, and said loudly:

"Liang Xun, as the Prefect of Shangshu, hereby pleads with the Grand Tutor on behalf of the people!"

Chapter 864 The Art of Hugging Thighs

Taihe and Ning Ciqiu looked at the two people in front of them nervously.

When Liang Xun and the Grand Tutor brought up the topic of the people of the Great Yan, even if they wanted to stop them, they dared not interrupt them.

Seeing that Liang Xun was going all out, Ning Ciqiu was extremely anxious, fearing that Liang Xun's words would anger the Grand Tutor.

While feeling nervous, Taihe secretly sighed that Liang Xun had acted somewhat impulsively.

Before he went to Shangshu, he had inquired about Liang Xun's personality and knew that he was a stubborn person, but he really did not expect that he would be so stubborn as to dare to face the Grand Tutor and say such openly rebellious words.

The Grand Tutor looked down at Liang Xun, who was kneeling before him, without speaking, and instead turned his gaze to Ning Ciqiu.

"Minister Ning, what are your thoughts?"

The Grand Tutor's tone remained calm as he inquired.

Ning Ciqiu gritted her teeth and knelt down beside Liang Xun:

"Ning Ciqiu, in his capacity as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, hereby pleads with the Grand Tutor on behalf of the people!"

The Grand Tutor nodded, then looked at Taihe: "And you?"

When the situation suddenly turned in her own hands, Taihe's expression froze for a moment, then she knelt down:

"I will follow the instructions of the Grand Tutor."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor suddenly chuckled, and then his laughter grew louder and louder until it turned into a somewhat unrestrained and wild laugh.

Taihe and the other two looked up, somewhat puzzled.

The Grand Tutor's laughter abruptly stopped, and he reached out to help Liang Xun and Ning Ciqiu up.

"It is truly a blessing for Great Yan to have two officials serving in the court."

"Grandmaster..."

A look of joy appeared on Liang Xun's face, and he wanted to speak, but the Grand Tutor shook his head to stop him:

"Lord Liang, that's enough. We can discuss the rest in detail after this matter is over."

After helping the two of them up, he nodded to Taihe and said, "You can get up too."

Taihe stood up with a somewhat bitter expression.

He felt that he might have just missed a tremendous opportunity.

Clinging to someone's powerful backer is an art; a slight misstep and that person might be kicked away in disgust.

The Grand Tutor paid little attention to Taihe's thoughts at that moment. He turned back to look at the colossal beast before him, and with a flick of his sleeve, he...

"Let's disperse. To continue this entanglement would be a poor choice."

With a wave of the Grand Tutor's sleeve, the colors of heaven and earth faded, and the once clear year markers gradually blurred. Along with them, the devastated Shang Shu also vanished.

When Liang Xun's vision returned to normal, he found himself in an exquisite courtyard with the Grand Tutor and others.

Besides Ning Ciqiu and the Grand Tutor, Bai Tianshi and Zuo Le, including the injured Master Shen, were also in the group.

Among them, Master Bai and Master Shen's injuries did not disappear with the dissipation of the illusion, and the two of them became the most disheveled people present.

"Master Bai Tian, ​​you've worked hard." The Grand Tutor nodded to Master Bai Tian.

Bai Tianshi quickly cupped his hands in thanks: "I dare not, it is all thanks to the Grand Tutor for breaking this illusion."

The Grand Tutor then turned to look at the pale-faced Master Shen and praised him:

"Floating Duckweed Rain Master, Shen Lou, I have long admired your great names. Meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed a great hero, dedicated to the country and its people. I admire you greatly."

"This humble subject dares not."

Master Shen was clearly frightened by the Grand Tutor's words and attitude, and hurriedly bowed.

The Grand Tutor waved his hand, indicating that such formalities were unnecessary, and turned to look at the house in the courtyard:

"Next, we should meet the instigator of this farce."

He led the way and pushed open the front door.

The group of people behind them quickly followed and entered the house together.

Subsequently, everyone, including the Grand Tutor, was stunned by the scene before them.

Inside the room, Chen held Chi Xiao with a helpless expression, unable to get involved at all. At her feet lay an old carp, while in front of her, another old carp was wrestling with Qi Yan on the ground.

Each of them held a white piece in their hand, trying their best to protect their own while desperately trying to snatch a white piece from the other's hand. They were clearly using all their strength, and their faces were red from the struggle.

These two strongest players on the field actually put on a childlike fighting display based on their skill alone.

Seeing someone else come in, Qi Yan forcefully pressed down the hand that was scratching his face, and shouted with his head up:

"Someone come quick! Old Man Sui has gone mad!"

The Grand Tutor's face twitched. He wanted to take the opportunity to step forward and give Wang Lai a good beating while he was down, but considering his status, he forcibly suppressed his impulse and did not make any move.

Seeing that the Grand Tutor hadn't moved, the others quickly put their eyes down and pretended to be stupid.

Wang Ke didn't have Qi Yan's thick skin. Seven-tenths of his flushed face was due to overexertion, and the remaining three-tenths was because of Chen's onlookers.

With so many people gathering to watch, he immediately felt the urge to leave.

"Qi Yan, let's each hold one piece and call it a day, shall we?" Wang swallowed his anger and made a concession.

"You're thinking shit!"

Qi Yan pointed at the white chess piece in Wang's hand that displayed Du Yaoye's illusion and said angrily, "Such a good script is a waste in your hands, give it to me!"

"Are you letting me use this to continue cheating?" Wang Ye said angrily. "You're the one who can't play the game. You realized that these people couldn't see through the illusion, so you personally stepped in to give them pointers. Don't you even abide by the rules you set?"

"My rules are my rules, don't force me!" Qi Yan clenched his fist and gestured in front of his eyes.

Even if you beat me to death today and throw me out to feed that monster outside, I won't accept it!

Wang stood there, neck stiff, refusing to budge an inch.

"Good good!"

Qi Yan, enraged, laughed and said "good" three times in a row, then suddenly withdrew and stopped the struggle with Wang.

Then, seeing the bewildered look in his eyes, he clasped his hands together and spoke without a second thought:

"I hope you don't understand love~ My brother's fist will come down~"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Numerous screams mingled together, and everyone inside the room was struck as if by lightning, their faces contorted in agony.

Bai Tianshi and Shen Shifu, who were already injured, swayed and fell to their knees.

At the critical moment, Chen seized the opportunity when Qi Yan took a breath, and with his head still heavy with sleep, rushed forward and shoved the scabbard of the Crimson Cloud Blade into Qi Yan's mouth.

The singing stopped abruptly.

As everyone recovered from their ordeal, they looked up with relief.

The gaze of the person facing Qi Yange was somewhat dazed, and the white piece that was tightly clutched in their hand fell away. The next second, Qi Lin, along with the figures of Du Yaoye and his daughter and Shang Zhong, leaped out from that white piece.

Du Yaoye and the other two landed, while Qi Lin covered her ears with both hands and flew over without touching the ground, kicking Qi Yan hard in the shin.

Qi Yan let out a strange cry, and the white piece in his hand also fell to the ground.

The figure of Wuyou was thrown out of it, and kissed the earth with its face.

Qi Lin released her hands from her ears, her two white wolf ears twitched, and her little face tightened as she said:

"If you dare to sing again, I'll... ignore you for a minute!"

"No, no, no, I was wrong."

Qi Yan quickly admitted his mistake, raising four fingers to the sky: "I swear to heaven, I'll definitely let you know in advance next time I sing."

Qi Lin snorted coldly and turned her face away, too lazy to look at him.

Seeing this, Qi Yan quickly grabbed his younger sister's clothes, shook his head and wagged his tail, and blinked pitifully.

As he was contemplating whether to lift his shirt and expose his belly to beg for forgiveness, Chen had already placed his hand on his shoulder:

"Stop fooling around, let's deal with the important matters first."

Chen gestured with his chin toward Wang, who was lying limp and powerless on the ground, indicating that the culprit who had caused this chaos was still there.

Qi Yan curled his lip and waved to the people inside the room, saying:

"What else can we do? This thing is just lying here. Let's settle our scores and grievances. Don't give me, Qi Xiaobai, any face."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately fell upon Wang.

Wang's body trembled uncontrollably.

Chapter 865 The Debate on Merits and Demerits, the Distinction Between Right and Wrong

Wang struggled for a couple of moments like a salted fish before finally managing to sit up.

Instead of going back to find a chair to maintain his composure, he sat directly on the ground, facing the Grand Tutor and the others, with a somewhat self-deprecating air.

"Since things have come to this, I have nothing more to say. What grudge do you have against me... no, what grudge do I have against you?"

Wang suddenly realized halfway through his sentence: "My game of chess with the Grand Tutor did cause some trouble, but what does that have to do with the rest of you?"

Liang Xun and the others were all prepared, but Wang Leng's sudden question caught them all off guard.

Only the Grand Tutor silently frowned.

As someone who had been in contact with Wang before, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with Wang's current state.

His tone of voice, his style of doing things, and even his body language are completely different from before.

It's as if... he's become another Qi Yan!

The old carp, who had been stunned by Qi Yan's chess piece, slowly regained consciousness. After quickly assessing the situation, he immediately warned, "He's learning from Qi Yan!"

A look of realization flashed across the Grand Tutor's eyes: "You've started again, Wang."

Wang remained calm after Lao Li pointed out his mistake, even giving a carefree smile:

"I've never stopped, Grand Tutor. Even Qi Yan himself has never cared. What can you say?"

Qi Yan slapped Chen's hand off his shoulder and said nonchalantly:

"Let him learn. The day he finishes his studies will be the day he dies suddenly."

"Oh? What do you mean?" The Grand Tutor raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Even Wang couldn't help but show a look of inquiry.

Qi Yan said calmly, "He doesn't have my skills, but he tries to imitate my way of speaking and acting. He's bound to get beaten to death."

This self-aware answer successfully silenced everyone in the room.

Please remain quiet. Silently get up, straighten your clothes, return to the table, and put the overturned chair and chessboard back in their places. Then sit down, wave your hand, and cast a shadow over your face.

At this moment, the hope that the Grand Tutor knew returned once again.
