Chapter Seventy-Three: The Past
Mei Yiyi looked at the disciple in her hand, glanced at Jing Ziyou again, then let go of her hand and threw it on the ground.
The latter fell to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing, before recovering for a while.
"It turned out to be your family's lackey!" Mei Yiyi snorted coldly, "Now you Jing Ziyou finally can't help but stand up?"
"Mei Yiyi, you'd better speak politely, how can our children of the Jing family be insulted like this by you!" Jing Ziyou was also a little angry.
"But I always do some stealing things and touching dogs, how can I insult them?" asked Mei Yiyi rhetorically.
Why bother to look at the child of the Jing family who fell to the ground and looked embarrassed, he thought of Jing Hanqing.
The latter is also a person sent by the Jing family and incognito in the Three University Palaces.
It must be a common practice of the four major families, after all, the three great palaces accept a wide range of disciples, and they can easily blend in.
However, there are probably very few people who want to do it all the way to the selection of successors like Jing Hanqing and this disciple.
After all, the best children of the four major families are still cultivated by the family, and they can be said to be the future hope of the entire family, how could they let them do such a thing since they were young.
Among the four major families, the most thorough in this regard is the Jing family.
As Jing Hanqing said, the Jing family treats the juniors of men and women in the family differently, most of the men will be sent out when they are young, and the family only provides certain resources.
Most of the follow-up cultivation still relies on one's own efforts, and only when one has achieved certain achievements and made enough contributions to the family can he return to the family.
As for the cultivation of women, it is carefully cared for and cultivated, and no woman will ever be sent out to serve the family, until these women are strong enough to take on important responsibilities in the clan.
In this comparison, the women of the Jing family all grew up under the protection of the family, while the men went through different hardships.
Even Jing Ziyou and Jing Siwang, who participated in the selection this time, have had an unknown period of hardship.
So when it was discovered that the person who betrayed Mei Yiyi was from the Jing family, everyone present was not surprised.
Even He Ku, who was not familiar with Wang Cheng, was not surprised by this result.
"Mei Yiyi, the children of our Jing family do things for the family, so it is natural that they should just pass on a little information about your Yingzhu Academy, why is it so angry. Jing Ziyou kept persuading.
"I have naturally learned that you are despicable and shameless, but I am not interested in how you tricked us from the news now, what I want to know is what truth your four major families hid from the incident five years ago!"
"What happened five years ago, in fact, it's not a big secret, the four major families and even the Stygian Academy should have many people who know the real reason. I can tell you, though, I hope you still have your sanity. Jing Ziyou said.
Mei Yiyi didn't speak, but her eyes were red and she looked at him indifferently.
Seeing this, he naturally knew that the current matter had little to do with him, he was just a spectator.
But he was still blocked by everyone and couldn't slip away quietly under the eyelids of so many people, so he had to listen to the excitement in front of him silently.
"The root source of all this starts with the big competition of the four major families five years ago. Jing Ziyou began to slowly recall the events of five years ago.
"Actually, that big competition was not proposed by any of the four major families, but by the Underworld Academy!"
Jing Ziyou's voice fell, and Mei Yiyi's eyes had a look of surprise, how could the competition of the four major families come from the proposal of the Underworld Academy.
Jing Ziyou glanced at Mei Yiyi, seemed to sense the doubts in her heart, and continued to explain: "You should know that there are many factions in the Stygian Academy, and there have always been fierce internal contradictions, and the Great Elder, that is, your maternal grandmother, is a very prestigious person in the entire Academy, but she does not belong to any faction.
Although there were several major factions that were co-opted, none of them persuaded the Great Elder to join any of them. ”
When Mei Yiyi heard about this, as a person from the Underworld Academy, she naturally knew very well that her grandmother did not have much ambition and had always maintained neutrality, watching those factions fight openly and secretly.
Jing Ziyou continued: "Although the Great Elder maintains a neutral attitude, her voice is too great, and several factions cannot get the support of the Great Elder, but she is afraid that she will be snatched away by the rest of the factions.
Since you can't get her support, you can only destroy her. ”
Speaking of this, Mei Yiyi's eyes became fierce, and she also knew that some elders of the Underworld Palace were troublesome to her grandmother from time to time.
"If your grandmother is not in the position of this Great Elder, in fact, it will not attract the jealousy of these factions in the Stygian Academy, although she is a powerhouse in the late stage of the Tateyama Realm, but the faction battle is far less important than the identity of the Great Elder.
Therefore, several major factions are thinking about letting the Great Elder abdicate and elect another Great Elder.
However, the Great Elder thought that his granddaughter who was in the development stage, if you did not have the status of this Great Elder, and did not have the support of any faction, your cultivation resources would inevitably be affected, and in this case, your status in this Immortal Zhu Academy would not be guaranteed.
Therefore, your grandmother did not give up the idea of the high position of the Great Elder at all, and even if several major factions joined forces to force the palace, she did not succeed.
In this way, they can only find the handle of the Great Elder, but the Great Elder has been working diligently for the Stygian Zhu Academy, and there is really no handle for the people of these factions to impeach. ”
Hearing this, Mei Yiyi's expression couldn't help but show a touch of nostalgia, just as Jing Ziyou said, her grandmother is so kind and upright, and she also loves Mei Yiyi very much.
She never thought that her grandmother would bear so much pressure from within the school palace for herself.
Mei Yiyi's parents died when she was a child, and she was taken care of and raised by her grandmother, and it was not until she showed her amazing cultivation talent when she was a teenager that she gained a foothold in the Underworld Academy.
Behind this is naturally the care and love of her grandmother, Mei Yiyi also has a deep affection for her grandmother, in her heart, her grandmother is a perfect existence, is the goal she admires all her life.
Seeing that Mei Yiyi was a little moved, Jing Ziyou couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but still continued: "It is precisely because the Great Elder has done so well that several major factions have set up a bureau, and the most important part of this bureau is you. ”
Hearing this, Mei Yuyi's eyes became cold again.
"Those major factions have found the four major families, ask the four major families to organize a big competition, and then invite you to participate, and hit you hard in the process of the big competition. Jingzi lobbied partly, obviously slowing down the speed of speech, and seemed to be able to feel the anger from Mei Yiyi.
Mei Yiyi finally asked out loud: "Are you willing to be used as a gunman like this?"
"The big factions in the Stygian Academy Palace have made a lot of money, so big that the four major families are all moved. Jing Ziyou explained, "The original plan was also very simple, to lead you into that secret realm, whoever can hit you hard, which family can get that rich reward." ”
"And as long as she can hit you hard, it will definitely anger your grandmother, if she impulsively does something unfavorable to the four major families, the major factions of the Stygian Palace will have a reason to take off her identity, after all, as the great elder of the Academy, the consequences of attacking the four major families are not only for her personally, but also for the Immortal Academy, and this reason is strong enough.
What's more, if the only granddaughter of the Great Elder suffered a loss and was seriously injured, how could she endure it. The major factions thought it was a plan that would happen. ”
Mei Yiyi smiled coldly: "No wonder a group of fools attacked me directly when they saw me, and they all reaped the consequences." ”
Jing Ziyou took a deep breath, as if remembering the tragic incident five years ago: "Indeed, no one can think that you are the biggest variable. Although your reputation was already prosperous at that time, your cultivation was not on par with everyone else, and no one expected that you would hide your strength, and those who preemptively attacked and wanted to take you down alone were abolished by you.
And then the people of the four major families joined forces separately, and they are not your opponents. There were twenty of them, and instead of inflicting heavy losses on you, they wiped out almost all of them.
As a result, the four major families were naturally furious, but the major factions in the Stygian Academy couldn't bear this responsibility, so they had to choose to hand you over to the four major families to deal with.
But the Great Elder disagreed, and although she tried her best, she couldn't protect you in the mouths of everyone in the Stygian Palace. I had to put it forward, and she took the initiative to resign as the Great Elder in exchange for your life.
The major factions of the Stygian Academy Palace are naturally happy to see it happen, but the four major families are not satisfied with this result, and in addition to asking for a large amount of compensation, they also want to abolish your cultivation, otherwise they will not give up. ”
For the latter things, Mei Wanyi already knew most of them in her heart, after all, she was the person who experienced it at that time.
She was able to retreat from that secret realm, thanks to her grandmother's secret method, and her cultivation was stored in a spirit weapon, and then Mei Yiyi was able to borrow it at a critical moment.
It is precisely because of this that she was able to not only not be injured herself, but also abolish all the people in the siege of many people.
And my grandmother resigned as the Great Elder, but she still couldn't get the forgiveness of the four major families, and they insisted on abolishing Mei Yiyi.
Mei Yiyi thought about it and planned to run away, but after escaping, what could she do?
As long as you stay in the Qingyu Continent, sooner or later you will be found by the four major families, in order to calm their anger.
Mei Yuyi's maternal grandmother proposed to abolish her cultivation to calm the anger of the four major families in exchange for Mei Yuyi's safety.
After all, with the strength she has shown, as long as she is willing to cultivate steadily in the future, she will naturally have a better future, after all, five years ago, Mei Yiyi was only twenty years old.
But who would have thought that her grandmother would choose to cut off her heart in the end.
Mei Yiyi thought that her grandmother couldn't accept the fact that she had lost her cultivation, and she could no longer provide shelter for herself, but would become a drag on herself, so she made this extreme decision.
Thinking about it now, I still can't hide the sour feeling in my heart.
"At that time, the Great Elder proposed to exchange his cultivation for your cultivation, and the four major families agreed, after all, the Stygian Zhu Academy Palace also suffered a great loss, but on the same day, after the four major families witnessed your grandmother's self-abolition of cultivation, the news of your grandmother's murder came on the second day, and you were also expelled from the royal city. Several major factions in the Underworld Academy sent people to inform them, so that the four major families could unify their voices, saying that this was your instruction, and then paid a good reward, which is the beginning and end of the whole thing. ”
Jing Ziyou breathed a long sigh of relief, he could be regarded as finished, but fortunately, Mei Yuyi did not break out.
But after hearing Jing Ziyou's last words, Mei Yiyi's heart was very uneasy, her face became more and more ugly, and she roared angrily: "Killed? Could it be that my grandmother didn't cut off her heart?!"
