Chapter 63: See the Dean
Under the ruthless leadership of Ning, the two soon came to an ancient mansion, which was not in the Dao Courtyard, but near the north of Youtian City. Maybe it's not as prosperous as the central area, but absolutely no one dares to make trouble here. As the capital of the Youtian Domain, the central area is still the city lord's mansion and a bustling commercial street, but this north of the city is the most important and powerful place in the entire Youtian Domain. Because this is the political center of the Nether Heaven Domain, the area where the domain lord discusses and lives. Being able to live in the north of the city is enough to show the great power of human rights that will be seen later.
But when he arrived at the door of the ancient mansion, Ning Wuru stood still, refusing to move forward, just looking at the door of the house with a complicated expression, stunned. Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Chen Yuan handed over a questioning look. After a while, Ning ruthlessly said with a wry smile: "I have always had a knot in my heart all these years, originally when I learned that Xiaobai was not dead, I thought I could let go, but when I got here, I found that I still couldn't do it." You go in, the owner of this ancient mansion is my teacher, or the former teacher, who is now the helmsman of the Heavenly Dao Academy. You can explain your intentions to him and ask for the help of the academy, with the support of the academy, the task of rescuing Xiaobai will be much easier. ”
"I've roughly heard what Teacher Dong Yu said about you, and frankly speaking, from the perspective of the Taoist Academy and even the whole region, I don't think the dean has done anything wrong. Chen Yuan stood behind Ning Ruthless and said calmly.
"I don't understand what Xiaobai and I have done wrong! Why do you treat us like this? We have done our best to cultivate talents for the academy, and in the end I watched my wife die in front of me. If you hadn't told me today that my wife hadn't died, I would probably have spent the rest of my life in despair and self-blame!I just want to know why!" Ning Wuru roared with some excitement, mentioning the past, the heartbreaking of the past is still vivid, as if it was just yesterday. This made his emotions that he had managed to calm down again.
Chen Yuan glanced at Ning Wuru, who was a little out of control, shook his head with some sympathy and said, "It seems that you haven't recognized your heart until now. I don't know if you realize it yourself, but you didn't contradict my words. When I said that I agreed with the dean's approach, you did not refute it, but told about your own tragic experience with Luo Xiaobai.
What does this mean? It means that even if you don't want to admit it, you agree with this in your heart! You know in your heart that if the Dean doesn't do this, what will happen to the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Heavenly Domain! War, chaos, bloodshed, killing, displacement, family ruin. These words will become the main theme of the Nether Heaven Domain, even the Yantian Domain, and even the entire Nine Heavens.
Is it because the dean didn't agree that you and Luo Xiaobai should be together? Or did the entire Taoist Academy not agree to you being together? No! The dean helped you hide Luo Xiaobai's true identity, and the teachers and students of the Taoist Academy were indignant at what happened to you! I heard Teacher Dong Yu say that a large number of talented and capable teachers and students complained about what happened to you and left the academy, and the emotions given to you by these people did not awaken your silent heart. It was you who closed yourself off and froze yourself along with your feelings and honor for the Heavenly Dao Academy. ”
Ning Wuru moved his lips, as if he was about to say something, but was directly interrupted by Chen Yuan. "Don't be in a hurry to deny it, if you have been completely disappointed in the Youtian Dao Academy, then why are you still staying in the Youtian Dao Academy all these years? If you are so disappointed in your teacher, or even hateful, then why do you first think of seeking the help of the dean when you have the opportunity to see your wife again? As I said earlier, you don't recognize your own heart, and what you call the knot is actually the cage you use to imprison and punish yourself, because you feel sorry for your wife, that's all. Chen Yuan looked at Ning Ruthless with clear eyes, Ning Ruthless's heart wavered, he knew that what Chen Yuan said was right, but he didn't want to admit it.
"I didn't expect it! The old man has not been able to untie the stubborn knot of my disciple for so many years, and he was shaken by a young man's words, which is really terrifying!" As he spoke, the door of the ancient mansion opened, and an old but tall figure walked out of the house.
"Teacher!" Ning ruthlessly threw himself on his knees, looking at the old man who was much older than five years ago, Ning ruthlessly couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. The old man had no children under his knees, and he was raised as a son all these years. As soon as Luo Xiaobai's matter came out, there was a huge rift in the relationship between Ning Wuru and the old man. Ning ruthlessly and stubbornly thought that it was the task issued by the old man that killed Luo Xiaobai, and it was the old man who betrayed him, and he refused to see the old man for five years. Now that he learned that Luo Xiaobai was not dead, in Chen Yuan's words, Ning Wuru finally recognized his heart and understood the helplessness of the old man.
"The disciple is not filial, he has been obsessed for five years and can't extricate himself, and I hope the teacher will punish him!" Ning ruthlessly kowtowed to the old man three times, thinking of the loneliness of these old people, because of the criticism suffered by the events of the year, and the heavy responsibility that pressed on the old man's shoulders to revitalize the entire Taoist Academy, Ning ruthlessly cried silently.
"Hurry up!" the old man pulled up Ning Wuru, who was kneeling on the ground, and only then did Chen Yuan see the old man's appearance clearly. The old man's outfit is not gorgeous, and can even be described as plain. Ordinary gray robes and cloth shoes, there are no particularly valuable jewelry pendants, only a milky white jade pendant hanging around the waist, the whole person does not have a particularly outstanding feeling, just like an ordinary old man next door.
However, unlike the ordinary old man, there are no obvious traces of time on the old man's face, only the gray hair and the white beard with a half foot on the chin show the old man's age. And the most attractive thing is the old man's eyes, not as turbid as the old man, but incomparably deep, a pair of eyes as if containing the stars and rivers, a side of heaven and earth. It's not bright, but it's hard to look at.
"Ruthless, who is this kid?" asked the old man after pulling Ning Ruthless up. "Mu Chenyuan, a newly admitted student of the Military Palace, has seen the dean. Before Ning could ruthlessly speak, Chen Yuan took the initiative to salute the old man.
"Teacher, Chen Yuan told me that Xiaobai is not dead yet. We are here to discuss with you to rescue Xiaobai. Ning added ruthlessly. The old man was shocked, his eyes widened and he asked, "Is this ······ Is this true?" "Is it true······" Ning Wuru immediately explained to the old man, and it took about a quarter of an hour for Ning Wuru to tell the old man the ins and outs of the matter completely.
After a while, the old man sighed: "The world is really full of wonders, I didn't expect that the Han Yan clan to which Luo Xiaobai belongs has such a miraculous skill, which can be called a life-saving magic skill." After sighing, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he said to Chen Yuan: "Old man Guo Rui, you have been in charge of the Youtian Dao Academy for more than 30 years, and the original intention of the establishment of the Dao Academies of each domain is to resist foreign races, so you, a visitor from outside the world, do not belong to my Nine Heavens Domain, and I will take you down now to benefit the Youtian Domain!"
Ning Wuru was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Teacher, no! He came here to help me, and he didn't do anything to endanger the heavens!" But Chen Yuan was very calm, and said a little helplessly: "Why should Lord Dean joke with us, if you want to kill me or arrest me, you don't have to talk nonsense with me with your cultivation." So you don't have to put on a lustful look to test me, I'm really here to help your disciple, I just want to find my way home and make some friends in this world by the way. ”
The dean was stunned, he didn't expect this kid to see through his intentions at a glance. Then he laughed a few times with embarrassment, and beckoned Chen Yuan and Ning Wuru to enter the ancient mansion and discuss in detail the relevant matters related to rescuing Luo Xiaobai.
