"Did he flee inside, did he chase him?" The two of them stopped when they saw Zhao Yulong running into the mist, not daring to take another half step.

"I think it's better to forget it! After all, it's so mysterious that no one who goes in will ever come out alive, and the only one who comes out is the corpse that was washed out by the river there, so I don't think we have to take such a big risk. One of them replied with encouragement, hiding his fear, and pretending to be calm.

"But the task above is for us to kill this kid, and now we can't be sure of his life and death, how can we deal with it? Do you want to lie to them that this kid is dead? If the kid survives, we'll be finished!" said his companion with a shudder, and it seemed that they were more afraid of the Academy's punishment than the unknown danger.

"Don't worry! In this fog, even the assessment order can't bring him out, how can he survive? But you reminded me that this kid can achieve such things at such an age, and there must be something extraordinary in himself, so it is really possible to come out. The man stroked his beard and thought about it.

But he quickly decided: "I don't think so, we went out and told the truth that this kid had run into the depths of here, and they must have known the danger and would not trouble us." ”

"Well, it looks like that's all there is to it now, after all, it's really impossible to get out after entering, and they really won't do anything to us in this way, after all, we still have some status. Seeing that he was right, he reached an agreement with him, so he crushed the token in his hand first.

When his companion saw that he had gone out, he also crushed the token and left the realm.

The conference room of Tongtian Academy, where there were several people at this time. The strongest of them is the acting dean of the academy today, and now the dean and the vice dean are in retreat, so now his power is the greatest in the entire academy.

Now he was full of anger and said, "I remember I said that I must not let that kid live, but there are still people among us who have to remind him, I want you to explain why this is Elder Ding?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Elder Ding with eyes that wanted to kill, and following his gaze, several other elders also looked over.

This is an old man who looks more kind, his face always has a kind color that makes people feel very good to talk, if Zhao Yulong is present, he will definitely recognize this Elder Ding as the old man who helped him before.

Now that this Elder Ding was asked like this, he also understood his danger, he definitely didn't expect that he would be heard by others and report to the acting dean just a simple reminder.

However, now that these words have reached the ears of the acting dean, it is useless to cover it up himself, so Elder Ding no longer conceals it and says it directly and frankly: "I am not against removing the hidden dangers of the future of the imperial kingdom, but I don't understand why you want to implicate other people?"

If Zhao Yulong was present and heard this, he would definitely feel very chilled, because the only old man in the high-level who felt that he was a good person also wanted to kill him, just because he was not the blood of the royal family.

However, his thoughts Zhao Yulong can naturally understand, after all, he is also a member of the royal family, although he is a relative, after all, blood is thicker than water, so everything must be thought towards the position of the royal family.

Although he shows that he is a genius, he is not a member of the royal family after all, and he will definitely pose a threat to the royal family in the future, so it seems that he should indeed be eliminated.

And even if the elder is not as narrow-minded as the others, there are some things he can't control. After all, he doesn't have any power, and it will inevitably be a little uneconomical to harm himself in order to keep himself as an outsider.

After all, he doesn't have any friendship with him, and he doesn't need to take risks for himself, so in this case, Mingzhe is the best choice, so Zhao Yulong can still understand this.

So he reminded a few words for a person he didn't know, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, but he can't help himself.

However, compared to reminding Zhao Yulong before, it is even more dangerous for him to be able to say this now, after all, this is admitting that he is helping outsiders!

"That's it! Anyway, we've already sent a few elders to hunt him down, and he won't survive, so as for his friends, they should stay behind to help him collect the corpses! As for you, you didn't bother with any mistakes this time, so I don't need to deal with you with school rules. ”

Hearing the acting dean say this, Elder Ding knew that he should be fine, so he hurriedly said: "Dean Pu is really kind-hearted!

These big people seem to have a habit of never saying a word at once that makes it difficult to guess: "But don't be too happy, this capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!"

This punishment Elder Ding naturally knows, after all, as the authority of the current academy, he naturally wants to stand up in front of people, although Elder Ding's identity is not simple, he doesn't dare to kill at will, but the punishment still has to be there, otherwise who in the entire academy will obey him?

"The old man is indeed wrong this time, and I voluntarily accept the dean's punishment, but can you tell me what you are going to punish me for? Elder Ding saw that the acting dean did not dare to kill him, and seemed to have some scruples about his identity, so he became bold.

"You!" These words really made the acting dean lose face, and now he already had some thoughts of wanting to kill Elder Ding, but after thinking about it for a while, he still held back, after all, this Elder Ding's identity is really special.

So after soothing his temper a bit, he said in a half-warning and half-flattering tone: "Elder Ding is the emperor's childhood playmate, I naturally don't dare to offend, but don't forget that the emperor is going to Zen throne, don't talk nonsense about some things, otherwise it will not be good to offend people!"

Then he suddenly said solemnly: "But you are indeed old, and this half-buried bone is indeed unable to do physical work, so I don't think it is better to do this!

The position of this Hundred Books Pavilion was originally an idle one, although it was said that the books were sorted out, but after all, there were some disciples who were sorting them out for merit, so in fact, they would not bother the elders here at all.

The elder who sat here was actually very relaxed, and his job was to record the merits of his disciples and borrow books.

Although it may not seem easy on the surface, in fact, it is a very idle position. After all, unlike the bookstores outside, the books here are not just ordinary books.

After all, the people gathered here are all geniuses, so it is natural to provide them with suitable resources, and these books are also part of the resources, so he will naturally become unusual.

Because these books are actually some high-level combat skills or puppet crafting techniques, or some body techniques.

These things are not something that can be memorized after reading them once, so it naturally takes a lot of time to comprehend them. And the time given by the academy is long, and it can be borrowed for half a year, so naturally these disciples will watch it for half a year and then return it regardless of whether they learn it or not.

In addition, the merits in this academy are actually not very easy to earn, so there are only a few disciples who enter and leave the academy every day, so naturally this has become an idle position.

And even more importantly for the elders, because there are so many books here, there are also books that adapt to their strengthening or prolonging life. And for an elder of the Hundred Book Pavilion, these books are completely free to read, and he can read them for as long as he wants, which is simply a beautiful difference.

Now the acting dean actually used the word 'punishment' to arrange him here, in fact, he was thinking that he would try it or use it as hush money for what he had just said, after all, the emperor had not yet given way.

Although it was true that his age was not long before he died, it was still dangerous for him to say this while he was alive, especially if Elder Ding, a close confidant of the emperor, heard it next to him.

Therefore, it was not only to establish authority in front of people, but also to let Elder Ding keep his mouth shut and not tell the emperor this.

As the saying goes, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", this Elder Ding has survived in front of the emperor for so many years, and his heart is naturally very deep, so of course he can hear that the acting dean is showing favor to himself.

Although he didn't like this man either, he accepted the benefit. Because to be honest, although he does have the emperor now, he is not the royal family of his destiny after all, but a person who was friendly with the emperor when he was a child and was canonized.

So his status is naturally not very high, and maybe there is still the emperor to support him, but after all, as the acting dean said, the emperor has been in power for decades, and he is indeed not far from death.

So now he is in the era of the alternation of the old and new emperors, so Elder Ding naturally understands that his era is coming to an end, so sometimes he really has to pressure himself.

Moreover, this Baishu Pavilion is indeed the place where Elder Ding wants to go, after all, he is indeed the place where he has encountered a bottleneck, if he can find a book in the Baishu Pavilion to remind himself of himself, it is indeed a good thing to break through the bottleneck and prolong his life.

So he readily agreed: "Okay, then I will receive this favor from Dean Pu, and I accept this punishment." ”

This made the acting dean a little embarrassed, although this Elder Ding understood what he meant, but this appreciation was too obvious! In this way, how could he establish his majesty in front of these elders, but he was also a person who would hide himself, so he still smiled and said: "Well, since the matter of punishment has been said, then let's all go down! We are still waiting for the good news that the kid was killed." ”

Elder Nading didn't seem to want to stay any longer, and before he could finish speaking, he left first: "Then the old man will take his leave first! After all, these books can't be left unattended. ”

Although Elder Ding's current actions were just too anxious to find the book, this was not the case in the eyes of different people.

In the eyes of those elders, this Elder Ding completely looked contemptuous of this acting dean. And the dean thought that this Elder Ding still wanted to help Zhao Yulong, an outsider, after all, the bloodline in his body was not from the royal family, and it seemed reasonable to help outsiders.

However, he couldn't say it directly, and now he secretly scolded in his heart: "If you don't die, you can drag it! When this old emperor dies, I see where you came from! Even the future emperor doesn't know what he knots and still wants to live in this world, and he feels ridiculous when he says it!"

It's not just the acting dean who thinks so, in fact, everyone present thinks so.

After all, the old emperor's body is about to die, and this future must be the world of his heirs, so in their opinion, as long as they have a good relationship with each prince, they will definitely have a broad world in the future.

And now this Elder Ding doesn't know how to befriend these princes, and all of them have become fools in their eyes.

"How's it going, Elder Ding, how is this meeting, can that powerful young man be saved?" Elder Ding was walking out of the courtyard gate when he was stopped by a familiar voice.

He hurriedly looked back and found that this was the third prince Li Yuhan, so he was respectful. Although he had a good relationship with the emperor, the gap in status still made him have to bow his head to this boy who was nearly a hundred years younger than himself.

"This ...... You also know that that young man will naturally be a great threat to you when he grows up in the future, so it is naturally impossible for him to live. Moreover, the Eighth Prince also gave an order to kill him, how could the minister be able to keep him? And forgive the old minister for taking the liberty of it, why did the third prince suddenly ask the old minister this question?"

"That's because I think he is very talented, and if he can be used by me in the future, he will definitely help me win the throne in the battle of several brothers, so I naturally want to keep him!"

Speaking of this, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes: "You said before that this was the order of the Eighth Prince, so you can't keep it, right? So do you think what I said has some effect? Or does what he say have some weight?"

As the saying goes, "When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk about ghosts." Because the person in front of him was used by the three princes, Elder Ding naturally didn't dare to say that the other princes were good, although each prince now had the same power, but he still said: "Naturally, it is the third prince! I believe that the three princes will definitely be able to keep that young man, so the old minister is here to thank the prince instead of that young man!"

"Well, you are quite acquainted, and you deserve to be a celebrity next to my father!" After admiring himself, he continued: "Okay, I'll do this myself, you go down first!"

"Obey the order!" To be honest, although this Elder Ding did not have any communication with Zhao Yulong, after all, it was a pity that such a person was indeed dead in his opinion, but he didn't have much power to protect him.

So now that these three princes want to keep him, it is naturally a good thing, so he feels happy in his heart.
