"Three elders, you haven't known City Lord Xiao for a day or two, you should know better than me what he is like! According to you, is he the kind of person who is afraid of danger and power?" Dao Yuan did not answer directly, but asked the three of them.

"This ......" Zuo Xinyuan said in wonder: "It's because his approach today is different from the past, so I don't understand it! When the former courtyard master was here, he had a lot of communication with Xiao City Lord, and with my many years of understanding, his behavior this time is indeed very different!"

Liu Buzhou sneered: "People are all subject to change! People who are in power are even more so after a long time! People want to protect themselves, and this is also a very normal thing!"

Lei Luo said: "Elder Liu, could it be that City Lord Xiao choked you just now, which made you angry!"

Liu Buzhou glared and said, "Nonsense!"

Dao Yuan stopped Lei Luo and continued: "When I say this, it is not without purpose. The three of you, please think about it, if the Xiao City Lord took someone out at that time and forced the three family masters to tell the truth, do you think he would admit it?"

Zuo Xinyuan said: "Needless to say, it definitely won't!"

"So City Lord Xiao didn't take people, otherwise, the two sides would be tantamount to tearing their faces. Not to mention that he is the head of the city to handle it impartially, in the absence of evidence, the Chen family will not bow down, once the other party's family knows, they will definitely come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but this matter will not be able to be cleaned up. If there is no evidence, it is equivalent to being untenable in theory, I think, it is not that Lord Xiao doesn't want to arrest people, but he just doesn't want to give the other party a false excuse. ”

"Moreover, as the parties concerned, the Chen family will definitely not let it go easily, although they may not be able to do it openly, but it is very likely to hire some outlaws to sneak attack secretly, judging from the style of the three family masters, it can already be seen. ”

Dao Yuan frowned: "If the Martial Academy decays or even dissolves because of this, wouldn't it still live up to the expectations of the courtyard master! I think that it is precisely because of this that the Xiao City Lord did not interrogate anyone, he is a close friend of the courtyard master, how can he not understand the wish of the courtyard master!"

Li Wenqi said a little manicly: "Then what should I do? Could it be that the master of the courtyard died in vain?!"

"Now that the only witness, Yu Heng, is dead, at least for now, we can't do anything about them!" Zuo Xinyuan sighed, his voice full of unwillingness.

Dao Yuan looked at them, and said: "Please rest assured, let me leave this matter to me, the junior assures you that the master of the courtyard will never die in vain! Sooner or later, I will pay for the murderer's blood debt and blood to comfort the soul of the master in the sky!"

Liu Buzhou snorted: "To put it lightly, once they leave here, then we will lose the home advantage, and when they return to the first city, it will be easy to talk about it......! You don't seem to be anyone's match at all......

Lei Luo squinted his eyes and said, "Elder Liu, if you are not an opponent now, it doesn't mean that you will never be an opponent in the future! Boss, how much time has he had since he started cultivating until now? Not to mention Cloud City, even if there are a few geniuses from the past and present who are like this? Although the Chen family is powerful, it is not invincible. ”

The three of them were all moved, and they were amazed in their hearts, they hadn't thought of it before, but now they suddenly woke up after being reminded by Lei Luo. In just a few months, they had gone from ordinary people cultivating to the Void Refining Primal Realm, such a speed against the sky, at least among the modern young geniuses they knew, although it could not be said to be unique, it was definitely rare, very few!

Especially Liu Buzhou, his face changed uncertainly, and he was slightly embarrassed. On that day, Dao Yuan came to the martial arts academy for the exam, that is, he listened to Lu Qianshan's words and blocked Dao Yuan from the gate, but he didn't expect that now that the peak is turning, this young man has become the successor designated by the academy master, and his cultivation talent is comparable to that of a demon, and when he thinks of this, his attitude is even more unnatural.

Zuo Xinyuan looked at Dao Yuan and said solemnly: "Only now do I have to admit that it turns out that the master of the sea courtyard is really discerning! Although you are young, you are really more suitable than us to be the master of the courtyard!"

"Elder Zuo is too modest, the junior said, I will not be the master of this courtyard! The three of you are not only profound in cultivation, but also rich in experience, no matter who is the master of the academy, you are much stronger than me. And I still have my own things to do, and I can't live in one place forever, so this matter still has to fall on the three of them. Dao Yuan said seriously: "But don't worry, I will still do what I promised the master of the sea academy to go to the first martial academy, but what the result is, the juniors are not good to boast about, but I will do my best." ”

He said it very plainly, without the slightest sense of pretentiousness, perhaps it was this that made the three of them admire it from the bottom of their hearts.

Zuo Xinyuan hugged his fists with some gratitude and said: "Anyway, for today's events, Zuo still needs you a word of thanks!"

Dao Yuan knew his intentions, and said with a slight smile: "Elder Zuo doesn't have to be polite, we are our own people, aren't we?"

"Haha, with your words, the old man is relieved!" Zuo Xinyuan laughed heartily.

Liu Buzhou hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, walked in front of him, and bent down to salute: "Liu has offended a lot before, please don't be surprised!"

Dao Yuan hurriedly returned the salute: "Elder Liu's words are serious, the juniors don't take it to heart at all, you don't need to do this." ”

Zuo Xinyuan groaned: "We can't help but listen to the words of the Sea Courtyard Master, since he has appointed you to be the next Courtyard Master, then we have no reason and will not oppose it again." But since you have no intention of doing this now, then the Martial Academy will be temporarily managed by the three of us, and we will be waiting for you when you finish your own affairs one day. What do you think?"

The last sentence was naturally said to Liu Buzhou and Li Wenqi.

"I'm okay with that. Li Wenqi nodded.

Liu Buzhou smiled bitterly: "He went to the first city for our martial arts academy, from this point of view, even if he is a meritorious minister, not to mention that there is the last words of the lord of the sea courtyard in front of him, so ...... I don't have much to say. ”

Dao Yuan wanted to refrain again, but after thinking about it, since he had already made up his mind, why bother talking too much, speaking of which, the unrestrained life of Xianyun Yehe was suitable for him.

......

......

Time passed, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Early this morning, Dao Yuan had just gotten up, and Zuo Xinyuan came to him.

"So early, is there anything wrong with Elder Zuo?"

Zuo Xinyuan said: "In the past few days, I have arranged the affairs of the Martial Academy, since the master of the academy is not there, there are many things that have been squeezed down, and the two elders Liu and Li have been busy until yesterday, and finally they are almost busy." ”

Dao Yuan was a little embarrassed: "I don't know much about these things, so I ......"

Zuo Xinyuan waved his hand: "It's all trivial things, you can't intervene, it's still important to cultivate." Now that the day of the First Martial Arts Academy exam is very close, the time on the light road will be about two months, I think, after this matter, you can leave. ”

Dao Yuan didn't react for a while, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Of course, it's a matter of proposing!" Zuo Xinyuan sighed: "Now that the courtyard master is no longer here, as a great elder, I naturally want to take over this matter, whether it is to the courtyard master or to you, it can be regarded as an explanation." ”

Dao Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "I haven't seen Rou'er for a long time, I think I should say goodbye to her before leaving." ”

......

......

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Bufan stood under a huge paulownia tree, holding a letter in his hand, looking at it silently, in the dense shade, his face was a little heavy and reluctant. After leaning less, he slowly put the letter away and sighed slightly.

"Brother Xiao, why are you sighing here early in the morning?"

Xiao Bufan turned to look at the old man who came over, and asked rhetorically, "Is there anything wrong with the second family master so early?"

"Hehe, naturally it's still Ling Yan's family. The second head of the family smiled: "I have been waiting for more than a few days to come, so I naturally want to report the good news to my brother earlier, I don't know...... What is Brother Xiao thinking?"

"What, Brother Ling is in a hurry?"

"There is no such thing as not being in a hurry, I think, he should be eager to see through. ”

Seeing that he frowned slightly, the second head of the family smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Xiao might as well say it directly, is there anything unspeakable?"

Xiao Bufan said: "That's not it, it's just that I think it's not too late to ask Elder Zuo to come." ”

The two heads of the family rolled their eyes: "The old man doesn't understand, please make Brother Xiao clearer." ”

At this moment, Feng Bolai reported: "Master, the three elders of the Yunxiao Martial Academy and Dao Yuan have come here, and they are now in the hall. ”

"It's a good time. The corners of Xiao Bufan's mouth twitched: "Two family masters, let's go together." ”
