Lin Fan's Backing

Lin Fan's face turned red as he pointed directly at Mo Yunxuan and roared in anger, His ferocious appearance, like a demon crawling out of hell, stunned the surrounding crowd who were in an uproar.

"Mo Yunxuan! It was you! You must have threatened Zhirou! Otherwise, how would she agree to be with a good-for-nothing like you."

"And you haven't let her come out to confront me yet, dare you say you're not guilty?"

Mo Yunxuan looked at Lin Fan, who was acting like he was going crazy, and grumbled inwardly.

"No? Are these Children of Fortune this good at spouting nonsense?"

"If you liked her, just say so, and I might have thought a little higher of you, but what do you mean by calling me a good-for-nothing?"

"Who in the entire imperial city dares to call me a good-for-nothing, and you dare to speak up for justice, right!"

At this moment, a trace of annoyance and impatience appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lin Fan.

As if sensing Mo Yunxuan's mood, the surrounding Imperial Guards pushed their thumbs off their scabbards with their left hands and reached for their sword hilts with their right, all in a ready stance.

This caused the onlookers, who were already blocked from passing, to consciously retreat dozens of steps.

Although Lin Fan was consumed by rage, the Child of Fortune's innate super-strong perception ability easily detected

the faint, numerous killing intents emanating from the surroundings, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, plunging him into extreme panic.

"Alas, stop!"

At this moment, with a sigh of disappointment, the tense atmosphere was broken.

A middle-aged man with an imposing demeanor walked out of the crowd and flew to Lin Fan's side.

The Imperial Guards along the way wanted to step forward to stop him, but Mo Yunxuan waved his hand to stop them.

He knew that this man should be Lin Fan's new backer and the reason for Lin Fan's audacity in causing trouble today.

Most likely, he was one of the three Void Refinement Realm Deans and Vice Deans of Taihua Academy. The Nascent Soul Realm Imperial Guards were too weak before them.

Rather than being beaten back embarrassingly, it was better to step aside with dignity.

The man nodded at Mo Yunxuan and introduced himself, "I am Lü Qingjian, the Vice Dean of Taihua Academy. Greetings, Duke of Wei."

Mo Yunxuan looked at Lü Qingjian, whose demeanor was somewhat dismissive towards him.

From the information he obtained from his memories, he knew that Lü Qingjian hated evil and was fair and upright.

He often championed justice for commoner students in the academy and could be considered a clear stream in the stagnant waters.

But so what? Even if Lü Qingjian was a clear stream, unstained by the mud, what did it have to do with him?

Just because he was a clear stream, should Mo Yunxuan try to curry favor with him?

Even as a humble commoner in his previous life, he wouldn't fawn over someone for no reason.

Not to mention that in this life, he was already a powerful Duke with real authority.

Therefore, after seeing Lü Qingjian's attitude, Mo Yunxuan, who had intended to treat him politely, couldn't even be bothered to respond.

This displeased Lü Qingjian. He did not expect the new Duke of Wei to be so arrogant. It seemed Lin Fan's assessment of Mo Yunxuan as a good-for-nothing was not wrong.

As an old fellow who had lived for an unknown amount of time, he naturally wouldn't feel awkward over such a small matter.

As if nothing had happened, he spoke on his own, "Duke of Wei, Lin Fan is my disciple. His behavior was a bit excessive, and I hope you can be more understanding."

Mo Yunxuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "So, you mean you want to let this go?"

"Hahaha, my disciple Lin Fan's initial intentions were ultimately good, and he already knows he was wrong. Why should the Duke of Wei press the issue?"

At Lü Qingjian's level, Mo Yunxuan's Early Nascent Soul cultivation was merely an ant before him.

He never cared about the attitude of ants. He was speaking politely now only out of respect for the title of Duke of Wei.

However, his attitude directly ignited the eyes of those around him.

"I didn't expect Lin Fan to be Dean Lü's disciple. No wonder he dared to act so recklessly!"

"Recklessly? This is clearly acting righteously!"

"The Duke of Wei's mansion is in trouble now. Although the Wei State Duke Mansion Faction is powerful, with the Old Duke gone, the lack of Void Refinement Realm Experts has become the biggest pain point."

"Yeah! Void Refinement Realm Experts, heh~"

At the same time, Lü Qingjian's words also caused Wang Yuan and a group of Imperial Guards to be extremely displeased, and they all drew their swords and pointed them at him.

Lü Qingjian, who had become the center of their blades, was not flustered. He even smiled and sized up the Imperial Guards.

Mo Yunxuan waved his hand and ordered the surrounding Imperial Guards, "Put away your swords and stand by."

Although the Imperial Guards were indignant, they did not hesitate to obey Mo Yunxuan's orders and immediately sheathed their swords.

This synchronized action caused Lü Qingjian's eyes to narrow. He had heard long ago of the elite nature of the Duke of Wei's army.

He hadn't seen it with his own eyes before and was somewhat skeptical, but now, seeing a glimpse of it, it seemed to live up to its reputation.

Before he could think further, Mo Yunxuan spoke with a voice as cold as ice:

"Since Vice Dean Lü wishes to protect Lin Fan, then my Wei State Duke Mansion will naturally give face."

"However, I hope Vice Dean Lü will not regret today's decision in the future."

Lü Qingjian remained calm and composed, as if the icy words were not directed at him. He replied indifferently:

"Naturally."

Seeing Lü Qingjian's demeanor, Mo Yunxuan had no intention of arguing with him.

He just hoped that when the time came for a bloody confrontation, Lü Qingjian wouldn't regret it.

Then, with a blank expression, he gave the order: "Disband, return to the mansion!"

Although everyone was dissatisfied with the outcome of this incident, even feeling stifled, Mo Yunxuan's order had been given. The Imperial Guard instinctively followed the command, entering the Wei State Duke Mansion in an orderly fashion, one by one.

Lin Fan, not having seen Meng Zhirou, was consumed by anxiety. He rushed to Lü Qingjian's side and urgently called out, "Master."

Lü Qingjian looked at his worried disciple and sighed deeply. He turned back to Mo Yunxuan and said:

"Duke Wei, Miss Meng Zhirou has not attended classes at the academy for many days. The academy is concerned for her safety."

"Therefore, I sent my disciple Lin Fan to visit. Do you know where she is now? May we have a meeting?"

Mo Yunxuan felt his murderous intent was about to surge as he heard such shameless words.

He let out a cold snort and said:

"Zhirou is in the mansion, but there's no need for a meeting. Zhirou will not be returning to Taihua Academy in the future, to prevent certain shameless people from pining after her."

As Mo Yunxuan spoke, his gaze was fixed intently on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's eyes widened in anger upon hearing his blunt words. Just as he was about to retort, Lü Qingjian stopped him.

"Whether or not to go to Taihua Academy should depend on Meng Zhirou's personal opinion. Why not let her come out and clarify things in person?"

"Heh, I am informing you in the capacity of Zhirou's husband. Meng Zhirou will never set foot in Taihua Academy again from this day forward."

"Furthermore, starting today, all scholars and students from the Wei State Duke Mansion Faction will withdraw from Taihua Academy and sever all ties with it!"
