After saying that, he clasped his fists at Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun again, and then turned around.

Dugu Yan looked at his back, sighed, turned to Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun, and showed an apologetic smile, "Young Master Zhou, Young Master Yang, I'm sorry for making you see this."

Zhou Qiubai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Dugu, you don't have to be polite. Brother Yu is in a bad mood. You can go and accompany him."

"But..."

"It's not like we don't have legs." Zhou Qiubai said with a smile, "Heaven Dou Royal Academy is so big, we can just walk around by ourselves."

Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Then... Thank you both for your understanding. If you need anything, you can contact the deacon of the college."

"Okay."

Dugu Yan glanced at them again, then turned around and chased in the direction Yu Tianheng left.

Only Zhou Qiubai, Yang Guyun, the three education committee members and Chen Xuan were left in the field. The latter was still standing quietly aside, carrying the bamboo basket full of books.

"Young Master Zhou, Young Master Yang." Meng Shenji stepped forward, "I made you laugh today, what are your plans next?"

Zhou Qiubai raised his hands and said, "We are new to Heaven Dou City. We were originally just invited by Brother Yu to come to the academy to have a look. What happened today was really unexpected."

Meng Shenji A trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

He originally planned to take the opportunity to invite the two of them to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, especially Zhou Qiubai, whose understanding and calm demeanor of Sword Dao were definitely not comparable to the ordinary Soul Master.

Although Yang Guyun doesn't talk much, Soul Breaking Spear and Mutated Martial Soul, coupled with that indomitable momentum, definitely have top potential.

However, Xie Ru has clearly stated his attitude towards Qin Ming's point just now.

Can't force it.

Meng Shenji understands that with Xie Ru's eyesight, it is impossible not to see the potential of these two people.

The old dean must have deep meaning in doing this.

"In this case, I don't force you to stay." Meng Shenji smiled, "But since you two are Tianheng's friends, you are our Heaven Dou Royal Academy's guests. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to the academy to see me."

Bai Baoshan also said, "Yes. Although Heaven Dou City is prosperous, it is also a mixed bag. You two are new here. If you encounter any trouble, you can report the names of the three of us."

"The college's guest house is open to both of you at any time. If you want to stay, you are free to do so."

Zhou Qiubai's heart moved slightly.

"Thank you three seniors for your love." Zhou Qiubai said sincerely, "We are new here and we really need time to get familiar with the environment."

After hearing this, the three education committee members knew that the other party had no intention of joining the college for the time being, so they stopped forcing him, and after a few simple greetings, they left.

Due to the impact of today's turmoil, Prince Xue Xing and the academy need them to deal with the aftermath.

Soon after, only Zhou Qiubai, Yang Guyun, and Chen Xuan, who were still quiet, were left in the square.

Chen Xuan saw the three education committee members leaving, and then slowly walked forward.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Yang." He cupped his hands and said, "What you said today is admirable."

Zhou Qiubai shook his head. "Brother Chen, thank you very much. They are just true words. However, Brother Chen is knowledgeable about the past and present. The records in those ancient books are eye-opening."

Chen Xuan's refutation of <Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul> is not just a simple refutation, but a deconstruction from multiple angles.

That kind of profound knowledge cannot be accumulated overnight.

"It's just the duty of a scholar." Chen Xuan smiled modestly, "I have loved books since I was a child, and I have collected many ancient books at home. After reading more, I naturally understand that the truths in this world are often not black and white. Some of Yu Grandmaster's theories are indeed reasonable, but some... are too absolute."

In academic research, the most taboo thing is the absoluteness of data, because many results will be affected by many external factors, and it is impossible to maintain an accurate number.

"On the contrary, Brother Zhou has just won my heart. There is no strongest Martial Soul in this world, only the way that suits me best."

Zhou Qiubai was shocked.

Chen Xuan This sentence may seem simple, but it contains deep philosophy.

"Brother Chen practices swordsmanship?" he couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xuan smiled and did not answer directly, but asked, "What do Brother Zhou think?"

Zhou Qiubai looked at him carefully and thought to himself.

Chen Xuan has a very special temperament, full of bookishness. He doesn't look like Soul Master at all, but more like a literati who has read poetry and books.

But the way he stood and the rhythm of his breathing gave Zhou Qiubai an intuition.

This person is definitely not simple.

"Brother Chen has something interesting in him." Zhou Qiubai said without concealment, "Although it is hidden deeply, I can feel it."

Chen Xuan smiled, "Brother Zhou has good eyesight."

He did not deny it or explain in detail, but took out a bamboo bookmark from the book basket and handed it to Zhou Qiubai.

The bookmark looks plain and simple, with two lines of small words engraved on it.

Zhou Qiubai took the bookmark and was shocked.

"This is..." He looked up at Chen Xuan, full of surprise.

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "This was given to me by a senior when I was studying in my early years. Now it is given to Brother Zhou. Maybe it will inspire you."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

"You're welcome." Chen Xuan waved his hand, put the book basket on his back, and said with cupped hands, "Brother Zhou, Brother Yang, let's say goodbye today. If we are destined to talk to you two again in the future."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhou Qiubai stared at his back, Yang Guyun walked to him and whispered, "This person is strong."

"Yeah." Zhou Qiubai nodded, "Not only knowledge, but also strength..."

Perhaps everyone in Heaven Dou City thought he was a scholar, but Zhou Qiubai knew that everyone had been deceived by him.

Maybe that person was his backer, but he didn't believe that this scholar didn't have any fighting ability.

He paused and added, "And he is very sober. In today's turmoil, everyone was led by emotions. Only he and Xie Ru remained calm like bystanders."

Yang Guyun was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you think he helped us?"

"He's not helping us." Zhou Qiubai shook his head, "He just told the truth."

Yang Guyun thought for a while and nodded, "That makes sense."

"Let's go." Zhou Qiubai patted his shoulder, "I've seen enough of this scene today, go back and digest it."

The two walked side by side towards the mountain gate.

Deep inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Xie Ru stood with his hands behind his hands, overlooking the entire academy.

After a long while, he spoke slowly, his voice so soft that it was almost blown away by the wind. "Interesting."

"This young man may really be able to find a different path."

He turned around and saw Chen Xuan appearing behind him at some point.

"Xuan'er, what do you think?"

Chen Xuan bowed slightly. "Junior Martial Uncle has a keen eye, Zhou Qiubai. This person's character, talent, and understanding are all excellent. More importantly, he has his own way."

"Tao..." Xie Ru repeated, "There are many people in the world who have Tao, but there are very few people who can stick to their Tao and insist on walking on it."

"Do you think he can hold it?"

Xie Ru did not answer directly, but asked, "Why do you think he came forward today?"

Chen Xuan thought for a while and said, "On the one hand, it is the persistence of Sword Dao. Yu Xiaogang's theory denies the path other than Martial Soul. The most important thing is that he has a chivalrous spirit in his heart and will speak out when he sees injustice."

"Chivalry..." Xie Ru chuckled, with a hint of desolation in his smile, "In this day and age, people with chivalry often die young."

Chen Xuan was silent.

"But it is these people who can change the world." Xie Ru said slowly.

"The rain is coming..."
