The Fourth Elder's words left Xu Yeming and Ye Qiubai completely baffled as to what he truly intended to do.
Judging from the surveillance by Prince Yang Flame, the Fourth Elder probably has something planned in secret. Therefore, he has not let his guard down against Xu Yeming and still remains suspicious.
But if that's the case, shouldn't we try to keep Xu Yeming at the Cangxuan Academy?
Wouldn't this make it easier to take action against Xu Yeming? After all, this is their territory.
Why then did they deliberately let Xu Yeming escape?
Xu Yeming was puzzled, but Ye Qiubai transmitted his voice, saying, "Let's observe further."
Xu Yeming nodded.
The Fourth Elder continued, "Staying at the Cangxuan Academy shouldn't leave you with much to learn. Going deeper would involve accessing things that Cangxuan Academy doesn't usually offer to outsiders, of course..."
At this point, the Fourth Elder smiled and looked at Xu Yeming, saying, "If you can leave Azure Firmament Academy and join our Cangxuan Academy, you will be able to enjoy all these things, and we will also give you preferential treatment in resources."
Xu Yeming smiled and shook his head, "We won't leave Azure Firmament Academy."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder shrugged and said, "Then there's nothing we can do. You heard that, didn't you, Dean?"
Dean Cangxuan looked at Xu Yeming and the other person.
To be honest, he also really wanted them to join Cangxuan Academy. That way, he could not only gain two students with extremely monstrous talent, but also establish a connection with their master.
But.
The dean of the Azure Firmament Academy is now their fellow disciple, so there's no way they can poach him.
After all, the other side definitely has everything that Cangxuan Academy has, and it will only be better.
"What do you think?" Dean Cangxuan gave the decision-making power to Xu Yeming and the other person.
Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming exchanged a glance.
Xu Yeming then nodded and said, "We've indeed finished our visit and learned a lot at your esteemed institution. Let's head back tomorrow then."
Upon hearing Xu Yeming's words, Ye Qiubai understood his intention and therefore did not object.
But.
Unexpectedly, Dean Cangxuan did not reply immediately, but instead wanted to keep the two of them in the academy for a while longer.
Because the inheritance of the Cangxuan Guardian Beast was still intended for Xu Yeming.
The Cangxuan Guardian Beast is currently recovering its physical functions, and it will take some time.
Once fully recovered, the Black Lord intended to pass on his legacy to Xu Yeming.
These are also the words of the Black Lord.
Several elders nearby were taken aback when Dean Cangxuan did not respond.
The Fourth Elder hurriedly reminded him, "Dean?"
Dean Cangxuan raised his head and looked at Xu Yeming, but after seeing the meaningful look in Xu Yeming's eyes, he still nodded with difficulty and said, "Since you've decided, then so be it."
Ye Qiubai and the other man both nodded, cupped their hands in a respectful bow, and turned to leave.
The Fourth Elder also left in a hurry.
Just as the Fourth Elder was about to return to his residence, the First Elder suddenly blocked his way.
"Huh? What are you doing?" The Fourth Elder was slightly taken aback upon seeing this and frowned.
The First Elder remained calm, staring at the Fourth Elder as he asked, "What do you intend to do?"
The Fourth Elder sneered, "You should know very well what I want to do. We're all birds of a feather, so stop pretending."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder frowned. "So eager? Aren't you afraid something might go wrong?"
The Fourth Elder scoffed, "What kind of accident could there be? Since they've already left the academy, it's quite normal for them to run into trouble outside of it, right? This is the Chaos Realm; even if they're carrying valuable treasures and get kidnapped, it won't affect the reputation of the Cangxuan Academy."
"No wonder you made them leave the academy, so they could act recklessly outside the academy, right?" the Grand Elder said.
However, the Fourth Elder did not continue to answer, but instead bypassed the First Elder and returned to his residence.
Seeing this, the Grand Elder glanced longingly in the direction of the courtyard where Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming were, and then said, "After this matter, the fox's tail should be revealed..."
After speaking, the Grand Elder disappeared from the spot.
After leaving the Dean's Hall, Ye Qiubai and Xu Yeming did not return to the small courtyard, but went directly to Cangxuan Peak.
When they arrived at Cangxuan Peak, the Dean had already returned to the Cangxuan Peak.
The little cabin has been rebuilt, but it's even more dilapidated than before...
"Are you two little devils hiding something from me?" Dean Cangxuan, looking at Xu Yeming and his companion.
Xu Yeming scratched his head and asked, "Doesn't the Dean know what the Fourth Elder did to us?"
The dean shook his head. "I only heard about your affairs at the Blood Assessment Hall from my subordinates..."
Upon hearing this...
Xu Yeming couldn't help but twitch his lips and said, "Everyone says that Dean Cangxuan is detached from worldly affairs, and now that I hear it, it's certainly true."
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't dare to mock him in front of Dean Cangxuan.
Only Xu Yeming...
After all, even Dean Cangxuan wouldn't dare to lay a hand on this little rascal.
The successor of the Black Lord, and the master behind him...
Dean Cangxuan could only manage a bitter smile. "Our reluctance to concern ourselves with worldly affairs is also to ensure the safety of the Black Lord. The more we say, the more mistakes we make. The news that the Black Lord's lifespan is coming to an end has already spread, so for the Black Lord's safety, this is the only way."
"And what about you? Do you have a grudge against the Fourth Elder?"
He could sense that the Fourth Elder harbored murderous intent towards Xu Yeming...
Xu Yeming had no choice but to recount everything that had happened.
at the same time.
He also revealed that he was Xu Canghai's son.
The dean was slightly taken aback. "I didn't expect you to be that kid Xu Canghai's offspring?"
"So you did this because you're stuck gathering intelligence, so you want to give the initiative to the Fourth Elder and try to get some information out of him?"
Xu Yeming shook his head and said, "Not only that, I feel that not only the Fourth Elder was involved in those things, but also others within the academy..."
"I understand." The dean nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "I know a little about Xu Canghai's affairs, but that was afterward, and my knowledge is extremely limited."
"When Xu Canghai joined the academy, I was helping the Black Lord search for ways to prolong life, so I wasn't aware of everything that happened at the academy during that time."
Hearing this, Xu Yeming suddenly realized what was happening.
He had originally planned to learn about Xu Canghai's situation through the dean.
After all, the dean is already considered one of their people, and as the dean... he must know everything that happens at the Cangxuan Academy.
"But go ahead and do it if you want," Dean Cangxuan said with a smile. "Don't worry about the dangers; just go for it. Within the confines of the Cangxuan Academy, I can still ensure your safety."
Xu Yeming asked with a sneer, "What if the Xu Clan and the Xuanyuan Clan both attack then?"
The dean's eye twitched.
Do you even need to ask?
Hey kid, do you even know how to talk?!
