word in his hand suddenly flew out, carving a huge stone cave into the nearby mountain wall. Then, the two figures flashed and rushed inside.A giant stone was rolled in and sealed the cave entrance. T...Upon reaching the summit, the golden-armored warriors immediately fanned out, encircling everyone.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Song Jian strode to Ye Bufan's side, a kind smile on his face.

"Dr. Song, it's been a while, you seem even more dashing than before. I wonder how you've considered what I mentioned last time"

Ye Bufan naturally knew what he was talking about. On the surface, he wanted to marry his daughter to him, but in reality, he was forcing him to choose sides between the empress dowager and himself.

He smiled faintly: "These past few days, I've been reflecting on myself constantly. I truly don't deserve the county princess, so I can only disappoint the prince's kindness."

His words were polite, but his attitude was utterly resolute.

Song Jian is definitely not a good person, and under no circumstances would I stand on his side.

Song Jian's smile vanished, his gaze sharpening: "Young man, sometimes when you choose the wrong direction, it can waste your whole life."

Ye Bufan remained calm, "It's nothing, the path I choose, no matter what, I have to walk it. Besides, sometimes right and wrong, who can say for sure"

"Well then, do as you please. I hope you won't regret this later."

Song Jian finished speaking, then turned his head to look at Di Long and Di Hu behind him, "You Di family members dare to barge into Lingxiao Academy Do you really think there is no law in Tianfeng City"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Take all these people back to me. They must be punished severely."

After he finished speaking, Ye Bufan's brows furrowed immediately. This old man seemed to be speaking for Lingxiao Academy, but in fact, it was definitely not the case.

Song Jian never came early or late, but happened to arrive at this moment, it must not be a coincidence.

First and foremost, it's certain that before you step onto his side, he won't come to help you no matter what.

Since they made such a grand entrance here, not to help themselves, the only result can be that they are here to help the Di family and put me in my place.

It was even predictable that once the Di family was taken away by him, they would likely be released soon. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Regardless of whether Song Jian had any relationship with the Di family before, he wouldn't mind making more enemies for himself.

The ideal is clear, but the other party represents the royal family of Tianfeng City. Now that they say they want to arrest someone, he can't stop them.

"Hold on!"

Just then, Li Daoran stepped forward. "Your Highness," he said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

"Dean Li, you look very energetic."

Song Jian looked at Li Dao Ran, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had clearly seen that the other's cultivation had recovered.

"I wonder where Dean Li thinks is inappropriate"

"Your Highness, I am now an elder of the Lingxiao Academy. I am no longer the headmaster."

Li Daoran was also a person who had seen storms and waves. He first calmly stated his identity and then said, "Your Highness, you are a noble person with many people forgetting things, it seems you have forgotten the agreement between the academy and the royal family."

We had agreed beforehand that no matter if it was Cangfeng Academy or Lingxiao Academy, anything happening within our academy's territory would be handled by us ourselves, and have nothing to do with the Tianfeng Imperial Family.

These people trespassed into Lingxiao Academy, disrespecting the academy's dignity. Naturally, they should be dealt with by us, so there's no need for Your Highness to get involved.

His words were neither servile nor arrogant, yet they made the cause of the matter clear.

Ye Bufan only then knew that there was such an agreement between the two academies and the royal family, Song Jian bringing people here was obviously overstepping.

"Are you talking about that agreement It's ancient history."

Song Jian seemed to have an idea in mind already, just smiled slightly, "Under Heaven, all is the Emperor's land. As long as something happens within the territory of the Tianfeng Empire, it should naturally be under the jurisdiction of the royal family."

"Nonsensical!"

Nalan Yujia has a fiery temper, she doesn't care if the other person is a prince or not, if she's unhappy, she'll stand up and confront them.

"You're bullying me because you think nobody from the Lingxiao Academy will stand up to you. For all these years, I've never seen you step foot in the Cangfeng Academy once!"

Song Jian's expression immediately turned cold. As a prince of a country, being confronted and ridiculed like this in public was extremely embarrassing.

If I didn't know the other party was a powerhouse in the fusion stage, I probably would have flipped and attacked them already.

Song Jian suppressed the anger in his heart and said angrily: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things. I want to arrest whoever I want, and take whoever I want. No one can stop me!"

In fact, he was indeed bullying Lingxiao Academy because it had no backing. After all, for so many years, no one has ever cared about Lingxiao Academy being destroyed, which shows that they have completely abandoned this place.

After finishing his words, the aura of a late-stage Fusion Stage powerhouse erupted suddenly.

The other Li Dao-ran didn't say much either, but his aura also emanated, clearly showing his attitude.

Lu Xue Man, Li Qing Zhu and others were also unafraid, standing behind Ye Bufan one after another, ready to fight at any moment.

Seeing this, the bald middle-aged man behind Song Jian took a step forward and stood directly in front of him, his aura also erupting suddenly.

He was only one person, and although he was also at the late stage of the Fusion Realm, he was slightly weaker than Nalan Yu Jia and Li Dao Ran.

"What are you doing Are you going to openly oppose the royal family"

Song Jian looked at Ye Bufan with a cold expression, “Dean Ye, have you thought this through Do you know what the consequences of this are Can you bear them”

Nalan Yujia, Li Dao ran and others also came over to look. As long as he gave the order, no matter who the other party was, they would immediately take action.

"What are you doing Don't be rude to His Royal Highness."

Ye Bufan's expression changed, his smile becoming even more dazzling, with a hint of flattery.

"Your Highness, please don't mind. Everyone was just acting impulsively. This is all a misunderstanding."

You are right, under heaven all is the emperor's land. As you represent the royal family of Tianfeng Empire, you can arrest whomever you please within this city of Tianfeng.

"Then, I'll go get them and bring them to you personally."

His performance left everyone in the audience dumbfounded, even Song Jian was taken aback. The opponent had never bowed to him for so long, how could he suddenly admit defeat

Li Daoran, Nalan Yu Jia and others also had puzzled expressions on their faces. They were all very familiar with their dean's temperament. Although young, he had never suffered a loss. How could he bow his head to Song Jian today

The Di family were obviously not expecting this turn of events, but they didn't have time to be shocked now. All they felt was the overwhelming joy of survival. They were finally safe.

Ye Bufan, ignoring the astonished gazes of others, strode forward directly. He picked up Di Long and Di Hu with one hand and threw them in front of Song Jian.

Then the rest of the people followed, and in the blink of an eye, over ten members of the Di family were thrown over.

After finishing all this, Ye Bufan walked back with a smile on his face and said: “Your Highness, is there anything else you need”

"Dean Ye is indeed a person of discernment. I hope you will give my proposal further thought."

To be honest, Song Jian didn't understand either. He didn't know what he was up to. After saying that, he ordered his golden armored warriors to take the Di family away from Lingxiao Academy.

Looking in the direction they left, Ye Bufan's lips curled into a meaningful sneer.ehind him, and a blade of light ten zhang long slashed viciously at his back.It was Ye Bufan who made the move. This was exactly the scheme he had designed beforehand, to let both sides be defeated an...
