I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 774 Targeting.

The other families naturally heard these discussions, but remained silent.

Confucians are willing to be the clowns, but they are not.

On the other side of the stands.

Several great scholars from the traditional school had smiles on their faces, but there was unabashed sarcasm in their eyes.

"A bunch of pedantic people who don't know how to judge the situation. Now that they are here, they still want to save face."

The person who spoke was a white-haired old man wearing a feather fan and a scarf. Although the weather was not hot, he kept fanning himself with the feather fan.

This person is Chen Zhihe’s teacher, the previous head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Ping.

He is also the number one figure of the traditional school among the Twelve Great Confucian Scholars.

Beside him were Cao Da and Shi Yuanshan, two of the twelve great Confucian scholars.

Cao Da was a hunchbacked old man who was less than 1.7 meters tall. He was wearing a loose Confucian robe and looked a little funny.

He neither agreed nor disagreed with Zhuge Ping's words, but commented on Chen Zhihe on the field.

"It seems that Zhihe has improved a lot. He is much better than those useless ones of mine."

"What do you think, Brother Yuanshan?"

Shi Yuanshan frowned slightly, but still nodded.

"Brother Cao is right."

He was a conservative person and did not approve of Confucianism being the first to take action.

Instructing Chen Zhihe to take his fate at this time seemed to be flattering the royal family, but at the same time, it also placed Confucianism in opposition to the other hundreds of schools of thought.

Zhao Chuyi received instructions from the Queen and seeing that no one was coming out to challenge, she was about to stand up and announce the winner, thus quickly ending this farce.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhihe and Zhuge Ping in the field looked at each other and spoke first.

"Your Highness, I have an unwelcome request."

Zhao Chuyi stood up and paused for a moment, then slowly walked out of the curtain and said in a calm tone,

"Mr. Chen, please speak."

In order to save face, the royal family originally promised a reward to the winner.

Now that Chen Zhihe took the initiative to speak, she had no reason to refuse.

I just hope this person can be more tactful and not make requests that would embarrass both parties.

When Chen Zhihe saw Zhao Chuyi's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly concealed the throbbing in his eyes, bowed to Zhao Chuyi and said,

"I didn't have the chance to attend the last Snowy Gathering, but I heard that two of Mr. Mu's top disciples won the championships one after another."

"I am not talented, but I hope to learn from Mr. Mu's second disciple, Mr. Li Qingyi, so as to make up for the regret in my heart."

The words fell.

Three women stood up on the stands at the same time.

Shanshan with a look of contempt, Yayin with anger, and Mo Liuying with an expressionless face.

"Oh, Master Li didn't show up today. I'm afraid Master Chen will be disappointed."

Zhao Chuyi was stunned for a while, then chuckled.

It was clearly a mocking smile, but to others it sounded like the eerie sound of an empty valley. For a moment, countless people were captivated by this chuckle.

Although Zhao Chuyi's appearance is beautiful, she is not as beautiful as Zhang Hanrui and Jun Jiuling, who are enough to charm everyone.

Even Mo Liuying in the field was slightly better than her.

However, her identity and her aura at the moment made her the most dazzling woman present.

"It's such an unfortunate coincidence... I heard that Mr. Mu has a nephew who has deeply inherited Mr. Mu's true teachings. I wonder who is stronger, Mr. Li or not?"

Chen Zhihe showed a regretful expression, thought about it, and continued to ask.

Of the three girls who had stood up earlier, Meiyin sneered and sat back down.

"Bah! You're lucky to have escaped this disaster."

However, even though he said this, he had already started to think in his mind how to chop this person who dared to challenge Li Mu in public into pieces.

She and her sister grew up in a place like the Huanglan Sect, and were not good people to begin with.

There is no such thing as tolerance towards people you hate.

"Haha, scholars are just hypocritical. If you want to target the great scholar Mu Zhen, just say it directly. Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

In the stands, a die-hard fan of Mu Zhen spoke out Chen Zhihe’s thoughts without any scruples.

Today's traditionalists risk creating rifts with other schools of thought, so they certainly cannot simply lick the royal family.

The purpose of shouting at Li Mu was to make friends with the Ren clan.

The controversy over the "real and fake prince" had caused a lot of controversy before, so Zhuge Ping certainly would not miss this opportunity.

Besides, it doesn’t matter to him whether Li Mu leaves the field or not.

As long as he spoke today, he would have a way to transfer Li Mu's original prestige in the capital to Chen Zhihe one by one.

As for the final goal, it is just as the person before said, targeting Mu Zhen.

At the Fengxue Gathering, Mu Zhen's two disciples stole the spotlight.

And Chen Zhihe's words were to tell everyone that the reason why Li Wu and Li Mu were able to win the championship was because they had not met him, Chen Zhihe.

Zhao Chuyi's expression remained unchanged, as if she was hesitating. She glanced at Tang Qin calmly, then turned her head to look at Mu Zhen and said respectfully,

"Mr. Mu, you can refuse."

The bias in her words was obvious.

Everything is decided by Mu Zhen herself, she will never force anything.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuge Ping's brows immediately wrinkled into a shape of a "川" (river).

I secretly thought that this little princess was really ungrateful.

At the same time, he became more and more anxious to get rid of Mu Zhen.

Mu Zhen didn't say anything, but looked at Li Mu beside him.

At this moment, three figures jumped into the field at the same time.

"You think you can challenge my master?"

Shanshan put one hand on her waist and pointed at Chen Zhihe's nose with the other, looking down at him condescendingly.

Mo Liuying and Tang Qin looked at each other in surprise with cold faces, and then said at the same time,

"Mo Liuying of the Mo family."

"Tang Qin, the Yin-Yang Master."

"Ask Master Chen for advice."

For a moment, there was an uproar in the venue.

"Three women are competing for a husband. Master Chen is indeed very charming."

"Are you an idiot? These three girls want to ask for advice."

"Mr. Chen is so lucky to be taught by these three girls. I am willing to be beaten to death."

"Yin Yang Family, isn't Yin Yang Family treasonous? Oh, that's the Water God of Ruoshui Hall!"

Someone brought it up, but everyone's attention was instantly focused on Tang Qin.

"She actually dared to show up in public. Who knows if the collusion with Rongyi has anything to do with her Ruoshuitang."

"Punish traitors severely!"

"We are ashamed to be associated with them."

The crowd was outraged, and there was an instant sense of solidarity in the venue.

Zhao Chuyi knew that the time had come, and with a wave of his sleeves, a golden sword energy exploded in the field.

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and then came Zhao Chuyi's majestic voice, which was filled with true energy.

"Former Imperial Master Zou Xing is a spy of the Fangji School. He used the name of the Yin-Yang School to disrupt the imperial government, colluded with foreign enemies, and attempted to overthrow our Nine Provinces."

"Since the Yin-Yang family is also a victim, and the Yin-Yang family's Elder Donghuang has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in South City, I will pardon the 339 Yin-Yang family disciples outside the city and allow them to return to the Yin-Yang family."

"..."

After the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the field. Zhuge Ping subconsciously questioned,

"Ridiculous, Zou Xing is not from the Yin-Yang School, so where did the skills that the five hall disciples practice come from?"

"Is there a second Yin-Yang family in Jiuzhou?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chuyi narrowed her eyes, and her expression became noticeably colder.

Yin Huanping had never begged her before, and this was the first time she asked. If she messed things up, how would she have the face to see Yin Huanping in the future?

What's more, when Yin Huanping came to her before, she had already vaguely hinted at the relationship between Li Mu and the Yin-Yang Family.

In this matter, she couldn't let Li Mu down no matter what.

He turned his head and looked at Zhuge Ping, his tone threatening.

"Mr. Zhuge, are you questioning me?"
