Chapter 515 The Curtain Falls
"The Purple Language Fruit is a divine fruit in the Confucian and Taoist Continent. It possesses extremely powerful self-healing and recovery abilities. Most importantly, it can permanently enhance the intelligence and memory of scholars."
"So, someone as learned as you wouldn't be unaware of this."
Xie Ming said with a smile.
"Of all this stuff, only the Purple Language Fruit is somewhat useful."
Ye Ru nodded and said, which made Xie Ming roll his eyes, before continuing:
"Don't try to act innocent after getting such a good deal. There are only three Purple Language Fruits in our Jin Kingdom, and each one is a treasure. And now, they've been handed over to a foreigner like you."
"You really stole the show at this literary gathering."
Although he was a native of Jin, he did not show any prejudice against Ye Ru because Ye Ru was a native of Yanhuang, after all, he represented the National Academy of Jin.
The imperial system was simply not suited to him.
When two countries are at war, the National Holy Academy can be excluded, which is why Xie Ming was able to so generously hand this over to Ye Ru.
"I hope they won't hunt me down when I get back. A foreigner taking so many treasures from Jin will probably make people envious."
Ye Ru smiled, then pondered for a moment.
"Whoever dares, I will be the first to not let him go. We are all human, how could we possibly kill each other?"
Shrug, a hint of murderous intent flashing in Xie Ming's eyes, and said.
Clearly, he was extremely angry about this murder and robbery.
At the very least, he would never do it.
"What are your plans next?"
After putting aside his murderous intent, Xie Ming asked with a serious expression.
"Isn't there another pilgrimage to the Holy Road? After I complete that pilgrimage, I'll head back."
Ye Ru raised his head and said with a smile.
"Very well, this Holy Road is quite suitable for you. At least you can encounter many good things in it."
After pondering for a moment, Xie Ming rubbed his temples and sighed deeply:
"The opening of the Holy Road will take place in five days, still at the Literati Platform. However, the fact that you have destroyed the Literati Platform like this is truly a headache."
"hey-hey."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru simply smiled awkwardly and did not offer any rebuttal.
However, if Shi Tianze hadn't attacked him, he wouldn't have ended up in that state.
Now that he has no trump card to save his life, he will have no choice but to fight desperately if he encounters danger again.
"Alright, that's enough. Don't worry, Shi Tianze doesn't dare to touch you now, after all, he accepted those thirty holy pages. However, just because he doesn't kill you doesn't mean his people won't touch you."
Xie Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, as if giving a warning.
“I know that now that my identity has been exposed, Shi Tianze will definitely not let me go, even if I have entered the Mountain of Saints now.”
Ye Ru took a deep breath, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Being stared at by Shi Tianze felt like being venomous, making him feel uneasy all over. Although he had entered the Three Mountains, the Three Mountains wouldn't care about them no matter what.
If he dies, the people of Sanshan will continue searching for others.
"That's good. Go and rest for a while. I haven't dealt with those ghost scholars yet. I need to take care of them all first."
With a smile, Xie Ming left, followed closely by Ye Ru carrying the Purple Language Fruit and many other items.
"It's alright now. Guess what I brought?"
When Ye Ru came out, he saw Zhang Dong and the others looking at him anxiously, which warmed his heart.
These things are secondary. As long as you are alright, that's all that matters. If anything happens to you, it will be a pipe dream for our Yanhuang Kingdom to become powerful.
Zhang Dong looked at Ye Ru with a serious expression and gave him his instructions.
"We can all die, but you can't."
Zhang Zhi also spoke with a solemn expression.
"Thank you both, gentlemen. But we don't need to die. Don't worry, I will definitely make the Yanhuang Kingdom strong."
Nodding, Ye Ru bowed to the two of them.
“You still need to be careful of Shi Tianze. He won’t let you off so easily. Besides, he’s from the Zhongsheng family. He was beaten so badly by us in that situation, and his family’s treasure was also severely damaged. He definitely won’t swallow this insult so easily.”
At this moment, Star Ape King frowned, as if he was worried about something, and then said.
"I know that if he comes, he should be prepared to be seriously injured by me."
A murderous glint appeared in Ye Ru's eyes. Although he no longer had the semi-saint's and great Confucian's books, he still had the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries. At worst, he could forcefully write the "Ode to Righteousness" and kill his opponent directly.
He refused to believe that something as powerful as the "Ode to Righteousness" couldn't even kill a great Confucian scholar.
"Let's go back and rest first. After we finish this Holy Path, we'll go back and report."
Ye Ru smiled, then turned and went back to his hotel.
……
When Ye Ru returned, Shi Tianze also returned to the Shi family with a gloomy expression.
He felt extremely aggrieved, because how could he, the dignified head of the Zhongsheng family, be beaten so miserably by a mere scholar and three Hanlin scholars?
Moreover, their long history as a family of historians has been severely damaged.
Although the River of History he unleashed this time wasn't in an offensive state, it was still extremely powerful.
"Master, are you alright?"
At this moment, a manager from the Shi family walked in. When he saw Shi Tianze in such a disheveled state, he was shocked and said...
Because, in all the years he had been in charge, he had never seen his head of the household treated so miserably.
"It's alright. The Holy Road is about to open, and our Shi Sheng family should have a spot, right?"
After a moment, Shi Tianze took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then spoke to the steward.
"There are still some left, what's wrong?"
The butler thought for a moment and said.
“Alright, this time, send the most elite people from our Shi family. Also, immediately write a letter to that person, asking him to also enter the Holy Road and help me kill someone. As for his request, we can give him whatever he wants.”
“It is even the most precious treasure of our family of historians, the long river of history.”
A fierce glint flashed in Shi Tianze's eyes, and then he waved his hand.
Now that he has those thirty holy pages, it's clear he can't directly confront Ye Ru, so he can only sabotage him in secret, such as killing Ye Ru on the Holy Path.
The Holy Road is fraught with danger, and even if Ye Ru dies, no one can blame him.
Moreover, although he was a great Confucian scholar, he also knew about the matter of Mount Zhongsheng.
Although Mount Zhongsheng also recruits talented people, as long as one has not entered Mount Zhongsheng to cultivate, one is not a member of Mount Zhongsheng. Even if one dies prematurely, there is nothing that can be done, and they will not pursue the matter.
"Patriarch, this historical river is the most precious treasure of our Shisheng family. Is it really appropriate to just give it away to someone else like this...?"
"Don't worry, although this river of history is precious, what we hold in our hands now is not the real river of history."
"It is a tributary of the long river of history."
Before the butler could finish speaking, Shi Tianze shook his head, interrupting him.
"I understand."
Nodding, the butler turned and left. When he reached the door, he sighed deeply. It seemed that the rumors that had been circulating were true.
It's truly astonishing that a mere scholar could defeat even his own patriarch.
"Let's stay here for the next few days."
Ye Ru opened the door of the inn, then thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm, it's a nice place."
Zhang Dong scanned the room; it was enormous, surrounded by opulent surroundings, and consisted of four rooms, almost like a suite.
"In that case, Ye Ru's safety can be guaranteed."
"You still have some hidden injuries, let me help you recover first."
Looking at the injuries covering the three of them, Ye Ru thought for a moment, then summoned his Sacred Ancient Tree. Streams of Sacred Power continuously emerged and finally enveloped the three of them.
As the power of the Sacred Tree entered their bodies, their external injuries slowly healed. In just over ten minutes, their skin seemed to have regenerated.
"All right."
Ye Ru's face was also a little pale, and then he went back to his room to rest.
The night passed quietly in peaceful surroundings.
