Chapter 328

In fact, Yang Yunchun had been in the officialdom for so many years, so he naturally had the ability to observe words and expressions.

Xiao Zijin was clearly deliberately hiding something just now!

To be honest, Yang Yunchun looked down on almost all the veterans of the Sigu Sect.

But there was one exception, and that was Miss Shi Shui!

Because of cases, Yang Yunchun and Shi Shui often had contact.

Although their positions were different and they were arguing most of the time, Yang Yunchun admitted that Miss Shi Shui was straightforward by nature and full of justice, unlike the others in the Baichuan Academy!

Originally, even if he was curious about Xiao Zijin's affairs, Yang Yunchun would not pay attention to it!

After all, walking in the palace, the one thing you need to learn is to manage your curiosity!

However, after thinking for a moment, Yang Yunchun still curiously went to inquire about why Xiao Zijin had suddenly entered the palace?

Afterward, Yang Yunchun learned that Xiao Zijin had entered the palace to report Li Xiangyi's identity as a Nanyin Imperial Clan member.

At the same time, he also reported that many Nanyin descendants were constantly thinking about restoring Nanyin!

The Emperor had already sent people to investigate the ins and outs of this matter!

Hearing this news, Yang Yunchun's brows furrowed tightly, and then he shook his head!

So what? These people from the Sigu Sect, except for Miss Shi Shui, really had no one worth looking at!

Although their positions were different, after learning this news, Yang Yunchun still secretly sent a message to Miss Shi Shui!

As for what choice Miss Shi Shui would make, that was not something he could decide!

On the other side, Shi Shui quickly received this news from Yang Yunchun; her expression was first shocked, then furious!

The Sect Master had returned this time but was unwilling to reorganize the Sigu Sect; Shi Shui could guess a little bit in her heart.

If she didn't even have this bit of sharpness, she wouldn't be able to be one of the Academy Masters of the Baichuan Academy!

But she hadn't expected that the Sect Master had already exposed Shan Gudao's conspiracy and was preparing to leave Great Xi, yet Xiao Zijin was actually stabbing him in the back?

The furious Shi Shui went directly to find Xiao Zijin and exposed his behavior!

This exposure immediately made Xiao Zijin's reputation stink!

Although Ji Hanfo and the others didn't want Li Xiangyi to return, at least these people would never stab him in the back!

No matter what, Li Xiangyi was still their former superior!

In the Jiang Hu, reputation is very important!

Therefore, after Xiao Zijin's matter was exposed, Ji Hanfo and the others also criticized him!

And Qiao Wanmian abandoned him without any politeness, stating that she would never be with such a petty person!

After all, Qiao Wanmian valued her reputation very much; otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted Xiao Zijin while still going to the temple every year to pray for Li Xiangyi to maintain her persona of being deeply affectionate!

Naturally, she could not tolerate Xiao Zijin being ruined now!

For Xiao Zijin, the purpose of doing so much was because of his jealousy over Qiao Wanmian's lingering feelings for Li Xiangyi.

Now, even Qiao Wanmian said she wanted to break with him?

Xiao Zijin only felt that he had lost his wife and lost his army, so he naturally found it hard to accept!

"Now, the Emperor has already intervened to investigate this matter, we must go and help the Sect Master!"

For Shi Shui, making Xiao Zijin's reputation ruined was not the main thing; her main purpose in doing so was to verify whether the news Yang Yunchun gave her was true.

Now that it had been confirmed, Shi Shui thought about rushing to help Li Lianhua as soon as possible!

Although the power of the imperial court was strong, the Baichuan Academy was not a pushover!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have formed the situation where Jiang Hu cases were the responsibility of the Baichuan Academy, and even the government offices of the imperial court could not intervene!

"Shi Shui, regarding this matter, we must deliberate long-term!" Hearing Shi Shui's words, Bai Jiangchun said with a look of difficulty!

"That's right, although we also want to help the Sect Master, this is after all going against the entire imperial court. If there is a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Ji Hanfo was silent for a moment, then nodded and said!

"Actually, I also want to help the Sect Master, but we have so many criminal investigators in the Baichuan Academy, we must consider their future; we cannot act on impulse!"

Yun Biqiu was silent for a moment, then also put forward his own thoughts.

Yes, although on the surface it looked like the imperial court and the Baichuan Academy were minding their own business.

But in reality, how can one allow others to snore beside one's bed?

Jiang Hu cases, and I actually don't have the right to intervene?

This matter had already caused a lot of dissatisfaction in the imperial court!

Now going completely against the imperial court? This was not a small move!

Relatively speaking, Yun Biqiu and the others also felt that Shi Shui was too impulsive!

"Hmph, Jiang Hu matters are settled in the Jiang Hu; this was originally the agreement made between our Baichuan Academy and the imperial court!"

"Is the Sect Master a person of the Jiang Hu?"

"If we dare to intervene in other Jiang Hu matters, but stand by and watch the Sect Master's matter, where is the prestige of our Baichuan Academy?"

Shi Shui looked at Ji Hanfo and the others, a look of disappointment and anger appearing on her face as she shouted at them!

These words made the expressions of Ji Hanfo and the others look not very good!

Following that, Bai Jiangchun on the side continued: "The Sect Master is indeed a Jiang Hu person, that's correct, but don't forget, the Sect Master is also a descendant of the Nanyin Imperial Clan. Regarding this matter, the imperial court intervening is a completely reasonable thing!"

This statement also made Shi Shui silent!

Indeed, asking herself, Shi Shui also understood that the considerations of Ji Hanfo and the others were reasonable; they stood from the perspective of the Baichuan Academy, and it couldn't be said that they were wrong!

Of course, Shi Shui never felt she was wrong either!

After all, Li Xiangyi was the founder of the Sigu Sect, and these people were all old people of the Sigu Sect!

So, it was also reasonable for them to go and help the Sect Master, right?

It could only be said that neither side was wrong, but their directions of thinking and positions were different!

"So, you are all unwilling to take action, right?"

Reasoning didn't work; everyone had their own reasons, so Shi Shui didn't say any more nonsense and asked Ji Hanfo and the others!

"This..." Hearing Shi Shui's words, Ji Hanfo and the others showed hesitation.

They were unwilling to deny it, but they were also embarrassed to nod and admit it!

"Fine, if you don't go, I, Shi Shui, will go alone!"

Seeing the expressions of Ji Hanfo and the three, Shi Shui understood their thoughts, nodded and said, with an appearance of being extremely disappointed!

"Shi Shui, wait a moment..."

Seeing Shi Shui's appearance, Ji Hanfo reached out and grabbed her, saying: "No matter what, you are also one of the Academy Masters of our Baichuan Academy. If you go, wouldn't that represent the identity of our Baichuan Academy?"

"Besides, we didn't say we really wouldn't help!"

"It's just that we have to deliberate long-term and think of a method that is the best of both worlds?"

Being held by Ji Hanfo, Shi Shui looked at these colleagues with a cold face and said: "The Emperor's side has already started to act, yet you still want to deliberate long-term here?"

"You speak nicely, but in reality, you are just afraid!"

"Fine, fine, fine. Since you feel that if I go to help, it will implicate the Baichuan Academy and implicate you!"

"Then, from today on, I, Shi Shui, will leave the Baichuan Academy. From now on, I have no more connection with the Baichuan Academy!"

As her voice fell, Shi Shui took off the token representing her identity as an Academy Master of the Baichuan Academy and threw it on the ground.

Afterward, she broke free from Ji Hanfo's grasp and walked out with large strides!

Watching Shi Shui's departing figure, Ji Hanfo and the others looked at each other, and then each let out a long sigh.

To be honest, although Ji Hanfo and the others had their own selfish motives.

However, regarding Li Xiangyi, they still had some awe!

It was just that the situation between the Baichuan Academy and the Great Xi imperial court was truly subtle. If they acted rashly and tore their faces with the Great Xi imperial court, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Therefore, compared to Shi Shui being so impulsive, they naturally had to consider it well!

But they hadn't expected that Shi Shui would be so firm on the Sect Master's matter, directly throwing away even the identity of the Baichuan Academy Master.

This made Ji Hanfo and the others feel as if their hearts were a bit blocked!

This situation was like a group of brothers who were originally very good, and one of them was in trouble and needed money to help!

Several brothers had already started families and careers, so even if they wanted to help, they naturally had to consider their own families!

And Shi Shui? She was like a bachelor who hadn't started a family, so she had brotherly loyalty and was willing to take out all her money to help!

Shi Shui being loyal and righteous was correct, but were the other brothers wrong for considering their families?

Regardless of what thoughts Ji Hanfo and the others had, Shi Shui left the Baichuan Academy, and she left very high-profile!

Since she had decided to help the Sect Master and would not implicate the Baichuan Academy because of her actions, naturally, Shi Shui left high-profile!

Originally, the Jiang Hu of Great Xi was about to be completely shaken by Li Lianhua's news!

Li Lianhua had originally exposed Shan Gudao's conspiracy, which had already shaken the entire Great Xi Jiang Hu! ===== CHAPTER 330 =====
