Chapter 158 You Can Bear It
After a year, Mo Qingkuang walked out of the valley again and returned to the inner courtyard.
Compared with a year ago, there are more people in the inner courtyard, and many outer courtyard disciples have successfully joined the inner courtyard through this year's efforts.
Looking at the Qingyun Monument, it has risen instead of falling, from the original 117th to 95th, and behind it, it is ranked more than 130.
There are new people joining the inner courtyard, and naturally there are old people leaving. This year, nearly 20 inner courtyard disciples either choose to graduate or die while performing tasks outside.
This is a normal phenomenon in the world of cultivation, and Mo Qingkuang has been prepared.
He went to Han Yan'er's courtyard again and found that Han Yan'er was not there. Judging from the appearance of the courtyard, it seems that she has not been back this year.
"Are you still in seclusion..." Mo Qingkuang murmured to himself. This year, Mo Qingkuang occasionally missed her.
However, the students walking in the inner courtyard gave Mo Qingkuang some strange feelings.
The students were in a hurry. They didn't come to greet his familiar faces. There were no students discussing cultivation on the roadside. Except for the sound of footsteps, there was no other sound in the whole inner courtyard. The atmosphere seemed unusually dull.
After the battle of the Fallen Leaf King's Mausoleum, he was a celebrity in the inner courtyard. It was impossible for him to be completely forgotten in just one year.
"Grandfather, what do you think happened to them?" Mo Qingkuang asked in his heart.
He could feel that something big must have happened to cause this situation.
Mo Fan smiled indifferently: "Wang Hua was arrested."
Yes, just the day before yesterday, Wang Hua, a model of imperial officials and a high position of prime minister, was arrested by the empress herself.
Under Mo Fan's instructions in dreams many times, Zheng Tao and others gradually dug out multiple evidences of Wang Hua's collusion with Lan Yan during this year.
Wang Hua was not a fool. He gradually felt something was wrong and began to prepare to escape, but he didn't expect that he had been living under the close surveillance of Fu Qing.
From the moment he prepared the ceremony, arranged the documents for the customs clearance, and was about to set off.
The empress's jade chariot suddenly landed in his house. He knew that he had been exposed and could not escape.
He did not resist or argue, but surrendered. The empress abolished his cultivation and imprisoned him in the sky prison.
He knew that if there was no absolute certainty and 100% conclusive evidence, the Tianxuan Empire would not dare to take him, the first court official.
Wang Hua, who was a model for all officials of Tianxuan, was known as the first wise prime minister in history, and had devoted his life to the country and the people. He was a saint. He turned out to be a spy of the empire.
Whether it was the people of Tianxuan or the officials in the court, they could not accept it no matter what.
However, all the evidence was placed in front of everyone, and they had no choice but to believe it!
There was also the confession of the captured Zhang Dashanren, and Wang Hua's confession during the public trial.
No matter how much they didn't believe it in their hearts, Tianxuan had to accept such a result.
But Wang Hua's influence was great. The Tianxuan Empire had not held a normal court for two days. A group of officials seemed to have lost their spirit and spirit and had no intention of doing official business.
Most of the people in Tianxuan were crying and angry, unable to control themselves, and even felt deeply desperate about the world.
This was despair of the collapse of faith.
He was a role model for officials and a hero for the people!
Mo Qingkuang had no feelings about this. He was not a member of Tianxuan. It was he who proposed that Wang Hua was a spy from the enemy country.
It was natural that the guilty should be punished. When he learned that Wang Hua was arrested, he had no other feelings, but just felt that it was natural.
However, he still had to show up at his cheap teacher Zheng Tao for this matter, after all, this matter was caused by him.
When he came to Xingchen Pavilion, not only Zheng Tao was here, but also Hua Ge, Fu Qing, and Fu Qing's direct disciple Chen Kong were all here.
There was also a handsome young man standing by, standing behind Hua Ge.
"Grandmaster?" Seeing Mo Qingkuang enter the door, everyone in the room was shocked!
Everyone present was a person of high cultivation and extraordinary vision, and of course they could see the details of Mo Qingkuang's cultivation.
In just one year, Mo Qingkuang had actually reached the Grandmaster level. He was only seventeen years old, not to mention the inner courtyard, even since the founding of Tianxuan, there had never been such a person. It was no exaggeration to say that there was no one before him!
The cultivation of a spiritual body is indeed much faster than that of an ordinary person, but breaking through the fourth level in one year, including a great realm, is something that even books dare not write about.
Chen Kong is also a spiritual body. He is now over twenty years old, but he is only a third-level Grandmaster, which is already a rapid progress.
"Meet the teacher, Principal Fu, Dean Hua, and Senior Brother Chen Kong." Mo Qingkuang saluted respectfully.
"Stinky boy, you gave me a big surprise." Zheng Tao recovered from his astonishment and smiled.
In the past year, Chen Kong's progress was visible to the naked eye, but Mo Qingkuang was in a dead-end retreat, and he had no way of knowing the specific progress.
As the plan to capture Wang Hua gradually came to an end, Zheng Tao and the other two were also in a much more relaxed mood. On weekdays, Fu Qing always bullied Chen Kong, which made him very uncomfortable.
He was holding back his anger and waiting for Mo Qingkuang to come out of retreat to save his face.
Now that Mo Qingkuang has come out of retreat, it is not only to win back his reputation, but also to be proud of himself!
His cultivation has reached the Grandmaster level, which is only two grades lower than Chen Kong. He is also younger and has more room for development.
Hua Ge, who was standing aside, looked at Mo Qingkuang with green eyes. He regretted it! Now he saw that the disciples of Lao Fu and Zheng Tao were all spiritual bodies and Grandmasters!
As for his disciples, it is better not to mention them.
It was the handsome young man behind him, wearing a Confucian robe. He looked about 20 years old. There was no trace of true energy in his body, as if he had never practiced martial arts.
But when he stood there, there was a scholarly air of elegance. His standing posture was very regular, his etiquette was impeccable, and he had an aristocratic demeanor.
Mo Qingkuang nodded: "I have gained a little after a year of retreat. I am sorry that the teacher was worried."
"No problem, come and sit down." Zheng Tao waved his hand with a smile. He was in a very good mood at the moment. "You have met Principal Fu and Dean Hua. This is not the first time you have met Chen Kong. This senior brother, Hua Ge, please introduce your disciple."
Hua Ge rolled his eyes at Zheng Tao when he heard this. This was clearly a blatant show-off!
"Han Shu, greet your junior brother Mo." Hua Ge shook his fingers.
The handsome young man behind him came out and bowed to Mo Qingkuang: "I am Han Shu, and I meet Brother Mo!"
He was very polite, and he did not call him junior brother, but called him Brother Mo, showing great respect.
Mo Qingkuang was a little surprised and said hurriedly: "Brother Han, there is no need to do this. I can't bear it."
He didn't expect that this Brother Han, who had a very good appearance when they met for the first time, would actually give him such a big gift!
Are all the senior brothers in the Academy of Literature so polite?
Before Han Shu spoke, Hua Ge interrupted lazily: "You can bear it! If it is not necessary, it is not too much for him to kneel down to you."
