Chapter 391 Facing the Battle?
A faint laugh rang out, and the lightning bolts clashed directly with Ji Wei. In an instant, they collided, causing an explosion. Ji Wei staggered back dozens of steps, then stared at the distance with a grim expression.
"who!"
He was somewhat shocked; his opponent was so strong that he could perfectly replicate his attack.
If I hadn't been prepared beforehand, I'd probably be the one who got hurt.
After all, his previous attacks were deadly; if they had hit Xia Han, she would have been either killed or seriously injured.
"Look, what is that?"
At this moment, a sharp-eyed person saw a streak of light in the sky. This streak of light was extremely fast, and in just an instant it reached a rooftop. Then, it looked ahead, crossed its arms, and its wings were slowly moving behind it.
"It looks like it's one person."
One person exclaimed, causing Xia Han to slowly open his eyes. When he saw Ji Wei's disheveled appearance, he was stunned for a moment, then looked around and finally spotted the young man standing on the roof.
Ye Ru glanced around, then leaped down and slowly walked towards Ji Wei, standing in front of the students of the Imperial Academy.
"Thank you very much, sir."
Xia Han felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the other person standing in front of her, and then softly expressed her gratitude.
"No need to thank me. We are both scholars, so there's no need for thanks. However, your injuries are quite severe. You should find a doctor to treat you quickly, or your study might shatter if you don't act soon."
Ye Ru gave the instructions without turning his head, which made the latter's expression change. He stood up with difficulty and then slowly walked back into the crowd, allowing the doctors to begin treatment.
Watching Xia Han leave, Ye Ru raised his head and chuckled softly:
"Sparring is supposed to end when it's done right. What you're doing is really disrespectful to a scholar."
"You must be Ye Ru, right? What I did has nothing to do with you."
Ji Wei sneered, then shook his hand to release the numbness in his arm, and said.
His previous move made him realize that his opponent was truly skilled.
However, although he was a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial examination), his Shugong Shudan (a skill in calligraphy) had been tempered for so long that it had already reached the level of Jinshi (a successful candidate in the imperial examination), and Shudan had even entered the third realm of Shudan.
So, it's still uncertain who will win and who will lose.
"This attempt to kill my comrades is related to me and the entire Imperial Academy."
Ye Ru said indifferently, while the Left Prime Minister frowned and then spoke up:
"Chief Ye, you are mistaken. You yourself said that swords have no eyes, and sparring is bound to result in some injuries. Now that you have interrupted this match, don't you think that is a bit excessive?"
The Left Prime Minister's words caused many people to show their anger, but due to his authority, they dared not speak out for the time being.
The Left Prime Minister is ruthless. Once someone is targeted by him, it's like being targeted by a venomous snake. Given the chance, they will die without a burial place.
"What's going on? Why is it so lively? Wasn't today supposed to be a farewell party for Chief Ye?"
At that moment, a gentle voice came from the doorway, followed by the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Military Affairs, accompanied by a hundred officials. When they saw the tense atmosphere, they chuckled softly.
"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to break the law?"
Chen Tianjian glanced around and then shouted angrily.
"It's actually Lord Chen! All three ministers have gathered here today... I'm not seeing things, am I?"
One person rubbed their eyes, as if they couldn't believe it.
It was common knowledge throughout the court that the three prime ministers rarely gathered together; aside from the Star-Picking Tower, it was probably only once a year.
Because the Minister of Civil Affairs spends most of his time at the National Sacred Academy, representing the academy in its educational work, while the Minister of Military Affairs leads troops to guard the border and rarely returns.
"Prime Minister, what's all this noise about here? Tell us what's going on!"
Wen Xiang turned his head, glanced at Zuo Xiang, and chuckled softly.
"It's nothing, it's just that swords have no eyes, and Chief Ye saw injustice and drew his sword to help."
The Left Prime Minister shook his head, glanced at Ji Wei, and the latter, seeing this, nodded imperceptibly, then turned his gaze back to Ye Ru:
"Everyone says that you, Ye, are famous throughout the world and are even personally appointed by the Emperor as a model of literature. I would like to see for myself what makes you so remarkable."
"Brother Ji, you are mistaken. I am not a model of a scholar. If I want to develop my own school of thought, I still need to study hard. Today is a book gathering, let's discuss it privately."
Ye Ru smiled modestly and said.
Upon hearing this, Ji Wei's expression also turned somewhat gloomy, and he then said;
"What? Chief Secretary Ye won't even give me this chance, or are you afraid of losing?"
"It's not that I'm not giving you a chance, nor is it that I'm afraid of losing myself."
Ye Ru shook his head calmly, then stepped forward and slowly raised his head:
"It's not that I'm afraid you can't afford to lose."
These words made Ji Wei's face turn completely cold, and then the Book Palace in his body suddenly swelled up, and a powerful pressure came down hard towards Ye Ru.
Feeling the oppressive aura, Ye Ru's expression became much more serious. However, he did not panic. After all, he had fought against many scholars who had passed the imperial examinations, and even fought against those who had passed the highest level of the imperial examinations. Although his opponents were very strong, Ye Ru was no pushover either.
Those around them felt the oppressive atmosphere, their gazes fixed on Ye Ru and Ji Wei.
"Is that Ye Ru, the top scholar? I really hope he can teach Ji Wei a lesson. Ji Wei is simply too arrogant."
"It's hard to say who will teach whom a lesson. Ye, the Chief Scholar, has a great reputation, but I don't know if he's just all show or if he has real talent. But I watched Ji Wei smash the books and books of eight scholars right before my eyes... I feel that Chief Scholar Ye might not be able to defeat Ji Wei..."
"Regardless, Chief Ye is much bolder than us; in this respect, we are inferior to him."
Among the crowd, countless people whispered among themselves, their faces filled with both anticipation and worry.
They hoped that Ye Ru could really defeat Ji Wei, but they were worried that if Ye Ru lost, his reputation as a genius would come to an end.
Exhaling, Ye Ru slowly opened his hands, and the talent energy in his inner palace gradually increased, eventually forming a protective shield of talent energy that resisted the oppressive talent energy of the other party.
He knew that the other party must have been instructed by the Left Prime Minister to do this. If he were defeated here, his reputation would be ruined, and no matter what he did, he would have to bear the name of a loser.
If he doesn't accept the challenge, the entire capital will be abuzz with news tomorrow that Ye Ru and Ji Weiwen are locked in a battle, and that the former lacks the courage to accept.
Therefore, destroying Ye Ruwen's reputation is the real purpose of the Left Prime Minister!
