C245 After Careful Consideration
"Alright, let's do it the same way. Let's vote!" Bai Zhentang saw that the Martial Saint in the crowd was also very hesitant, so he simply said, "Those who agree to expel Zi Tianhao from the Wutian Academy, raise your hand..."2
This ten thousand Martial Saint was naturally the first to raise his hand. At the same time, , he also used his eyes to pressure the other Martial Saint. Many of them were afraid of the might of the Myriad Martial Saints. Therefore, they raised their hands one after another. In the end, nine of them, including the Martial Saint, agreed to expel Zi Tianhao from the Wutian Academy.
"What about those who don't agree?" Bai Zhentang continued asking.
On the other side, Loong Mei was not in a hurry to raise her hand. Instead, she looked at the Martial Saint that she did not raise her hand earlier. Her coquettish eyes blinked as she looked at them one by one. After looking at them, those Martial Saint could not help but raise their hands. It was really difficult to resist Loong Mei's bewitching look.
Only after the remaining eight raised their hands did Loong Mei slowly raise her hand. Similarly, nine of them did not agree.
"Four to four? Does this mean that it is still up to me to decide?" Bai Zhentang shook his head. The voting for the eight Martial Saints was tied. This also meant that his final vote was also very important and of great significance.
"Dean, you have to think about the reputation of Wutian Academy. Don't hesitate!" Wan Martial Saint also advised earnestly.
Loong Mei, on the other hand, did not say anything. She just looked at Bai Zhentang quietly.
In fact, Bai Zhentang had his own considerations. In terms of the overall situation, Zi Tianhao would definitely be expelled from the Wutian Academy, because it didn't matter whether Zi Tianhao really was the murderer or not. However, because of this, the news had spread throughout the entire Xuan Yi Stage. Furthermore... It would soon spread throughout the Divine Profound Continent, so once Zi Tianhao was identified as the murderer... By spreading false rumors, even if Zi Tianhao was proven innocent in the future... It would still leave a stain on the Wutian Academy's reputation. Therefore, the Wutian Academy had never hesitated to expel such a matter. After that, they didn't ask any further questions.
However, considering Loong Mei's interference, Bai Zhentang felt that there might be something fishy about this matter. Just as Loong Mei had said, Zi Tianhao's talent and aptitude were indeed very shocking. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, based on Zi Tianhao's performance during the past few months in the Wutian Academy as a new disciple, he absolutely believed Loong Mei's judgment.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to make a choice for the time being. However, as the dean, he absolutely couldn't take any chances. Therefore, he immediately sighed and continued, "I think it's better to expel Zi Tianhao from Wu Tian first..."
Before Bai Zhentang could say anything, Wan Martial Saint had already revealed a smile. This was because one didn't need to listen to him to know that Bai Zhentang's decision was definitely to expel Zi Tianhao from the Wutian Academy and clean up his family, so as to avoid provoking him.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside, "Reporting to the dean, there was a secret letter from the Aoshi Academy just now..."
When Bai Zhentang heard this, he naturally felt that it was strange. Why would the Aoshi Academy suddenly wear a secret letter out of nowhere? However, he immediately ordered someone to send the secret letter in. When he received the secret letter and opened it, he immediately... He said with a shocked expression, "This... How is this possible?"
Other than Loong Mei, who was surprised by Bai Zhentang's sudden surprised voice, the other Martial Saint present also didn't know much about it. They thought to themselves, what exactly was in the secret letter that caused the dignified dean to lose his composure like this!
"It seems like this Zi Tianhao can't be expelled." Bai Zhentang, who had already made up his mind, immediately gave up on the idea.
"Why?" When Wan Martial Saint heard this, he was not in a hurry to question.
"Because the Martial Saint of the Aoshi Academy is willing to use its reputation to protect Zi Tianhao. It is absolutely impossible for Zi Tianhao to do such a heinous and heinous thing. If Zi Tianhao really did something wrong, she would be fully responsible for it. Moreover, she also said that if we expel Zi Tianhao from the Wutian Academy... She would represent the Aoshi Academy to accept Zi Tianhao immediately..." Bai Zhentang repeated the contents of the secret letter.
When the Martial Saint heard this, they were also shocked. They never thought that Consort Mo's Martial Saint would protect Zi Tianhao with her own reputation. This was simply inconceivable!
On the other hand, Loong Mei had a calm expression because of the news of Zi Tianhao's accident. She had long passed the news to Consort Shu and let Consort Shu handle it on her own. Obviously, Consort Shu did not disappoint her either. Of course, she also used the condition of not revealing the contents of the Marriage Contract for the time being. Otherwise, Consort Shu would not have used her reputation to protect Zi Tianhao.
"Dean, we cannot choose to believe that Zi Tianhao because of a few words from that Consort Mo Martial Saint who looked down on the academy. Perhaps this Aoshi Academy is trying to embarrass our Wutian Academy. Therefore... Wan Martial Saint immediately suspected that this was a plot of the Aoshi Academy.
"If Consort Mo hadn't thought about it carefully, this secret letter wouldn't have been sent out." Bai Zhentang frowned, even though he didn't quite understand what Consort Mo was doing. However, even the famous Consort Mo Martial Saint of the Aoshi Academy chose to believe in Zi Tianhao. If the Wutian Academy didn't believe him, it would definitely cause a commotion.
"But..." Wan Martial Saint wanted to say something, but Bai Zhentang waved his hand. Then he said to Loong Mei, "Martial Saint Mei Hou will be in charge of investigating the blood case of the Heaven Sect. Try to restore the truth as much as possible. As for the matter of Zi Tianhao being expelled from Wutian Academy... Stay on the agenda for the time being. However, in order to avoid arousing criticism, he still had to remove Zi Tianhao from the list of new students. He wouldn't be regarded as a new student of Wutian Academy. In any case... He had already made an exception and was selected to join the Delicate Martial Area. If he was wrongly accused... Then, he would return to the Wutian Academy as Wu Sheng in the future, but if it was really a crime he had committed... Then, the Wutian Academy would never forgive him... Let's call it a day!" After saying that, he stood up straight and left.
The Martial Saint in the square also looked at each other and left one after another, leaving only Loong Mei and Wan Martial Saint staring at each other.
"Martial Saint Mei Hou, you will pay the price for this." Wan Martial Saint warned Loong Mei and left.
"Old man, don't think that I don't know that you have a close relationship with the current patriarch of Zi Family. This time, you tried your best to expel Zi Tianhao from the Wutian Academy. It's highly likely that you have received some kind of benefits from the Zi Family. Hmph, I won't let you get away with this! " Loong Mei looked at the Ten Thousand Martial Saints that had left, and her eyes also became cold. " But where is Zi Tianhao now? If he isn't dead, he should be here by now."
The next day, the decision to punish Zi Tianhao was announced to the public by the Wutian Academy. It was announced to the entire Xuan Yi Stage. However, Consort Mo's Martial Saint and Martial Saint Mei Hou also made a personal statement, expressing their doubts about the Heaven Sect's blood case. And... Support for Zi Tianhao's innocence, such a dramatic change... It shocked countless people. No one would have thought that the two most famous people in Divine Profound Continent, Martial Saintess, would come. When Zi Tianhao was being pointed at by thousands of people, they actually had a tacit understanding to protect Zi Tianhao at the same time. And she chose to believe in Zi Tianhao. Because of this, people couldn't help but wonder what kind of ambiguous relationship Zi Tianhao had with these two famous Martial Saintess!
Even so, there was no news of Zi Tianhao because Zi Tianhao seemed to have a guilty conscience. His whereabouts were unknown, but the truth of the massacre in Heaven Sect was still shrouded in layers of mysterious mist. No one knew what the truth was, but as long as Zi Tianhao didn't show up, no one would know. He was the biggest suspect!
