At this time, the Dajin Dynasty had entered late autumn. The last ray of warmth of summer gradually faded away, and the weather gradually became capricious.

It is possible that the sun is still shining brightly in the morning, but in the afternoon, the autumn rain makes people feel cold all over.

It started drizzling again in Luoyang City today, but compared to the cold temperature, a message from the Spring and Autumn Academy is even more heart-warming.

Pei Yuanji is dead.

Pei Yuanji, who has always dominated the top three in the Jinyun list, was born into a family of saints, and is known as the number one genius in contemporary Spring and Autumn Academy, died.

Dead on the life and death stage of Chunqiu Academy.

It is true that the Pei family where Pei Yuanji is located is not listed among the nine major families of the Dajin Dynasty, but no one dares to ignore the power of the Pei family hidden in the secular world and its influence on the entire world of cultivation.

After all, there is a holy rank in the Pei family!

Could it be that Chunqiu Academy is about to turn against the Sword Saint?

Just when people were caught off guard by this sudden news, it was reported that the person who killed Pei Yuanji with a sword on the life and death stage was Xia Sheng, who had become famous in the capital in recent days.

After the news spread, it caused a thousand waves like a stone, shocking the entire world of practice.

Who is Xia Sheng?

If no one had heard of this name a few months ago, then since the Qin family, almost all practitioners have known about this rural boy who came out of Baima Town.

Because Xia Sheng is the younger sister-in-law of the Marquis of Weining, because Xia Sheng is the teacher of Miss Shantang, and because Xia Sheng is the honorary teacher of Chunqiu Academy.

Not to mention, Xia Sheng once took out the legendary copybook of good deeds in front of all civil and military officials, and was named the crown prince and Grand Tutor by His Majesty in front of the current civil and military officials!

If Pei Yuanji's life experience is fearful, then Xia Sheng's backstage should not be underestimated!

And now, Xia Sheng actually killed Pei Yuanji?

For a moment, no one even cared about how he did it, but wanted to know more about why Xia Sheng did this and what the result would be after doing this.

Many people with far-sighted vision have smelled a scent of storm.

If Lord Sword Saint was desperate to avenge Pei Yuanji, can Chunqiu Academy, without the guard of the saint, be able to stop it?

Even if the Qin family and the Ye family are not worried about past grudges and join forces to become enemies with the Pei family, what a painful price they will pay?

The saint was angry and buried in millions of corpses!

I wonder if this autumn rain can wash away the layers of bright red on the mountaintops in the future?

But what people didn't expect was that the first one to react to this matter was not the Pei family, the Shantang, nor the Weining Marquis' Mansion, but the imperial court!

On that day, Eunuch Zhao came to the Chunqiu Academy with the emperor's imperial edict. In front of Tang Zi'an, he announced His Majesty's commendation to Xia Sheng!

That's right, it's a reward!

On the long golden silk, Xia Sheng was given a generous reward of ten pieces of brocade, five pearls, three Yushan conghes, and other officials, and the emperor was awarded the title of the Imperial College for sacrificing wine!

The reason is that Xia Sheng has achieved remarkable results in teaching several princes and has great talents in teaching and educating people, so he is hereby awarded them.

Such an order immediately made many people stunned.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that these reasons are purely nonsense. Even ghosts can't deceive you.

Since Xia Sheng took office as the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, he has done nothing at all. He has not said that he has been in seclusion in the back mountain of the academy in the previous month. Later, he finally took a leave and went down the mountain, but he did not enter the palace to meet the saint. After that, Xia Sheng killed Pei Yuanji in the academy.

Not to mention teaching all the princes, he has never seen the faces of several princes until today!

Remarkable results?

Where did the results come from?

Could it be that he used the method of hiring a dream to teach the princes?

So in fact, it doesn’t matter what reason Emperor Jin used to honor Xia Sheng. What’s important is what attitude His Majesty the Emperor wants to express!

Isn’t it adding fuel to the fire on the Pei family’s head at this critical moment?

Wouldn't he be afraid that the Sword Saint would completely rebel against the court in anger?

Although the holy level can be killed by human lives, how much does it cost?

Why did Emperor Jin offend a saint-level emperor for free for the sake of Xia Sheng, a young man who was only sixteen years old?

I haven't heard of any extraordinary things that the Pei family has done to confront the imperial court, insult and royal dignity!

For a moment, people were a little confused about the situation.

It is said that even Si Qinzun, the ruling who was most loyal to the emperor, could not figure out what the priest's will wanted to do.

So in the next few days, the people of the Judgment Office maintained an absolutely neutral attitude in this matter.

Neither offend the Pei family nor cause trouble for Xia Sheng.

Later, people finally learned the truth from the head of the Li family.

It turns out that things are far less complicated than everyone imagined.

Emperor Jin's imperial edict was not announcing the suppression of the Pei family, nor was it forcing the Sword Saint to rebel, but because he believed the advice of the Tianshi of Zhanxingtai and the Taoist Taoist of Taiwei.

According to Taiwei Taoist, the Spring and Autumn Academy Guardians opened that day because a disaster star came to the world. If the cause is not found out, the country will be out of power in the future and the world will be in chaos.

The teachers and students of the Chunqiu Academy knew that the strange phenomenon of the sun and the moon shining together that day was actually caused by Pei Yuanji's inspiration of the saint's object in his hand.

In other words, the disaster star predicted by Taiwei Taoist is Pei Yuanji!

Out of fear of the Pei family, Taiwei Taoist kept hiding the news and did not report it until Pei Yuan died. The old master rushed into the palace and presented the astrology he had deduced in recent days to the front of the imperial court.

Emperor Jin has always trusted Taiwei Taoist's opinions and immediately issued an edict to reward Xia Sheng, who was successful in "anti-traitors", and even asked Eunuch Zhao to go to the Spring and Autumn Academy to announce the edict in person.

As soon as this statement was made, all the three ministers present at that time changed their colors.

It is said that Ye Xiang was also witnessing this incident with his own eyes, but Ye Xiang did not protect Xia Sheng too much. Instead, he advised Emperor Jin: "The Pei family has a saint, and the matter is very important. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Faced with the old prime minister's worries, Emperor Jin said something very famous in the future.

"I am the emperor of Dajin, the emperor of the nine provinces and the four seas. The other saints are false saints and small families, so why should I be afraid?"

So in this autumn rain, Xia Sheng, in addition to the position of Prince and Taishi, also added another title before his name.

The Imperial College is offering wine.

It was also in this same autumn rain that an old man from the Pei family who had not been born for a long time came outside Luoyang City, but he could not enter. He only stood outside the city gate for a moment, and then he wanted to turn around and leave for Buju Mountain.

Unfortunately, he was stopped before he even walked to the gate of Chunqiu Academy.

The person who came was also an old man, the black jade crutch in his hand was radiating warmth in the rain.
