Chapter 176
As the first master of the Lingnan County Temple, Ouyang Shaoji has great authority and no one can surpass him in the entire county.
The cultivation level of this first hall master has long reached the peak of the star-gazing realm, and is one of the existences standing at the top of the martial arts of Lingnan County.
At this time, Wang Bokun sat opposite Ouyang Shaoji, with a serious and respectful expression.
Ouyang Shaoji lowered his eyelids, and there was a trace of mysterious energy flowing slowly on the surface of his body.
It was very quiet in the main hall.
I don’t know how long it took, but the first palace master finally had his eyes in front of him, and the mysterious energy on his body was then closed, looking at Wang Bokun opposite him.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Seeing Ouyang Shaoji's eyes looking at him, Wang Bokun quickly lowered his head and leaned his body forward slightly to show his respect.
Ouyang Shaoji spoke and said in a calm voice: "Have you not found that disciple of Yangding Academy named Ning Lan?"
More than two months have passed since Wang Hai was killed by Ning Lan.
Wang Bokun said in a low voice: "We sent a large number of people to search for the seventy-two cities in the county, but we have not found any trace of this child yet. We focus on the two places of Yangding Academy and Jiangbei City, but this child seems to have evaporated from the world and has never appeared."
"Based on the intelligence analysis we have obtained so far, there is only one person who knows where Ning Lan is hiding, which is Wu Xue, the dean of the Tuyou College of Yangding Academy. However, Wu Xue is unwilling to cooperate with my Wang family, and he is even more unwilling to tell Ning Lan's whereabouts. Because he is the dean of Yangding Academy, it is not convenient for our Wang family to directly use force to force him to submit."
If it weren't for the identity of the dean of the school, the Wang family might have arrested Wu Xue and tortured and interrogated him long ago.
Ouyang Shaoji half-squinted his eyes.
He said slowly: "What are your requests for you to see me today?"
Wang Bokun stood up and bowed and said, "The Wang family hopes that the Yangding Academy can remove Wu Xue from the position of dean, so it is best to expel him from the Academy. If this person is not protected by the aura of the Academy, the Wang family will have no scruples on him."
"The Lord of the Palace, the Wang family and Yangding Academy have had several harsh negotiations. However, the Lord of the Xiao Yun Palace is not willing to accept the Wang family's suggestion to remove Wu Xue from his post."
The Wang family now put all the hope of finding Ning Lan on Wu Xue.
However, because Wu Xue is the dean of Yangding Academy, the Wang family is concerned about it and it is not convenient to take action against him directly.
If the temple is not allowed, if the Wang family attacks the dean of the school, let alone whether this move will cause a strong counterattack from the school, it will not be possible to pass the temple alone. Doing that way is equivalent to provoking the majesty of the temple.
All the six university governments are under the jurisdiction of the temple. More than 90% of the resources used by the six university governments to train young warriors are directly allocated from the temple.
Because of this, the Wang family has encountered a difficult obstacle to solve. So the patriarch Wang Bokun had to come to find Ouyang Shaoji, the first hall leader, again.
Ouyang Shaoji shook his head and said, "Although the six university governments are all under the jurisdiction of the temple, the university has a high degree of autonomy over its internal affairs, including the appointment of personnel positions, etc. The temple is not convenient to intervene directly. Besides, the president Wu Xue from Yangding Academy has no serious faults."
"There is another point. Although I am the first temple master, I am not the only one in the temple. In addition to the temple master, there is also the Council below. The temple resolution is not the final decision of me alone."
"Captain Bokun, your son Wang Hai and that Ning Lan are both disciples of Yangding Academy. Wang Hai was killed by Ning Lan on the arena of the Academy. Strictly speaking, the young warrior named Ning Lan himself has no fault. If you want to avenge your son, it is untenable in theory."
After hearing these words from the First Palace Master, Wang Bokun's face became even more gloomy.
He bowed deeply again and said in a calm voice: "Please help me, Lord Lord!"
Ouyang Shaoji sighed lightly and said, "Captain Bokun, if you must find Ning Lan and avenge Wang Hai, then at present, there is only one way or may be possible. And this method may require your Wang family to pay a very huge price. This price is enough to greatly damage your Wang family's vitality, and it will be difficult to recover your vitality in the next ten years."
"Are your Wang family willing to pay such a huge price?"
Wang Bokun's breath condensed and he shouted: "The Wang family will do anything to kill Ning Lan! Lord Lord, killing Ning Lan is not just avenging Wang Hai. The entire county is known that my Wang Bokun's son was killed by Ning Lan, and the Wang family searched for Ning Lan in the whole county. If in the end, my Wang family cannot find this son or kill this son, the family's face will inevitably be damaged, and such losses may be greater."
Taking a deep breath, he continued, "So, in order to kill this son, the Wang family will do whatever it takes!"
The current patriarch of the Wang family's current patriarch was extremely firm in his attitude to kill Ning Lan.
Ouyang Shaoji nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Yangding Academy is unwilling to remove Wu Xue from his position as president. Because Wu Xue is the dean of the school, the Wang family cannot attack him. Then, we can ban Yangding Academy first. If the school is gone, Wu Xue's dean of the school will naturally disappear."
Wang Bokun's eyes lit up.
Canceling Yangding Academy?
This is indeed the most direct and effective method.
Ouyang Shaoji continued: "It is not something I can decide alone to ban Yangding Academy. This is a major event and all the lords of the Temple need to agree. Then, now we are facing a new problem. There are six lords in the temple, including me. Other lords may agree to ban Yangding Academy, but he will not agree. His attitude towards banning Yangding Academy has always been opposed and very fierce."
"As long as the Palace Master Meng Yuhui alone opposes, the resolution to ban Yangding Academy will not be established."
If it weren't for the third hall leader Meng Yuhui who had always opposed it, Yangding Academy might have been banned long ago.
The six university governments in Lingnan County may have become five university governments long ago.
Wang Bokun frowned and looked at Ouyang Shaoji and said, "I have dealt with the main man Meng Yuhui Palace. He doesn't seem to be a person who is easily convinced. I wonder if our Wang family has given him a lot of resources, can he keep silent in this matter?"
Ouyang Shaoji waved his hand, then shook his head and said, "The relationship between Meng Yuhui and Yangding Academy is not as simple as you imagined. He will not change his position just because of some cultivation resources and agree to ban Yangding Academy."
In fact, the relationship between the third hall leader Meng Yuhui and the first hall leader Ouyang Shaoji has always been relatively stiff.
Ouyang Shaoji really disliked Meng Yuhui, the palace master who always sang the opposite tune with him.
