Chapter 269 Going Out
Holding the two heavy bottles of Black Tiger Blood Ink in his hands, Ye Ru's lips curled into a smile, and he felt even more grateful for Ji Kang's actions.
"This black tiger blood ink can be used as pigment or ink, and it can enhance the power of poetry by at least 50%. Therefore, it is a priceless treasure, and you should cherish it."
"Moreover, as the saying goes, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.' Generally speaking, one should never flaunt it, unless absolutely necessary, otherwise it may very well bring about one's death, even if I know you are exceptionally talented."
Ji Kang said solemnly.
Ye Ru nodded. The black tiger blood ink was rare and valuable, and it was a fatal temptation for some scholars who had completely lost their sense of propriety and shame, as well as some intellectuals. They did not take pride in pursuing the holy path, but they showed a lot of money mentality. Once they were targeted, trouble would probably come one after another.
"Judging by the time, you will be leaving soon. This is all I can give you, but it is still quite a reward. In the future, the cause of humanity will depend on you."
Ji Kang paused for a moment, then spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru sighed but remained silent.
"All good things must come to an end. I will be watching you from heaven. Don't let me down."
"Rest assured, esteemed Confucian scholar Ji Kang, I will protect the Yanhuang Kingdom with my own flesh and blood. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will surely be wrapped in a horse's hide!"
Ye Ru said in a deep voice.
Ji Kang nodded, his face full of satisfaction. With a flick of his sleeve, a gourd shot out and landed in Ye Ru's hand.
"Alright, here you go too. Be sure not to let it fall into the hands of the Demon Saint, otherwise it will be a great calamity for the human race."
"Don't worry, I'll keep it safe and it definitely won't happen again like this time."
Ye Ru held the magic gourd firmly and said.
"Alright, go out now. The future of humanity is in the hands of you young people."
Ji Kang then waved his sleeve, and Ye Ru's body was gradually surrounded by light, eventually disappearing completely within it.
"Great Confucian scholar Ji Kang, take care!"
Ye Ru knew that this parting might be the last time they would meet.
Watching Ye Ru disappear, Ji Kang showed a hint of dejection, but ultimately responded with a smile:
"To have survived from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the present day is not a loss. I wonder how those brothers are doing... Shan Juyuan, when I wrote the 'Letter of Severance of Ties with Shan Juyuan,' I was really biased... Everyone has their own ambitions, and one should always be firm in one's own heart."
……
At this moment, all the teachers and students of Yingtian Academy are solemnly heading towards one place, the final destination being the place where many teachers fought the Black Tiger Demon Saint that day.
The entire area has been rebuilt, but the place where the Black Tiger Demon Saint was located remains in ruins. Inside, a human student managed to withstand the Black Tiger Demon Saint's fatal blow to a teacher with his own flesh and blood, but was ultimately devoured.
At this moment, a girl stood in the Tower of Boya, staring blankly at the withered corpse of the Black Tiger Demon Saint, a look of haggardness on her face.
All the students couldn't help but look at the woman, but they all knew her identity: Su Tongyao, the fiancée of the deceased Ye Ru.
"We made a promise back in Qingyun County that there would be no separation in life, only separation in death. Why did you leave me?"
Su Tongyao murmured, completely unaffected by the others.
"Alas, heaven is jealous of talent."
Xiao Bai also looked grave, seemingly unable to believe that Ye Ru was dead.
"Xiaobai, you said..."
"Impossible. The chances of surviving being devoured by a demon saint are almost nil."
Before Su Tongyao could finish speaking, Xiaobai interrupted.
"Grand Scholar, Mr. Yu..."
As more and more people arrived, Grand Secretary Su and others followed, along with Pang Jun, Song Feng, Chen Sijun, Wen Xiang, and others.
"I never expected that although Ye Ru had only recently risen to fame, he had done more for my Yanhuang Kingdom than a great Confucian scholar had ever done in his entire life. Yet today, I watched him die right before my eyes, and I was still helpless."
With a hint of melancholy in his eyes, Minister Li Baiyuan spoke softly.
"Yes, poor nursery rhymes..."
Song Feng sighed, drawing everyone's attention to the beautiful woman in the distance.
"Life and death are unpredictable. The imperial court has already sent people here and will give Tong Yao a proper status."
Pang Jun stroked his beard and said.
"Minister Wen, is there really no way to save them? I've heard that the National Academy has a medicine that can bring people back to life."
Chen Sijun turned away from Su Tongyao and said to Li Baiyuan with an anxious expression.
"Yes, there is. If Ye Ru's remains were still here, I would definitely use all my strength to retrieve this medicine. But now, even if Ye Ru's remains are gone, given his virginity, he has probably already been devoured by the Black Tiger Demon Saint."
Li Baiyuan sighed, then smiled bitterly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Sijun fell silent and sighed as well.
"Wenxiang, Sijun, you're both here."
Chen Changfeng walked slowly over, looked at the Black Tiger Demon Saint, and said in a deep voice:
"I never expected that this demon saint had been hiding in Yingtian Academy for so many years, and there were quite a few ghost scholars among them. It seems necessary to take back the remains of this black tiger demon saint and thoroughly investigate the four academies to prevent this incident from happening again."
"Yes, not only the four major academies, but the entire Yanhuang Kingdom should be thoroughly investigated, so that all the treacherous scholars hiding among the human race will be buried with Ye Ru!"
At that moment, a powerful voice rang out, and Chen Tianjian descended from the sky on auspicious clouds, landing on the ground with a murderous look on his face, and said:
"Not only that, but three days later, I dispatched troops and captured three camps of the demon race!"
Seeing Chen Tianjian's murderous aura, Wen Xiang and the others all smiled bitterly and then shook their heads.
“Master Chen, a man of both literary and military talents, you must take the corpse of the Black Tiger Demon Saint with you.”
Grand Scholar Su bowed to these people, feeling extremely shocked. These people, who were usually elusive, had all gathered together for the sake of Ye Ru, and it seemed they were preparing for something big.
"Su Bansheng is coming soon. Once he arrives, we will take away the corpse of the Black Tiger Demon Saint and erect a monument and write a biography for Ye Ru at the National Saint Academy."
"It was a deep, solemn voice," Chen Daru said.
"In my humble opinion, historians should include Ye Ru in the annals of history. Although Ye Ru did not make the contributions of Confucius and Mencius, his contributions before this matter are enough to be included in the annals of history."
Grand Scholar Su's expression was uncertain, but finally he gritted his teeth and said.
The Confucian family is one of the thirty great families. Although Confucius was not from a prominent family, his contributions were enough for Sima Qian, the historian, to include him in the family.
"Well, this matter still needs to be assessed by historians using the Grand Historian's Records, a treasure of the historians, before a judgment can be made."
Chen Changfeng said.
At this moment, a patch of auspicious multicolored clouds appeared in the sky once more, and then Su Wenmo descended from the sky with a solemn expression, addressing the crowd:
"Let's go, carry away this demon saint's corpse and put it in the National Saint Academy."
Su Wenmo, with a few traces of blood on his body, spoke calmly, but his eyes held a hint of anger.
"Where did the Half-Saint go? How did he get so much blood on his hands?"
Chen Changfeng and the others were stunned when they saw the blood on Su Wenmo's body. However, before they could finish speaking, the latter's calm voice made them all gasp:
"Killing three demon lords of the demon race can be considered revenge for Ye Ru..."
