When Zhu Xinjue changed his name and surname, Yang Chengze also got involved under Zhu Yiji's instructions, using his SR-rated Subtle Influence to change the minds of some students who suspected Zhu Xinjue was Zhu Pengfei.
After Xiang Beifei led his team out of the Withered Forest, Yang Chengze pursued him, intending to pin Zhu Xinjue's death on Xiang Beifei as well.
Unfortunately for him, he still underestimated Xiang Beifei.
But last time, Xiang Beifei's strength wasn't enough to really influence Yang Chengze's thoughts and could only slightly guide him, but now it was different.
However, Xiaohei had already charged out from Professor Guo's feet, extending its small claws, and shattered the Square and Round Rules beneath Sun Heshun's feet!
"Minister Zhu! Commander He! You two have gone too far!"
Sun Heshun, initially restrained, finally broke free and immediately cried out to stop them.
Zhu Yiji's expression darkened once again!
Sun Heshun had also broken through his own Square and Round Rules?
Yet Zhu Yiji could no longer take action!
The matter of today, he was already on shaky ground, and once he acted against anyone,
it also made He Caiwei realize something.
He still had a chance to prove his innocence. He was dragged into this matter, but those words were only heard by Zhao Yong from Wu Shixuan claiming He Caiwei instigated it; even if Zhao Yong said it, it couldn't directly prove that the setup had anything to do with him!
The only way to clear his own name now was to sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot!
That is to say, Wu Shixuan must be kicked aside!
He just has to say that Wu Shixuan is framing him!
A hint of coldness appeared in He Caiwei's eyes!
The entire conference room had become a place of drawn swords and tense bows.
"Everyone stop! Don't be so presumptuous!" Zhu Yiji finally stood up, voicing a cold command, "You three, dare to cause trouble in the school, do you really not take me seriously?"
His gaze, like an eagle's, fixed on the three of them, especially lingering on Xiang Beifei. Even he had not noticed how Xiang Beifei had appeared in the classroom, which made him apprehensive!
But at this moment, Zhu Yiji alone stood tall with an aura like the midday sun!
He was still the most powerful person here!
He could still suppress these few people!
He quickly glanced at his system interface—
[Luo Yunxian has been detected to be angry, would you like to spend uniqueness value to enhance your defenses?]
However, Luo Yunxian had already raised his hand,
When He Caiwei's momentum hit the invisible barrier in front of Professor Guo, it was like slamming into a firm city wall, with strange Spiritual Power circulating all around it, completely neutralizing and transforming He Caiwei's attack, and then redirected it back along the same path—the attack recoiled on its initiator!
He Caiwei was once again repelled by Professor Guo's counter!
To be precise, he was repelled by his own momentum!
He Caiwei stared intensely at Professor Guo!
In the past, he only knew that Professor Guo was strong, but because Professor Guo only had a mid-stage orifice transforming strength, he never took the SR-rated Professor Guo seriously!
But he had overlooked one thing.
Professor Guo, with his mid-stage orifice transforming strength, might not have many attack methods, nor great attack power, but he possessed the strongest defense in the alliance!
This defense, was his confidence to withstand a late-stage orifice transforming martial artist!
For him, the strongest defense, was the counterattack!
And He Caiwei, simply couldn't shake him!
"What's going on? Tell me the truth!" Zhu Yiji demanded.
Zhao Yong slapped his forehead and said, "Wu Shixuan was muttering to himself at that time, he said that Zhu Yiji and He Caiwei both wanted to deal with Luo Yunxian, and he needed to take care of Professor Guo, who was close to Luo Yunxian. So, framing Professor Guo would require our false testimony! If he does this well, there should be great appreciation for him...right! There's another person named Zhu Yiji, just like He Caiwei, also instructing Wu Shixuan to frame Professor Guo!"
Zhao Yong blurted it all out in one go!
As his words came out, the whole meeting room fell silent!
The twenty plus leaders of Liangzhou University in attendance were all inhaling sharply, feeling the chill!
Zhao Yong was saying that Zhu Yiji was also involved in the framing of Professor Guo?
It is known that Zhu Yiji's "Frankness Without Evasion" ability is Witnessed by All; in this black square, absolutely no one lies!
This means, what Zhao Yong is saying now, is one hundred percent—the truth!
Zhu Yiji allowed Zhao Yong to reveal that he was also one of the culprits?
"Mr. Ye, how about your psychic defense? Can you block the influence of the UR Awakener System like Elder Luo?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Many high-level System Awakeners can control lower-level systems with their own system. Ye Changfeng's strength and talent were considered slightly above average in the alliance, but not a significant advantage.
"Barely. Many people in the alliance have grievances against Elder Luo and try to probe his secrets through me, so I have specially trained my spiritual power with Elder Luo. While I may not reach his level, at least I can protect myself."
Ye Changfeng's spiritual power was extremely strong; after all, he was Elder Luo's Direct Disciple. His talent might seem insignificant compared to Xiang Beifei, but in fact, he far surpassed the other SRs.
Given the envy the alliance harbored toward Elder Luo, many naturally attempted to target Ye Changfeng. Abilities that forced truth-telling or confused facts were types of psychic manipulations, and therefore he trained fiercely in defending against such psychic abilities to prevent those situations from occurring.
