Chapter 218: Heaven Dao Sage Tablet

The storm in the Yan Capital didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Instantly, it grew stronger and stronger.

This caused the air in the Imperial ACademy to seem somewhat stressful. Especially after ”All hail the emperor!” sounded out from outside the door, everybody felt as if there was a huge stone in their hearts.

From the time the World of the Sage had went out of control till now, a very long time had pa.s.sed.

However, it still didn't seem to have any intent of recovering.

One must know that the people within the World of the Sage were all the future creme of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was like the foundation of a dynasty.

They represented the future of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If there was no future, how could a dynasty survive for long?

Especially when the Xing Qingsui of the Stabilisation Constabulary was also trapped within. That was the son of the first wife of the Stabilisation Constabulary's Xing Hou, the a.s.signed successor of the Stabilisation Constabulary.

Most importantly was Ping Yang.

The Princess Ping Yang who was favored the most by the Emperor, a person whom no accidents must occur to.

King Duan Lin Xinjue didn't personally report this to Emperor Lin Mubai. He knew very well Emperor Lin Mubai's reaction after hearing this piece of news.

Furthermore, there still wasn't a confirmed answer to the incident occurring inside the World of the Sage.

Under such circ.u.mstances…

Why would he be willing to take responsibility for this unknown storm? However, this was an imminent storm. Even if he wanted to avoid it, there was no way to do so.

Hence, he could only accept it.

King Duan Lin Xinjue stood up from his chair. Han Changfeng naturally stood up as well. However, once the two of them stood up, they knelt down on the floor together.

Other than King Duan Lin Xinjue and Han Changfeng, all the Imperial Messengers in the Imperial Academy also knelt down on the ground.

n.o.body dared to raise their heads.

The footsteps outside the door grew nearer and nearer, then it stopped.

Lin Mubai wore a golden dragon robe and stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes carried an expression that was completely out of harmony with his appearance. He didn't look at the people kneeling down onto the ground. Instead, he only gazed at the somewhat empty room.

Behind him, stood Ninth Prince Lin Yun dressed in a brocade robe, Crown Prince Lin Tianrong dressed in a white dragon robe, Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping drssed in a white official robe, and the Six Council Officials of the dynasty.

By right, Crown Prince Lin Tianrong could avoid this matter altogether. However, he still came. Because, he was the crown prince, the crown prince that controlled the imperial government.

He simply had no way of s.h.i.+rking this responsibility.

Hence, Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping naturally came as well.

If the Emperor, the crown prince, and the left prime minister were all present, how would the Six Council Officials dare not to come?

”Your imperial examination was indeed held very well. I remember when we were choosing the chief examiner of the imperial examination, each of you fought so hard for this, promising to do it very well. But now?” Emperor Lin Mubai spoke.

The emptiness of the room reflected that the World of the Sage was still out of control. Then, things wouldn't be solved very easily.

King Duan Lin Xinjue lowered his head. The other imperial messengers also kowtowed on the floor.

n.o.body dared to reply. Because, everybody could hear the anger that Emperor Lin Mubai attempted to conceal in his tone. Once the Son of Heaven raged, no matter how high you stood, you could still fall a thousand yards.

”Speak!” Emperor Lin Mubai spoke again. A powerful aura expanded outwards.

This caused King Duan Lin Xinjue's back to instantly become soaked with sweat. He wanted to speak, but his throat felt unnaturally dry. He couldn't produce a single sound.

Han Changfeng's forehead was also beaded with sweat. However, he couldn't follow King Duan Lin Xinjue and remain silent. Because, he was the chief examiner of the imperial examination.

Hence, no matter what happened, he couldn't remain silent.

”I feel that the World of the Sage being out of control, might be… a good thing!” Han Changfeng lowered his head. Even a man as calm as him felt an immense pressure when faced with the air of a dragon that Emperor Lin Mubai gave off.

”A good thing? Mister Han please continue.” Emperor Lin Mubai didn't sit down. Instead, he stood on the spot without a change in his expression.

”Replying Your Majesty, ever since I became the imperial messenger of the Imperial Academy, and held the

the role as chief examiner for the imperial examinations for so many years, I had always been cautious and conscientious, and displayed utter loyalty and responsibility. I had never made any mistakes. I don't believe that this imperial examination is affected by external powers. The reason might be because related to the fact that Fang Zhengzhi had broken the Broken Bridge, the Twin Stone Tablets and the stone house.” Han Changfeng gritted his teeth.

”Continue.”

”I believe that the World of the Sage being out of control seems very dangerous, but, it might be a test. A test given by the World of the Sage to the examinees. The World of the Sage is a world created by Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian. Hence, no matter how dangerous the test would be, there wouldn't be any threats to their lives. The longer it dragged meant that the examinees went through more tests. Could… this be a form of opportunity?” When Han Changfeng finished his sentence, his heart tightened.

This was the best way of putting things. It was equivalent to pus.h.i.+ng himself towards the place where the wind and the waves were the fiercest. If his guess was correct, he could naturally avoid a disaster being pinned onto his head.

However, if a real problem occurred...

The charge of hosting the examination inappropriately would be worsened.

However, Han Changfeng didn't have any other choices. Because, if there was really something bad occuring in the World of the Sage, there was simply no way he could avoid the charges. Since he would be in trouble either way, what harm would there be in adding another charge to this?

”Oh?” When Emperor Lin Mubai heard this, his brows clearly relaxed.
