Explorer of Teyvat

I chatted with the scholars for a while and learned about the current situation of some students and gentlemen in the academy.

Wang Daoyi waved away the two men and stayed alone in the pavilion.

"There are currently two aspects of information. One is that the Fools are collecting students' information. It seems that they are preparing to do something about the students. Perhaps, after they confirm the attitudes of most students, the students in the college, You will be encouraged by them to actively participate in the selection of the dean."

"The Fools are all around, and they can control students' choices. Unless Seven Stars uses their power to parachute a dean, the person they support is very likely to be elected."

"But if Qixing uses his power to parachute someone here, the atmosphere in the academy will definitely deteriorate. At that time, fools can also achieve the purpose of destroying cultural heritage."

"No. This purpose is probably Pantalone's own. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the twisted Emperor Chef is really scary."

Wang Daoyi fully understood Pantalone. Since this guy targeted Tongwen Academy, he might have the intention of tampering with Liyue civilization.

Since the emperor is unwilling to look at him, then he will distort the things that the emperor cherishes. He should not be the distorted emperor's chef, but the blackened emperor's chef.

"Therefore, the most important thing is to defeat the actions of the fools without using force or force, and to choose a firm gentleman to become the new dean."

"So, among the four gentlemen, who is the most suitable person?"

Leaning against the pillars of the pavilion, Wang Daoyi thought silently.

The four gentlemen each have their own characteristics. Except for one, Mr. Yan Ming, who has had contact with the Fools, the other three gentlemen seem to be very clean and self-sufficient people, and they all seem to be potential targets.

However, Wang Daoyi was still a little curious about Mr. Yan Ming.

It was he who collected the money, let those Zhidong students in, and helped the Fools complete their plan.

It was the three million molas in his hand that disappeared, but the old dean did not punish him.

This series of information seemed to tell Wang Daoyi that Mr. Yan Ming was very extraordinary and had a very important secret in him.

"Before the old dean left, he didn't tell me anything about the college. In other words, in the old dean's opinion, the college can still operate normally without him. So, who will be responsible for the operation of the school?"

"Mr. Shi Jing, who is loved by students, or Mr. Jian Zhen, who is responsible for the internal affairs of the college."

"Is it Mr. Feng Yuan who controls the external channels of the college, or is it the mysterious Mr. Yan Ming?"

"Oh, no matter who they are, among these four people, there must be someone left by the old dean. This person is the person who the old dean thinks can stabilize the operation of the college. It may even be two, three, or all of them. .”

For the old dean, Wang Daoyi trusted his wisdom very much. A person who has lived for a thousand years, even a stupid person, should have seen through many things.

Not to mention that the old dean cannot be a stupid person.

Since the other party did not tell Wang Daoyi anything about the academy, it meant that all preparations had been made before the other party passed away.

Shi Jing, Jian Zhen, Feng Yuan, Yan Ming.

Among the four most outstanding gentlemen in the college, there must be someone left behind by the old dean who can be trusted.

Wang Daoyi suddenly had an idea, an inexplicable meaning appeared in his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Perhaps the old dean sees things further than others."

He suddenly remembered that the old dean was the favorer of time.

If the old dean predicted what would happen after his death,

Then it seems that the doubts about Mr. Yan Ming can be explained.

With a hint of smile, Wang Daoyi disappeared into the pavilion.

Feiyunpo·Pangshengtang.

Several gentlemen helped each other out of the Hall of Purity.

Behind them are walnuts.

"Everyone, the wake is over. The rest of the matter will be left to us at the Death Hall. You just need to wait for the last funeral and come to see the old dean for the last time."

Hutao said to several gentlemen,

The gentlemen all raised their hands towards Hu Tao: "Then please leave it to Hall Master Hu."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Hu Tao returned the gesture.

After watching the gentlemen leave, Hutao shook his head slightly and then returned to the Hall of Purity.

Under the night,

The gentlemen said goodbye to each other: "Dear classmates, it's getting late. Let's go home and have a rest. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it back to the college tomorrow."

"Then let's talk tomorrow."

The gentlemen dispersed and went home.

However, Shi Jing, Jian Zhen, Feng Yuan, and Yan Ming, the four famous gentlemen on the list, did not go home separately. Instead, they got together again and walked to the academy.

"Three of you, the old dean has left, but the academy cannot be left without an owner. We still have to choose someone to deal with the prying eyes of Qixing and those outsiders."

"Brother Shi Jing said that before the old dean left, he entrusted the academy to us, so we cannot let the old dean down."

"Well, you have seen the wakes in the past two days. The old dean has just left, and those few people have their own thoughts. I'm worried... That's all, Yan Ming, how are you doing over there?"

"After what happened last time, those outsiders haven't contacted me for a long time. However, now that the academy has undergone major changes, they will definitely find me soon."

"It's a shame to cooperate with bandits, brother Yan Ming."

"It's not a grievance. Those people entertained me with delicious food and drinks. It's not like I was abused." Yan Ming shook his head, but his eyes were still a little disappointed. Obviously, Yan Ming, who had received an orthodox education, did not care about the fools. Cooperation is something I hate very much, but now I have to aggrieve myself for the sake of the big plan.

The group of people talked to each other and walked towards the academy on the quiet night road.

After they left, a figure emerged from the shadows on the roadside, it was Wang Daoyi.

"Sure enough, these four gentlemen are all left behind by the old dean. If Qixing and Fools don't interfere, these four people can completely control the college."

"However, the cooperation between Yan Ming and the Fools are actually planned by themselves. It seems that when the Fools are planning the academy, the people in the academy are also planning the Fools."

"In their chat just now, they seemed to be wary of Seven Stars. So, in the game now, there is another camp belonging to the academy."

Seven stars, academy, crowd of fools,

Three-party entanglement is the real situation of this game.

"However, now that I'm involved, the game can no longer be played according to your wishes."

Wang Dao's eyes flashed with light, as if he had found something interesting, and then his figure flashed and disappeared in place.

late at night,

Yan Ming ended the discussion with several classmates and returned to his dormitory alone.

As one of the most important gentlemen in the academy, he has his own dormitory in the academy where he can rest conveniently.

But this time, Yan Ming opened the door and immediately saw a handsome young man sitting at his desk, flipping through his teaching copy.

"Ah, Mr. Yan Ming is back. I hope you don't mind if I take the liberty of visiting."

The young man closed the manuscript in his hand, then stood up, seemingly taking a step, but appeared in front of Yan Ming like a stream of light.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Yan Ming's expression changed and he gave up the option of calling for help.

With the speed shown by the other party, the other party could kill him before he even shouted.

"You are a thief if you don't tell yourself. It would be too rude for you to enter my house and flip through my manuscripts."

Yan Ming stepped back as calmly as possible.

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly: "Sir, don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions, otherwise you would have been lying on the ground long ago."

"The main reason I came here to ask you a question is: what did the old dean say to you, and what are you going to do next?"

Wang Daoyi took a few steps forward and asked Yan Ming. There seemed to be some questioning in his words.

Yan Ming's expression was stern. He was thinking rapidly in his mind. He looked at Wang Daoyi and suddenly said, "Are you from Qixing?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Wang Daoyi looked at him with interest, but his eyes exuded a dangerous light, as if he would hunt him down in the next moment.

Yan Ming's expression did not change, he looked at Wang Daoyi calmly, and then shook his head slightly: "Because those outsiders will not be so rude. They want to bribe the gentlemen of the academy. Before we explicitly refuse, or in other words, we will lose the recruitment. We hope that before those outsiders will be polite to us."

"And the academy has a special status in Liyue. I think only people from Qixing may sneak into my dormitory. Huh, Qixing. The old dean has just left, are you eager to take back the academy?"

There was some reluctance in Yan Ming's voice, but more of it was bitter.

In Liyue’s thousands of years of development,

Although Liyue Qixing is nominally the existence that assists the emperor in ruling Liyue, everyone should listen to Qixing.

But in fact this is not the case.

Look, even the General Affairs Department directly under Seven Stars has developed an organization like the Secret Treasury, let alone other organizations.

There are seven stars and eight gates in Liyue, many chambers of commerce, the Hall of Purity that walks the narrow gap between life and death, academies that teach and educate people and inherit civilization, and many ancient alchemist families.

These people, except for the Seven Stars and Eight Sects, there are not many forces that the Seven Stars can mobilize.

Therefore, in Yan Ming's view, Wang Daoyi was sent by Qixing, probably to threaten or persuade him to obey Qixing.

Yan Ming is unwilling to accept it because the academy has been running independently for thousands of years, but now it is returning to the seven-star rule in their hands, which may lead to politics affecting academic development.

Yan Ming was bitter because if Qixing really used force to subdue the academy, then they would have no choice but to accept it. As for cooperating with the Fools and fighting against Qixing, the gentlemen of the academy had never thought about it.

In their plan, they want to use the fools to educate the students and let them know that sometimes, bad people will pretend to be good people.

As a result, the old dean passed away halfway through the plan.

So the gentlemen revised the plan and wanted to introduce the variable Fool's Crowd, so that the Seven Stars could transfer the pressure on the academy to the Fool's Crowd.

Then the academy can maintain itself as much as possible in the game between the Seven Stars and the Fools.

In this way, Qixing cannot directly interfere with the academy without the intervention of the Fools.

After all, if you forcefully suppress your own people when there are foreign enemies, that would be a loss of character.

Therefore, introduce the Fools, balance the Seven Stars, and then negotiate with the Seven Stars to handle the appointment of the next dean. This is the academy's plan.

Unfortunately, the arrival of Wang Daoyi made it impossible to continue this plan.

Yan Ming looked at Wang Daoyi with a look of death in his eyes. He felt that the academy was about to lose its 'neutral and objective' academic stance.

Wang Daoyi twitched the corners of his mouth, then glanced at Yan Ming speechlessly, stretched out his hand, grabbed the man, and dragged him back to the room.

Although I don't care about being seen, it's better to hide if I can, so that I can have the joy of playing a detective game.

"I'm afraid you think too much. Although you have some cooperation with Ningguang, I am not her person."

"I came here just to find out what's going on in the academy, and also to thwart Pantalone's conspiracy."

Wang Daoyi said to Yan Ming as if he were playing a game and talking to NPCs.

Yan Ming was a little confused. It seemed that things were a little different from what he thought.

He hesitated for a while, looked at Wang Daoyi, and asked, "So, you are not from Qixing?"

"Of course, I said it before. I have cooperated with Ningguang, but I am not hers." Wang Daoyi nodded seriously and answered Yan Ming's question again.

"Then you are not a fool?"

Wang Daoyi curled his lips: "Mr. Yan Ming, although you are not an on-the-job teacher, you are still a teacher. Can you please stop being obedient and overhearing? As I said before, I am here just to deal with fools."

Yan Ming nodded, then regained his expression, with a hint of wariness in his eyes, and looked at Wang Daoyi again: "You are neither a member of the Seven Stars nor a member of the Fools, so who are you?"

In Yan Ming's view, the academy's affairs involve Qixing and Foolish People, and there should be no outsiders involved.

"My name is Wang Daoyi, have you heard of me?"

"The king's way is the king's way." Yan Ming felt a little familiar, and then an idea flashed in his mind, "The king's way is one!! It's you!"

The name Wang Daoyi may not be anything special among ordinary people in Liyue, and may even be very common. When everyone hears it, the most they can say is that the name has some charm.

But among the middle and high-level people in Liyue, this name is too scary.

Whether it’s the battle between Tianheng Mountain and the Fool’s Executives,

Qingcezhuang's battle with the remnants of the devil,

Even later, he killed the whirlpool Yuwei and Basha in Guyun Pavilion.

People in the middle and high levels have heard about these things more or less.

They all also got a name that cannot be offended - Wang Daoyi.

Of course, as one of the four college gentlemen in Tongwen Academy, Yan Ming knew a little more.

For example, the relationship between Wang Daoyi and the old dean.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency Wang Daoyi. I was rude before. If I knew it was you who was coming, I should have swept the bed to welcome you."

As he said that, Yan Ming was suddenly stunned. He remembered that Wang Daoyi didn't come to the door normally, but slipped into his room. I'm afraid he couldn't sweep the couch to greet him.

"It seems that you know a lot about me, so I won't go into details. I want you to cooperate with me on something."

Wang Daoyi looked at Yan Ming and said,

After following the four gentlemen all the way, Wang Daoyi basically confirmed that there was nothing wrong with these four gentlemen. The wake was just to test the other gentlemen.

Yan Ming's contact with the fools was in itself a scheme by Mr. Academy.

This also proves that there is nothing wrong with the people chosen by the old dean, they are loyal and trustworthy.

However, Wang Daoyi's purpose is not to confirm the quality of these gentlemen. His purpose is to teach the fools a lesson.

"You said, I will definitely cooperate." Yan Ming nodded very directly.

Wang Daoyi felt a little uncomfortable. He changed from preferring death to surrender, and became arrogant and respectful. He felt somewhat disconnected.

"Don't you want to ask me what I want you to do first?" Wang Daoyi asked,

Yan Ming shook his head and said, "No, you may not know that before the old dean passed away, he told the four of us, 'In the future, the four of you must support each other in order to preserve the academy. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, go to Go to Wang Daoyi and he will help you once.' This is the old dean's last words, so if the old dean is willing to believe you, I will naturally not doubt it."

Wang Daoyi frowned, not that he didn't believe Yan Ming's words.

If the other party can't lie in front of him, it means that the last words are true.

But Wang Daoyi never promised to help the academy. Where did the old dean have the confidence to say that Wang Daoyi would help once.

After thinking for a while, Wang Daoyi finally shook his head slightly.

According to his temperament, if there was a big disaster in the academy and these people came to him for help, then for the sake of the old dean, he would really help.

After one time, the favor is used up.

From this point of view, the old dean had guessed Wang Daoyi thoroughly.

"Well, in that case, I'm not welcome."

"Since your previous plan was to introduce the Fools, attract the attention of the Seven Stars, and protect the academy in the cracks, now the plan is modified so that you can still contact the Fools. This time, we will set up a big trap for the Fools. "

"I have no objection to this, but Qixing's side." Yan Ming looked at Wang Daoyi, revealing some hesitation in his words.

"Ha, you have been living in the academy for a long time, how long have you not had a face-to-face communication with Qixing?" Wang Daoyi sneered, and then said, "As long as you stand firm and defend Liyue's interests, Qixing will not make things difficult for you."

"To put it bluntly, there are so many forces that are out of Qixing's control, such as the Hall of Rebirth, the Secret Treasury, the Alchemist Family, and even the major chambers of commerce. Do you think Qixing has expressed his intention to fully control them?"

"Although contemporary Tianquan is a woman, her magnanimity is so vast that even the immortals who don't like her have to admit that you have done a lot of good things. In fact, you only need to go to Ning Guang. Tell Ningguang your position and demands, and Ningguang will give you a good answer."

Regarding the operations of the gentlemen of the academy, Wang Daoyi could only say that these people thought too much and misjudged Qixing as a party unfavorable to the academy.

In fact, as soon as Wang Dao got to know Ningguang, he did have a strong desire for power, but Ningguang's desire for power came from her love for Liyue.

She pursues power to develop Liyue, not to establish dictatorship.

Ningguang sent Yelan to investigate the academy because he was just worried that something would happen to the next successor of the academy.

At the same time, I did not receive any friendly messages from the college.

Only then did Ye Lan make the move to investigate the academy.

Therefore, as long as the academy assures Qixing that it is willing to be consistent with Qixing on major issues of right and wrong, it can ensure that the inheritance of culture will not be altered or distorted.

So Qixing won't care at all who the next dean is.
