Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2275 - 2231: Reporting to the Academy

Tu Qi knew it was inconvenient for him to act impulsively, so he nodded in agreement.

After all, going to the Disciplinary Hall wasn’t for glory.

No matter what, they did enter the dungeon.

There were suspicions of private dealings involved.

"Yes, be careful yourself. This matter is complicated, don’t get into trouble." Tu Qi nodded and reminded.

"I know what I’m doing." Chen Yang also nodded and then took the man to the Disciplinary Hall.

Upon arriving at the Disciplinary Hall, Chen Yang explained everything thoroughly.

Of course, he certainly didn’t mention that he knew about this matter long ago.

He only said that he coincidentally heard about it while doing a mission in Weng City.

The situation was serious, and time was pressing; there was no time to report back, so he was forced to enter the dungeon.

After the matter was resolved, he came to the academy to report immediately.

Upon hearing about such a major event, the disciple receiving Chen Yang was extremely surprised.

Hurriedly went to call Elder Bai and some higher-ups of the academy.

They were all shocked upon hearing the story.

Elder Bai was furious.

"Good for Wang Yuan! Daring to conceal the emergence of Fire Sun True Monarch’s dungeon, he’s simply reckless and lawless." Elder Bai raged with anger.

"Immediately notify the Dean, and also inform all elite disciples of the Disciplinary Hall to convene, ready to depart for Chi Yang City at any time."

Elder Bai immediately made arrangements to rush to Chi Yang City as soon as possible.

"Yes..." The disciple nodded and followed Elder Bai’s instructions.

"Chen Yang, since you knew this matter early on, why didn’t you report sooner? What’s your true intention?"

Just after Elder Bai made the arrangements, Zhao Shuo suddenly stepped out from the crowd, loudly reprimanding Chen Yang, directly targeting him.

With such a big incident, almost all the ordinary elders of the academy gathered at the Disciplinary Hall.

As one of the elders, Zhao Shuo naturally appeared here as well.

While others were more concerned about the situation at Chi Yang City,

this Zhao Shuo focused all his attention on Chen Yang.

Upon hearing Zhao Shuo’s words, the surrounding elders also turned their focus onto Chen Yang.

"Indeed, why didn’t you report earlier since the academy is only half a day’s journey from Chi Yang City?"

"This can only suggest that this disciple has ulterior motives, intending to collude, and now reports after the fact is settled."

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and those involved must be held accountable, or there will be no order within the academy grounds."

...

Some elders, who were on good terms with Zhao Shuo, began to voice their agreement.

The voices all targeted Chen Yang.

Elder Bai, hearing these remarks, his already grim face turned even worse.

Such incidents weren’t unheard of before.

Disciples involved would face penalties.

Zhao Shuo wasn’t entirely without reason.

"Zhao Shuo, what’s your intention in openly targeting Chen Yang like this?"

But not everyone was against Chen Yang.

Elder Xu, who had assisted Chen Yang in coming to the academy, also arrived here and, upon hearing Zhao Shuo and others, immediately defended Chen Yang.

"What do I mean? Elder Xu, do you think what I’m saying is without reason?" Zhao Shuo replied defiantly to Elder Xu.

"What you say might have a probability, but Chen Yang ultimately returned to deliver the message. Without investigation, to openly speculate like this, what’s your intention? If this gets out, what would the academy disciples think?" Elder Xu stood his ground and argued reasonably.

"You..." Zhao Shuo was rendered speechless by Elder Xu’s argument and couldn’t find words to respond.

"I’m considering the academy’s interests and haven’t thought too much, and I’m only speculating. The specifics must be based on the investigation results." Zhao Shuo’s tone slightly softened as he spoke.

However, his words still contained much suspicion towards Chen Yang.

"If there’s a reason, Chen Yang, you might as well speak out. Someone seems overly eager for answers." Zhao Shuo again looked at Chen Yang, sarcastically targeting Elder Xu.

"Zhao Shuo, you’re simply outrageous, abusing public power for private grudges." Elder Xu was greatly angered, pointing at Zhao Shuo and loudly accusing him.

"Old man Xu..." Zhao Shuo, seeing Elder Xu being so blunt, got enraged in front of all the ordinary elders of the academy.

Just about to engage in a shouting match with Elder Xu.

At this moment, Chen Yang spoke up.

Interrupted Zhao Shuo.

"Alright Elder Zhao, you just want to hear the disciple’s reasons, right? The disciple will tell you, why be so furious." Chen Yang said calmly, looking directly at Zhao Shuo.

"Then tell me, why didn’t you report earlier, but instead after things concluded?" Zhao Shuo stopped his confrontation with Elder Xu and focused all his attention on Chen Yang.

Compared to Elder Xu, he was more eager to find fault with Chen Yang.

Upon hearing Chen Yang say he would explain, he naturally listened carefully.

Not wanting to miss a flaw.

"Because there was simply not enough time. The disciple was following a mission from the Contribution Hall, executing tasks in Weng City. When learned of Chi Yang City’s movement, the disciple wanted to investigate. However, upon entering Chi Yang City’s territory, everything was sealed, and the dungeon was already opened. With no other options, the disciple chose to enter first." Chen Yang explained his situation.

"Did you hear that, Zhao Shuo? It’s not as you speculated." Elder Xu listened to Chen Yang’s explanation and immediately stood up to speak up.

Zhao Shuo listened, his expression turned serious, and he stayed silent.

The other elders also fell silent.

While Elder Bai looked at Chen Yang, his gaze softened slightly.

But unexpectedly, after a few moments of silence, Zhao Shuo, perhaps still unwilling, started picking faults again.

"Even if the dungeon opened, you still had time to return and report. Why didn’t you report? Is your personal fortune more important than the academy’s interests?" Zhao Shuo accused, righteously.

Hearing this, Chen Yang just smiled.

Smiled without speaking.

And the surrounding elders also showed embarrassed expressions aimed at Zhao Shuo.

But none of them spoke out.

If phrased so righteously, then Chen Yang was indeed wrong.

However, everyone was aware.

In the path of cultivation, personal fortune is naturally important. If everyone acted selflessly, nothing would be left.

Not even Chen Yang, not to mention the elders themselves, would be capable of such a thing.

Thus, no one spoke up.

And the same went for Elder Bai.

He glanced at Chen Yang without a word.

Then looking at Zhao Shuo, he said, "Enough, Elder Zhao, Chen Yang reporting this matter is already commendable. Don’t be too harsh. The main responsibility for this matter lies with Wang Yuan."

"Other issues should be addressed once we’ve investigated Chi Yang City."

"Elder Bai..." Zhao Shuo was still unwilling, wanting to further pressure Chen Yang.

And coincidentally, the disciple who went to notify returned: "Master, all disciples have gathered, please command."

"Alright, head to Chi Yang City." Elder Bai directly ignored Zhao Shuo and announced the immediate departure for Chi Yang City.

Zhao Shuo gritted his teeth furiously, his expression extremely unpleasant.
