Chapter 1544: The Dilemma of Tongye

Indeed, in the common understanding of the inner earth world, even if the inner earth tribe is at a disadvantage in conquering the surface world, they still have a bottom line.

This bottom line is the safety of the inner world.

In the eyes of the Inner Earth Tribe, the Inner Earth World is a solid fortress. Even if the humans on the surface can keep the Inner Earth Tribe out of the surface world, they will never be able to invade the Inner Earth World.

Not only is the passage to the inner world easy to defend but difficult to attack, the most crucial thing is that the population of the inner world people is so large that it is simply incomparable to that of humans on the surface.

In this case, if the surface world wants to swallow up the inner world, it would undoubtedly be like a snake swallowing an elephant, and it would be impossible to achieve.

In terms of bilateral relations, only if the Earth Core Race annexed the surface world, it would be a matter of whether it would succeed or not. But the surface world would never annex the Earth Core World.

This is the basic understanding that every Earth Core Clan has engraved into their bones. They will never doubt it.

Therefore, with this recognized retreat route, the Earth Core Clan did not cause great panic even though they were at a disadvantage on the surface battlefield.

Although this war was becoming increasingly unpopular and losing its broad base in the inner world, they did not think that the defeat of the war on the surface would affect the safety of the inner world.

Even the Five Elements Academy holds this view.

However, whether this fixed thinking is correct remains to be tested.

When Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing heard this great news, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised that it came too suddenly and a little unbelievable.

Taiyi Academy is now the undisputed leader of the Earth's Core World. The Titan Academy, which was once the strongest in the Earth's Core World, has been marginalized for various reasons. Although it still has some strength, its voice is far from being restored. Among the three major academies, it is already at the bottom.

The internal strife in Taiyi Academy means that the power that holds the highest say in the Earth Core Clan is collapsing.

Once Taiyi Academy becomes the laughing stock of the Earth Core Clan, can the Five Elements Academy, which comes in as a substitute, replace Taiyi Academy?
Obviously impossible!
Even if the Five Elements Academy has the strength, it does not have the popularity base, let alone the reputation.

This kind of right to speak cannot be replaced by strength alone. It must be accumulated over time. The reputation of Taiyi Academy was earned through hard work.

When the Baoshu Clan was in its heyday, the entire inner world had not yet set its sights on the surface world, but the Baoshu Clan had already made plans in advance, taken the lead, and dared to be the first.

Just with this dedication and courage, even though they failed in the end, the Baoshu clan did win the secret respect of many people, and the reputation of Taiyi Academy was established as a result.

But now, the three golden clans of Taiyi Academy are in internal strife, and the reputation of Taiyi Academy is likely to be destroyed and unsustainable.

At this time, the inner world is the most empty, lacking direction, and lacking leadership.

Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing made a quick decision and took the opportunity to follow the transport team to leave the surface world and return to the inner world.

The overall situation of the Eagle Country is now very clear. Whether it is the spiritual veins or the teleportation arrays, they are all laid out in the open. If the Eagle Country still cannot handle it, it is their own fault.

It is impossible for Jiang Yue to serve Eagle Country like a nanny all the time.

It’s not the Great Zhang Kingdom, so Jiang Yue has no reason to keep paying attention to them.

After returning to the center of the earth, Jiang Yue quickly resumed his identity as a hydraulic engineer. However, he did not rush to show off, but secretly found the Tongye University Scholar who had been hiding.

The Grand Secretary of Tongye had already had a stress reaction to Jiang Yue, as if he was bound to encounter Jiang Yue sometime in his life.

Therefore, even if he had a stress reaction, he would not lose his composure, but acquiesced to it. Facing this unfathomable nemesis, Tongye University Scholar also lost the will to resist.

In his mind, this person's terror far surpassed that of Jiuxiu, the chief academician of Taiyi Academy, and also surpassed that of Jiang Ling, the chief academician of Titan Academy.

This person is the omnipresent ghost and the god who cannot be disobeyed.

Jiang Yue was not aggressive. He also realized that Tong Ye was relatively cooperative. Although this guy was as steady as an old dog and had not made any big moves, he did not pretend to obey.

It can be seen that Tongye is quite pessimistic about the inner world of the earth, and is full of disappointment with Jiuxiu University Scholar, the helmsman of Taiyi Academy.

The chief academician of Taiyi Academy is just this cunning? He hasn't done anything yet, but he's already started an internal conflict. If you want to start an internal conflict, it would be fine if you can succeed. Not only did you fail, but you made it half-cooked, neither good nor bad, making everyone feel uncomfortable.

"Tongye, Taiyi Academy is in a mess right now, but you are having a good time. It seems like you have a philosophy of survival."

Tongye smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, please don't laugh at me. I may seem like a Grand Secretary with a purple gold ribbon, but in fact my status is not higher than that of a Grand Secretary with a gold ribbon, or even lower than theirs. I am just a signboard. The reason why Taiyi Academy didn't destroy this signboard is that they don't want to give people the impression that they are destroying their bridges after crossing the river. It's not that I am really needed by them."

"Haha, that's not what I care about." Jiang Yue smiled faintly and ignored Tongye's complaints.

"I know, my Lord, you must want to know what the current situation is in the inner world."

"Yes, you should know this, right?"

"It's very subtle. Now all parties are shouting about unity, but their own little tricks are getting more and more crazy. The Five Elements Academy is watching from the sidelines, wishing that Taiyi Academy would fight. And the Titan Academy is not content with being ordinary, and wants to revive. As far as I know, the Titan Academy has planted countless spies around the Taiyi Academy. The Taiyi Academy has even received news that the Titan Academy is likely to cause trouble."

"To cause trouble?" Jiang Yue's eyes lit up. "How are they going to do it?"

"There is no definite news at the moment, but it is nothing more than sowing discord, or bribing, or framing. It is definitely not an aboveboard move."

"Then aren't you in danger too?" Jiang Yue said with a half-smile.

He, the Grand Secretary Tongye, was a betrayer from the Titan Academy. He must be one of the people that the Titan Academy hates the most.

The Tongye Grand Secretary smiled bitterly and said, "I am worried every day. Someone reminded me that the Titan Academy has set up an assassination team to specifically target me."

"Is this really true?" Jiang Yue became interested. "Is this true?"

Seeing Jiang Yue's excited face, Tongye University Scholar couldn't help but said depressedly: "Sir, you are just watching the fun without fear of trouble. If I am targeted by the Titan Academy, who will be your accomplice in the future?"

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "I didn't say I was going to sit back and watch."

The Tongye Grand Secretary was immediately delighted: "What does your Excellency mean?"

Jiang Yue's face turned serious, and he said seriously: "I protect you. If anyone dares to touch you, it means they are against me! Do you need my consent to touch you?"

"So, sir, you can definitely keep me safe?"

It's no wonder that Tongye University Scholar was so excited. In fact, he was really a little scared these days. He stayed at home every day, not daring to show his face in public, and stayed in Taiyi Academy almost all the time.

In his opinion, Taiyi Academy was the safest place. No matter how brutal the killer group of Titan Academy was, they would not dare to break into Taiyi Academy to commit crimes.

Tongye University Scholar also tried to report this to Jiuxiu University Scholar, but Jiuxiu University Scholar reacted calmly, telling him not to be suspicious, that the Titan Academy was not a concern, and that they were not bold enough to cross the border and cause trouble. If they really wanted to target Tongye, they would have done it years ago, why wait until now?

All in all, the essence of Jiuxiu Grand Secretary can be summed up in six words: don’t believe in rumors and don’t spread them.

This attitude was obviously equivalent to telling Tongye University Scholar that he didn't want to get involved in this trivial matter. It sounded very high-sounding, but it was nothing more than that he didn't want to get involved.

Perhaps, even the Grand Secretary Jiuxiu wished that someone would come and help him get rid of Tongye.

After all, Tongye nominally joined Taiyi Academy and was once the most popular person in Taiyi Academy. No matter how embarrassed Taiyi Academy was in the end due to the special medicine, Taiyi Academy itself could not take action against Tongye.

But if someone else did it, perhaps Jiuxiu Grand Secretary would not necessarily refuse to give his approval secretly.

After all, the existence of the copper coconut tree was actually the biggest irony to Taiyi Academy. It was a thorn in the side of Taiyi Academy, and they just couldn't remove it.

They cannot remove this sign yet, but the existence of this sign is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Jiuxiu Grand Secretary.

This is the masterpiece of your chief minister, the Bronze Coconut Scholar whom you accepted and promoted to the position of Purple Gold Ribbon Scholar.

And all this is because of the special medicine.

But it was precisely because of the special medicine that the entire Earth Core Clan fell into disaster. The biggest disadvantage of the current Earth Core World is actually the genetic assimilation brought about by the special medicine.

All in all, Grand Secretary Jiuxiu both exploited and hated Tongye.

He couldn't kill Tongye, but he was definitely happy to see Tongye get into trouble. Especially if it was an assassination from the Titan Academy, he didn't mind at all.

Anyway, Titan Academy will have to bear the blame in the end. If this really happens, he can take this opportunity to condemn Titan Academy and divert attention from the current infighting.

Under such circumstances, why would Jiuxiu Grand Secretary not be happy?

He even wanted to help the assassination team of Titan Academy lead the way and provide them with cover. Unfortunately, all this has not happened yet.

Seeing Tong Ye's bullied look, Jiang Yue knew that he had a hard time in Taiyi Academy, so he asked with a smile, "You are a purple-gold-ribboned scholar of Taiyi Academy, but you actually expect me, an enemy, to protect you. It seems that you are not doing well in Taiyi Academy."

The Tongye Grand Scholar sighed, "What can I do? The Titan Academy considers me a traitor, and the Taiyi Academy thinks I am redundant. It's a typical example of a person who is not loved by his grandma and uncle."

"So your choice is wise. If you rely on me, you can live a safe and secure life. You see, when you need it most, I am the only one who can help you solve your problems, right?"

Tongye smiled bitterly, it was true to say so.

But my bad luck is also caused by you humans on the surface. If Professor Xu hadn't been so calculating about the special medicine, I wouldn't have fallen to this point.

Of course, this is not the only reason.

He also knew that the real tragedy began when Titan Academy was ready to sacrifice him. This was not Professor Xu's fault, nor was it the fault of this mysterious boss.

Forget it, there's no point in pursuing these.

Over the years, the mentality of Tongye University Scholar has long been calm, and he knows how to adapt to the circumstances. Relying on the surface humans? Clinging to the thighs of the surface bosses?

So what?
I will rely on whoever keeps me alive. What's wrong with that? In this world, sometimes we have to rely on someone powerful.

"By the way, how is Bachelor Yun Geng doing recently?" Jiang Yue asked with a smile.

"He, his life is neither good nor bad. After he escaped last time, many people blamed us. But we are happy and at ease. It's best if no one trusts us, so we don't have to be sent to do unpleasant things."

Bachelor Yun Geng and Bachelor Tong Ye have one thing in common, that is, they want to live a good life no matter what.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. This is the truth they all believe in, and they implement it to the letter.

In this regard, they can be said to be soulmates.

Of course, it is obviously impossible for the two of them to become as close as old friends just because of this.

On the one hand, the status of the two is very different, and on the other hand, Scholar Yun Geng does not want to get too close to Scholar Tongye. He also knows that Scholar Tongye's status is sensitive and special. He also knows that Scholar Jiuxiu does not like Scholar Tongye, and he also heard that the Titan Academy is targeting Scholar Tongye.

This is simply a disaster star, so Scholar Yun Geng did not dare to get too close to him.

"Where are the two from Mingxinyuan?"

"I can't even protect myself, so how can I be qualified to care about the conflicts between the three golden tribes? We, the outsiders, must have the awareness of outsiders." The Tongye Grand Secretary was very clear about this point.

"Are you planning to hide like this forever?"

"What else can I do? I don't want to do it either."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Then if you go home today, I will be your personal escort. If there really is an assassination team, they will definitely choose to do it in your apartment, right? They can't attack you in the middle of the day in a busy city."

"You...you won't lie to me, will you?" The Grand Secretary of Tongye University had become a frightened bird.

"Don't worry, if there really is an assassination team, I can help you get rid of it. One punch is better than a hundred. You have been hiding all the time, what's the point?"

The Scholar of Tongye looked at Jiang Yue in a daze, and finally seemed to realize that he was not playing a trick on him, so he nodded: "Okay, then I will listen to you."

As for whether Jiang Yue has the ability to deal with those assassins, Tongye University Scholar has no doubt about it.

Are you kidding? This guy even treats Supreme Elder Yin Qiao like a toy in front of him. Even the assassins sent by Titan Academy are not enough to defeat him.

The Grand Secretary of Tongye also has several followers, all of whom he has found over the years. The loyalty of these people is not a big problem, but in terms of personal strength, it is obviously not enough to help the Grand Secretary of Tongye solve his problems.

If Tongye can't handle it himself, it would be even more unrealistic to rely on these followers.

Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing hid in the entourage of Tongye University Scholar and followed him back to his residence.

If an assassin really comes, Jiang Yue doesn't mind helping him deal with it and at the same time stimulate the conflict between Taiyi Academy and Titan Academy.

If not, Jiang Yue will naturally have the next step.
