Hearing Pang Haichen's words, Pei Jing couldn't help but be shocked.

Even though he has been in a high position for many years and has long been used to the fact that the mountain collapses without changing his expression, when he heard the shocking news, Pei Jing's expression was still a little uncontrollable for a moment.

Especially, this news was told by Mr. Pang, the leader of the "Academic School", so he was even more shocked.

So he couldn't help but turned to look at Pang Haichen, "Old Pang. How is this possible?"

No wonder Pei Jing asked such a question.

The "Academic School" has the trump card of the "Eighth Sanctuary Officers Academy". As the Eighth Sanctuary's school that specializes in training middle and low-level officials, the "Academic School" has supplied too many talents to the Sanctuary in recent years.

Half of them were sent by other factions for further studies, but nearly half of them joined the "academic faction" after graduation and then worked in various areas to be planned.

This allowed the "academic sect"'s power to expand rapidly throughout the Eighth Sanctuary.

It has long since become the second largest faction after the "Iron-Blooded Faction".

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many middle and high-level people in the "Fengtian Department", it is estimated that even Mr. Tang's second position would have to be given to Pang Haichen.

And such a large size is itself a kind of guarantee.

After all, in peaceful times, we still pay attention to the law and not to blame the public.

In such troubled times, if you really dare to attack a big faction, you may rebel in a matter of minutes.

This is the reason why Pei Jing hesitated about what Pang Haichen said.

Pang Haichen was not surprised by Pei Jing's suspicion. He looked ahead with neither joy nor sorrow.

In order to keep this conversation confidential, he even replaced the driver with his personal secretary.

Therefore, he can also talk about more sensitive topics without outsiders present.

He said with a serious face, "How is it impossible?"

He seemed to have read through what Pei Jing was thinking, so he asked back, "Do you think our 'academic sect' is now so big and deep-rooted that the Sanctuary can't do anything to us?"

Hearing Pang Haichen's blunt words, Pei Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally responded, "Yeah."

Hearing this, Pang Haichen indeed shook his head slightly.

He said with a disappointed look, "If you think so, you are wrong."

"It is precisely because our "Academic Faction" is now so popular that it has become a thorn in the side and a stumbling block for other factions."

Hearing Pang Haichen's words, Pei Jing frowned deeply and did not speak easily, but continued to listen to Pang Haichen.

Pang Haichen was leaning on the back seat of the vehicle, closing his eyes, tapping his knees gently with his fingers, and then said slowly, "The 'Officer Academy' is the cradle for training low-level officials in the entire shelter, and its influence is too great."

"Keeping the academy in hand is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the shelter."

"Don't think I'm being alarmist. You only see the present, but not the future."

"The 'Officer Academy' has only been established for ten years, and the strength of the 'academic school' has already expanded to this extent."

"In 10 years' time, most of the people in the middle and lower classes will come from our college. The military department, the Bureau of Investigation, and the city hall will all be our people."

"And the middle and high-level people in other factions are old. Who can check and balance our "academic faction"?"

"Didn't the shelter suddenly become our "academic" world?"

"Do you think the "Fengtian Faction" would be willing to see this situation? Or would the "Iron-Blooded Faction" be willing to see this situation?"

Having said this, Pang Haichen paused and concluded, "This is the reason why the shelter is eager to attack us."

After hearing Pang Haichen's words, Pei Jing was silent for a while.

His Chinese character face was full of depth and seriousness, as if he was really thinking about the "future scenario" that Pang Haichen said.

After thinking quietly for a while, he slowly said, "School and education are inherently more scientific and faster ways to discover and cultivate talents."

"They are targeting us."

Hearing Pei Jing's words, Pang Haichen gave a deep "hmm" and then started to talk about what happened recently.

"A lot of things have happened in the shelter recently. At first, the incidents were all isolated, and I didn't think much about them."

"But gradually, I found that something was wrong."

"I was transferred out of the center, and you were given back your military power. Huang Shangzong was dismissed."

"Both Lao Tian and Lao Cao were arrested for some trivial matters."

"There are also many middle- and high-level people in our "academic school" who have been transferred due to various reasons."

The movements of Pang Haichen's hands paused slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of anger and resentment.

He said, "I really believed that all of this was a coincidence."

"But, the more I thought about it last night, the more I felt something was wrong."

"One thing or two things can be said to be coincidences. Three, four, or even five things can't be said to be coincidences, right?"

Pang Haichen's eyes were filled with fire, "So, after thinking about it, I think they are just boiling frogs in warm water!"

"They are dismembering our "academic faction" bit by bit!"

"They think that if they act gently, give us some sweet dates to eat, and hang us, we will always have an ostrich mentality or deceive ourselves and others!"

Speaking of this, Pang Haichen slapped his leg hard and shouted angrily, "Why!?"

"When a common man is angry, he will be splashed with blood five steps forward!"

"We've been an "academic" for so many years, can't we still turn him upside down?!"

Pei Jing was originally Pang Haichen's direct descendant, otherwise Pang Haichen would not have promoted him and recommended him again and again!

Therefore, after hearing Pang Haichen's decisive words, Pei Jing, who was still a little hesitant in his heart and felt that something was wrong, finally stopped thinking and hesitating!

He turned his head, then saluted with a firm gaze, and said, "Teacher! If you need me to do anything, just ask!"

Pei Jing came from an academic school and was the most outstanding among the first batch of students trained by Pang Haichen.

Therefore, by calling Pang Haichen "teacher", Pei Jing clearly made his attitude clear.

Sure enough, when he heard Pei Jing's name, Pang Haichen showed a satisfied look on his face.

He looked at Pei Jing, reached out and patted Pei Jing's shoulder heavily, and then said, "Pei Jing. I really have something I hope you can help me with."

When Pei Jing heard this, he quickly said, "Teacher, please tell me."

Pang Haichen looked at him, his eyes full of darkness. He lowered his voice and said, "I hope you can return to Beiyun Prefecture."

Pei Jing was shocked, but then calmed down.

He asked, "What do you mean?"

The darkness in Pang Haichen's pupils was as strong as ink

He showed a ruthless face, raised his hand as a knife, and made a downward cutting motion, "Since the shelter wants to attack us!"

"Then let's just remonstrate directly!"

"As long as we have military power and the talents we have cultivated over the years, the shelter and the other side will not dare to act rashly!"

"At that time, we can negotiate with the shelter. Whether we regain our own position, or the negotiation breaks down, we can go out independently and establish the 9th shelter, it will be no problem!"

"If you advance, you can attack, if you retreat, you can defend! We will be in an invincible position immediately!"

After hearing Pang Haichen's words, Pei Jing finally showed a troubled expression on his face.

What Pang Haichen said sounded nice.

Isn’t military remonstrance actually a rebellion?

However, everyone knows that rebellion is the most dangerous thing in the world and has the lowest success rate.

It’s fine if it works, but if it doesn’t work, many people will die.

So, who would rebel if they were not forced to do so?

However, Pang Haichen obviously knew the character of his student very well, so when it came to such a critical moment, he did not rush him and just waited quietly.

If Pang Haichen ordered or persuaded, Pei Jing might even refute and argue a few words.

Now that Pang Haichen had finished speaking, he stopped talking, which suddenly made Pei Jing's thoughts even more complicated. On the one hand, there were shelters and life and death matters, and on the other hand, there was his mentor who had supported him for many years.

Finally, after hesitating for two full minutes, Pei Jing gritted his teeth, his expression on his face became firm, and he said, "Okay, teacher! I listen to you!"

Seeing Pei Jing agreeing, Pang Haichen had a smile on his face.

He patted his favorite disciple's shoulder heavily, and then said with a pleased expression, "I really saw you right."

After saying that, he said, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything for you."

"As the Speaker of the New State, you certainly cannot leave New South Wales casually."

"But it doesn't matter, I will use the "Exchange Ring" to send you to Beiyunzhou."

"Interchangeable rings" are a very magical prop. Generally speaking, each pair of "interchangeable rings" has two rings.

These two rings are each worn on a person. No matter how far apart they are, as long as they do not span the world or space, they can instantly exchange places with each other.

The price required for summoning can be provided by both parties. The farther the distance, the stronger the strength, and the higher the price required.
