Dean Ji nodded: "It's strange to say that Nanlu Island is supposed to be the island closest to the Eye of the Volcano. Why did the earthquake hit Beiliu Island and Xilu Island more severely?"
The couple looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
Ye Rui was full of curiosity and hurriedly asked: "You guys have weird smiles. It's obvious that you know something inside. Stop hiding it and tell it quickly."
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and said: "I do know some inside information. I can tell Dean Ji, but I can't tell you!"
"Why? Why? We have been together through life and death, and you don't even want to give me this little trust? It's so sad, you two are so bad!" Ye Rui turned around and left Jing'an Yuan angrily.
Seeing Dean Ji's worried look, Jiang Wuyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, that guy likes to exaggerate. He won't get angry so easily. You guys chat while I go out for a walk."
Ye Rui knew the look and knew that Xia Yuanqiu and Zhu Yan had something to talk to Dean Ji, so he left. Jiang Wuyou also knew the look. Needless to say, it would be more honorable to leave by himself.
Only Xia Yuanqiu, Zhu Yan and Dean Ji were left in the hall. Xia Yuanqiu said, "Dean, do you still remember Wen Rentuo?"
Dean Ji hurriedly said: "Of course I remember that the Dean of Nanhai Academy two hundred and seventy years ago, Dean Wenren who disappeared due to a decisive battle with Shenjun, was recognized as the number one master on Yunyong Continent at that time. It’s a pity that after the Four Regions volcano erupted, he and Shenjun were missing, and their lives and deaths are unknown. Why did you suddenly mention Dean Wenren?”
Xia Yuanqiu said: "He is not dead, he is still alive and well. I just saw him a while ago."
Dean Ji stood up from the chair in shock and stared, "What did you say? Dean Wenren is not dead? Is he still alive? Where is he now?"
Zhu Yan said: "Dean, please don't be impatient, just listen to us slowly."
"That's it. When we were in the East China Sea, because we needed a kind of elixir that grows in the crater of a volcano, we went to Chiyan Island in the East China Sea, which is what you call Donglu Island. Unexpectedly, we were on Donglu Island I actually met Dean Wenren."
"It turns out that he has been on Donglu Island for the past two hundred and seventy years and has never left. Donglu Island is very hot and there is a danger of fire breaking out at any time, so no one has ever taken the risk. No one knows his whereabouts.”
Dean Ji asked in a trembling voice: "Then, why does he stay on Donglu Island? Why doesn't he return to the South China Sea?"
Xia Yuanqiu continued: "Because the Eye of the Volcano, which connects the four volcanoes to whether there will be a major eruption, is on Donglu Island. In order to protect the Eye of the Volcano and the entire Yunyong Continent, he did not dare to leave even half a step. Life is painful, but you cannot abandon your mission and die, living alone and painfully for two hundred and seventy years."
"I have to say that he is the hero of your Nanhai Academy. I admire him very much. This is not something ordinary people can do, and I can't do it myself."
Zhu Yan added: "So, you said that the South China Sea is obviously the volcanic island closest to the Eye of the Volcano, but why is the earthquake the smallest? That's because you have a great ancestor."
Dean Ji still looked shocked and could not recover. All this happened so suddenly and was strange that he had never imagined.
How does it feel to suddenly be told that your ancestors who were thought to have been dead for more than two hundred years are still alive
Xia Yuanqiu stood up and said goodbye: "Zhu Yan and I are going to Nanlu Island now to freeze the volcano as soon as possible to avoid another big explosion, which will waste a lot of black ice. It is a pity."
