Chapter 84: A sudden change in the situation

September 1991, 9, Monday. The auditorium was particularly lively at noon today, with all the teachers and students in the school enjoying a lazy lunch time.

Even Snape, who seldom ate in the hall, came. He was whispering something to Professor Quirrell, who was looking timid and helpless. Professor Dumbledore was happily talking to Professor McGonagall, laughing from time to time.

At this moment, a series of rapid and loud chirping sounds came from the sky, which surprised everyone present.

Professor Dumbledore then looked at the Phoenix Fawkes, who immediately pushed off the ground with his feet, spread his wings and flew high into the sky.

But after circling in the sky twice, Fox let out a series of rapid calls in one direction.

Dumbledore's face suddenly changed, and he disappeared from his seat in a flash.

The other professors were also shocked. Hogwarts has an anti-Apparition spell. Although Dumbledore, as the headmaster, has his own authority, he would not use Apparition within the campus unless it was an emergency.

So the professors drew their wands and rushed in the direction of Fawkes's cry.

The little wizards were also stunned. They didn't know what was going on and followed behind curiously.

Outside the Hogwarts Castle, the situation was changing dramatically. More than twenty huge flying animals blocked out the sky and formed a neat formation, heading towards the Hogwarts Castle at lightning speed.

Dumbledore had already drawn his wand and was looking into the distance with a heavy face. Professors also arrived one after another and stood beside Dumbledore with solemn expressions.

The young wizards were still running desperately, but they saw a shocking scene. The first thing that came to their rescue was a blue phoenix proudly landing, followed by seven cranes, and then, there were actually twenty huge eagles landing in an orderly manner.

Seeing such a shocking scene, the little wizards ran faster, as they all wanted to see what was going on.

Only Yang Tian on the Somersault Cloud showed a nervous expression. As soon as he saw the crane appear, he had a bad feeling. He had repeatedly warned his grandfather in the letter that he must not let his grandfather know about his assassination, but seeing this...

Alas, Yang Tian couldn't help but sigh deeply.

However, an old man with white hair and a youthful face had floated down from the Qingluan. He was wearing a bright red robe and carried a peach wood sword on his back. He walked forward leisurely as if he was strolling in a garden, a typical image of a Chinese hermit.

The man and woman following closely behind him were Yang Tianshu, and they were none other than Caiyu and Liangyu, who had been protecting him at the Fuli family.

Behind the two men, there were five middle-aged men in green robes, each carrying a white jade slab on their back, and no one knew what it was used for.

At the end of the team were twenty young men in black short clothes, standing neatly in an orderly manner, each holding a shining sword behind them.

The group's movements were in unison, and there was a chilling aura of killing. The teachers and students of Hogwarts suddenly felt the pressure coming.

The leading elder stood up and said solemnly, "Xia, on behalf of the head of the Yang family of China, is visiting Mr. Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, to discuss important matters."

Although the old man's English accent was not correct, fortunately his word choice was very accurate, and everyone present naturally understood what he meant. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was not here to cause trouble.

Dumbledore did not relax his guard at all when he heard this, and asked cautiously, "What do you want to discuss with me?"

The old man bowed slightly and said, "My young master Yang Tian was attacked without reason while studying at your school and nearly died. The young master is the hope of the family and the treasure of the head of the family. Upon hearing about this, the head of the family was furious and sent us here to investigate the cause and effect of the attack on his grandson and to protect his safety. This matter will of course fall on you."

Hearing this, Dumbledore was stunned for a long time. This elite team was actually here for Yang Tian's assassination. This child must be very favored at home, to have so many experts at once. The strength of the Yang family must be unfathomable. They have already sent out such a large number of people, how many elites are left in the family?

At this point, Dumbledore couldn't say much and could only nod and welcome everyone in.

However, Mr. Xia was obviously not someone who did not know when to advance or retreat. He left the young men in black waiting outside the school and only brought seven people into Hogwarts.

This made Dumbledore feel more favorable, and the atmosphere on the scene eased a lot.

Yang Tian, ​​who was in the crowd, could no longer pretend not to see it. He had heard the old man call himself Xia before, so he guessed that he might be the Old Xia mentioned in his grandfather's letter, the person who helped Nightmare in the research institute.

So he quickly stepped forward to greet the young wizards, despite their inquiring gazes, and said, "Grandpa Xia."

When Elder Xia heard the voice, he was delighted and quickly turned around and bowed slightly, saying, "Young Master."

But the remaining six people did not dare to be arrogant. They turned to Yang Tian in unison and swung their right hands gracefully. The complicated and graceful gestures were displayed one by one, and finally merged into the mark of a white jade book. At this time, their hands were already gently touching their chests, and they said in unison: "Greetings, young master."

Yang Tian suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and quickly replied: "Don't say anything nonsense, just call me by my name."

What a joke, what generation do you have? Your father is still alive and well, young and strong, what's the point of calling him young master?

Old Xia didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said mischievously, "This was decided by that old guy. Are you unhappy? Go and reason with him. I promise to bring a pound of beef and a pot of wine to watch the fun."

The corners of Yang Tian's mouth twitched fiercely. Why did he feel that Mr. Xia was so unreasonable?

But now the most urgent thing is to solve the current problem. I don't know what grandpa's plan is. If Dumbledore and the people sent by grandpa really make trouble, it will be difficult for me to live in Hogwarts. Here, I still have a lot of things to do.

Thinking of this, Yang Tian hurriedly followed Elder Xia and asked as he walked, "Grandpa, what is your plan this time? Why is it so sudden?"

Hearing this, Old Xia was dissatisfied and said angrily: "Humph, you still have the nerve to say that. You didn't even bother to report home when such a big incident happened outside. If you really get into an accident, it will be too late to say anything then. This time, the old guy was really angry and almost tore down the house."

Yang Tian explained helplessly: "Relatively speaking, Hogwarts is still safe. This time, I was too careless. I fell into their trap. The school has promised to conduct a thorough investigation. I was afraid that grandpa would worry, so I repeatedly warned you not to spread the news. In the end... hey..."

Having said that, Yang Tian looked at Caiyu and Liangyu with resentment.

Caiyu saw Yang Tian's veiled expression but didn't care at all. Instead, she laughed and teased: "Oh, why are you so resentful? I can't disobey the order of the head of the family just because you disagree, right? That's a serious crime. You don't want to see your Aunt Caiyu being severely punished, right?"

Caiyu had known Yang Tian for such a long time, how could she not know what kind of person he was? Yang Tian lost his temper immediately after hearing these words.

But Caiyu obviously didn't intend to let it go. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "Besides, when Liangyu and I were here, everything was fine. What kind of place is Hogwarts? A den of dragons and tigers? How come such a terrible incident happened only a week after I came here? A dozen people assassinated together? Targeting you? How big a disaster did you get into? Was it targeting the Free family or my Yang family?"

By the end of the conversation, the murderous intent of the Yang family members had already surged out and they could no longer hold it back.

Since Caiyu deliberately didn't lower her voice in the second half of her speech, the professors around her could hear it clearly. Everyone was annoyed: What does this mean? What else can Hogwarts be? It can't be a den of thieves, right? Who is she talking to in such a weird way?

But then he thought about it again, he was helpless. This matter would not be resolved peacefully in any family, especially the Yang family of China. Judging from the situation, it should be a super family. And Yang Tian is the direct descendant of the Yang family. This matter is not easy to handle...
