As for Sima Duyi, being a student seed and also the direct disciple of a certain vice dean, he was sent by the vice dean to handle this matter on his behalf.
This was because the vice dean was currently acting as the dean, overseeing all matters of the academy. And after Zhao Rong's assassination attempt, the typically uninvolved dean gave personal orders for the vice dean to take the matter seriously and resolve it.
The dean had only one intention: to thoroughly investigate, strongly supporting Zhao Rong in finding the culprit and bringing them to justice.
Hence, the vice dean sent his direct disciple to first investigate the matter.
Besides the three of them, Zhu Yourong's presence was rather special.
Logically, it was not Zhu Yourong's responsibility to worry about Zhao Rong's mishap down the mountain; there were plenty of people to handle it.
The only connection she had with Zhao Rong was as his literature lesson teacher.
