The Emperor was a cautious person, as shown by the fact that he did not send out more people to investigate. He did the smart thing of choosing the principal of the academy Shen Yanxiao used to go to for this investigation.
Ouyang Huanyu was more than just her old principal. He was also an outstanding magus himself. Over the years, he had a firm grasp over the many elites Saint Laurent Academy had developed. In the Longxuan Empire, he was a highly praised and respected individual. He was a prudent and modest person who had always been revered by others.
To ask such a person to come to the Forsaken Land, the Emperor sure was smart.
Shen Yanxiao could not harm Ouyang Huanyu even if she indeed was harboring some ill intent.
