Chapter 435 Lu Youlin visits
"Senior Dongfang is going to Xuanwu Kingdom. You must be careful. If anything goes wrong, evacuate immediately. Safety is the most important thing."
Dongfang Baichen laughed heartily, "Xiao Weiqing, although my strength is not as good as yours, there is almost nothing on Blue Star that can harm my life. This battle with the Azure Dragon Envoy has allowed me to further my understanding of the divine soul."
"Perhaps I will reach the Ninth Realm before you."
Xiao Weiqing smiled and said, "That would be perfect."
For Xiao Weiqing, the stronger Blue Star was, the better; otherwise, he wouldn't have given Dongfang Baichen a first-class divine body treasure.
"It's settled then. I'll set off now."
After saying that, Dongfang Baichen took to the air and flew away, acting swiftly and decisively.
After Dongfang Baichen left.
Only Xiao Weiqing and Xie Zhiyuan remained in the courtyard.
"Here you are, former headmaster."
Xiao Weiqing stretched out his hand, and three bright red fruits appeared in his hand, resembling grapes.
"A first-class divine treasure?"
"Um."
"I do need it, thank you."
Xie Zhiyuan did not refuse, but he was inwardly moved that the young man he had unintentionally saved two years ago had grown up to this extent.
It has become so powerful that it can influence or even determine the fate of Earth.
"What are your plans next?"
"Cultivate, seize every opportunity to cultivate."
Xie Zhiyuan nodded, "Yes, the problem with the Azure Dragon Temple has been resolved. The next step is to unite against the external forces and deal with the demon race."
"By the way, do you have any suggestions regarding Azure Dragon Island?"
"Suggestion? What suggestion?"
Xiao Weiqing was completely baffled by the question.
"Didn't you see that Luojiang Academy is overcrowded?"
"I see, so this has something to do with Azure Dragon Island?"
"Those people are all here for the spots to enter Qinglong Island. Principal Dong has been so bothered these past two days that he's lost a lot of hair."
Xiao Weiqing smiled knowingly, "We can hand it over to the authorities. If that doesn't work, we can just kick them all out. What can they possibly do?"
Xie Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, "It's not that simple. Students from all over the world come back under the pretext of visiting their alma mater. The academy can't very well turn them away."
"However, once the door is opened, it will become unstoppable, and even more people will enter the academy."
"Besides, those deans and teachers are human too; everyone has friends and family."
"In addition, some prestigious families sent their patriarchs to visit in person, which was impossible to refuse."
"Then I'm afraid I can't help you."
Xiao Weiqing shrugged, acting as if it were none of his business.
He is now only concerned with the divine body and treasures; as for Azure Dragon Island, he has left it entirely to Luojiang Academy and Great Xia to handle. In hindsight, he made the right decision.
"At least give me some advice," Xie Zhiyuan said with a smile. He understood Xiao Weiqing's thoughts; he just wanted to be a hands-off manager.
Xiao Weiqing said nonchalantly, "Same as before, just sell the spots."
"No, if that's the case, the spots for entering Azure Dragon Island will be monopolized by the powerful families, creating a vicious cycle."
"Moreover, Qinglong Island now nominally belongs to the Great Xia, so fairness and impartiality must be ensured."
"Principal Xie, you're right."
A loud voice came from outside the courtyard.
Two people appeared at the gate of the courtyard; they were Lu Youlin and Lin Tian.
"Principal Xie, Xiao Weiqing, shall we not disturb you?"
Lu Youlin said with a smile.
"Since you're already here, how can I say I'm bothering you?" Xiao Weiqing joked.
Lu Youlin was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Then I was being presumptuous."
Xiao Weiqing laughed and said, "Just kidding."
"Who is this?"
Xiao Weiqing looked at Lin Tian. This person was not weak, with the strength of the late stage of the eighth realm.
"This is Lin Tian, the deputy prefect of Luojiang Prefecture."
Lu Youlin explained.
Lin Tian smiled and nodded, "I've heard so much about you, Xiao Weiqing, that I mustered the courage to pay you a visit."
"Please, Lord Lin, don't be so kind. Please have a seat."
You can't hit someone who's smiling, especially when Lin Tian is being so humble.
"No, I just came to get acquainted. I have other things to do, so I won't bother you any longer," Lin Tian declined.
"Minister Lu, Principal Xie, I'll take my leave now."
Done.
Lin Tian nodded slightly to Xiao Weiqing and then took off.
This made Xiao Weiqing think Lin Tian was very interesting. He had heard that Lin Tian had a good reputation and was a man of action.
"Minister Lu, what brings you here?"
Lu Youlin said, "Yes, two things."
"Please speak."
"The first thing is, whenever you have time, go to Kyoto Prefecture, and I'll take you to see the Great Xia Treasure Pavilion."
Upon hearing the name of the Great Xia Treasure Pavilion, Xiao Weiqing's eyes lit up.
Even though he had just conquered the Azure Dragon Temple, he would not underestimate the Great Xia Treasure Pavilion. The Great Xia had experienced a century of spiritual energy revival.
He couldn't even imagine a powerful nation, built up over a century.
"I'll go in a few days, after I take care of some things."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
"And the second thing?" Xiao Weiqing asked.
Lu Youlin smiled and said, "The second matter concerns the use of Qinglong Island. The entire Great Xia Dynasty is buzzing about it now, and I'd like to hear your thoughts."
"Minister Lu, didn't we agree that you could decide this matter yourselves? Why are you asking me?" Xiao Weiqing said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
He didn't want it to become public knowledge, but somehow someone leaked the information.
Actually, last night, his bracelet received countless friend requests, and he knew that he wouldn't have any peace and quiet from now on. Later, annoyed, he decided to block them with one click and also turned off the friend requests.
"Xiao Weiqing, you're oversimplifying things. If you don't care, what about the people around you?"
"What about your friends?"
"Putting everything else aside, what about your classmates from the class of 2021-2022?"
"And what about the Wei family?"
"With your current strength, you can't afford not to make these arrangements. If things aren't settled, some people might not be able to sleep at night. So I'm here on behalf of the authorities to inquire," Lu Youlin said with a smile.
Xiao Weiqing might not care, but he has friends and a girlfriend. As far as he knows, he and his girlfriend are the kind of people who will eventually get married, not just playing around.
Lu Youlin wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't make proper arrangements.
Xiao Weiqing may have forgotten because he didn't say anything, but the Great Xia Dynasty cannot forget, nor can it remain silent.
Or perhaps it was just Xiao Weiqing testing him. Although Lu Youlin was certain that Xiao Weiqing wouldn't do that, he dared not gamble, nor could he.
hear the words
Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow. He really hadn't remembered, or rather, he hadn't expected the incident to cause such a big stir.
The Great Xia Dynasty handled things so quickly, finalizing the matter within a few days.
"Minister Lu, what are your plans?"
Minister Lu said, "The current plan is to retain the Azure Dragon Academy, but in the future it will only recruit the top geniuses of the Great Xia, instead of the Azure Dragon Island as before, where many of them were recruited through connections or were descendants of Azure Dragon Island's faction."
"Isn't Azure Dragon Academy above the eight great academies?"
"Pretty much, but Azure Dragon Academy still doesn't count towards the academy ranking."
"Is there any difference?"
Lu Youlin shook his head and said, "Yes, and it's very big."
"From now on, Qinglong Academy will only consider talent when admitting students, not their background, and will adopt one-on-one teaching, with teachers having a minimum strength of the seventh realm."
Xiao Weiqing was still somewhat surprised; at least the seventh realm, what a grand display.
