When Yang Dingtian unified the entire West Continent, the Heavenly Edict Academy had already begun. Therefore, more than three years had passed since then.
The Heavenly Edict Academy had risen at an unimaginable speed.
The Council of Light had invested everything in building the Heavenly Edict Academy. The resources it possessed far exceeded that of any other sect in this world.
Moreover, compared to the various large sects, the Heavenly Edict Academy was undoubtedly fairer. There was no sectarian bias. As long as one was talented and capable, even if one's status was low, one could still rise.
Moreover, although martial arts were still mainstream in the Heavenly Edict Academy, it was no longer everything.
There were also crystal dynamics, navigation, spiritual arts, mystical studies, demon studies, political studies, economics, and so on.
In the past, martial arts were everything.
However, this situation had undoubtedly changed.
Currently, the human countries lacked martial arts experts the most. Instead, they lacked middle and low-level officials, generals, and so on.
Therefore, it was very common for people with higher cultivation to be led by people with lower cultivation.
The concept of martial arts being first and supreme had gradually changed.
Moreover, the establishment of the Heavenly Edict Academy had another strategic effect, which was to eliminate sectarian bias.
Once one entered the Heavenly Edict Academy, it would be very difficult to distinguish between Cloud Sky City, Divine Weapons Mountain Villa, and Northwest Qin City.
The Tiandō League and the Council of Light had become symbols of unity.
Those who entered the Heavenly Edict Academy would instinctively feel that they were part of the Tiandō League and not just part of the Northwest Qin City or Cloud Sky City.
Another effect was the impact on one's mind.
Therefore, it was certain that the Heavenly Edict Academy's role in the future would be even more immeasurable. It would completely unite the entire Chaotic World.
The Heavenly Edict Academy's Central Capital Division and East Continent Division were about to be completed and would be activated soon.
When the time came, more young martial artists would enter the Heavenly Edict Academy to study. It would provide a steady stream of talents for the Tiandō League.
…
The Spirit Rabbit was unquestionably the number one beauty of the Heavenly Edict Academy. She was the dream lover of all the male students in the Heavenly Edict Academy.
She had a nickname in the Heavenly Edict Academy — the Angel!
Because of her exquisite beauty, she was very quiet, but definitely not cold.
She was reserved, but never stingy with her smiles.
Countless male students were captivated by her.
Usually, such a girl would become the public enemy of all women.
Moreover, it just so happened that she was absolutely welcomed and loved by the female disciples of Heavenly Revelation Academy. Practically all the female disciples instinctively wanted to protect her.
In the Heavenly Edict Academy, and even in the West Capital, almost no one knew her identity.
Everyone only knew that the Western Capital City Lord, Qin Mengli, took great care of Ling Tu 'er as if she was her own younger sister.
In the Heavenly Enlightenment Academy, the spirit rabbit seemed to have made up for all the joy it had missed in the past ten years.
Furthermore, Yang Dingtian had promised that there would be a day when he would rescue his grandfather and bring him to the Central Capital to live together with him.
Furthermore, her cultivation speed was also extremely fast.
Just over a month ago, she had broken through to the Martial Mystic realm.
Of course, this level of cultivation was nothing in the Heavenly Edict Academy. However, before she entered the Heavenly Edict Academy, she was merely a Xuan Martial Artist.
Therefore, even though her current cultivation wasn't ranked anywhere in the Heavenly Awakening Academy, she was still quite strong.
This was because many people said that she was the most talented person in the entire Heavenly Awakening Academy. Her cultivation speed seemed to be second only to Sect Master Yang Dingtian.
As for Sect Master Yang Dingtian, he was undoubtedly a legendary figure.
He was only twenty-five years old and had only started cultivating martial arts for a little over five years. However, he was already the strongest person in the entire Tiandō League.
Even though he wasn't the strongest person in the world, Queen Hai Xin of the Serpentine Empire, Wulingzi of the Vulture Palace, and Wu Yu of the Netherworld Sea had all surpassed Sect Master Yang Dingtian in terms of cultivation.
However, almost everyone in the Heavenly Awakening Academy believed that Sect Master Yang Dingtian would undoubtedly become the strongest person in the world within five or perhaps three years.
In fact, no one in the entire Tiandō League had any doubts about this day.
Ling Tu 'er's rapid cultivation speed made everyone see another rising star.
Therefore, even though all the instructors in the Heavenly Awakening Academy didn't know about Ling Tu's identity, including some grandmaster instructors, all of them were devoted to her cultivation.
However, almost all the teachers were doing their best to nurture the spirit rabbit. They hoped that within a few years, the spirit rabbit would be able to stand out in the Radiant Parliament.
…
On this day, Ling Tu had finished her class. As usual, she was writing the Heavenly Awakening Academy's newspaper with a few classmates.
Now, the Council of Light didn't only have one newspaper, the Chaos Times. There were almost ten newspapers in total.
Of course, all of these newspapers were currently under the guidance and management of the Council of Light.
The Heavenly Awakening Academy's newspaper couldn't be considered a complete newspaper because it was only circulated within the academy. It was all written by the academy's disciples.
Ling Tu wasn't in charge of writing. She was in charge of drawing and designing the layout.
In fact, these weren't her only hobbies. She liked many other things.
For example, cooking, studying monsters, and so on.
Although her cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds, she wasn't the kind of person who cultivated all day long. She spent a lot of time on her hobbies.
Her cultivation time was shorter than others, but her cultivation speed was many times faster than others.
Perhaps, this was the power of talent.
At this moment, the Lord of Western Capital, Qin Mengli's carriage entered the Heavenly Awakening Academy and came to the editing room of the Heavenly Awakening Academy's newspaper.
"Greetings, Madam." When all the students saw Qin Mengli, they put down what they were doing and stood up to greet her.
As the wife of Yang Dingtian, the Lord of Western Capital wasn't mysterious at all in front of the students of the Heavenly Awakening Academy. Basically, they would see her many times every month.
Moreover, most of the resources in the Heavenly Awakening Academy were personally allocated by Qin Mengli.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was the students or the teachers, they were very close and respectful to Qin Mengli.
"Hello, everyone. Please continue." Qin Mengli smiled. Then, she waved at Ling Tu and said, "Tu 'er, come here."
"Aye." Ling Tu 'er finished the last stroke and came to Qin Mengli. She said, "Sister."
Every time Qin Mengli saw Ling Tu 'er, she would praise the magic of the creator. The face in front of her was really exquisite. It was as if all the spiritual and delicate aura in the world had gathered on her.
In terms of the exquisite and delicate facial features, even Yanyan couldn't be compared to Ling Tu 'er.
Of course, Yanyan was also charming and gorgeous while Ling Tu 'er was purely exquisite. It was as if she was carved out of jade. It was the kind of exquisiteness that couldn't be reduced by a single bit.
"Make a trip home with me." Qin Mengli said, "He's here …"
Ling Tu's little heart suddenly jumped!
Immediately, her exquisite and peerless face flushed with a moving blush.
This "he" was, of course, referring to Yang Dingtian!
Although she was Yang Dingtian's wife in name, she had only met him once.
In her heart, Yang Dingtian was her savior who had rescued her from the sea of bitterness. Moreover, he was very gentle and tolerant towards her.
However, there was only gratitude in her heart. She didn't have any romantic feelings at all.
After leaving Zhongjing and arriving at the Heavenly Awakening Academy.
She could clearly feel the fanatical worship everyone had for Yang Dingtian.
Then, from the words of others, she understood the various things that Yang Dingtian had done and the various miracles that he had created.
Without him, the West Continent wouldn't have been unified.
Countless slaves wouldn't have been liberated. Countless serfs wouldn't have been able to own their own land. Even countless academies wouldn't have had the opportunity to study. The most direct thing was that the Heavenly Awakening Academy wouldn't have existed.
Here, all the disciples had the same thought in their minds. That was the arrival of the world-ending war.
Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the world-ending war. Protecting the Chaotic World and the Tiandō League was the highest mission of the Heavenly Awakening Academy.
Throughout the entire teaching process, there was nothing about loyalty to Yang Dingtian.
However, almost all the students were instinctively loyal to Sect Leader Yang Dingtian.
Moreover, this wasn't the old-fashioned kind of loyalty. It wasn't loyalty to Yang Dingtian as a person.
It was loyalty to his mission and his ideals.
In such an atmosphere, Ling Tu's state of mind was of course greatly affected.
She also began to worship Yang Dingtian and began to accept the theories of the Heavenly Awakening Academy. She began to devote herself to the great cause of protecting the Chaotic World and the Tiandō League.
And in this fanatical worship, she was one of Yang Dingtian's wives in name. Although no one knew this, a strange feeling still accumulated in her heart little by little.
She enjoyed this very much. The hero that everyone looked up to was her husband.
Although no one knew this, it didn't stop her from secretly rejoicing and feeling proud.
Compared to the rotten and dark Vulture Palace, the Heavenly Awakening Academy was a complete paradise.
In the one year of studying in the Heavenly Awakening Academy, Yang Dingtian had never come to see her even once.
However, she wasn't unhappy at all. She even felt very happy and free.
This was a very strange feeling. Although she had experienced a lot, she was still a girl after all. She usually had such lovely feelings in her heart.
I like you, but this has nothing to do with you.
Therefore, although she liked Yang Dingtian, she didn't care whether Yang Dingtian came to see her or not.
Now that she heard that Yang Dingtian had come, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Other than anticipation, she was more nervous.
Therefore, when she sat in Qin Mengli's carriage to the City Lord's residence, Ling Tu's face became redder and redder. Her heart beat faster and faster. In the end, it was as if blood was about to drip out. She almost wanted to jump off the carriage and not see Yang Dingtian.
…
When they arrived outside a room in the City Lord's residence, Qin Mengli said, "Rabbit, go in alone."
Ling Tu pleaded, "Sister, come in with me."
Qin Mengli smiled, "Good rabbit, go in by yourself. You just have to remember that I hope to be with you forever and become a family, okay?"
Ling Tu was stunned and then nodded vigorously.
After Qin Mengli left, Ling Tu took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door and walked in.
After entering, she mustered up a lot of courage and raised her head to look at her husband in name, the hero that she worshipped in her heart.
However, other than Yang Dingtian, she also saw another unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar person.
Although this person was older than Yang Dingtian, he was much more handsome and his temperament was also much more elegant and profound.
"Rabbit, I missed you so much, I missed you so much … My little rabbit." Wu Daozi suddenly rushed forward and hugged Ling Tu in his arms.
Ling Tu was shocked and said in disbelief, "You, you, you are Grandfather?"
Wu Daozi's face was full of tears and he said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, I am Grandfather, I am Grandfather …"
Ling Tu looked at Wu Daozi's face and sniffed his aura desperately. Finally, from his eyes and the outline of his face, she finally confirmed that this was her grandfather. The grandfather that was originally old and withered like a dead tree.
"Grandfather …" Ling Tu immediately cried out emotionally and then hugged Wu Daozi's body tightly.
The grandfather and grandson pair cried for a full fifteen minutes.
Wu Daozi let go of Ling Tu and looked up and down as if looking at a supreme treasure, looking at Ling Tu over and over again.
This was his only family member, his most precious treasure in this world.
Now, she had become so beautiful and so happy. Wu Daozi's entire heart trembled as he looked at his granddaughter's exquisite face. He felt as if his heart was about to melt.
"Grandfather, you've recovered?" Ling Tu looked at her grandfather's face and asked in surprise.
"Yes, Grandfather has recovered."
Wu Daozi said, "Not only has Grandfather recovered, but he has also become very, very powerful. No one can bully my little rabbit in the future.
Grandpa wants to give all the best things in this world to my little rabbit. I want my little rabbit to become the happiest little princess in this world. "
Ling Tu couldn't help but cry again, "Grandfather, you have always given me the best. I was already the happiest granddaughter in this world."
Ling Tu knew very well that the best thing in this world was the love and care of her family. She would never lose sight of this point.
Wu Daozi cried, "No, no, Grandfather couldn't protect you before, but from today onwards, Grandfather can protect you.
Today, Grandfather is here to take you home, to our home. "
Ling Tu was stunned, "Home?
What home? "
Wu Daozi said, "Of course, the Vulture Palace. Now, the Vulture Palace is our home."
Ling Tu's exquisite little face trembled, and she shook her head, "No, the Vulture Palace is not our home."
"It already is," Wu Daozi said, "Soon, the Vulture Palace will be Grandfather's, and in the future, it will also be yours.
Now, no one in the Vulture Palace dares to bully Ling Tu, and the Vulture won't dare to either.
From now on, you are the princess of the Vulture Palace. "
Ling Tu's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of confusion, and then she looked at Yang Dingtian, "Then, then I … I'm already married."
Wu Daozi said, "When I married you to Sect Master Yang Dingtian, it was to protect you and let you leave the Vulture Palace.
But now, Sect Master Yang Dingtian is willing to divorce and is willing to give you freedom, so Grandfather wants to take you home. "
Ling Tu's delicate body trembled, and she looked at Yang Dingtian, "Divorce?
Sect, Sect Master Yang, you, you want to divorce me? "
Yang Dingtian said softly, "No, everything is your freedom.
If you want to stay, then you can stay.
If you want to leave and follow your grandfather back to the Vulture Palace, I won't stop you. Everything will follow your will. "
Ling Tu suddenly fell into a complicated mood.
She, she hated the Vulture Palace.
She loved the Heavenly Enlightenment Academy very, very much. Every inch of air here was beautiful.
Everyone here loved her and took care of her.
She, she worshipped Yang Dingtian, and was secretly happy because she was his little wife in name.
Therefore, she really wanted to stay in the Council of Light and the Heavenly Enlightenment Academy.
However, her grandfather was the closest person to her in this world. He was her only family member and the person she loved the most.
Now, she had to make a choice.
No matter which choice she made, it was a kind of cruelty.
She slowly closed her eyes and tried to calm down, no matter what she told herself.
Tu 'er, Tu' er, you have to calm down and think about it carefully. Think about this matter clearly.
Gradually, she calmed down and became clear.
Then, she understood!
She was already married, so she should follow her husband.
She couldn't betray her marriage just because her grandfather had become stronger. She couldn't go back with her grandfather just because she could become the princess of the Vulture Palace.
Although in her heart, her grandfather's weight was definitely higher than Yang Dingtian's.
But more importantly, it was right or wrong!
If she went with her grandfather, then it was wrong.
If she stayed, then it was right!
And even if she stayed, she wouldn't lose her grandfather. A married girl could still go back to her family. She could go back to the Vulture Palace to see her grandfather.
Therefore, Ling Tu decided.
"Grandfather, I want to stay!" Ling Tu said to Wu Daozi.
