Liu Que's body was suppressed by a huge force, and he was sent crashing into the forest. He wanted to resist, but he was powerless. That finger's power was like the suppression of heaven and earth, and even though it hadn't caused him much damage, he was still powerless.
He had only ever felt this kind of powerlessness from top powerhouses.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Mr. Huai stared blankly from nearby. He couldn't help but look into the distance, as if Liu Que had flown over from far away.
Liu Que stood up, calmly patted the dust off his clothes, and left. He hadn't even looked at Mr. Huai from start to finish. His mind was filled with thoughts of Lu Yin's attack. He hadn't seen it at all. How had he appeared?
He hadn't been able to react at all, and why hadn't he been able to resist after being sent flying?
Liu Que's mind was filled with questions, but he was certain that he wouldn't look for Mister Haoyu for the time being. The difference between them was too great.
This person's cultivation was unfathomable.
Liu Que wasn't Xia Shenguang, and he didn't think too much about benefits. His mind was filled with cultivation and battle. Lu Yin had no choice but to deal with such a person directly. Otherwise, he would be annoyed to death in the future, especially since the Greater Teleportation Array on the stone pillar couldn't trap him.
…
Ever since he'd taught Liu Que a lesson, he hadn't looked for Lu Yin again. Xia Shenguang hadn't made any moves either, and the rumors about him and Wen Zhao in the academy seemed to have been suppressed.
On the other hand, Lu Yin was able to attend two classes without a hitch, and no one dared to cause trouble for him.
Half a month passed just like that. One day, Lu Yin received a notice that Dean Wen had summoned all the mentors for a meeting. This was his first meeting since joining Yi Xian Academy.
The meeting was held in the courtyard atop Dean Wen's stone pillar. Rather than calling it a mentors' meeting, it was more like a small gathering. Lu Yin met all the mentors on this day.
He saw someone from the Bai family from the Frigid Immortal Sect, a cultivator with two Origin Tribulations.
He also saw Mister Wei from the Bishop's history.
Lu Yin was rather interested in this Mister Wei. When he'd first arrived at the academy, he'd heard the students say that this Mister Wei was a woman disguised as a man and was especially handsome. Today, he finally saw her in person.
She really was good-looking, Lu Yin praised.
This Mister Wei had a standard beauty face. No matter how she disguised herself, she couldn't hide her pure beauty. After dressing up as a man, she looked even more slender, giving off a different feeling.
Mr. Wei seemed to sense Lu Yin's gaze, and he turned around with a smile.
Lu Yin blinked and nodded with a smile.
"Mister Haoyu is interested in Mister Wei?"
Mr. Huai walked out from behind Lu Yin and smiled as he asked in a low voice.
Lu Yin had been at Yi Xian Academy for a month now, and he had met Mr. Huai a few times.
"I'm curious. After all, the academy only teaches history, and Mr. Wei is the first one," Lu Yin said.
Mr. Huai replied, "Who wouldn't be able to tell that Mr. Wei is a woman disguised as a man? Perhaps only the headmaster knows her true identity. Let me tell you, the headmaster treats her very well."
"Oh?"
Lu Yin was intrigued.
Mr. Huai said in a low voice, "Among all the new instructors, Ms. Wei is the only one who doesn't have to teach. As long as she wants to, she can choose not to teach and remain in the academy."
"There's such a thing?"
Lu Yin was astonished.
Mr. Huai said, "We don't know the reason either, but Mr. Wei is quite a nice person. We greet each other when we meet and don't show any arrogance.
She's also one of the few instructors who doesn't set up traps on the stone pillars. "
Lu Yin looked at Mr. Wei, who was quietly standing in the courtyard and looking into the distance. Lotus?
This word suddenly appeared in Lu Yin's mind.
President Wen arrived and smiled as he looked at the instructors. He said a few polite words before getting to the main topic. "The purpose of this meeting is to inform all of you that in half a year, the Four Way Scales will be inviting Yi Xian Academy to visit and exchange knowledge. Before that, we will need to choose the instructors who will lead the team, and not all instructors can go."
"Whether or not the instructors are qualified does not depend on us, but on the students. There will be a vote, and the instructors with the most votes will be able to lead the team. The rewards will naturally be generous, and most importantly, after the experience, the instructors will be able to view the Progenitor's Classic."
"The Progenitor's Classic?"
Mr. Zheng exclaimed.
President Wen smiled and nodded. "Everyone knows the importance of the Progenitor's Classic, and it will be of great help to all of you. I hope that all of you will work hard to gain the favor of the students. For the students, choosing a suitable instructor is also very important. After all, we will be going to the Four Way Scales, which represents Yi Xian Academy's image and …"
President Wen spoke quite a bit, mainly to motivate the instructors.
After the meeting ended, a few instructors stayed behind to speak with President Wen. Lu Yin wanted to ask about the Progenitor's Classic as well, but he could only leave when he saw that President Wen had been surrounded.
As he passed by the lake, he saw Mr. Wei standing there, deep in thought. He thought for a moment and walked over.
"Mr. Wei, excuse me," Lu Yin said.
Mr. Wei turned around and looked at Lu Yin with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Haoyu."
Her voice was graceful and pleasant, and it made Lu Yin feel like he was drinking water when he was thirsty. How should he put it? It quenched his thirst.
Lu Yin smiled. "What are you looking at, Mr. Wei?"
Mr. Wei turned around and continued to look at the lake. "The academy is like this lake. It looks calm, but in reality, the slightest external force can turn the world upside down."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Why would you feel that way?"
Mr. Wei smiled. "I'm not feeling that way; I'm just thinking about it. Mr. Haoyu, is there something you need?"
"Oh, there's something I'd like to ask you about."
"Please go ahead."
"What is the Progenitor's Classic?"
Mr. Wei thought for a moment. "There have been a few Progenitors in the history of the Astral Tree Domain, and one of them was the Progenitor. He was also the founder of Yi Xian Academy, and he cultivated the ancient language. He had a deep understanding of it, and it's rumored that before he died, he wrote down a scripture that he had hidden in Yi Xian Academy.
"Many instructors have read it, and they've all benefited from it. President Wen benefited the most, and the day after he read the Progenitor's Classic, he passed his Half-Progenitor origin tribulation and broke through to Half-Progenitor. Thus, the Progenitor's Classic can be considered Yi Xian Academy's cornerstone treasure."
Lu Yin understood. "So it was written by the Progenitor. No wonder. That's a Progenitor's item, and it'll definitely be very helpful to one's cultivation."
Mr. Wei smiled. "Everyone's path of cultivation is different, and the Progenitor's path might not be suitable for everyone. History is always the same, and every Progenitor will carve out their own path."
Lu Yin was astonished. This Mr. Wei had actually thought of this?
This was the path that Nine Mountains and Eight Seas had taken, and she was just an Enlighter.
Mr. Wei looked at Lu Yin. "Does Mr. Haoyu think that I'm too arrogant?
I'm just an Enlighter, yet I'm talking about the path of the Progenitor realm? "
"Of course not.
Mr. Wei's words reminded me that cultivation is more important to oneself, "Lu Yin said.
Mr. Wei smiled. "I've studied history and the experiences of many powerhouses. Without exception, they all had to carve out their own paths. Although I'm just an Enlighter, my knowledge shouldn't be any worse than an Emissary's."
"If that's the case, then I'll have to bother you from now on. There are some things that I'd like to ask you about," Lu Yin said. He really did want to ask about history.
Mr. Wei smiled. "I'll tell you everything I know."
Not long after, the two left. This Mr. Wei gave Lu Yin a very strange feeling. He was clearly very approachable and easy to talk to, but why did he give Lu Yin a cold feeling? Was it because of his appearance?
Lu Yin had been at Yi Xian Academy for a month, and at the same time, Xia Zhitong had received an invitation from the Xia family to participate in the ancestral ceremony.
Xia Zhitong had only relaxed when she received the invitation. Neither Xia Feng nor Xia Yuan had been able to cure her of the poison, so she only had hope that Xia Ziheng, a half-ancestor, would be able to cure her. This ancestral ceremony was her best opportunity.
Ever since she had been poisoned, she had suffered unforgettable torture. Not only could she not touch men, but her appearance had also aged. She was constantly worried that she would be poisoned to death. This torture was just as Haoyu had said: it was the greatest pain in the world.
She had dreamed of touching men, but because of this poison, she had been forced to chase away all the men in her residence, which had driven her crazy.
She could not wait to head to Shenwu Plane, but it was not the time for the ancestral ceremony yet.
The Cloudpass Stone suddenly vibrated, and she picked it up. There was no one there, and only a cold voice could be heard. "I've found his whereabouts."
Xia Zhitong was delighted, but her eyes were filled with malice. "Where are you?"
"Yi Xian Academy, alias Haoyu," the voice replied.
Xia Zhitong was shocked. "He went to study at Yi Xian Academy?"
"Yes, he's a teacher who was recently recruited by Yi Xian Academy," the voice replied.
Xia Zhitong had not expected Haoyu to become a teacher at Yi Xian Academy. "Alright, I got it." She ended the call and contacted Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan quickly picked up. "What's up?"
"There's news about Haoyu," Xia Zhitong said.
Xia Yuan's tone was gloomy. "Where is he?
I'll go and capture him. "
Xia Zhitong replied, "Yi Xian Academy, alias Haoyu. He's a teacher."
"Yi Xian Academy?
How did you know? "
Xia Yuan was shocked. Yucheng and Yi Xian Academy were rather far apart, and Xia Zhitong did not have the ability to gather information about Yi Xian District.
Xia Zhitong replied, "I bought the information from Boundless."
Xia Yuan hesitated. "Yi Xian Academy is not an ordinary place. There's a half-ancestor there, so unless he comes out, it'll be very difficult to capture him."
Xia Zhitong fell silent. Yi Xian Academy was beyond her influence.
"However, there are people from Shenwu Heaven in Yi Xian Academy. Just you wait." Xia Yuan ended the conversation and found Wu Taibai's contact information through other people in Shenwu Heaven.
Wu Taibai belonged to Shenwu Heaven, while Xia Yuan belonged to the Xia Clan. Although they were both from Shenwu Heaven, they had never contacted each other before. This was the first time he had contacted Wu Taibai.
Wu Taibai was also very surprised when he received Xia Yuan's call. Xia Yuan belonged to the branch family of the Xia Clan, and he was the largest branch family with a half-ancestor. Although he was far from being as strong as Xia Shenfei and Xia Shenguang's direct descendants, an ordinary disciple of Shenwu Heaven like him could not compare to them.
Although he was a supreme disciple, there had always been too many supreme disciples in Shenwu Heaven. The ones who could truly stand tall in a sect would always be the Shen generation. This was also why he had betrayed the sect and gone to the Fifth Mainland. He wanted to walk his own path.
