Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Emperor Xue Ye's face was so gloomy it looked like water would drip from it.
"Someone!"
He shouted sharply.
Two guards immediately walked in from outside the door and knelt on one knee.
"You, immediately take this personal letter I wrote to the Star Luo Empire at the fastest speed, and hand it to the Star Luo Emperor personally!"
"And you, immediately go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and invite School Master Ning to the palace; just say there are important matters to discuss!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two subordinates acknowledged the order, and their figures disappeared.
In the empty Imperial Study, only Emperor Xue Ye's heavy breathing remained.
He was now worried and even restless.
He never expected that Spirit Hall still retained such formidable power; that so-called Hall of Worship was simply a nest of monsters!
In the past, the Heaven Dou Empire was supported by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Dugu Bo.
However, Dugu Bo had already left the Heaven Dou Empire a few years ago.
Now, Emperor Xue Ye was even starting to be unsure if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still reliable.
Sword Douluo, in all likelihood, like Bone Douluo, would have also received rewards from the heavenly screen, greatly increasing his strength... Would they still be willing to support the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?
All of this, he feared, would depend on Ning Fengzhi's decision.
A cold glint flashed in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes.
Hopefully... Ning Fengzhi would be sensible.
Otherwise... perhaps it would have to be a fight to the death!
He personally had no strength and was no match for a Titled Douluo, but before he died, he could still issue an order to secretly attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
And aside from its two Titled Douluo powerhouses, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was basically nothing to fear.
Even if there were many disciples with different surnames in the Sect, those direct descendants had no self-preservation ability at all!
Ning Fengzhi valued those direct descendants very highly.
So, for now, Emperor Xue Ye actually wasn't afraid that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would rebel.
Given Ning Fengzhi's character, even if he no longer supported the Heaven Dou Empire, he wouldn't actively move against the Imperial Family.
Therefore, Emperor Xue Ye believed he still held the initiative.
Canglan Academy.
Ning Rongrong looked at the ranking list before her and also frowned: "How did Spirit Hall suddenly have so many powerhouses appear?"
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but say, "According to the Titled DouluoSpirit Hall previously exposed openly, there were only Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, the current Supreme Pontiff, and the High PriestQian Daoliu. How did four more Priests suddenly appear?"
Dugu Yan snorted, "It's obvious. Spirit Hall is hiding powerhouses because they have great ambitions. Their ambition to unify the continent hasn't been for just a day or two."
Seeing the girls' worried expressions, Lin Yuan smiled lazily: "You don't need to worry too much about this. As long as you stay in the academy, you won't be in danger."
"Actually, I quite agree with Spirit Hall's approach to unifying the continent. After all, if the entire continent only had one power in charge, perhaps it would be much better than the current situation."
"Of course, this premise is that Spirit Hall can remain true to its original intentions. If, after unifying the continent, Spirit Hall cannot continue to be good to the common people, then it will be useless."
Dugu Yan frowned: "Teacher, but starting a war will kill many people, and your disciples include those from the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire."
"How can you speak for Spirit Hall?"
The girls also looked at Lin Yuan, hoping for an answer.
After all, they all knew that their teacher's strength was unfathomable and he should not be afraid of Spirit Hall.
Lin Yuan chuckled: "Don't look at me like that. You are indeed from the Two Great Empires, and Xiao Wu even has a grudge against Spirit Hall."
"But objectively speaking, Spirit Hall indeed has the better policies among the three major powers. After all, don't forget, I am a commoner, and all of you, except Xiao Wu, are nobles."
"Of course, I'm not saying nobles are bad; who doesn't want to live a good life? But I hate those nobles who commit evil deeds. Such nobles deserve to die, whether they are from the Two Great Empires or Spirit Hall."
As long as it's a country or a power, there will inevitably be dirty places beneath it.
Spirit Hall is no exception.
The most memorable one should be the branch hall master of Gengxin City, right?
Although Spirit Hall benefits commoners, it doesn't mean that everyone in the hall is a commoner. For example, Qian Daoliu's Angel Family is inherently noble.
And one thing Lin Yuan admired about Spirit Hall was that it provided a channel for commoners to rise.
Gui Mei, Yue Guan, and even Bibi Dong all came from commoner backgrounds.
Ning Rongrong pouted, a little coquettishly: "Then, if Spirit Hall attacks our family, will you still not care, Teacher?"
Lin Yuan merely blinked: "That's not necessarily true. You should also be very clear that I dislike getting involved in the entanglements between your various major powers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have set up the academy here, and I wouldn't even let your fathers and grandfathers come over."
"It's precisely because it's troublesome."
Ning Rongrong tentatively asked: "Teacher, are you... looking down on my father?"
Lin Yuan admitted directly: "Yes, think about it yourself. What has your father done all these years? Even without leaving the house, just hearing what you say makes me feel helpless."
"He is just a support systemSpirit Master. He needs to understand his position. Yes, he is protected by two Titled Douluo, but why can't he be a bit more low-key in his actions?"
"Gu Rong and Chen Xin can protect him for a while, but can they protect him forever?"
Lin Yuan then said: "This is also what I've always taught you: as Spirit Masters, be as low-key as you can, and avoid trouble if you can. "
"It's not that Spirit Masters are invincible. Cultivation is never smooth sailing. If you seek too much attention, who will die if not you?"
"What do we cultivate for? Have you ever thought about it?"
Xiao Wu said without hesitation: "To become stronger! To avenge my mother!"
Ning Rongrong hesitated slightly: "To become stronger?"
The other girls' answers were similar.
Lin Yuan then said: "Both yes and no. It's to live a better life, to live longer, and to protect the things you care about."
Then, Lin Yuan looked at Ning Rongrong again: "Someone like your father, jumping around and causing trouble—sometimes I want to beat him up, but for your sake, I choose not to meddle."
"But now that you've seen this heavenly screen, you should also understand that there are many on this continent stronger than your two grandfathers. If someone finds your father displeasing one day, then..."
Ning Rongrong's pretty face also turned pale: "Then, then when I go back, I'll tell my father to be more low-key..."
Lin Yuan smiled: "Alright, you don't need to worry so much. I've already said that as long as you're in the academy, I'll guarantee your safety, and I'll also protect your family's safety. As for the other disputes on the continent, it's best if you don't get involved."
Lin Yuan clearly had the demeanor of a reclusive master, having seen through the human World and its vicissitudes, choosing only to look out for himself.
He didn't have many thoughts about this World; he just wanted to achieve eternal life and live a leisurely life.
And at this moment.
The light of the heavenly screen changed again.
