"That..."
It must be said that Zhuge Longsu was tempted. Setting aside Ming Rui for the mont, Luo Feng, as the Divine Marquis of Daqian and known as the "First Divine Marquis" and "Daqian War God," if they could retain him, for the Northern Zhou it would be an irresistible temptation.
Despite being annoyed at Feng Mingxiao’s previous inaction, with the matter at hand, Zhuge Longsu expressed that all this could be set aside for now.
"Dean Zhuge, what are you waiting for? Summon Mountain Master ng, and we can eradicate one of Daqian’s arms today," Feng Mingxiao urged, seeing Zhuge Longsu still hesitating, anxiously spoken.
"This marquis also wants to test the abilities of a Confucian Grandmaster. Zhuge Longsu, quickly summon Mountain Master ng," faced with such a situation, Luo Feng was not the least bit daunted, but instead proactively challenged.
"Divine Marquis..." Ming Rui urgently said.
"Disperse," a distant voice broke the unnecessary silence.
"Teacher..." Ming Rui murmured to himself.
Zhuge Longsu straightened his robes and bowed towards the top of Datong Mountain, saying, "Yes, teacher!"
Then he turned to Ming Rui and Luo Feng and said, "Whatever your purposes here tonight, they have co to naught. You may as well return."
"How can you say it has co to naught?" Ming Rui said with a smile, "I ca here today as a ssenger, to deliver a letter to Daqian Jixia Academy, and now I present it to Dean Zhuge."
With that, Ming Rui raised his hand and sent a white letter flying towards Zhuge Longsu.
Zhuge Longsu waved his sleeve to dispel the True Qi on the letter, took the letter, and said, "Now that the letter is delivered, you both can leave, can’t you?"
"Of course." Luo Feng and Ming Rui disappeared into the night sky.
"Princess," Zhuge Longsu turned towards Feng Mingxiao.
Feng Mingxiao was the elder sister of the current Emperor of Northern Zhou, hence Zhuge Longsu addressed her as the Princess.
"Dean Zhuge, won’t you invite in to sit for a while?" the enchanting Princess of Northern Zhou said with a smile.
"The night is deep; I won’t entertain the Princess," said Zhuge Longsu.
Seeing that Feng Mingxiao wanted to say more, Zhuge Longsu added, "This is the teacher’s wish."
Indeed, ng Shanhe had told them to "disperse," and although Feng Mingxiao was reluctant, she had no choice but to take her leave, daring not to raise any objection. The extent of ng Shanhe’s prestige in the Northern Zhou was evident.
...
"Phew, finally stopped," Qing Yu exhaled a sigh of relief.
The white light outside gradually weakened, and the night once again enveloped the world-famous Academy. It seed the fight had ceased, and the Haqi River had dispersed. At least Qing Yu felt that his connection with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had been restored, and his ntal state was no longer under so intangible pressure.
His ears were still ringing a bit, but it was already much better than before.
At first, it was just a verbal altercation, but then it turned into an all-out shouting match, even causing an artificial earthquake, truly frightening Qing Yu beyond asure.
Tonight, although Qing Yu was not at the scene to spectate, rely feeling the aftermath of the great battle allowed glimpses of the tip of the iceberg that was the power of Divinity Realm experts. The Divinity Realm, Martial Arts Divine, truly transcended the mortal plane, worthy of being called Divine Demons.
Qing Yu kept circulating the "Heavenly Human Rebirth Technique," attempting to restore his Heart Like Still Water state, but repeatedly failed. Even when trying to read the Yin Yang Family’s scriptures again, he couldn’t fully imrse himself. Right after the battle, Qing Yu’s heart was still savoring that earth-shattering feeling, truly unable to calm down.
So, Qing Yu just sat there dumbly, bamboo slips in hand, with a vacant look, his mind wandering who knows where.
Ti trickled away...
Qing Yu remained in his trance, until a certain mont...
"Brother ng, Brother ng..." A rapid knocking sound, along with this familiar voice, had a certain urgency to it.
On opening the door, he indeed saw a fool covered in "goose feather" snow standing outside. Through the lingering white light, it could be seen that this fool was none other than Young Master Jin Mingxuan, who had left earlier in the evening to warm up his rifle at Tianyue Workshop.
Once Jin Mingxuan saw the door open, he squeezed in and quite familiarly poured himself a cup of tea from the pot on the table, and began to drink it as if it was his own business.
Qing Yu closed the door, keeping the fluttering snowflakes outside, and said, "Didn’t you go to Tianyue Workshop to have fun? Why have you co back, and at this late hour, too?"
"With such a commotion at the Academy, how could I not co back to check it out? Besides..." Jin Mingxuan’s gaze suddenly beca a bit lancholy, a bit sad, "I was polishing my gun and enjoying myself when suddenly a thunderous boom ca along, causing to imdiately disarm and tuck tail. I lost the mood for the night."
Uh... Qing Yu suddenly didn’t know what kind of expression he should make.
"That damn Ming Rui, causing such a ruckus in the middle of the night..."
"Do you know him?"
"Hey, who in the Heavenly Capital doesn’t know the shaless Ming Rui..." Energized, Jin Mingxuan excitedly started spilling Ming Rui’s dark history, "Brother ng, looking at you, you probably don’t know the glorious past of this Master of Philosophy.
This Ming Rui, just like Dean Zhuge, was a disciple of Mountain Master ng. Forty years ago, during Zhu Xiping’s challenge to Mountain Master ng, together they defeated the Philosophy students who had co along to challenge, becoming known as the rising stars of the Confucian world. Because of his surna, he was dubbed the ’Sun and Moon Scholar.’ He was even more famous than Dean Zhuge back then.
However, later on, Mountain Master ng chose Dean Zhuge, whose reputation was slightly less in every aspect, to succeed him as the head of Mountain River Academy. Humiliated, Ming Rui actually went straight to Daqian philosophy and beca Zhu Xiping’s disciple, isn’t that laughable?"
"Tonight, he ca looking for trouble again and got sent back by Dean Zhuge, disgraced. This Master of Philosophy really lost face big ti."
Laughable? Maybe, at least he’s now an expert in the Divinity Realm. And tonight, Ming Rui didn’t return without achievent. If Qing Yu wasn’t mistaken, they ca to test whether the report on Lu Qifeng was true, and judging by the current situation, their objective has been achieved. A storm is approaching.
"Brother Jin, you’re a Daqian person, after all, is it really okay for you to talk about your Daqian Divine Communication Experts like that?" Watching Jin Mingxuan continue to ramble on about the illustrious deeds of Ming Rui, Qing Yu, feeling a headache coming on, rubbed his forehead.
The ringing in his ears still echoed, and now there was an additional crow-like person babbling on endlessly, making Qing Yu, who was already without a trace of sleepiness, feel like he was going to pass out again.
"Brother ng, that’s not right, the philosophy..." Jin Mingxuan started to criticize everything about the Philosophy, from its founder Zhu Xiping’s notorious rumors, to how Philosophy people pranced around with moral superiority, and on and on...
This guy, he just ca here to vent his frustration in the middle of the night, didn’t he?
"Bang."
Jin Mingxuan’s head thudded onto the table, and he fell into a deep sleep. He had been put to sleep by Qing Yu, who simply couldn’t take it anymore and had touched his sleep acupoint.
"At last, peace and quiet." Picking up the bamboo slips laid aside, Qing Yu strove to imrse himself in the ocean of knowledge, aiming to escape the worries of the world.
