Chapter 66: Chapter 31: Worth and Disposal

Hearing the question,

Li Changkong’s face revealed a strange expression and said, "I couldn’t help asking him a question, ’Why do you want to monopolize the Su Family’s property?’"

"What did he say?"

"He countered me by asking, ’Back in the day, you knocked on a widow’s door, dug up the grave of the last member of a family, and over the years, you’ve taken bribes from students and made quite a bit, haven’t you?’" Li Changkong’s expression was very peculiar.

All three were simultaneously: "..."

Those things, Boss had never done!

But, Bao Feiyu, Duan Zhongliu, and Bing Shangxue instantly understood what Fang Che meant.

"That’s interesting."

Bao Feiyu stroked his chin, while Bing Shangxue’s eyes were also filled with contemplation.

"What do you feel, Boss, we should do?"

Bing Shangxue asked.

"What do I think?" Li Changkong hesitated for a moment in his eyes, then stood up and began to pace back and forth, speaking softly, "Right now, we Guardians, although we still maintain superiority on the surface, the actual strength of our high-level power is already not as strong as the Wei Wo Zheng Sect."

This statement cast a shadow on everyone’s faces, yet they could not refute it.

"Lord Xue losing a move to Duan Xiyang had such a large impact on the mentality of martial artists across the entire continent."

"We’ve taught so many students, how many of them can you say will definitely make it onto the Weapons Leaderboard, provided they don’t die young?"

Li Changkong let out a wry smile and asked, "Are there any?"

No.

The three looked down and sighed.

"Mo Gan Yun has enough innate talent, but he only hopes to make it onto the cloud-level Weapons Leaderboard; compared with the most talented students we have taught before, he is on par. But Fang Che is surely capable of making it; with effort, he even has the hope to compete for first place."

Li Changkong took a deep breath and said, "So, do you understand now?"

"We understand."

All three nodded their heads.

Their movements were slow, but their eyes gradually became more determined.

"We are just instructors."

Li Changkong said, "Not Master."

The statement was cryptic, but the three understood the Boss’s point.

Equal treatment for all!

"Great!"

Having determined the fundamental tone, the matter became easier to handle.

"Whether to be praised for centuries or scorned for millennia, with such a seedling in our hands, should we purposefully let it wither?"

Li Changkong took a deep breath and said, "Even if it’s a disciple from an Evil Sect, don’t tell me the four of us can’t teach them properly? In five years’ time, we can’t change a student’s nature? If he is not a disciple of the vile, we can add a pillar of strength to the continent; if he is, at the very worst, I believe we can make him both righteous and evil!"

Li Changkong said, "The grace of a teacher runs deep, forming bonds; if in the future... if in the future, he truly is a disciple of the Evil Sect, then... using our own blood to awaken even a sliver of his conscience, I feel it’s worth it. Even if it’s just a sliver."

"In this case, I believe it’s enough."

"Let’s do it this way!"

...

Fang Che certainly didn’t know the considerations of the instructors; he was busy extorting Mo Gan Yun.

"Are you treating me to lunch at noon?"

Fang Che asked.

"Sure, no problem... wait a second? Why... suddenly are you asking me to treat you to lunch?" Mo Gan Yun was surprised.

"Because of me, you get to live in a single room, one large room just for yourself, shouldn’t you treat me to lunch?" Fang Che asked.

"That does make sense."

Mo Gan Yun rubbed his head, vaguely feeling something wasn’t quite right, but still agreed.

In the Martial Arts Academy, two people shared a room.

And both Fang Che and Mo Gan Yun being among the peak of the new students, naturally were assigned the best, largest, and most convenient rooms.

Now, with Fang Che living elsewhere, the room naturally became Mo Gan Yun’s alone to enjoy.

"Then it’s settled."

Fang Che smiled inwardly.

Well, this Mo Gan Yun, his personality, very adorable. As expected, quite a... simpleton.

Several instructors were formulating teaching plans.

A hundred students needed to be carefully sorted, formulating several levels of teaching plans, tailored to the individual, according to each person’s abilities.

They must not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.

This was an extremely tedious task, so generally during the first few days after the new students started, the instructors were the busiest.

And during these days, the new students enjoyed their most comfortable time.

Because nobody was supervising them.

This process generally took three days.

Students at Baiyun Martial Academy called it ’The last moment of relaxation and joy in life!’

Well, the last moments of relaxation and revelry before entering hell.

Once classes started, it was one year of continuous pressure until the next batch of new students entered the academy, marking a milestone.

And this milestone...

Even harder to describe!

Once graduated, whether it’s life, combat, or cultivation, everything depends on oneself, and all kinds of pressures come at you like mountains.

So, ’The last moment of relaxation and joy in life!’ isn’t wrong.

While the new students were enjoying this moment, the older students were undergoing torture.

Examinations!

Mountain Master Gao Qingyu’s methods came wave after wave.

Fourth-level senior student examinations! Starting from the first day the new students entered, anyone who didn’t show progress was penalized two points! Those whose combat power and ranking had regressed, five points deducted!

The entire Baiyun Martial Academy resounded with wails!

Apart from those few who were very strict with themselves and progressing rapidly, only one person was eagerly anticipating this examination.

Fang Qingyun.

He could clearly feel how tremendous his progress had been!

Even the term "a transformation as profound as shedding the old body and exchanging it for a new one" wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Everything started after my cousin invited me to that dinner.

As for this, Fang Qingyun had no evidence, but he pressed the matter deeply into his heart.

He knew if he voiced his suspicions, how much trouble it would cause his cousin!

He still remembered, after sensing the change, he had quietly talked to Fang Che about it once.

"Cousin, I’ve been in top form lately, it seems like my comprehension and innate talent have both improved a lot."

At that time, Fang Che said with a smile, "Then... the next assessment shouldn’t be 7,476 anymore. Congratulations."

Back then, Fang Qingyun pretended to be furiously embarrassed and stormed off.

But in his heart, he was certain.

Because the cousin didn’t show any signs of surprise!

With anticipation and anxiety... Fang Qingyun participated in this assessment with his most perfect effort!

...

In the time when freshmen were herding sheep and seniors were being assessed.

The Martial Arts Academy was having a meeting.

The content was only one: the handling of Gao Yunqi and Zhou Yi.

Something had happened, and the Martial Arts Academy couldn’t just play deaf and mute.

Moreover, there was already a stir outside.

Vice Mountain Master Huang Yifan firmly supported Gao and Zhou, believing they did nothing wrong.

Whereas Supervisor Meng Chizheng was adamant that these two had tarnished the Academy’s reputation and their sins were unforgivable!

Dean Lv Jiao Mountain firmly believed that the two instructors, Gao and Zhou, bore no responsibility!

Whether it was those supporting Meng Chizheng or those siding with Huang Yifan, both had substantial numbers.

The majority were neutral—punishment was acceptable with justifiable reasons; non-punishment was also fine as there were rationales to follow.

Therefore, the ultimate pressure fell on Mountain Master Gao Qingyu.

In his hands, there was a piece of intelligence.

He had just received it: Ximen Xuri of the Ximen Family was suspected of privately communicating with the Heavenly God Sect, with a ninety percent chance that he was already with the Heavenly God Sect and Ximen Xuri was a seed nurtured by them.

The information was absolutely reliable.

Thus, from the beginning, Gao Qingyu had decided what to do. How could I punish my own people for killing someone from the Heavenly God Sect?

So...

From the beginning of the meeting, Gao Qingyu looked like he was dozing off, all until Huang Yifan suddenly burst with anger and was about to beat Meng Chizheng on the spot...

Mountain Master Gao Qingyu finally opened his weary eyes, "Ah... Ah? What’s happening? Why is everything in such chaos?"

Immediately he flew into a rage, "Is this a meeting of the Baiyun Martial Academy? Are you sure this isn’t hooligans fighting over turf?!"

The people below all felt their hearts skip a beat: These two lines are so damn familiar!

Bang!

The Mountain Master slammed the table fiercely, continuously pounding, "Bang bang bang..."

"Do you all even regard me as your Mountain Master anymore? Huh? Do you?!"

"Are you two trying to form factions and rebel?!"

Gao Qingyu, fuming with rage, bellowed as he slammed the table.

All the high-ranking members of the Academy bowed their heads, pinching between their brows with a look of helplessness.

Here it comes again!

The Mountain Master is pulling another rogue act.

Indeed, while cursing furiously, the Mountain Master began to seize the opportunity.

"Utterly lacking organization and discipline, if you can show such disrespect to me as the Mountain Master, not to mention others! Gao Yunqi and Zhou Yi certainly made mistakes, but is it necessary to knock them dead with one blow? They have been diligent colleagues for so many years, are you so eager to drive them to their deaths?!"

Gao Qingyu shouted angrily, "Huang Yifan! Are you trying to kill them? Want to seize their wealth? Want to seize... other things? Huh? Are you using your high cultivation and combat power to pressure me, the Mountain Master?! Say it! Are you?!"

Huang Yifan internally cursed up a storm.

This damn bastard, it was me who was defending them, right?

When does this old scoundrel ever take advantage of the situation to flaunt his presence by dragging me into his tirades, using me as an example to scare the monkeys?

I’m totally fed up!

Meng Chizheng across didn’t dare utter a word either.

With even Vice Mountain Master Huang, the one with highest combat power, suppressed, how could he jump around?

Besides, the Mountain Master had an underlying message.

What does ’wanting to kill them? Want to seize their wealth? Want to seize... other things?’ mean?

Where did all that come from!

Who wants to kill them? Who wants to seize the wealth? With those two paupers, what’s there for me to seize?

But one dares not object.

To object would be to admit to being the kind of person who ’wants to kill them? Wants to seize their wealth? Wants to seize... other things?’

So, one had no choice but to swallow the anger and remain silent.

"That’s the decision on this matter!"

Mountain Master Gao Qingyu said decisively, pounding the table, "Anyone who wants to rebel, anyone who disagrees with this decision, can go and report me directly to the higher authorities!"

Everyone was speechless.

So it’s decided?

May I ask, what’s been decided?

Anyone who opposes is rebelling? Where did that line come from?

Needless to say, Mountain Master’s rogue act had reached a realm of its own.

At that moment.

"Knock knock!"

The meeting room door was knocked.

The door opened.

Gao Yunqi and Zhou Yi appeared at the doorway.

Gao Qingyu turned his head to look and immediately froze, a flicker of tension in his eyes.

Why have these two blockheads come here?

So many people want to deal with you, what are you doing here?
