"Master? Why are you back?" Lin Huang looked at Yu Kongbei who was standing outside the hall in shock. After all, it was impossible for the Second Elder to show mercy. The two of them had been on the Dao Verification Platform for nearly a hundred times in the past two years, and they were deeply involved. If they took all the responsibility, even if they returned next year, it was hard to say whether they would be able to see their master. But how could they explain the situation in front of them?
"What are you talking about? I have always abided by the rules of the academy. Could it be that I have something to do with you? Moreover, this Hall of Myriad Weapons was originally under my control. After handing over the jade scroll, I naturally had to return.”
" Uh…" Yu Kongbei's words made Lin Huang speechless. Lin Shuo, who was beside him, almost curled his lips up to his chin when he heard that. He thought to himself that he had not cultivated well enough. Looking at his master in front of him, he could clearly distort black and white, but he could still speak so calmly and righteously.
If Yu Kongbei abided by the academy's rules, could Feng Yuanjian be the Phoenix Cry Academy's holy land of inheritance? He had to reward him for his "outstanding performance" every few days?
" Junior Brother…" Luo Yunyan was also suspicious when she saw Kong Bei's arrogant attitude. Of course, she knew what she had done. With Jiang Lingjue's personality, she would probably punish her junior brother on the spot. How could she allow him to appear here so openly?
"Senior sister, don't worry. Junior brother has something important to do and can't be delayed. May I ask who the owner of Inch Iron is…?" Yu Kongbei did not hesitate at all when it came to serious matters. He immediately looked at the people present solemnly.
"It really is you, kid!" Yu Kongbei had expected this when he saw everyone looking at Lin Xuan. In his opinion, other than Lin Xuan and Wang Dashu, there was probably no third person who could do this.
Among them, Feng Qianqiao was the Holy Maiden of Chun Yang Palace and had inherited the Gentle Kiss Soft Sword. Lin Lang had also been recognized as the owner of the non-spirit bead. As for Lin Huang and the rest, although their bloodlines were extraordinary, the chances of them being able to sense the Inch Metal were slim.
One had to know that back then, even with the first-generation Phoenix Emperor's Royal Grade bloodline, he could only sense that "all artifacts had a spirit" but could not make it appear. As for the remaining two, the former had a greater chance. After all, the actual weight of the Wutong Token was naturally incomparable to the Feather Emperor Token.
Feng Yuanjian, the most daunting place in the Phoenix Cry Academy. It was usually managed by the Second Elder, Jiang Lingjue, and it was also his residence. However, in a quiet room at this moment, the master and disciple sighed repeatedly, no longer showing their usual swift and decisive image.
"This disciple knows his mistake, but Senior Brother's actions are not worth it.”Su Wangyue was also very surprised by Empty Cup's " audacity ", but how could she force a man and a woman to be together? I only sigh that fate has no fate, and it only increases my sadness.
"I just want him to understand that as Master's disciple, I will never lose to that woman. Unfortunately, the juniors below were useless and were completely suppressed by his descendants.”Su Wangyue was still stubborn. When it came to matters of the heart, it was inevitable for anyone to be biased, let alone a woman like her who refused to admit defeat.
"In short, from now on, you must not deliberately target any of your fellow disciples. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!”Jiang Ling gave her ultimatum.
"This disciple…obeys!" Although she was extremely unwilling, Su Wangyue knew that with the dean's order, the rise of the Lin family in the academy was unstoppable.
"Second Elder, Inch Metal Master, Feng Qianqiao, and Lin Lang are here!”Yu Kongbei's voice sounded outside the room. When she saw Lin Xuan appear, Su Wangyue's expression was surprisingly calm. She had suffered a lot of blows today, so she didn't reject anyone.
"The headmaster has been waiting for a long time.”Jiang Ling did not have any intention of going with them and actually let Yu Kongbei bring the three of them to the audience, but did not mention anything about the punishment for the merit case.
"Disciple obeys!" After saying that, the group of people walked towards the depths of Fengyuan Stream. Along the way, Lin Xuan and the other two were also extremely surprised. Who would have thought that the dean would actually reside deep within the academy's disciplinary grounds?
After a while, everyone finally saw a straw hut not far away. The fragrance of tea wafted out from the stone table in front of the house. A sage-like man sat in front of the table. He looked middle-aged, about the same age as Yu Kongbei.
"Disciple Yu Kongbei (Lin Xuan/Feng Qianqiao/Lin Lang) greets the dean!”The four of them greeted him in unison.
"You're all here. Come, come, try this Hidden Fog Tea. It's very beneficial to you.”Wei Guishen's face was filled with a spring breeze. He did not put on any airs as he invited everyone to sit down and drink tea.
"I'm not making the rules here. Even if it is, you should be drinking to your heart's content, right?”Wei Gui was calm and collected, but Yu Kongbei broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that he would be so famous.
"Come and sit. The three little fellows behind you are more promising than you.”Wei Guishen looked at the three youths with a kind gaze, his satisfaction overflowing from his words.
The group of people took their seats one after another. They were no longer nervous. However, the Hidden Fog Tea was indeed a treasure. It actually made everyone intoxicated in the artistic conception of the fragrant tea.
" Headmaster, I…" Yu Kongbei saw that this matter was a secret and immediately expressed his thoughts. After all, he was not the one who had been recognized as the owner of the sacred object, so it was indeed inconvenient.
"There's no need to avoid it. This matter has something to do with you.”Wei Guishen understood what he meant and smiled.
"This is only one of the reasons. Did your master ever tell you the origin of the sacred object?”Wei Guishen looked at Feng Qianqiao. There were some things he wanted to ask for advice from her.
"Headmaster, I asked my master about it, but I didn't get an answer. He only knew that Qingwen was the sword of his grandmaster, Empress Huang, and that it was passed down from generation to generation. He didn't know anything else.”Feng Qianqiao also told him the truth.
"I didn't expect the sacred object to be so mysterious that even Chun Yang Palace knows very little about it. However, as the headmaster, there are some things that I need to let you know.”Wei Guishen didn't doubt Feng Qianqiao's answer. After all, for thousands of years, there were only a few rumors about the origin of the sacred item in the entire Spirit Cultivation Mysterious Sky.
"There is a record of a sacred object in the academy's secret manual. It was left behind when the Phoenix Emperor gifted the spirit-less pearl to the academy. Although it was a paragraph, it only had eight words-the holy object had a spirit and was chosen by the heavens.”Wei Guishen's gaze was deep and his words were mysterious. However, Lin Xuan and the rest did not understand what he meant and waited quietly for him to continue.
"I've been studying this for many years, but I still don't understand the meaning behind it. Until the night before the Phoenix Banquet this year, the Heavenly Dao finally had a clear sign.”Two jade slips suddenly appeared in Wei Guishen's hands and he handed them to Feng Qianqiao and Lin Lang.
Even if the dean did not recognize the owner through his perception, he would not be able to take away the items of the Secret Technique Pavilion. Moreover, even if it was amazing, how could he easily give away the original without making a copy? If the recognition failed and the secret technique was destroyed, wouldn't it be a waste of heaven's gift?
"There's no need to be suspicious. They took the initiative to appear here before the Phoenix Feast this year.”Wei Guishen's words were inconceivable to everyone present. No wonder he called it a sign from the heavens.
"If my guess is correct, other than the Phoenix Empress, you should be the second person in the history of Chun Yang Palace who can make a kiss come out of its sheath.”This was another sentence that stunned Feng Qianqiao. This was an absolute secret of Chun Yang Palace, and she didn't want outsiders to know about it.
"These two jade slips were left behind when the first Phoenix Emperor gave them to the False-Spirit Pearl. It was rumored that it was because of the Phoenix Empress's instructions. As the saying goes, everything is decided by the heavens.”Wei Guishen's words finally made Feng Qianqiao see the light.
"As for yours, it's the same. It just appeared three days ago.”Another jade slip was handed over. The words "Inch of Iron" were engraved on it. However, the way Wei Guishen looked at Lin Xuan was different from the way he looked at Feng Qianqiao and the other two.
"Inch Iron is the personal weapon of the founding master of the academy.”Wei Guishen's tone was solemn, as if he was recalling the most significant change in the history of the Phoenix Cry Academy, which was also the reason why Inch Steel was reduced to such a state.
"There are some things that are not suitable for you to say at this time. Just remember, if you are chosen by the heavens, you must accept the will of heaven. The way of heaven is impermanent. Take care of yourself. In addition, from now on, you will be under the name of Empty Cup.”Wei Guishen didn't answer everyone's questions. After a series of exhortations, he walked back to the straw hut, leaving the four people stunned.
"Disciple will follow your teachings!" Lin Xuan and the other two replied in unison, then they bowed to Yu Kong.
"At this point, do you still think you can trap me?”Just as the four of them were confirming their master and disciple status, a sinister voice suddenly sounded from the grass hut.
