God Weird Fairy

Chapter 358 Nan Yi Thief
After daybreak, Du Heng rushed to the Ministry of Personnel to perform his duties at work, while Nan Yi went to Wuxiang Academy.

The Wuxiang Academy is located in the county seat of each county, which is a branch academy; and the Wuxiang Academy close to the capital can be called the main academy, and can also be regarded as the outer headquarters of the Wuxiang Immortal Sect.

The teachers in the county branches may also be able to become officials in the Ministry of Culture, and use their official duties to assist in their practice.

However, the teachers and gentlemen of the General Hospital basically focused on writing books and articles to accumulate fame, delving deeply into the literary world, and had nothing to do with officialdom.

Nan Yite came to pay a visit.

No matter what, he was a disciple of Wuxiang Xianmen after all. Even though the Nantian branch of Wuxiang Academy had suffered a series of misfortunes, causing Nan Yi to no longer be a Wuxiang student, he was still a Wuxiang disciple.

Now that you have left the capital, you should pay a visit to the outer sect headquarters of Wuxiang Xianmen.

Not to mention, if Nan Yi wants to break the tacit suppression of the nine tribes of Dali, the strategy to break the deadlock must also rely on Wuxiang Academy.

At the moment, the officials of the Ministry of Culture among the Nine Departments, that is, Nan Yi’s many outer sect brothers, although they are unwilling for Nan Yi to come to Beijing to disrupt the situation, use his true Qi and martial arts to compete with them for the people’s destiny in the next hundred years.

But no matter what, we all come from the same sect, are both Wuxiang disciples, and share a common bond.

Even if it is just based on this kind of affection, it will not make the two sides put down their swords and make peace, and eliminate the dispute. Because it is related to one's own cultivation, only by competing for the first and the last, and determining the winner, can one willingly accept the current situation of being inferior to others and be content to be behind others.

But at least on the surface, both sides will look friendly.

As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. As long as Nan Yi is humble and does not say anything rude to these outer sect brothers, the other party will not become particularly unhappy or embarrassed with Nan Yi.

After all, what the current struggle is all about is the ownership of the people's hearts and destiny, that is, the biggest piece of the pie made up of the scattered spirituality of ordinary people.

The winner of a fight for the Dao will be blessed with good fortune and will be able to make rapid progress in his cultivation.

But the loser in the competition will not get any share of the spoils. Without good fortune to help them practice, it is difficult for them to make great progress and they can only accumulate spiritual attainments slowly.

To put it bluntly, the loser will just lose the extra benefits that are icing on the cake, which is not particularly important, so there will not be any need to hurt the relationship and cause a big fight right from the start.

If it were a fight between two fundamental great ways that conflicted with each other, it would be a fight to the death between two enemies, determining not only who was superior but also who died.

In short, Nan Yi’s current situation is not very optimistic, but it is not dangerous either.

He was calm in his heart and acted leisurely.

Nan Yi arrived at Wuxiang Academy after having breakfast and presented his visiting card. After a while, he was led to meet the teacher of the academy.

The Master Wuxiang who lived in the capital was named Luo and Su.

However, people generally just call him Master Luo, and few call him by his real name.

This is because the Luo family is a thousand-year-old family that follows the family precepts. The pursuit of the Luo family heads of all generations is to be conferred the position of Dali National Master.

It's just that there are very few people who can hold the position of national teacher, so successive heads of the Luo family have to settle for the next best thing and seek to pass down the position of master of Wuxiang Academy from generation to generation.

Each generation of the Luo family's patriarch would stay in the position of the academy's master for a long time, and only when the next generation of Luo family cultivators had completed their transformation and were able to take over the position of master would they break through and establish their foundation.

In this way, the name of Master Luo was passed down from generation to generation, and people gradually began to call the current head of the Luo family Master Luo. If Wuxiang Academy had not set up branches in various counties and had more than one master, people would have almost thought that Master Luo was the only master of Wuxiang Academy in the past thousand years, as if the entire Wuxiang Academy was named Luo.

Of course, over the past thousand years, not every generation of the Luo family head could take the position of master of Wuxiang Academy in the capital. Occasionally, the position would fall into the hands of other great scholars in the literary world.

But even if he cannot get the position of the master of the main hospital, he can at least get the position of the master of a branch hospital.

Nan Yi was not sure why the Luo family precepts required successive Luo family heads to strive hard for the title of Dali National Master or Wuxiang Master.

But he knew one thing, that is, since Luo Su, the current head of the Luo family, was the master of Wuxiang Academy in the capital, he was theoretically equivalent to the eldest senior brother of the Wuxiang Immortal Sect.

When Nan Yi saw Luo Su, he immediately bowed and said, "Nan Yi, Wuxiang disciple, greets senior brother."

Luo Su had white hair and beard, and was dressed in a green shirt. He looked like a scholar. However, Luo Su was only seventy years old. Apart from his white hair and beard, he had a ruddy complexion, a full forehead, an upright figure, and even strong muscles under his green shirt. He could be called strong and sturdy.

His hair and beard are as white as snow. One can tell at a glance that he has deliberately controlled the color of his hair and beard. They are pure white and flawless, neither gray nor mixed with other colors. He does this simply to create the image of an old master in front of the world.

After hearing Nan Yi's speech, Luo Su kept smiling, but he sneered in his heart.

Nan Yi called himself a disciple and called him Senior Brother, instead of calling him Master Luo as a student. He seemed respectful, but in fact he had grown wings and did not want to continue to be a student and be bound by the academy, but wanted to be on an equal footing with the academy.

In Luo Su's opinion, Nan Yi's words were actually no different from those of other officials who had graduated from the Ministry of Culture. They all gave up their student status and became equals with the academy.

There's nothing wrong with doing this.

The college can indeed treat these graduates as equals, handle official business impartially, and never talk about the righteousness of the college all the time.

But at the same time as not being bound by the academy, not being close to it means that the academy can just stand by and watch without helping either side.

In this case, whether to favor one side or not depends entirely on the promise of benefits.

Luo Su sneered in his heart. He was actually a little curious about how Nan Yi had the confidence to convince the academy to help him by coming to his house like this.

Since mid-April, the dispute between steam and true qi has gradually attracted attention in the court of Dali.

Although Luo Su was not a court official and had never participated in court meetings, he knew that the nine tribes of Dali and all the civil and military officials felt that they were secretly plotting against by Nan Yi.

As early as when Chu Kuangsheng, the former governor of Chu County, wrote a letter to Emperor Li, praising the wonders of internal strength and martial arts as if offering an auspicious omen, Emperor Li wanted to summon Nan Yi to the capital.

However, due to opposition from all officials, Emperor Li was unable to issue the decree forcefully, and it was delayed until the samsara disaster in Nantian City, when Chu County was in chaos.

It was not until this time that Emperor Li found an opportunity to combine the three tasks together. He sent the Minister of Personnel Du Heng as the imperial envoy to rush to Chu County to find out the truth, and also sent Du Heng to the South China Sea to sign the "Yingzhou Peace Treaty" with the South China Sea monsters. At the same time, he summoned Nan Yi to the capital.

The situation was somewhat urgent at that time, and the civil and military officials could not delay any longer. After agreeing to the first two things, they also agreed to summon Nan Yi to Beijing without any further objection.

But we must note that at this time, all the civil and military officials were only facing internal martial arts. The so-called internal force was only one-tenth of its magical power.

The officials of Dali never took internal strength seriously. They just didn't want to cause any more trouble and were accustomed to eliminating variables, so they opposed the Emperor Li's summons to Nan Yi in the beginning.
