Chapter 29: The Office of the President

Under the clouds of Mount Ni, in a remote square building outside the inner courtyard.

Qin Rong, Lang Hetong and Ji Jingyao, the three heads of Tianshu Academy whose status was second only to the five hall masters, were sitting in front of their desks, with their wide sleeves hanging on both sides of their wooden chairs, listening carefully to their disciples' reports with an air of dignity without being angry.

After a long time, the report ended and the three looked at each other.

"There are no ancient relics around Shengjing, so how could there be evil species? This doesn't make sense at all. And how could those unconscious ghosts mix with immortal cultivators?"

Qin Rong's brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Lang Hetong also held back and said, "With the help of the Rong Dao Realm, there was no one injured or killed. This is actually very strange."

Ji Jing looked at them and said after a moment: "Among the eight people attacked this time, three escaped unscathed, and two only suffered minor injuries. Let's call them over to ask questions."

"That's exactly what I meant." Qin Rong nodded.

The moment Lu Qingqiu, Lou Siyi and Sun Zhiqiao joined the battle, they were rescued by Ji You.

Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao had their necks strangled by the evil creature, but it was okay. So under the watchful eyes of many outer courtyard disciples, they were invited to the master's hall on the mountain.

They couldn't explain why the evil species appeared, but they had a lot to say about why there were no casualties.

"Ji You is a martial arts practitioner, and his swordsmanship is amazing..."

"He did this, this, and then this..."

"After the second sword was taken, the evil seed was at a disadvantage. Later, the third sword was even more unexpected..."

"Brother Ban and Brother Ji were on the verge of death, and it was this third sword that interrupted their opponent's thunder magic..."

Bai Rulong acted as an action actor, imitating the movements on the spot.

Lu Qingqiu then described how he coordinated with Bai Rulong's dancing and gave a complete account of what he had seen, leaving the three leaders silent.

"The current Immortal Sect is so powerful that the world has been at peace for a thousand years. Even the Snow Boiling Meeting, Immortal Tour Meeting and other Taoist meetings have to be restrained. Before this incident, even I thought that martial arts skills were not up to par."

Qin Rong rolled up his sleeves and said, "Until this moment, the outer courtyard disciple who practiced both martial arts and martial arts used extreme control to tell everyone the reason why martial arts exist."

After hearing this, Lang Hetong said, "Martial Arts."

"what?"

"It was once called Budo."

Ji Jingyao didn't listen to the two people's discussion, but frowned and said, "Ji You, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere before?"

Qin Rong also felt familiar with his words: "I think I've heard that before."

Lang Hetong laughed loudly: "Isn't this Ji You the one who was one step ahead of the Chu family and the first to sense the Heavenly Book?"

"That student from the countryside?!"

"Exactly."

After hearing this, Qin Rong and Ji Jingyao looked at each other in surprise.

The practitioner of both martial arts and Taoism not only sensed the heavenly book, but also used his sword to control the situation and save his fellow practitioner. It was simply unbelievable.

Lang Hetong stroked his long beard and said, "Although the battle is clear, the most important questions are who that Rong Dao Realm master is, what is his purpose in attacking the disciples, and why the evil species appeared in Shengjing City."

Qin Rong nodded when he heard this: "Yes, the disciples searching the city have not sent back any news yet, let's ask the three disciples who participated in the battle first."

"Qi Rui is currently injured and unable to get up, so don't call him."

Ji Jingyao spoke.

The Ji family of Qingzhou is also a prominent family, and Ji Qirui is the nephew of Ji Jingyao.

Qin Rong heard the voice and said: "Ban Yangshu is also seriously injured, let's ask him later."

He had no family relationship with Ban Yangshu, but he was an old friend of the Ban family, so he also said a few words to help.

The cultivation of immortals in Qingyun Tianxia is originally an inheritance in which the first cultivator drives the later cultivators.

However, the word "hou" in "hou xiu" does not refer to later generations, but "future generations", which is a misunderstanding of many people.

"Then... call the outer courtyard disciple over."

"Well, since he has fought against the evil species and tried the thunder method of the Rong Dao realm, there must be some details that you and I don't know."

Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao immediately became anxious. Ji You was their father who saved their lives. "Masters, Ji You's spiritual power has been consumed too much. He is sleeping soundly and is not suitable for questioning."

Lu Qingqiu and the other two girls also stepped forward upon hearing the voice: "Three masters, why don't you wait until he wakes up before asking."

"A disciple of Tian Academy was attacked in Shengjing. All fellow Taoists in the world have heard about it. If we don't find out the truth as soon as possible, it will damage the prestige of the sect."

Qin Rong picked up the teacup and said, "Besides, the consumption of spiritual power does not mean injury, so a few simple questions will do no harm."

Ji Jingyao nodded after hearing this and looked at a disciple next to him: "Go to the outer courtyard and call Ji You to question him." "Yes, Master!"

The Executive Yuan is independent of the Inner and Outer Courts, and its purpose is to maintain the authority of the Holy Emperor, and its actions are quite radical.

In their eyes, Ji You is just an outer courtyard disciple with a low status and no aristocratic family background, so they naturally won’t think too much about it.

Even if Ji You entered the inner courtyard in the future, as long as he could not become a direct disciple of the Fifth Palace, it would not affect their management of the courtyard.

What's more, there are only five halls in the inner courtyard, and Zizai Jixiang has already been chosen as the personal disciple. The other inner courtyard disciples are all eyeing this position, so Ji You has no chance.

They do everything based on the authority of the Holy Sect and follow normal procedures. Although it may seem inhumane, it will not be criticized.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qingqiu, Bai Rulong and others felt unhappy, but they also knew that they had no say.

This might be the humbleness of being born in a poor family. Even if one cultivates immortality like Ji You, without a noble family background, one will still encounter injustice.

But at this moment, the disciple who had just gone out to ask for help came back in a hurry, but he was alone.

"Three head masters, no one has been invited."

Qin Rong noticed that he was dirty, as if he had rolled around somewhere, so he frowned and asked, "You don't want to come?"

The disciple hesitated for a while and said, "It is said that he is in the chapel in the Jade Garden of Bishui Lake. He is still sleeping. I did not go in."

"Someone stopped you?"

"It was Palace Master You from the Jixiang Palace in the inner courtyard. She was sitting outside Ji You's room. When she saw the disciple coming to invite someone, Palace Master You told the disciple to get out."

Qin Rong was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Then...then let him have a good rest. If you have any questions, just wait until he wakes up."

Ji Jingyao was silent for a while after hearing this: "Actually, that's exactly what I meant."

Lu Qingqiu, Bai Rulong and others were also surprised. They didn't understand why Ji You only spent some spiritual energy but attracted the visit of the Lord of the Inner Court.

However, before the five people could think about it carefully, they were asked to go back.

At this time, in the Director's Court, Qin Rong pondered for a long time: "Could it be that Ji You is the disciple that Palace Master You values?"

Lang Hetong shook his head: "Don't forget, Jixiang Palace has already passed on the teachings personally."

……

Ji You slept for two days without being disturbed, and when he opened his eyes again it was already noon.

After waking up, I felt refreshed and suddenly felt puzzled.

Some time ago, in order to read the Heavenly Book, he had been trying his best to squeeze out the potential of his divine consciousness. Every morning when he woke up, he would feel groggy like a hangover, but this time was obviously different.

Just as Ji You was wondering, an old man came over from the outer room with a bowl of water.

The old man was wearing a white robe, but it looked a little loose, more like pajamas than casual clothes.

Seeing Ji You wake up, the old man walked over, held his wrist and felt his pulse.

"It turned out to be the doctor..."

"?"

Ji You was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled his wrist hand away from the old man.

He has no spiritual essence, and his spiritual spring is broken.

He didn't know whether the doctors in this world could find out anything, but it was better to be careful.

The old man was slightly stunned, then he stroked his beard and laughed: "Are you still clear-headed?"

"It's OK, I don't feel anything wrong."

"Then it's no big deal."

Ji You nodded after listening to this: "How is the situation in the hospital now? Have those three people from yesterday been caught?"

The old man stroked his long beard and squinted at him: "I'm just a doctor, how can I know all this?"

"Right."

"Here, drink water."

The old man stood up, took the water from the table, and looked at the letter he had written to Old Qiu but had not yet sealed: "Did you write this letter?"

Ji You took a sip of water and found it a little sweet: "Yes, I came to let my family know that I am safe."

Kuang Cheng became the top scholar and wanted me to be the headmaster. I have inquired about it. The headmaster did not accept his personal teachings, but he lived for more than 300 years. I may not be able to survive him...

The old man couldn't help smacking his lips when he saw this sentence.
