The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

This was also the method Yunying devised to solve the problem of Jiang Yao's constant urging to get married.

At this moment, Zhou Tianqi and Zhu Dizhu also noticed the smile on Qin Guang's face. Zhu Dizhu said indignantly, "Old Qin, what are you laughing at? Do you think your son didn't go back then? He was the first one to get taken down!"

"Hahaha..." Zhou Tianqi also laughed out loud, which was quite unkind. Indeed, Qin Zhen rushed onto the stage first in a great hurry, and even boasted that he would give Yun Ying a handicap, but the result was predictable...

It was precisely because of Qin Zhen's "correct example" that the others were not as careless as he was when they took the stage. Although they still lost in the end, their results were much better than Qin Zhen's.

After Zhu the landlord finished speaking, Qin Guang froze and asked stiffly, "Is that so?"

"Really? You didn't know?" Zhu the landlord asked in surprise. In his opinion, this was common knowledge.

Qin Guang's face darkened, and he remained silent.

How could he possibly know that? He had been staying on the battlefield of the heavens for hundreds of years, and no one had specifically told him. Moreover, Qin Zhen was probably secretly keeping the news under wraps so that his embarrassing incident wouldn't reach Qin Guang's ears.

The other invincible players all assumed Qin Guang knew, so they were even less likely to use this to provoke him. This led to the current situation where Qin Zhen's father was the last to find out...

Perhaps out of a desire for revenge, Zhu the landlord climbed onto Qin Guang's neck and said, "Since you still don't know, then I'll tell you the whole story. Back then... blah blah blah... and then your son was taken down by Yun Ying."

After listening, Qin Guang said expressionlessly, "You all stay here and keep watch, I'll be right back."

Before Yun Jie and the others could agree, Qin Guang vanished instantly.

The three men looked at each other, and then Landlord Zhu said, "This... won't cause anyone to die, will it?"

Zhou Tianqi shook his head and said with certainty, "No, after all, he's his own son. No matter how humiliating it is, he's still his own son. However, it's probably not much better than death."

"Haha, that's good," Zhu the landlord said, his eyes darting around. "I really want to go and take a look."

Yun Jie and Zhou Tianqi: "..."

The two of them kept their mouths down, their eyes closed, and ignored him. Old Zhu, that guy, always loved to stir up trouble.

After a while.

Qin Guang returned, looking refreshed and in high spirits.

Yun Jie glanced at him and asked, "Did you vent your anger?"

Qin Guang nodded. "Mm."

"You didn't kill him, did you?"

"Can't die."

At this moment, Landlord Zhu suddenly said, "I'm going to the toilet, I'll be back in a bit."

Before he could finish speaking, he had vanished without a trace. Judging from the direction he went, it was the direction where Qin Zhen was located.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Zhen happened to be in the Battlefield of the Heavens at this time. As the Lord of the Great Qin Prefecture and the son of the Great Qin King, he would come to the Battlefield of the Heavens to "hunt" in his spare time. He often liked to poison the "little fairies" of the immortal race, but he always disguised himself well, so he was not discovered by the immortal race for the time being.

Not long after, Landlord Zhu returned.

As soon as he returned, he winked at Yun Jie and Zhou Tianqi, leaving them completely bewildered and unable to understand what he meant.

Finally, Zhou Tianqi transmitted his voice to him: "If you have something to say, just say it. With your winking and gesturing, who knows what you mean?"

Landlord Zhu transmitted his voice to the two men, his tone slightly disappointed: "Sigh, after all these years, you two still don't understand me. What a disgrace..."

Yun Jie ruthlessly interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop, let's get down to business."

"Ahem," Zhu the landlord remembered the important matter and had to cough twice to maintain his facial expression. He glanced at Qin Guang and, finding that he didn't react, continued to transmit his voice to Yun Jie and the other two: "I just went to take a look at Qin Town, and guess what? It's terrible, really terrible, extremely terrible."

Landlord Zhu used three "miserable" words to describe the scene. As someone who frequently beat his son, he actually felt that others were being too cruel...

He continued, "Old Qin really went all out. Judging from Qin Zhen's injuries, it will probably take him three to five days to recover."

Zhou Tianqi said calmly, "You seem to sympathize with Qin Zhen?"

"Of course, he's my nephew. He was beaten so badly, shouldn't I, as his uncle, sympathize with him?" Zhu the landlord answered without even thinking.

Zhou Tianqi said in a low voice, "But it seems that you're the one who caused him to be exposed. Come to think of it, you're the real culprit."

"Cough cough," Zhu the landlord said stubbornly, "I just let it slip by accident. I didn't know Old Qin didn't know. I didn't mean to!"

Yun Jie interjected, "But not only did you find out later, you also gave Lao Qin a detailed account of what happened..."

"Ahem, look, the stars are so bright tonight." Feeling embarrassed, Zhu the landlord quickly changed the subject.

Zhou Tianqi glanced at him sideways and said, "Moreover, I heard that someone once beat his son so badly that he couldn't leave the house for half a month. I don't know if it's true or not, but that beating must have been much worse than Old Qin's."

Zhu the landlord suddenly became furious, "Nonsense! I didn't hit him very hard at all. I just beat him until his head was swollen. His limbs are still intact. He's just too scared to go out and see people."

Zhou Tianqi continued to tease him: "So that's how it is. I didn't know you, Old Zhu, had a penchant for slapping people in the face..."

Landlord Zhu: "...Old Zhou, something's not right with you. Why are you always attacking me?"

Zhou Tianqi glanced at him and said indifferently, "What do you mean, 'What's going on?' Didn't someone want to steal my daughter-in-law?"

Landlord Zhu was so angry he jumped up and down, "What do you mean I'm fighting you for your daughter-in-law? It's clearly you who's fighting me for her! I already made an agreement with Yun Jie that if he has a daughter, our two families will..."

"Wait a minute," Yun Jie interrupted him, "When did I say such a thing? I don't remember saying that. Old Zhu, if you keep making things up, do you believe I'll have my Yun Ying go and beat up your son again?"

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more," said Zhu Dizhu, glaring at Zhou Tianqi. "It's all Old Zhou's fault for bringing this up again!"

Zhou Tianqi smiled without saying a word: "Hehe..."

Then, the group fell silent.

After all, they've made enough of a fuss.

······

······

Time always slips away unnoticed.

In the blink of an eye, it has been 320 years of Anping calendar.

That year, Su Long turned eighteen and officially came of age.

In the past four years, he has not seen his adoptive father again, and he has been unable to find any news about him even after asking around.

Having just come of age, Su Long had only recently broken through to the third level of the Kaiyuan realm, so it was clearly impossible for him to enter a better war academy. He could only choose those that were less prestigious, otherwise, with his cultivation level, he really wouldn't be able to pass the entrance exam.

In the end, Su Long barely passed the exam and was admitted to a bottom-ranked ordinary higher war academy called: Qianshan War Academy.

The Thousand Mountains War Academy sounds impressive, but in reality, it ranks at the bottom of the Great Xia Prefecture. It is often among the three worst war academies selected each year.

However, Su Long was still very happy. He knew his own aptitude very well; he was simply not cut out for cultivation. But no matter what, as long as he was admitted to the War Academy, breaking through to the Thousand Jun Realm was a sure thing.

"Dad, just wait. By the time you come back, I'll definitely be a Thousand-Jin Realm expert."

At this moment, in Su Long's eyes, the Thousand Jun Realm was already considered a strong person, after all, Nan Yuan City was a place where even the Ten Thousand Stone Realm could walk sideways.

Su Long gazed at the starry sky, lost in thought, revealing his longing for Yun Jie.

Su Long thought to himself that apart from liking to beat him up for no reason, his cheap father was pretty good in other aspects.

Anping calendar year 320.

July 27th, close to the start of the school year.

The students from Nanyuan who successfully passed the examination and were admitted to higher education institutions gathered at Nanyuan Academy, where they were escorted by the city guards and Longwu Guards to the capital city of Daxia.

Almost all institutions of higher learning were located in the capital city of Daxia Prefecture, so those who passed the examinations each year went to the capital to study.

This was true not only in the Great Xia Prefecture, but also in other prefectures. Because of the importance of higher education institutions, and because the capital city of each prefecture was the most defensively strong place within the prefecture, many higher education institutions were crammed into one city.

This time, without any trouble from the Myriad Races Sect, the students arrived at the capital of the Great Xia Prefecture without any incident.

Led by a senior from the Thousand Mountains War Academy, Su Long followed him to a secluded corner—well, not exactly a corner, but certainly a bit remote.

Moreover, just by looking at its appearance and the size of its campus, Su Long could conclude that this academy was indeed at the bottom of the rankings...

Since he was already there, Su Long entered the university with hope in his heart.

······

Spring has passed and autumn has come. Five years have passed since Su Long entered the Thousand Mountains War Academy. This year, he is twenty-three years old.

A day ago, he successfully broke through to the second level of the Thousand-Pound Technique. He was practicing the simplest Thousand-Pound Technique, the one that Yun Jie had taken out. After the establishment of various prefectures, with Yun Jie's consent, Qin Guang directly published this technique, and all prefectures could learn it for a fee.

That's right, it's paid, but not much, just one merit point. Even though it's only worth one merit point, Yun Jie's daily income is not low, although he himself doesn't care.

At the same time, today is also the day Su Long applies for graduation. In the Thousand Mountains War Academy, as long as you break through the Thousand Jun Realm, you can apply for graduation. There are no high requirements like in other academies. After all, the academy's higher-ups know the level of their students. If the requirements are too high, wouldn't the number of graduates each year be as rare as phoenix feathers?

Therefore, their requirements are not high; a thousand jin (a unit of weight) will suffice.

Su Long was already at the height of his strength and easily passed the graduation exam.

After passing the assessment, Su Long did not choose to return to Nan Yuan, but went directly to the recruitment office of the Demon Suppression Army.

Although his dream was to join the Dragon Guard, he was aware of his own abilities, so he could only "tearfully" give up his dream.

"Hello, I want to join the army."

At the Demon Suppression Army's recruitment office, Su Long stated directly.

The staff member glanced at him, his face stern, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure? Have you discussed it with your family? You should know that once you register, you can't back out. Otherwise, you'll be a deserter, and you should know the punishment for deserters, right?"

Su Long nodded without hesitation, "I'm sure!"

As for discussing it with his family? No need. He had already told his adoptive father back then, and Yun Jie had agreed at the time.

Seeing Su Long's firm attitude, the staff member's expression softened slightly. He took out a form from the drawer and said, "Fill out the information first, then wait over there. Someone will take you in for testing in a little while."
