Chapter 430 The Young Singer's Journey 99
Xiao Yu looked at Mo Yi, who was lying on the ground panting, and a thought struck him. He said:
"Now that there are no more immortals in the heavens, you naturally no longer need to guard the four borders. Why don't you come back to Tianqi City with me?"
Mo Yici was sore all over from the beating, and she was a little taken aback by Xiao Yu's sudden suggestion: "Tianqi City? What would I do in Tianqi City?"
Xiao Yu said with a smile, "To be a teacher at Jixia Academy, working alongside your senior brother Qi Tianchen."
"Ok?"
Mo Yi subconsciously looked at Nangong Chunshui.
Three years after the founding of the Northern Li Kingdom, the Jixia Academy was established, but it remained relatively unknown until Li Changsheng became the director of the Jixia Academy, at which point it truly rose to prominence.
Over the next thirty years, the Jixia Academy ushered in its golden age, and students from all over the world felt honored to become its disciples.
However, what brought him success also brought him failure.
The school prospered because of Li Changsheng, but his influence also drastically changed its atmosphere.
Li Changsheng was unwilling to enter the imperial court and had a great dislike for the then-reigning Emperor Tai'an. His attitude naturally influenced his disciples, making them yearn even more for the freedom of the martial world.
Even Xiao Ruofeng, who came from a royal family, was affected by this, not to mention the other disciples.
Therefore, although the Jixia Academy was renowned and had a wealth of talent, it did not provide the court with many pillars of society, and even remained independent of the court due to Li Changsheng's tough stance.
Later, Li Changsheng regained his youth, changed his name to Nangong Chunshui, abandoned his Great Chungong, and took Luoshui to Kunlun to guard the northern border.
Before he left, in order to ensure that the school could remain independent from the imperial court, he specifically appointed Chen Ru from Qianshan Academy to take over the school.
The academy receives a salary from the imperial court for nothing, yet it prides itself on being aloof and does not contribute to the court. How could Xiao Yu continue to let it go unchecked?
However, to revitalize the school, it is necessary to select a highly capable teacher to oversee it.
Mo Yi is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate at present.
Mo Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment. After thinking it over, he realized that he didn't have a better place to go at the moment, so he might as well follow Xiao Yu back to Tianqi City.
If things don't go well by then, it's not too late to leave.
and……
He glanced at Xiao Yu, who was smiling amicably, without leaving a trace, and knew in his heart that if he did not agree now, even the Crimson King would not let him leave easily.
With that in mind, Mo Yi readily agreed, but made one more request: "Mr. Li has been at the school for thirty years, so I will also limit myself to thirty years, after which I will leave the school."
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Isn't Mo Yi thinking the same thing as him?
The Imperial Preceptor Qi Tianchen is only at the half-step Divine Realm and is getting old, so it's time to consider the next Imperial Preceptor.
Mo Yi and Qi Tianchen are from the same school, but Mo Yi has a deeper understanding of Taoist techniques and is much stronger.
After he had spent thirty years in the academy, he had grown older and more mature, making him the perfect candidate to succeed Qi Tianchen as head of the Imperial Observatory.
snort!
Mo Yi is nothing to you!
Xiao Yu readily nodded in agreement.
Mo Yi was initially worried that Xiao Yu would refuse, but seeing him agree so readily, she breathed a sigh of relief, completely unaware that Xiao Yu had already arranged everything for her future.
Seeing that Xiao Yu had easily swayed Mo Yi with just a few words, Nangong Chunshui shook her head and said with a hint of mockery, "It seems that His Highness the Crimson King has some reservations about me. Otherwise, why wouldn't he consider making me the supervisor of the Jixia Academy?"
Now that Xiao Yu's strength has been exposed, Wu Xin is always by his side.
In this way, how could people in the martial arts world not understand that Xiao Yu is the white-robed sword immortal who is praised in the martial arts world?
But what's done is done, who dares to say anything? And who can say anything at all?
Moreover, apart from crippling Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, Xiao Yu didn't do anything to the major sects; he merely 'reasoned with them'.
So what?
In this world where strength reigns supreme, the strong always have more say.
Moreover, Xiao Yu didn't do anything to them at the time; it was just a friendly spar.
This is a very common occurrence in the martial arts world.
Even if there were some minor flaws in the process, Xiao Yu's glorious image completely overshadowed these flaws after he completely eradicated those 'immortals' who were harming the world.
Like other martial arts figures, Li Hanyi's impression of Xiao Yu also improved considerably.
Despite the involvement of Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, Li Hanyi still tried to maintain an objective and fair attitude when discussing these matters with Nangong Chunshui, and did not belittle Xiao Yu simply because he had injured the two men.
Nangong Chunshui compared her own observations of Xiao Yu with Li Hanyi's account of Xiao Yu, and finally came to a conclusion:
Xiao Yu, like Xiao Ruofeng, is a person who values loyalty and righteousness, has a broad vision, and is determined to protect the world.
It's just that Xiao Yu is more shrewd, more persistent and meticulous, and has a more assertive attitude.
Although Nangong Chunshui did not have much affection for the imperial court, he still held respect for those who were righteous and had lofty ideals.
Therefore, Nangong Chunshui's impression of Xiao Yu is not bad at present.
Even though Xiao Yu injured two of his disciples, the thought that it was for the sake of his other disciple dispelled his anger.
Xiao Ruofeng was always the disciple that Nangong Chunshui valued the most, was most proud of, and also the one he felt most sorry for.
If it weren't for Xiao Ruofeng, he probably wouldn't have accepted Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng.
Nangong Chunshui had long seen through Xiao Ruofeng's kindness and believed that he was not suited for the intrigues of the court, and hoped that he could roam freely in the martial world.
However, Xiao Ruofeng couldn't let go of his brother, nor could he let go of the turbulent situation in Beili at that time, so he ultimately chose to stay in the court.
Although Nangong Chunshui sighed at this, she was not angry. Instead, she did her best to help Xiao Ruofeng.
Even before heading to the northern border to guard it, he specifically left behind the Four Guardians of Apocalypse, wanting to protect his disciple as much as possible before he left.
He never expected that his most valued disciple would still die.
Nangong Chunshui was heartbroken by this.
When he learned from Li Hanyi that Xiao Ruofeng was taken to the execution ground, apart from Li Xinyue and Li Hanyi who wanted to help him, the other disciples didn't even glance at him. They didn't even go to help the seriously injured Li Xinyue afterwards, nor did they even offer a word of concern.
Such a cold and ruthless attitude made it hard for Nangong Chunshui not to feel disappointed in these disciples.
Upon hearing Nangong Chunshui's teasing, Xiao Yu's smile gradually faded, and he looked at him calmly, saying, "Sir, your learning is profound, but it's a pity you're not suited for the Jixia Academy, after all, the disciples you've taught..."
Halfway through his sentence, Xiao Yu suddenly paused, a surge of anger rising within him.
In the end, he couldn't resist his impulse and beat up Nangong Chunshui as well.
