When he noticed the slight change in the expressions on their faces, Ren Tianxiong understood that everyone who cultivated seemed to have known about Lingyin College.

“Since everyone knows about Lingyin College, I will not spend more time on introducing it.

“In our region there are three major colleges, amongst which the Lingyin College has the best reputation and it is also the strongest. Our college usually contend against the Beihai College.

“However, in recent years, it turns out that Beihai College has taken refuge under the wing of Lingyin College, therefore their relations.h.i.+p is very good. And we, Canglan College, we are slightly inferior.”

Ren Tianxiong said with a heavy voice.

When the three colleges were founded the three colleges were all equal, there was no big difference between them.

Ren Tianxiong was the Princ.i.p.al of Canglan College, and he was feeling guilty and sad that the college had been reduced to such a state.

“I heard that the reason Lingyin College has the reputation it has today is because it has been connected to the Qing Dynasty. With the support of the Qing Dynasty the equipment and so on has been greatly improved, so it is no wonder that it has been growing stronger and stronger.”

Gong Shaoqing’s eyes flashed with enlightenment, not only Lingyin College, but now also Beihai ollge had begun to accept the sponsors.h.i.+p of the Qing Dynasty. The only college that was keeping a distance was the Canglan College.

This is also the reason why their college is at the bottom of the three colleges.

If the Canglan college also accepted the help and sponsors.h.i.+p of the Qing Dynasty, then the strength of the college would be improved.

Ren Tianxiong signed, “The three colleges were created for the sake of cultivating talents and remaining neutral. This was the idea of the first princ.i.p.al of our college.

“For this reason, I have always adhered to the beliefs of our first princ.i.p.al.

“When the Lingyin College first brought up the idea of working together with the Qing Dynasty, I was against it, but now everyone is eager to improve and has forgotten the original purpose.”

Ren Tianxiong’s face was slightly pale, the vicissitudes of life could be seen in his brightly s.h.i.+ning eyes, as if he was thinking of a distant past.

When the crowd saw their princ.i.p.al looking like this, they too felt a little heavy at heart.

Thinking about the things that the princ.i.p.al had just said about the Lingyin College, the eyes of Baili Hongzhuang flashed slightly and she had already guessed what this was about.

Ren Tianxiong was always able to continue insisting on following the original purpose of the first princ.i.p.al. This was something that was not easy to do, and it could be seen that he was not just a profiteer who tried to earn easily.

The Lingyin College is more practical. If the college was independent then there was no bond that bound the cultivator. The college would support the geniuses in doing what they wished for after finis.h.i.+ng their time at the college.

Because the school was originally established to help talented young cultivators, they would let the geniuses decide for themselves, however now that the Lingyin College had gone under the banner of the Qing Dynasty, people who studied at the Lingyin College would be expected to join the Qing Dynasty upon finis.h.i.+ng their studies.

In this situation, she could not say who was right, but she respected Ren Tianxiong for being able to stick with the original purpose of the Canglan College.

“This is not the most important,” Ren Tianxiong waved his hand, “The three colleges have always had a tournament. It used to be once every five years, but this time it was moved ahead of schedule.”
