Qiheng laughed and said: How interesting, I want to meet this teacher then.

How can a teacher like him compare to you, Teacher. Freesky replied: Hes a firefly while youre the sun. Otherwise, why would he be sent to Study Room?

Study Room? Qiheng didnt expect this at all.

Yes. Rumination continued: Some students thought that he only became a teacher due to connections. Otherwise, why would the academy send him to Study Room with only three students? Plus, they go to Hundred Halls for lectures anyway. The academy is probably afraid of him misteaching the students.

No. Qiheng shook his head and said: You two are looking down on Study Room too much. Everyone knows that it is a place of idle but thats just on the surface. Its not that simple but rather a place of mysteries and grand creations. Its not that easy to stay there.

A place of grand creations? The two of them found this unbelievable.

All students knew that Study Room only contained random books and scrolls so the majority wanted no part of it.

Indeed, an amazing place for fortunes. Qiheng nodded and stated.

Such as? Freesky was full of curiosity.

Hard to say, even the teachers know very little about it. Only the ancestors that dont come out truly know the mysteries of that place. Qiheng revealed.

No wonder why some seniors said that you have read many books and have a wealth of knowledge. Rumination praised.

Qiheng smiled in response: However, this Teacher Li sounds quite interesting. I want to meet him.

The two youths became excited right away and glanced at each other. Freesky continued: Teacher, Teacher Li is very close to Teacher Qianxuan and maybe some ancestors in the academy. Looks like his backing is very strong so you should avoid fighting with him lest others misunderstand.

Freesky chose his words very carefully. Due to his close relationship with Qiheng, he knew that Qiheng was interested in Qianxuan so he wanted to egg the guy on.

Qiheng was as nonchalant as ever and spoke naturally: Myriad paths towards the dao with waves rising in the world; in order to truly become someone, one must rely on themselves. I have wined and dined with the emperors and talked about the dao with them, but this is superficial at best. Being friends with everyone or coming from an imperial lineage, thats only a small advantage in the end. The key to success is to make yourself invincible.

Spoken in a simple manner yet the content was anything but. Listeners would be shaken to hear this.

Interacting on the same level as the emperors? That was the apex of life - how many people could actually reach this stage? The majority could only look up and bow at the emperors but Qiheng could stand on the same level as them.

Of course, Freesky and Rumination didnt think that Qiheng was tooting his horn. As a brilliant High God, he was indeed qualified to be associated with the emperors.

We juniors are in awe of your accomplishments, Teacher. Rumination quickly said.

Alright, I know what you two are trying to do. Qiheng smiled: I want to see Teacher Li not because of your feud but a talent like that brighten my eyes and invokes my will to compete. As for your flattery and schemes, go ahead and take it back. Stop believing that youre strong enough to challenge anyone.

Thank you for your guidance teacher, we were wrong. The two quickly bowed happily.

We will simply be talking about the dao and teaching methods, thats it. The two of you are essentially my students, so I will stand up for you this time. As for your previous feud or perception of being bullied before, let it go, only blame yourselves for being incapable. Lose hope of me actually fighting him.

We dont dare to. The two of them forced a smile, not daring to say anything else. After all, Qiheng has agreed to go gain some justice for them. This was already too much to ask.

You two need to change your mentality, do not be arrogant all day long and care for the attention of others. The road ahead is not easy, you might not even be able to graduate. Qiheng said.

Teacher, you mean we can be expelled? Rumination was surprised.

Qiheng shook his head: Not that, but the academy might be in trouble soon.

Impossible. Rumination jumped after hearing this.

Freesky slightly batted his eyes and had to ask: Teacher, so the rumors are real?

As the successor of a lineage with five monarchs and being a High God himself, Freesky knew more than Rumination.

No one can truly tell. Qiheng said: But just be mentally prepared and think about your future. How far you can go will be up to yourself.

The two youths glanced at each other. Rumination couldnt understand Qihengs intent: Teacher, what do you mean?

Qiheng smiled again: The emperors will come out and so will a feast. Whether the two of you are lucky enough or not, thats up to you.

Please show us the way. Rumination bowed his head and asked after calming down.

Qiheng didnt answer, still with a smile
