Chapter 1705 The Conflict Escalated (2)

Seeing Du He's furious look, one of the female teachers comforted him, "Dean, don't worry, we definitely won't leave."

The other four people also expressed the same att.i.tude.

"That's right, Dean. No matter what happens, we'll stay and tide over the difficulties with the Martial Arts Department."

"Dean, just tell us what you need us to do. We'll definitely do our best."

"Dean, what you need the most right now is calmness. If we go head-to-head with the Alchemist Inst.i.tute and the Weapons Refinement Department, the Martial Arts Department will definitely suffer."

"That's right, Dean. You're our leader. We'll listen to you."

Hearing that, Du He took a deep breath and the anger in his heart subsided a bit.

"It's been hard on you."

Du He sat down again and sighed heavily.

The female instructor shook her head and said, "We're all instructors of the Martial Arts Department. Now that the Martial Arts Department is in trouble, we naturally have to advance and retreat together."

"That's right, Dean. As long as we're united, there's nothing we can't get through." A frailer-looking mentor said firmly.

Du He glanced at the five of them and a hint of relief flashed through his eyes.

Even though he understood that those mentors who left were protecting themselves.

However, understanding was one thing. He still felt very uncomfortable about those people leaving without saying anything when the Martial Arts Department was at its most difficult.

But no matter what, the Martial Arts Department would definitely not compromise!

After thinking for a while, Du He still didn't think of a way to solve his current predicament, so he planned to see how Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan were doing.

So, the six of them went to the back mountain of the Martial Arts Department.

In the back mountain of the Martial Arts Department.

"At this point, I wonder if it will alarm the dean of Hongtian Academy," Xu Qi spoke as he dealt with the materials in his hand.

"The Dean is in seclusion and won't come out easily." Lu Yizhe frowned and replied.

"What about the Deputy Dean? Will he care?" Xu Qi asked again.

Lu Yizhe shook his head. "I don't know, but as far as I know, the Dean of the Alchemy Department and the Dean of the Weapons Refinement Department don't have much respect for the Deputy Dean."

Xu Qi couldn't help but purse his lips and mutter, "The Dean of the Alchemy Department and the Dean of the Weapons Refinement Department are quite arrogant. Even the Deputy Dean can't suppress them."

Lu Yifeng stopped processing the materials for a moment before returning to normal. "This is the huge difference between a cultivator and a techniques master. The appeal of a techniques master is extremely terrifying."

Just like the Lu family, the Lu family was an alchemist family, so they had extremely high prestige in Hongtian City and even showed signs of being the leader of the four largest families.

Unfortunately, neither he nor his brother had a wood or fire spirit root, so they couldn't become respected alchemists at all.

On the other hand, their sister had a wood spirit root and could become an alchemist.

However, his sister wasn't very talented in alchemy. She was only a middle-level Yellow Grade alchemist.

"Then, if the Dean doesn't come out of seclusion, won't our Martial Arts Department be finished?" Xu Qi looked like he was about to break down unacceptably.

Xu Xiu raised his hand and slapped the back of his brother's head. "Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Qi held the back of his head that was slapped and muttered in dissatisfaction, "That's true!"

Xu Xiu glanced over warningly and Xu Qi immediately shut his mouth.

Lu Yifeng looked at the interaction between the two brothers in amus.e.m.e.nt and said, "Fortunately, the Inscription Department, the Arrays Department, and the Talisman Department aren't hostile to the Martial Arts Department. They even took the initiative to ask us to go to their departments directly to exchange for what we need."
