Chapter 1327: It Isn’t Like We Don’t Have a Solution

Huh?
Li Qinghe and everyone else present were astounded. Even Li Xuanqi wore a startled look as he thought,
Would this descendant of the ancestors make trouble once again out of nothing?

HUMPH! Xu Que snorted coldly and denounced the crowd sternly,
Even though I’m already a Deputy Dean, I still hope that you won’t give my son, Xu Que, any special treatment. I won’t approve of any extravagant and wasteful welcoming ceremony. We should despise such actions.

Since we have built an academy, we must focus on educating people and setting them on the right path. We mustn’t provide anyone special treatment, and we must walk with the crowd… No, that isn’t right, we must walk along with students and live harmoniously with them. We must keep fair and just education ideals. We mustn’t divide students into several grades. Don’t you realize that a good education program takes a long time to develop?

In an instant, the whole location descended into silence. Everyone here was confused by Xu Que’s long sermon.
Even though the people here were all experienced men who had cultivated for innumerable years, they were still bewildered by Xu Que’s ceaseless speeches, and they all felt that Xu Que must be a great teacher.



Li Xuanqi, you were previously a disciple of the Heaven Palace Sect, so you know the Heaven Palace’s Inner Sanctum rules, don’t you?
At this moment, Xu Que swept Li Xuanqi with his gaze.
Li Xuanqi was startled and he thought,
What the hll, I was previously only an Outer Sanctum disciple.


That is right, it’s right! Brother Xu isn’t mistaken. So did you all hear him clearly?
Li Xuanqi spoke to Li Qinghe and the other people.

I understood it thoroughly,
Li Qinghe replied helplessly.
As the crowd started pondering over what Xu Que had said, they discovered that his teachings were really reasonable.
Most of the resources of the current Heaven Palace Academy were used on their own people, while the rest of the disciples had to depend upon the factions supporting them and cultivate with their own resources. This was why what he said made sense. The cultivation of some poor disciples who lacked resources was slow due to this, and their peerless talents were wasted.
If the previous Heaven Palace Sect had really operated according to the Sanctum Rules mentioned by Elder Xu, then it wasn’t surprising that it developed well and became powerful. This could have been one of the factors behind its great power.
The crowd understood everything, and they nodded, while respect welled up in their hearts. Since Elder Xu had such a side to him, they could set their minds at ease. After all, he had done everything just for the Heaven Palace Academy’s interests, while he even set an example with himself, and forbade the academy from providing his son any special treatment. Just such a matter alone was quite persuasive!

Elder Xu, you can be at ease, we have understood what you are saying,
in the end, Li Qinghe spoke with a smile.

Okay, it’s fine as long as you understand it.
Xu Que nodded with satisfaction, before he continued,
However, I also understand your kind respect for my son. So when he arrives, even though you don’t have to make any extravagant and wasteful welcoming ceremony, you can still give him some Celestial Artifacts or Immortal Elixirs. I won’t oppose such a matter, and I will also bear your gifts in mind, and, when the time comes, I will announce your gifts in front of everyone in the academy to express my thanks to you.




Huh?
The crowd immediately opened their eyes wide.

Sending gifts?


You have asked to not make any welcoming ceremony, yet you still want to take gifts?


What? I have to warn you that you mustn’t offer him precious gifts. It’s fine to just give some little gifts. It isn’t the gift that counts, but the thought behind it. You probably can understand such an argument, can’t you?
Xu Que looked so innocent and spoke righteously.
At this moment, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that they just had to send some small gifts as a formality. If it was just this, it was still fine.
SIGH!
However, I’m still worried that you will make a mistake and send some precious gifts. If you do so, I will be troubled. However, you should still trust me, as even if you don’t offer any precious gifts, I won’t make trouble for you later in the academy, and I won’t put poison in your elixir bottles, while I also won’t throw hidden weapons at you while you cultivate. Will I do so? I won’t do it. It’s impossible. You can set your minds at ease, as I’m surely not that kind of person.

Xu Que started giving the crowd suggestions and hints crazily.
Cold sweat started seeping out of the people’s bodies, while they all looked at Li Xuanqi with an aggrieved look, thinking,
Ancestor, are you sure that you want to place such a person in the Heaven Palace Academy and let him become the Deputy Dean?

At this time, Li Xuanqi had a headache, and he suddenly started regretting his actions. He started wondering whether his choice had been a mistake. However, when Li Xuanqi looked at the two ancestors’ souls standing behind Xu Que, his hesitation disappeared completely.
Those two powerful souls were the reason why he had to ignore what Xu Que had done previously and why he had to tolerate Xu Que repeatedly while in front of his descendants. If those two souls didn’t exist, Li Xuanqi wouldn’t have wasted his breath on Xu Que, and he would have slapped him to death long ago.


Moreover, Xu Que still hadn’t made any outrageous demands, and he just seemed unreliable and rascally. But even if that had been the case, it didn’t matter, as what they needed to worry about wasn’t Xu Que, but the two ancestors’ souls.
….
In the end, Xu Que took Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the rest of his group with him and left in front of the crowd’s aggrieved gazes. He walked out of the tomb room with swagger and proceeded toward the exit.
Since Xu Que had already become the Heaven Palace Academy’s Deputy Dean, he didn’t have any more to worry about, and he calmly left through the ancestral tomb’s main entrance. He wanted to go visit Jiang Hongyan on the way.
Li Qinghe had given Xu Que the Deputy Dean’s badge personally, and it would help Xu Que make his way through the Heaven Palace Academy. The people of this world would get to find out that the Heaven Palace Academy had gotten another Deputy Dean only after the end of the ancestral sacrifices’ ceremony.
Xu Que felt as if he had gotten a change of fortune and even that he could become this land’s master, and he was thinking wild thoughts,
Since he was followed by two awesome souls, who would dare to provoke him?

However, just as the group took a step out of the ancestral tomb, a fog started rising from the two souls, and they started disappearing at a high speed.

Fck! Kiddo, quickly go back,
Buttface cried out in alarm and dragged Xu Que back into the ancestral tomb.
As for the two souls, they followed Xu Que inside blankly, and, after they had done so, they recovered to their normal forms.
Xu Que frowned and tried to stay calm.


He could obviously understand the current situation, as it was similar to Li Xuanqi’s situation. Those two souls weren’t able to leave the ancestral tomb.
In a certain sense, it could be said that the two souls and Li Xuanqi were beings who weren’t tolerated by the Heaven Way. They had already exhausted their life spans, and they were supposed to die. However, they had violated the Heaven Way’s rules and still survived until today. The ancestral tomb possessed a concealment function, and it covered them from most of the Heaven Way’s rules. Those souls remained in good condition only due to this.
However, once they left the ancestral tomb, the Heaven Way’s rules would descend upon them, and everything that should return to dust would return to dust. Everything that shouldn’t be left behind would dissipate along with the wind.

Fck! We have made so many plans. So who could have imagined that they unexpectedly couldn’t come out! What should we do?
Buttface spoke angrily.
Buttface coveted such powerful bodyguards greatly, but now that he couldn’t take them out, how could he still do whatever he wanted?

As a matter of fact, I think that leaving them here isn’t so bad for us. After all, Li Xuanqi is also here, and he can be considered a hostage in our hands. The Heaven Palace Academy’s members surely wouldn’t dare to mess with us,
Duan Jiude stroked his chin and spoke.
Xu Que chuckled bitterly and shook his head.
You hope that they can stay here, but it’s up to them to stay here.

Duan Jiude was right, if they didn’t have a better choice, leaving the two souls in the ancestral tomb wasn’t bad for them.
But the issue was that the two souls treated Xu Que as their child, and they followed him everywhere. When Xu Que took a step out of the ancestral tomb, the two souls started disappearing, but they didn’t care about that and stood blankly next to Xu Que.
It was impossible for Xu Que to leave the souls here unless he also stayed here or replaced himself with Xuanyuan Wanrong’s remnant soul and let her also stay here.


Neither option was feasible. Xu Que couldn’t stay here, while he also wasn’t able to take out Xuanyuan Wanrong’s remnant soul. After all, the remnant soul had fallen asleep, and it would only awaken after the arrival of her main body.

Lad, why don’t you stay here? I will go out, and do whatever I want in your stead,
Buttface looked at Xu Que, winked at him, and spoke.

Get lost!
Xu Que gave a brief reply.

As a matter of fact…
At this moment, Liu Jingning, who had stood next to them wearing a pensive look, spoke suddenly,
It isn’t like we don’t have a way to leave safely without taking them with us.
