Lu Ping's simple and unpretentious words, coupled with his confident attitude, caused the teachers and students of Zhai Feng Academy to look at him in a different light for the first time. They actually approved of him. Even when he shockingly destroyed the Tower of Soul of Canyon Peak Academy in the examination of the two academies, everyone still looked at him with surprise and doubt.
At this moment, the Zhai Feng Academy had been rebuilt, and everyone was once again standing in the center of the limelight. When they heard Lu Ping say that he would surpass the Four Greats, which had been taken as a joke by everyone, their impression of Lu Ping changed greatly.
This wasn't because everyone believed that he could surpass the Big Four, but because everyone felt Lu Ping's sincere feelings for Zhenfeng College. Whether or not he could surpass the Big Four wasn't the point. The point was that Lu Ping was serious about making Zhenfeng College better.
Fang Yizhu noticed the subtle change in everyone's attitude towards Lu Ping. He didn't miss the opportunity to stand up and say, "President Guo is no longer here, so we need a new dean."
Saying this, he slightly turned towards Lu Ping. His meaning couldn't be clearer.
"Zhenfeng College can be rebuilt because of Lu Ping's strength. So this dean must be him, and only him. In the future, Zhenfeng College may encounter many difficulties. Today, I gathered everyone here to give everyone an explanation. I want to ask everyone if they are willing to stand with Zhenfeng College through thick and thin. "Fang Yizhu said.
After he said this, the crowd became restless. A student standing at the front couldn't help but ask, "What does Senior Brother Fang mean? Is he referring to the possibility of conflict with the City Lord's office or the College Council? "
"This possibility can't be ruled out." Fang Yizhu said.
The crowd became even more restless. Conflict with the City Lord's office and the College Council was basically a conflict with the Black Army Empire. Not to mention Zhenfeng College, even the Big Four Academies would do their best to prevent this from happening. Wouldn't such a Zhenfeng College be no different from the rebellious Nightingale Organization? This was not something that ordinary teachers and students wanted to see.
Most people joined the academy in order to find a better future. Many people yearned to serve the Empire and enter the ruling class through bold actions. But now, Zhenfeng College might actually come into conflict with the Empire, or rather, go against it. This had gone against the original intention of joining the college. Fang Yizhu was also very clear about this point, so after the teachers and students of Zhenfeng College had more or less reunited, he pointed this out to everyone.
"Without Zhenfeng College, I know that all of you have suffered a lot, and your lives have not been satisfactory. However, the rebuilt Zhenfeng College might not be as peaceful and beautiful as it was in the past. Whether you are willing to accept such a Zhenfeng College, please consider for yourselves. "Fang Yizhu said.
"Why is this happening?" An academy mentor stood up and asked, "Since the Empire is willing to restore the academy, why is there still such a hidden danger?"
"Because the Empire is not willing, but forced by Lu Ping's strength. Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. "Fang Yizhu said.
Forced by Lu Ping's strength?
This time, everyone was stunned. Lu Ping was not the same as before, everyone could naturally see this. However, with just the strength of a single person, he was able to force the Xuan Army Empire to take a step back. What kind of strength was this?
"That's why I said, the dean can only be, and must be Lu Ping." Fang Yizhu looked at the dumbfounded crowd and said.
"I will do my best to protect the academy." Lu Ping said.
"But … this is going against the Empire …"
"That's right, Lu Ping, you may be very strong, but aren't we too insignificant? How dare we go against the Empire? "
"Zhenfeng College was originally fine, why is it being targeted by the City Lord's Mansion and the Academy Commission?"
Discussions arose, everyone's faces were filled with worry. This kind of Zhenfeng College obviously made everyone feel very uneasy.
"You don't need to ask so many questions." Fang Yizhu's attitude was unexpectedly firm, "Everyone only needs to know two things. First, it's not that we want to go against the Xuan Army Empire, it's that they are using their power to oppress us and target us. Second, the choice to go or stay is in everyone's hands. I'm telling everyone this today so that you can consider it for yourselves."
The discussions didn't stop because of Fang Yizhu's words, everyone really started to consider this situation. Lu Ping and Su Tang looked at each other, somewhat disappointed. Zhenfeng College meant different things to everyone. Fang Yizhu said that he found his goal and ambition here. To Lu Ping and Su Tang, this was a place where they could finally live a peaceful and happy life after escaping from the organization. But to most people, a low-end college like Zhenfeng College was just a place for them to advance, their sense of belonging wouldn't stop here. If the college was doing well, everyone was doing well; if the college wasn't doing well, then everyone would fly away on their own.
So even though Lu Ping and the others came all the way back to Canyon Peak City to rebuild the college, they didn't want to give up everyone in the college. But the reality was that Zhenfeng College would probably be abandoned first under this kind of background.
Out of the hundreds of teachers and students in front of them, how many of them would be willing to stay in the end? Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, Lu Ping and Su Tang felt very regretful.
"Cough …" At this moment, someone walked out of the crowd and coughed.
"Teacher Lu." Lu Ping, Su Tang, and Fang Yizhu all recognized this person and called out.
"I'll stay." Teacher Lu said plainly and concisely. Teacher Lu's surname was Lu Qing. On the first day he came to Zhenfeng College, he was already over a hundred years old. But few people would associate the word 'virtuous and respectable' with him. In the eyes of the teachers and students of Zhenfeng College, Lu Qing wasn't senile, but he didn't have much wisdom either. Over a hundred years of cultivation, he didn't have any thrilling experiences. He was a very mediocre and unremarkable person.
But at this moment, he was the first to stand out.
"I've been in Zhenfeng College for more than 20 years, and I feel the most secure here." Lu Qing said, then he looked at Fang Yizhu, Lu Ping, Su Tang, and even Morin, who had only been in Zhenfeng College for a month.
"You've all done well. It's really good that you still want to come back and rebuild the college." Lu Qing said with a gratified expression, then turned around and looked at the hundreds of teachers and students behind him.
"So why do you think the dean recommended Fang Yizhu to go to one of the four colleges? Why did the dean let Lu Ping and Su Tang represent Zhenfeng College to participate in the soul gathering? "
