On the sixth floor of the Zhai Feng Tower, in the principal's office.
Zi Mu held a cup of tea that Lu Ping had poured for him, and without even taking two sips, he had already explained the purpose of his visit. At about the same time, the four hundred and forty-two academies on the continent, the centers of the three great empires, had all received a joint summons from the four great academies.
A crusade against the Dark Academy.
Xu Lixue had already told Lu Ping about this back at the Merry Forest, so Lu Ping was not surprised to hear it. He nodded and started reminiscing with Zi Mu. But the other four hundred or so academies who received the news were all confused.
The Dark Academy had already been chased out of the borders a thousand years ago. Although they had not been eradicated, and some factions would occasionally show themselves within the borders, they had never posed any serious threat, and did not need the attention of the four great academies. But now, the four great academies had suddenly called for a crusade against the Dark Academy, and to completely destroy its power. What was going on?
The summons did not go into detail, and only described the dangers of the Dark Academy. But the problem was that the Dark Academy had been around for a thousand years, and the summons from the four great academies sounded more like alarmist talk.
This reason was not very convincing, but the problem was that the four great academies were the initiators, and none of the academies would think of rejecting it. They were only thinking about how and how much effort to put in.
As for the centers of the three great empires, they were like a few other academies. Because they had been invited to the Seven Star Examination, they were clear about the disaster. Especially the Green Peak Empire. They were especially proactive on this matter, and immediately responded.
Such a summons to the heroes of the world was naturally not a secret. Soon, even the most remote mountainous region like the Gorge Peak District had heard of it. The Gorge Peak Academy had also received the summons, and Principal Ba Liyan was also worried about how to respond. Unfortunately, there were only two academies in the entire Gorge Peak District, and Ba Liyan did not even have a friendly academy to discuss with. In the end, he could only brace himself and pay a visit to Zhenfeng College.
The current principal of Zhenfeng College was Lu Ping. This news had already spread, and Ba Liyan was already aware of it. But when he arrived at the Headmaster's Office in the Zhai Feng Tower and sat across from Lu Ping, he still felt as if a lifetime had passed. Just a year ago, the young man in front of him was still a member of the examination for the two academies. A year later, he was already the head of an academy and was on equal footing with him. Furthermore, he was the one who came to visit him …
Thinking up to this point, Ba Liyan immediately put on the appearance of someone who was paying a visit. He said with a face full of smiles, "Dean Lu is really young and promising. Not to mention Zhenfeng College, even if we add up all the colleges in the world for thousands of years, Dean Lu is the youngest one. You are unprecedented!"
The moment Ba Li Yan opened his mouth, he flattered Lu Ping, but Lu Ping only smiled politely, obviously not taking Ba Li Yan's flattery to heart. He spoke very directly, "Dean Ba, what brings you here?"
"Dean Lu, you're a straightforward person!" Ba Liyan flattered him again, then said, "I wonder if Dean Lu has received the joint call from the four academies?"
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"I'm here today to discuss with Dean Lu how we should participate in this invitation. There are only two academies in the Canyon Peak District, and we can be said to be on the same side. "Ba Li Yan blushed when he said this. The Canyon Peak District was originally dominated by the Canyon Peak District, but Zhenfeng College suddenly squeezed in, and the Canyon Peak District had never been treated favorably. Saying that they were on the same side was purely binding, and Ba Li Yan had to stop to calm himself down. He then continued, "That's why I'm here to visit Dean Lu, to hear your plan."
"Oh, let's go," said Lu Ping.
Let's go?
Ba Li Yan didn't want to know such a careless answer, so he continued to ask, "Oh? Then how many people from Zhenfeng College are going to go? Do you need to bring anything else? "
From Ba Li Yan's point of view, with the four academies taking the lead, the three empires, and all the other academies in the world responding, a mediocre academy like Canyon Peak wouldn't be of much use in such a large group. In the end, they would just have to do some odd jobs. So, should they bring more rations for everyone? It was bitter cold outside the Great Wall, so should they prepare more clothes for people to use? In this regard, providing some real money could be considered as providing some real help.
"Oh, not yet," replied Lu Ping honestly, "I think only a few people will go, it won't help even if there are too many!"
"Is … is that okay?" Ba Li Yan was stunned. He knew that Lu Ping was very powerful, and the entire Wei Family of Canyon Peak had fallen to such a state because of him. However, Ba Liyan knew how powerful the Gorge Peak District was. With the help of the four academies and three empires, Ba Li Yan didn't expect Lu Ping's strength to be above these elites. He only thought that Zhenfeng College's situation was the same as Canyon Peak Academy's. They might have a few people who could fight, but they weren't enough in such a big situation. So, he had to think of other ways to deal with them. Unexpectedly, Lu Ping only wanted to send a few people as a gesture?
"Dark Academy's situation is complicated, and Lu Chenfeng is overseeing it. Normal people wouldn't be able to do much," said Lu Ping.
"Lu … Lu Chenfeng? The Lu Chenfeng with his five spirits connected? "Ba Li Yan thought he heard wrong.
"Yes, most people still don't know that Lu Chenfeng has already betrayed Big Dipper and gone to Dark Academy," said Lu Ping.
"So this crusade is against Lu Chenfeng? Are the four academies afraid that he will strengthen Dark Academy's power? "Ba Li Yan thought about it and suddenly understood. Obviously, this was the only plausible reason. What did Dark Academy bring disaster to the world, and the remaining evil had yet to be eliminated? Everyone just listened and let it go. How big of a deal was that? The remaining evil had yet to be eliminated, and everyone wouldn't be able to live peacefully for the next thousand years. During this period of time, the clans were rising, and the empires were vying for supremacy. Even in this chaotic world, Dark Academy wasn't able to escape from any trouble. Everyone had long since stopped treating them as the number one threat.
However, Lu Chenfeng … … one of the six great experts had joined Dark Academy!
Ba Li Yan nodded his head repeatedly, as if he understood everything.
Lu Ping didn't explain any further at this time. The matter of the Thousand Pine Ruler was extremely secretive. When Xu Lixue had told him about it, she had solemnly added a soundproof barrier when no one was listening. Lu Ping had seen all of this. Even if Xu Lixue didn't tell him not to tell anyone, he had a sense of propriety and didn't rashly mention it to others. Of course, he wouldn't say it to Ba Li Yan now.
"That's why I'm saying that Canyon Peak Academy's strength isn't much help." Lu Ping followed Ba Li Yan's guess and said what he wanted to say.
Ba Li Yan didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable when he heard this. That was Lu Chenfeng, one of the six strongest people in the world. What was Canyon Peak Academy to him? The 442 academies on the Continental Academy Ranking were nothing but ants in front of Lu Chenfeng. Only the Four Great Academies or the Three Great Empires might be able to fight him.
"I see." Ba Li Yan nodded his head. "We can't help much. Canyon Peak Academy can only do what we can."
"Yes." Lu Ping also nodded his head.
"Then we won't disturb Principal Lu any further." Ba Li Yan immediately stood up. This information was enough for him. He would naturally make the most appropriate arrangements. As for Zhenfeng Academy, Ba Li Yan didn't really care what they would do. It was better for all the academies to do this perfunctorily! At that time, although Canyon Peak Academy didn't have the strength, it would at least show that they were diligent. Wouldn't that make them look good?
While thinking this delightfully, Ba Li Yan walked towards the door. At this moment, there was a knock on the principal's door.
"Come in." Lu Ping, who was behind Ba Li Yan, responded.
The door was pushed open. When Ba Li Yan, who was walking out, saw the person, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately moved to the side. The person glanced at him and politely greeted him, but his tone sounded a little uncertain. "Canyon Peak Academy's Principal Ba?"
"Yes, greetings, City Lord!" Ba Li Yan's waist was almost touching the ground. Ever since the Canyon Peak District's City Lord changed, he had always wanted to pay a visit, but never had the opportunity. He didn't expect to meet him here. He couldn't help but look deeply at Lu Ping.
The City Lord that he had always wanted to pay a visit to, but never had the chance, came to Zhenfeng Academy the moment he took office. Now, he even personally came to the principal's room and even knocked on the door?
This Lu Ping … Should I give him a higher evaluation?
Ba Li Yan stood there pondering. It was Draconis who reminded him. "Principal Ba, are you leaving? Please go ahead. "
"Oh, goodbye, City Lord." Ba Li Yan bowed and carefully closed the door. Through the crack of the door, he saw Lu Ping facing the Canyon Peak City Lord. Lu Ping's expression was the same as when he saw Ba Li Yan. Then, he heard Lu Ping speak.
"What brings you here, City Lord?" Lu Ping asked.
Not only were their expressions the same, but their opening words were also exactly the same.
