Ba Li Yan didn't dare eavesdrop on the conversation between Lu Ping and City Lord Draconis, and left in a hurry after overhearing the opening. In the dean's office, Draconis sat on the seat Ba Li Yan had just sat on, and looked at Lu Ping.
"Did Zhenfeng College receive the invitation to crusade against Dark Academy?" Draconis didn't beat around the bush like Ba Li Yan, and got straight to the point after sitting down.
"Yes."
"Are you going?" Draconis asked.
"I should be going." Lu Ping said.
"Then what about Zhenfeng College?" Draconis asked again.
"You haven't thought about it?" Lu Ping asked.
"Why should I?" Draconis said.
"We've discussed it, and we think you'll be more troubled." Lu Ping said.
Draconis's face was cold, but it didn't last more than half a minute. Seeing Lu Ping's calm expression, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Fine, I admit, I'm more troubled about this."
"Teacher Chu Min really understands you." Lu Ping smiled.
"Do you think our past friendship was fake?" Draconis said.
"So, have you thought of any good ideas?" Lu Ping said.
"No."
"Then why did you come today?" Lu Ping asked.
"First to confirm, what if you don't want to go? Then wouldn't I not be troubled? "Draconis said.
"The possibility isn't high." Lu Ping said.
"So troublesome, why am I so unlucky?" Draconis got up, and madly paced around the dean's office to vent his frustrations, while Lu Ping quietly watched from the side, not saying a word. What was Draconis so troubled about? As he had said before, they had already guessed it after discussing it.
Lu Ping's strength was their foundation, but if Lu Ping were to leave Zhenfeng College for a period of time, no one could guarantee that the Xuan Army Empire would not take this opportunity to plot against them. Draconis was in charge of the Canyon Peak District, if the Xuan Army Empire really wanted to make a move, he would definitely be the vanguard. However, the problem was that Lu Ping had only left for a while, not died. When he returned in the future, one could imagine what kind of crazy revenge he would unleash. At that time, Draconis would bear the brunt of it, and it was even possible that he would be thrown out as a scapegoat by the Empire. How could he not be annoyed? He knew that coming to the Gorge Peak District wasn't a good thing, but he didn't expect the disaster to come so soon. He had just gotten rid of the annoying Wei Family, and now the four academies had issued a joint summons. It was as if they were targeting him.
After pacing back and forth in the room for who knew how many times, Draconis finally stopped.
"Is it possible that we can come to some kind of agreement, where you can just ignore Zhenfeng College, and I can guarantee you a meteoric rise in the future?" Draconis said.
"Impossible." Lu Ping said.
"Just asking, let me think about it." Draconis began to pace again.
"Will it take a long time? If it's long, you can think about it first. I'll go do something. "Lu Ping said.
"You're clearly concerned about the survival of Zhenfeng College, can't you think of something?" Draconis said.
"I really can't think of anything." Lu Ping said awkwardly, "I can only threaten you like this."
"Hahaha, you know it's a threat too?" Draconis laughed so hard that he looked like he was crying.
"What else could it be?" Lu Ping said.
"Then you haven't realized that this is a big threat to you. If you leave, everyone here will die. Have you thought about it?" Draconis said.
"Then you'll also die. That's what I think." Lu Ping said.
"You little brat … …" Draconis was angry. Ever since he stepped onto the official path in the Xuan Army Empire, it could be said that he had a meteoric rise. He had never encountered such a thorny problem. The other party clearly didn't want to reason with him, and wanted to see who had the bigger fist. And this, just happened to grab Draconis's weak point.
"This is all Chu Min's idea!" Draconis said.
"Yes." Lu Ping admitted. He was so calm right now, not because he didn't care about the safety of Zhenfeng College, but because Chu Min was sure that Draconis would compromise.
"Teacher Chu Min said that you are the kind of person who would sacrifice a million people without hesitation if you had to choose between yourself and a million lives. So, whether it is the safety of Zhenfeng College or the death order of the Xuan Army, it is nothing compared to the threat of death you will face in the future. In order to live, you can compromise. "Lu Ping said.
"She knows so clearly, but she only knows how to talk nonsense. I haven't seen her come up with any ideas!" Draconis said unhappily.
"Teacher Chu Min also said that you are smarter, more worldly, more powerful, and more shameless than her. So, you should think of a way yourself." Lu Ping said.
"Alright, it's not like there's no way, but I need your cooperation." Draconis sighed.
"Speak." Lu Ping smiled.
"What are you smiling about?" Draconis was very dissatisfied with Lu Ping's strange smile.
"Because Teacher Chu Min said … …"
"Alright, alright, I don't want to hear what she said anymore." Draconis interrupted Lu Ping. "My method is very simple. You just need to announce to the outside that you won't participate in the subjugation."
"Oh, let the Xuan Army Empire think that I am still in Zhenfeng College." Lu Ping said.
"Yes." Draconis nodded.
"That's very simple! Just say that you won't go on the surface, but you will still go. "Lu Ping said.
"It's not as simple as you think. The Xuan Army Empire is such a large country, your pretense must be very real. Other than yourself, no one will know that you are going. This is the best way. "Draconis said.
"You won't even tell North Style Academy?" Lu Ping said.
"It's best not to." Draconis said. "If possible, I hope that other than the people in this room, no one else will know. Of course, I know that this is not possible. You shouldn't be going alone right? That's why people in the same line will know. But other than that, the less people know, the better. Once the news is leaked and the Xuan Army Empire learns of it, they will harm Zhenfeng College. Even if I refuse to carry out the mission, I won't have the ability to stop them. "
"But when I participate in the subjugation, I will still be exposed!" Lu Ping said.
"Why will you definitely be exposed? Can't you change your appearance and clothing? Is that very difficult? "Draconis said.
"No, so I don't know if it will be difficult or not." Lu Ping said.
"I can arrange this." Draconis said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Lu Ping said.
"Does that mean you agree?" Draconis said.
"It's best if nothing happens. I hope everyone will be well." Lu Ping said.
"This is the best solution I can think of for both of us," Long Xing said.
"That's why I should reject the summons right now and let them think that I really won't go." Lu Ping said.
"That's right." Draconis said.
"Alright, I'll go handle it." Lu Ping nodded. He wasn't like the other academies who only received an invitation letter. Instead, North Style Academy sent someone to deliver the letter to show their sincerity. Although Zi Mu's position in North Style Academy wasn't high, he was still Lu Ping's most familiar friend. Sending him over was to express the importance and friendliness of the invitation to Lu Ping. Lu Ping stood up. He was going to look for Zi Mu and ask him to inform him of his changed decision.
"Wait a moment." Draconis called out to him.
"What is it?"
"What did Chu Min say before? Let's hear it." Draconis said.
"Oh, Teacher Chu Min said that when you came over, you definitely had a good idea in your heart. Now that I look at it, it seems like it is true. "Lu Ping said.
Draconis was dumbstruck. He creased his eyebrows and said, "This old hag knows me so well. Don't tell me she wants to marry me?"
