By the time Qin Yi came out of seclusion, a month had already passed.
Although he had yet to make a breakthrough, the energy waves emanating from his body were already comparable to a high-level Dao Change Realm martial artist.
Evidently, he had gained a lot during this period of time.
After a month of rest, the Imperial Capital had regained its vitality.
However, according to the report given by Bai He, the Imperial Capital was still in a closed state for the time being.
Other than the disciples of the Three Great Five Cauldron Sects and the disciples of the Imperial City, only the itinerant cultivators who did not belong to any faction were allowed to move around.
Without a doubt, this was Emperor Yun fulfilling the promise he had made to the various families and sects before his battle with the Shadow King, Xiao Qianyuan.
During this period of time, there were many factions who wanted to return to the Imperial Capital after seeing that it was safe. However, they were all rejected by Emperor Yun and the people left behind by the three great factions.
Back then, when the Imperial Capital was at its most dangerous, they chose to leave. According to Emperor Yun, they had already given up on the foundations left behind by their ancestors. Now that they attempted to return, they were no different from those who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
Of course, regardless of whether it was Emperor Yun, Luo Wuji, or the leaders of the various sects, they all knew that it was impossible for such a huge Imperial Capital to be divided among the few factions.
Even if they were the strongest factions now, they could not possibly have such a huge appetite!
Therefore, Emperor Yun had already decided to move some of the big families that were originally in the cities outside the Imperial Capital into the Imperial Capital. He wanted these families to become the new nobles of the city!
Although this was very unfair to the families and sects that had previously taken root in the Imperial Capital, it was still unfair to them.
After all, among these factions, some had also suffered heavy losses in the war. There were also many factions who did not really want to protect the Imperial Capital, but they were really thinking about their own factions.
However, Emperor Yun's unyielding attitude also taught those sects and families a lesson. Regardless of whether it was an ordinary person, a martial artist, or a sect or a family, they had to be responsible for the choices they made!
Without a doubt, this was a huge reshuffle. What the Cloud Emperor did was equivalent to completely changing the capital city that had gone through a lot of hardships. In this way, although it would still take a long time for the Imperial Capital to return to the prosperity it had before the "Dark Shadow" invasion, at least it could ensure that the families that were chosen this time would be able to risk their lives when the crisis came!
After all, opportunities were hard to come by for those forces.
Only those who knew how difficult it was to get this opportunity would try their best to grasp it!
"I have to say, Emperor Yun's move is really beautiful!"
The corners of Qin Yi's mouth curled up into a faint smile. It could be seen that he agreed with Emperor Yun's approach.
As for which clans and sects would be selected in the end, although Emperor Yun said that he would let the leaders of the three sects discuss it together, Qin Yi had no interest in such activities.
Even though he knew that this was a chance for the Yun Emperor to nurture his confidantes, he did not want to participate. After all, in his opinion, if the academy wanted to prosper, it could only rely on its own strength! The so-called nurturing of confidantes was meaningless to him. It was just a waste of energy for no reason.
However, although Qin Yi did not want to participate in this matter, he could not help but be affected by it.
On the third day after Qin Yi came out of seclusion, two guests suddenly appeared outside the academy.
The disciple guarding the entrance did not know the identity of the guests, but the other party asked to see Qin Yi. No matter how he tried to chase them away, he could not chase them away. He had no choice but to inform them.
After receiving the news, Qin Yi also used his divine sense to scan the outside of the palace.
When he saw the appearance of the guests, Qin Yi's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. A threatening chill shot out like a sharp sword, almost causing the disciple to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Fortunately, the cold light in Qin Yi's eyes only flashed for a moment, and the disciple in charge of reporting quickly returned to normal. He immediately lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake and said in a low voice, "Palace Master, I will chase them away now!"
"No need."
Just as he turned around, he heard Qin Yi's voice coming from behind, "Please help me bring them here."
"Yes!"
The disciple answered solemnly, then strode out in big steps, feeling uncertain. It had to be said that this was the first time he saw the Palace Master's eyes so cold. He should know the people outside, and he should have a grudge against them.
Since there was a grudge, why were the two people outside so insistent on seeing Palace Master Qin, and why did Palace Master Qin want to see them?
However, this was obviously not something he, the disciple in charge of reporting, should consider. What he needed to do was to quickly bring the people to the Palace Master.
…
A moment later, in the small courtyard where Qin Yi lived, there were two more men. One of them had a head full of white hair and an aged appearance. However, the occasional glint between his brows revealed that this person was definitely not a simple person.
The other middle-aged man also had a faint superior temperament. There was no doubt that this person was used to living a pampered life. He only needed to give an order to do anything, and there was no need for him to do it himself!
Facing Qin Yi, the two of them tried their best to suppress their usual arrogant attitude, lowering their heads and not saying a word. Occasionally, they would raise their heads to glance at Qin Yi, but they quickly looked away.
It seemed that he was extremely afraid of Qin Yi. He was afraid that his little movements would be discovered by Qin Yi and would immediately incur Qin Yi's wrath. However, they could not get used to the dull atmosphere in front of them, so they tried to find a flaw in Qin Yi and break the silence.
On the contrary, Qin Yi was very calm. He half leaned on the chair, calmly picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip unhurriedly, and then exhaled a mouthful of hot air.
He kept repeating this action for a full hour.
Such a long time was an indescribable torture for the two men in front of him.
Their foreheads and bodies were already dripping with sweat, and even their faces had become a little pale.
Thump!
