Shi Jin had been riding the crest of success during this period. Because of his outstanding performance, the family had been increasing their support for him.
Some time ago, they'd even sent him a spirit medicine that could increase cultivation, helping Shi Jin break through to level two of the Dao Foundation realm.
Although it was just a small step, it allowed Shi Jin to rise from an ordinary small fry to an outstanding existence among the true disciples.
Although he might not be able to directly challenge people like Jiang Kui and Ning Qiancheng …
However, it was more than enough to compete with a true disciple like Chen Tingwei.
Moreover, Shi Jin was quite excited by the news that had come from a mundane family. Because of the close relationship between the Shi family and the Yun family, the change in power in the secular kingdom had not affected the Shi family. Instead, the Shi family had benefited greatly from it.
The Shi family had risen amidst the chaos. Now, their strength and status in the capital had risen by a whole level.
If not for the fact that he was in the academy, Shi Jin would have celebrated publicly. But he knew very well that this matter was still very sensitive.
The Yun family had suddenly attacked, destroyed the royal family, and seized power in the secular kingdom. Although Yin-Yang Academy had not publicly expressed its stance on this matter.
But according to speculation, Yin-Yang Academy was definitely dissatisfied with the Yun family's actions. In fact, they were extremely opposed to it.
If not for the fact that the Yun family had a mastermind controlling everything from behind the scenes, causing Yin-Yang Academy to be deeply apprehensive, they would not be able to suppress the rebellion and bring order to the world.
The academy would have acted long ago.
Therefore, although Shi Jin was riding the crest of success, he did not get carried away.
On the contrary, he kept a low profile. But this low profile was accompanied by a series of actions. He had secretly contacted many people, especially those he had a good relationship with.
This was especially true for those who had a good relationship with him. Shi Jin planned to tie these people to the Shi family's warship, whether openly or secretly.
He also knew that this matter with the Yun family would come to an end sooner or later. Either the academy would attack the Yun family, or the mastermind behind the scenes would join forces with the secular powers of the Azure Net Kingdom to besiege Yin-Yang Academy on Moon Seal Mountain.
Although Shi Jin was a disciple of the academy, he still cared more about his status as a member of the Shi family. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this time to rope in more geniuses of the academy.
At the critical moment, it was tantamount to weakening the academy's power.
One had to admit that this Shi Jin was definitely a b * stard in the Yin Yang Academy who was secretly helping outsiders.
However, he had managed to win over a group of people.
At this moment, there were four people in Shi Jin's cave.
Two of them had always been Shi Jin's diehard followers. Their original status was similar to Shi Jin's, but as Shi Jin's cultivation rose, their relationship with Shi Jin slowly changed, and they became Shi Jin's leader.
The other person was none other than Ouyang Hong.
Currently, Ouyang Hong wasn't doing very well in the Yin Yang Academy.
First of all, his master, Elder Ke, had originally been in charge of managing the new students. As Shao Pengju had been promoted to Grand Elder, Elder Ke's authority in many areas had been slowly weakened. Although he was an elder, he had already lost some of his influence among the upper echelons.
As the personal disciple of Elder Ke, Ouyang Hong was naturally affected as well.
Moreover, everyone had seen how unhappy he had been with Qin Yi back then. Now, in order not to offend Qin Yi, many people had taken the initiative to maintain a certain distance from Ouyang Hong.
Ouyang Hong had originally been in high spirits when he hosted the meeting between the new and old students. Now, it had plummeted, and no one was interested.
This feeling of disparity had caused Ouyang Hong to be in a state of anger and helplessness.
Therefore, when Shi Jin extended an olive branch, although Ouyang Hong had felt that Shi Jin was originally a small character who was inferior to him, he could not ignore him now.
"Brother Ouyang, back then, when you hosted the meeting between the new and old students, you were so valiant and heroic. Why are you so depressed now? "
Shi Jin stared at Ouyang Hong with a smile. His tone was not without ridicule, but it also carried a hint of fanning the flames.
Ouyang Hong snorted coldly. "Shi Jin, what do you mean? Did you invite me over to watch me make a fool of myself? "
Shi Jin smiled leisurely. "You worry too much. Right now, there are not many people in the entire Yin-Yang Academy who are willing to pay attention to you. I, Shi Jin, am not so bored as to specially invite you over to ridicule you, right? There are no old or new grudges between us, right? "
Ouyang Hong snorted but did not say anything else.
He also knew that Shi Jin had broken through to the second stage of the Dao foundation realm, and his current cultivation level might be higher than Ouyang Hong's. Naturally, he could not flare up.
"Brother Ouyang, have you thought about who the culprit that caused you to be in such a sorry state is?" Shi Jin began to provoke again.
Ouyang Hong's gaze was somewhat guarded. "Shi Jin, what are you trying to say? Don't think that I don't know about the conflict between you and Qin Yi. If you think that I, Ouyang Hong, will be used by you, then you are too naive. Although you, Shi Jin, have a bit of luck. However, in the Yin-Yang Academy, it is not your turn to scheme against me. Your foundation might not be at my level. You want to instigate me to be used as a weapon? "
Ouyang Hong was obviously not a fool, and he could hear Shi Jin's underlying meaning. He retorted sarcastically.
Shi Jin was seen through, but he was not upset.
Instead, he smiled leisurely. "Didn't I say that you misunderstood? Since you know about the conflict between me and Qin Yi, then you should know that the two of us speak the same language. We have the same enemy. There are many things, so why can't we sit down together and talk about them openly without any ill feelings between us? "
"Discuss what?" Ouyang Hong asked coldly.
"Whatever you want to discuss." Shi Jin smiled. "Let's talk about your master's awkward position in the academy. If this continues, he will be marginalized sooner or later. Are you and your master really willing to continue like this? Haven't you thought about putting in some effort to resist? "
Resist?
Ouyang Hong's eyes flashed with a trace of darkness.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about it, but how could an ordinary elder like his master, Elder Ke, resist against the might of the academy's Palace Lord and Grand Elder?
Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only swallow the blood and beat his teeth to the ground!
"The change in power in the Azure Net Nation has clearly shaken the academy. This is a rare opportunity for Elder Ke and Brother Ouyang. I don't believe that Brother Ouyang and your master have no ideas. How could they not do anything? "
Shi Jin's words had clearly been carefully crafted and were extremely provocative.
Indeed, Ouyang Hong's expression changed slightly, but he still pretended to be indifferent. "The change in power in the secular world is but a small matter to the academy. As long as the academy is willing, we can suppress the Yun Family at any time and restore peace to the Azure Net Nation. "
