"Otherwise, I think we might as well listen to Teacher Yang and just hand Ling Xiao over," soone suggested after a long silence.
"Exactly, Ling Xiao is just a person who ca from the Heavenly Dragon Continent. Since joining our Qingxu College, he hasn’t made any significant contributions; on the contrary, he has caused us a lot of trouble. What’s the use of keeping him?"
"Yes, yes! As long as we hand over Ling Xiao and his accomplices, we can save our Qingxu College."
Perhaps soone had started it off because several others voiced similar opinions in succession.
The white-bearded elder sat at the head of the table, took a careful look at these people, and then a cold smile flashed in his pupils.
He had made a note of each of these people’s nas.
Those who could say such things were not needed by his Qingxu College!
The white-bearded elder was about to speak when suddenly soone hurried in from outside the door and reported, "Reporting to the President, Ling Xiao has arrived. He says he has important matters to discuss with the senior managent."
"What’s he doing here? He’s nothing but a nuisance!"
Huo Pili expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, maybe he’s co to turn himself in voluntarily," Yang Yi Jun said with a laugh.
"Exactly, let him co in and have his say. It’s not like we’re afraid of a Heavenly Man Realm Martial Artist attacking us by surprise, right?"
Soone chid in to support.
"President, I just rembered sothing. Let Ling Xiao co in. That day when I went to seek Yun Ya, she hinted several tis that I should maintain a good relationship with Ling Xiao. I didn’t take it seriously at the ti, but now, thinking about it, maybe there is sothing to it."
Feng Qingyan suddenly spoke up.
"Alright, then let Ling Xiao co in. He is a mber of the Phoenix God College, after all. Let’s hear what he wants to say."
The white-bearded elder hadn’t wanted Ling Xiao to co in, mainly because he feared Ling Xiao would be unhappy hearing those idle rumours.
After all, he knew Ling Xiao’s true identity and did not want him to feel upset.
But Feng Qingyan’s words had changed his mind.
Monts later, Ling Xiao entered, wearing the college’s specially made uniform.
Although the sa clothes, they looked stunning on him.
Perhaps it was because his physical cultivation ranked among the top of all disciples.
"Disciple Ling Xiao, greets the President, the Vice President, and all the teachers," Ling Xiao said.
Although he was there to offer warmth, he was very respectful and didn’t carry himself with arrogance.
Watching Ling Xiao walk into the council chamber, Feng Qingyan asked, "Ling Xiao, with the recent turbulence outside, why aren’t you focusing on your cultivation instead of coming here?"
Ling Xiao smiled and replied, "Precisely because the college is in trouble. As a student of Qingxu College, having received the college’s grace, how could I not repay it?"
"The college appreciates your sentint, but you are just a Heavenly Man Realm Martial Artist after all. What could you possibly do?"
Huo Pili waved his hand dismissively.
Ling Xiao was pleased with the attitude, but he had little confidence in Ling Xiao’s abilities.
"That’s not necessarily the case."
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "President, may I sit down to speak? I’ve been so busy lately that my back is sore."
"Joke! This seat is reserved for the high-ranking officials of the college. What right does a student like you have to sit? Besides, this whole affair started because of you. If it wasn’t for you, Phoenix God College wouldn’t have gone this far!"
Yang Yi Jun scoffed coldly.
"That’s right!"
"Exactly!"
"We were just preparing to hand you over to Phoenix God College to deal with!"
"Silence!"
The white-bearded elder’s face showed a look of violent anger.
Such an expression was rarely seen on the face of the elder.
"Ling Xiao, don’t listen to them. These people shrink back at the slightest threat—they really don’t deserve to be teachers at Qingxu College!"
The mont these words ca out, Ling Xiao and Yang Yi Jun’s group were all stunned.
Ling Xiao was sowhat surprised, as he had never t the president before. How could he be so supportive of him?
Yang Yi Jun was dumbfounded as he had never expected the president, who had always presented himself with an image of fairness and restraint, to be so angry today.
But at this point, he couldn’t back down.
Even though he was a teacher at Qingxu College, he hadn’t signed any indenture contract. He could leave if he wanted to or stay if he wished—the worst-case scenario would be to pay so penalty fees.
"President, are you implying that you want us to leave Qingxu College with what you said?"
Yang Yi Jun asked coldly.
"It’s not driving you away, but your behavior is so inappropriate that you simply don’t qualify to continue to stay on as teachers of Qingxu College!"
The white-bearded elder said coldly.
"Good! Very good! But don’t regret it later. Let’s go!"
Yang Yi Jun stood up, and the other teachers also rose to their feet.
"Wait a minute!"
The speaker was not the white-bearded elder, but Ling Xiao.
"What’s the rush? If you’re going to leave, do a favor and bring a ssage to Sun Shang. I didn’t intend to completely annihilate him at first, but since he had no sense and insisted on provoking our Qingxu College, this ti, if I don’t bring down Phoenix God College completely, then my na isn’t Ling Xiao!"
"Hahaha, has this kid gone mad from greed and loss?"
Yang Yi Jun burst out laughing.
Ling Xiao ignored him and turned to the white-bearded elder, "President, I won’t waste words. I’ve heard that Qingxu College has recently been severely oppressed by Phoenix God College, and the key issue is that Phoenix God College has a high-level alchemist nad Sun Shang, right?"
"That’s right, now that you know this, do you have any solution?"
Feng Qingyan asked anxiously.
"Of course, there’s a solution, which is to counter with pills, to pit alchemist against alchemist!"
Ling Xiao replied.
"That’s stating the obvious. If we could find a high-level alchemist, would we even be in such trouble?"
Huo Pili said irritably.
"Let him finish speaking."
Feng Qingyan vaguely felt that Ling Xiao would not talk nonsense like that, so there must be sothing more to his words.
"There’s no need to look for a high-level alchemist, because he isn’t far away; he’s right in front of you!"
Ling Xiao said with a slight smile.
"Who?"
Feng Qingyan asked.
"."
Ling Xiao pointed towards himself.
"You brat, if you’re spouting nonsense and joking around with again, believe it or not, I’ll slap you to death!"
Huo Pili was truly angry, thinking that Ling Xiao was playing with them.
"Spouting nonsense, you say?"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, and then with a flick of his hand, a Storage Ring appeared in his hand.
"Vice President Qing Yan, take a look at what’s inside this."
Feng Qingyan hurriedly took the Storage Ring, infused it with Soul Power to inspect the contents, and could not help but exclaim with joy, "Is this the Returning Heaven Pill? No, this is even more effective than the Returning Heaven Pill. What exactly is this?"
"This is the Perfect Grade Revival Spirit Pill I have concocted. Its effects are twice that of the Returning Heaven Pill, with the sa cost, and it also simultaneously restores physical strength. There are a total of one hundred thousand pills, all contained within exquisitely crafted jade bottles, with beautiful packaging and outstanding effects. Do you think they can compete with Sun Shang’s garbage Returning Heaven Pills?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
At this statent, the council hall fell into a sudden silence, almost deathly quiet.
