Ye Xuan intervened in Wei Lan’s affairs because he knew that in the mortal realm, it was impossible for Guanxuan Academy to remain uninvolved!
Between passive and proactive action, he chose to act proactively!
For Guanxuan Academy to establish itself firmly in the mortal realm, relying solely on moral persuasion wouldn’t suffice.
Ye Xuan brought Wei Lan back to Guanxuan Academy, but the news of her breaking off her engagement spread rapidly throughout the mortal realm.
Wei Lan’s decision to break her engagement and join Guanxuan Academy left Great Wei and the Galaxy Alliance utterly humiliated!
However, notably, while Great Wei lost face, it made no moves!
Wei Yuan had said he would expel Wei Lan from Great Wei, but he didn’t follow through!
Many in Great Wei who opposed Wei Lan kept pushing for it, but Wei Yuan suppressed all such suggestions.
In the end, Wei Lan left Great Wei, but her status as a princess wasn’t stripped!
At least not for now!
…
Galaxy Alliance.
By a riverside, Xiao Qing glanced at Wei Yuan and smiled. “Brother Wei Yuan, planning to keep a card up your sleeve?”
Wei Yuan’s intentions were clear to him!
By not expelling Wei Lan from Great Wei, Wei Yuan was obviously keeping his options open!
Wei Yuan shook his head. “Brother Xiao Qing, she’s my daughter, after all. I’ve raised her for so many years. How could I be so heartless?”
Xiao Qing smiled without responding.
Wei Yuan continued, “The fault lies not with her, but with that Ye Xuan. He’s the one who swayed Lan.”
He looked at Xiao Qing. “Brother Xiao, did you know? This Ye Xuan has the Great Dao Pen!”
The Great Dao Pen!
Xiao Qing’s brows furrowed slightly at the mention.
Ye Xuan possessing the Great Dao Pen was indeed unexpected!
Wei Yuan watched Xiao Qing silently.
After a moment, Xiao Qing said suddenly, “That Great Dao Pen is fake!”
Wei Yuan was stunned.
Xiao Qing looked at him. “It’s fake!”
Wei Yuan said gravely, “What if it’s real?”
Xiao Qing smiled. “It can only be fake!”
Wei Yuan’s brows furrowed deeply.
Xiao Qing stared at him. “Do you understand my meaning?”
Wei Yuan understood.
If the world knew Ye Xuan’s Great Dao Pen was real, it would be highly disadvantageous to them!
The Master of the Great Dao Pen, though absent for ages, still held prestige in the mortal realm. If people knew Ye Xuan had the pen, he’d gain significant support in the mortal realm!
Thus, even if it was real, they couldn’t admit it!
Xiao Qing added, “Brother Wei Yuan, I can tell you responsibly that Ye Xuan is definitely not the one chosen by the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Wei Yuan looked at Xiao Qing. “How so?”
Xiao Qing smiled. “First, Ye Xuan isn’t the Chosen One. Second, he’s not from the Galaxy. You’re not from the Galaxy, so you may not fully understand! The true Chosen One can only be from our Galaxy.”
Wei Yuan glanced at Xiao Qing, scoffing inwardly!
Damn it!
Are Galaxy people somehow special?
Of course, for the sake of the alliance, he didn’t say it aloud!
Engaging in regional prejudice now wouldn’t be wise!
Xiao Qing smiled. “Ye Xuan’s actions show he already sees us as enemies. Since he views us as such, we needn’t be polite. Let’s make Guanxuan Academy vanish from this world!”
Wei Yuan was cautious. “That Great Dao Pen is real!”
Clearly, he was reminding Xiao Qing that denying it didn’t make it fake!
If the Great Dao Pen was real, it meant Ye Xuan definitely had a connection to its Master!
Xiao Qing glanced at Wei Yuan. “Even if it’s real, so what?”
Wei Yuan said gravely, “If it’s real, it means he’s tied to the Master of the Great Dao Pen! Don’t you think we should be wary?”
Xiao Qing shook his head with a smile. “I’ll be honest. We’ve already found the true protagonist!”
Wei Yuan frowned. “Protagonist?”
Xiao Qing thought for a moment, then said, “The one truly chosen by the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Wei Yuan fell silent.
The person Xiao Qing mentioned was likely the legendary Chosen One. Though Ye Xuan wasn’t the Chosen One, he had the Great Dao Pen!
Xiao Qing continued, “I speculate Ye Xuan is just a whetstone for the true Chosen One! In any era, a strong figure’s rise is destined to have many foils! As for Ye Xuan having the Great Dao Pen… it means nothing. He lacks the Chosen One’s destiny! Besides, even if he’s connected to the Master, we needn’t fear. To put it bluntly, we cultivators defy the heavens. If we’re timid, afraid of this or that, what’s the point of cultivating? Moreover…”
He sneered slightly. “The Great Dao Pen belongs to the strong! He thinks flashing it will scare others off, but little does he know, his actions are foolish. Many will covet his pen, especially since he’s only at the Divine Path realm!”
Wei Yuan stayed silent!
At that moment, he suddenly realized Ye Xuan was only at the Divine Path realm!
Xiao Qing continued, “The Great Dao Pen is a supreme artifact under its Master, with special functions. In an ancient titan’s hands, people might hesitate, but in a Divine Path cultivator’s hands, they won’t hesitate, only covet!”
Wei Yuan glanced at Xiao Qing. “Brother Xiao, are you tempted too?”
Xiao Qing smiled. “I am, but it’s a hot potato. I won’t take it, but plenty of others will!”
Wei Yuan said no more.
His instincts told him this wasn’t so simple!
But seeing Xiao Qing so dismissive, he relaxed a bit.
As Xiao Qing said, the Galaxy Alliance and the Master of the Great Dao Pen were both from the Galaxy, so they better represented the Master!
…
After Ye Xuan brought Wei Lan back to the academy, he assigned her to the Literature Academy, which was short-staffed. With Wei Lan’s strong abilities, she could greatly help the academy!
Upon joining, Wei Lan quickly adjusted to her new role, fully assisting Ye Xuan in building Guanxuan Academy.
In the academy, Ye Xuan lounged in a chair, with Tian Chen beside him!
Tian Chen’s expression was respectful!
At this moment, Ye Xuan had reached the Wudao realm!
In other words, any ancient titan was now insignificant before him!
Yet, in the eyes of the world, Ye Xuan was still at the Divine Path realm!
Ye Xuan looked at the documents in his hand. After a while, he turned to Tian Chen. “So, in the Land of Nothingness, there are many ancient titans?”
Tian Chen nodded. “Most ancient titans are there. Or rather, those with sufficient cultivation resources go there!”
Cultivation resources!
Ye Xuan glanced at Tian Chen. When Tian Chen destroyed the Dan Sect, it was likely for ancient cultivation resources!
Of course, he wouldn’t bring that up!
It was all in the past!
Tian Chen suddenly asked, “Are you going to the Land of Nothingness?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Not for now! I need to build the academy first. As for the rest, there’s no rush!”
Tian Chen glanced at Ye Xuan, nodding slightly. “Alright!”
At that moment, Wei Lan appeared beside Ye Xuan, saying gravely, “Something’s happened!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. “Speak!”
Wei Lan said solemnly, “Some of our academy students outside have been killed!”
Killed!
Ye Xuan’s gaze grew cold. “Great Wei or the Galaxy Alliance?”
Wei Lan said, “I’m not sure! We’re still investigating!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “No need to investigate! It’s them, no one else! To the Galaxy Alliance!”
Wei Lan looked at Ye Xuan. “To the Galaxy Alliance?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
With that, he stood up.
Wei Lan said suddenly, “I’ll go with you!”
Ye Xuan glanced at her. “Fine!”
As the three prepared to leave, a white light appeared above Guanxuan Academy. The light dissipated, revealing a young man before them!
Seeing him, Wei Lan frowned. “Lin Tian!”
Ye Xuan looked at Wei Lan. “Your former fiancé?”
Wei Lan nodded.
Ye Xuan turned to Lin Tian, who smiled faintly. “You’re Ye Xuan?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Lin Tian looked at him. “This marriage alliance with Great Wei, I actually scoffed at it too, as I disdain such arrangements! But, nominally, Wei Lan is my fiancée. Now, she’s abruptly broken it off to join Guanxuan Academy…”
He smiled, then said, “Isn’t that a slap to my face?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Lin Tian. “I only invited her to join my academy. Joining doesn’t mean losing her freedom. If she likes you, you can be together. I won’t interfere!”
Wei Lan suddenly said, “I’m not interested in him!”
Lin Tian smiled. “I’m not interested in you either. But since you’re nominally my fiancée, you’re my woman. If I don’t want you, no one else can have you!”
He looked at Ye Xuan. “I’m taking her away, right in front of you!”
“What are you?”
Tian Chen suddenly spoke, reaching out with a grab toward Lin Tian.
Boom!
A terrifying force surged toward Lin Tian.
In the sky, Lin Tian remained calm. Just as the force neared, a middle-aged man appeared before him!
With a wave of his sleeve, the man dispersed the force!
It was Xiao Qing, the leader of the Galaxy Alliance!
Xiao Qing glanced at Tian Chen, smiling. “Bullying the weak isn’t very fair!”
Tian Chen’s expression remained calm as he stepped back behind Ye Xuan.
Xiao Qing looked at Ye Xuan, smiling. “Young Master Ye, I won’t beat around the bush! I’m here today to make Guanxuan Academy vanish from this world!”
He smiled faintly. “You don’t mind, do you?”
As he spoke, two elders appeared in the sky.
Two ancient titans!
Ye Xuan suddenly turned to Tian Chen. “Didn’t you say ancient titans can’t act?”
Tian Chen thought for a moment, then said, “They’ll suppress their realms!”
Ye Xuan said softly, “So they must suppress their realms, but… I don’t… and my realm is higher than theirs… bullying them like this doesn’t seem quite fair, does it?”
Tian Chen: “…”
