Chapter 119: Disciples of the Imperial Clan

Meng Shenji truly could not think of how to persuade the other party to stay.

It was their decision to have Qin Ming step forward to reclaim the authority to form the second team.

Having already played the villain, to want to act as a good person now, would that not result in losing one's integrity in their later years?

Meng Shenji's expression was dejected, and he sighed repeatedly, "Little Friend Wu, this matter is entirely this old man's fault, and Qin Ming has also paid the price; can you all stay?"

The outspoken Huo Wu sneered and said, "Three Committee Members, what is the point of saying these things now?"

"Qin Ming cut off our cultivation resources and even wanted to kick us out of the dormitory."

"If this place does not keep me, there are other places that will."

"We are very grateful for the resources provided by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and we will certainly repay them if there is an opportunity in the future. But now, the academy no longer welcomes us; we are merely complying with the academy's resolution, so why do the three Committee Members insist on us staying?"

"If we leave, isn't that exactly what you wished for?"

The three Committee Members sighed and lamented; they wanted to ask Prince Xue Xing to step forward to persuade the other party to stay.

But the fact was, Prince Xue Xing was eager for Wu Qi and the others to withdraw from the academy, so as to completely sever their connection with Xue Qinghe.

The three tried to persuade them to stay again, but after being rejected multiple times in a row, they finally had no choice but to approve the withdrawal applications of the seven.

After Wu Qi and his group left, the three Committee Members' bodies went limp, and they slumped into their chairs.

This time, they could be said to have completely overturned the arrangements Xue Qinghe had made in the academy. Their performance was exactly like that of undercover agents lurking by the other party's side.

Before they could even catch their breath, Sun Buyu also came to submit his resignation.

Now, he had been officially hired by Seven Treasure Academy, and he was even serving as the team's lead teacher.

Since that was the case, Heaven Dou Huangjia Xueyuan no longer held any nostalgia for him.

……

At the foot of the mountain of Heaven Dou Huangjia Xueyuan, Wu Qi and the others waited for a moment until Sun Buyu caught up.

Looking at everyone, Sun Buyu chuckled, "Hehe, since everyone is here, let's go to the new academy together."

According to the plan, a portion of the Seven Treasure Academy campus had already been constructed.

Thanks to the generosity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the workers toiled day and night, and the progress of the campus construction was very fast.

Upon arriving at Seven Treasure Academy, Wu Qi discovered that the speed of the campus construction was even faster than expected.

In addition to the team's cultivation area and living area, the dormitories for the first batch of students and teachers had already been completed, and the construction of the teaching area was also more than half finished.

Seven Treasure Academy was established within Tiandou City; originally, this was an empty plot of land, and the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce had intended to use it to build the new headquarters for the chamber.

But because the construction of the academy was a top priority, this plot of land was allocated to the academy.

The two sides had communicated in advance, and the academy's current management team had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

"Teacher Sun, you've worked hard. As for you little geniuses, don't worry about the enrollment procedures; we old folks will handle them for you."

The current management team of the academy consisted of Elders dispatched from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong stepped forward a few paces and took the initiative to greet them, "Grandpa Zhangqing, Uncle Dahua..."

She was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and she had received no shortage of care from these Elders since she was a child.

Ning Zhangqing laughed happily and said, "It's been a few months, and Rongrong has already broken through to become a Soul Elder. When we old folks were at this age, we were only Great Spirit Masters..."

After chatting for a while, he arranged, "Rongrong, take your partners to see the dormitories. These were designed by the Sect Master himself; I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Everyone became interested, and under the guidance of the teachers, they headed to the dormitory area together.

Currently, Seven Treasure Academy was recruiting teachers and school management personnel from all over the continent.

It was foreseeable that Ning Zhangqing and the others were only temporarily responsible for the daily work of the academy, and it would be gradually handed over to others later.

……

The dormitory prepared by Ning Fengzhi for everyone was not a single villa, but a vast estate with a large building in the middle.

Arriving in front of the building, a diagram of the interior layout was posted on the gate at the entrance.

Inside the building, there were not only living areas but also secret rooms for secluded cultivation, training rooms, and a separate dining hall.

It could be said that the team members could train and live normally without ever stepping outside.

"Uncle Ning is truly thoughtful." Wu Qi was full of gratitude.

In the outside world, this one building would be enough for hundreds of families to live in, so one could imagine the level of luxury within.

Ning Rongrong generously said, "Then, everyone, pick your rooms."

"Ladies first."

……

Having just arrived at the new academy, Wu Qi proposed giving everyone a day off to familiarize themselves with the environment.

After putting away their respective luggage, Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong strolled around the academy.

Qiangu Changkong's connection with the Consecration Hall had never been interrupted, so he naturally knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already reached a cooperation with them, and he also knew that all of this was facilitated by Wu Qi.

"Brother Wu, I really don't know how you managed to accomplish so many major things in one go during this period while ensuring your cultivation. You don't know, my grandfather uses you to lecture me whenever he has the chance, and I've been scolded miserably."

Wu Qi smiled but did not answer.

In his past life, he was a government clerk who lived on public grain, and he had also successfully managed some projects.

If Qiangu Changkong had his life experience, relying on his status, he could certainly accomplish more things than he could, and he would not be constrained at every turn.

Although Qingluan Douluo did not treat him as an outsider, they were not blood relatives after all, and the other Consecrations were more or less "wary" of him.

This was human nature, and Wu Qi would not pay too much attention to it.

While talking, the two arrived at the construction site.

Wu Qi noticed that the construction workers were all using their martial souls to transport sand and stone materials.

This was not surprising; if they hadn't hired Spirit Masters to help with the construction, relying solely on ordinary people, the speed of the academy's construction would not have been this fast.

What was worth noting was that the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros martial soul appeared among the workers.

If it were someone else, they might not pay much attention, but Wu Qi knew clearly that the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros was the inherited martial soul of the Imperial Clan.

Once upon a time, they were vassals of the Clear Sky Sect!

Possessing a god's-eye view, Wu Qi clearly knew that in the future, they would join under Tang San's command and become the backbone of the Tang Sect.

"Brother Wu, what's wrong?" Seeing him lost in thought, Qiangu Changkong couldn't help but ask.

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

After speaking, Wu Qi walked forward on his own.

Qiangu Changkong felt stunned.

Many power-type Spirit Masters, either forced by livelihood or other reasons, would also engage in manual labor; what was there worth paying attention to?

Before long, Wu Qi arrived in front of an Imperial Clan disciple who was resting.

Seeing that Wu Qi was dressed in finery and clearly didn't look like someone who did manual labor, the man spoke up to warn him, "The construction site is very dangerous; don't run around, lest you get hurt."

Wu Qi did not answer, instead taking a bottle of fine wine out from his Soul Guidance Device.

On a construction site in Douluo Dalu, there were no rules forbidding the consumption of alcohol.

The fragrance of the wine overflowed, and this Imperial Clan disciple was immediately intoxicated by it.

Wu Qi smiled and handed the wine forward, "I have something I'd like to ask you; care to chat?"

This man was named Niu Gao, a homophone for Niu Gao, and he was the foreman of the Imperial Clan disciples on site.

For the sake of the wine, he beckoned, "Follow me."
