　　Lu Qingshan, who was slapped, his half cheek quickly swelled up, but he still turned his head and didn’t say a word.
　　Seeing that his son was not convinced, Lu Liangping raised his hand again.
　　”That’s enough…”
　　Lu Xuan put down the teacup at this time and said slowly, “What’s the use of beating him now？ Usually, it’s you who spoils him too much！”
　　Hearing his father’s words, Lu Liangping naturally didn’t dare to talk back, but he was obviously not convinced in his heart.
　　Spoil？
　　Compared with how his father spoils Lu Qingshan, he is really a strict father！
　　Lu Xuan looked at Xing Zhengye and Lu Qingshan and said lightly, “Get up！”
　　The two stood up one after another.
　　”Xing Zhengye…”
　　”Subordinate　is　here.”
　　”This time I didn’t protect you. Do you still have resentment in your heart？”
　　”Subordinate　dare　not！”
　　”Hehe…”
　　Lu Xuan smiled and said, “I know you are aggrieved in your heart, but although Yang Yuhui is the vice president, she usually doesn’t take care of things. This time she suddenly took action, mostly because of Ye Wushuang…”
　　”That Tan Tai Mingyue and Ye Wushuang are on good terms. Currently, it doesn’t seem to be a relationship between a man and a woman. Yang Yuhui specially protected Ye Wushuang. I really don’t quite understand！”
　　As Lu Xuan spoke, his fingertips unconsciously tapped on the table.
　　”Just this time, since Yang Yuhui has intervened, then Tan Taixiong will definitely side with his sister-in-law, and Lu Jingshan can’t wait for our Lu family to suffer losses. So I have to wrong you and take a step back.”
　　”The position of deputy hall master is gone. You should cultivate well first. In the future, there will definitely be an opportunity for you to display your abilities！”
　　”Yes！” Xing Zheng Ye lowered his head and replied affirmatively.
　　”Go and have a good rest. During this period of time, take good care of your injuries.” Lu Xuan instructed again.
　　”Yes.”
　　Xing Zheng Ye left quickly.
　　In the room, there were only Lu Xuan, Lu Liang Ping, and Lu Qing Shan, the grandfather and grandson trio.
　　Lu Xuan looked at his grandson and said, “Do you really have to marry only Tan Tai Ming Yue？”
　　”Yes！”
　　”Good！”
Lu Xuan nodded and said, “Regarding this matter, what did you do? There are thousands of ways to kill Ye Wu Shuang. Who are you? My grandson, the third core disciple in the inner courtyard, at the Void Saint Eighth Rank Realm, destined to become a Saint in the future!
　　”Who is he？ Just a disciple from the middle courtyard, who came out of a small continent. What is he？”
　　”If you want to kill him, why bother so much？”
　　Lu Qing Shan opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
　　Lu Liang Ping beside him sighed inwardly.
　　Still say he spoils his son？
　　With Lu Xuan, the grandfather, teaching Lu Qing Shan like this, how could Lu Qing Shan not be arrogant and domineering？
　　Lu Xuan continued, “Since Ye Wu Shuang already knows that it was you who wanted to kill him, then from now on, no matter what method you use, whether it’s inside the academy or outside the academy, you must kill him. This is the order your grandfather gives you！”
　　”Qingshan, only having high talent but not a strong means, you won’t be able to take over our Lu family’s big ship in the future, understand？”
　　Lu Qingshan nodded and said, “Grandson understands.”
　　”Grandson will definitely painstakingly cultivate and step on Gu Qiye and Shen Yunqin underfoot to win glory for grandpa！”
　　”Well, go！”
　　Before Lu Qingshan came, he knew he would be scolded, but he still wasn’t afraid in his heart.
　　His father would scold him, but his grandpa would help him！
　　It has been like this since childhood.
　　In the room, in the blink of an eye, only Lu Xuan and Lu Liangping, father and son, were left.
　　”Father…” Lu Liangping said helplessly, “Teaching him like this, something big will happen sooner or later！”
　　”What kind of thing will happen？”
　　Lu Xuan smiled and said, “In this Xuanyuan Domain, who dares to touch Qingshan, I will wipe out his entire family！”
　　Lu Liangping looked at his father, sighed, and said nothing.
　　”How is the contact with the Yunri Sect？” Lu Xuan picked up the teacup again and said lightly.
　　”Everything　is　fine.”
　　”Well…”
　　Lu Xuan then said, “Liangping, actually, you do things comprehensively. I’m very relieved to hand the Lu family over to you. But if our Lu family wants to rise, you are not enough. Your sharpness is not as good as Qingshan’s.”
　　”You can be a monarch who maintains the status quo, but you can’t be a hegemon who expands the territory. But our Lu family needs to expand the territory！”
　　Lu Liangping then said, “Son understands.”
　　The Gu family has controlled the Star-Picking Academy for far too long. It’s truly time for the Star-Picking Academy to change its owner and have a new look…
　　Lu Xuan let out a soft sigh, and the room fell silent.
　　……
　　The four vice deans gathered in the Law Enforcement Hall because of a disciple who had just entered the academy. This matter didn’t cause much of a sensation.
　　After all, the high-ranking officials also deliberately concealed it.
　　The back mountain of the academy.
In a mountain range with a leisurely environment, lofts and tall towers rose from the ground.
　　And at this time.
　　In a bamboo forest area, several bamboo houses stood side by side.
　　In front of the bamboo house, a woman, with both hands playing the qin, a secluded qin sound slowly rang out, but it only reverberated within the bamboo forest.
　　This qin sound contained an intoxicating and heart-fluttering atmosphere, as if it had magic.
　　At the end of a song.
　　The woman sitting in front of the guqin slightly raised her head, looked outside the bamboo forest, and said in an ethereal and pleasant voice, “Uncle Yan, come in！”
　　Slowly, on the path in the bamboo forest, a figure slowly stepped forward.
　　Gu Qingyan, in a long gown, paced forward, stopped one zhang away from the woman, and cupped his hands.
　　I heard it was very lively？
　　“Well…” Gu Qing Yan replied, “Dan Tai Xiong, Lu Jing Shan, and Lu Xuan have all gone. However, I really didn’t expect Yang Yu Hui to be so proactive this time…”
Upon hearing this, the woman couldn’t help but smile and said, “The Dan Tai family, the Lu family, and the Lu family have been fighting for a long time. Over the years, our Gu family’s power has indeed declined. However, no matter what, the Yang family hardly got involved in it…
　　Zhai Xing Academy, now the number one power within the Xuan Yuan Domain, of course has factions within it.
　　Back then, the first-generation dean only spent two thousand years to build Zhai Xing Academy into the first hegemon, standing high above. Naturally, there was no shortage of annexation and integration in the process.
　　And back then, when the dean was around, no one dared to make trouble.
　　But times have changed. Now within the academy, our Gu family, the true leader of the academy, seems to be a bit powerless in suppressing the other families.
　　Gu Qing Yan couldn’t help but say, “That’s true. The Yang family was originally an alchemy family. Now the direct descendants of the Yang family within the academy also hold various idle positions and stay away from power struggles…”
So, that’s why I’m curious. Why would Yang Yu Hui come forward to be partial to Ye Wu Shuang this time!
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Yu Hui is supporting Dan Tai Ming Yue. But if it was just to support Dan Tai Ming Yue, there’s no need to be so strong.
　　Yang Yu Hui seems to have some concern for Ye Wu Shuang, yet doesn’t want others to feel it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let Ye Wu Shuang stay in Mo Huo Valley for three days in the end.
　　This is very strange！
　　“His background, has it been investigated clearly？”
　　“Very clearly. He is indeed from the Tian Yuan Continent, and this kid… is quite a legend…”
　　Gu Qing Yan immediately related the situation of the investigation into Ye Wu Shuang’s background.
　　Hearing this, the woman took a long time to react and couldn’t help but be astonished and said, “He started cultivating at the age of less than sixteen, and is less than twenty years old this year？”
　　In just three or four years, from being good for nothing to the mid-stage of the Soul Tempering Saint Realm today？
　　This is more than just a monster！
“This child has the qualification to become a saint!” Gu Qing Yan sighed.
　　The woman nodded slowly and then said, “Since that’s the case, we might as well cultivate and nurture him. It has been a long time since such a genius who doesn’t belong to any faction has appeared in the academy…”
　　“Yes…”
　　Gu Qing Yan nodded and said.
　　When the conversation came to this point, the woman suddenly said, “On Lu Xuan’s side, he still has quite a lot of intersections with the Yun Ri Sect？”
　　“Well,　never　stopped.”
　　Gu Qing Yan sighed and said, “Back then, Lu Xuan got in touch with Huo Chen Yi, and now Huo Chen Yi’s status and position in the Yun Ri Sect is very extraordinary. It seems that this Lu Xuan has made up his mind…”
　　“It　doesn’t　matter！”
　　The woman then said, “What about that Lu Jing Shan？”
