Chapter 19 – The new student of The Tradition Academy (Part 3) (1/2)

Learn whose spirit? The pope’s? What spirit? Officer Xin then thought to a deeper level and wondered why the Pope gave his approval. Even after he looked in to the deepest part of his soul, he would only understand a tiny bit of what the Pope’s intentions were out of the vastness of his plans that were as vast as the Milky Wave.

When Officer Xin walked out of the Archbishop’s room, his face was pale from thinking about Archbishop’s comment and it didn’t calm him down at all. He had a few conjectures on what the purpose of the Pope was but he wasn’t sure what was correct and what was wrong. Did the Pope really decide to revitalize The Tradition Academy? Why wasn’t there any sign in the capital? Why would he pick such a young student to do such thing? The most important issue was without the historical problem of The Tradition Academy resolved, who dared to touch this part?

As he got closer to Chen Chang Sheng’s location, he had to make up his mind and come up with a decision. When he was about ten footsteps away from the room, he had made up his mind on his plan of actions and made a fake smile. “Here are the roster and the key, but you probably don’t know, even if there are actually anyone on the roster, we can hardly find them.”

Chen Chang Sheng took the roster and flipped through it. He saw that the pages were very old and that next to most names there was a word “left”. He asked “Then what should I do?”

Officer Xin thought ‘How is this my problem?’ Although he said that to himself, he absolutely couldn’t speak it out loud. He had already decided that he would not support the Traditional Academy and not get involved in the plans of super powers. He would fulfill his duties that were within his range of powers that were provided to him like giving money and giving people if Chen Chang Sheng required.

“You think…Studying in The Tradition Academy, what do you still need now?” He looked into Chen Chang Sheng’s eyes and asked tentatively.

“Whatever I want?”

“If you want me to sent the teachers at the Heavenly Academy to The Tradition Academy…..then I probably can’t.” Officer Xin laughed and said. He knew that what he just said was not humorous, but rather appeared somewhat helpless.

Chen Chang Sheng said “I want people.”

Officer Xin’s smile gradually faded and said seriously “How many?”

Chen Chang Sheng replied seriously, “A large amount.”

Officer Xin’s face didn’t change, but his two hands were gradually getting cold. He thought that it was really what the Archbishop had guessed. The Pope’s attempt at revitalizing The Tradition Academy must had hidden objectives. Otherwise why would the first thing this young student asked was people and asked for so many? If there was really something that violated the taboo, what should he do?

“Can I ask…why do youwant so many people?”

He said each word seriously and carefully and stared into Chen Chang Sheng’s eyes. Although Officer Xin’s face was extremely serious, he was prepared to refute his statement and run right away quickly.

Chen Chang Sheng did not feel his nervousness. Even if he did, he could not understand. “The Tradition Academy is not small. Most buildings are too old and broken. The buildings can be fixed slowly but to study in the building it needs to be cleaned. If I don’t have enough people to do the work, then it will take away a lot of time from my studying.”

When Officer Xin heard this, he took a deep breath not due to fear but surprise. Worrying that Chen Chang Sheng would regret, he said unhesitatingly: “The needed revenues will be given immediately, and the needed workers will also be sent out. I will then send some miscellaneous affairs over, no, actually, I will take them myself to you.”

After he said this, he friendly pat Chen Chang Sheng’s shoulder, held Chen Chang Sheng’s arms, and walked him out of the department of traditional education. The scene drew many attention from the surroundings because the usually serious Officer Xin was actually being so kind to such a young looking student. This scene sparked many discussions in the deparment.

…………………………………..

“Chen Chang Sheng actually went in the Tradition Academy?”

“Yes….after Nanny Ning left, he shortly went to the department of traditional education.”

The study room located inside the Dong Yu General’s Mansion fell silent immediately after the short exchange.

Xu Shi Ji’s face was indifferent and he looked at the worrisome Nanny Hua. “Since it’s that side’s intention, then don’t worry about it for now.”

Madam Xu who was worried said “Why was there such a sudden change?”

Xu Shi Ji said “I ask her to help solve the issue with Startaker Academy. It was not for that little kid. Sacrificing such a big favor, I originally wanted to tell this engagement to her. I had hoped that she would report it to the Divine Queen but she took it in her own hands and whatever she does is reasonable.”

Madam Xu was still worried and said “The problem is what Nanny Ning said ‘leave that kid alive?’ Why would the palace care about him?”

Xu Shi Ji glanced at Nanny Hua.

Nanny Hua looked down and whispered “Last night, Shuang Er went to the palace saying that the lady sent a letter regarding him.”

Madam Xu heard this and was a little unpleased. “This kid, why did she send a letter for some stranger instead of her parents?”
