Before Qiushan Jun, Mo Yu had been the world's youngest Star Condensation cultivator. It was only natural that she possessed the qualifications to express her disdain and ridicule for those so-called geniuses of cultivation.
The Divine Empress glanced at her and said, ”Do you really believe that Chen Changsheng is messing around?”
Mo Yu's fingers slightly stiffened. Similar to many other powerful figures, she had also secretly gone to the gate of the Orthodox Academy. Of course, those matches were not worthy of her eyes, but she was forced to admit that the innate skill and talent Chen Changsheng displayed through the swords in the hands of those new students were not something she could match up to, whether at his age or at present.
This was a question from the Divine Empress—she could not lie. Lightly biting her lip, she answered, ”I was talking about Tang Tang.”
”Everyone's eyes are on Chen Changsheng, believing Tang Thirty-Six to just be messing around…could it be that you also think this way?”
Although the Divine Empress knew that Mo Yu had just been casually speaking, she was still dissatisfied with her opinion. ”Chenwu and those two archbishops prepared for three months, preparing countless contingency plans, soft and exquisite as silk. No matter how the Li Palace responded, they had the means to make it a bigger affair. But up to today, have you seen the Li Palace express its position once or take a single action?”
Naturally, Mo Yu knew the intention of the Tianhai clan and the two Sacred Hall Archbishops.
Tianhai Chenwu had told Xu Shiji that he just wished to do these things because it was convenient, awaiting Xu Yourong's return to the capital and the one battle to decide it all. Of course, this was not the truth, at least not the entire truth.
When a powerful figure like him joined hands with two Sacred Hall Archbishops to do something, it was impossible for them to be so small-minded.
The Ivy Academies challenging the Orthodox Academy were merely the vanguard of an even greater affair.
Mo Yu had originally believed that the Pope would act to suppress this matter before it exploded, but she had not expected that, even now, the Pope would continue to maintain his silence!
This surprised her greatly.
Now, she had been admonished by the Divine Empress. She now understood. Why had the Li Palace never expressed its stance? Why had the matter of the Orthodox Academy always remained limited to the confines of the Orthodox Academy? Why had the matter not proceeded as the Tianhai clan and the two Sacred Hall Archbishops had planned, spreading to the Li Palace, thus allowing the All-School Martial Exhibition to become an all-out clash between the new and conservative factions of the Orthodoxy?
It was for one very simple reason.
The Orthodox Academy…had taken care of the matter on its own.
Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six simply did not require the Li Palace to express its stance nor the Pope to say anything. They were cleanly and neatly resolving the matter on their own.
Back when the Tianhai clan and the two Sacred Hall Archbishops decided to push this matter, they presumably had not imagined that this matter that was only an interlude in their eyes was about to become a seemingly eternal interlude due to these two youths.
That great event had just begun but already seemed to have ground to a stop.
”As long as the Orthodox Academy can endure, the Pope will not say anything.”
The Divine Empress walked to the edge of the platform and looked as the nearby Orthodox Academy gradually began to glow with lantern light. ”Countless contingency plans were all broken by just Tang Tang himself. If the Pope had any view of Chen Changsheng, it was also broken by him. Do you still think he is just messing around?”
