Chapter 2003: Liu Jinsheng’s Identity (2/2)

“Is there anything else, Teacher?” Everyone else would respectfully address him as “High G.o.d”, but now, he didn’t dare to show any slight before Li Qiye.

“What is your opinion on the academy right now?” Li Qiye asked.

Jinsheng didn’t expect this question. He pondered for a bit before answering truthfully: “Teacher, I believe I’m not the only one hiding at the academy. Well, some are joining as students but as for whether they are here to learn, to socialize, or have some other goals, who knows?”

“That happens in every generation, but I’m sure there’s more.” Li Qiye calmly said.

Jinsheng continued: “I’m not too clear on the academy’s current situation, but in my opinion, it’s not very ideal, something big will happen soon. Because of this, more are enrolling with eyes lurking in the shadows, including emperors. Danger is inevitable but we’ll see if the academy will be able to make it through or not.”

“So many have been paying attention to the academy, hoping that it would fall. Not just the three races even, the hundred races have lineages wis.h.i.+ng for this. Why? They want to share the pie on top of replacing its spot.” Li Qiye smiled and said.

“Right.” Jinsheng said with a tinge of emotion: “The academy is indeed a gigantic pie. Just its resources alone are tempting enough, let alone all of the things left behind by the emperors here.”

“In fact, some emperors and High G.o.ds who are alumni of the academy want it to go down. Because they studied here, they knew just how rich it was along with things they truly covet.” Li Qiye’s expression turned cold.

Jinsheng agreed: “The destruction of the academy can fatten other lineages. If they could gain enough out of it, the harvest could propel their sects to the next level.”

“And you? Do you want the academy to fall so that you can have a piece or the opposite?” Li Qiye looked at him and got to the point.

Jinsheng met his gaze and said seriously: “I do find the resources tempting but I do not wish for the academy’s demise. I don’t care that it is the hope of the hundred races but I know when to be grateful and appreciative - when you drink water, remember the source. As a student of the academy, I want it to stand strong.”

The two maintained their inquisitive gaze in order to truly read each other. Jinsheng didn’t flinch at all.

“Very good.” Li Qiye nodded: “It is best that other emperors and High G.o.ds share this att.i.tude as well. Greed will consume everything.”

“I hope that academy can handle this incoming disaster.” Jinsheng said.

Li Qiye calmly added: “There have been numerous disasters and tribulations in the past and the academy had surpa.s.sed them all. Everything will bear fruit - you’ll see when it comes.”

Jinsheng quietly nodded without prying any further. Of course, he was still confident in the academy due to its strong past. It wouldn’t be so easy to take it down!

“Go now, don’t go beyond your bounds as a student here.” Li Qiye waved his sleeve and said.

A powerful being like Jinsheng knew better than to be disrespectful at this moment. He bowed again and left.

“When you drink water, remember the source. Well put, out of consideration for this, the thing you are looking for is inside the Lion Hall. Try your best now.” Li Qiye called out as the man was walking away.

Jinsheng was jolted with excitement. He turned around and bowed deeply: “Thank you, Teacher. I will forever remember your kindness.”

Li Qiye waved his sleeve again and the old man left.
