Chapter 2037: Son Of Immortal Emperor Fei (2/2)

“I came with no purpose, only to hang around in Study Room and find some mysteries. This is more of a coincidence.” Li Qiye smiled.

“I’m even more at ease knowing that you’re there.” The prince smiled: “No need to send anyone to protect that place then. No one can go take that item now.”

“Even without me there, the High Heaven Scroll is not obtainable anyway. It has been there for so many years now. Hmm, right now, only three people could probably take it away.” Li Qiye replied.

“We have to plan for everything, who to say that a twelve-will emperor won’t get involved once the academy is in trouble.” The prince smiled wryly.

“That’s true, that scroll is too tempting. It is not only the most complete High Heaven Scroll in the world but also the strongest one.” Li Qiye nodded.

“Strongest might be too much.” The prince responded.

“Well, top three in history, at least.” Li Qiye commented.

So it turned out that Study Room was hiding an incredible treasure named High Heaven Palace. Of course, others didn’t know about it and they had no way of researching this particular item.

Few truly understood this place - one was Immortal Emperor Fei, another was Deep South Emperor, and the Dark Crow was the third.

Not too many treasures in this world could tempt a twelve-will emperor, but this was certainly one of them.

“I wonder if it’s a blessing or disaster to have something like that here.” The prince spoke softly.

“Who knows?” Li Qiye smiled: “But with this item, the academy will have unlimited potential. After all, if you want to look up and find what’s above, what can be more suited for this purpose than the palace?”

“That makes sense.” The prince said: “When Father left for the expedition, he left the palace behind and said that if the academy can hold on to it, then there will still be hope and unlimited potential for our world.”

“Leave it here.” Li Qiye said slowly: “Hope is within, of course, if there are apex existences looking for it, then it’s not a bad thing either. Let them show themselves.”

“After surviving this disaster, a long period of peace will come.” The prince nodded.

“It will be very exciting. Who will be on the academy’s side and who wants to make prey out of it? Time will tell.” Li Qiye smirked.

The prince showed some hesitation after this and finally looked up at Li Qiye: “Sir, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you.”

Li Qiye nodded: “I know, you want to ask about the expedition.”

“I’ve never wanted to ask about this because I’m not prepared to hear the answer.” The prince sighed: “But I’m old now and death can come knocking at any moment. I’m certain that it is time to know. Sir, you are the only person I know to have come back alive, so I want to ask, is there hope for them to come back?”

The question wasn’t whimsical for him since he wanted to ask a very long time ago. Alas, he was afraid of hearing the wrong answer.

“Perhaps this will be my last time seeing you since you’ll be embarking on this path in the future. If I don’t ask you now, there might not be another chance later.” A weight seemed to be lifted off his shoulder.
