Upon hearing this remark, Qiangu Qingfeng glanced at him and said coldly, "Although everyone is well aware of such matters, they should never be spoken out loud; otherwise, it will only give other forces a handle to grasp onto!"
There were indeed many forces covertly coveting the Spirit Pagoda; had it not been for its own formidable strength, it would have been occupied long ago!
Seeing this, the Council Member immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes, Vice Tower Master!"
Even though Leng Yaozhu was the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, it was quite evident that the pressure brought by the former Tower Master and current Vice Tower Master was much more intense!
Only then did Leng Yaozhu, who sat in the main seat, speak up, "Apart from what the Vice Tower Master has said, does anyone else have any other opinions?"
All the Council Members shook their heads, clearly agreeing with Qiangu Qingfeng's words…
Seeing this, she could only sigh. Qiangu Qingfeng's abilities were too strong, which resulted in the meetings almost always being a two-person show between her and him!
Even though no one would object, gathering all the Council Members had become utterly pointless!
In helplessness, she still announced as she had done before, "Then this matter shall be managed by the Vice Tower Master, and all branches of the Spirit Transmission Tower must comply unconditionally!"
The Council Members once again said, "Yes, Pagoda Master!"
Qiangu Qingfeng nodded and continued, "Mm, let us now move on to the next matter…"
At that moment, surprise shone in Leng Yaozhu's Beautiful Eyes as she blurted out inadvertently, "Ah? There's another matter?"
She had been just about to announce the end of the meeting…
Seemingly hearing her complaint, Qiangu Qingfeng stroked his beard and said with a light laugh, "Of course, the reputation of our Spirit Pagoda is recovering swiftly, but in some aspects, we still need to strengthen our efforts!"
Leng Yaozhu awkwardly scratched her hair and said, "Then… Please continue, Vice Tower Master."
…
Finally, after several traditional hours, the meeting came to an end…
As she watched the Council Members leave one after another, Leng Yaozhu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and remarked, "It's finally over. I never thought that there would still be so many things to be cautious about in the current Spirit Pagoda!"
Especially the matter of mass replacing the staff of the Spirit Pagoda, which gave her a headache…
By her side, Qiangu Qingfeng reassured her, "Pagoda Master, these are necessary experiences. The Spirit Pagoda is a vast force; we can ensure there are no spies from other forces at our headquarters."
"But the branches are different, we cannot see clearly what is happening. Furthermore, some Council Members are unscrupulous when it comes to their interests!"
Leng Yaozhu nodded in agreement, "What the Vice Tower Master said is very true, about these matters..."
Before she could finish, Qiangu Qingfeng showed a mischievous smile and said, "Pagoda Master, are you planning to push all the matters onto me?"
Leng Yaozhu was at a loss for words and coughed to cover it up, "Cough cough… Isn't this because I trust the Vice Tower Master?"
She was increasingly regretting taking up the position of the Tower Master!
It was utterly exhausting!
Qiangu Qingfeng's expression turned complex as he said, "Although I wish I could manage the Spirit Pagoda forever, my body will only last a few more years at most!"
Being a brain specialist, he actually had many ways to prolong his life…
But they all had one condition, which was to conduct experiments on living people!
This was something he could never accept, no matter what. Therefore, he chose to devote all his time to aiding Leng Yaozhu become a qualified Pagoda Master!
In this way, he was also making amends for his past self!
...
On the other side, Cai Yue'er had already led the people from the Yuanen Clan to a place near the Inner Court…
She began to explain, "Elder Yuan'en, this is the area prepared by the Academy for the Yuanen Clan. Although it's a bit simple, there won't be any students here to disturb you on normal days!"
Yuan En Zhentian and the other clan members, upon hearing this, all cast their gazes over…
They discovered that the place was far better than they had imagined, and no one showed a look of displeasure…
Yuan En Zhentian withdrew his gaze and gratefully said, "Elder Cai is too kind. Considering how abruptly our Yuanen Clan decided to join Shrek Academy, having such treatment is already quite good."
Yuan En Tiandang also expressed his satisfaction, "That's right! Compared to our Yuanen Clan's previous location, this is not much different at all!"
Worthy of Shrek Academy, even a place lying idle was quite well-furnished.
Yuanen Yehui also revealed a smile, "Yes, and this time, only about half of our clanspeople have come. We should be able to accommodate everyone perfectly!"
Cai Yue'er also breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're satisfied. I was afraid the people of the Yuanen Clan would find it too simple and become dissatisfied!"
Yuan En Zhentian glanced at the clanspeople behind him and announced, "People of the Yuan En Clan, from today forward, this area in front of us will be where we live in the future."
"The space is enough to accommodate everyone, and no one will disturb us! Now, go inside and settle in…"
As soon as these words were spoken, the clanspeople, who were already eager, surged into the area and began to divide it up…
Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Cai Yue'er said, "If there's nothing else, Elder Yuan'en, I'll take my leave first!"
But Yuan En Zhentian suddenly stopped her, "Elder Cai, please wait a moment; there's one more thing I need your help with. There are already several dozen of our clanspeople who have reached the age for admission. How soon can they…"
Cai Yue'er paused, then patiently explained, "Elder Yuan'en, please rest assured on this matter. You only need to compile the information about those prospective students and hand it to me."
"For anyone who meets the admission requirements, they can officially enroll at the start of the next term!"
After giving a few more simple instructions, she turned and left…
Then, Yuan En Tiandang looked at Yuanen Yehui with eyes full of doting, "Yehui, it has been such a long time since we've talked, son. Let's go inside and have a chat."
To his surprise, Yuanen Yehui shook her head, "No, Father, there will be plenty of time for us to meet in the future. I'm going back to the Inner Court to cultivate!"
Because of that hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, she had already delayed much cultivation time; now, she was only focused on improving her strength!
Yuan En Tiandang did not expect to be refused and said in shock, "But today…"
Yuan En Zhentian directly interrupted him, waving his hand, "It's alright, Yehui, your cultivation takes priority. Go ahead."
Yuanen Yehui did not beat around the bush, respectfully said, "Okay, Father, Grandfather, I'm leaving now!"
After she had left, Yuan En Tiandang looked at Yuan En Zhentian with a face full of reproach, "I haven't spoken with Yehui for such a long time, why did you interfere!?"
Yuan En Zhentian rebuked him without a good temper, "Hmph, wasn't it you who always pushed Yehui to cultivate. Now that you got what you wanted, what else do you want to do?"
The latter's eyes dimmed, and he said somewhat despondently, "I… I just fear losing Yehui again…"
Yuan En Zhentian's heart softened, and he patted his shoulder, "The past is already behind us, and if Yehui were still alive, she wouldn't want you to be stuck in the shadows forever…"
"Yes…"
