I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 1643 - 86: White, Green, Vermillion, Yellow, Purple

"The true person spares no effort to come to Red Cloud Mountain to maintain the Dragon Gate, it is only proper for Unparalleled City to offer preferential treatment; otherwise, others might think The Academy is crude and ignorant of respect."

Tang Luo waved his hand: "The Five-turn Dragon Gate will be placed at the main entrance of the academy. Please arrange an elegant separate residence for Elder Du Wei, and also arrange a few clever children for the true person to dispatch."

In real-life society, often times, words spoken have more than just their surface meaning; one must understand the deeper implications hidden behind them.

Just like the three elders of the Du Family all have different roles in Unparalleled City, a task such as building houses should logically fall to Du Ting, yet Tang Luo specifically appointed Du Wei.

If one said that Tang Luo had just returned to the city and randomly appointed someone without knowing the details, it would be normal, but knowing the situation well and still appointing Du Wei, there seems to be some nuances here.

Combining the special instructions Tang Luo gave to Du Ting before leaving, as well as his strange behavior after the abruptly ended meeting, Du Wei suddenly realized that his brother must still have important matters to discuss with the headmaster.

But how to divert Miaowei the true person?

Du Wei turned and sized up the Daoist with a rosacea nose, noticed the wine jug on his waist, his eyes lit up with a spark: "The true person traveled far, how can we neglect you, but Red Cloud Mountain is barren with nothing much offering except for some particular teas and wines. Would the true person care to taste?"

Originally, Miaowei wanted to say there is no need for trouble, but upon hearing the words ’tea and wine’, he swung down his raised hand heavily: "Oh? Red Cloud Mountain even produces wine? Why haven’t I heard of this before?"

"Red Cloud Mountain itself doesn’t produce wine, but due to disaster in Xiling, many winemakers sought refuge here and stayed, thus the renowned wines of Xiling are now available on Red Cloud Mountain. But I’m not sure if they are to the true person’s liking."

Du Wei spoke tactfully, but Miaowei’s eyes grew brighter as his nostrils flared up, and his belly yearned for the wine.

"The old Daoist has heard that Xiling once had ten famous wines but was ruined by floods. I thought I had missed these wines, but who knew fate could bring them back?"

Miaowei Daoist’s eyes lit up, he became so distracted that he waved his hand: "Arranging the residence can wait a moment, tasting the fine wine is the priority for now."

"As it should be, as it should be."

Du Wei, with a smile, saw off Miaowei Daoist. Only Tang Luo and Du Ting, Du Ting were left on the back mountain.

"This true person certainly knows how to be pleasant, but he is after all from the Xuanji Sect, if he stays long in Unparalleled City, your identity as headmaster... might not be easy to conceal."

After Miaowei the true person walked far away, Du Ting approached Tang Luo, speaking in a low voice.

"No need to worry about that, The Academy has its solution."

Tang Luo waved his hand: "How are the tasks you were given coming along?"

"Reporting back to the headmaster, the tasks you assigned have been completed. Furthermore, during your absence, rumors swelled within the city. Aside from the resentments of the first batch of expelled students, many spies from Wind Media incited more trouble."

Du Ting spoke somberly: "Not only changes within the city, but also the external perception towards the academy has drastically shifted."

"Have you found out who is behind fueling this?"

While speaking with Du Ting, Tang Luo pointed at Du Ling and at two jade pillars standing on the back mountain: "Move these two jade pillars to the front entrance of the academy, and also post a notice tonight, announcing the academy will reopen for enrollment tomorrow."

"Additionally..."

Tang Luo took out a jade slip from his sleeve and tossed it to Du Ling: "Spread this news as fast as possible."

After instructing Du Ling, Tang Luo turned and walked towards the back mountain, Du Ting quickly followed until they entered the cave, then he continued the previously interrupted report.

"There are many forces fueling the situation, a list is being compiled, but..."

"But what?"

"From the information we’ve gathered so far, these hostile forces towards Unparalleled City are all instructed by the Celestial King patrols."

"Celestial King patrols?"

"Yes."

Du Ting nodded: "According to the reports from several scouts of Marshal Star Pavilion, the spread of these rumors has traces of coordination by the Celestial King patrols."

"Alright, I understand." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Tang Luo nodded: "Since the Celestial King patrols are involved, there’s no need to dispatch Wind Media to investigate. Call everyone back and have them fully cooperate with Du Ling!"

"As you command."

Dragon Continent Calendar 1792, first day of August

This is a special day for Dragon Continent and the whole territory of Xiehe. Unparalleled Academy, which was originally quite lifeless, suddenly burst with sensational news, saying they found a perfect method to test the accumulation of Spiritual Power in Mortal Realm, asserting that enough accumulation guarantees a complete Soul Casting.

Initially, Wind Media had little enthusiasm for spreading news about Unparalleled Academy, but they couldn’t resist this astounding news.

Although they were very resistant at first, after one night of reading the refreshed notice board, these city-subordinate Wind Media still couldn’t sit still, and spread the news at the fastest speed.

Compared to the rivers and lakes’ rumors that one’s fate in Soul Casting relies on mere luck, Unparalleled Academy struck a real blow at the soft belly of prestigious families.

The first to receive the news, the Liu, Nong, and He families were stunned upon holding the intelligence.

Firstly, they were amazed that Unparalleled Academy so easily revealed the secrets of breaking the boundary, fiercely guarded by prestigious families.

Secondly, they also pondered whether this so-called method of testing the foundation is true or false.

If it’s fake, there’s nothing much to discuss, after all, knowing when the accumulation is sufficient has become a deep concern for all the lineages and sects of Xiehe. Despite big data analysis suggesting that the accumulation required to break the boundary is approximately three times that from the initial to peak stage, there are still disciples failing every year.
