Chapter 527: Ruckus (2)
While news regarding the cultivation method was being spread everywhere.
Heart Cultivating Pavilion. A new meeting between all the elders was being held.
Elder Sun slammed his palm onto the table in fury and said, "Has Su Yu forgotten that he has obtained this research center from the academy? He should have reported his research results to the faculty and the academy first. He shouldn't have sold it privately, even if the buyer is the Xia Family! According to the rules, the academy should enjoy the right of first refusal. We are not trying to steal his research results. But he has indeed broken the rules."
A few elders nodded upon hearing that. They were not picking a fight for no reason. This was indeed the academy rules.
After all, one had received the research center from the academy. And one was still a member of the academy. It was reasonable that the academy should get the priority to purchase any research results instead of outsiders, even if the outsider was the Xia Family.
This was why Elder Sun was furious. Of course, he was also furious due to the impact of this cultivation method on Su Yu's reputation. Even the multiple character faction might rise again due to this.
Prior to this, Su Yu's reputation had actually been partially destroyed. He was known as a student who was consorting with the myriad races. But with this cultivation method, none of that mattered anymore.
That was especially true for those from the war academies. For now, they had yet to witness the result of cultivating this method. The moment they saw the result, Su Yu would turn into a living legend for many warriors.
The single character faction's plan to destroy his reputation had completely failed.
These days, Su Yu had remained completely silent, providing no explanation regarding the scandal involving him and the myriad races. Elder Sun had been very happy to see that, believing that they had successfully suppressed Su Yu. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
But in the blink of an eye, Su Yu had turned into a model cultural researcher. If this continued, the multiple character faction might really rise from the dead.
Looking at Wan Tiansheng, Elder Sun solemnly said, "I know that everyone is currently praising Su Yu for his incredible talent. He is a rising star in the field of research. But rules are rules. Principal, you need to be fair."
Wan Tiansheng nodded. He was about to speak when someone else said, "Old Sun, why are you so agitated? In the future, be sure to read the rules properly before you cry about something. According to the academy rules, the first priority will go to the members of the research center, not the academy. And Xia Huyou is a member of that research center. There is no point in trying to hide this anymore, right? Xia Huyou is the son of Prefect Xia. He represents the Xia Family.
"Su Yu had given the Xia Family the first offer to purchase his research result. And the Xia Family had purchased it. No rules were broken in the process."
Elder Qi grinned and continued, "Even if the cultivation method was sold to the Wu Family, the Zheng Family, or the Hu Family, it would still be within the rules. The members of the research center have a higher level of priority than the academy itself. I hope you can understand this."
Elder Sun's face turned stiff, but he recovered immediately and said, "Xia Huyou and the others do not hold any ownership over the research center."
"You're wrong." Elder Qi said, "Su Yu's starting fund and resources had all been provided by these people. Hong Tan's debt of 300,000 had been transferred to Su Yu after he was made the leader of the multiple character faction. He is basically a faction master at this point. Although that faction doesn't exist officially anymore, he has still taken on the debt. Since those people are the investors, they are basically the co-owners. You can't deny that. Thus, no rules have been broken.
"Old Sun, stop being so selfish all the time. As a Mountainsea, you keep picking fights with a student. Are you not embarrassed? If you're unhappy about something, go look for Hong Tan. Su Yu probably knows the academy rules better than you. Without any confidence, would he do something like this? What a clown."
Elder Qi continued, "Why don't you ask Vice Principal Xia. Is there anything wrong with selling it to the Xia Family?"
"..."
Xia Changqing was somewhat speechless. Asking him about it?
Fuck!
What in the world should he say?
"We'll talk about this again at the end of the year."
Wan Tiansheng did not care about that topic. He said, "The Talent Fostering Bureau would also be involved in the approval. You don't need to worry about this, Elder Sun. You should worry about your own business first."
Wan Tiansheng's attitude seemed rather abnormal today. Elder Sun frowned. In the past, Wan Tiansheng would not involve himself in these internal conflicts. But today, the principal had shut him down several times.
"Principal..."
"This meeting ends here." Wan Tiansheng impatiently said, "You guys have been calling for meetings again and again for something insignificant. For some matters concerning some students, a bunch of Mountainseas have repeatedly wasted everyone's time. For these meetings, some people have to leave seclusion while some have to put their research on pause. All that for the sake of discussing these trivial matters?
"Sun Xiang, Yu Hong, if the two of you have so much free time, use it to teach your students properly. Nothing is a stronger statement than actually producing several outstanding students of your own. That way, you wouldn't need to personally deal with some students again and again anymore."
For Mountainseas to personally get involved in a fight between students was indeed embarrassing. Elder Sun and the others sank into silence. Inwardly, they were cursing. If their students could compete against Su Yu, would they still need to do all this? The issue was that their students weren't Su Yu's match.
...
The meeting ended.
Elder Sun and company left silently.
While walking, Elder Sun said, "If this continues, all our hard work from before will go to waste."
The other elders had nothing to say.
Elder Sun said, "At the top, we can't suppress Hong Tan. At the middle, we can't suppress Chen Yong and Bai Feng. And now, we can't even touch Su Yu and Wu Jia anymore. So what if we have more people? With only a few people, they are turning us into clowns. What can we even achieve in the future with such a terrible performance?"
They didn't know what to feel.
"Old Zhou was absent from the meeting."
Elder Sun asked, "What is he thinking?"
Yu Hong said, "He has entered seclusion to break through into the Sunmoon Realm. If he really manages to break through, it would benefit us as well."
"Hong Tan is also in seclusion. We have to take this seriously. If Hong Tan manages to break through while Old Zhou fails, they will gain an advantage over us. Thus, we have to deal with Su Yu ourselves."
Zhou Mingren's seclusion was a good thing for them. At the very least, he had to remain in the same realm as Hong Tan. Otherwise, things would be even more troublesome after Hong Tan ended his seclusion.
Elder Sun sighed and started using voice transmission, "We need to deal with Su Yu. Since we can't make a move ourselves, let's make use of the Foreign Students Faculty instead. It would be even better if they could end him once and for all. Tell them to think of a way to solve this issue. For those weak races, they won't be able to become the allies of humanity without paying a price. If they complete the job, we can introduce some single character faction Sunmoons to them."
The human race was a powerful race. In the eyes of Elder Sun and the others, those weak races weren't even qualified to become their allies.
Some of these races were only led by Mountainseas. The single character faction could eliminate a few of these races just by themselves. That was referring to the single character faction of only Great Xia.
Both Yu Hong and Elder Li remained silent.
They walked in silence. They had been suppressing the multiple character faction for so many years. But because of Su Yu, almost all their previous efforts had gone to waste. They were finding it hard to accept this.
