Revisiting old haunts

Seeing the silence in the room, Elizabeth softened her tone and changed the subject.

"I know you are all angry."

"It's infuriating as it may be, but we can't let a moment of anger push the entire Fengying Country into an abyss of no return."

"The most important task at present is not seeking revenge, but making peace with Dong Huang and with that Heavenly King Qi Ye."

"This isn't admitting defeat, it's recognizing the times."

"It's so that the Fengying Country can survive in this new era."

"If they remain stubborn and refuse to see the truth, there will only be one outcome."

"The country perished."

Those last two words struck everyone's hearts like two heavy hammer blows.

A deathly silence fell over the entire room.

The arrogance of the Main Combat vanished instantly.

Those who advocated for peace also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Elizabeth looked around and, seeing that everyone was silent, slowly spoke.

"I have just received a message from the Feng Ying Royal Family."

"The current Dong Huang is not Feng Ying can afford to mess with. Salman's actions were his own fault; he has no one else to blame. As for the Congress, handle what needs to be handled and make the necessary statements. And then..."

She looked at one of the high-ranking officials.

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs, prepare a formal letter of apology to Dong Huang and to Old Master Xuanyuan in the name of the Feng Ying Royal Family. The wording should be sincere and the attitude humble. At the same time, send a delegation to Dong Huang with gifts to apologize in person."

"And... what about Salman?"

Someone asked.

Elizabeth closed her eyes.

"Remove him from all his posts, escort him back to the Divine Realm, and hand him over to Heavenly King Freya for his own disposal."

The Assembly Hall remained silent for a long time.

Then, one voice after another rang out.

"Agree."

"Agree."

I second that.

At this point, neither the Main Combat nor the pro-peace faction had any objections.

What's the use of being resentful?

They're better than you, what are you complaining about?

Elizabeth walked towards the door, and before opening it and leaving, she said one last thing.

"Remember, what Feng Ying should do most right now is to maintain good relations with Dong Huang. It's not about fear, it's about reality. Survival is more important than anything else."

Su Ye had no idea that his casual reprimand of those idiots, Feng Ying, would cause such a huge uproar on Blue Star.

In his view, it was nothing more than a trivial incident at a Birthday Banquet.

Once it's all done, it's over.

After celebrating the birthday of Old Master Xuanyuan and leaving behind a large amount of Cultivation Resources for the Xuanyuan Family and old friends, Su Ye and Xiao Qiyue gracefully departed.

It was as if all the storms and turmoil in the world had nothing to do with him.

On this triumphant return to his hometown, there are still many places he wants to visit.

Our first stop was Fangyuan City.

That was where he first awakened and where he first began.

It is also the place where countless old friends have been along that journey.

Fangyuan City, Fangyuan Second Middle School.

The plaque at the school gate was polished to a shine, and next to it hung a brand new, golden sign—"Heavenly King Qi Ye's Alma Mater."

Principal Zhang is as brilliant as ever...

As Su Ye walked through the campus with Xiao Qiyue, looking at the vibrant young faces, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Back then, he was just an ordinary teenager who was considered a good-for-nothing.

Who could have imagined that one day he would stand at the pinnacle of Human Race, looking down upon all living beings?

After walking around the school twice, the two quickly found Principal Zhang.

This former headmaster is quite remarkable now.

Because he had raised Su Ye, a hero of the Human Race, he was full of energy, and even the few remaining hairs on his head seemed to have become more spirited.

Upon seeing Su Ye, he rushed over in three strides, grabbed Su Ye's hands, and shook them vigorously.

"Su Ye! Welcome back to your alma mater! On behalf of all the teachers and students, I warmly welcome you!"

The excited Principal Zhang couldn't wait to convene a meeting of teachers and students, have Su Ye give a three-hour speech, and then have Principal Zhang himself give a three-day and three-night speech.

Otherwise, Principal Zhang's inner excitement could not be expressed.

Otherwise, one cannot truly express Old Zhang's excitement at having nurtured such Peerless Prodigy as Su Ye.

Then...

Taking advantage of Old Zhang's excitement, Su Ye left behind several Storage Bracelet and quickly ran away with Xiao Qiyue.

There wasn't even time to give the Storage Bracelet that had been prepared in advance to their teachers from back then.

That's terrifying.

I feel like Old Zhang is even more terrifying than the Demon Race Progenitor and the Night God!

After leaving Fangyuan Second Middle School, Su Ye took Xiao Qiyue to the Fangyuan City Patrol Bureau.

That was the first place to extend an olive branch after he awakened to his true nature.

Now, Zhang Baichuan has long been entrusted with important responsibilities and has left Fangyuan City.

However, there were quite a few of Su Ye's acquaintances in the Patrol Bureau. Su Ye left some good things for the Patrol Bureau and then left again.

And after this departure...

Su Ye then took Xiao Qiyue to Magic Capital.

Modu University.

This is the university where Su Ye once studied.

Although he didn't spend a long time at that school, he did spend a part of his youth there.

Today's Modu University are vastly different from what they used to be.

Because of Su Ye, Modu University, which was already a prestigious institution of higher learning, rose even higher and became a holy land that countless Martial Arts students across the entire Blue Star flocked to.

When it comes to Martial Arts University on Blue Star, Modu University is second to none.

A huge poster of Su Ye was even hung on campus.

They even want to erect a statue of Su Ye in front of the Martial Arts Hall.

But at this moment, as Su Ye and Xiao Qiyue walked through the campus, the students passing by seemed to completely ignore them.

The students passing by seemed oblivious to them, some engrossed in their phones, others reading, and still others chatting.

Su Ye used the Myriad Illusions Annihilation to conceal the figures and auras of the two, making them undetectable unless one was at the God Level or above.

As the two walked along the tree-lined path, looking at the sycamore trees by the roadside, the students running on the playground, and the long queues at the cafeteria entrance, Xiao Qiyue couldn't help but sigh.

"That's how we did it back when we were at Modu University."

Su Ye nodded.

You always steal my sweet and sour pork ribs from the cafeteria.

"That's because you don't like to eat it."

"I don't like it, yet you're taking it from me?"

"Since you don't like it, what's wrong with giving it to me?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The two walked and talked until they reached the teaching building.

Su Ye looked at the familiar building and suddenly became interested.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Xiao Qiyue naturally had no objections and followed Su Ye inside.

The door to the teachers' office was ajar, and the voices of several teachers could be heard coming from inside.

The name "Su Ye" was also mentioned vaguely.

Su Ye paused, raised an eyebrow, and became interested.

He was curious to hear what these teachers had to say about him.
