Chapter 1589: War Fires Anew
Jiu Xiu Grand Scholar wasn't exactly some paragon of clearheadedness, but as the Chief Grand Scholar, he still had sound basic judgment.
Shuijing Grand Scholar might have acted like he owned the place, but one thing was certain: Five Elements Academy had run into serious trouble. Otherwise, with its money-loving ways, why would it suddenly fall out with its wealthy patron, Titan Academy, and so urgently seek an alliance with Taiyi Academy?
"Tong Ye, we have plenty of eyes and ears planted in Five Elements Academy. Has any new intelligence come in?"
Tong Ye had been overseeing Taiyi Academy's day-to-day affairs for the past few days. If any intelligence had come in, it would have been brought to him first.
"Chief, nothing new has come in yet. I expect things are urgent, so Shuijing came straight here. He may have gotten here faster than our intelligence could reach us."
Jiu Xiu Grand Scholar considered that for a moment, then agreed. "We'll wait for the intelligence to arrive. If that's really what's happening, we'll sit back and watch them fight. Let the two sides beat each other to a pulp."
As the two spoke, the head of the academy's Intelligence Division hurried in.
He was a Gold Ribbon Grand Scholar, and had originally come to see Grand Scholar Tong Ye, the Purple Gold Ribbon Grand Scholar in charge of daily operations.
Seeing the Chief Grand Scholar there as well was even better.
"Chief, Grand Scholar Tong Ye, it's a good thing you're both here. Early this morning, the Intelligence Division received two urgent reports in succession. Both were marked with a purple star—the highest classification. I didn't dare delay, so I brought them here at once."
Oh?
Two top-class reports back-to-back meant something major had happened.
