Beichen Academy

"Beichen Academy"

Ning Fengzhi repeated those four words softly, a polite smile on his face, as if it were just a casual compliment.

However, in his heart, a monstrous storm was brewing at this moment!

Three years ago, Rongrong woke up from that strange dream. After learning some things about the dream from Rongrong, he has been making preparations in advance. He even sent many people to explore the Beichen Mountain Range, which are the most suitable place for the Beichen Academy in the Star Luo Empire.

The result was that nothing was gained.

The Beichen Mountain Range stretch for thousands of miles, but there are hardly any decent buildings, let alone an Academy.

This includes the two people in Rongrong's dream that she later mentioned—one was a blue-haired boy Tang San, whom Rongrong called "Third Brother" in the dream.

The other is a young man with black hair, whom Rongrong calls "Boss Dai," who is the new emperor of the Star Luo Empire in the dream.

Tang San investigated for a long time but found no clues.

And that "Boss Dai"...

Ning Fengzhi's heart stirred slightly.

The orphan of the Tianxing King who has risen to prominence in the Star Luo Empire in recent years is named Dai Tianyu.

With black hair, exceptional talent, and a member of the Star Luo Imperial House, he seems to be the most fitting person for the character of Boss Dai in Rongrong's dream.

After two years of investigation, he was basically certain that the "Boss Dai" in Rongrong's dream was him.

After that, he became even more convinced of the authenticity of Rongrong's dream, and he increased the number of people he sent to investigate the Spirit Hall and the Beichen Academy.

Now, Ning Fengzhi looked at the silver-haired, black-clad young man before him, his thoughts churning.

This person claims to be from the "Beichen Fu Clan" and wants to establish the "Beichen Academy".

There must be a connection between these two "Beichen".

However, in Rongrong's dream, there seems to be no mention of such a person as him.

However, Rongrong did mention in her dream that both Dai Tianyu, whose identity had been confirmed, and Tang San, whose identity had not been revealed, were disciples of the same person, and their common master had already become a god in Rongrong's dream!

And this person was none other than the mysterious Dean of the Beichen Academy, whom Rongrong had never mentioned in her dream!

Could it be...?

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi suppressed the Jingtao in his heart, and still wore that perfectly appropriate smile on his face.

He looked at Fu Shiyan and said in a sincere and gentle tone:

"It is truly a blessing for the younger generation of the continent that Your His Excellency Tianqing has such a grand ambition."

He paused, then continued:

"Does Your Majesty already have a preliminary plan regarding the academy's address, regulations, and admission standards? If there is anything the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School can do to help, Feng Zhi will certainly do his utmost."

Fu Shiyan glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was quite composed.

Even though his heart was in turmoil, he could maintain a perfectly composed demeanor on the surface.

He withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly:

"The location has been chosen. There's a Qinglan Mountain thirty miles Heaven Dou City. The mountain has gentle slopes and serene scenery. It's neither too far nor too close to the city, making it perfect for establishing a school."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said in agreement:

"Qinglan Mountain... is indeed a good place. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has several properties nearby. If Your Majesty needs them, they can be directly allocated to them, saving the trouble of land acquisition."

Fu Shiyan shook her head slightly:

"No need. That mountain is unclaimed land; we can simply report it to the Heaven Dou Imperial House. As for the regulations..."

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke:

"The first batch of students will tentatively consist of thirty. Background and social standing will not be a factor; only talent and character will be considered. Applicants must be between six and twelve years old, and their Soul Power must be at least level ten."

A strange light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

Between the ages of six and twelve, Soul Power must be no less than level ten.

This standard is undeniably high.

In ordinary families, reaching level 10 by age 12 is already considered quite good.

But then he thought about it again and realized it made sense.

If he really is the god-like master of Tang San and Dai Tianyu in Rongrong's dream, then his standards for accepting disciples would naturally be different from those of ordinary people.

Ning Fengzhi nodded, then asked:

"What about the teachers, facilities, and daily expenses..."

Fu Shiyan waved her hand and calmly replied:

"Fu has his own plans."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi did not ask any further questions.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty, Fengzhi has a request."

Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyan looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Ning Fengzhi a deep breath and said sincerely:

"Feng Zhi has a daughter named Rongrong, who is nine years old this year and Innate Soul Power at level nine."

"He was spoiled by me and the elders of the sect since he was a child, so he has a somewhat arrogant personality, but his talent is indeed not bad."

He looked at Fu Shiyan, his eyes filled with anticipation:

"If Your Majesty does not mind, Feng Zhi wishes to send my daughter to the Beichen Academy to study under Your Majesty."

Fu Shiyan looked at him, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

This Sect Master Ning is quite decisive.

He didn't answer immediately, but simply said:

"Sect Master Ning, you should think this through carefully. The rules of my Academy are different from those of other places."

"After enrollment, everything will be done according to the Academy's rules. Whether you are the sect leader's daughter or a commoner's child, you will only have one identity in the Academy —a student."

"No privileges, no exceptions. If you make a mistake, you will be punished accordingly. If you suffer injustice, you will bear it yourself."

After speaking, he looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked in a deep voice:

"So, Sect Master Ning is also willing?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi not only did not back down, but instead revealed a smile.

He bowed deeply to Fu Shiyan and replied sincerely:

"That's exactly right! Feng Zhi couldn't have asked for more."

Fu Shiyan looked at him, and after a moment nodded:

"In that case, once the Academy is completed, Sect Master Ning may send your daughter here."

Ning Fengzhi overjoyed upon hearing this and thanked him repeatedly.

Then, the two chatted for a long time, from the regulations of the Academy to the curriculum, from the admission standards to future prospects.

Ning Fengzhi was increasingly alarmed as he listened; this person's vision and perspective far exceeded his imagination.

What bothered him even more was that this person, despite being so young, spoke as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life and had a keen understanding of the ways of the world.

Before we knew it, the sun was almost at noon.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the sky, then got up to take his leave.

Before leaving, he bowed to Fu Shiyan once again and said:

"Your Majesty, please be sure to entrust the construction of the Academy to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"I dare not speak of other things, but the sect can certainly afford the financial and human resources. Consider it... Feng Zhi paying the tuition fee in advance for my daughter's enrollment."

Fu Shiyan looked at him and finally nodded:

"In that case, I thank Sect Master Ning."

Upon hearing Fu Shiyan's reply, Ning Fengzhi smiled broadly and repeatedly said, "You're too kind, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he turned around and beckoned to Bone Douluo had already finished his conversation with Tang Hao, to leave together.

As Ning Fengzhi stepped out of the courtyard, the smile on his face gradually faded.

Bone Douluo walked beside him and whispered:

"Feng Zhi, this person..."

"Unfathomable," Ning Fengzhi replied softly, then turned to look at Bone Douluo and asked:

"Uncle Gu, do you still remember what Rongrong said in her dream two years ago, that Tang San and Boss Dai had a common master?"
