"Elder Kong."
Inside the Worship Hall of the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, Jing Hongchen met Kong Deming.
"What brings you here?" Kong Deming asked, somewhat surprised.
Kong Deming stated his purpose directly. "Here's the situation. Today, I received a letter from Shrek Academy. I'd like you to take a look."
As he spoke, he took out Mu En's handwritten letter and handed it to Kong Deming.
A look of surprise flashed through Kong Deming's eyes as well.
But he said nothing more. After taking the letter, he began reading it carefully.
Jing Hongchen saw the astonishment in Kong Deming's eyes.
A long while later.
Kong Deming slipped the letter back into its envelope, turned his gaze to Jing Hongchen, and asked gravely, "Hall Master Hongchen, what do you think of Mu En's proposal from Shrek Academy?"
Jing Hongchen had already prepared his answer on the way over and replied immediately, "Elder Kong, I think this is a good thing. This would give Qin Xiao a chance to obtain Shrek Academy's cultivation method for ultimate martial souls. That would be an enormous boon to his future."
Kong Deming gave Jing Hongchen a long, searching look. "Do you think Shrek Academy will teach Qin Xiao its cultivation method for ultimate martial souls?"
Jing Hongchen smiled. "Before, we didn't have even the slightest chance of obtaining that method. Now, at least we have a sliver of hope, don't we? Man makes the plans; Heaven decides their success. I think even a sliver of hope is worth a try. Whether this succeeds will depend on Qin Xiao's fortune."
After hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Kong Deming looked thoughtful.
After a while.
He slowly exhaled. "You're right. This Exchange Student Program is indeed an opportunity. Go back and make the arrangements. You have my approval."
