Ever since learning that Ye Qiubai and others, as well as Lu Changsheng, all came from the Southern Region Hidden Dao Academy's Cottage.
Countless people dream of making a pilgrimage to the Cottage, hoping to find the Daoist Dao Rhyme left behind by Lu Changsheng and his companions.
Wherever a powerful figure has been, they usually leave behind Dao Rhyme, or even their legacy. Although Lu Changsheng wouldn't do that, doesn't this leave clues for finding him?
It's like a fugitive on the run, leaving behind a bunch of footprints and clues along the way.
However, this did not stop others from believing that Lu Changsheng had left behind Dao Rhyme, and they continued to flock to him.
This is why so many people want to join the Hidden Dao Academy.
Even the entire mountain of Cottage was moved away by Lu Changsheng...
There's nothing I can do; Lu Changsheng is quite sentimental... and he's not a fan of sleeping in the same bed...
When I heard their voices
Qin Tiannan and the elders all turned their heads to look behind them with expressions of horror.
Logically speaking, given the current status of the Hidden Dao Academy, no one should dare to trespass into this place without prior notification.
However, when they saw the familiar man in white, they all breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although their eyes were filled with pride, they still spoke to the man in white with annoyance, "What, you, the Cottage, have finally decided to show yourself?"
These words were spoken by the Sword Hall Elder.
The Confucian Academy rolled his eyes and said, "You've moved the entire mountain of thatched Cottage, what's wrong with saying a few words to you?"
Qin Tiannan nodded in agreement and said seriously, "You're always so elusive, appearing and disappearing like a dragon without a trace. You're supposed to be giving those students a lecture, but you vanish like a ghost. What's wrong with saying a few words to you?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes widened. "I finally managed to come back, and this is how you scold me? Isn't everyone supposed to respect the strong? Is this how you treat me?"
The Confucian Academy snorted, "The classics also say we should respect our elders."
"What about Ai You? Did you forget the last two words?"
"Respect the elderly first, then care for the young!"
Lu Changsheng gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of a scholar, your logic is truly impeccable."
After a slight pause, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lu Changsheng's expression also softened slightly.
The people here are all his elders, people he has lived with day and night since he came to this world.
There's none of the backstabbing and scheming of the world of fame and fortune, nor the distant, overly respectful attitude that comes with becoming stronger.
Lu Changsheng liked this relaxed environment.
"Alright, stop fooling around. I didn't expect Elder Du to be back. Ever since he suddenly disappeared, we all thought something had happened to Elder Du."
As they were talking, Qin Tiannan stood up and came to Du Zhong, bowing respectfully.
The elders also rose and respectfully bowed to Du Zhong.
According to seniority, Du Zhong is of a higher seniority than everyone else present.
This bow was perfectly normal.
Lu Changsheng, standing to the side, complained, "This old man is the Cottage, but so am I! Why should we treat him with such respect?"
Qin Tiannan waved his hand and said, "You step aside first."
Lu Changsheng: "???"
Du Zhong glanced at Lu Changsheng, then said, "Something came up, but I didn't expect it to take so long."
Seeing that Du Zhong didn't say much, Qin Tiannan naturally didn't ask any further questions. "Anyway, it's good that Elder Du is back. Is he leaving again now that he's back?"
Du Zhong thought for a moment and said, "We'll see, but I'll be staying at the academy for a while."
Lu Changsheng seized the opportunity to say, "Let the old man preach; he's better than me."
Qin Tiannan patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder. "Don't be modest. Every time you give a lecture, a large number of students break through their limitations. We've all seen it."
The elders all nodded in agreement.
Lu Changsheng's lips twitched.
"Alright," Du Zhong interrupted, "Let's catch up later, let's go back to the Cottage first."
Qin Tiannan nodded. "Okay, then we'll..."
Du Zhong waved his hand. "It's alright, we'll go ourselves. We won't forget the way."
After saying that, the two of them vanished from the spot in an instant.
Qin Tiannan said helplessly, "I wonder what level they've reached. They appeared and left without making a sound."
"Why think so much? We couldn't see through them anyway. We might as well think about how to use their time to teach the students more. Who knows when they'll run off again." The Martial Hall Elder shrugged.
"Okay, let's discuss this first and schedule some classes for them."
For a moment, Qin Tiannan and the elders let out a sinister, smirking laugh.
Even if they are powerful, they still need to be squeezed a little.
The original site of the Cottage.
Du Zhong stared at the vast plain before him, his brow twitching. He hesitated for a long time before turning to Lu Changsheng beside him and finally said, "You didn't leave behind a single plot of land..."
Lu Changsheng touched his nose and chuckled dryly, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to just move the whole mountain?"
Du Zhong sighed, then flicked his sleeve.
Instantly, the earth shook!
The once flat ground cracked open at that moment!
At the center of the crack, a giant mountain slowly rises!
Students who meditated around the Cottage, attempting to sense the Dao Rhyme of the place, were all taken aback.
"What happens?!"
In their sight, a mountain rose abruptly from the ground.
Soaring straight into the sky!
Who dares to cause such a commotion at the Cottage?
The students present were all outstanding young talents; none of them were unintelligent.
Looking around, no academy deacon, enshrined member, or elder came.
There's only one possibility.
It was tacitly approved by the college.
Who would dare to establish a separate household in this Cottage?
The answer is self-evident.
Everyone's expressions gradually became excited, and they all rushed towards that mountain!
Without turning his head, Lu Changsheng said, "The students have all arrived."
Du Zhong laughed and said, "You'll let them come over?"
Lu Changsheng shrugged, his fingers twitching slightly as he crossed his arms.
An invisible barrier appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the area within a ten-mile radius of the mountains.
The arriving students were stopped outside, and someone was about to call out Lu Changsheng's name.
But then a voice echoed throughout the entire academy.
" The Cottage is being rebuilt; no one is allowed to approach it!"
It's Qin Tiannan.
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "It seems the dean is quite sensible."
Qin Tiannan's words rang out again. "After the enrollment period ends, Hall Master Lu Changsheng will personally give a sermon to all students. Students, please wait patiently."
Du Zhong smiled and looked at Lu Changsheng: "What did you say?"
Lu Changsheng almost jumped up and cursed, "I say the dean is a real scoundrel!"
Du Zhong said, "I actually find Qin Tiannan quite pleasing to the eye..."
Qin Tiannan added, "By the way, the former hall master will also be giving a sermon."
Du Zhong: "Your mother!"
In a short while, a mountain that had been buried in the clouds rose up, and the Cottage was rebuilt.
Du Zhong laughed and said, "Do you know why I was stationed here back then, and why you appeared at the Cottage as soon as you came to this world?"
Lu Changsheng said, "Didn't you bring me here?"
Du Zhong shook his head, looked at the mountain in front of him, and waved his hand. A spatial passage appeared above the mountain!
Lu Changsheng looked over, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
There... is a blue planet...
