I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples-Chapter 36

Taking A Seat!

Northern Region.

The Hidden Dao Academy here was more prosperous than the Academy in the Southern Region.

This was the first impression it gave Ye Qiubai and the others.

There were many disciples, and at the same time, there were various mystic realms in the academy.

However, what was different was that the Northern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy was even more oppressive than the Southern Region.

Dean Ru explained, “The Hidden Dao Academy of the Northern Region emphasizes on survival of the fittest.”

“You will be eliminated here if you fall slightly behind others.”

Hearing this, everyone came to a realization.

Under such a high-pressure environment, it was normal for him to be ranked first if he was strong.

However, Ye Qiubai preferred the atmosphere of the Hidden Dao Academy in the Southern Region.

Discussing martial arts and sparring to confirm his understanding.

It looked very peaceful.

At this moment, a few old men came forward.

The leader was an old man with long eyebrows and beard.

He bowed slightly and smiled. “Welcome, everyone. The residence has been arranged. Please follow me.”

This person was Elder Ru of the Northern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy, Nie Qing.

The Martial Hall Elder explained.

Someone from the Northern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy whispered as everyone headed for their residence.

His words were filled with disdain.

“These people are from the desolate land of the Southern Region, right?”

“Yes, I’m here to participate in the Four Regions Academy exchange.”

“With just them? Their realm doesn’t seem to be as high as mine. I’m afraid there’s no need for Senior Brother Jian to take action, right?”

Their conversation reached everyone’s ears clearly.

Huo Qingming said angrily, “They’re looking down on us too much!”

Xin Hongyi also took out the sword in her hand and said coldly, “I want to see how strong they are.”

Lin Ce’s expression was also extremely ugly.

Huang Yuan said calmly, “There’s no need to fight for a temporary benefit. Save your strength for tomorrow’s martial arts exchange.”

Huo Qingming snorted and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Xin Hongyi didn’t listen. She was about to take a step forward when Ye Qiubai grabbed her.

“There’s indeed no need. We’ll just use our strength to slap their faces tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Xin Hongyi put away the sword in her hand.

Huang Yuan glanced at Ye Qiubai.

Previously, what he said was useless, but Ye Qiubai persuaded him…

The group arrived at their residence.

The Northern Region Hidden Dao Academy did not play any low-level tricks. The residence arranged was not bad.

“Tomorrow is the martial arts exchange. Please rest well.”

After saying this, Nie Qing left.

Dean Ru and the Martial Hall Elder also followed. Clearly, they wanted to discuss something.

As for Qin Tiannan, he left after stepping into the Northern Region.

Seeing the two elders leave, Huo Qingming cursed angrily, “They’re really relying on their power! Didn’t they just get first place a few times? I’ll take them down this time!”

Lin Ce said with an ugly expression, “We can see the real deal tomorrow.”

Ye Qiubai shrugged and was about to go back to cultivate.

Another group of people pushed open the courtyard door and walked in without greeting.

“Who are you?”

Zhong Wu frowned slightly and said, “Aren’t you polite?”

One of the tall and thin men sneered. “What etiquette do I need to show to a Southern Barbarian?”

“You!”

Huang Yuan pulled Huo Qingming back and walked forward. “If you’re just here to provoke me, then save it.”

The man in the lead glanced coldly at the tall and thin man.

Seeing this, the tall and thin man shut up.

“I’m sorry, everyone. My junior brother was too rash.”

“I’m here to invite everyone to the banquet.”

“The prodigies of the Four Regions Academy will be invited to the banquet tonight. It will also be convenient for us to get to know the young talents of the Four Domains.”

Huang Yuan pondered for a moment and looked at everyone.

Clearly, he was asking for the opinions of Ye Qiubai and the others.

Huo Qingming snorted and did not say anything.

Xin Hongyi saw Ye Qiubai nod and nodded as well.

Zhong Wu and Lin Ce had no objections.

Only then did Huang Yuan say, “Alright, we’ll attend the banquet on time tonight.”

Seeing this, the man nodded in satisfaction. “Then I’ll be waiting for you.”

With that, they left.

Lin Ce said calmly, “This banquet is probably a Hongmen

Banquet

. It’s meant to figure out the strength of the various regions.”

Zhong Wu nodded and agreed. “That should be the goal. When the time comes, I’ll probably have to show my strength.”

Huang Yuan also said, “Try your best to preserve your trump cards and not expose them. Focus on communication. If we’re still last this time, I’m afraid our Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy will be taken over by others.”

The Main Academy would send others to take over the academy once they ranked last several times.

At that time, Qin Tiannan would also be punished.

This was something none of them wanted to see.

Therefore, Huo Qingming, who was the most impulsive here, nodded with a solemn expression.

Huang Yuan looked at Ye Qiubai and said, “Also, people from the Sunset Dynasty might appear at the banquet. You have to endure it.”

Ye Qiubai’s matter was not a secret. It had spread throughout Tianyuan City after all. One could know the entire story with a little inquiry.

Ye Qiubai’s indifferent eyes couldn’t help but freeze. He lowered his eyebrows and didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Huang Yuan did not say anything else.

Even his master praised Ye Qiubai’s talent after all.

Time passed quickly until evening.

Huang Yuan and the others went to the banquet.

The banquet began in the Martial Hall.

At this moment, there were more than a hundred tables and chairs in the Martial Hall. On each table was all kinds of food.

However, those with ulterior motives could discover that the closer the tables and chairs were to the back, the simpler the food became!

The closer one got to the first seat, the more delicious food became!

Zhong Wu could not help but smile. “Looks like there’s a special program.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked over.

“Everyone should have seen the table and chairs in front of you. Take your seats if you like to eat.”

“Of course, you have to fight for the position yourself. If someone takes a fancy to a table of food at the same time, you have to negotiate with them yourselves.”

This person’s words were very polite, however, everyone present could hear the meaning in these words.

They needed to fight for the position!

The one who won would be qualified to sit down and enjoy it!

After saying that, the man sat down at the head of the table and smiled. “Of course, it’s not impossible if you want to eat what’s on my table, as long as you have the strength to match it.”

“Alright, everyone, take your seats.”

No one moved immediately.

However, in just a few breaths of time, a man walked out with a bright smile and said, “Since everyone is so humble, I won’t be polite.”

With that, he jumped to the seat below the first place and sat down.

“Anyone who wants this table can come now.”

Seeing this, people walked out and sat at the table.

However, no one wanted to snatch the position for the time being!

A banquet set up with the aim of murdering a guest. It refers to a famous episode in 206 BC when future Han emperor Liu Bang escaped an attempted murder by his rival Xiang Yu.
