"Dean, what have you been busy with recently?"

Lian Pihou looked puzzled. "Recruiting disciples! In the past few days, not a single young person has fallen for it. Ahem... no young person is willing to join our Tianshu Immortal Academy."

When he spoke the latter part, Lian Pihou's tone was quite guilty and his eyes flickered a little.

Yun Zheng sighed softly, "Dean, stop lying to young people. Let me give you a suggestion. The eight major academies are about to start the competition for quotas, and the disciples of the other seven major academies are almost saturated. There is definitely no shortage of disciples participating in the competition. But we are different!"

"We are still short of dozens of disciples to participate in the competition. Do you think other young people in Langzhou want to compete for a place in the Tongxian Secret Realm?"

Lian Pihou's eyes lit up instantly.

"Yes, they will definitely come here for the quota!"

Lian Pihou said excitedly, "I will now make a plan to recruit disciples."

Yun Zheng calmly stopped Lian Pihou, "Dean, don't be impatient. I have a few more points to add. Let them bid for a spot in the Eight Immortal Academies competition. That way, we can subsidize Tianshu Immortal Academy's expenses. Also, we have to consider their character and personality. We can't just hire them casually."

"These people are here for the quota, so they definitely don't have their sights set on our Tianshu Immortal Academy. Therefore, Dean, you can tell them in advance how long they will stay at Tianshu Immortal Academy. This will be good for them and also solve our urgent needs."

After hearing these words, Lian Pihou couldn't help but admire Yun Zheng. He felt more and more that it was an absolutely wise choice to make the girl the eldest sister of Tianshu Immortal Academy!

This girl is so smart!

The logic is well-organized and to the point!

Yun Zheng continued, "Dean, you must explain to them in advance that only the places they earn through personal battle are truly theirs. The places earned by other disciples of Tianshu Immortal Academy have nothing to do with them."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lian Pihou responded excitedly and looked at Yun Zheng with more appreciation.

After discussing this matter, Lian Pihou left the North Courtyard in a happy mood.

Yun Zheng glanced at Lian Pihou's departing figure, then looked away. Just as she was about to step onto the stairs, she spotted a scrap of clothing quickly passing by the gate. It seemed to be...

Yun Zheng's eyes moved slightly, she suppressed the matter in her heart, and then walked into the north courtyard.

…

The other side.

Demon Realm, District 2.

Old Yuan half-knelt, facing the front, and presented a small palace emitting a faint glow with both hands. The next moment, the small palace was sucked into the hands of the woman sitting on the throne.

The Crystal Moon Palace seemed to exude a pleasant atmosphere, and it was also intimately close to the woman's skin.

The woman's eyes were deep and unclear, but she still signed a contract with Shuiyue Crystal Palace first.

In an instant, the light of the contract appeared.

When the light dimmed, the Water Moon Crystal Palace sank into the woman's body. The woman glanced at Yuan Lao, who was kneeling on the ground, with a cold expression on her face, and said two words in a somewhat casual voice.

"Tell me."

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan bowed his head respectfully and reported word for word, "I have been searching the Five Provinces for some time and finally found a young girl in Lang Province, one of them. She was carrying the Water Moon Crystal Palace. Before I could personally retrieve it, she offered it to me, saying that a senior had asked her to return it to you."

"I didn't kill her, but I left a spiritual mark on her body. If Your Highness wants to kill her, I will immediately hunt her down."

Old Yuan bowed his head and reported, his expression unclear. In his heart, he actually knew who the 'senior' the girl was talking about was. It was probably the Haibei Star God from the God Realm.

Before Kong'e became the Demon Emperor, he had heard that Kong'e had an ill-fated relationship with the Haibei Star God. Now that the Haibei Star God has completely fallen, his inheritance probably fell on the hands of the young girl, who is equivalent to the heir of the Haibei Star God.

Therefore, he did not dare to take the girl's life easily.

After all, he couldn't tell what His Highness Kong'e was thinking right now. Was he lingering in memory, or was he filled with deep hatred?

The Demon Emperor Kong'e remained calm and his eyes remained icy cold.

"Girl?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Kong'e Demon Emperor's voice was extremely cold. "Why don't you capture her? I also want to see what that person's eyes are like."

Yuan Lao said in a fearful tone, "Your Highness, the girl is accompanied by an envoy from the Five Provinces. I was afraid that this would bring trouble to Your Highness, so I did not arrest her. If Your Highness wishes to see her, I will set off for Langzhou immediately."

After those words fell, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence.

Demon Emperor Kong'e lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mr. Yuan didn't even dare to say a word.

After a long time, Demon Emperor Kong'e slowly raised his eyes with a calm expression.

“No need.”

"My Lord has ordered the destruction of the 'Nameless Land' in the Five States, and the pursuit of a single individual. That individual is... Rong Shuo, the Son of the Five States! My Lord has commanded that Rong Shuo, the Son of the Five States, must be reduced to ashes, never to be reborn. This matter, a mere Son of the Five States, will be handled by you. You must act in secret, and destroy his very spirit and soul."

"I obey your command!" Upon hearing this, Yuan Lao's expression instantly became serious and he immediately agreed.

My Lord is...

Demon!

But what puzzled him was that the Lord Demon God had awakened? Had the seal of the Lord Demon God been broken?

The Demon Emperor Kong'e seemed to see through his thoughts at a glance and rebuked him in a deep voice: "Don't try to guess my master's whereabouts!"

"I dare not!" Old Yuan was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

"Back off."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Old Yuan hurriedly left the hall, leaving Demon Emperor Kong'e alone.

Kong'e summoned the Water Moon Crystal Palace again, stared at it for a while, then closed his eyes and reached into it, using his spiritual sense to perceive it, as if he wanted to know what had happened in the Water Moon Crystal Palace before.

However, what she didn't expect was that she saw the residual soul of the Haibei Star God sitting quietly in front of the chessboard day after day, year after year, his expression remained calm and relaxed.

It’s the same chess game every time.

But it's a dead end every time.

The Demon Emperor Kong'e was shocked, and her beautiful face was stained with an indescribable emotion. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly opened her eyes, and her deep purple eyes were filled with strong resentment.

She sneered.

"Gou Haibei!"

"You were the one who betrayed me first! How ridiculous! What are you pretending for?! Back then..."

Having said this, her expression gradually calmed down, but her eyes were still filled with resentment and a deep chill.

The past is really hard to look back on.

The more I look back on my past experiences, the more hurt I feel.

Gou Haibei, this time, we are separated by life and death, and time will gradually erase the traces you left behind...

But I will never forgive you.

forever.
