After all, we're talking about some old issues now, and everyone knows why they're here.
"This, this..."
This question stumped them; they weren't the ones who built the stage.
"This 'Journey to the West' is mainly for people to watch and have fun during their breaks."
Jia Xitong chimed in, "Thank you all for your support. Regarding everyone's expectation for more performances of 'Journey to the West,' we've already begun preparing for more permanent stages. The current and future troupes and scripts are all generously provided by Xianlongfeng. We hope everyone will support Yan Qing and Xianlongfeng!"
"good!"
"Okay, okay!"
Many people below applauded.
If Journey to the West could air two episodes a day, having multiple deans wouldn't matter. After all, having three or four deans doesn't really affect them much; teaching continues as always, disciples continue to learn as always, and everything remains unchanged for centuries.
As they were talking, the second episode of Journey to the West was about to begin with some hammering and banging.
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
However, at that moment, several law enforcement officers suddenly appeared on the horizon and rushed into the crowd, shouting, "By order of the Dean, those who play games are wasting their time and are not in accordance with martial arts cultivation. They must immediately withdraw and are not allowed to gather in crowds."
A bolt from the blue, a blow to the head.
They never expected that the show they had been eagerly anticipating, which was about to premiere, would now be halted.
Can't we stop now?
"Let's wait until this episode is over."
"We've been waiting for a long time."
"Seriously? What kind of 'indulging in frivolous pursuits' is this?"
The surrounding cultivators asked the newly arrived enforcers to wait a moment. Shang Yanting glanced at Huo Rui beside him, and Huo Rui, receiving a signal, stepped forward to negotiate with the enforcers.
"Hmph, Xianlong Peak, is that it? It's not your place to make decisions about the academy now."
The law enforcement officers spoke coldly and sternly, saying, "Move these things away within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
Niu Chuanchuan stepped forward to argue with him, but Huo Rui grabbed her arm.
"Brother Huo?"
He looked over, puzzled.
"Since it is the will of the three deans, we must naturally follow it."
He bowed to the law enforcement officers and then gestured for everyone to tidy up their belongings.
"Really not going to act anymore?"
The surrounding audience couldn't believe it.
Didn't they say Xianlongfeng was incredibly arrogant? Show some guts to challenge the dean! Just walking away when someone tells you to leave makes Xianlongfeng seem like you have no personality!
"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry."
The actors, who had worked hard to prepare for a long time, bid farewell to the audience and monks below.
When will the remaining content be added?
"Our new stage is almost finished, and we'll definitely make up for the parts we didn't finish performing today..."
The surrounding area immediately descended into chaos.
The complaints from the monks who came to watch, the shouts of the law enforcement officers driving them away, and the clanging sounds of the stage being dismantled were quite noisy. This was a far cry from Jia Xitong's imagined scenario where everyone would clear up the misunderstanding, gain goodwill for Xianlong Peak, and then have an extra performance before leaving in harmony and happiness.
But for Hsien Lung Peak, the arrival of these law enforcement officers was perfectly timed.
While clearing themselves of their own shortcomings, the problems of the three deans also began to emerge.
Brothels, casinos, high-priced life-or-death struggles on the black market... the directors of these places don't care about any of them. As a result, watching a play is seen as a waste of time and a source of harm.
We ignore the things that are truly harmful, but only care about their little, irritating hobbies.
That's nothing.
After the three academies continued to issue orders prohibiting opera troupes from performing anywhere and banning the sale of storybooks by various merchants, the resistance from the disciples who were fans of Journey to the West reached its climax.
"This is outrageous!"
"Are the three directors banning the opera troupes, or the people behind them?"
"Are they really that petty?"
"I don't care anymore. I support Xianlong Peak now. He's a legitimate Martial Emperor, so what's wrong with him being a dean?"
"I also support Yan Qing now, after all, only he can let me watch Journey to the West."
"Can I say that I've been secretly supporting Yan Qing for a long time? The dormitory's public bathhouse really needs a private space. It's so disgusting for a guy like me to be spied on by another guy..."
Within just a few days, supporters of Xianlongfeng and Yan Qing appeared.
Moreover, the more opera troupes were banned, the more supporters they gained.
Inspired by Jia Xitong, Huo Rui felt as if he had unlocked his full potential.
By closely observing the daily lives of these disciples, a positive image of Shang Yanting can be cultivated.
In terms of first impressions, Shang Yanting has already won.
Then comes ability and effort.
When someone is better than you, but only slightly better, you will be envied, jealous, or hated; when someone is far better than you, even to the point that you can never catch up to them in your entire life, all you will be left with is to look up to them.
Yan Qing is the object of admiration for cultivators today.
Besides ability and strength, character is also a key point.
Ever since Jia Xitong lost her mind, she's become a big mouth. Shang Yanting's amazing little skills and embarrassing moments have been exposed to the fullest extent, and then Huo Rui, who happened to find out, used them as promotional material.
Although he didn't know what "gap moe" (a Japanese term for someone who is endearingly different from others) meant.
However, he keenly sensed that, compared to the perfect, aloof beauty, the down-to-earth big shot who liked to mend and repair his Warcraft and loved ones and was always ready to help was more likely to be liked.
He proved to be right.
Who could resist a powerful empress who could embroider, sew, cook, do carpentry, and had a peculiar sense of aesthetics?
This immediately brought him much closer to the younger disciples.
Who says a young cultivator can't become the abbot?
They need to be young to represent the thoughts of these young cultivators.
Who says the dean has to be one of the same people from before?
A truly good dean of the academy is one who notices their real needs.
No matter how hard the three deans tried, with Huo Rui's persistence, Shang Yanting gained more and more young supporters, and some even started to petition on his behalf.
We need a new dean!
"Dingtian Academy has remained unchanged for many years, and very few of the accumulated problems have been resolved. We need a dean who can get things done."
The demand for Yan Qing to become the dean is at an all-time high!
The progress has finally started to go normally.
Of the original forty-six peak masters of the academy, eighteen were members of the Wanqi clan and their followers. Shang Yanting had already begun to gather these people, and other forces of the Wanqi clan were also being absorbed by him.
Even though the three peaks managed to seize a portion of it, the vast majority was absorbed by Xianlong Peak.
Unbeknownst to many, Xianlong Peak had become the fourth largest peak, second only to the three deans in strength.
Xianlong Peak, which used to be a place where people were cautious and even going out was difficult, now has many people at the foot of the mountain who volunteer themselves.
