What are you researching?
Ye Qiu smiled and walked quickly closer.
"What else could we be researching? We're researching your relationship with Saintess Lin. Kid, you're something else. The Saintess of the Supreme Temple seems quite interested in you. What are your thoughts?"
Wu Daofeng asked with a smile.
"Old man, don't talk nonsense. My relationship with Saintess Lin is purer than snow." Ye Qiu hurriedly said, because he could feel that Wu Manman's gaze was filled with a terrible killing intent.
"Really? I don't think it's quite pure. What do you think, Manman?" Wu Daofeng asked Wu Manman, eager to stir up trouble.
“Grandfather, he has already climbed up a high branch, a golden branch and jade leaf, how could he not hold her in his hands? How could she be pure?” Wu Manman said indifferently.
Ye Qiu was both amused and exasperated: "What nonsense are you talking about? There's really nothing between me and Lin Qingzhu."
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with me." Wu Manman was clearly jealous and in a very unpleasant mood.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath and then quickly changed the subject: "Old man, there's a problem I think we need to be wary of."
First, Tongcheng Academy has finally lost the championship and must be holding a grudge, especially Chang Wei, who will definitely be detrimental to our Jiedao Academy.
Secondly, the head of the Cultivation Palace, Xuan Yuanhuo, was forced to abdicate because of me. He's no saint either. And then there's the Divine Fist Sect. If they join forces and conspire together, we'll be in a very passive position. We need to be careful.”
Wu Daofeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing Ye Qiu's words.
He hadn't expected that Ye Qiu would think of this.
After a moment's thought, Wu Daofeng smiled and said, "I'll handle these things, you don't need to worry. Just rest for a couple of days, and then you'll have to set off for Longdu."
“Old man, what you’re saying isn’t right.” Ye Qiu said, “I am a student of Jiedao Academy. When the academy encounters difficulties, I should stay and help. I can only leave after it’s resolved. Even if I can’t participate in the Great Dragon League because of this, it doesn’t matter. The safety of the academy is above all else.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Daofeng was immediately stunned.
Regardless, Ye Qiu has only been a member of the Jiedao Academy for a short time, yet he is so devoted to the academy.
This alone deeply moved Wu Daofeng.
"You're quite good, kid. It's not in vain that I taught you the complete Dao Explanation Technique. But I will handle all matters of the academy. You don't need to get involved. Go to Longdu when you need to. Don't delay the Great Dragon League." Wu Daofeng patted Ye Qiu's shoulder hard, his old eyes moist.
"Go away, don't disgust me. There's no way we're leaving. Let's see how things go first. If Chang Wei and Xuan Yuanhuo are up to something, then we'll have to find a way to get rid of them first."
A cold killing intent surfaced in Ye Qiu's eyes.
He doesn't like leaving any potential problems behind!
But Wu Daofeng clearly had other ideas, shaking his head and saying, "Whether it's Tongcheng Academy or Xuanyuan Fire, they are both extraordinary."
"Xuanyuan Huo's family is a powerful clan in Tongcheng. If a war were to break out, our Jiedao Academy would likely face immense difficulties."
"Then what should we do?" Ye Qiu frowned. "Just let them bully us?"
"Let's try to ease things if we can," Wu Daofeng sighed. The sharpness of his youth had faded from the old man's eyes.
But Ye Qiu didn't think so.
"Old Palace Master, if I may be frank, the fact that Jiedao Academy has been ridiculed for so many years is largely due to you."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Wu Daofeng stared at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu said seriously, "Some things cannot be eased or backed down. If Chang Wei dares to jump, then we will destroy Chang Wei. If Tongcheng Academy dares to make a move, then we will go to war with Tongcheng Academy. A first-class academy like Tongcheng Academy will not really fight to the death, but we can take this opportunity to make a name for ourselves and quickly strengthen ourselves. After we have become stronger, Tongcheng Academy will be even less likely to fight us head-on."
In short, winning is a huge win, and losing doesn't matter either, since our Jiedao Academy is already at the bottom of Tongcheng's rankings, how much worse can it get?
"But this will involve bloodshed and sacrifice..."
"Only through hardship can one truly know oneself; only by being bathed in blood and fire can one be qualified to reach the summit and embrace glory." Ye Qiu said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Daofeng was shuddered, feeling as if a long-lost surge of passion rushed to the top of his head. "You're right, we should kill them all in one go, let's go, let's take the initiative now and wipe them out."
"No, no, no!" Wu Manman hurriedly grabbed Wu Daofeng, saying with a wry smile, "Grandfather, please don't get agitated. Ye Qiu didn't express himself clearly. He meant that if a powerful enemy attacks, we must not be afraid and must fight to the end, not that you should take the initiative to attack."
"We can also take the initiative," Ye Qiu grinned.
"Go out and attack, my foot! You're wasting your talents by not running a pyramid scheme." Wu Manman glared at Ye Qiu.
“Manman, Ye Qiu’s words are very reasonable. In the past few years, we have indeed been too cowardly, which has led to the decline of Jiedao Academy. We must become stronger from the root.” Wu Daofeng said solemnly.
“That’s right,” Ye Qiu said. “Every powerful force, whether it’s an academy, a sect, or a business group, company, or corporation, must have its own unique philosophy, which can be called corporate culture.”
A successful corporate culture can unleash extraordinary cohesion and attraction. For example, our academy, if it develops its own unique philosophy and adheres to it, will inevitably rise to prominence. In short, we need a corporate culture.
Corporate culture?
When Wu Daofeng and the others heard this term for the first time, they all fell into deep thought, and the more they thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
"From my observation of Tongcheng Academy, they have always adhered to the principle of all-round development, with extremely clear goals. To summarize simply, it can be described in four words: all-encompassing. Tongcheng Academy does have a certain foundation, so it is very attractive to most people because if you go to Tongcheng Academy, you can learn something about anything."
Wu Daofeng looked solemn.
"Wait, I understand a little, but I'm still a bit confused. Ye Qiu, could you explain it in more detail?" Long Yue stared at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Of course, for example, a company that advocates a wolf-like culture and takes it as the soul of its development must have keen insight and a sense of crisis, dare to fight, not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, defeat enemies, surpass themselves, and create brilliance."
"I understand, I understand!" Long Yue said excitedly. "So this is corporate culture."
"Ye Qiu, then tell me, how should our Jiedao Academy develop?" Wu Manman asked curiously, her eyes gazing tenderly at Ye Qiu, the man who always brought her surprises!
Ye Qiu lived up to expectations and said softly, "It's very simple. Erect a monument at the entrance of the academy and inscribe a passage on it. I've already thought of the passage..."
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."
Wu Daofeng couldn't wait to find out.
Long Yue and Wu Manman were also incredibly curious, staring intently at Ye Qiu without blinking.
Ye Qiu didn't keep them in suspense, and his expression gradually became serious; "Take life and death lightly, fight if you're not convinced, and then add the Four Quotations. You should all remember the Four Quotations, right?"
