You need to quickly find a way to deal with the Jiedao Academy.
Yang Ji's face turned ugly.
Upon hearing this, Chang Wei hurriedly said, "Palace Master, don't be anxious. Let's proceed according to our original plan. Now that the Jiedao Academy has firmly rejected our merger, we can only carry out the second plan and kill the roadblock Wu Daofeng."
"With Wu Daofeng dead, we can easily merge the Jiedao Academy by coercing and bribing those useless elders. However, we cannot do this openly; we must handle it secretly. Once it's successful, the world will still believe that it was our Tongcheng Academy that saved the Jiedao Academy."
"Who will kill Wu Daofeng?" Yang Ji stared at Chang Wei.
Chang Wei's face stiffened, and after a while he whispered, "Looking at Tongcheng, I'm afraid only you can kill him. This old codger doesn't know how to run an academy, but his cultivation is truly terrifying. We need to be careful."
“Alright, go and select a few experts. We’ll operate in disguise tonight, kill Wu Daofeng, and take over the Jiedao Academy.”
Yang Ji's eyes were cold as he quickly made a decision.
"yes."
Chang Wei nodded excitedly, turned around and ran quickly out of the office.
...
In the blink of an eye, night fell, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a storm was brewing.
Inside the Jiedao Academy, Ye Qiu was discussing student recruitment with Wu Manman and Long Yue.
Wu Daofeng, who was standing to the side, was dozing off and did not join in the discussion.
“Grandfather, instead of taking a nap here, why don’t you go back and rest?” Wu Manman said with a smile.
"Then you two discuss it properly. I'm going back to sleep. I don't know why, but I feel very tired tonight."
Wu Daofeng yawned and stood up.
"Then go and rest. The enrollment process isn't complicated; we'll finalize the plan soon," Wu Manman said.
"Alright, my dear granddaughter, then you guys do your best."
Wu Daofeng waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Ye Qiu, do you think we could relax the age requirements for admissions? Previously, the maximum age was 22. Could we extend it to 24?" Wu Manman asked Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu shook his head: "Twenty-four years old is still a bit too old, and it will be difficult to cultivate a sense of belonging. However, if their talent is strong enough and their background is clean enough, they can still be recruited."
"What do you mean by a clean background?" Wu Manman asked curiously.
"Don't you understand this?" Ye Qiu said, "It means that his family or power is very strong and he has no grudge against our Jiedao Academy. We can recruit him. Even if he is not very talented, he can still serve as a figurehead."
"Okay, I understand. Let's do it that way, the age limit is relaxed to twenty-four..."
"Okay." Ye Qiu had no objections.
"Hey, hey, hey, watch out, there's someone here."
Long Yue suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong with you?" Wu Manman asked, puzzled.
Long Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Your heads are so close together, you're practically kissing. Don't you realize it?"
"Well..."
Ye Qiu was astonished. He turned around and saw that he was indeed very close to Wu Manman. He had been thinking carefully about the recruitment plan and discussing it with Wu Manman, and had overlooked this point.
After realizing what was happening, Ye Qiu quickly moved to keep a safe distance.
"Cough...you're such a busybody."
Wu Manman glared at Long Yue.
Long Yue pouted, "You didn't include me again. I want to get close to him too..."
"Get close to me? You big dummy! Can't you be a little more reserved? I...we were just getting close unintentionally, it wasn't on purpose."
"Bullshit! I clearly saw your big eyes darting around, getting closer and closer, and then..."
"Shut up."
Wu Manman quickly covered Long Yue's mouth, her face flushed with embarrassment.
