Chapter 88: Just a Show

There is a 9-star academy in the human world, and you are making such a big fuss. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. You still believe it?

The Siming Sect's recognition? Forget it. Wenchang Emperor was assassinated. Who would verify the authenticity of the Nine Stars Academy? Or they would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

With the Emperor of Heaven here, once the matter is thoroughly investigated, there won’t be any waves, and these 9 stars will have to withdraw sooner or later.

Therefore, the academies in the fairy world and the Buddhist world are very calm. They are not so stupid as to not get involved. Besides, they were not invited, so they just put on an act and watched. After everything comes to light, it will not shake the status of their academy at all.

The Emperor of Heaven received information reported by various gods in the main hall, and he was very interested in the West Lake Academy.

"What do you think of this West Lake Academy?"

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li stepped forward and answered, "Your Majesty, this is a school in the human world after all. No matter how powerful it is, it can never compare to the schools in the immortal world and the Buddhist world. Therefore, either this school is making a gimmick to expand its enrollment estimates, or it is targeting the assassination of Emperor Wenchang!"

Taibai Jinxing echoed, "What Li Tianwang said makes sense. Taibai also thinks it has something to do with the assassination of Emperor Wenchang!"

Taishang Laojun frowned and finally stepped forward and said, "Laojun doesn't think so. This Star Inscription Tablet is an ancient object. If it is not a formal evaluation, it would not be recorded on it. Therefore, West Lake Academy at least has the potential to become a 9-star academy, which is why it is recorded on the Star Inscription Tablet."

Taibai Jinxing said disapprovingly, "But what you have in your hand is not the real Star Stele, it's just a replica!"

Taishang Laojun nodded, but he still insisted on his own point of view. "Although I have a secondary stele in my hand and I am not qualified to use the Star Stele, the Star Stele has been operating freely since ancient times. Siming is just interpreting and applying it accordingly. So I still believe that West Lake Academy is real. But whether it is related to Siming and Emperor Wenchang, we have to wait for the return of the two Star Gods, Fire Deity and Water Deity."

There are naturally different opinions about the other gods. Some support Taibai Jinxing's point of view, some support Tianshang Laojun's point of view, and most of them belong to these two factions.

The Emperor nodded slightly. He knew that there was a hidden force that had been opposing the immortal world and the Buddhist world.

But I have no idea who it is.

Now no one knows what is going on and no one can figure it out, which leads to a lot of speculation about what is happening now.

The world is going to be in chaos!

The Emperor narrowed his eyes. Perhaps, the birth of West Lake Academy meant that many things were going to happen. It seemed that some things had to begin.

The dean of the Tianxian Academy, the goddess Xuannv, was sitting together with the four deans of the four major Tianjiang academies drinking tea. The tea was freshly picked from the tea trees in the back garden of the queen mother, and it was a rare treasure.

"Marshal Ma Yuan, do you know about the West Lake Academy which has been quite popular recently?" As the dean of Tianxian Academy, Niangniang Xuannv is naturally well-informed and knows about these things.

Lingguan Ma Yuanshuai is the dean of the East Court of the Heavenly Generals. He laughed and said, "You little idiot, it's just a farce. We won't get involved!"

"Oh? How do you know? That's the 9-star academy written on the sub-monument of the Star Inscription." Queen Xuannv was known for her smiling face, and others could not tell what she was thinking.

Zhao Gongming, the dean of the Tianjiang North Academy, drank his tea slowly and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The academy has always had three evaluations. Once the star is determined, it will be announced to the world. Once the 9-star academy is born, the scale will only be larger. Now that Emperor Wenchang is in trouble, the 9-star academy is at most a nomination, and it can't be regarded as a real 9-star academy at all."

“Then aren’t you afraid that West Lake College really has the potential to become a 9-star college?” Niangniang Xuannv asked again.

Wen Qiong, the dean of the West Academy of the Heavenly Generals, said with a smile, "It has been decades since the human world began. How can an academy that has only been established for less than a year in the human world be stronger than the academies in the immortal and Buddhist worlds? That must be the force that is trying to harm Emperor Wenchang. In this case, what do we have to worry about?"

Guan Yu is the dean of the Tianjiang South Campus. He drank the tea in his cup in one gulp and said, "What nine-star academy? Just do your own academy well. I'm going on patrol with my people. Call me if you have anything else! Don't call me for this kind of shit!"

After saying that, Guan Yu picked up the Guan Dao that was leaning against the side and left.

Wen Qiong offered tea to Empress Xuannv apologetically, "Don't blame me, my brother Yu has always had this temper."

The eyes of the goddess Xuannu flickered slightly, and she raised her teacup and toasted them.

"See, you guys don't want to interfere with West Lake College's anniversary celebration?"

Zhao Gongming nodded, "We can just watch. Originally, West Lake Academy did not invite us to participate in their anniversary celebration this time. Besides, such a farce, what if it really involves the death of Emperor Wenchang..."

Zhao Gongming didn't say the second half of his sentence, but everyone understood.

The academies in the upper world all believed that West Lake Academy was related to the death of Emperor Wenchang, but they were reluctant to say it out loud, as they were trying to protect themselves and were afraid of being implicated.

Although the 9-star academy has a big name, once this matter is confirmed, it will not be just a matter of removing the plaque.

Of course, they told the outside world that the 9-star rating at West Lake College was just a farce and they just didn’t want to get involved.

There are of course many practical reasons.

For example, Guan Yu, the dean of Tianjiang South College, doesn't care whether other colleges are 9-star colleges or not. As long as his own college is promoted, why would he be jealous of other colleges? Of course, there are only a few colleges like this.

Long Pinxuan was leaning back in his chair, seriously planning the next anniversary event.

"Since it's our anniversary, it has to be a great occasion!"

"Now is the time for me, a dragon with 5,000 years of historical memory, to shine!"

This anniversary celebration must be grand and spectacular, because not only humans will come, but also demons and gods. If we can retain one or two of them to be teachers in the college, it will be wonderful!

He picked up the preparation list and personnel arrangements written on the bamboo slip and walked out of the office.

A loud voice rang out from the Xiulian Square, "Attention, students! Attention, students!"

"Please quickly adjust your training and outings. In 30 minutes, all students from West Lake College will gather at the Training Square for a meeting! Please notify each other!"

As soon as this notice was released, students from the demon class, human class, and experimental class all rushed to the training square.

Some students who were out received notifications from their friends in the class, and they all put down their work and rushed back.

"What's going on this time? Feelings are important!"

"I don't know! This is the first time we've called all the students to a meeting!"
