Unconsciously, several days had passed. During this time, the events that had occurred in the secret realm spread rapidly, like wings, and soon spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
Originally, everyone in the imperial capital thought that these children had died long ago, but unexpectedly, they all broke through to the martial artist realm without exception.
You know, even if you spend a lot of money to hire the most top-notch cultivators and use shockingly expensive elixirs to assist in cultivation, it is impossible to achieve such amazing results in such a short period of time.
As the master of these people, Xie Qi naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone was full of curiosity and exploration about this mysterious figure.
When people learned that Xie Qi was the son-in-law of the Mu family, the gate of the Mu family was crowded with people who came to ask to be his disciple.
However, faced with everyone's earnest requests, Xie Qi rejected them one by one without hesitation.
After a few days, everyone gathered at Wuxing College again. The purpose of this gathering was to assign departments.
In the past, at this time of year, the elders of each department would stand majestically at the front, receiving the admiration and respect of the students.
But the situation this year is completely different. These elders have completely lost their former popularity.
The reason was simple: not a single student in the audience took the initiative to step forward and choose a department. Instead, everyone stood behind Xie Qi, as if he was the only one worth following.
Dean Xiu Qiyan frowned slightly, stared at the scene in front of him, and sighed helplessly.
His gaze slowly shifted to Xie Qi standing below him, and he asked earnestly, "Xie Qi, considering your major in alchemy, why not choose the Alchemy Academy? This will surely be of great benefit to your cultivation."
Hearing this, Xie Qi raised his head, his gaze passed over a few people, and fell on Liu Yansong, the dean of the Dan Academy.
Then, Xie Qi cast his gaze behind him. He saw countless pairs of eyes fixed on him. Xie Qi couldn't help but wonder, if he really went to the Alchemy Academy, would all these people follow him there?
Once this thought emerged, it grew wildly in his mind like weeds. The more Xie Qi thought about it, the more he felt it was inappropriate. Instead of going to a department run by someone else and being constrained by them, it would be better to set up his own school and create a department of his own.
Having made up his mind, Xie Qi took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, looked at Xiu Qiyan, and said loudly, "Dean, I'd like to ask you a question. Can I establish a department on my own?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the elders sitting above all showed complicated expressions on their faces.
The many students who were originally watching and waiting in the audience all had happy expressions on their faces, and their excitement was beyond words.
After all, the reason why they didn't rush to choose a department was simply because they wanted to see what decision Xie Qi would make so that they could follow him and join the corresponding department.
Now that they heard that Xie Qi had such a bold idea to establish his own department, they were naturally overjoyed.
However, at this moment, Elder Song Lizhen's face darkened and he snorted coldly. He stared at Xie Qi with his sharp eyes and scolded him rudely, "Hmph! How arrogant! You may have some skills, but don't forget, you are just a first-level martial artist. Do you think you can be on equal footing with us?"
Facing Elder Song Lizhen's cold words, Xie Qi remained remarkably calm and composed. He responded with a serious expression, "Of course, we're not equals. I just feel I have some experience in teaching others. Besides, isn't the academy's purpose to identify talent and educate people? Besides, if I'm not mistaken, there should still be some students from the previous class who haven't yet reached the Martial Master realm."
After saying that, Xie Qi looked at them and said with a smile: "My cultivation is a bit low, but I am young."
Xie Qi's words were like a sharp sword piercing everyone's heart, leaving the elders speechless.
After all, the facts are in front of us. The strength displayed by this group of freshmen is truly amazing, and they have even surpassed the cultivation level of some of their senior brothers.
In the past, all departments would have rushed to recruit such an outstanding disciple.
But the current situation is special. So many talented students want to follow Xie Qi. Even if they are reluctantly accepted into their own department, it is likely that they will find it difficult to truly integrate into it in the future.
At this moment, Xiu Qiyan felt guilty towards them. After all, when these disciples were in danger, the elders who should have helped them failed to lend a hand.
Thinking of this, Xiu Qiyan couldn't help but sigh deeply and slowly said, "Never mind. This time it was indeed our fault. It's understandable that you're disappointed in us. If you, Xie Qi, really want to establish your own department, the East District, although a bit old, is spacious enough to accommodate all of you disciples."
He paused briefly, then added, "Once you're there, you can make your own arrangements. Once everything is packed, remember to go to the Dianshi Hall and complete the relevant registration procedures."
After he finished speaking, Xiu Qiyan stood up and turned to leave. Seeing this, the other elders also stood up and left the place.
After that, Xie Qi led many disciples towards the place where they would live and practice in the future. Along the way, he attracted the attention of many senior brothers and sisters.
