Just as Kong Lingfeng was forcing Kong to resign, another bigwig from the Southern School, Liu Yuzhen, stepped forward.
"I think Kong Lingfeng is right. Since it was your faction that caused this trouble, then don't drag us into it!"
Seeing Liu Yuzhen step forward as well, Meng Wei's brows furrowed even deeper.
He knew these people were there to force him to resign, and there was no need to ask them why they were doing this; Li Tian was definitely behind it.
"What benefits did Li Tian give you that allowed you to split the Southern faction?" Meng Wei's previous peaceful demeanor vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.
“Meng Wei, Li Tian did make a promise to us, I don’t deny that. I just think it’s unreasonable for you to target Li Tian. Cooperating with Li Tian is the key for our Southern School to break the deadlock. Do you want our Southern School to be excluded from CCTV forever?”
Kong Lingfeng spoke frankly and made no attempt to hide anything, saying it directly.
“I agree with Ling Feng’s opinion. We don’t need to fight Li Tian to the death. We are all Canglan people, why make such a clear distinction!” Liu Yuzhen also spoke up.
“I agree with Ling Feng’s view. We are all Canglan people, why fight to the death!” Bai Rong also spoke up.
Before Meng Wei could speak, Wei Da had already begun to fly into a rage, saying, "Hmph, you make it sound so simple. So none of you have any relatives who died at the hands of the Northern Faction!"
"Exactly, a bunch of people talking without understanding the pain!" Xie Zhen also looked angry.
Kong Lingfeng looked at Meng Wei and said, "Meng Wei, what do you think?"
Meng Wei glanced at Kong Lingfeng and said, "Are you sure you want to do this? Do you know what this means?"
Kong Lingfeng nodded and said, "I know what doing this means. What about the Southern and Northern factions? What era are we living in now? If we don't let go of hatred, we will live in hatred forever."
“Look at Huang Yin now. As far as I know, her father also died at the hands of the Northern Faction. And look at her now, isn’t she still living happily ever after with Li Tian? Li Tian also said, what is there to say about the Southern Faction or the Northern Faction?”
Kong Linghui continued, looking at the assembled leaders, "I wonder how many of you truly understand the Southern and Northern schools? What is your definition of the Southern and Northern schools? Is it by region? By culture?"
There are indeed some people in the audience who don't know what the division between the Northern and Southern schools is based on. They were just labeled as Southern school after their debut, and they really don't know why they are Southern school.
However, these people do not include Meng Wei and his group, as they all understand the basis for the division between the North and South factions.
"Kong Lingfeng, since you put it that way, I can give up being the leader of the Southern School. As long as you can get the half of the Northern School's 'Canglan Ancient Music,' the position of leader of the Southern School will be yours!"
Looking at Kong Lingfeng, Meng Wei now understood Kong Lingfeng's purpose.
At first, he thought Kong Lingfeng was planning to go it alone, or lead a group to go it alone, but now it seems that he has his eyes on his position as the leader!
"Haha, Meng Wei, who told you that 'Canglan Ancient Music' is in two parts? With your connections, you should have Miss Su's phone number. You can ask her how many parts 'Canglan Ancient Music' actually has."
Hearing Kong Lingfeng say this, the few people present who knew the inside story were also completely bewildered.
Meng Wei was equally confused as to why Kong Lingfeng said that, and asked, "Kong Lingfeng! What did you just say?"
Kong Lingfeng sighed as he spoke of this, saying, "Alas! I only found out about it not long ago. 'Canglan Ancient Music' is divided into three parts, and what we and the Northern School have combined is only the second part!"
"Li Tian told me that all five major families have a complete copy of 'Canglan Ancient Music.' I think you can ask Miss Su about this; she should know the answer to that!"
"Therefore, the 'Canglan Ancient Music,' which our Northern and Southern schools have been fighting over for two hundred years, is actually an incomplete product. The people who died in those two hundred years were truly wronged!"
Meng Wei couldn't accept this statement and, disregarding the opinions of others, directly called Su Xuan.
The call was quickly answered, and Su Xuan's languid voice rang out: "What's wrong?"
"Third Miss, there's something I'd like to confirm with you?"
"Oh, what is it? Tell me!"
"It's like this, I'd like to ask if the Su family has a complete version of 'Canglan Ancient Music', I'd like to borrow it."
Su Xuan had never heard of "Canglan Ancient Music" before, and said, "Hmm, let me ask you. I don't know either, but you're right to do it this way. If you want to defeat Li Tian, you have to be straightforward and honest!"
"Yes, Miss San is right. That's what I was thinking too. I've heard that the five major families have a complete copy of 'Canglan Ancient Music,' so I'd like to borrow it to take a look!"
"Alright, I'll have someone check it out and let you know in a bit!"
After Su Xuan hung up the phone, no one on Meng Wei's side said a word; they just waited quietly.
It wasn't until some uninformed people started asking about "Canglan Ancient Music" that they understood why the Northern and Southern schools were divided.
About five minutes later, Meng Wei's phone rang again, and he answered it immediately.
"Hey, you're still in Hong Kong Island, right? I've already had someone send you that old music you wanted!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Wei felt as if the sky had fallen on him, and hurriedly asked, "Third Miss, do you know how many versions of the complete Canglan Ancient Music exist?"
"Three books, I think? I'm not quite sure. My men just said there were three. By the way, these are all ancient books, so be careful not to lose them, or I'll be in a difficult position!"
"Third Miss, I understand, I understand! Don't worry, I'll have someone make a new copy and send it back to you!"
