From a distance, the academy does not look large, but as you approach, you’ll find that its actual size is incredibly vast.
Entering through the main gate, you are greeted by a towering statue of a man.
The statue is entirely carved from flawless Jade Marrow Crystal Stone, seemingly the work of a master, with craftsmanship so realistic it is as if it were alive.
Xue An stood in front of the statue, which bore an eighty percent resemblance to himself in features, and couldn’t help but be a bit taken aback. "Who placed this here?"
Ye Ming quickly replied, "Ancestor, it was the Grand Mountain Elder and my mentor, among others, who put it here."
Upon saying this, Ye Ming showed a proud smile. "It is also to commemorate your unparalleled merits!"
"I understand the reasoning, but why sculpt me to look so... silly?"
Xue An gazed at the statue, which pointed forward with its left hand, brows tightly knit, and a face full of compassion, and fell into contemplation.
Ye Ming didn’t quite understand, "Ancestor, what are you saying? What do you mean by silly? This statue is meant to depict your all-embracing compassion for the world and concern for the country and its people!"
Xue An turned to look at him with a glance, "Be honest with me, was it you who carved this statue?"
Ye Ming chuckled embarrassedly, scratching his head, "I wouldn’t have that skill; most of it was the handiwork of my mentor, I just helped out a bit!"
"I knew it was that dead girl, Xiao Man!" Xue An cursed under his breath.
Ye Ming looked confused, "Ancestor, what did you say?"
"Oh, nothing, let’s go!"
After rounding the shadow wall, a large courtyard appeared before them.
At that moment.
The courtyard was filled with kneeling academy disciples and servants.
These were all the disciples Jing Haomiao took in after taking charge of the academy.
Upon seeing Xue An’s figure, they all couldn’t help but bow their heads to the ground, not daring to lift them.
The timid ones even trembled slightly all over.
Xue An, however, paid them no mind and walked straight inside.
In contrast, Ye Ming suddenly froze mid-step and then sighed softly to someone kneeling by the roadside, "Little junior, did you ever think you’d see a day like this when you sold yourself to the thief back then?"
The person he addressed was a middle-aged man who, upon hearing Ye Ming’s words, raised his head, his face showing an expression of shame.
"Senior brother, I..."
Ye Ming waved his hand, sighing lightly, "Enough, no need to say anything, and don’t call me senior brother anymore, everything will be up to the ancestor’s judgment!"
After speaking, Ye Ming hurriedly followed Xue An towards the back of the academy.
The man watched Ye Ming’s departing figure, eyes filled with deep regret.
As Ye Ming just said, this man was indeed Ye Ming’s junior disciple, but after Jing Haomiao’s betrayal, he did not escape the academy with Ye Ming and the others who survived.
Instead, he actually sided with Jing Haomiao, willingly becoming his henchman.
Never did he expect that today the situation would reverse dramatically, with the ancestor who founded the academy suddenly returning and destroying Jing Haomiao with overwhelming force.
It can be imagined that after this battle, the academy will correct its course.
Others can be overlooked, as they were deceived by Jing Haomiao into joining.
Only he surrendered willingly, at this point, not to mention whether he can establish himself in the academy, even living on became a question!
At this thought, this man’s heart filled even more with regret.
And he started to resent Xue An, Ye Ming, and the others.
It’s all your fault, everything was going well, why did you have to come back?
And just because you can destroy Jing Haomiao doesn’t mean you can break those seals!
