Chapter 100

Wei Tianqi, Wei Ming, and Wei Yang walked at the edge of the Bipolar Academy's formation. Like Qin Sang, they were not wearing the Bipolar Academy's uniform.

Their identities were indeed a bit special, but their lack of a uniform was not out of pride like Qin Sang's. Their surname Wei was not the Wei of the four major families, far from being comparable to Qin Sang's Qin. They did not wear the Bipolar Academy's uniform simply because they were not students of the Bipolar Academy. They came to register under the name of the Xianfeng Academy.

The name, just a name.

What they relied on more was, of course, their other identity. Because of this identity, they looked at Lu Ping and Su Tang as if they were dead men. Because of this identity, they found it particularly unpleasant to meet Lu Ping and Su Tang's direct gaze. This fearless look, they truly disliked.

But the chubby Wei Zhong found it interesting. He had been the head of the Wei family in the City Lord's residence for many years and had seen countless such gazes in the Xianfeng District. Some were trying to suppress their fear and feign strength; some had already submitted in their hearts but were unwilling to lower their heads for the sake of face; some were filled with righteous indignation, truly fearless and ready to risk everything, but that was only in moments of urgency, in a moment of impulsiveness. But the young man and woman in front of him looked at them very calmly and ordinarily. It was as if you were looking at me, so I looked at you.

Their gazes were very firm and consistent. At first, they were looking at Wei Tianqi, Wei Ming, and Wei Yang, but when they noticed the big fat man in the Bipolar Academy's uniform also looking at them, they turned their gaze to him as well.

The four members of the Wei family soon passed by with the Bipolar Academy's formation without causing any trouble. Even with their somewhat special status, they knew it was not wise to cause trouble during the registration for the Soul Pointing Assembly. After all, this was not the Xianfeng District.

The three formations moved quickly, and the few members of the Wei family soon arrived at the registration desk. The Bipolar Academy students did not comment on the non-students mixed in among them, as it was said that this was personally instructed by the Dean, so it was not their place to question.

The first to step up to the desk was Wei Ming.

"Xianfeng Academy, Wei Ming," he said.

"Hmm?" The examiner looked up. His table, along with the one to the north, was specifically for the registration of the Tianzhao and Bipolar Academies. How could someone from another academy mix in, and why would the Bipolar Academy students not object?

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Wei Ming showing him a badge, followed by a friendly smile: "Thank you, teacher."

Students generally addressed the examiners as "teacher."

"Xianfeng" badge...

The examiner was knowledgeable and recognized the emblem of the City Lord's residence in the neighboring district. He did not know the identity of the person who came, but it was clear that they had a significant relationship with the City Lord, which was what the emblem represented. Without this relationship, one would not use the City Lord's emblem to prove their identity. For official status, there were official certificates. The emblem, though not an official status, often had more persuasive power.

The examiner did not say much and did not take out the sashes from the basket beside him, which were specifically for Bipolar Academy students. He turned to Mu Yong's basket and took out three sashes.

Xianfeng Academy, Wei Ming, 2012. He recorded it and handed the sashes to Wei Ming.

"We need four," Wei Ming said with a smile as he took the sashes.

"What?" The examiner did not understand what he meant.

"There are four of us from the Xianfeng Academy," Wei Ming explained, shaking the sashes in his hand, then walked to the side. Wei Tianqi followed: "Xianfeng Academy, Wei Tianqi."

The examiner recorded and issued the sashes, his gaze scanning the Bipolar Academy's formation but not finding a fourth person not wearing the Bipolar Academy uniform.

After Wei Yang completed his registration, Wei Zhong, wearing the Bipolar Academy uniform, followed up, identifying himself: "Xianfeng Academy, Wei Zhong."

"Hmm?" The examiner was almost about to write "Bipolar Academy" but then realized this person, clearly wearing the Bipolar Academy uniform, had reported the name of the Xianfeng Academy.

"Are you from the Xianfeng Academy?" The examiner confirmed.

"Yes, just like them. I am Wei Zhong," Wei Zhong said with a hearty, simple smile. But what he meant by "just like them" was not that he was a student of the Xianfeng Academy, but rather the status represented by the City Lord's emblem.

The examiner did not ask any more questions. Even though Wei Zhong looked quite old, the academy had no age requirements for students. He went to Mu Yong again to get another sash, completed the record, and handed it to Wei Zhong.

The four members of the Wei family completed their registration and walked down from the south side of the registration desk. In front of them were Lu Ping and Su Tang. Xu Weifeng was sitting on the ground, pen in hand, but the four people claiming to be from the Xianfeng Academy made him hesitate.

"These four, they feel so strong. Xianfeng Academy, where is that?" Xu Weifeng muttered.

"It's another academy from our side," Lu Ping said.

"That academy is so strong!" Xu Weifeng said.

"Probably not," Lu Ping said.

"But they are clearly strong," Xu Weifeng said.

"Because we are not just students of the Xianfeng Academy, little classmate," the four members of the Wei family walked up to Lu Ping and Su Tang, and Wei Zhong picked up Xu Weifeng's words. After finishing, he did not continue to pay attention but looked at Lu Ping and Su Tang.

"How did Wei Ying die?" he said.

"Who is Wei Ying?" Lu Ping asked.

Wei Zhong smiled, a hearty, simple smile. On the registration desk, he had smiled like this and revealed an identity that made the examiner cautious. Now he smiled again, but before he spoke, everyone felt a chill.

Wei Tianqi was the City Lord's only son, and Wei Ming was the leader of their group, but at this moment, neither of them spoke because, on this issue, Wei Zhong was more qualified to ask and understand.

The twelve Wei families were all trusted by the City Lord, but there were always some closer and some more distant among them.

The closest, perhaps, were Wei Zhong and Wei Ying.

"He is my son," Wei Zhong told Lu Ping with a hearty smile.

Lu Ping showed no unusual emotion, just a "oh" and then told Wei Zhong, "I don't know him."

"You will have the chance to know him," Wei Zhong said.

"Isn't he already dead?" Lu Ping said.

"Exactly!" Wei Zhong said.

"Hard to say," Lu Ping said.

"Hehe," Wei Zhong laughed again and walked away. Wei Tianqi, Wei Ming, and Wei Yang were still looking at Lu Ping as if he were a dead man.

"What a pity!" Wei Yang said, removing his mask. The City Lord's residence's doctors were clearly skilled, using soul power to restore his face as much as possible, but some traces remained. His smile could no longer be as good as before, so he became less inclined to smile.

"What a pity!" he repeated, shaking his head.

"I would have liked to introduce you to Wei Ying," he continued.

"Who exactly is Wei Ying?" Lu Ping asked again, genuinely.

The cold expressions of Wei Tianqi and the others suddenly became a bit uneasy. They suddenly realized that Lu Ping might really not know who Wei Ying was. Because Wei Ying rarely appeared, and the only time he acted on the mountain, there was no pleasant introduction. Lu Ping might not have thought of this person because he did not know that this person was already dead, so he could not connect the dots.

But Su Tang at least remembered the existence of such a person.

"Is it the one who saved him on the mountain?" Su Tang pointed at Wei Tianqi.

"Oh," Lu Ping immediately remembered, "the one who stopped your punch when you were hitting him, that's Wei Ying?"

Lu Ping was still asking, but Wei Tianqi was already seething with anger from the repeated "he" and "he" from the two. He was the only son of the City Lord's residence, destined to take over the City Lord's position and manage the entire Xianfeng District, and possibly have even higher authority. But in the words of Lu Ping and Su Tang, why did it sound like he was just a minor character?

He raised his hand, pointed at Lu Ping, then at Su Tang, wanting to say something harsh, but did not know where to start. Finally, he ended his threat with these two seemingly powerful actions.

"Let's go," Wei Tianqi said. He did not lose his temper on the spot because causing trouble here would inevitably lead to complications. Complications would reduce efficiency.

They would participate in the Soul Pointing Assembly, and so would Lu Ping and the others. Killing them casually during the Soul Pointing Assembly would undoubtedly be the most efficient way to handle the situation.

The three quickly caught up with Wei Zhong, who was walking a bit ahead alone.

Although Wei Tianqi had a higher status, Wei Ming was now highly favored by the City Lord, and Wei Yang was a highly regarded genius cultivator, Wei Zhong was a senior among the twelve Wei families. He and his son Wei Ying had served the Wei family for generations. Even Wei Tianqi would show great respect to him.

"Those two seem to not know about Wei Ying," Wei Ming said, stating his judgment. Officially, he was still the leader here, but after Wei Zhong arrived, he often discussed and sought his opinion. This was out of respect and trust. Even though this matter involved a grief that Wei Zhong could not let go of, no one doubted his judgment.

"Unaware? They must be well-protected!" Wei Zhong said.

"Following them, we can find that woman," Wei
