Chapter 8

Ye Tianming didn't wait long in the grand hall before a middle-aged man appeared inside. He walked up to Ye Tianming and smiled, saying, "You must be Ye Tianming, right?"

Ye Tianming nodded, "Yes, who are you?"

The middle-aged man said, "Let me introduce myself first. I come from the Xiao family of Southern Province."

Southern Province!

Ye Tianming naturally knew this place; it was the birthplace of the Guanxuan Sword Master and was as famous as Qing Province. The Xiao family, he also knew, was a top-tier second-class family in Southern Province, with immense power.

The middle-aged man smiled, "Ye Tianming, it's like this. Due to some special reasons, our Xiao family wants a special admission quota from Qing Province."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianming instantly understood. Clearly, the other party wanted his special admission quota.

"Of course!"

The middle-aged man continued, "Don't worry, the Xiao family won't take it for free. How about this: if you voluntarily give up this special admission quota, the Xiao family will offer ten 'Qi-Inducing Pills.' As far as I know, your Ye family is a low-tier family, and ten 'Qi-Inducing Pills' should be very helpful to your family. What do you think?"

Ye Tianming looked at him without speaking.

Ten Qi-Inducing Pills were indeed precious, but compared to a special admission quota, they were insignificant. Entering the Guanxuan Academy would provide some cultivation resources, which would help him advance further on his cultivation path. The value of these resources far exceeded that of the Qi-Inducing Pills.

Therefore, although the other party claimed it was an equal exchange, it was more like treating him like a fool.

Seeing that Ye Tianming didn't speak, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Fifteen, no more."

Although he said it with a smile, it carried an air of finality.

Ye Tianming thought for a moment and decided not to confront the other party directly. He said, "The special admission quota is determined by the Guanxuan Academy. If you want my quota, you can ask the academy to revoke it, can't you?"

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Tianming, "We can't influence the academy, but we can influence you."

He felt it was necessary to be straightforward. For a low-tier family, he didn't want to pretend to be polite, as they didn't deserve it.

A low-tier family, in the eyes of the Xiao family, was no different from ants.

Since he had already laid his cards on the table, the middle-aged man decided to be frank. He continued, "You can refuse, but I must tell you, that would be extremely foolish. After all, even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your family, don't you think?"

Barefaced threat!

Ye Tianming suddenly took a step forward, looking straight at the middle-aged man, "I f*ck your mother!"

Family was his bottom line!

The middle-aged man was instantly stunned, thinking he had heard wrong, but he quickly reacted, and a terrifying killing intent suddenly surged from within him, "Bastard, what did you say?"

Ye Tianming stared at him, enunciating each word, "I... f*ck... your... mother!"

Endure?

Give in?

No, the more he endured, the more he suffered; the more he gave in, the more he was bullied.

He had already planned his retreat.

"Ridiculous!"

The middle-aged man was furious and was about to attack. At the same time, Ye Tianming was also preparing to use the Dao Sword, but just then, an old man rushed in. It was Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao glared at the middle-aged man, "Xiao Nu, this is the academy. Do you dare to make a move here?"

Xiao Nu pointed angrily at Ye Tianming, "This lowly person insulted me!"

Fang Xiao looked at Ye Tianming, who bowed deeply to Fang Xiao, suppressing his anger, "Sir, my special admission quota was given by the academy. Now, the Xiao family is bullying me and wants to buy my quota with fifteen 'Qi-Inducing Pills,' and they are threatening my family. Sir, is this his personal action, or does the academy agree with this?"

Upon hearing Ye Tianming's words, Fang Xiao's face turned ashen. He turned to look at Xiao Nu and said angrily, "I f*ck your mother!"

Ye Tianming: "......"

Xiao Nu: "......"

"Bring him in!"

Fang Xiao suddenly roared, and several guards immediately appeared in the grand hall.

Fang Xiao pointed angrily at Xiao Nu, "This person is breaking the rules and threatening the academy's students. Arrest him immediately."

"Fang Xiao."

Xiao Nu said angrily, "I am from the Xiao family..."

"The Xiao family?"

Fang Xiao interrupted him, "I don't care about your Xiao family. Arrest him immediately."

The guards rushed to Fang Xiao, ready to arrest him, but just then, a voice came from the side, "Stop."

An old man walked in, and it was Elder Yu.

Elder Yu's face was ashen, "Step back."

The guards immediately stepped back.

Fang Xiao looked at Elder Yu, who stared at him, "Fang Xiao, what crime has Xiao Nu committed that you want to arrest him?"

Fang Xiao said, "Publicly threatening the academy's students..."

Elder Yu interrupted him, "Do you have evidence?"

Fang Xiao was taken aback.

Elder Yu stared at Fang Xiao, "Without evidence, how can you arrest someone?"

"I have evidence!"

At this moment, Ye Tianming suddenly stepped forward, his palm open, revealing a cloud recorder in his hand.

Ye Tianming said, "This recorder has just recorded everything..."

Elder Yu suddenly waved his sleeve.

Boom!

The cloud recorder in Ye Tianming's hand instantly turned to ashes.

Ye Tianming looked at Elder Yu without speaking.

Fang Xiao, surprisingly, did not fly into a rage. He stared at Elder Yu, "Elder Yu, we will meet in the Guanxuan Realm."

He then turned to look at Ye Tianming, "Come with me."

He knew that at this point, arguing here was meaningless. The other party had already laid their cards on the table. To resolve this matter, they had to go to the Guanxuan Realm. If Ye Tianming stayed here, he would be in mortal danger.

Ye Tianming was about to leave with Fang Xiao, but just then, Elder Yu suddenly said, "No need to go to the Guanxuan Realm."

He opened his palm, and a yellow paper slowly floated to Fang Xiao, "This is the latest transfer order. From now on, you will no longer be the Deputy Director of the Inspection Bureau of the Guanxuan Academy. You will be the Deputy Director of the Cultural Bureau of the Tuzhou Guanxuan Academy, and you must take up the position immediately."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianming's face changed.

Fang Xiao, who was currently the Deputy Director of the Inspection Bureau, had a lot of power. The Deputy Director of the Cultural Bureau of the Tuzhou Guanxuan Academy... although the rank was the same, the power was vastly different, and Tuzhou was one of the lowest-ranked provinces, far inferior to Qing Province!

Qing Province was one of the top three provinces in the Ten Thousand Provinces.

It was his fault that Fang Xiao was demoted.

Ye Tianming felt extremely guilty.

Fang Xiao stared at Elder Yu, sneering, "Elder Yu, you have good skills, and the Xiao family has good skills. But it doesn't matter. Even if you demote me, or even if you dismiss me, it doesn't matter... Young man, let's go to the Guanxuan Realm. I don't believe these family clans can cover up the sky of the Guanxuan Universe."

He then pulled Ye Tianming and walked out.

"Ridiculous."

Elder Yu suddenly became furious, and a powerful aura enveloped Fang Xiao and Ye Tianming.

Fang Xiao turned to look at Elder Yu, sneering, "What, are you going to kill us to silence us?"

Elder Yu stared at Fang Xiao, his face extremely ugly. He certainly wanted to kill this stubborn old man, but he couldn't and didn't dare to...

Behind Fang Xiao was the Fang family. Although the Fang family was not as powerful as it once was, if he really killed Fang Xiao, it would cause a major incident. Some people in the court would definitely not stand for it, or the Fang family might directly go to the young master and kneel...

After all, even the young master would have to call Fang Yu "uncle."

Elder Yu forcibly suppressed his killing intent, staring at Fang Xiao as he left with Ye Tianming.

But just as Fang Xiao and Ye Tianming had taken a few steps, a young man ran up to them. Fang Xiao was surprised, "Fang Lian, why are you here?"

The young man named Fang Lian quickly walked up to Fang Xiao and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing Fang Lian's words, Fang Xiao's face instantly changed. He turned to look at Elder Yu and Xiao Nu, laughing in anger, "Well, well, well! Elder Yu, the Xiao family, you have good skills. Your hands have even reached into my Fang family. I tell you, even if my granddaughter cannot enter the main academy, I will still go to the Guanxuan Realm to report. If you have the guts, kill me to silence me! But I tell you, the heavens have eyes, and the gods will punish you for your evil deeds."

Xiao Nu's face turned a deep purple, "Fang Xiao, are you out of your mind? This Ye Tianming has no relation to you, why..."

Fang Xiao pointed to the sky, roaring, "The Fang family's ancestral precept: If one enters the government, one must be honest and upright, and one's conscience must not be deceived!"

He then pulled Ye Tianming and walked out.

Xiao Nu's eyes instantly filled with killing intent. The Xiao family could not let Fang Xiao go to the Guanxuan Realm to cause trouble. Some things could be done in secret, but if they were exposed, it would be extremely detrimental to the Xiao family.

Although Fang Xiao had the Fang family behind him, the Xiao family was not afraid of the Fang family. Your Fang family's ancestor had a relationship with the Guanxuan Sword Master, but does our Xiao family not have one?

Thinking of this, he slowly clenched his right hand.

Elder Yu's eyes were also filled with killing intent. He had long been dissatisfied with Fang Xiao. Although he wouldn't kill Fang Xiao himself, if someone else did, he would turn a blind eye. He had secretly ordered all the cloud recorders in the hall to be turned off.

Just as Xiao Nu was about to make a move, Ye Tianming, who had just walked out of the hall, suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Fang Xiao, bowed slightly, and said, "Sir, you are a good official, I cannot involve you."

He then, without waiting for Fang Xiao to speak, suddenly turned and rushed towards the Guanxuan Path.

Seeing this, Elder Yu's face instantly changed, "Don't let him enter the Guanxuan Path..."

He then personally made a move, punching fiercely towards Ye Tianming, a powerful force heading straight for him.

Immortal Realm!

However, at this moment, Ye Tianming had already reached the Guanxuan Path. He raised his head and roared, "Ye Tianming of the Ye family in Qing Province, I have a great injustice, and I will enter the Guanxuan Path to seek the Guanxuan Sword Master."

Boom!

A golden light suddenly surged from the Guanxuan Path, instantly enveloping him. The power of Elder Yu dissipated upon contact with the golden light.

The Guanxuan Path was activated, and golden light shot up into the sky.

The entire Qing Province was shocked!

To be precise, the entire Ten Thousand Provinces were shocked...

After a hundred years, the Guanxuan Path was reactivated.
