“Think about it. Su Yu is a rare genius in Nanyuan. If I write the Thunder Origin Saber for him, it will be very difficult for me to copy it with my own willpower. If he learns the Thunder Origin Saber, he will be able to establish himself in the Great Xia Prefecture What do you think?”
“Wouldn’t Nanyuan Academy have face if he gets first place? Woudn’t the academy have any credit?”
‘If he does well in the Great Xia Prefecture, will he repay academy in the future?’
“If he were to reach Soaring Realm, or even Cloud Realm he could just leak some benefits. When he’s in the mood, he can come to the academy to write a few essays of words of will. Wouldn’t any one of them be worth much more than what you paid today?”
“Old Wang! You have to look far ahead. You’re already so old, why are you still so shallow!”
Liu Wenyan said bitterly, “He’s talented, resilient, and has a strong foundation. He’s also a sentimental person. If you don’t pay him back now, what right does he have to repay you?”
The old academy head tugged at his beard, breaking a few more strands. After a while, he sighed and said, “It’s still more than a hundred merit points!”
“What’s the big deal? Just kill another Soaring Realm cultivator.”
“You… just return it. Why don’t you kill another one for us then!”
Liu Wenyan said impatiently, “Why are you talking so much nonsense? What’s the point of keeping the merit points? The academy has gained a lot from teaching last time, and no one needs to use them for the time being. Just treat it as giving them to me. I’m a Soaring Realm Civilization Master, so I still have some basic merit points. The Great Xia Civilization Academy will definitely allocate funds later.”
As a Civilization Master, he was not in the Civilization Academy, but he still had the basic research fees.
Writing the words of will and tempering the body required resources.
Even though Liu Wenyan was only a civilized teacher, according to the rules, he also had a portion of the basic income.
The old academy head widened his eyes and glared at him. “Compensation? I asked last time. The Great Xia Prefecture said that you owe them 30,000 merit points. You won’t be able to repay them in your lifetime, so don’t even think about it!”
“30,000?”
Liu Wenyan was stunned for a moment before asking curiously, “Only 30,000? When I left the academy back then, I owed more than 100,000. How did it become 30,000?”
“…”
The old governor was speechless. ‘Damn, you know!’
Taking a deep breath, the old residence master said angrily, “In any case, there’s nothing left for you. I’ll give you the item, but… I have to say this in advance. When Su Yu’s will materializes, he has to find a time to return a text of will!”
“That’s for sure. If he doesn’t return it, I’ll write another one when my willpower recovers.”
Liu Wenyan smiled. At least he didn’t have to dig out what little he had.
The old academy head sighed again and couldn’t help but complain, “The Great Xia Prefecture didn’t even give you the basic merit points. Your body tempering… What should you do next? If you delay it for a few more years, how old will you be?”
“So be it.”
Liu Wenyan chuckled. “Anyway, I don’t have to worry about food and drinks. Also, I only owe three 30,000. Did you ask what the situation was?”
“I did. Researcher Wu returned 50,000 for you.”
Liu Wenyan frowned and cursed after a while. “Idiot!”
“Mn?”
“Out of my mind! I don’t have to worry about the debt. What’s the use of 50,000 yuan?! Besides, the merit owed by the Great Xia Prefecture isn’t real merit. That was because I was so angry back then that my brain went crazy. I didn’t really borrow that many merit points!”
Liu Wenyan was a little helpless. 50,000 merit points was not a small sum!
It was alot!
He couldn’t be bothered to talk about this anymore and changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about this. Prepare your things as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I’ll copy the Thunder Origin Saber. If this kid can learn it, even if he’s at the eighth level of the Origin Opening Realm, with the Thunder Origin Saber and his divine runes, he can easily deal with ordinary people at the second or third level of the Thousand Pound Realm.”
At this moment, the old academy head could not care less about his heartache. He nodded. That kid was really accomplished. Whether he would return to the academy would depend on his conscience.
After all, Liu Wenyan was here. He was just saying it. If Liu Wenyan really insisted, no one could object even if he used all the wealth that the academy had accumulated.
Before leaving, the old academy head suddenly turned around and said, “Old Liu, if you really can’t do it… just give up! If you exchange your gods and devils blood for body tempering, you’ll immediately rise to the third level. In a few years, you might be able to enter the Mountains Seas Cloud Realm!”
Liu Wenyan smiled. “Give up what? I don’t understand.”
“Old Liu… you’re in your seventies!”
The old academy head had a complicated look in his eyes. He was in his seventies. He really wasn’t young anymore.
Liu Wenyan blew his beard and glared at him. “So what if you’re in your seventies! You’re a Ten-Thousand Stone Realm Cultivator, yet you still doubt me, a Soaring Realm Cultivator. Do you know how to fly?”
“…”
The old academy head did not know whether to laugh or cry. He muttered a few words and left quickly.
‘Still the same after all these years, old man.’
After he left, Liu Wenyan exhaled and said angrily, “Blood of Gods and Devils… Am I stupid? You want to only spare me few drops of it? Dream on! Back then, I owed more than 100,000 merit points… It’s about time you give me a complete corpse of the King of the All Races!”
“Over seventy…”
Liu Wenyan muttered to himself. He was indeed not young.
‘Let’s wait!’
If Su Yu could really go far, and… he had to continue observing.
‘Five years is not enough!’
Ten years. He would have to observe for at least another five years. When he reached the Great Xia Prefecture, he would have to continue observing to see if he could maintain his original intention and continue to be tenacious as he moved forward.
“I’m not dead yet… I can still press on”
Liu Wenyan muttered. If Su Yu couldn’t do it, he would continue to wait until he died before returning to the Great Xia Civilization Academy.
“Wu… when you get there, it’s up to you.”
Liu looked out the window. ‘We’ve waited fifty years. What’s the difference?’
In the next moment, the sentimental Liu Wenyan suddenly cursed, “Idiot! You don’t f*cking want to give me 50,000 merit points! You actually used it to repay your debt. You’re as stupid as you were 50 years ago!”
“No wonder he’s still a senior researcher after all these years. He didn’t even make it as a deputy governor!”
“A civilisation master has to be smart. You are as idiotic as a pig!”
“…”
Liu cursed for a while, but he was still angry. ‘50,000 merit points. You must be crazy. Who asked you to return them?’
