Capital, 6th Ring 9th District, Corvin Cemetery.

The huge cemetery was quiet, there was no one in the cemetery, only the occasional breeze blowing through the fallen flower trees, bringing up a few dead leaves.

It is a kind of broad-leaved plant that the ancestors brought to the new world from their homeland, with strong vitality, its flowering period is around the end of spring and early summer every year, the flowers are very small, the petals are four petals, it is a long strip of milky white, and has a light fragrance. It became a symbol of the heroic soul during the war with the cavemen and the Holy Alliance, and it continues to this day, and is now mostly planted in the park's mausoleum.

Because of its historical particularity, the capital has the largest fallen flower forest in the empire, scattered in all corners of the city, and the Corvin Cemetery is one of the cemeteries built to commemorate the heroic spirit of the "Battle of Nagato", which is naturally also a fallen flower woodland, but at this time, the leaves of the trees are almost falling, let alone flowers.

Since the establishment of the empire, almost all the cemeteries commemorating the heroic spirits have become private cemeteries for demons, and citizens of other races can be buried in these places without money, and the Corvin Cemetery is the resting place of the death squad commander Morton Cowan and his forty-seven subordinate death squad members of the "Battle of Nagato".

They are a pair of sisters, the elder sister is called Ye Duxue, who was asked to be buried by Valhalla Elder Dan Mosheng, in exchange for his burial qualifications, and the younger sister is called Duyu, who was hand-picked by His Majesty the ruling King Kong El to be buried. The other twelve heads of the thirteen families of the secret party were opposed to the burial of the Twilight and Twilight sisters in the Corvin Cemetery, but Ye Zhiqiu calmly accepted the kindness from Dan Mosheng and Kong El, because from the perspective of the mausoleum, the Corvin Cemetery is indeed a rare feng shui treasure, and as for the impact of this matter in the demon spirit society, it is not within his consideration.

The tombs of Duxue and Duyu are adjacent to each other, and the tombstones are all carved in marble, only the maple leaf family emblem of the Ye family is engraved, and the rest is not too decorated. The tombstones of the two tombs have just been cleaned, and the water stains left on them have not completely dried, and there are two bouquets of white roses in front of the tombstones, which are planted by Ye Zhiqiu in the greenhouse built in the academy, not those flowers that are ripened by magic on the market, and Ye Zhiqiu himself is sitting on the ground between the two tombstones, with a half-burned cigarette in his mouth.

He didn't have classes today, so he skipped his job as the principal, and didn't tell Gu Qiushi that he ran here alone, but getting rid of the secretary he got along with day and night didn't mean that he could get rid of the secretary who was a little annoying to his father.

He was found by Gu Xihai, Gu Xihai watched him carry water to clean the tombstones for Twilight and Twilight, just stood there motionless, the two of them didn't say anything, when he finished washing the tombstones, he began to sit down and smoke, Gu Xihai still looked at him without saying anything, it didn't feel good to be stared at by a burly bearded man, but Ye Zhiqiu was still smoking as if no one was around, and he didn't plan to speak first.

He squinted at Gu Xihai, this man's sideburns were already slightly gray, although his body still looked burly and powerful, but this could not change the fact that he was already in his fifties, and he had already begun to enter his twilight years. The relationship between him and Gu Xihai is not complicated, when Ye Zhongxuan was the principal, Gu Xihai was Ye Zhongxuan's secretary, if there was no Ye Zhiqiu, Gu Xihai would have been the next president of the academy and the head of the secret party, and he was the orthodox successor of the secret party.

But there is no if in this world, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly appeared in the capital, interviewed Ye Zhongxuan, and joined the Ye family, and the other old people of the secret party have always wondered what kind of ecstasy soup Ye Zhiqiu gave Ye Zhongxuan, so that this wise old man will not hesitate to go against the internal decision of the secret party to leave a suicide note, and Ye Zhiqiu will take over the position of the president of Tiangong College in the entire capital.

Ye Zhongxuan's violent death was sudden, so that the secret party had no time to react, and they didn't expect the suicide note he left, when they knew, the matter of Ye Zhiqiu taking over as the principal had already spread in the capital, and those who were opposed to the family were unwilling, so they had to watch Ye Zhiqiu sit in the position of the head of the secret party, after all, this position was inseparable from the position of the principal of Tiangong Academy.

Gu Xihai is a notoriously violent temper, and everyone in the secret party thought that Gu Xihai and this person who had robbed him of his position would definitely be like water, but the result was not like this.

Gu Xihai is a person who admits death, he respects Ye Zhongxuan very much, for Mr. Zhong Xuan's will, he will definitely spare no effort to carry it out, even if Ye Zhiqiu is a piece of mud that can't support the wall, he will cultivate him, and then help him to the position of the patriarch, so Gu Xihai finally became the only family head who supported Ye Zhiqiu among the thirteen secret parties.

So Ye Zhiqiu doesn't like Gu Xihai, because this kind of person is very troublesome.

Gu Xihai glanced at his watch and took the lead in breaking the silence, "There is still half an hour left for the school board meeting, I think you should have rested long enough." ”

Ye Zhiqiu frowned, and half of the cigarette burned to the end at once, he remembered that Gu Qiushi had indeed told him earlier today that he was going to hold a school board meeting today, but he didn't take it to heart, he spit out a big smoke ring, and at the same time replied resolutely, "Don't go." ”

Gu Xihai seemed to have expected his answer, there was no surprised expression on his face, he asked very calmly, "Give me a reason." ”

"I don't want to go. Ye Zhiqiu replied without changing his face, he has always been very straightforward about Gu Xihai.

Gu Xihai frowned slightly, "As the eldest patriarch, this reason is very irresponsible. ”

Ye Zhiqiu stared at the cigarette butt that he was sandwiched between his index finger and middle finger, a small flame suddenly ignited and quickly disappeared, the cigarette butt turned into a small pinch of ashes, a gust of autumn wind swept by, and took them all away, Ye Zhiqiu looked at the ashes that went with the wind, and said casually, "If you think I don't deserve to sit in this position, you can impeach me, if they can do it." ”

Two years ago, at the school board meeting, the Ren family and the Pompeii family proposed sanctions against Ye Zhiqiu, and Ye Zhiqiu suppressed the opposition with just one sentence, "Which of you thinks you are more capable of being this principal than me?"

In fact, no one in the secret party doubts Ye Zhiqiu's ability, the reason why many family heads have such a big opinion on Ye Zhiqiu is entirely because of Ye Zhiqiu's style of acting, the history of the secret party is almost the same as that of the empire, for hundreds of years, the secret party has always chosen to secretly inherit and act in a low-key corner where no one notices. However, after Ye Zhiqiu became the principal of the academy, he once pushed the Tiangong Academy, the center of the secret party, to the forefront, and had a close personal relationship with the elders of the Valhalla Hall, recruiting demon spirit students, and even made Prince Luo Xi a student of the academy, and the old people of the secret party began to be afraid, they were worried that their secrets would be exposed in so many eyes, so they couldn't wait to let Ye Zhiqiu step down.

But when Ye Zhiqiu questioned, they noticed that the academy was no longer the academy they were familiar with, and now the Tiangong Academy was tightly entangled with the Valhalla and the Imperial Palace, and there were already many demon spirit students in the academy, and Ye Zhiqiu was the link that maintained these relationships, they couldn't give the outside world a reasonable explanation for him to step down abruptly, and the old people of the secret party were used to hiding in the shadows and surviving unobtrusively, they had to admit that none of them could handle the current academy problems better than Ye Zhiqiu, at least in a short period of time, they couldn't find a better candidate for the principal than Ye Zhiqiu。

Gu Xihai's brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", and he sighed, "A united secret party is better than a loose secret party, as the head of the family, at least make an example for the juniors." ”

"The old guys are much more comfortable with deceiving young people than I am, I don't have to worry about it, and the upper echelons of the secret party have long been loose. Ye Zhiqiu was very disdainful, the thirteen families of the secret party seemed to advance and retreat together on the surface, taking the rights and interests of the entire human race as their own responsibility, but the heads of the families who controlled the secret party were not so noble. For the opposition of these family heads to their role as the head of the family, Ye Zhiqiu put forward a proposal to separate the position of the head of the family and the position of the head of the college, but it was unanimously opposed by the head of the family for various reasons, for them, instead of separating the head of the family and the principal, it is better to let Ye Zhiqiu continue to sit in the position of the head of the family, the college is the lifeblood of the secret party, and when anyone is likely to be the head of the family, the heads of the family do not want to be unable to hold the lifeline in their hands at that time. This is the current situation within the secret party.

"Ye Zhiqiu!" Gu Xihai's eyes widened angrily, staring at Ye Zhiqiu directly, and he almost grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"I've made an appointment, and you can go back to the school board meeting. Ye Zhiqiu didn't seem to care about Gu Xihai's anger at all.

"Have an appointment, with whom?" asked Gu Xihai.

"Someone I don't think you want to meet. Ye Zhiqiu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "But I'm afraid it's too late for you to leave now." ”

There was a gust of wind blowing in the cemetery, and the wind was not in a hurry, and it rolled up a lot of dead leaves, and the wind not only took away the dead leaves, but also brought a person.

After the wind stopped, Kong Er stood in front of Ye Zhiqiu, close to Gu Xihai.

Gu Xihai was startled, his forehead was bruised, his fists were clenched, his body was tense, and he looked vigilantly at the suddenly extra person in front of him.

"I've found quite a few circumvention spells around the cemetery, and I think you should understand that it's illegal. Kong El said with a smile on his face, avoiding magic will allow people to subconsciously avoid a place, but it has no effect on high-end spellcasters, and this is the reason why there are only two people in the Covin Cemetery, Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Xihai.

Kong El turned to look at Gu Xihai at the same time, "You didn't say there would be anyone else. ”

Gu Xihai was slightly stunned, then relaxed his tense body and saluted to Kong Er, "Hello, Your Majesty." ”

"He is one of the trustees of Tiangong Academy, and the next thing involves the academy, and I think he is qualified to listen to it. Ye Zhiqiu patted the dust on his buttocks and stood up, "Also, Your Majesty, I saw rotten eggs on my wife's grave." ”

Sora El's expression was slightly dark, "I'll give you an explanation for this matter." ”

"I'm sure you will, so how about the other thing?" Ye Zhiqiu straightened the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the sunlight reflected on the mirror covered the glasses under the lenses.

"I've read all the contents of the letter, but I'd rather hear it from you in person. Sora El replied.

"If you want to ease the relationship between the demon spirit and other citizens, then at least give everyone a fair chance to get an education, abolish the household registration survey system for students in Tiangong Academy, and let all public schools admit students of all races equally, and eliminate educational discrimination. ”

"What! Ye Zhiqiu, you want to cancel the household registration investigation system!" Gu Xihai looked shocked, Ye Zhiqiu understood the reason for his shock, Gu Xihai, like those old guys in the secret party, witnessed the establishment of the household registration investigation system. It was a shackle on the heads of all the people in the secret party, and one of the reasons why the old guys opposed themselves was it, and the reason why the shackles were put on the head of Tiangong Academy was because "Zen Dao Ming" made Tiangong Academy no longer low-key, and they were afraid that their high profile would bring more shackles to the academy.

However, Ye Zhiqiu did not answer Gu Xihai, his question was not important, what mattered was Kong Er's answer, Gu Xihai also noticed his gaffe, closed his mouth, and also set his eyes on Kong Er.

"Ye Zhiqiu, you should understand what your request means. Sora El looked at him meaningfully.

"It means that magic is open to all races, Your Majesty, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of here, magic is not a synonym for force, it is a technology, it is a means, open magic to everyone, gather the strengths of everyone, and let the study of magic go further, it is not a bad thing for the empire. ”

Kong El had a mocking look on his face, "Ye Zhiqiu, I never said that I was afraid of something, you know I was referring to other things. ”

"I thought there was another thing, you've seen pretty clearly. Ye Zhiqiu was also sarcastic, "Magic is the prerogative of the demon spirit, and this is the root cause of the estrangement and dispute between the demon spirit and other citizens, and His Majesty should be very clear about this." ”

"I can silence everyone's voice and open my magic to everyone, but rights and duties are commensurate, and you and I know that very well. Kong Er looked at Ye Zhiqiu with a smile.

"I don't think there are any 'obligations' in the empire that have not been apportioned to ordinary people. Ye Zhiqiu responded.

"I think it's a good idea to propose that Tiangong Academy send a certain number of graduates to the three major legions every year. Although Kong Er said this proposal with a smile, Ye Zhiqiu felt that he was serious.

Strictly speaking, this proposal is very tempting, the three legions are the direct troops of the three kings, and they are also the most elite army of the empire, and the legions are all demon spirit casters, allowing the graduates of Tiangong Academy to join the three legions can even be said to be a compliment to the academy, even Gu Xihai's expression changed dramatically after hearing this, but Ye Zhiqiu still did not intend to accept it.

"I refuse. He replied calmly.

"Why?" Gu Xihai and Kong Er asked at the same time, but the latter's expression did not change, as if he had expected Ye Zhiqiu's answer.

"I am an ordinary educator, and Tiangong Academy is not a boot camp. Ye Zhiqiu replied very simply, because he was an educator, it was impossible to push his students into battle.

"I don't think the commander of the valley is just an ordinary educator. Kong Er said calmly, Gu Xihai looked at him puzzled, and then at Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly lowered his head, took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the non-existent stains on it, "Your Majesty, let's talk about it bluntly, what do you want me to do?"

"You said you would be Luo Xi's teacher. ”

"Didn't His Highness tell you that I taught the history of magic in their class. Ye Zhiqiu was still looking down and fiddling with his glasses.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. ”

Ye Zhiqiu's hand paused for a moment, then put away his handkerchief, put on his glasses, and raised his head, he stared at Kong Er's eyes for a while, and the latter responded to his gaze very calmly, "Then you tell him that he may come home later from school in the future." ”

"I'll tell him. Kong El smiled, he turned to leave, and within a few steps his figure dissipated in the wind, leaving only one sentence in the air, "The press conference of the new decree will be on the first of next month, don't be absent." ”

Immediately, Ye Zhiqiu felt that the evasion magic he had set up near the cemetery had been lifted, he lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Let's go." Then he walked out of the cemetery.

"Ye Zhiqiu, what are you planning?" Gu Xihai asked loudly, but Ye Zhiqiu didn't say anything, Gu Xihai looked at his back with a complicated expression, gritted his teeth, and yelled, "No matter what you want to do, I will definitely support you, but if I let me know that you are doing something that endangers the secret party, I will definitely be the first to let you go." ”

"That's your business. Ye Zhiqiu replied with his back to him, and at the same time a subtle smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
