Chapter 363: Temporary Withdrawal from the Academy
Chapter 363: Temporary withdrawal from the academy
The third elder Lu Qing's face was a little ugly, but he just glanced at Tianqi and the others, and then looked away, but the four elders Zhou Xing glanced at Tianqi, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Do you know how to do alchemy?" Zhou Xing suddenly asked.
Tianqi was secretly surprised, he had never seen this Elder Zhou Xing before, how did he know that he could do alchemy? Could it be that Elder Qin sued him after he knew that he could do alchemy?
Now, in front of him were the top four elders of the academy, that is, the four chief elders of the academy, and Tianqi naturally didn't dare to hide anything.
"The student union only knows a little bit about it, but the student doesn't know how Elder Zhou knows about this?"
"You have a special smell of an alchemist", and then, Zhou Xing asked in a sideways ear, "What is the realm of your current alchemy technique?"
"The pinnacle realm of the high-grade elixir", Tianqi said truthfully.
"Well, it's not bad, I don't know who the teacher is?" Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction and asked.
"My tutor was also a student of Elder Zhou, called Wang Lu, I wonder if Elder Zhou Xing ever had an image?" Tianqi asked tentatively.
Elder Zhou Xing thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Could it be the royal road from the royal family of the Fili Empire more than ten years ago?"
Tianqi smiled: "It is under the teacher."
"Oh, it turned out to be that kid, I still remember that I was traveling abroad, and I happened to come across a local alchemy conference, the kid was over fifty years old, but he was still happy to participate in these competitions and won the first place, at that time I remember that after he won the first place, his tone was also a little arrogant, I blamed a few words on the side, and then the kid was not convinced, and insisted on competing with me, but he lost and was convinced, but then guess what happened to him?"
The more Zhou Xing spoke, the happier he became, not waiting for everyone to answer, and then said: "That kid actually wants to worship me as a teacher, I didn't agree at the time, after all, he has passed the golden age of learning alchemy, but this kid is dead-faced, wherever I go, he will follow him, no matter how I drive him away, I just don't listen, that tenacity, hehe, is the biggest temper among the students I have seen."
"Okay, Fourth, don't talk about these irrelevant things," Elder Lu Qing said impatiently.
Tianqi secretly thought to himself, this Lu Qing seemed to be a little dissatisfied with himself.
At this time, Elder Qin paused and said to Tianqi: "Tianqi, the resolution of this Council of Elders is to dispose of you in accordance with the rules of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, expel you from school, and send you home, but Elder Luo Tong has denied the resolution of the Council of Elders, so the resolution of the Council of Elders is tentative, and it is up to our four chief elders to decide whether the resolution of the Council of Elders can be passed."
When Tianqi heard this, he understood what Elder Qin meant, and he also knew the rules and regulations of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, if it weren't for Elder Luo Tong's rejection of the resolution of the Council of Elders at a critical moment, I am afraid that he would have gone home at this time, so Tianqi also felt a little grateful to Elder Luo Tong in his heart.
And when it comes to the rules and regulations of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, first of all, we must understand that the Heavenly Spirit Academy is divided into the inner and outer courts, the outer courtyard is in the Emperor County, and the inner courtyard is in the Deserted County, at the same time, the students of the academy are also divided into three kinds of outer disciples, inner disciples and core disciples, the disciples of the outer courtyard of the Heavenly Spirit Academy in the Emperor County are the outer disciples, and the ordinary disciples of the inner courtyard of the Heavenly Spirit Academy in the Deserted County are the inner disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, and the disciples who can enter the territory of the Heavenly Spirit are the core disciples, the outer disciples are in charge of the outer court, and the chief executive of the inner court is the Great Elder (he used to be the dean, but the dean travels all year round, so there is a great elder in charge), and the core disciple is in charge of the second elder Luo Tong, The inner disciple is in charge of the Third Elder Lu Qing, and the Academy's Alchemy Union is managed by the Fourth Elder Zhou Xing, and the other elders assist the work of the four Chief Elders.
In general, the elders do their part and do not interfere with each other. For example, if the core disciple commits a crime, it can be handled by Elder Luo Tong, and similarly, if the inner disciple commits a crime, it can be dealt with by Lu Qing. And because of the actual situation, the first four elders are in retreat all year round, and they may encounter things that Lu Qing and others cannot handle alone, so a special elders' meeting was set up. If this is the case, then a general fono is convened, which is decided by the elders.
However, there is also a characteristic of this elders, that is, the four chief elders will not participate, but the four chief elders have a veto power over the resolutions of the elders, and as long as one of their first four elders opposes the resolutions of the elders, then the resolutions of the elders' general fono cannot be passed, and the final resolution must be made by the four chief elders.
The resolution of the four chief elders is very simple, at least three people must oppose the resolution of the elders, and only two or one person oppose the resolution of the elders, then the objection is invalid, and the resolution of the general fono can be enforced.
When Zhou Xing heard this, he retracted his thoughts, pointed at Tianqi and said: "It's really a bit farther, but since he is a student of my student, and now he has entered the Heavenly Spirit Academy, it means that this kid is also destined for me, I will first state my position, I don't agree with the resolution of the Council of Elders."
"What do you think of the third child?" Qin Chang nodded, looked at Lu Qing again, and asked.
"I ...... As the leader of the inner level disciples, I should have enforced the law according to the law, and according to the rules of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, the students fought privately with each other for no reason, and fought with their lives, and they must be severely punished. Therefore, it stands to reason that Yi Tianqi should withdraw from the school and be repatriated to ...... home", Elder Lu Qing said with a straight face as he looked unreasonable.
"Third child, you have been in retreat for so many years, why hasn't your thinking changed at all? You are still so old and stubborn, you only know how to enforce the law according to the law, how can you not know that there are extenuating circumstances, and you are gracious outside the law?" Zhou Xing said dissatisfiedly before Lu Qing could finish speaking.
"Enforce the law according to the law, what's wrong? If there is a mercy outside the law, where are the school rules of the Heavenly Spirit Academy? How will you convince the public in the future?" Lu Qing snorted lightly, retorted, paused slightly, and continued: "But people can be ruthless, what you say is not unreasonable, so I will choose to let the Council of Elders make a decision on this matter."
"Fourth, don't talk about the third, you don't know the stubborn temper of the third, besides, as the leader of the inner disciples, he should also enforce the law according to the law", Elder Qin stopped both of them and argued, and said: "Besides, the third child has already been extrajudicially gracious in this matter, otherwise this matter is only in his charge, where does it need to be decided by the elders?"
When Tianqi heard this, he realized that this Lu Qing was not dissatisfied with himself, but that this Lu Qing was too old-fashioned, and he only knew that those rigid rules were used as the code of conduct, but fortunately, this time he was moved with compassion and did not directly punish Tianqi, but handed it over to the Council of Elders to deal with.
"Third brother, you've been talking for a long time, but tell me what you think about this matter," Elder Qin asked.
"As the leader of the inner disciples, it's not easy for me to participate in this matter, so I give up my position," Lu Qing said with a somewhat strange expression.
"Hehe, third child, I misjudged you, you have grown, compared to the previous tendon, now you have improved a lot", Zhou Xing couldn't help but laugh and ridicule when he saw Lu Qing's strange look.
And Elder Qin nodded in understanding, and glanced at Elder Luo Tong again, Elder Luo Tong smiled at Elder Qin: "Haha, I, Luo Tong, don't care about the rules of the academy, besides, this Yi Tianqi is the elder brother recognized by my granddaughter, I agree with Zhou Xing and disagree with the resolution of the Council of Elders."
"You old guys, you just don't have a good heart", Elder Qin smiled bitterly: "A few of you don't express your position at the Council of Elders, but in the end let me make the final decision, if I agree with the resolution of the Council of Elders, then the resolution of the Council of Elders will be valid, if I don't agree with the resolution of the Council of Elders, Yi Tianqi will be fine."
At this time, Lu Qing gave up his position, while Luo Tong and Zhou Xing denied the resolution of the Council of Elders, so the final decision on this matter fell on the Great Elder.
"Old man Qin, you have to think clearly, your granddaughter also recognizes that kid as her brother, to put it thoroughly, that kid is also half of your grandson, you can't be unreasonable", Elder Luo Tong glanced at Elder Qin and admonished.
Elder Qin glared at Elder Luo Tong and said angrily, "I will naturally think about this matter clearly."
Elder Qin paused, and then said: "As the great elder of the academy, I have to state first, if the matter is not severely punished, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other students, but this old man Luo also said, I am also half of Yi Tianqi's grandfather, and besides, this matter was provoked by the two brothers of Naheshan and Hmong first, and the crime is not all on Yi Tianqi, so it is reasonable, punishment is necessary, but it must be moderate."
"Then what are you going to do?" Elder Luo Tong said urgently.
"I plan to punish Yi Tianqi for a year of resignation and reflection, and after a year, his school status will be restored, what do you think?" Elder Qin touched his beard and said.
"Why did you old man come up with such a strange idea? That kid has no relatives here, and you let him go on strike for a year, didn't you change the law and drive him home?" Elder Luo Tong said dissatisfiedly.
"Didn't the academy often send students to the Northern Demon Beast Mountain Range to train, and I didn't say that he couldn't go to the Northern Demon Beast Mountain Range to train for a year," Elder Qin said with a smile.
"Hey, that's a good idea", Zhou Xing nodded and said, "I heard that the group of stinky boys of the Blue Gang are threatening to avenge their gang leader, so that many incidents can be avoided, and the students can be given an explanation."
"Yi Tianqi, do you accept this punishment for you?" Elder Qin asked.
"Thank you for the kindness of the elders, the students thank you here, for the kindness of the elders, how can the students not be willing to accept it?" Tianqi originally felt that the life in the academy was relatively boring, far from the reality of going out to practice, this decision of the elders was just in line with his wishes, how could he not accept it?
Elder Qin nodded and said, "In that case, you can prepare as much as possible, and I will help you arrange the itinerary tomorrow."
