Chapter 341: Discussion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Yin Qingleng was gathering his men to discuss Lu Wang’s return, Xu Ning and the others also met with the people from the Ice Feather Institute.

“Brother Jiang, Lu Wang, you are back!”

Inside the loft, a bald old man welcomed Xu Ning and the other three.

The bald old man’s name was Xu Siqi, and he was one of the instructors of the Ice Feather Institute. His strength was at the peak of rank four.

Xu Siqi was a hardcore supporter of the Old Institute Head, so after the Old Institute Head died, he had been waiting for Lu Wang to return and inherit the position of institute head.

And now, Lu Wang and Jiang Xu were finally back.

“Brother Jiang, you seem to be injured?”

Xu Siqi noticed something wrong with Jiang Xu.

“I was injured.”

Jiang Xu explained his recent near-death experience with Lu Wang to Xu Siqi.

“What?! You were pursued by Yin Qingleng’s men!”

After hearing Jiang Xu’s words, Xu Siqi was furious and immediately stood up from his seat.

He had a fiery temper. He had a furious look on his face. “I’ll go find him now!”

“Instructor Xu!”

Jiang Xu grabbed Xu Siqi. “Don’t be rash! If you go to Yin Qingleng now, he won’t admit to this. Although it was his men who chased us, there is no direct evidence that they were sent by him.”

“If we start a conflict now, he might turn the tables on us. Moreover, he is now the acting institute head, holding great influence. After taking these factors into account, we can’t suppress him candidly.”

Jiang Xu’s words calmed Xu Siqi down.

“I was too impulsive…”

Xu Siqi sighed.

He then looked at Xu Ning. “Thank you, Brother Xu Ning. Thanks to you, Brother Jiang and Lu Wang were able to escape from those scums.”

While talking about their escape, Jiang Xu had already told Xu Siqi about Xu Ning rescuing them.

Xu Siqi looked at Xu Ning and felt that he was extraordinary.

At a young age, he was at the peak of the rank four. Only in the top factions of the Barren Wind Region could there be such an outstanding disciple.

“You’re welcome.”

Xu Ning cupped his fists.

“I have decided to introduce Brother Xu to the Ice Feather Institute.”

Jiang Xu said.

“Oh?”

Xu Siqi subconsciously frowned when he heard that.

This was his instinctive reaction.

There had been no precedent of recruiting powerful arcanists of unknown origin to the Ice Feather Institute.

However, after seeing Jiang Xu’s eyes, Xu Siqi realized what was going on.

Currently in the Ice Feather Institute, the faction left behind by the Old Institute Head was quite inferior to Yin Qingleng’s faction. If Xu Ning could join them, it would be a huge boost to their strength.

Moreover, Lu Wang and Jiang Xu owed Xu Ning a favor, so this deal was not too excessive.

“That’s great!”

After understanding all this, Xu Siqi quickly expressed his attitude. “Brother Xu is strong and talented. Him joining the Ice Feather Institute is a good thing. I will fully support you!”

“In the future, I will find a way to help Brother Xu become an instructor.”

Jiang Xu expressed his thoughts.

“That might be a bit difficult…”

Xu Siqi pondered for a moment before responding.

‘Status of an instructor?’

Xu Ning was a little surprised.

Jiang Xu had never expressed this thought to him before.

‘It seems that they want to tie me to their ship…’

Xu Ning thought about it and understood Jiang Xu’s intentions.

Becoming an instructor and being tied together with them was a huge help in their fight with Yin Qingleng.

“Brother Jiang, what do you plan to do?”

Xu Siqi asked.

“With the return of Young Master, we must take the initiative to hold a meeting.”

Jiang Xu said, “In the meeting, we must mention the matter of Lu Wang inheriting the position of the institute head, and use the Old Institute Head’s last words as his final orders to gain the upper hand.”

“The men on Yin Qingleng’s side will definitely not let us succeed easily. They will definitely try to find all kinds of excuses to stop Young Master from inheriting the position of institute head. Judging from the strength of the two sides, it is almost impossible for us to gain the upper hand in this decision. With Yin Qingleng’s style of doing things, even if they would appear morally wrong, they would delay this decision and find other excuses to deal with it. Considering all this, it is difficult to make Yin Qingleng give up the position of institute head.”

“However, we can use this opportunity to retreat and advance. When the matter of Young Master inheriting the position of institute head gets rejected, we can recommend Brother Xu Ning to become an instructor. This way, we will receive less resistance.”

Jiang Xu’s words were obviously thought through.

“Okay!”

After Xu Siqi heard this, he agreed with Jiang Xu’s idea. “For this plan to succeed, I will find the others who still support Lu Wang. Everyone, let’s work together in the upcoming meeting.”

“Thanks for the trouble!”

Jiang Xu said.

Xu Siqi waved his hand and quickly went to find other helpers.

Afterwards, Xu Ning and Guan Yue had their residences arranged and settled down.

“Brother Xu, will we be in danger if we get involved in the vortex of the Ice Feather Institute?”

After calming down, Guan Yue found Xu Ning and expressed her concerns.

Although she had a place to stay, life was still not calm.

“Where there is danger, there are opportunities.”

Xu Ning said, “If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity, it will be almost impossible for us to join a big arcanist organization. Although the current situation is a little complicated, I think the subsequent results should not be too bad.”

Xu Ning’s confidence did not come from Jiang Xu and Xu Siqi, but from himself.

If he became an instructor of the Ice Feather Institute in the future, he would obtain a large amount of arcanist resources. With those resources in hand, the time needed to advance to rank five would be much shorter.

Once he advanced to rank five, Yin Qingleng would definitely not be his opponent.

“Mmm…”

After hearing Xu Ning’s words, Guan Yue felt a little relieved.

After spending so much time together, she had long regarded Xu Ning as her backbone. She believed whatever Xu Ning said.

Two days went by.

“Brother Xu, let’s go!”

Jiang Xu personally came to find Xu Ning. “The higher-ups meeting of the Ice Feather Institute will begin soon. Xu Siqi and I will do our best to let you obtain the position of an instructor.”

“Okay.”

Xu Ning nodded and followed Jiang Xu to the meeting place.

There were about ten people already in the room.

As soon as Xu Ning walked in, everyone looked at Xu Ning.

There was some curiosity, some kindness, and some with fear and mockery in their eyes.

With just a look, Xu Ning had basically confirmed the identities of both sides.

“Xu Ning, sit.”

Jiang Xu gestured for Xu Ning to sit down. “The people who came today are all from the Ice Feather Institute. Except for the instructors, there are also some important people.”

“Mmm…”

Xu Ning responded and continued to observe.
