Regarding all this, Pei Xuanjing was well aware and tacitly accepted the matter.
“You’ve worked hard over the years, Taoist Friend,” Pei Xuanjing turned around and said to Qingyang Zi.
Indeed, he had secluded himself for over a hundred years, cultivating arduously and never meddling in the affairs of the Taoist Academy. All the numerous tasks of the Academy were handled by Qingyang Zi.
Even though the Academy had a self-regulating system in place, which Pei Xuanjing had established at the very beginning, there were inevitably some unexpected incidents.
And although these incidents were not numerous, each one was not simple and required Qingyang Zi’s personal attention, consuming a great deal of his energy and mind.
“The Dean is too polite. It’s all part of my duties,” Qingyang Zi did not seek credit, feeling that it was only natural to deal with these matters.
With effort came reward. Sitting in the position of Deputy Dean of the Taoist Academy with considerable influence, naturally meant bearing the corresponding responsibilities; it was inevitable.
Moreover, having the position of Deputy Dean, he had gained far more than he had given. If not for this position, how could he have acquired so many resources and reached the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm?
Next, Qingyang Zi briefed Pei Xuanjing about the Academy’s developments over the past century and some incidents that the Dean needed to be aware of.
Although all this information had been uploaded to the Academy’s Share System and was accessible to Pei Xuanjing at any time, Qingyang Zi still chose to go through them again.
Of course, these resolved issues didn’t require much concern. Rather, there were some thorny problems that even the Deputy Dean, Qingyang Zi, could not handle and required the personal judgment of Pei Xuanjing, the Dean.
“Over the years, the number of disciples in the Academy has been increasing. Even though many leave or are poached by other Sect Forces, the number that remains is substantial,” Qingyang Zi discussed the current phenomena.
As Heaven and Earth progressed, more and more people could engage in cultivation, and the number of disciples in the Academy continued to grow, despite the fact that they were constantly being drawn away by various Sect Forces, and some disciples graduated and left. Still, the number of disciples in the Academy kept increasing every year.
While this was a positive sign, as the younger disciples of the Academy grew up, many of them rose to the higher echelons of the Academy and began to converge and seek to change the current state of the Academy. They wanted the Academy to start intervening in the struggles among the various Forces Between Heaven and Earth.
Qingyang Zi naturally disapproved of such a situation. The founding mission and core of the Academy was to abstain from worldly disputes, solely providing a path of cultivation for countless members of the human race.
If they were now to intervene in various conflicts, the Academy’s transcendent status would change, contradicting its core values.
But if only a small faction of disciples harbored such thoughts, Qingyang Zi would have decisively stopped it, demoting their positions and dismantling their unity.
However, these individuals were not simple; they had banded together early on, and by the time Qingyang Zi truly noticed the situation, it had developed a momentum difficult to curb.
Although he wielded the power and authority to do so, even if they were numerous, Qingyang Zi could handle them, but as only the Deputy Dean, such actions would cause significant disturbances among the numerous disciples, which was precisely what Qingyang Zi wished to avoid.
Therefore, all he could do was temporarily suppress the matter and wait for the emergence of Pei Xuanjing, the current Dean, to inform him and have him address it.
“Even after more than a hundred years of absence, Dean, the Academy that you established commands immense reverence among all its disciples. Only you can resolve this matter without causing turmoil and preventing many disciples from overthinking,” Qingyang Zi sincerely said, bowing to Pei Xuanjing.

His words contained no exaggeration and were utterly from the heart.
This was the dignity of a Pioneer, like the founding Emperor, whose empire was their creation and who commanded supreme dignity and influence. Hence, whatever they did gained support, undeterred by opposition, and unbothered by the storms it might raise.
Just like the founding Emperor of the Great Ming Empire, who after establishing the empire, could execute those renowned and influential generals who committed taboo acts without causing instability in the Empire.
As the founder of the Taoist Academy, Pei Xuanjing, like the founder of an empire, possessed supreme dignity and an ability to rally support. Moreover, with his own formidable power, he could suppress all opposition.
The concerns of Qingyang Zi were not even considerations for Pei Xuanjing. Where Qingyang Zi’s actions might cause ripples, Pei Xuanjing’s involvement left no room for resistance.
“Is that so?” A trace of displeasure appeared on Pei Xuanjing’s face.
He was certainly aware of the vast power of the Academy, but Pei Xuanjing had never contemplated entangling the Academy in the conflicts of the various Forces Between Heaven and Earth.
In fact, he could even reduce external scrutiny and cultivate an image of the Academy as beyond mundane matters.
Because, in Pei Xuanjing’s vision, the Academy was a place to provide many with the opportunity for cultivation, acting as a research Holy Land to preserve the human race’s heritage and to forge new paths.
