Imperial Treasure

Very few students attended this class. After all, it’s the beginning of the semester, and the literary course as an elective is somewhat peculiar, only attracting those who want to slack off.

Plus, the teacher isn’t exactly a sight to behold...

These were the thoughts of everyone before class began.

Everyone was either dozing off on the desk, devouring their food, or checking their makeup in small mirrors—yes! Even in Harvard, there are those fallen to become academic slackers, or naturally smart but incredibly lazy individuals, along with girls who just love beauty, beauty, and more beauty...

Sui Yi walked into the room and witnessed this multitude of human behaviors without so much as batting an eye.

Enter the door, close the door.

Ten minutes after the class began.

After seeing the new teacher silently write two lines of words...

Almost everyone present began to fervently study and write...

And outside the window, two people flew by, an elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged man.

"Hey, judging by the situation, the effect is excellent. This Mr. Sui is indeed formidable, no wonder he can write such outstanding words..."

"Yes, it looks really good. These people are even lazy to cultivate, let alone write. If not for Ice Venerable’s contempt for the students’ crude speech and poorly written reports, he wouldn’t have initiated a literature course at all..."

"Surely Mr. Sui’s calligraphy has conquered these unruly characters."

Since it was a task given by the Ice Venerable, neither of them wanted errors, so they personally came to oversee it, and what they saw filled them with joy.

Seeing these youngsters so earnest, the nation’s blossoms are blooming tenderly!

The two gleefully landed on the corridor, looking merrily at the ink treasure of some teacher hung by the students below on the wall.

——In life and death, together with you I say, holding your hand, growing old with you. (Not skilled enough, quoting a peerless verse)

Their first reaction was—Damn, these words are written impeccably!

Their second reaction was—What does this mean?

Their third reaction was—Damn, is this a wedding proposal slogan?

Their fourth reaction was—I want to marry him!

"Teacher, teacher, I love this sentence... If a guy wrote me such a love poem, I’d definitely marry him."

"Many men say sweet words... But more are heartless. Teacher, I want to write one for my ex-boyfriend, can you suggest one?"

The teacher resting their chin upon one hand casually wrote down something.

"In a mere four years, the mulberry sea has changed thrice, beneath the pines are tender words, yet the cool wind blows them away unseen."

"What about expressing longing... My boyfriend goes to Starshine Academy... He often says I lack substance..."

This is the CP from Peking University and Tsinghua, the hardship of a long-distance relationship needs no explanation.

"Enter my longing gate, know my longing pain, long longing for long remembrance, short longing for endless extremes."

"I like a senior, she’s really pretty, how should I write a love letter?"

"There’s a beauty, whom upon seeing, is unforgettable, a day without seeing, my thoughts run wild."

"And, and... I hope she breaks up with her boyfriend soon, what kind of love poem should I write to send her?"

Uh...

This last student...

Writing to a girl to wish them a quick breakup?

How poor must their emotional intelligence be.

Sui Yi’s finger paused, looking at the slightly shy but rather delicate-looking young boy.

"Then I’ll need to write an elegy for your best friend to burn and send to you...."

Laughter erupted in the room.

The youth himself laughed too.

"Teacher, your literary proficiency is high. My family hired a teacher who’s like a wooden block. When I asked him to teach me some lovely and meaningful love poems, he said, your parents don’t allow it... Oh my!"

This statement caused the room to explode with laughter.

Someone else asked.

"Are these ancient poems all written by you? We’ve never heard of them... Okay, although we rarely read books anyway."

"They’re not composed by me... They are works from my hometown..."

Sui Yi couldn’t possibly write such love poems... Neither High Priest nor she herself.

If genuine emotions were all restrained, how could words be written for others to peek at.

Restraint, to the bone.

Love poems and such evidently don’t exist in their lives.

Despite this, these students couldn’t put down these poems, wanting to copy them and show them off, but when they wrote themselves...

Damn, unbearable to look at, a transformation from upscale truffles directly to clods by the latrine.

It instead marred the realm of these words.

So they could only write more earnestly, practice!

As there weren’t many people, Sui Yi could guide each one without tiring, plus Sui Yi didn’t appear as cold and formidable as the teachers at Ice Gleam Academy, being a "normal person," still a gentle and demure lady teacher. Many rid themselves of fear and learned with ease, occasionally glancing at neighboring writing, joking, teasing, surprisingly enjoying it, until the end of the class period, without even realizing...

Some people even complained that the class was too short... It was sure that there wouldn’t be another class until five days later, I felt bad at that moment...

The two "administrative directors" being criticized and cursed by the group silently huddled at The Gate...

Sigh, a faint sadness, silently rejoicing.

Sui Yi saw these two as soon as he stepped out the door.

The two Cloud Ascendants... leaning against the wall, what are they up to?

"Mr. Sui, thank you for your hard work..."

As high-ranking officials of Ice Gleam Academy, the two didn’t need to be so courteous to Sui Yi, a mediocre Teacher, but everyone appreciated people with real talent, so their tone was still friendly.

"It’s okay."

"Why doesn’t the Teacher let them go back to continue writing?... Practicing calligraphy isn’t effective if it isn’t done through hard repetition?"

"It’s not necessary."

Well, that’s quite cold.

Why so gentle with students but so cold and reticent with us?

After Sui Yi left, the two exchanged glances. Though things seemed to be going extremely well now, even unnaturally so, there was always a foreboding feeling.

However, soon, the two received a notification and immediately turned solemn, flying toward a building.

A moment later, a dozen senior administrators of Ice Gleam Academy gathered in an indoor room.

Chang Jun stood prominently at the forefront.

"We’ve detected that there are twenty personnel from Thousand Buddha active near Ice Gleam Academy, among them the strongest are Tu Su, Mischievous Child, and Sword Thief. The activities of Thousand Buddha never happen without purpose; since they’ve come, there must be a reason. It’s suspected that someone has already infiltrated Ice Gleam Academy."

Chang Jun’s indifferent words, especially the last sentence, made several people frown.

"Impossible, we’ve investigated every student admitted."

"Not necessarily, the data investigations are superficial. With the cunning of Thousand Buddha, they naturally have the means to create impeccable records. Given some talent and appropriate age, joining Ice Gleam wouldn’t be difficult... You’re familiar with Thousand Buddha’s discerning eye."

An elder spoke sentence by sentence, making everyone present nod involuntarily.

The fear of Thousand Buddha is well-known throughout Dragon Ape, yet why they’ve recently targeted Ice Gleam Academy is unclear.

Is it for people, or for things?

"If it’s for people, to move so aggressively, they wouldn’t just send some young members nearby... If their strength isn’t enough, naturally their weight isn’t enough, and neither would know what Thousand Buddha values in us."

"Then it must be for something."

This sentence, regardless of who said it, suddenly made Chang Jun frown.

Something?

Evidently, these bigwigs didn’t intend to delve deeper in his presence and were just about to dismiss him when suddenly the temperature dropped sharply.

Frankly, most of the bigwigs present are supreme Masters of the Ice Snow Series, Cloud Ascendants not to mention.

Yet, where they are, the temperature remains peaceful because they control the cold to perfection, without revealing a trace.

Only two people at Ice Gleam are so brazen to let the cold permeate, chilling the area effortlessly.

The Ice Master and the Ice Venerable.

The Ice Venerable never convenes with a group, having zero group meetings.

So...

All the assembled bigwigs stood up.

The Ice Master descended.

Appearing in the middle of the four-sided long table, legs floating, the flowing ice appeared like the most exquisite ribbons of water-silk, but unfortunately, he was too cold, cold like a non-living being.

He slightly waved his palm.

In the empty space ahead, the cold gathered, and a man in a similar white robe appeared.

If Sui Yi were here, he would surely recognize this person he had seen in the rainforest.

Chang Jun recognized this person as Seo Qingfeng, Commander of the Ice Spirit Guard, also known as the Frost King.

Directly under the jurisdiction of the Ice Master, no one else had authority over him, and the Ice Master, in turn, was directly under the Ice Venerable, making him the third-ranking figure under the Ice Venerable, causing the other bigwigs to be quite apprehensive.

And this person, with hands folded crossed at his abdomen, spoke methodically: "Previously, the Flame Eagle escaped from the White Tower above the Levitating Ice Palace, fled along the Ice Pure River near Ice Gleam Academy, and was intercepted by me and others in the Rainforest District, during which he attacked a segment of a train, seizing the opportunity to escape... I pursued him, yet lost his trail in the Northeast area of the Rainforest District."

He didn’t pause for other people to ask questions or voice opinions, only paused momentarily before continuing: "Before the pursuit, I had already ordered the governmental military of the Rainforest District to block every stronghold exit in the Rainforest District, to control the traffic, encircling him, who was already severely injured, within the Rainforest District. After searching until yesterday, confirmed he had completely left the Rainforest District."

So, what is the main point of these two paragraphs?

The main point is.

"The Flame Eagle has someone within the Rainforest District, allowing him to infiltrate the government military... later successfully evaded pursuit."

A stroke of brilliance.

Yet no one questioned why because since Seo Qingfeng dared to draw this conclusion in front of the Ice Master and them, he must have some evidence.

"The Flame Eagle is a key figure of Hawk. If he has connections within the Rainforest District’s government, it also implies that Hawk’s influence has already penetrated the government military, and even forces us to consider whether the government military above us also has their people, which is why the Flame Eagle was able to escape the White Tower."

"A Thousand Buddha would be one thing; being deeply-rooted, after all, it’s an open family-style organization, but this Hawk is different...."
