You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 77

Chapter 77: The Four Great Sects

Having listened to Su Qin’an’s profound insights, the Minister of Education momentarily felt his intelligence was insufficient.

This… an orphanage?

Although, on second thought, it seems quite reasonable?

No, this is too much like ancient methods of assassin training.

From a young age, they begin selecting candidates, then after some time eliminating a batch, then after more time eliminating another batch…

Bah, what assassin training, this is a Rule of Law Society! We are cultivating Socialist Successors!

“Okay, an orphanage… then what? ”

The Minister of Education nodded: “There are too many orphans, we can’t possibly take them all in, can we? ”

“Of course not. ”

Su Qin’an said, handing the Minister of Education a piece of paper: “These are all the requirements I’ve written, you can choose from them. Remember, absolutely do not let anyone outside the Ministry of Education know, and even more importantly, don’t let them know that we are selecting from the orphanage. ”

This is like scholarships; some people, for the sake of a small scholarship, pretend to be poor students, competing with truly poor students for resources.

If some people find out that cultivation spots are being selected from orphanages, it’s hard to guarantee that every orphanage won’t suddenly have dozens of extra people overnight.

The Minister of Education nodded, and as he looked up at Su Qin’an, he saw a threat hidden beneath Su Qin’an’s faint smile, immediately startling him.

He understood Su Qin’an’s meaning: If you dare to act based on relationships, just wait!

“Please rest assured, we will act impartially and absolutely prevent any mistakes. ”

The Minister of Education said earnestly: “I guarantee it in the name of the Ministry of Education. ”

“I have great confidence in my abilities, what do you think, Minister? ”

Su Qin’an smiled with narrowed eyes, saying to the Minister of Education: “Alright, I believe that you, Minister, can lead the Ministry of Education and accomplish this. ”

Next, he went to the Ministry of Construction, mainly to find people to build the school when the time comes.

The Ministry of Construction naturally readily agreed, stating they would definitely send their best construction team and absolutely avoid any problems.

Finally, Su Qin’an scrolled to the very bottom of his friend list, found Yin Wanshan’s contact, and began composing a message.

Qin Shiqing’an: Master, I need to discuss something.

Jingsxue: Drop it.

Qin Shiqing’an: …Why are you so angry?

Jingsxue: What good thing could you possibly have when you contact me? Replying to your message is me giving you face!

Qin Shiqing’an: …Master, don’t learn bad habits online!

Jingsxue: Mind your own business? Arrogant man, so annoying! State your business, or leave!

Qin Shiqing’an: …Do you remember what I said about opening a school before?

Jingsxue: Remember, get to the point.

Qin Shiqing’an: I’ve figured out where to get teachers, but…would it be possible to have the Four Great Sects lend their name?

Jingsxue:?? What Four Great Sects? Who appointed them? Why haven’t I heard of them?

Qin Shiqing’an: I did…

Well, Yin Wanshan guessed it would be like this. Without a doubt, the Four Great Sects should be his own Daojian Sect, Master Lingxuan’s Ci’en Temple, Qi Yun’s Ru Men, and He Yuntian’s He Family.

Jingsxue: I have no problem, but those other three… if the reason isn’t sufficient, they probably won’t agree.

Qin Shiqing’an: Master, my idea is to put the Four Great Sects’ names on the school, and the teachers’ compensation will be a certain amount of Spirit Stones or protection.

Jingsxue: I understand that, but how do you plan to convince the other three?

Lingxuan might be easier to convince, but Qi Yun and He Yuntian, those two old foxes, unless it brings significant benefits to their Sects, they probably won’t easily agree.

But just having the Ci’en Temple and Daojian Sect’s names isn’t enough. What if the teachers clash with someone from the He Family or Ru Men? Would the Daojian Sect and Ci’en Temple choose a side?

The Four Great Sects are closely related. A real conflict wouldn’t look good.

Qin Shiqing’an: Look, I plan to limit the teachers to Independent Cultivators. If they join the school, they will receive benefits from the Four Great Sects, which means all the teachers are essentially people of the Four Great Sects!

Qin Shiqing’an: And if the Four Great Sects think a teacher is talented, they can invite them to join and further their cultivation!

Jingsxue: Hmm… Makes sense!

Qin Shiqing’an: I told you so!

Jingsxue: What if they use our names to do evil? Will your school still be able to operate?

Qin Shiqing’an: Rest assured, Master, I guarantee they won’t!

Yin Wanshan originally wanted to say “What if they betray you? “, but on second thought, he realized that schools and Sects are different, and his experience might not apply to running a school, so he deleted what he had typed and replaced it with another line of text.

Jingsxue: Alright, if you’re confident, that’s fine.

Jingsxue: I’ll talk to them, you just focus on doing it, don’t let us down!

Qin Shiqing’an: Yes, Master!

Jingsxue: By the way, how are things going with you and Yingqing lately?

Qin Shiqing’an: How’s what going?

Jingsxue: Your relationship.

Qin Shiqing’an: Sweet and blissful, what about it?

Qin Shiqing’an: I know you’ve never been in love, never suffered the pain of love.

Qin Shiqing’an: Don’t worry, I’ll take that burden!

Jingsxue: I think you need a beating.

Jingsxue: It’s fine as long as your relationship is good. If you dare to bully little Yingqing, just see if I can kill you.

Qin Shiqing’an: Ah, no, Master…

Jingsxue: Stand down, I’m tired.

Su Qin’an felt that in Yin Wanshan’s eyes, compared to Xie Yingqing, his own existence was practically nonexistent.

Also, who taught Yin Wanshan to use his cell phone to watch videos?!

He’s corrupted such a good old man!

“What are you laughing at? ”

Xie Yingqing’s voice sounded from the side: “Chatting with your Master made you laugh like that? ”

“Here, take a look. ”

Su Qin’an handed Xie Yingqing his cell phone as he laughed: “I really don’t know where Master learned these things! ”

Xie Yingqing looked carefully, then handed the phone back to Su Qin’an: “Mm, I understand. Stand down. ”

Su Qin’an: …

“No, why did you learn bad habits from Master too! ”

Su Qin’an had an urge to scratch his head: “Don’t learn from Master, that’s a feudal remnant! ”

“Hey, don’t bully me! ”

Xie Yingqing’s tender fingers gently tapped Su Qin’an’s chest: “If you bully me, I’ll tell Master, and have Master give you a good beating! ”

“Where did I bully you!?”

Su Qin’an looked innocent: “I didn’t do anything! ”

“Confusing right and wrong, you bullied me! ”

“I…”

“Hesitant, not saying nice things, bullying! ”

“I…”

“Mumbling, um…”

Xie Yingqing was about to say something else, when she felt something blocking her mouth, and her line of sight darkened.

Cultivators have much stronger lung capacity than ordinary people, but Su Qin’an didn’t deliberately prolong it, only kissing lightly for ten minutes before releasing Xie Yingqing: “How about it? Still mumbling? ”

“Hey, you ambushed me! ”

“Mmm…”

Looking at the girl’s flushed expression, Su Qin’an couldn’t help himself and kissed her again.

But this time it was short, and fearing the girl’s shyness, he lightly touched her lips and stopped.

“How about it, do you like it? ”

Xie Yingqing ignored him, quickly using Sword Flight to fly ten meters away from him.

She could tell that Su Qin’an was trying to take advantage of her, and that he knew she wouldn’t do anything to him!
