Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1896: Chapter 1498 Jing Dajiang: Taking You to Meet the Lady_2 Chapter 1896: Chapter 1498 Jing Dajiang: Taking You to Meet the Lady_2 Jiang Hao did not think too much about it.

Occasionally, some disciples from the academy would come to seek his guidance.

Those with dilemmas also came to him for help.

Jiang Hao treated everyone equally, diligently fulfilling the role of a senior.

Yet, more often, he was drinking tea with the Dean.

The Dean was filled with emotion, feeling that ever since Gu Jin joined, the academy had begun its rise.

Gu Jin brought back many things after his outings.

These helped the academy to grow.

Of course, the Dean was also grateful to Jiang Hao.

Though he had never taken action in all his years at the academy,

his presence alone made the academy feel profound.

Jiang Hao felt somewhat awkward; indeed, he had done nothing, and sometimes he could have intervened.

But he never did.

Because it could easily attract Karma.

The academy's development was not as smooth as it appeared on the surface.

Many battles were fought in secret.

Years passed by, one after another.

Baiye City also began to expand.

Some powerful figures settled in Baiye City, hoping for the academy's protection.

And in turn, they would become part of the academy's combat force.

It was a win-win arrangement that the academy usually agreed to.

So there Jiang Hao sat in the attic, watching time flow rapidly like a river in his eyes.

He saw Jing Dajiang studying hard, cultivating, and occasionally going out.

Along with his two close brothers.

But every time they returned, they would be silent for a long time.

Then they would continue to diligently study and cultivate.

They were truly talented.

Their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

Of course, compared to the brilliance of Gu Jin, they seemed ordinary.

Two hundred and fifty years later at the academy, Gu Jin stepped onto the Vast Heaven Platform.

When he came back, he told Jiang Hao that he had met a strong warrior of the dragon race outside.

They hit it off and became sworn brothers.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao did not say much.

Red Dragon had already become sworn brothers with Gu Jin.

Two hundred and fifty years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Jin's cultivation speed was not shockingly astounding.

But it still attracted countless jealousies.

Some people believed that Gu Jin certainly practiced forbidden arts.

Even some claimed they saw with their own eyes Gu Jin refining a whole city of people.

How else could his cultivation progress so fast?

They have so many resources, why can't the disciples with once-in-millennium talents ascend to the Immortal Platform in just over two hundred years?

They demanded an explanation from the Western Astronomical Academy.

The Dean, with Jiang Hao in tow and in front of Gu Jin's face, angrily said, “What level are they to compare with you?

“Don't worry, my disciple.

“If they really destroy the academy, you can run away by yourself.

“They won't be able to catch you then.

“It would be too troublesome to rebuild the academy, so it's fine if we don't.”

Over these two hundred years, Jiang Hao felt time had passed quickly, yet he had experienced almost everything.

Like listening to the Dean insulting other sects.

How worthless, what caliber, what roles, what trash – extremely vulgar.

Not at all like someone who studies.

Gu Jin did not learn anything from his master, only these phrases.

If someone came to ask the Dean a question, he would say something outlandish.

Yet it would make people ponder.

And then someone truly gained an insight.

Their cultivation soared.

Thus, everyone pondered the Dean's words carefully.

Jiang Hao watched, finding it unbelievable.

Suddenly, he recalled what Gu Jin had told him, that anything said by someone from the academy seemed logical.

After all, their cultivation spoke for itself.

He, the Great Elder, diligently dedicated, was not as effective as the Dean's random ramblings.

Everyone said the Dean's words were profound and worth contemplating.

A wise man should be like this.

His own words, plain and simple, yet nobody felt he was remarkable.

But it didn't bother him; he was indifferent to fame and wealth.

Another fifty years passed.

By now, Baiye City had developed the embryo of an Ancient City, but it was still very small compared to the rest.

The Western Astronomical Academy had been refurbished several times, becoming ever larger.

His own residence also expanded and rose.

He never refused the treatment given to the Great Elder.

This year, Jiang Hao heard some news.

Someone had ascended to immortality deep within the Mountain Village, inducing the path of immortality, with a True Dragon manifesting.

Countless celestial phenomena occurred, and great luck from the West descended.

So far, three special channels of great luck had fallen.

And the Immortal who caused the phenomena was being hunted.

Reportedly, True Immortals took action.

At the Western Astronomical Academy, the Dean was the strongest face-forward, with a middle-stage Human Emperor cultivation.

But he still personally led a team out of the academy.

The entire academy was now in the hands of Jiang Hao.

And Jiang Hao entrusted the academy to Jing Dajiang to manage well.

Three months later, Jing Dajiang had managed everything in an orderly fashion, even starting to recruit disciples.

According to Jing Dajiang, some very promising talents had arrived.

Indeed, three months later,

Jing Dajiang mentioned an exceptionally perceptive disciple with profound knowledge.

Later, Jiang Hao learned that this person's name was Shan Qinghe.

Jiang Hao did not go to meet him; after all, he was just a common disciple, not yet worth a visit from the Great Elder.

However, Shan Qinghe was the future Mr. Tao of Heavenly Tower.

He became a traitor, and the apparent reason for his betrayal was the pages of an ancient book.

Of course, that was only the overt reason.

Currently, it was suspected that it had something to do with the Child.

Looking back now, his defection might have been related to this.

If Jiang Hao had left behind something, to win him over, he wondered if it would have worked.

Of course, that was too risky, and there was no need to do it.

His task was to see what Gu Jin would eventually discover and why he entered the sea of blood.

Three years later, the Dean and his team returned.

Without any success.

They didn't find the target.

Why?

Because no matter how fast they rushed, they could only follow behind and were utterly unable to get close.
