Chapter 343: Instructor Identity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yin Qingleng knew very well that his proposal would buy him a lot of time in preparation for what was to come.
Although Lu Wang’s aptitude was not bad, it would take at least three to five years for him to advance from his current rank.
With such a long period of time available to him, Yin Qingleng could make more preparations.
Yin Qingleng was confident that at that time, the Ice Feather Institute would be completely under his control.
“That is too long.”
Jiang Xu responded.
However, his objection was not that strong this time.
Hearing this, Yin Qingleng’s heart stirred. He knew that Jiang Xu had already agreed with his idea, but he had to make more compromises with Jiang Xu’s side.
“Don’t worry, this process won’t take long. I will also help Lu Wang’s growth.”
Yin Qingleng said meaningless words.
Everyone knew that Yin Qingleng’s words were definitely not true.
“Mmm…”
Jiang Xu pondered for a moment and slowly said, “Acting Institute Head Yin, your proposal is not too outlandish, but since Young Master Lu Wang is the successor to the position of institute head, even if he has not officially inherited the position of institute head, he has to take on some responsibilities for the Ice Feather Institute, right?”
“So, I hope that Lu Wang can obtain all of the duties of an instructor, and his status must be ranked above all the instructors. In addition to that, he will not be under your orders, but he can give orders to other instructors.”
Jiang Xu’s tone was firm.
“Huh?”
Gu Chixing and the other instructors on Yin Qingleng’s side frowned when they heard this.
If Yin Qingleng agreed to this proposal, it meant that they would be under Lu Wang, a rank three arcanist.
At that time, even if they were only compliant in appearance but disobedient in heart, they still had to bow down to Lu Wang.
“Sure.”
While Gu Chixing and the others were still whining in their hearts, Yin Qingleng answered readily.
“In the future, Lu Wang will be the young institute head of the Ice Feather Institute. He will have all the power of an instructor, and all the instructors will listen to his orders. In addition, he can also ignore my orders.”
Yin Qingleng knew very well that apart from Lu Wang being an instructor, the other conditions were nothing to him.
It was meaningless for Lu Wang to be able to order around the instructors and refuse to listen to his orders.
The factions on both sides had been divided. The instructors in his faction might seem to be on his side, but at the critical moment, they still had to stand on his side.
Moreover, with Jiang Xu, Xu Siqi and the others around, he couldn’t order Lu Wang to do anything to begin with.
“Okay.”
Jiang Xu said, “In addition, I have another request.”
“More?”
Yin Qing raised his eyebrows. “Go ahead.”
“I hope that the Ice Feather Institute will have another instructor.”
Jiang Xu said.
“Who is it?”
Yin Qingleng asked.
“Xu Ning.”
Jiang Xu looked at Xu Ning.
“Jiang Xu, aren’t you pushing your luck?”
It was Gu Chixing who spoke this time. “He is an outsider. Moreover, joining the Ice Feather Institute is already an exception. However, you still want to make him an instructor? You are too much!”
Jiang Xu’s expression remained unchanged. “I will guarantee with my reputation that after Xu Ning joins the Ice Feather Institute, he will contribute to the Ice Feather Institute. Once he does something unfavorable to the Ice Feather Institute, I am willing to pay with my life!”
Jiang Xu spoke seriously.
“You…”
Gu Chixing was speechless again, so he could only look at Yin Qingleng and wait for Yin Qingleng’s answer.
Yin Qingleng looked at Xu Ning.
He knew that Xu Ning was a helper invited by Jiang Xu.
“Xu Ning…”
Yin Qingleng was actually a little afraid of Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was already a rank four arcanist at such a young age.
Although there was no direct evidence, he suspected that the pursuers he had sent out and not yet returned might have died in Xu Ning’s hands.
“Okay, I agree.”
Yin Qing thought for a while before finally deciding to compromise.
Although he was a little afraid, Yin Qingleng knew that Jiang Xu would only give in if he agreed to this request.
Moreover, as long as Xu Ning was in the Ice Feather Institute, he had plenty of opportunities to deal with him.
“Alright, Xu Ning is now a new instructor of the Ice Feather Institute!”
Jiang Xu raised his voice.
After the two sides reached an agreement, there was no point in continuing the meeting, so both sides left.
“Institute Head, this gives Lu Wang’s faction two more instructors on their side. Their power has also increased a lot…”
Gu Chixing and Yin Qingleng were alone together, so he quickly voiced his concerns.
“There are twelve instructors in the Ice Feather Institute. There are only five people on our side, but there are seven people on their side…”
“It’s fine…”
Yin Qingleng waved his hand. “As long as I can occupy the position of institute head, the advantage lies with us. That kid Lu Wang won’t be able to advance to rank four within three years. Over the next three years, I have many ways to suppress him and completely control the Ice Feather Institute.”
Seeing Yin Qingleng so confident, Gu Chixing was relieved.
“But that outsider Xu Ning doesn’t seem to be a simple character.”
Gu Chixing said.
“He really is not a simple character…”
Yin Qingleng and Gu Chixing had the same opinion. “So, we have to find a chance to get rid of him.”
“It shouldn’t be easy to get rid of him.”
Gu Chixing gave a worried look.
When Yin Qingleng heard this, he smiled sinisterly.
“It is indeed inconvenient for us to attack him, but if we use someone else…”
Yin Qingleng seemed to have a plan.
“You mean…”
Gu Chixing also realized what was going on in Yin Qingleng’s mind and his expression became serious.
“That’s right.”
Yin Qingleng nodded. “I will contact them later and ask them to assassinate Xu Ning.”
“But if this matter is exposed, we will lose everyone’s support, even the people on our side…”
Gu Chixing was worried.
“What are you afraid of?”
Yin Qingleng sneered. “We can even scheme against the Old Institute Head, so there is no need to mention Xu Ning.”
“Hsss…”
Gu Chixing looked panicked when he heard that.
He quickly looked around, his heart beating fast.
If news of them plotting against the Old Institute Head spread, it would be troublesome.
Once that happened, the entire Ice Feather Institute would see them as eyesores, and there would be countless troubles in the future.
“Calm down.”
Yin Qingleng patted Gu Chixing’s shoulder. “Send some people to keep an eye on Xu Ning.”
After saying that, Yin Qingleng left.
Gu Chixing’s forehead was full of sweat. He still felt afraid and had some lingering fear when he thought about the assassination of the Old Institute Head.
But now that he was in cahoots with Yin Qingleng, he had no choice.
After standing still and calming himself for a long time, Gu Chixing left.
