Emperor’s Domination

or a dean to personally recruit a student.” Li Qiye smiled.

Du Wenrui coughed before arching his chest to speak with sincerity: “The truth is that our institution loves talents on top of treating everyone equally…”

“Dean, youre a good liar, spewing bullshit so naturally. Maintaining this facade is probably your best ability.” Li Qiye leisurely said.

“Hahaha, of course not, youre quite funny.” Wenrui smiled wryly.

Li Qiye accepted the scroll and added his fingerprint without checking the content.

“You dont want to read it over?” The dean was a little nervous.

“As if you can do anything if I were to change my mind. Not even you suddenly become a hundred times more courageous. Am I right?”

“Of course.” Wenrui rubbed his palms together in an excited manner. He then carefully put the document away and said: “From now on, you are a student of Repentance.”

“You said that your institution loves talents, how come I havent seen you recruiting anyone capable yet?” Li Qiye asked.

“I got one now, right?” Wenrui was quite pleased with himself: “Its one thing if I dont roar, but when I do, it will echo across the world. Ive just recruited the most peerless student in history, even more incredible than the progenitors.”

“Well, I do enjoy this flattery.” Li Qiye nodded: “People say that those with a high forehead, thick brows, and big eyes are all good men. Unfortunately, youre more of a sly fox.”

“Thank you for your praise.” Wenrui smiled back.

“When did you realize it?” Li Qiye sat there casually.

However, Wenrui didnt dare to act in the same manner. He solemnly said: “I found it strange right when Holyfrost True Emperor took action. Her light isnt the strongest in our system but it is still among the top three, maybe top two. However, that power of hers got crushed right away. This required a monstrous level of darkness.”

He then stared at the mark on Li Qiyes forehead with apprehension.

“Who do you say is the number one then?” Li Qiye asked.

“Well… I dont know…” Wenrui shook his head in response.

Li Qiye stopped prying and gazed towards the horizon: “Youre the dean of Repentance Institution. What is your view of this city?”

“How can regular people like me understand the intent of the progenitor?” Wenrui replied: “I only know that the world is wrong about Repentance. It is not a prison. The omission of light is on purpose.”

“Thats why you ignore it too.” Li Qiye said.

“All things exist for a reason.” Wenrui said seriously: “So many living beings struggle to survive. The light, darkness, various heavenly laws, chaos… They have their own orders. Living beings also have the right to pick whether they want to be with the darkness or worship the light.”

“Thus, peace will be around as long as powerful beings refrained from evil deeds. The world exists for living beings to try and survive in an ephemeral yet beautiful manner. The root of evil is cultivation and searching for immortality.” “Li Qiye added.”

“My dao is inadequate so I do not dare to comment.” Wenrui pondered before answering.

“What is your opinion on your progenitor, Desolate Saint?” Li Qiye chuckled and asked another question.

“Its fine that the world remembers the light of the progenitor, thats enough. No one is perfect, so how many can actually become a saint?” The answer came after a brief moment of hesitation.

“There are saints, albeit not that many in the long course of history. Unfortunately, this dao dooms one to solitude.”

“His light still illuminates everything.” Wenrui ended with this.

“Clever, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. No wonder why you are staying in a place like this.” Li Qiye praised.

Wenrui chuckled without responding.
