Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 224 Gathering of Elders

As the Fifth Elder led Feng Qing and Xie Yuwei through the gates of the department, he introduced the department's situation to Xie Yuwei.

"The Academy brings together students from all over the world. The Academy is divided into five regions: East, West, South, North, and Central. During each ranking competition, the Academy will govern the Central region, while the other four regions will accommodate students from the four countries respectively."

"The Faculty has arranged for Ling Kingdom to be located in the East District. I will now take you there to settle in."

While the Fifth Elder was saying these words, he couldn't help but observe Xie Yuwei discreetly.

The entire Imperial Preceptor's Mansion originally thought that Xie Yuwei was a talented card maker, but they never expected that she also possessed the aura of the wood element.

He was so close to Xie Yuwei that he could clearly sense the aura of the wood element.

Xie Yuwei's identity as a card maker had already received high attention from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, but he never expected that Xie Yuwei had another identity.

This identity is more important than her status as a Saint-level Card Maker.

Looking at Xie Yuwei's calm expression, the Fifth Elder was certain that Xie Yuwei did not know what it meant to possess the aura of the wood element.

He was going to report this matter to the council of elders.

Upon sensing the presence of the wood element, the Fifth Elder's attitude towards Xie Yuwei changed from amiable to respectful: "Please follow me!"

Feng Qing noticed the change in the Fifth Elder and glanced at Xie Yuwei without making a sound.

Xie Yuchen couldn't sense these subtle auras. After listening to the Fifth Elder's introduction, he asked curiously, "Our Ling Kingdom's students are settled in the East District. What countries' students live in the South, North, and West Districts?"

The Fifth Elder knew Xie Yuchen's identity, and because of Xie Yuwei, he was more patient with Xie Yuchen.

He said to Xie Yuchen and all the students of Fengyun Academy: "Yunfeng Kingdom lives in the South District, Hailan Kingdom lives in the North District, and Dayan Kingdom lives in the West District. The customs and traditions of each country are different. Living separately can avoid a lot of trouble."

The students of Fengyun Academy had never met anyone from other countries, and they were very much looking forward to moving into the department.

As the group entered the East District, the Fifth Elder continued to explain to them: "Normally, the East District of the entire department belongs to the Combat Department, the West District to the Defense Department, the South District to the Support Department, and the North District to the Surveillance Department."

"So, the school district here is more combat-oriented. The outer area is the accommodation, and the inner area is the school district. I'll take you to settle in now."

“Our Ling Kingdom has 50,000 academies across the country, but only 20,000 academies are participating in the ranking competition this year. This accommodation in the East District is just right to settle everyone.”

As the Fifth Elder spoke, he led them to an exquisite courtyard, which was large enough to accommodate all the participating students from Fengyun Academy.

Looking at the place arranged by the Fifth Elder, Feng Qing asked in confusion, "Fifth Elder, with the qualifications of Fengyun Academy, we can't afford to stay in such a nice courtyard, can we?"

The Fifth Elder glanced at Xie Yuwei and said to Feng Qing, "Only by moving into this courtyard can you ensure that you will not be disturbed by outsiders."

This courtyard is protected by the Ministry of Education, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the Imperial Preceptor's Office.

Only by staying here can Xie Yuwei avoid interference from the various forces in Lingdu.

After being reminded by the Fifth Elder, Feng Qing thought about how to understand Yuwei's situation and thus acquiesced to living in this courtyard.

The Fifth Elder led them to the courtyard, explained the ranking competition to Dean Feng Qing, and then left.

After the Fifth Elder left, the students of Fengyun Academy relaxed and marveled at the sheer size of the department.

"The academic district is huge! Just one of the academic districts is probably bigger than our Tiansheng City University!"

“This courtyard is also large. There are more than forty of us, and each person can have a room without any problem.” “The Fifth Elder is very easy-going.”

“Lingdu is huge; it took us two days to walk from the city gate to here.”

Looking at the excited crowd, Feng Qing said to the team captains, "Take them down to their rooms to rest. Before the ranking competition starts, everyone should stay put. If you need to leave the department, you must inform me."

"Yes!" The team leaders led everyone down to rest.

Feng Qing walked up to Xie Yuwei and asked her with a puzzled look, "Do you have any connection with the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion?"

Xie Yuwei also sensed the Fifth Elder's goodwill. She wasn't sure if the Fifth Elder's goodwill towards her was because of her mother. She said to Feng Qing, "My mother works in the defense department of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion."

Feng Qing looked at Xie Yuwei and her two siblings with surprise.

He had previously thought they were orphans, but he never expected that their mother actually worked in the Imperial Preceptor's office.

Those who can hold a position in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion are no ordinary people, let alone receive such courtesy from the Fifth Elder. Their mother must hold a high position in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

Feng Qing imagined some things and then put the matter out of his mind, starting to busy himself with the ranking competition.

Xie Yuwei and her two siblings also obeyed the arrangements made by the senior students of Fengyun Academy and moved into the courtyard.

-

After making arrangements for the people from Fengyun Academy, the Fifth Elder did not linger in the academic department; he hurriedly headed towards the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

He rode in the Imperial Preceptor's carriage and returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence without any problems.

During the journey, he used a communication card to notify the other elders, making sure they returned to the Grand Preceptor's residence for a meeting.

When he returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, he happened to see the Third Elder of the Defense Department and the Seventh Elder of the Treasure Spirit Hall.

Seeing the Fifth Elder's hurried appearance, the Seventh Elder couldn't help but say, "He's such a grown man, yet he still acts so loudly and boisterously. What kind of behavior is this?"

The Third Elder also asked, "Fifth Brother, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to summon everyone?"

As the Fifth Elder walked toward the secret meeting room, he said to the Third Elder, "Jie Yuwei, you know that Heavenly Maiden Card Maker, right? Her mother works for you?"

The Third Elder understood immediately: "Yes, what's wrong? You summoned everyone in such a hurry just because of her?"

Jie Yuwei's abilities are extraordinary. The Southern Wilderness has also tested and found that her barrier is usable. She has also brought countless new types of cards to this world. She is of great importance to the human race. The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion also intends to protect her. The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is already aware of her situation. Why is the Fifth Prince still in such a hurry?
Everyone knows she will represent Fengyun Academy in this ranking competition. Is Lao Wu so excited just because he met her in person?

However, it is only right that the Imperial Preceptor's Office convenes a special meeting for her sake.

With these thoughts in mind, the Third Elder followed the Fifth Elder into the secret meeting room.

This secret chamber is where the nine elders of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion hold meetings. It is surrounded by a powerful defensive barrier, and no one can discover anything inside the chamber without permission.

When the Fifth Elder, the Third Elder, and the Seventh Elder entered the secret room together, several elders were already sitting inside.

Apart from the mysterious Ninth Elder, all the other elders have arrived.

After all the elders of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion except for the Ninth Elder had arrived, the First Elder looked at the Fifth Elder with an air of authority and said, "Fifth Elder, what is it that you have summoned us here to discuss?"
