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

Chapter 84 Fengyun Academy Ranking
They even began to deduce the experiences of these people, intending to find out the identity of the Celestial Card Maker from these subtle clues.

When these surviving students entered the city, they were summoned by the prefect, who wanted to investigate the information about those mysterious people. The first-hand information that these students possessed was exactly what the prefect wanted.

Qi Bo was always with them in the group. When they were summoned to the prefect's residence, Qi Bo went in with them.

The Prefectural Government Office of Tiansheng City is the most authoritative place in the entire Southern Wilderness, and all the power in the Southern Wilderness is controlled by the Prefectural Government Office.

In the Southern Wilderness today, apart from the Marquis of Weiyuan and Ming Zihui, who are hiding their identities, the Prefect holds the most power.

When the group of students entered the prefect's residence, Yu Lin and Li Xuanze had already reported the whole story to the prefect.

The prefect of Tiansheng City is named Wen Boquan. He is thirty-five years old. He is neither a martial artist nor a card spirit master, but he has a knack for governing Tiansheng City.

The fact that Manager Huang was willing to let him use the newly released weapon cards already proves that he is fair and impartial.

After listening to Yu Lin and Li Xuanze's accounts, he planned to hear what the surviving students had to say.

The group of young men and women escaped death, and the prefect held a banquet for them.

Originally, it was just a banquet hosted by Wen Boquan to entertain these students. However, upon hearing that the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker had also participated, all the major families in the city sent representatives to the prefect's mansion to attend the banquet.

A welcoming banquet turned into a grand reception.

Those from various powerful families attending the meeting were all trying to find out information about the Celestial Card Maker from these young men and women.

These students were unaware of the undercurrents within the family, and they answered every question posed by the members of these aristocratic families.

Almost everyone had the same information, and no one was sure that the person who saved them was the Celestial Card Maker.

The only clue pointing to the Celestial Maiden Card Maker is the cards used by that mysterious boy.

This information was provided by Yu Lin.

After Yu Lin expressed his views publicly at the banquet, everyone felt that he made a good point.

That mysterious young man might be the Celestial Card Maker.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his statement, Yu Lin began to speculate on another matter.

At the banquet, he suggested that those mysterious card makers were Ming Zihui, one of General Ming's men.

He put forward his conjecture and opinion, and everyone in the entire Ling Kingdom knew that Ming Zihui's Qi Sea was severely damaged.

As a former prodigy, how could he be willing to become a useless person?
If he wants to repair his Qi Sea, he can only draw it from someone else.

Yu Lin spoke eloquently at the banquet, and seeing that everyone was beginning to agree with his guess, Qi Bo could no longer sit still.

He couldn't bear these people's speculations about Ming Zihui. He was clearly a hero who fought for the human race, but now they had misunderstood him so much.

"This is utterly absurd!" Qi Bo sat down and slammed his hand on the table.

Everyone who attended the banquet knew that Qi Bo was a card, and they all tried to get information about the Celestial Card Maker from him, but he was very tight-lipped and would not reveal any information about the Celestial Card Maker.

Although people couldn't get any information from him, they always kept track of his activities.

Seeing him angrily slam his hand on the table, Wen Boquan asked on behalf of everyone, "Why is Mr. Qi angry?"

Xie Yuwei's Qibo card wasn't written in classical Chinese, and he angrily told everyone:
"General Ming is a hero of your human race, he is your war god. He gave everything for the human race, but in return, his Qi Sea collapsed."

"And not only are you ungrateful, you're here slandering him!"

"I'm just a card, and I can trust General Ming's character, but you...?"

Qi Bo sneered.

Hearing his tone, Wen Boquan asked curiously, "From what you're saying, sir, you know General Ming?"

Qi Bo remained silent for a while, weighing the consequences of revealing the news of Ming Zihui's recovery.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't stand these people's slander against Ming Zihui.

"Of course I know him! I have already healed his Qi Sea. There is no way he would have extracted someone else's Qi Sea to repair his own."

Qi Bo's words shocked everyone!

Li Xuanze was the most excited. He asked Qi Bo with surprise, "General Ming's Qi Sea has truly been healed?"

Qi Bo looked at them angrily and said, "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

Everyone at the banquet heard this, and no one expected that General Ming had already recovered.

They wanted to question Qi Bo's medical skills, but considering the way he treated these students, they felt that it was no problem for him to cure General Ming.

Li Xuanze came to Tiansheng City for Ming Zihui. Now that he knows Ming Zihui's Qi Sea has been repaired, he happily asked Qi Bo:

"Where did you see General Ming? Where is he now? I'll go and bring him back right away."

Of course, Qi Bo wouldn't tell them where Ming Zihui lived. He said to everyone, "I'm just a card. How would I know where he went after I healed him?"

He genuinely doesn't know whether Ming Zihui is still in Nanwen Village.

Everything he said was true.

Everyone realized that asking Qi Bo about this matter was indeed putting him in a difficult position.

A card cannot reveal information that its owner wants to hide without the owner's permission.

"Mr. Qi, can't you really reveal any information about your master?" one of the students asked, genuinely curious.

They truly admired the card maker who could create cards like Mr. Qi.

Qi Bo looked helpless.

Everyone watching felt a pang of regret.

They didn't find any information about the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker at the banquet, but they did know that General Ming's Qi Sea had been healed.

This was astonishing news for the major powers in Tiansheng City.

They didn't come to the banquet in vain.

After the banquet ended, the news of Ming Zihui's recovery spread throughout the city.

From then on, everyone in Tiansheng City knew that a card called Qibo had appeared in the world of card games.

In this world, no one but the Celestial Card Maker can create humanoid cards.

At this moment, everyone in Tiansheng City thought of Lu Banka from the Karing Hall.

These cards represent different characters, each with unique traits and skills.

Luban can build houses and courtyards, and Qibo is a highly skilled physician.

The appearance of these two cards made people realize whether the Celestial Card Maker could create other character cards.

When the story of the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker was spreading like wildfire, Qi Bo became a card the day after he arrived at the prefecture.

His transformation into a card surprised both Wen Boquan and Li Xuanze.

If a card falls to the ground, doesn't it become ownerless?

How magnanimous must that legendary celestial card maker be to be so indifferent to a humanoid card?
Wen Boquan is an ordinary person, and Li Xuanze is only a beginner to mid-level Card Spirit Master. Qibo Card is a high-level card, and neither of them can activate Qibo Card.

In order to investigate the Qiboka, they had no choice but to seek out Yu Lin and have him reactivate the Qiboka.

They had assumed that since Yu Lin had activated the Qibo Card, he would become its new master. However, they were surprised to find that when Qibo stood before them again, he hadn't changed at all; he was still the same Qibo.

He remained silent about the news of the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker and General Ming, and Yu Lin did not become his new master.

Seeing their disappointed expressions, Qi Bo said, "I will not acknowledge anyone as my master."

Jie Yuwei created him and treated him with great courtesy. These people activated him because they wanted him to recognize her as their master.

Simply wishful thinking.

His integrity would prevent him from becoming anyone's subordinate.

Seeing Qi Bo's proud and unyielding demeanor, Li Xuanze, Wen Boquan, and Yu Lin knew that it was impossible to get Qi Bo to acknowledge him as their master.

All three of them felt it was a pity.

Unbeknownst to the three, after Qi Bo reverted to his card form, his consciousness returned to his original body.

His main body received the memories of this consciousness and thus learned about the events in Yulin Valley and Tiansheng City.

Qi Bo's true consciousness resides within the first card Xie Yuwei created.

In other words, the Qi Bo beside Ming Zihui is the one with complete consciousness.

After Qi Bo, the Prefectural Governor, returned to his original form, Qi Bo, who was by Ming Zihui's side, learned about the news from Tiansheng City. He told Ming Zihui about this news, and Ming Zihui also learned about the existence of those mysterious Card Spirit Masters.

Yu Lin reactivated the Qibo Card at the prefectural government office. The consciousness on the Qibo Card is now a fragment of Qibo's original consciousness.

At this moment, he had merged with the main consciousness and then separated.

He not only knew the news in Tiansheng City, but also the latest news about Ming Zihui.

The character cards created by Jie Yuwei have such a wonderful use, and no one else knows about this except for Jie Yuwei herself.

In the prefect's residence:

Yu Lin took back the Qibo Card, and Li Xuanze took it in his hand. He said to Wen Boquan and Yu Lin, "Qibo's medical skills are superb. He also cured General Ming's injury."

"The imperial court needs such cards; I want to bring the Qibo Card back to Lingdu."

Although Wen Boquan and Yu Lin were disappointed, they could only accept the fate of the card.

Before Li Xuanze treasured Qi Bo, he had Yu Lin activate the Qi Bo card so that Qi Bo could wholeheartedly heal the students whose Qi Seas were damaged.

As the students' injuries healed, the major families of Tiansheng City finally believed that Ming Zihui, who had been hiding, had indeed recovered his Qi Sea.

After this incident, the major clans became even more wary of the Celestial Maiden Card Maker's abilities.

Such card makers would rather destroy something than obtain it.

A storm is brewing in Tiansheng City, unknown to Xie Yuwei and her two siblings.

They checked into the courtyard arranged for them by Manager Huang, and Li Qiyu introduced the courtyard to them:
"Before you even arrived in Tiansheng City, your Uncle Huang asked me to come and take care of things here."

"Knowing that you came here to study at the academy, I put in some effort and found this courtyard."

"Although this courtyard looks dilapidated from the outside, the layout inside is quite nice. I had someone renovate it. What do you think?"

From the layout of the courtyard, Xie Yuwei could sense the care she had put into it.

The furniture, walls, beams, doors, and windows in the yard have all been renovated using the best materials.

Even the pavilions, gardens, and rockeries were meticulously designed, creating a very luxurious overall layout that left Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei in awe.

“This courtyard is very luxurious, we like it very much,” Xie Yuwei said.

With a house like this, what else could they possibly complain about?
Most importantly, this was something my aunt specially arranged for them to return to Tiansheng City early to renovate.

Li Qiyu could feel their affection, which made all the effort she had put in worthwhile.

She said to Xie Yuwei, "I chose this courtyard because it is very close to Fengyun Academy."

She led Xie Yuwei and her two siblings into the living room and took out a map of Tiansheng City from her Hundred Cards.

"This is a map of Tiansheng City, it's prepared for you."

She pointed to a location on the map and said, "This is the city center."

Pointing to another location, he said, "This is Fengyun Academy."

"The city center is some distance from Fengyun Academy. Our courtyard is located here, right on a straight line between the city center and Fengyun Academy."

“If you walk through this alley, you can reach the city center in less than the time it takes to burn two incense sticks in a carriage.”

“If you walk along this alley, it will take you 15 minutes to reach the side courtyard of Fengyun Academy.”

Xie Yuwei looked at the spot she was pointing to, and it really was there.

In this way, the residence is truly ingenious.

"Auntie, you're so kind. Wei'er really likes it," Xie Yuwei said gratefully.

Li Qiyu looked at them with a smile.

Next, she pointed out some important locations on the map to them.

"This is the prefect's residence, this is your Uncle Huang's memorial hall, this is the auction house, this is the Treasure Pavilion, this is the Tang family, the Li family..."

Xie Yuwei, Xie Yuchen, and Xie Yufei were all leaning on the table, intently watching Li Qiyu's explanation.

After explaining the map of Tiansheng City, Li Qiyu solemnly introduced Fengyun Academy to them.

Although Xie Yuwei and her two siblings had learned some basic information from Sun Shize, they were still listening attentively to Li Qiyu's explanation.

Besides the information they already knew, Fengyun Academy was also divided into factions.

Fengyun Academy is full of card makers and card spirit masters.

The card-making section consists of card making, paper making, pen making, and ink making departments.

Card Spirit Masters are divided into combat, support, and defense factions.

Before Xie Yuwei's cards were released, all their cards were beast-shaped, and their skills were very limited.

Therefore, the academies across the continent divide Card Masters into these three major factions.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Card Spirit Masters are only divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and saintly levels. Each of these levels is further divided into four stages: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and peak.

The academy divided the students into classes according to these levels, thus creating the distinction between outer and inner disciples.

The outer sect new students class, apart from age restrictions, have strengths between the beginner and intermediate levels.

The outer sect senior students' strength is between the beginner-advanced level and the peak level.

To enter the inner gate of the academy, one's strength must reach the intermediate level.

The inner sect ordinary class, their strength is between the intermediate beginner level and the intermediate level.

The inner elite class consists of individuals whose strength falls between the intermediate/advanced and peak levels.
