When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 151 I Heard You Have a White Feather Fan

On the same night, in the Guicang Building, which belonged to the Astronomical Society, Sima Ming stood on the rooftop balcony, his eyes slightly closed, sometimes frowning, sometimes deep in thought, his expression full of confusion.

Where did that gust of wind come from?

Sima Ming was completely baffled.

"Still thinking about that gust of wind from before?"

A handsome young man walked out of the room, looked at Sima Ming, and smiled, "You're not an omniscient god either. You just didn't notice the sudden wind. Did you really think of it now?"

"That's because you didn't know about the changes that followed," Sima Ming said, shaking his head.

He reached out and tapped the bracelet, bringing up a projection. Then, with a swipe of his hand, he moved the projection in front of the young man.

"Just got news from those paparazzi at the news agency: the Dan Dao Society's greenhouse caught fire, and a large amount of medicinal herbs were burned in a short period of time..."

“I know that. It’s all over the forums. They say that at the crucial moment, Bai Ze suddenly sensed something and killed Wei Changqing without warning.” The young man said, glancing at the projection.

Then, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise, "The fire is fueled by the wind?"

“Yes, if I’m not mistaken, it was that gust of wind from before,” Sima Ming said.

This fire must have been started by someone using unknown methods, otherwise it wouldn't have spread so rapidly.

But there was also a weather factor involved—the wind that blew in from the damaged part of the greenhouse…

"You sensed the wind in advance, but I was completely unaware, and in a short time, you used this strong wind to cut off Wei Changqing's backup plan. This method..." Sima Ming shook his head and sighed, "It's not simple."

The interconnected cause and effect sketched in Sima Ming's mind an image of someone who foresaw the winds and possessed hidden wisdom.

“No wonder Professor Ye invited him to join our Department of I Ching Studies,” the young man said with a sigh after clarifying the cause and effect. “Yun Shu has encountered a formidable enemy this time.”

Although Yun Shu's strength is now two realms higher than Bai Ze's, Bai Ze's talent and wisdom may still pose a threat to Yun Shu.

Just like this time, the Alchemy Society fell into Bai Ze's hands, severing Yun Shu's arm.

Moreover, Bai Ze is still a freshman, or even not a freshman, yet he is already a three-star martial artist.

It remains to be seen how strong Bai Ze will be next year and the year after.

Yun Shusheng's advantage lies in his strength, while Bai Ze's current advantage lies in his terrifying potential.

It's really hard to say who will win between these two sides in the future.

"Hehe, before Yun Shu, we'll probably have to compete with this super freshman first," Sima Ming said.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" the young man asked.

"Given the boldness he displayed today, I predict his next target will be either our Astronomy Club or the Literature Club, with our club being more likely."

Sima Ming gently waved his feather fan and said, "Those guys from the Wenhua Society are good at combining literature and martial arts. Facing them, you will inevitably have to use your literary skills and engage in direct combat. It will not be easy to win in their field."

On the other hand, the Astronomy Club's Bai Ze has demonstrated his ability to predict wind patterns today...
It could even be said that the phrase "the wind is rising" was a direct challenge to Sima Ming.

"That's interesting."

The young man laughed and looked at Sima Ming with a mocking tone, "No wonder you're so fixated on this. You're cramming for the last minute, studying your opponent. By the way, should we prepare some axemen in advance? When Bai Ze arrives, the club president can use the signal of smashing a cup, and then we can all rush in and beat Bai Ze out."

"No need. No matter how promising a super freshman's future may be, he still has to bow down to me now," Sima Ming said confidently, waving his fan.

By smashing the cup as a signal, you're basically assuming I'll lose, right?

Upon hearing this, the young man's smile deepened, but he did not object. In fact, he also believed that Sima Ming had a higher chance of winning.

It's not that we underestimated Bai Ze, but Bai Ze has already demonstrated a higher level of alchemy than Wei Changqing. He can't possibly surpass Sima Ming in the field of Yi Jing (Book of Changes), can he?
Thinking this, the young man shook his head and chuckled, thinking it was impossible. Then, looking down, he suddenly noticed the letter displayed on the projection.

"The super freshman sent you a private message through the forum," the young man said.

"Ok?"

Sima Ming pulled the projector back and clicked on it.

I've heard you possess a white swan feather fan, crafted from the feathers of a white phoenix, a masterpiece of craftsmanship. I'm filled with longing for it. Tomorrow night at midnight, I will come to retrieve it under the moonlight. You are known for your refined taste; surely you won't let my journey be in vain.

The two short sentences were impeccably polite, but the meaning behind them was quite interesting.

"Good heavens, trying to take my feather fan?" Sima Ming couldn't help but laugh. "This is clearly an attempt to take my position as president."

Is this a greeting during a visit?
This is clearly a declaration of war.

They gave Sima Ming advance notice of the impending retrieval of the feather fan, allowing him time to prepare. If he still manages to steal the fan after this, Sima Ming should resign from leading the Astronomy Society and step down.

The Astronomy Club was originally Mu Yaoguang's private domain. Although there were no veterans from Mu Yaoguang's era left, the club members still felt a sense of belonging to Mu Yaoguang.

There's nothing we can do; people are naturally drawn to those who are strong.

The thought that Dongxia's top genius was once the president of the Astronomy Club makes even a member who was just an assistant in the club stand up straight.

Once Bai Ze proves his ability in this area, coupled with Mu Yaoguang's endorsement, at least a third of the club members, if not all, will vote directly.

"So, what should we do?" the young man asked.

"What should we do? Do as you say. Arrange for five hundred axemen to surround all the entrances and exits of the academy tomorrow night. I want to make sure they can't even get close to the Guicang Tower."

Sima Ming waved his feather fan and snorted.

Normally, if Bai Ze had come to visit, Sima Ming would have greeted him politely. However, Bai Ze immediately turned hostile and tried to steal the feather fan.

If Bai Hong's feather fan is stolen, Sima Ming will become Bai Ze's stepping stone.

This is no ordinary hostile guest; we must strike hard.

"He wants to show off his abilities, right? I'll let him show off to his heart's content. If that's all it takes to stop him, then what right do I have to sit in this position?"

Sima Ming revealed his stern demeanor, "This position, if I do not grant it, he cannot take it."

"Although you speak in a very imposing manner, don't you think your style is like that of an extra in a TV series?" The young man couldn't help but complain as he watched Sima Ming suddenly become so dramatic.

"Heh, you don't understand." Sima Ming looked profound.

This is a duel. If Bai Ze can't get the feather fan, then he should just wait for Sima Ming to graduate before taking over the Astronomy Club.

If Bai Ze gets the feather fan and defeats Sima Ming, then Sima Ming will not hesitate to push Bai Ze even higher.

The more preparations Sima Ming makes, the greater his momentum will be when Bai Ze wins.

This is the reward for the winner.

As for the loser, he was utterly defeated.
