"It is my pleasure to be recognized by an expert like you, Daoist Friend." Teacher Song wasn't the usual grumpy old man right now. He appeared to be an amiable and gentle old man who was talking to his grandson, "I just want to say sorry on behalf of my student here who offended you. She is young, so she is quite a hot-blooded and arrogant individual. I just wish you forgive her this once."
So it turned out that Teacher Song wanted to bail out his student, which was normal. Since it was his student, it was the teacher's responsibility to take care of them and their messes.
"I don't want to be stingy, but your student here has aimed me with killing intent. I felt her full bloodlust when we're fighting and I know, she can't deny this, too." Jin Rou shook his head. Though he didn't outright deny the request, he was indicating something else.
"Why did you come here, old man? I told you that I'll never need your help!" Suddenly, the woman joined in and lashed out at Teacher Song.
"Shut up, you ingrate!" The teacher redeemed his old self and became grumpy.
But he returned to his amiable state when he looked at Jin Rou once again, "I see. So how about this, let me invite you to have a cup of tea in my office and we will talk about things on the table. What do you say?"
"Then, I won't excuse myself. Of course, that's a good idea." Jin Rou agreed with the suggestion.
"Perfect!" Then, the teacher created a portal and said, "Follow me, Daoist Friend."
Then, the teacher and Jin Rou, including the weakened woman entered the portal.
After a few minutes, the alarmed teachers reached the green garden, but there was nothing to be seen.

"Please taste this tea, Daoist Friend." Teacher Song put a teacup on Jin Rou's end of the table and pour a red-colored liquid in his cup. The movement was very exquisite and graceful, as if the tea dances with the kettle, "This is my most treasured tea of all time, the Soothing Extravagance. You can't just buy something like this in the market. After all, you need to take care of the leaves and preserve it for 100,000 years before being brewed."
Jin Rou held the teacup and took a sip of the said tea, he held his breath and exclaimed in amazement, "This is really a fine tea!"
This tea's flavor was almost the same as those that being served on their family. Just a tad sweeter.
"I told you." Teacher Song nodded in satisfaction after seeing the reaction of Jin Rou. This was his prided tea, that not even the headmaster of the academy could have the privilege to taste, "If you want more, I can still brew more for you Daoist Friend."
"No, there's no need for that." Jin Rou shook his head, "This is already enough. I don't want to trouble you more. But it seems that you thought highly of that student of yours for you to come out personally to bail her out."
"Well, that's true." Teacher Song wryly smiled, "Especially in our current situation, we need many talented seeds to nurture in the future even if we are already gone."
"Current situation? Is there some underlying current right now?" Jin Rou asked with curiosity.
"Oh? You haven't heard of it, Daoist Friend?" The teacher asked in surprise, "We will be facing a huge enemy this time."
"A huge enemy? You mean a powerhouse that stands on the peak of this world?" Jin Rou put another question.
"Yes. Many have coveted the big pie called Academy of Chaos for millions of years now. Many have tried also, but failed in the end." The teacher said.
"Then you will still pass through this another storm, for sure." Jin Rou tried to comfort the teacher.
"No, it's not easy as what you think it is, Daoist Friend." The teacher shook his head, "Although we have numerous alumni on the progenitorial level and true god level, the enemies we will be facing are much stronger than them."
"You mean immortal progenitors and thirteen-law true gods?" Jin Rou widened his eyes.
"Immortal progenitors, yes. But for thirteen-law true gods? I don't think there will be one. At most, we will be facing eleven-law true gods." The teacher gravely said.
"How about the overall power of the academy? Does it have beings on the same level as them?" Jin Rou asked filled with worry. If this was the case, he couldn't leave Xiu'er here.
"We have two or three, I guess. But we don't know if they will answer our call during the predicament." The teacher sighed in helplessness, "While one of them might be willing, the two might not be."
"Why is that?" Spoke Jin Rou.
"Because they already have no ties to the academy. The moment they graduate and step foot outside, the academy has no connections with them any longer. Not to mention that, the tribulation might be triggered if they come out. The risk is too high especially for them who reached the top of this world." Teacher Song said filled with heaviness.
Even if the almuni didn't return and help them, they couldn't blame them as the former had no ties with the academy anymore. It wasn't the alumni's responsibility to save the school during a predicament, or at least that's what the rules said.
All in all, it's up to the alumni if they would give assistance or not. Either way, they weren't forced to do so.
"So in case that the academy fall into despair, you'll plan to send the talented seeds away with enough resources?" Jin Rou asked. This type of method was common and the most plausible plan to think of during a despair-inducing situation. With this method, the academy could rise in years to come as long as there were seeds left for the academy.
The academy might be gone, but everything was like a tree. As long as there was a land, they could grow and prosper.
