Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 260 - 149: Holy Hall Saint Heir, See Me as a Mountain
Ruan Qingshan was stunned.
President Yue...
That exceptional young woman from Han Sea Academy, Yue Yourong?!
Ruan Qingshan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was screaming in admiration for Lord Blade! This was a moment he could brag about for a lifetime!
He composed himself and said, "Of course, it's possible!"
Before leaving, he turned around, glided his gaze swiftly over Gulei's face, and then rested it on Li Yan.
Looking at the smiling Li Yan, Ruan Qingshan said in a low voice, "Old Li, I will look for you later, I need to step out for a bit."
Li Yan was about to respond when his gaze suddenly fell on the entrance, as if he saw someone familiar, and a distinct look of regret flashed across his face.
He patted Ruan Qingshan's shoulder and said, "I might need to leave for a while, let's catch up another time."
"Leave for a while?" Ruan Qingshan was puzzled.
Li Yan didn't elaborate much, but suddenly asked, "Qingshan, do you know what I like the most about you?"
Ruan Qingshan's eyes widened in shock, and he instinctively stepped back and covered his behind.
Li Yan's eyes twitched slightly, his transcendent demeanor breaking for the first time.
He said helplessly, "It's your internet name, I really like your internet name."
Ruan Qingshan clicked his tongue and replied, "Not bad kid, you have good taste."
His internet name was [See Me as You See a Mountain], both poetic and profound!
In this regard, only Chan's simplistic and profound internet name [Chan] could compare with his.
Director Li, who was nearby, looked at Li Yan with some surprise.
Is this also a Newborn? He seems quite extraordinary?
Some people simply stand out with their presence and manners, distinctly different from the majority of ordinary people.
This person was one of them.
He silently noted down this person's name and appearance, planning to investigate further when he got back. If this person was exceptional, Director Li would consider adding him to the Academy's candidate list.
Moments later, Ruan Qingshan left the training room accompanied by Director Li, walking light as a feather amidst envious gazes, wishing he could message his older sister and father right now.
On the way, Director Li briefed him on some matters.
Then, unable to suppress his curiosity, he lowered his voice and asked, "Student Qingshan, may I ask how you got to know Ji Jingqiu?"
Ruan Qingshan looked at Director Li with a distant gaze.
How did he get to know Ji Jingqiu?
Did he even know her?
Oh, indeed he knew her. It was the kind of 'knowing' where Ji Jingqiu didn't know him.
Among the young Martial Artists of this generation, who didn't know Ji Jingqiu?
Seeing Ruan Qingshan's peculiar expression, Director Li felt a jolt in his heart.
Could it be the wrong person?
He hastily whispered, "You don't know the Ji Jingqiu from the Four Guardian Stars? It was he who recommended you to President Yue."
Ruan Qingshan fell silent.
He suddenly realized something.
This is not good.
Probably Chan really is Ji Jingqiu.
But he certainly isn't Zhang Sandao...
...
...
"Holy Son, your journey should come to an end now. The envoy is about to meet with the Federation President, and we need your presence to lead."
The middle-aged man bowed and said.
"Li Yan", or rather, one of the twelve Saint Heirs of Holy Hall Civilization, had a very long name infused with glory bestowed by the Holy Master. Translated into Federation language, it could be condensed into two characters, Twilight.
Twilight didn't respond, only turned his head back regretfully towards the campus stretching to the horizon and said softly:
"The school is the cornerstone of civilization. You can tell whether a civilization is prospering and where it might go in the future by looking at their schools. And in this regard..."
"Yanhuang Federation has done a great job, definitely better than ours. The strongest feeling in this campus is the spirit of freedom."

"I really like the atmosphere here, it's so different from the lifelessness of the Holy Hall."
The middle-aged man's face turned ashen as he said urgently in a low voice, "Holy Son, please be discreet with your words!"
Twilight shrugged, "If you don't like hearing it, I won't say it."
The middle-aged man gave a wry smile. It wasn't a matter of liking or not. If other Holy Temples heard this, they would take the matter to the Holy Affairs Hall.
The Saint Heir might not suffer, but they would inevitably be tagged as "incapable of guidance."
He redirected the topic and said, "The current Yanhuang Federation is already a force that we all must treat seriously. Besides clarifying their involvement in Nine States, the higher-ups want us to probe how strong the Federation actually is."
"How strong are they indeed?" murmured Twilight, "Who knows? But for sure, they are not as strong as they were ten thousand years ago."
More than ten thousand years ago, the Yanhuang Federation was just a nascent cosmic civilization that had just stepped out of its planet, beginning interstellar migration, and they hadn't even birthed their path to life ascension.
According to the Cosmic Convention, such newborn cosmic civilizations enjoy a "protectorate period" of five hundred years.
Five hundred years isn't short, but for a civilization, this seems too fleeting.
At that time, the surrounding civilizations were already discussing how to divide this newborn civilization.
It was foreseeable that the best fate for them was to become a subsidiary, also known as becoming slaves, born with specific collars or implanted chips, not in control of their own life or death, and thereafter serving their lord's nation.
But unexpectedly, an anomaly occurred...
[Nether Sea], just happened to begin its return in that era!
While various civilizations were distressed over the return of [Nether Sea], this fragmented and ununified newborn civilization quietly and swiftly underwent a complete transformation!
The history of Holy Hall Civilization clearly records--
The ancestors at the time merely investigated [Nether Sea] for several decades. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief and were considering the distraught civilization that encountered the End of Tribulation signs as they first ventured onto the cosmic seas, to relieve their own tension...
