"Can't participate?" Feng Jiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does this mean I can't participate in the college competition?"
“Yes, the Jindan level of cultivation is already at the level of a mentor. Naturally, you cannot compete with students at the foundation building and great spiritual master levels, because there is no comparison at all.” The dean in the main seat said, narrowing his eyes and staring at Fengjiu.
"And, therefore, after discussing with the two of you, we have come to a decision, that is, you have to stay in our Two Star Academy as a mentor for a year and teach our Two Star Academy students how to practice, in order to compensate for your mistake of overdrawing your spiritual energy."
"W-what?" She was dumbfounded. "Let me be a mentor? And I have to stay here for three years?"
"Why? You still don't want to?"
The two elders frowned and said, "You have absorbed so much spiritual energy. It is the most generous decision to let you be a mentor for three years as compensation."
When Master Guan heard the dean say that Feng Jiu's strength was already that of a tutor, he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, as soon as he had this thought, he spoke out. So, he smiled and said, "Dean, isn't this decision too hasty? The tutors of the two-star academy have to be carefully selected. How can a little kid like her be a tutor?"
"If we say he can do it, then he can do it. There are hardly any Jindan cultivators of seventeen or eighteen years old even in a one-star academy. We did not make the decision hastily to let him be the instructor. Moreover, does Vice Dean Guan think that he can just walk away after turning our academy's holy land into what it is?" An elder snorted, obviously displeased.
"But this..."
"It's decided. Let's just solve this matter this way. I will personally send a letter to your dean and explain to him that Fengjiu must stay with us for three years no matter what." The dean said, making it clear that he wanted to keep the person.
Feng Jiu, who was standing by, saw them discussing it and making the decision without even asking her. She couldn't help but twitch her lips: "I haven't agreed yet! What's the good of it?"
"What do you disagree with?"
Three voices asked at the same time, and the dean and the two elders all looked at her.
Fengjiu gave them a strange look and said, "It's my business to say this, why can't I disagree?"
When the three heard this, they were speechless. Yes! He, the person involved, must agree anyway! Otherwise, how can we keep him? So, the three of them stared at him with their eyes wide open.
Seeing this, Fengjiu also realized that they didn't want to punish her at all, but wanted to keep her.
To her, there was no difference between the six-star academy and the two-star academy. The only difference was the mentorship they were talking about. She had become the mentor of those two-star students. Well! It was exciting to think about it.
"cough!"
She cleared her throat and said, "You can ask me to stay and be your tutor, but three years is too long. One year, I only agree to stay for one year." She stretched out a finger and shook it, speaking with a smile in her eyes.
"One year? One year is too short. It should be at least two years." said the two elders.
"No, one year. I only agree to one year."
She shook her head and said, "One year is already my limit. You should know that I have only been in Six Star Academy for about a year. If you don't agree, then forget it. I will go back with the deputy dean."
