Hearing this, Feng Silu was no longer anxious. She had successfully aroused Wan Lei's interest, and her smug look was like that of a child who had received a candy.

"Kid, the academy's waters are too deep, you're too young, you can't handle it."

Feng Silu continued to speak in a strange tone.

"If you don't want to talk, I can't ask other people?"

Wan Lei said with a contemptuous smile.

"Forget it, I'll tell you, after all, you haven't studied in the academy before, so it's normal if you don't know."

Feng Silu sat up straight and continued, "The academy holds a student competition every year. Most of the Foundation Establishment (Zhuji) students have gone outside, so the competition is mainly among the Initial Force Realm (Chu Li Jing) students. After all, they are the main body of the academy."

"And then?"

"And then... you know the current situation in Nanfu City, right? The City Lord, which is you, also has Wan Zhentian's lineage, which is relatively weak, with only your grandfather and your father as Golden Core (Jindan) cultivators.

Your Second Uncle, Wan Xiaotian's lineage is more powerful, with three Golden Core cultivators and two Golden Core retainers, making them very influential in Nanfu City."

Feng Silu paused dramatically.

"Wait a minute, what does this have to do with changing the Dean of the academy?"

Wan Lei asked in confusion.

"In this academy, there is a Dean and a Vice-Dean. The Dean, Zhao Dongxing, is a sworn brother of your father, so of course, he supports your family.

But the Vice-Dean, Liu Dehuai, is a retainer of your Second Uncle's family."

Feng Silu said with wide eyes.

Wan Lei pondered for a moment, then analyzed, "That is to say, if Liu Dehuai becomes the Dean, then he will control the Xinxing Academy.

Firstly, he can win over the outstanding disciples to my Second Uncle's side, and he can use resources to lure them. Secondly, he can directly give the best resources to the Second Uncle's family members and those students who support the Second Uncle."

"You're not too stupid, the most important thing is that Xinxing Academy is also a very powerful force. If this force leans towards the Second Uncle's family, think about how weak your lineage will be?"

Feng Silu said persuasively.

"Continue."

Wan Lei's face gradually darkened.

Although he didn't feel much belonging to this family, Wan Hongxin had treated him well. In recent days, he had been trying his best to find something to ward off lightning for him.

From this point alone, he didn't want to sit idly by and watch his lineage be wiped out by the Second Uncle's family.

After all, the Second Uncle, Wan Xiaotian, had always coveted the position of City Lord.

Feng Silu cleared her throat and continued, "In Nanfu City, there are several major forces, you should be very clear about that.

Moreover, in two months, it will be the Wan Clan's Nanfu successor competition, which is a competition between your generation.

Think about it, at this critical juncture, Xinxing Academy is about to start the disciple competition, and this time, the Second Uncle's lineage of mentors, under the leadership of the Vice-Dean, are putting pressure on Dean Zhao, forcing Dean Zhao to agree.

If more than half of the top ten disciples support the Vice-Dean this time, then the position of Dean will be handed over to the Vice-Dean."

Wan Lei fell silent upon hearing this.

He was very clear that all of this was a conspiracy by the Second Uncle's lineage to force Dean Zhao to step down, let Vice-Dean Liu Dehuai take over, and win the support of Xinxing Academy.

Moreover, in two months, it will be the successor competition. In his lineage, there is only himself, while in the Second Uncle's lineage, there are many talents, especially the most powerful Wan Liuchuan, who is a Foundation Establishment Peak expert.

No matter which aspect you look at it from, his lineage will undoubtedly lose. At that time, facing his family's lineage, which is extremely weak, the Second Uncle's family is afraid that they will show their fangs and start taking action.

"It seems that you all understand. If you want to protect the status of your lineage, you must protect Dean Zhao's position and strive for the support of Xinxing Academy."

Feng Silu said.

"Even if we have the support of Xinxing Academy, so what? The Second Uncle's lineage won't care too much if they want to take action. Even if I can defeat Wan Liuchuan and win the position of City Lord's successor.

At that time, their family is afraid that they will be at the end of their rope and directly start a war, right?"

Wan Lei said.

"That's right, assuming you really defeated Wan Liuchuan, of course, this possibility is almost equal to zero.

After all, you are just an Initial Force Realm Level Seven cultivator, while Wan Liuchuan is a Foundation Establishment Peak unparalleled genius. It is impossible for you to grow to the point where you can defeat Wan Liuchuan in just two months.

Even if you really defeat him, you will only get the support of the Wan Clan's main residence. If a war really breaks out, it is not certain whether they will help you."

Feng Silu said in a logical manner.

"Then what can I do? Do you expect me to be able to defeat five Golden Core experts?"

Wan Lei chuckled and said.

"No, you should have miscalculated a force. If you can win their support, it should be able to make the Second Uncle's family wary of taking action."

Feng Silu said.

"Oh? Which force?"

Wan Lei asked quickly.

"Look, it's far away, yet right in front of you."

A playful smile hung on the corner of Feng Silu's mouth.

"You mean you? Isn't your family just a family in a town? The strongest is only a Foundation Establishment, right?"

Wan Lei shook his head and said.

Feng Silu almost choked on her own saliva, and said with a wry smile, "I'm not talking about myself, what am I? How can I compare with Sui Xiaohang, the son of General Sui Potian?"

"Sui Xiaohang?"

Wan Lei turned his head in surprise, and looked at Sui Xiaohang, while the information about Sui Potian appeared in his mind.

Sui Potian, a general sent by the Wan Clan's main residence to Nanfu City, a Golden Core Late Stage expert, holding heavy troops, not under the jurisdiction of Nanfu, and possessing a high degree of freedom in the use of troops.

If he could win the support of Sui Potian, then it would definitely be foolproof. The 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands alone would be enough for the Second Uncle's family to suffer.

"Don't look at me, just because we're good brothers doesn't mean my dad will support your dad. On the contrary, my dad has always maintained a non-participation stance in the factional struggles of Nanfu City.

If you two factions fight, he will definitely not participate, because he still has to protect the safety of Nanfu City."

Sui Xiaohang waved his hands repeatedly.

"Is that so? It's useless even if you, his only son, try to persuade him?"

Wan Lei asked.

"It's definitely useless, my dad can't wait to break my legs when he sees me. I always hide from him at home."

Sui Xiaohang shook his head like a rattle drum, and then added:

"He's been a little nicer to me in the past two days, it's because I was struck by the Heavenly Punishment (Tianfa), otherwise, with my纨绔 (wan ku, playboy) appearance of not being motivated and only knowing how to do evil, he would listen to me."

These words made Wan Lei's heart move.

Heavenly Punishment?

Sui Xiaohang summoned Heavenly Punishment, he is bound to die, and his situation and details are the same, his mother died early, his father neglected to discipline him, but he is the only son.

Therefore, Sui Potian will definitely not let this only son die.
