Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259

Three pillars of light, one of which was very distant, were seen by many people. Especially after Du You appeared, many people speculated that it might be a new territory established by Du You.

After all, Du You already publicly owned three territories, and two were in cooperation with the academy.

The new northern mountains, as well as the previous Central City, were both cases in point. Especially the northern mountains, which is the only territory in the Ice Crystal Plains area. If the academy were willing, they could even help to control the entire Ice Crystal Plains.

So, there’s nothing surprising about adding another one now, given how quickly Du You had been establishing territories.

That day, academy liaisons quickly sought out Du You, wanting to cooperate in this world.

"For cooperation in this world, you shouldn’t come to me. Go find Xi Qianxue instead. That territory was established by Xi Qianxue. I was just over here to help out," Du You said directly in front of others.

The exposure of the territory was inevitable; there’s no hiding it. Besides, there are benefits to being exposed; it all depends on how you handle it. Revealing Xi Qianxue’s name was also done with her consent.

"So it’s Vice President Xi Qianxue’s territory."

Du You was somewhat surprised and only realized after understanding the situation that Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao had become vice presidents of the collegiate student council without his knowledge. However, now there were not two but four vice presidents, with the two women being recent additions. With more council members, the organization was considerably larger than before.

With Du You’s guidance, the academy’s people soon found the territory of the northern Elves.

At the same time, as expected, the news could not be contained and quickly spread so everyone knew. Before long, all over the academy, people were discussing it.

"What? Our Snow Lotus beauty has become a lord as well? The distance between us is getting farther and farther."

"Wake up, brother. Even if she weren’t a lord, you’d have no chance. Haven’t you seen how close she is with Du You?"

"The people in this year’s cohort are really incredible. Now we have two lords. These two are the only lords among the current students in our academy. Compared to them, I feel like I’ve been living the life of a dog."

"Yeah, Xi Qianxue is understandable since she at least has the support of a powerful family behind her. But Du You didn’t have any support and reached this stage solely on his own. Who knows how high his future achievements might be."

"How high doesn’t matter; he’s already beyond my reach with his current achievements."

"You guys are lucky. I spent such a high price, repeated two years here, and I’m still just an ordinary fourth tier."

Inside the academy, right at the start of the school year, things were already very lively. Xi Qianxue’s reputation was already high, but now it was even more exaggerated. If previously Xi Qianxue was known for her beauty and talent, as a beautiful and gifted individual,

Now she’s a bona fide lord. A lord is completely different from the common professional genius. Or rather, it’s only possible to grow to such a high level if one has a territory or the support of a territory behind them.

"Come check it out, the student council is recruiting. Yes, our vice president is a beautiful lord! Joining the student council gives you the chance to have close contact with the beautiful lord." Indeed, the student council started using Xi Qianxue in their promotions.

But it can’t be denied, as clichéd as the method was, the effect was really good. With Xi Qianxue as their promotion, the number of people joining the student council kept rising, eventually showing signs of an explosion. The expansion of the student council began once more. You have to know that even within the school, not that many people were genuinely keen on joining the student council.

Plus, the student council is all about elite requirements, so a smaller number was understandable.

Lately, the tendrils of the Capital University student council were reaching further and further, gradually starting to influence other academies as well.

Between academy and academy, between student council and student council, there is also a hierarchy. Now, the Capital University student council seems to be becoming the leader among all student councils in the Capital.

Xi Qianxue and Du You are different. Du You is always aloof and it’s rare for anyone to see him in person. His looks are just above average, although he thinks he’s quite handsome, he lacks a notable background.

Moreover, he himself isn’t keen on self-promotion, so despite his great reputation, not many people know him.

Outside the school gates, very few could actually recognize Du You. Xi Qianxue, on the other hand, was completely different.

A woman with extremely high recognizability, coupled with her noble family background. Thus, both the academy and Xi Qianxue’s own family began to promote her aggressively. Around the academy, posters of Xi Qianxue could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

People unaware of the situation might think she is a celebrity about to hold a concert, considering the intensity of the promotions.

Some TV stations and media continuously promoted her as well, some controlled by the academy, some by the Xi Family, and some were grassroots efforts. Without Xi Qianxue and her colleagues being aware, her reputation grew day by day.

Lately, Xi Qianxue has been assessed by many as the number one beauty of the Capital. Even Li Mengyao is slightly overshadowed by Xi Qianxue in terms of reputation. It couldn’t be helped, since Li Mengyao doesn’t have her own territory.

Everyone deliberately ignored the fact that Xi Qianxue’s scroll was acquired together with Li Mengyao and also overlooked that Du You had helped without them, it would have been impossible to build a territory to fifth tier so quickly, reaching the world’s limit.

In short, whatever the outside world promoted, that’s what people believed.

Now, Xi Qianxue still doesn’t know that she and Li Mengyao are traveling northwards. They need to get through a Secret Realm first and then decide how to cooperate with the academy in the future. In this world, there’s much to cooperate on.

Besides ordinary herbs and foodstuffs, there are three items of great value. One is Unicorns, another is elf slaves, and the last one is the northern Secret Realm. Originally, the academy wouldn’t share the northern Secret Realm with anyone else. But Xi Qianxue’s territory is in the north, too close to the northern Secret Realm.

The easiest way to reach the northern Secret Realm would be through Xi Qianxue’s territory. Content orıginally comes from 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Besides, even if a few slots were yielded, the academy still mainly controls it. The academy wants this sort of reputation to help with recruitment. Offering Xi Qianxue some benefits can also draw in Du You, the star of the future, which is a win-win situation.

The potential Du You has for development is seen as immense by them. The academy might even take pride in the future for having nurtured a student like Du You. Just think, a person who could reach the sixth tier while still at the academy—that would be such a sensational achievement. The benefits it would bring to the academy are, needless to say, considerable.
