Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112

In the Imperial Palace of New Qin City, the Wei family and others finally met Lin Qian once more.

Unlike the last time they met Lin Qian, the situation was completely different; in a certain sense, the counterpart was akin to their master.

"Salutations to Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the members of the Wei family all honestly and respectfully saluted Lin Qian, even his mentor Wei Wushuang did the same.

A circle cannot be formed without rules; after all, this time it wasn't a private meeting, this was within the Huaxia Empire and rules must be adhered to.

Lin Qian is the Emperor, and they are now the subjects, thus they should salute and pay respects.

"Rise, and sit down." Lin Qian, seated high upon the dragon throne, waved his hand as a gesture to invite the members of the Wei family to sit at their designated places.

Besides the Wei family and others, the leaders of the affiliated forces of the Wei Domain also appeared here to pay respects to Lin Qian.

Seeing the Wei family and others before him, Lin Qian also felt slightly emotional; matters had indeed reached this point.

"Serve!" Following this, Lin Qian suddenly said loudly, and the palace maids flocked out, coming in teams to present various gourmet dishes and beverages to everyone present.

These were all specialties of the Huaxia Empire, with a wide variety.

The number of people in the hall was not small, and plenty of dishes had been prepared, taking considerable time to serve.

After all, four generations of the direct line of the Wei family attended, along with many key members of the Wei family's collateral line.

Additionally, the leaders of the affiliated forces and their close relatives, disciples, and others had arrived.

The former high-ranking personnel managing the vast Wei family were all present, appearing before Lin Qian.

This kind of meeting was necessary; afterward, there were many matters Lin Qian needed to convey to them personally.

"First, enjoy the imperial flavors; consider it a welcome from the Emperor. After the banquet, we'll discuss official business in detail."

Lin Qian's words instantly eased the atmosphere.

"Mentor, let me first offer you a toast." At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly rose and offered a toast to Wei Wushuang.

Wei Wushuang was slightly stunned and equally rose, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, I understand."

Indeed, no matter how Lin Qian's status changed, he was ultimately his disciple.

This fact had not changed, nor had the bond between them.

"Wei Changming, you guys seem to have been slacking in your cultivation recently, enjoying those entertainment segments?" At this time, Lin Qian's gaze shifted to Wei Changming and the others.

Wei Changming and others from the Heroes Gathering, the fourth generation of disciples, each showed embarrassed expressions and hurriedly rose: "Your Majesty, well..."

"Your Majesty, it was all Wei Xiaogang's idea; he said Your Majesty mentioned balancing work and rest, so he took us around to play." At this moment, Wei Xinyu suddenly spoke up.

Wei Xiaogang jumped with surprise and looked over: "Xinyu, you were clearly enjoying yourself too..."

Lin Qian looked at this group with a faint smile and couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I'm just saying, but do strive to be more diligent amidst relaxation."

"When you come inside the empire for postgraduate studies at the university, aim to compete for the title of one of the top ten students. I don't wish to say that the group personally mentored by me can't even earn this title."

Lin Qian's words stirred their fighting spirit.

Especially Wei Xiaogang, with the most explosive temper, earnestly promised Lin Qian: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely earn the title of Academic Leader!"

"Academic Leader? That's a title earned only if one ranks within the top hundred of the association of the university on Soul Martial Star, which is very challenging." Lin Qian clicked his tongue, looking at Wei Xiaogang.

On Soul Martial Star, the alarming development speed breeds countless fierce and unmatched prodigies.

The entire Sea Spiral Star Domain, where all races' new generations prosper under favorable conditions with widespread evolutionary policies, has birthed countless miracle-like talents like mushrooms after rain.

Though the Wei family disciples surpass academy students in cultivation levels.

Yet during their postgraduate studies, their cultivation levels would be thoroughly suppressed.

In the Huaxia Empire, the strength of an academy is measured through alternative fairness criteria, not merely power realm.

For example, two students specializing in alchemy and artifact refining respectively would compete by focusing on their specialties supplemented by auxiliary skills.

Every Wei family disciple almost seeks postgraduate studies in an academy; they, in comparison to Huaxia Empire's students, have lesser comprehensive qualities.

Because unlike the new generation of Huaxia Empire, they don't have abundant time during growth periods to learn and enrich themselves.

Transformations for them start now.

The minor episode among Wei Changming's group also enlivened the hall's atmosphere.

Many present from the Wei family and affiliated forces started to inquire Lin Qian about their confusions.

At these moments, Lin Qian patiently explained, not showing an exclusive or pretentious attitude.

Up to the banquet's end, Lin Qian's demeanor turned solemn, very serious.

At this time, others too sat upright with serious expressions, knowing that it was time to discuss official matters.

Firstly, Lin Qian spoke about issues related to academics; the accompanying younger generation would initially undergo assessments and enter the academy.

They possessed excellent aptitudes allowing them to swiftly integrate into academy life, becoming role models for other young members of the Wei Domain.

Wei Domain's primary construction tasks were the Transportation Department and supporting facilities, as well as the Education Department and various academies.

Transportation and education must both be prioritized.

After addressing these issues, Lin Qian allowed the younger generation to leave the hall.

The more significant part was about to begin.

"While the Netherworld Clan won't launch major invasions, probing attacks might occur soon, similar to casting a stone to ask the way." Lin Qian's words suddenly made the hall's atmosphere heavier.

"Your Majesty, are these words credible!" Wei Ziliang took a deep breath; if this were true, it'd be severe. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel{f}ire.net

Lin Qian nodded, surveying everyone: "I have convened in the empire, holding court meetings, discussing a series of plans. You also ought to know, and thus I reiterate."

"The focus is simple: consolidate existing forces to break the scattered state, then unify resources for rapid development, to confront the Netherworld Clan." Lin Qian's look glinted with determination, "Time is scarce not only for all realms but also for me, so actions must be decisive."

"I decide to attack the remaining thirty-five realms of South Dipper and occupy them, incorporating them as imperial territory."

"This is also the beginning of everything!"
