149: The principal's eloquence
Late that night, Yu Xiu and the others finally returned to Huaxia University. As it was late, they didn't go to see the President but instead went their separate ways.
It wasn't until the next morning that the President arrived at Yu Xiu's villa bright and early, accompanied by the patriarch of the Kyoto Wu Family.
"President, and this is?"
Yu Xiu looked at Mr. Wu, a puzzled expression on his face.
"This old fellow is the current patriarch of the Kyoto Wu Family."
The President of Huaxia University chuckled lightly and then explained, "But Mr. Wu is one of us; you can consider him an undercover agent."
"The reason he was able to become the patriarch of the Wu Family was also with the help of the higher-ups."
"For so many years, Mr. Wu has been working for the higher-ups."
"Remember when the various Kyoto Families proposed changing the rules of the Training Camp? That was Mr. Wu pushing it from behind."
Yu Xiu nodded, his face still expressionless. It was clear he had no good feelings for Mr. Wu or the higher-ups.
Regardless of whether their actions were for the greater good, Yu Xiu simply disliked them.
"President, just get to the point!"
Yu Xiu glanced indifferently at Mr. Wu, then looked at the President of Huaxia University.
He knew the President bringing this person over so early in the morning definitely meant something important.
"Then I'll get straight to the point."
The President of Huaxia University chuckled, "Mr. Wu, and most of the other Kyoto Families, are willing to offer all their Family assets, only asking that you allow their Family descendants to join the Qilin Battle Team."
Yu Xiu frowned, then asked, "All of their Family descendants?"
The President of Huaxia University smiled and shook his head, "Of course not, five people from each Family."
As he spoke, the President of Huaxia University subtly winked at Yu Xiu.
Seeing this, Yu Xiu secretly chuckled to himself.
It seemed the President wanted to trick someone again.
"Five people is impossible!"
Yu Xiu shook his head and added, "I'll give each of your Families ten spots."
At these words, not only was Mr. Wu stunned, but even the President of Huaxia University looked bewildered.
"Is Mr. Yu serious?"
Mr. Wu looked agitated.
"Serious!"
Yu Xiu said, "You can send anyone you want for these ten spots, but I cannot guarantee that every single one of them can join the Qilin Battle Team."
"I assume you've all heard about the deeds of my Battle Team members recently."
"I won't hide it from you, the reason they can fight above their level is because I've taught them the mysterious Martial Skill obtained from the Qiusuo Realm."
"My actions, I believe, should make you understand what they signify?"
"Anyone who joins the Qilin Battle Team is my sworn brother, Yu Xiu's, and I will absolutely not hold back anything from them."
"Of course, to join the Qilin Battle Team, they must also pass my assessment."
"If your Family descendants can pass the assessment and successfully join the Qilin Battle Team, I will naturally and unhesitatingly impart to them what I gained from the Qiusuo Realm."
"Not only that, but even more precious things will be taught to them."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu's expression was already filled with excitement.
They had suspected as much before.
Now, hearing Yu Xiu admit it personally, Mr. Wu could no longer imagine it.
A person was actually willing to unconditionally impart the treasures he obtained in the Qiusuo Realm to people with no blood relation.
Even if these people were his subordinates.
Mr. Wu admitted he couldn't do it.
In this world, perhaps only Yu Xiu could do it.
Such breadth of vision and magnanimity.
Mr. Wu believed his decision was correct.
When the President of Huaxia University first mentioned this matter to him, Mr. Wu was still very hesitant. Although he had to complete the task from the higher-ups, the task didn't say he had to give up all his Family assets.
So this decision was ultimately made by him, steeling his heart.
"Mr. Yu, what if none of the ten candidates pass?"
"Then I can't help you," Yu Xiu shook his head. "My Qilin Battle Team doesn't need trash, nor does it need people with ulterior motives."
"As for whether you want to continue with the transaction, that's entirely up to you."
The President of Huaxia University interjected at this point, "Mr. Wu, you've seen everything Yu Xiu has done for the Qilin Battle Team."
"Of course, you don't have to worry about Yu Xiu deliberately making it difficult for your Family's descendants."
"As long as they genuinely want to join the Qilin Battle Team and work hard enough, I believe Yu Xiu will absolutely not deliberately reject them."
"I have great faith in Yu Xiu's character. If you miss this opportunity, it won't come again."
"Think of it this way: even if Yu Xiu agreed to take five of your Family's descendants, and then marginalized them, or demoted them to logistics, didn't give them resources, didn't give them the treasures from the Qiusuo Realm, do you think that would be good?"
"Yu Xiu offering you such terms means he doesn't want to take your Family assets for nothing."
"Mr. Wu, your children and grandchildren will have their own fortunes. If you want them to be worms, staying in the Qilin Battle Team's logistics, I can persuade Yu Xiu to agree to your terms."
"If you want them to become Dragons, how can they succeed without some tempering?"
"Your Family descendants, having used the best resources since childhood, all have solid Foundations. The only thing they lack is tempering, which leads to their strength being inflated, earning them the moniker 'Qi and Blood Martial Artists' from outsiders."
"In my opinion, letting them undergo the Qilin Battle Team's assessment is a good opportunity. Yu Xiu's methods and ability to temper people, I don't need to elaborate."
"What he did during the military training shocked the entire nation, and the Military Department even actively requested Yu Xiu to serve as the General Instructor."
"Yu Xiu's ability is beyond doubt. Entrusting your Family's young ones to Yu Xiu, I believe, will absolutely not be a mistake."
"Mr. Wu, you must remember, Yu Xiu will eventually go to the No Mans Land. If your Family's young ones don't make something of themselves, they will only needlessly lose their lives then."
At this point, the President of Huaxia University deliberately sighed.
Mr. Wu also frowned deeply at this moment.
He remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Our Wu Family agrees to Mr. Yu's request."
"However, whether other Families will agree, I'm not clear, and I can't guarantee it."
"Of course, I will also try my best to persuade them."
"Shen, you're right, those young ones are the future of our Families."
"If they can't succeed, it's better to let them stay home in peace."
"Enjoy a temporary life of wealth until the demise of our Families arrives."
"Although the Wu Family is acting under orders from the higher-ups, once the matter is exposed, the future of our Wu Family will also be in jeopardy."
At this, Mr. Wu stood up and said, "Shen, arrange for someone to come with me to the Wu Family to liquidate all the Family assets."
The President of Huaxia University chuckled, "Mr. Wu, just hand over the resources. As for the mundane items, leave some for yourselves. After all, such a large Family still needs to survive."
"Actually, living a stable life as a wealthy man isn't a bad thing either."
Mr. Wu nodded, "I understand what you mean."
