Faced with Xu Xingyu's questioning, the conference room fell into silence for a short time.

The air seemed to freeze, and everyone was waiting. Who would be the first to express their opinion?

Unexpectedly, but also reasonably, the first person to stand up was Jiang Nannan.

"Qiling Tower supports the five-house system established by Speaker Xu and Vice Speaker." She spoke in a firm tone and calm expression without a trace of hesitation.

As a representative of Qiling Academy, her words not only represent herself, but also the entire camp behind Qiling Tower. More importantly, her identity - one of Xu Xingyu's lovers - makes her statement seem natural. If there is anyone who will be the first to break the silence at this moment, it must be her.

This action was like ringing a bell for the opening, making the silent conference room active again.

"Heh." A light laugh rang out among the crowd, but it did not reveal any hostility. It was Xu Jiawei.

Xu Xingyu's brother-in-law, Xu Jiawei, was also one of the representatives of the Shenji Pavilion and the Sun and Moon Academy. He stood up slowly, looking relaxed, but his words were very straightforward.

"I have no objection either. The Shen Ji Pavilion supports it."

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly under the gaze of everyone and sat down again, as if this was just a normal meeting process.

Soon after, Kong Deming from Tianzui Academy also stood up. He was wearing a simple robe and had a calm expression, giving people a sense of maturity and steadiness.

"Tianzui Academy has no objection either."

It was a simple sentence, but it had unquestionable weight. The existence of Tianzui College was already special, and this time it was able to sit squarely in the framework of the five colleges. This was simply a fantasy in the past. But Kong Deming didn't say a word and chose to express his support directly.

This also makes people feel the firm stance of Tianzui Academy.

Then, it’s Jing Hongchen.

She was wearing a silver-white research robe, and her expression was as cool and rational as ever.

"Representative of the Sun and Moon Research Institute - no objection."

Her words were calm, but no one present despised her words. After all, as one of the most prominent leaders in the institute, once she expressed her support, it basically represented the direction of the entire scientific research community.

Xue Lingxun also expressed her opinion: "I have no objection either. The Snow Region representatives accept the establishment of the new system."

On her side was the Snowfield Academy in the Far North, which also had a certain influence. Her voice was soft, but it had an unquestionable power.

When everyone's attention turned to the seats of the main academy, a laugh made the atmosphere become strange.

"Since everyone supports it, it would be inappropriate for me to pour cold water on this old guy if I don't poison him to death."

Du Bu Si stood up with a smile. His look was very casual, but he cleverly avoided Yan Shaozhe's murderous look.

"The Ontology Academy, no objection."

After saying that, he sat down as if nothing had happened, with a look of indifference on his face.

But only those who are familiar with him know that this seemingly cheerful man is actually the one who knows how the wind blows. It's not that he doesn't have a stance, but he never makes unnecessary sacrifices. Choosing to support the five major hospitals at this moment obviously shows that this situation cannot be reversed.

Just when everyone thought that the opponents had been silenced and the meeting would proceed smoothly, a pair of eyes were still unwilling to give in.

Yan Shaozhe.

His eyes were as sharp as knives as he swept in the direction of Du Bu Si, his eyes full of disbelief and anger.

"Didn't we agree to ostracize Tianzui Academy together? You traitor!!" His heart was roaring, but his face maintained a calm appearance.

He took a deep breath, but saw Wei Tian also slowly stand up.

That was one of the allies that should have been on his side.

Wei Tian sighed, his expression complicated, "We... have no objection."

The moment these words came out of his mouth, Yan Shaozhe felt as if his heart had been trampled on by thousands of horses on the grassland, leaving the ground in a mess.

"Have you all... betrayed?"

He finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.

"Speaker!" he shouted, "I have no objection to the five-chamber system you established. I even agree with it very much! However, I have doubts about the candidates for the five-chamber system... If possible, can you allow me to finish my opinion?"

After these words were spoken, the conference room fell silent again for a moment.

Xu Jiujiu frowned and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"You Shrek guys are still as unruly as ever," she whispered softly, and then stood up to refute, "Your attitude is more like forcing than discussing. Even if he disagrees, he has to let you speak?"

However, just as she was halfway through her words, Xu Xingyu raised her hand to stop her, speaking in a neither slow nor hurried tone.

"It doesn't matter."

His voice was very soft, but it was particularly clear to everyone's ears.

"The establishment of the federal system was not to silence everyone, but to prevent one dominant company and the existence of a country within a country. If he has something to say, I will not stop him."

He looked towards Yan Shaozhe, his expression calm, yet with an awe-inspiring pressure.

"Go on."

"Thank you, Speaker!" Yan Shaozhe bowed to express his gratitude, then straightened up, looking around, with some excitement in his voice.

"I know that the existence of Tianzui Academy is based on responding to the current situation."

"The aftermath of the Holy Spirit Empire has not yet subsided. A large number of soul masters and even ordinary people have been forced to transform into evil soul masters. This is a disaster, and the Tianzui Academy was established precisely to solve this problem."

“I admit that this is very far-sighted and responsible!”

He paused, then changed the subject.

"But... that's why I'm worried - are you... giving these evil soul masters too much power?"

He stared at Xu Xingyu and his tone became increasingly intense.

"We acknowledge that they already have the power of law enforcement. But now you want them to become one of the five major colleges. Does this mean that the core education system is open to them?"

The atmosphere in the conference room changed slightly, and some representatives began to whisper to each other.

“Isn’t this a breeding ground for evildoers to grow and gather power openly through this new system?”

"Speaker, you must think twice! If these people have evil intentions in the future, who will bear the consequences? Who will stop them from leading the Federation into another cycle of the Holy Spirit Empire?!"

His voice became louder and louder, almost questioning and angry, as if he was the last line of defense guarding the righteous path.

But when he reached the climax, Xu Xingyu just looked at him quietly and then spoke softly.

"You are right. We do need to consider the risks."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up when he heard this, thinking that he had convinced the other party.

But the next sentence made him break out in a cold sweat.

"But... did you notice the contradiction in your words?"

"Contradiction?" Yan Shaozhe was stunned. "You, you, you...what do you mean?!"

Xu Xingyu's expression was still calm, but her pair of golden eyes were like the scorching sun, making it impossible to look directly at them.

"You said they were forced to transform into evil soul masters because of war and turmoil, the suffering of the times; but when they stood up and wanted to take a different path, you used the view of 'evil by nature' to prevent them from obtaining legitimate rights."

"You acknowledge that they were victims, but you put them back in the position of sinners."

"You said they might use their power as law enforcers to expand their influence, but you overlooked that it was precisely because of the countless times that you, the 'justice army', suppressed them in the past that they were cornered and fell into the true evil path."

"So I ask you - do you want to save them? Or do you want to step on their heads forever?"

This series of words echoed in the conference hall like thunder.

Yan Shaozhe's face was pale, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't speak.

Xu Xingyu's last words echoed in his mind:

"Do you want to save them? Or do you want to step on their heads forever?"
