1191 The Prophecy Back Then (3)
The old drunkard had said it so clearly, so Qing Gu could not say much. However, there was always a barrier in his heart that prevented him from completely giving up on his persistence over the years.

He had always thought that the Dragon and Phoenix Stars would be the people they had to wait for. Therefore, he had high hopes for these two people over the years and did not hesitate to nurture them with all his might.

If someone told him now that the Dragon and Phoenix Stars were not the people they were waiting for, wouldn’t that mean that all his efforts over the years had been in vain?

How could he accept such an outcome immediately?

Tang Man knew Qing Gu’s dilemma, so he did not say much. Instead, he let him slowly accept the reality. “Back then, the old swindler predicted that dragons and phoenixes would appear in the Five Elements Academy. They would soar through the five continents and ten regions and become the overlord of this place. Only by following these two people can we survive. Therefore, the dragon and phoenix are very important to us. Back then, didn’t we choose to stay in the Five Elements Academy to wait for the dragon and phoenix? No matter who the dragon and phoenix are, when they appear, we have to make the best choice. Otherwise, what awaits us is only destruction.”

“Isn’t the dragon and phoenix the Dragon Star and Phoenix Star?” Qing Gu still had his own persistence. To be precise, he was unwilling to give up on the person he had chosen easily.

“Perhaps the dragon and phoenix are the Dragon Star and Phoenix Star, but are you sure that the Dragon Star and Phoenix Star in the Five Elements Academy are real? Qing Gu, don’t make a mistake you shouldn’t have made because of your stubbornness. I know you have different feelings for the Dragon Star and Phoenix Star, but you’d best be mentally prepared. They haven’t awakened their intrinsic guardian divine beast yet. The identities of the Dragon Star and Phoenix Star are most likely fake.”

Back then, the Old Daoist had said very clearly that the Dragon Star and Phoenix Star would appear in the five continents and ten regions, and the real Dragon Star and Phoenix Star would definitely awaken before the age of 18.

The pair of Dragon and Phoenix Stars from the Five Elements Academy were already close to fifty years old. Apart from having a higher cultivation level and stronger strength, they were no different from ordinary people, nor did they have any intrinsic guardian divine beasts.

Hence, he was already certain that the pair of Dragon and Phoenix Stars in the academy were not the people they were waiting for.

Qing Gu was silent, his heart filled with conflict. He thought about the two outstanding disciples he had personally nurtured. He had treated them as his children, but in the end, he had realized that he had made a mistake. All his hard work had been wasted. He was really hurt.

But so what?
Unless those two children were really the people they were waiting for.

However, everything was still unknown. He shouldn’t have given up on those two children so early.

Even if those two children were not the Dragon and Phoenix Stars or the people he was waiting for, he did not want to give up.

After so many years of interaction, it was a lie to say that he had no feelings for them.

“Alright, don’t be conflicted anymore. We’ll observe Xue Fanxin for a while. After the New Students Secret Realm trial, we’ll test her and see if she’s the person we’re waiting for. However, this girl is not simple. Did you notice that in the Five Elements Academy, anyone who offends her will be inexplicably unlucky?”

Hearing Tang Man’s words, the old drunkard and Qing Gu felt the same.

First was Feng Xiyu, then Wanyan, and then the new students in the Special Class.

Xue Fanxin alone could not do this, so there must be someone backing her, and they were very powerful.

Those who could act wantonly in the Five Elements Academy must be high-level figures in the academy.

But who could it be?
