Fang Zong did his best to arrange the best for every student at Dragon Nest School, including Sun Qi.

Every student is different; they are all individuals. To cultivate them into the backbone of the Eastern Demon Slayer Team, we need to teach them according to their aptitude. Fang Zong assigned these tasks to all the teachers, teaching assistants, and counselors.

In the teaching staff of Dragon Nest School, apart from Murong Zhen, the number one strategist in the Eastern Kingdom, every one of them is a supernatural-level expert. The teaching assistants are at least at the fifth level of the art level, and even the most ordinary counselors, such as Wu Yongci, have their own abilities. Therefore, the students all receive a very good education, except for Sun Qi.

It wasn't that no one put in the effort; in fact, Sun Qi's information had already been given to Fang Zong long ago.

The teachers are all trying to solve Sun Qi's problem. Unfortunately, Zhao Xiao was the only genius among the teachers at Dragon Valley School. Zhao Xiao was only focused on Sun Meimei and failed to discover Sun Qi's strengths. Today, Bai Baixue pointed them out, and Sun Qi's future is limitless.

“Even if you have a bright future, you still need to fight for your teammates, do you understand?” Fang Zong patted Sun Qi on the shoulder.

He admired Sun Qi's resilience, and even more so, he admired Sun Qi's courage to plead with him for Zhenzi's sake. Suddenly, he felt very old and had a "terrifying" thought that "this child is very much like me."

Sun Qi nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Principal," but his expression changed slightly, and he hesitated to speak.

"Be bolder," Fang Zong encouraged his students.

"Yes, Principal!" Sun Qi responded loudly, "I know that Sadako became a ghost because of me, and her feelings for me are absolutely genuine. But Sadako has her own reasons... Sadako came to me not to deal with me, but to deal with the school and the principal. I can't guarantee that Sadako will tell me everything, but I can guarantee that I will never let the school and the principal suffer while I'm alive. I am your student!"

Fang Zong gave a half-smile: "Anything else?"

"This..." Sun Qi scratched his head awkwardly, "Principal, if Sadako doesn't want to talk, could you please not kill her? If she has harmed people in the past, could she atone for her sins? I'll go with her to atone for her sins?"

Fang Zong hesitated for a moment, then said, "For your sake, I agree."

"Principal!" Sun Qi was overjoyed, and tears immediately streamed down his face.

He couldn't believe it at all; Fang Zong had agreed, and that it was "for his sake."

Principal Fang thinks highly of him, so why should he feel inferior?

The important thing was that someone recognized him, even Principal Fang Zong recognized him… Sun Qi straightened his back immediately, and his eyes shone with something he had never seen before—confidence. With his newfound confidence, he became radiant.

"This kid is good," Bai Baixue said to Fang Zong after Sun Qi left.

Fang Zong nodded: "My students are all very good, I was just saying..."

Sun Qi went straight to the Empress Dowager's office.

The Empress's office was rather strange; it looked like a house from the 1890s, with latticed glass windows, green-painted window panes, and old-fashioned painted wooden tables and chairs—the kind of room Murong Zhen lived in when he was a child.

"Don't even think about escaping. You should have heard of my name. I never show mercy when I kill demons." The Empress warned the kneeling Sadako, then gave Murong Zhen a sweet smile. "Do you want to interrogate her?"

"No rush, let's wait for someone first."

"Waiting for whom?"

"He's here."

Murong Zhen looked out the window at Sun Qi running towards him and laughed, "If he hadn't come, I would have suggested that Fang Zong expel him from the school. Fang Zong would definitely not agree, and then I would have needed to use some methods. But since he's here, this kid is worth nurturing."

"You think this child is good?"

People who value loyalty and righteousness are always likable. Everyone likes to be friends with such people, at least they are less likely to be stabbed in the back.

Murong Zhen gave a brief explanation, and upon hearing the door open politely and softly, said directly, "Come in."

Sun Qi pushed the door open and respectfully closed it. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Murong Zhen laugh and say, "Ask away, I'm listening, I won't interrupt."

"Thank you, Teacher Murong."

Sun Qi looked at Sadako.

Sadako also looked at Sun Qi.

It looked like Sadako was seven or eight years older than Sun Qi, who was still a middle school student. Given his short stature, he appeared even younger. "Sadako, speak," he said, gently helping Sadako up; his hand was even smaller than hers.

"I can't say."

"Tell me, the principal has agreed. We can be together. Even if you made mistakes in the past, we can make amends."

"I can't tell you! You don't know how terrifying that military spirit is. If I told you, he would kill you! He has the ability to kill you!" Sadako cried. "Besides, you're human, and I'm a ghost. I'm also so much older than you. We can't be together. Fang Zong is definitely lying to you. He knows the whole story, and he won't even protect you..."

"I believe in the principal, and you should believe in him too."

Sadako shook her head, crying, "I've killed many people."

Sun Qi laughed: "I already said that the principal promised to let us atone for our sins."

"Then I can't drag you down. If I ruin your achievements, your future will be ruined. I've killed many people in Japan. Do you know about the Sadako Network? I used the name of Sadako from that videotape to attract many people to the website, and I absorbed countless lives to become a supernatural being... I'm just a little ghost. I've harmed..."

Before Sadako could finish speaking, Sun Qi's eyes widened: "Wait, what did you say?"

"I have killed a lot of people."
