Closed Off for Five Years, Already Invincible Upon Descending the Mountain

Five years ago, a mysterious 'Eight Desolations Diagram' led to the massacre of the Ye family.

That night, Ye Qiu was saved by a mysterious person, becoming the only survivor of the Y...

Chapter 498 Big Surprise

"What kind of big gift?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

The Imperial Tutor's Consort and Wu Manman were also staring at Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu smiled and took out a document, handing it to Ye Qiu.

"What is this?" Ye Qiu asked.

Lin Qingzhu didn't speak, but gestured for Ye Qiu to open it.

Ye Qiu frowned slightly as he opened the file and began to read its contents.

After quickly scanning the area, Ye Qiu was overjoyed.

This document actually came from the Ministry of Rites of the Great Dragon Dynasty, and was stamped with the official seal of the Minister of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites specially approved that from the date the document arrived, Tongcheng Academy would be placed under the jurisdiction of Jiedao Academy and managed by Jiedao Academy. Everything of Tongcheng Academy would belong to Jiedao Academy.

The position of the original head of the academy will be temporarily held by Lin Qingzhu. Once a more suitable candidate is found, there is no need to report; the more suitable person can be put into office immediately, and then the matter will be reported for approval later.

After reading the contents, Ye Qiu was somewhat alarmed.

He hadn't expected that Lin Qingzhu could accomplish this in such a short time, getting the document bearing the official seal of the Minister of Rites delivered to Tongcheng.

This shows that the Supreme Temple is indeed incredibly powerful.

"Ye Qiu, what is this document?" Wu Manman was extremely curious. Seeing Ye Qiu in a daze, she couldn't help but ask.

"You'll see when you see it; it truly is a great gift and a wonderful surprise."

Ye Qiu handed the document to Wu Manman.

After reading it quickly, Wu Manman was so excited that she burst into tears: "Ye Qiu, with this document, we can legitimately soar to new heights! My God, is this really true?"

“Saintess Lin wouldn’t stoop to trying to fool us with something like this,” Ye Qiu said.

“Yes, you’re right.” Wu Manman hurriedly looked at Lin Qingzhu and bowed deeply: “Saintess Lin, I was not very friendly to you before. I sincerely apologize to you. I’m sorry.”

"No need for an apology. You know I'm here for Ye Qiu." Lin Qingzhu made no attempt to hide her true feelings.

Wu Manman bit her lip and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Then congratulations, you can now marry him with me."

"Huh?" Lin Qingzhu was taken aback, then giggled and said, "Manman, you're so funny. I think you're actually a very capable person. I'm planning to hand over the management of the brand-new Jiedao Academy to you. I wonder if you'd be willing?"

"Can I do it? I feel like I can't handle it." A strong light shone in Wu Manman's eyes.

“You can do it,” Lin Qingzhu said. “The operating rules of Tongcheng Academy are already very mature. After you go there, you don’t need to make too many major changes. You can make some adjustments after you get used to it.”

As for other things, you don't need to worry about them; just focus on doing your job well.

“Okay, I agree. I can give it a try. If I can’t do it, I’m willing to step down at any time and will never hold onto the position,” Wu Manman said excitedly.

"Yes, I will have the maidservant by your side accompany you for a period of time until you reach the Cave Technique Realm. She can protect you," Lin Qingzhu said.

Hearing this, Wu Manman was truly moved; "You...why would you help me like this?"

"I'm not helping you on purpose, but I've investigated you and you're capable of doing the job."

However, I do have a question I'd like to ask you.

"If you had to choose between Ye Qiu and the academy, and choosing one would mean losing the other, what would you choose?" Lin Qingzhu asked abruptly.

Wu Manman was stunned.

How do I choose?

Choosing Ye Qiu means losing the academy; choosing the academy means losing Ye Qiu...

She hesitated!

But Lin Qingzhu didn't make things too difficult for her: "Haha, don't take it seriously, it's just a little joke."

“I choose Ye Qiu,” Wu Manman added.

Hearing this, Ye Qiu, who was initially quite depressed, felt a warmth in his heart.

Lin Qingzhu smiled and said, "In life, we are always making choices. No matter what we choose, there will be regrets. But it doesn't matter. The end for all beings is death. Just let it go."

“That’s true.” Wu Manman nodded with a smile.

"Everyone understands the principle, it was just something I mentioned casually, I hope you don't mind, sister," Lin Qingzhu said with a light laugh.

Wu Manman shook her head: "How could I be angry? Don't worry, sister."

“Alright, then you should go to Tongcheng Academy now. There will be people there to help you with the follow-up matters,” Lin Qingzhu said.

"Alright, Ye Qiu, let's go."

"Wait a minute," Lin Qingzhu said. "You can go by yourself. I have something to say to Ye Qiu."

Furthermore, since you'll be taking over the academy's affairs in the future, you'll have to learn to face all difficulties on your own. You can't expect Ye Qiu to help you with everything; otherwise, we wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting the Jiedao Academy to you, right?"

"This..." Wu Manman hesitated, "Then will Ye Qiu be leaving with you soon?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's how it will be. Surely my sister won't stop him from leaving?"

“I might feel very uneasy if he leaves, but I won’t selfishly try to stop him from leaving, and I can’t stop him anyway, so I will wish him well.”

Wu Manman gave Ye Qiu a deep look, then stepped forward, hugged him, and whispered in his ear, "No matter where you go, remember that there is a teacher named Manman in Tongcheng. She will be waiting for you."

"What are you waiting for? Just marry a good man you meet," Ye Qiu said with a soft laugh.

"Pah, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. I'm going to get back to work."

Wu Manman took two steps back, turned around and quickly left.

"You should invite Tian Hao and the others to go together," Ye Qiu suggested.

"knew."

Wu Manman waved her hand, and her figure disappeared from Ye Qiu's sight.
