"Thank you, Dean." Li Xiaoxiao clasped her hands in thanks, and Qi Qiwenzhu quickly expressed his gratitude as well, followed by Wu Shiyao. Only then did the storm subside.

“Li Xiaoxiao, your cultivation is superb. After entering my academy, you are the chief disciple under me. Your child, Xuanyuan, should be the chief disciple of Elder Wuwei. I haven’t had time to tell you about this yet.”

The dean told Li Xiaoxiao about this with a smile. Everyone present had strange expressions. The dean had not yet found a successor. Whoever became the dean's chief disciple might become the future dean.

"Yes, Master, thank you for your guidance." Li Xiaoxiao bowed and accepted the order, though she couldn't quite understand it.

The dean breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he agreed. If he hadn't, that madman Qi Yu would probably have caused trouble again.

"Thank you, Master." Xuanyuan Ying replied in a childish voice. The Dean looked at Xuanyuan Ying and couldn't stop laughing. "Ying'er, I'm not your master. Your master will come to see you in a few days."

Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pinch Xuan Yuan Ying's little face. This little guy is so cute, so can she go to the father-son exchange?

This matter was decided in a hurry, which confused many people. Even Wu Shiyao did not understand why it was Li Xiaoxiao, since according to the divination she had calculated, it should have been Xuanyuan Yu.

Besides, Li Xiaoxiao is a person with magic power. Couldn't the dean see that? That's unlikely.

What exactly does this decision mean? And the shadow that had been looming over the abacus, which we'd been calculating all along, is gradually disappearing. Could it be because of the laws of this plane? Is Li Xiaoxiao a key figure in these laws?

After much deliberation, Wu Shiyao left with her husbands, and Li Xiaoxiao also left with her child.

After everyone left, only Qi Wenzhu and Li Suzhu remained. She looked up at Qi Wenzhu, whose cultivation level was very ordinary, only at the Golden Core stage. In the past, she would not have even looked up to such a person, but today he protected her. Qi Wenzhu was the first person in this world to protect her. No one had ever protected her in her life.

Adding to the fact that she had encountered the Second Elder, her life was already ruined. It was impossible for any man to be interested in her anymore. Those who were interested in her were only after status. However, Qi Wenzhu was Li Xiaoxiao's younger brother and someone brought by Li Xiaoxiao. Status was something that could be summoned at will. She couldn't understand his purpose. But her heart, which had been sealed for a long time, was beating wildly.

As Li Suzhu was deep in thought, Qi Wenzhu said, "Get up. Kneeling all the time isn't good for the child."

A voice as beautiful as heavenly music rang out. Li Suzhu looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears, "Why did you save me, young master?"

"Because you have a Gu King inside you. It would be pitiful to keep tormenting you because of this. You will be my wife in the future, so I saved you in advance."

She didn't understand what her future wife was like, but she knew she had been saved. "If you don't mind, I am willing to be your concubine for the rest of my life."

Chastity was so important in this era. Apart from Wu Shiyao and Wu Xinyue, who were able to keep so many men's hearts in check, how could anyone else do the same?

Someone like her would probably be utterly despised by men.

"Okay, I will marry you as soon as possible and protect you and the child."

Qi Wenzhu approached and reached out his hand. Li Suzhu looked at his fair hand and felt a little shy, but she still took it. With Qi Wenzhu's help, she stood up. She panicked and fell into the man's arms. Li Suzhu's face was flushed, and she said softly, "I didn't mean to."

Qi Wenzhu couldn't help but laugh, "You can't even stabilize yourself when you're at the Tribulation Transcending Realm." Then he reached out and hugged her, "Alright, let's go, let's go to my courtyard. You don't need to stay in the Second Elder's courtyard anymore."

"Yes, I will get ready right away." Li Suzhu steadied herself and put all the messy things out of her mind.
