Linglong smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Meng, let's go inside and talk."

Meng Bai and Qin Luo nodded with smiles.

Linglong's pretty face instantly turned stern. "Have you had enough of the excitement? Hurry up and go back to your book."

The younger generation remained silent in fear.

Seeing Linglong's fierce expression, the younger students all returned to their classrooms, and the academy immediately became quiet.

"Mr. Qin, please excuse my poor appearance."

Linglong said with her head down.

Qin Luo praised, "A strict teacher produces outstanding students!"

"rational!"

Meng Bai nodded in agreement.

They arrived at the academy's tea room.

Linglong personally brewed tea and said softly, "Mr. Qin, Fairy Flower Shadow, please have some tea."

"Mr. Meng, please have some tea."

"Old Wu, have some tea."

"There's actually a share for me."

Wu Shashen picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Qin Luo, holding a cup of tea, asked, "I see there are quite a few disciples at the academy. Are you managing to keep up?"

Linglong frowned slightly. "When Qing'er was managing the academy, I felt quite relaxed. But since I took over managing the academy from Qing'er, I only feel headaches. Every day there are all sorts of big and small things, some of which even require me to report on taking a dump. Fortunately, Ziyue and the others come to help, so I can barely manage."

Wu Shashen laughed and said, "I knew Chu Peiran was up to no good the moment he arrived. If he dares to treat Miss Zhao badly, I won't let him off the hook!"

Qin Luo chuckled and said, "Then I'll come to the academy to help out."

Upon hearing this, Linglong's eyes widened, and she quickly waved her hand, "Mr. Qin, how could I accept this? You have more important things to do. We can handle this."

Qin Luo smiled slightly, "You keep calling me 'sir,' I'm the one who should feel embarrassed. You all treat me like the dean, so I should do something for Jinghu Academy as well."

Hua Ying chuckled and said, "I have some free time these days, so I can come and help out at Mirror Lake Academy."

Linglong thought for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly. "How about this, Mr. Qin, since you've just returned, why don't you rest for a couple of days first? I'll arrange the classes, and then you can come and help."

"Then it's settled."

Qin Luo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Wu Shashen, "Brother Wu, what are your plans for the future?"

Wu Shashen laughed loudly, "I plan to teach the younger generation martial arts at the academy while cultivating myself. Once I have cultivated the Golden Body of Martial Arts, I will continue to challenge Qiu Luoye."

Qin Luo said seriously, "When I came back, I passed by Qiufeng Tower and encountered Qiu Luoye in his peak condition. He is really powerful. If you want to beat him, a martial arts golden body is not enough. You need to achieve physical nirvana to have a chance."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shashen's eyes widened. After thinking it over carefully, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll just train until I reach the Martial God Realm before going to find him, so as not to lose face. I'm an instructor at the academy now, so it's okay if I lose, but I can't bring shame to the academy."

"Hahaha."

Qin Luo and the others burst out laughing.

Hua Ying sat beside Qin Luo, quietly sipping her tea. She could feel the relaxed atmosphere.

Qin Luo looked at Meng Bai and bowed slightly, "Elder Meng, what are your plans for the future?"

Meng Bai chuckled and said, "I have been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years. Xiao Chu told me that this place is suitable for retirement, so I came here."

Wu Shashen laughed and said, "There's nothing good about the martial world. I'm planning to retire here."

"Ha ha ha ha."
