"So, Dean, what do you want us to do?" Hearing this, Dongfang Mian felt sorry for the baby, but still didn't understand why the dean had asked them to come.
"I hope you can take the Ancestor into the secret realm that will be opened soon. There is a kind of medicinal herb there that can suppress the Ancestor's poisonous body, allowing him to better control his poisonous bloodline," the Grand Dean said, taking a deep breath. "Then, I hope you can take him to the Upper Realm and send him back to the Ancestor's side."
"Send them to the Upper Realm? Dean, you make it sound so easy. How can you have so much confidence in us? I remember that many senior students in the academy have reached the Spirit Emperor realm," Dongfang Mian asked suspiciously.
"Because of him," the dean looked at Yan Lin, "I noticed him as soon as he appeared during your competition. He has the same aura as the ancestor, but this aura does not belong to this realm; it comes from the upper realm."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mian looked at Yan Lin, who raised his eyelids and said, "We can take him up, but what's in it for us?"
"You may choose any of the rare treasures from my Vermilion Bird Academy," the Dean said magnanimously.
“You know what I’m talking about. Since you know about the Upper Realm, you should know that we need the Sands of Time in your hands,” Yan Lin said casually.
Time flies!
Dongfang Mian's expression brightened. "Dean, you have the sands of time."
The dean stared at Yan Lin and said, "I do have the Sand of Time, which was left by our ancestor, but I can't give it to you now because our ancestor hasn't approved of you yet, and I'm not at ease with him."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mian looked down at the baby in her arms who was quietly listening to the dean speak. The baby gave her a sweet smile, but it was not hard to see in the baby's eyes that it was full of wariness towards her.
The poor child, Dongfang Mian patted his head with pity, then said to the headmaster, "No matter what, let's go to the secret realm first to find the medicinal herbs to suppress the baby's poisonous body."
The dean nodded, indicating that he had nothing more to say.
Dongfang Mian and the others turned to leave, but the baby grabbed Dongfang Mian's hand and said, "I want to sleep with Mommy."
Yan Lin said with a dark face, "Do you believe I'll slice you into a pancake right now?"
"Wah~", the baby was startled by him, sniffed, and cried loudly.
Dongfang Mian hurriedly wiped away his tears, while the dean quickly advised, "Why don't you take him back? I'll put a small bed in your room later, so it will be easier for you to build trust."
Dongfang Mian readily agreed, and seeing Yan Lin's murderous gaze, she said, "No matter what, he's just a child. Why are you jealous of a child?"
Yan Lin was furious. First, there was that little perverted cat, then that little poison child, and they all got to sleep in that room, while he, the rightful ruler, was left alone in an empty room. When had he, a dignified ruler of a realm, ever suffered such humiliation?
However, on the surface, Yan Lin maintained his usual arrogant image, seemingly ignoring the matter as if he didn't care at all, and returned to his room with his last bit of stubbornness.
Dongfang Mian carried the baby back to the room. The crib had already been brought over. Dongfang Mian put the baby in the crib, and he quickly fell asleep.
Looking at that innocent little face, the sleeping face showing deep fatigue, Dongfang Mian couldn't help but sigh, "After all, you're still just a child. Don't worry, I'll take you to find your heartless father and ask him how he could bear to abandon such a lovely child."
After tucking the baby in, Dongfang Mian stretched and prepared to rest as well. When she turned around, she saw the baby's eyelashes tremble involuntarily on the crib.
