Chapter 47 Husband and Wife as One
When their mentor, Dong Ying, came to review the results, each member of Leng Qiuchan's group had completed a speed transmission note.
Furthermore, they proposed a two-in-one idea, which, although not successfully implemented, is indeed a new approach worth trying.
Instructor Dong Ying has always been fair in her rewards and punishments. Because of this new approach, she rewarded them with three punishment pardon cards, so that they could be exempted from punishment three times if they failed to complete a task in the future.
Looking at the five finished high-speed transmission talismans in her hand, she immediately conducted an experiment, transmitting the talisman to Instructor Chang, who was taking the advanced class out, and recording the time it took for her to receive the reply.
Just as they said, the speed was at least 50% faster.
A rare smile appeared on Instructor Dong Ying's usually serious face. It had been a long time since any student had been able to complete this innovative transmission talisman.
If no group can finish today, she is prepared to give up.
Shifang Academy constantly tries various innovations in order to explore more convenient, faster, and more practical tools to assist in combat.
Because the great war foretold is not far off.
Instructor Dong Ying didn't actually intend to punish everyone today; she just wanted to scare them. These students tend to relax on their own if they aren't closely supervised.
I never expected to receive this unexpected joy today!
She was so excited by this innovative talisman, which exceeded her expectations, that she forgot about the new student drawing a superior talisman.
"Ahem! Today, our beginner class's Cold Autumn Cicada group actually completed an innovation in the sound transmission talisman, which is something to celebrate!"
So, for their sake, everyone else will be spared punishment. But don't get too excited yet!
If you fail to complete the assignments I give you next time, you'll be punished for both offenses, and your time in the talisman array will be extended.
Everyone was overjoyed by Teacher Dong Ying's words. They had finally escaped a disaster today. As for the punishment next time, they would talk about it later.
"In the next class, we will learn the basic Mountain-Moving Talisman. You can preview it beforehand when you get home. I hope no one will be punished." Instructor Dong Ying casually said this and turned to leave.
Achen suddenly realized that this tutor was really having an easy time. She only spent half an hour lecturing all day, and the next four hours were basically for everyone to study on their own.
Then she came over to inspect the results, and after that, she left after class.
I remember my mom once asked him, "What kind of job do you want to do when you grow up, Chen?"
At that time, he wanted to be like his father, a majestic commander who would slay powerful mutated beasts and be admired and respected by the soldiers on the front lines.
But now, he has changed his mind. He wants to stay at Shifang Academy as a tutor, just like Dong Ying, which is both prestigious and easy!
As soon as the instructor, Dong Ying, left, the classroom became noisy again. Seeing that no one had left, A-Chen assumed it wasn't time to leave yet, so he stayed as well.
After discussing it for a while, Leng Qiuchan walked over, patted Achen's shoulder and said, "Junior Brother, we've all decided to invite you to the banquet."
"Why?" Ah Chen asked, puzzled.
"Of course, it's because of your help today that our group completed the task, and then Instructor Dong Ying was so happy that she exempted everyone from punishment."
"So, you are our benefactor, and it is only right that we invite you to the banquet," Leng Qiuchan said.
"But the academy allows students to hold banquets?" Achen asked in shock.
“It’s not allowed in the academy, but we can hold the banquet at a restaurant outside,” Luo Qiuyan said.
"Does the academy allow students to go out and return late?" Achen asked.
"Of course, our Shifang Academy is the most tolerant. As long as you can attend class on time tomorrow, even if you go out and kill someone tonight, the academy won't care," Qiu Shuangyu said with a smile.
Achen: ...
The female students watching couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw his eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
"Pfft, hahaha! Ouch! Ouch! Shuangyu, you're too good at making people laugh. Look how scared our junior brother has turned pale!" Leng Qiuchan pointed at her, clutching her stomach and laughing.
"So? The dinner was a joke, and ignoring murder was also a lie?" Ah Chen smiled helplessly. He was always very tolerant of girls. He was a man, after all, how could he be so petty with a girl?
"No, no, the dinner is real, and it's okay to go out and come home late."
"Our Shifang Academy never interferes with students' free time, but if they cause trouble outside during their free time, they are not allowed to use the academy's name, otherwise they will be severely punished!" Qiu Shuangyu hurriedly explained.
When Ah Chen received the news, he was so happy he almost jumped for joy. He quickly drew a few speed transmission talismans and planned to go find Sister Lele and Brother Jin Liu to give one to each of them so they could keep in touch in the future.
Then he also wanted to go back to see his godmother and find out how his parents were doing.
**
Feather Fan, who was being thought of by her son, decided to go to the Temple of the Witch God in person.
Ruonuan's defection did not cause any real harm to the Holy Witch Clan. On the contrary, because of this incident, the relationship between Saintess Lanmi and Yu Shan improved.
The two sat together and talked seriously for a long time.
Yu Shan also imparted to her the magic seals on the murals of the Witch God Temple that she had comprehended without reservation. Although Lan Mi could not learn them in a short time, she was still very grateful.
Thinking back on her previous pettiness, she felt ashamed and then made a decision.
"Senior Feather Fan, I can sense the child in your womb; her Holy Witch Clan bloodline is very pure."
Therefore, I implore you to keep her in the clan as a candidate for the next saintess. I will personally train her, and I believe she will become a more qualified saintess than I am.”
Lan Mi spoke earnestly, but before Yu Shan could reply, Xiao Bai stood up and loudly retorted, "No! I do not agree to let my daughter become a saintess!"
He willingly accompanied Yu Shan back to her hometown to fulfill her wish. No matter how much danger there was, he was willing to risk it all and would stand in front of her without hesitation to prevent her from being harmed.
But this doesn't mean he's willing to sacrifice his unborn daughter. After learning about it over the past two days, he's come to understand.
The Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan is a high-risk profession that requires dedicating everything to the people and working tirelessly until death.
They cannot fall in love or get married, nor can they leave their clan's territory without permission. Every day, they must cultivate continuously, and then every now and then go to the Temple of the Witch God to comprehend the various spells within.
The most terrifying thing is that these spells also include forbidden spells, and each forbidden spell will bring backlash after being used.
How could he be so foolish as to let his unborn daughter become a candidate for sainthood?
It's not just him who can't bear to part with it; ask their friends, who can?
Before Yu Shan could even offer any advice, Lan Mi said unhappily from the side, "Senior Yu Shan, your husband seems to have no manners at all."
You shouldn't spoil him too much. You should ask the elders of the clan to teach him how to be a husband to a woman of our Holy Witch Clan!
Xiao Bai almost lost his temper upon hearing this, but then he heard Yu Shan say, "I really didn't intend for my daughter to become a saintess. I already owe her too much before she was even born."
In this life, all I wish for is that she can live peacefully, happily, and freely without any constraints; I don't wish for her to have any great power.
As for my husband, he is not a member of the Holy Witch Clan and does not need to abide by our rules.
We are husband and wife as one, and his words are my words. I do not want to hear any more disrespect towards him from any other member of our tribe.
Otherwise, I will take him away and no longer concern myself with the future of the Holy Witch Clan.
After all, I've done everything I was supposed to do for my people in my life, and my family owes no one anything.
"I'm sorry! I misspoke! Please forgive me, Mr. Bai!" Lan Mi bowed and apologized, waving her feather fan to indicate that she wouldn't hold it against him.
"Senior Feather Fan, since you do not intend to let your daughter succeed as the Holy Maiden, I advise you not to enter the Temple of the Witch God anymore."
"That place is completely different now. Opening it once is extremely difficult, and what's inside... is really hard to describe!" Lan Mi said cryptically, but Yu Shan could tell that she wasn't lying.
It seems that during the hundreds of years she was gone, the Temple of the Witch God was no longer the Temple of the Witch God it once was; something must have gone wrong.
She was mentally prepared for this, but how could she find out the problems of the Temple of the Witch God and do her best to solve them if she didn't go in and see for herself?
