Hua Qiang's Decision, White Tiger Academy

"That was the first snowfall of 2002, which came later than usual... On that day, Gu Hongyan was waiting for bus number 2 at platform number 8."

"A young man, covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, staggered toward her."

"She finally collapsed to the ground, about ten meters away from her."

"Gu Hongyan, moved by kindness, used her magic to save this person."

Unexpectedly, disaster struck.

"This person is actually a direct descendant of a Secluded Families from the Capital War Zone."

"This man was immediately struck by Gu Hongyan's Celestial Person upon first sight, and when Gu Hongyan saved his life, he developed feelings of love for her."

"Half a month later, before his injuries had fully healed, he brought his parents, who were at the Martial Emperor Realm, his maternal grandfather, who was at the half-step Martial Saint Realm, and a group of others to Gu Hongyan's family to propose marriage."

"Gu Hongyan's grandfather, Gu Qingshu, who was only at the Martial Emperor Realm, was overjoyed and readily agreed."

"The opponent is a half-step Martial Saint!"

"When Gu Hongyan learned of this news, it was like a bolt from the blue. She immediately went to her father, mother, and grandfather, repeatedly stating that she had someone she loved and would never marry anyone else. She also revealed that she was already pregnant!"

This enraged Gu Qingshu, who immediately ordered the execution of Hua Xingchen's entire family.

"If it weren't for Gu Hongyan's desperate pleas and threats of suicide, your cheap old man might have died young, and the trees on his grave would be all grown tall by now!"

"When that man learned about Gu Hongyan and Hua Xingchen's affair, he became furious and asked his maternal grandfather to intervene and suppress Hua Xingchen's family."

"Not only were they expelled from the White Tiger Academy, but they also severely injured him and threw him into the Demon Suppressing Abyss Demon Suppressing Eye, threatening his family's lives to force him to suppress the demon for 100 years!"

"Your mother, Gu Hongyan, was punished by her grandfather by being confined to an Ice Grotto."

"As for your father, I was severely injured in that battle with the Outer Realm Demons, which damaged my foundation and caused my cultivation level to fall to the mortal realm, making me an ordinary person."

"Disheartened, I also withdrew from the White Tiger Academy."

"Fifteen years ago, someone slipped a letter under the door. The contents of the letter were..."

"Son, with your intelligence, you can naturally imagine it."

"That letter contains information about your whereabouts."

"Then, your mother and I found that Orphanage and adopted you."

"White Tiger Academy has become a regret and a pain in the hearts of the three of us. Therefore, your father asks you to enter White Tiger Academy, to finish the road we did not finish, and to fulfill our remaining wishes."

"Most importantly, the barrier leading to the Demon Suppressing Abyss -Suppressing Abyss can be opened there."

"When you have enough strength, your father hopes you will go to the Demon Suppressing Abyss and rescue your cheap old man who is suffering in the purgatory."

"If possible, bring your mother along as well, so that the couple can be reunited."

"The culprit who caused this mess, once you've grown strong enough to suppress them, I hope you can avenge them!"

Hua Qiang listened as if it were someone else's story, without any emotional fluctuation. After Ye Wendao finished speaking, he nodded lightly.

"Dad, since this is a knot in your heart, then I'll help you untie it!"

"As for my cheap parents, I'll rescue them when the time comes."

"Hahaha..."

Ye Wendao let out a hearty laugh. "Good, Dad likes you just the way you are, calm and collected, saying the most arrogant things in a calm tone."

Hua Qiang smiled slightly, his expression relaxed.

"Dad, Mom, I'm here!"

Ye Bingxue's light and cheerful voice came from outside the villa.

Immediately afterwards, the door was opened, and Ye Bingxue immediately saw Hua Qiang sitting on the sofa, her face showing surprise.

"Brother, weren't you at the hospital? Why are you home? How is Sister Yanran?"

Before Hua Qiang could answer, the crowd following Ye Bingxue surged into the villa.

These people surrounded Ye Wendao, showering him with greetings and fawning over him as if they were seeing not an ordinary person, but a famous celebrity or a national leader!

Ye Wendao was completely bewildered by the enthusiasm of these people.

Long Zhiyuan smiled broadly, bowed slightly to Ye Wendao, and said with utmost respect, "Brother, you are truly blessed to have Kirin Son!"

"Hua Qiang is the top scorer in the national College Entrance Examination this time!"

"This kid is too outstanding, brother. Please give priority to our Azure Dragon Academy."

"Our school has a strong faculty and advanced teaching facilities. If Hua Qiang can come to our school, he will definitely receive the best training!"

Not to be outdone, Shan Hongling dress, quickly stepped forward to look at Ye Wendao.

"Uh, Eldest Brother, don't listen to this old man, he's really bad!"

"Your Hua Qiang's first choice should be our Vermilion Bird Academy!"

"Once you come to our academy, my Eldest Brother won't have to worry about finding a wife."

"The girls in our college are all beautiful, have great figures, are rich, and are good at bearing children."

"He can choose any type of woman—looks, size, temperament, etc."

"Furthermore, our college emphasizes academic exchange, which will surely allow Hua Qiang to shine brightly in the future!"

The teachers' lips twitched in unison. "Are you here to recruit students, or to seduce people with your female charms?"

Afterwards, Wan Shuihan, Hu Qingshan, and admissions officers from various universities, and even some university presidents, actively dedicated themselves to the cause.

They persuaded Ye Wendao to vote for their school, and then recruited Hua Qiang to their school.

After the initial shock, Ye Wendao gradually calmed down.

After all, he was once a member of the martial arts world, and he had shone brightly.

"Um... everyone, please sit down. Son, make some tea and offer some cigarettes!" Ye Wendao instructed Hua Qiang.

"No, no, Eldest Brother, don't be so polite. We don't drink tea or smoke. We just need Hua Qiang to come to our school!"

"Name your terms!" These people were going all out.

"Well... everyone, listen to me!"

As soon as Ye Wendao uttered those words, the villa fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Liu Li had already stopped what she was doing and stood quietly at the kitchen door, watching this scene.

"As for which school my son will attend, he has already made up his mind. You can ask him directly!"

Goose, goose, goose...

Ye Bingxue burst into laughter.

Hua Qiang's face stiffened. His father was being a bit unreasonable, dumping this thorny problem on him.

But since his father had spoken, he naturally had to step forward and take responsibility.

He glanced at everyone and smiled, "First of all, thank you all for your recognition of me. It is truly an honor that professors from various universities have come to my door to recruit a mere candidate!"

"As for which university I will attend, I just discussed it with my father and we have already decided on one."

The people in the hall immediately became excited and nervous, all looking at Hua Qiang, hoping he would utter the name of their school.

Hua Qiang glanced around at everyone again, then walked up to Wan Shuihan. Looking at this stunningly beautiful woman with a cold demeanor and wearing a light brown suit, he suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Professor Wan, what offers can your college make in return?"

Wan Shuihan was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Hua Qiang Qiangyu: "Whatever conditions you propose, I will agree!"

"Yeah?"

A wicked smile crept across Hua Qiang's face, and he said, "I want you..."
