A few days later.

Ever since Chen Lang became famous in Imperial Capital Academy after one battle, there were naturally no shortage of people in the Green Campus who wanted to challenge him.

Although many people were deterred by Chen Lang's status and didn't want to seek trouble, there were always disciples from Noble Families who wanted to step on him to make a name for themselves. Of course, they used the excuse of 'friendly' sparring.

Chen Lang, however, did not refuse any of them.

But almost everyone who sparred with him was defeated in one move.

In the last few days of the semester, the academy's infirmary became a lively place instead.

As one genius youth after another was carried away, this fervor gradually subsided.

With Chen Lang's current strength, he even possessed the qualifications to enter the Main Campus. But then again, to him, both the Main Campus and the Green Campus were the same.

The Academy couldn't bring him any greater changes; his purpose for being here was extremely simple: he was after Mu Ningxue.

Unknowingly, the end of the semester arrived...

"Classmate Chen Lang, are you really not going to reconsider? Entering the Main Campus will undoubtedly be more beneficial for your growth."

Homeroom teacher Zhao Qing found Chen Lang again. Chen Lang had met the requirements to enter the Main Campus, but he refused to go!

If it had nothing to do with him, he naturally wouldn't care.

But one must know that if Chen Lang could enter the Main Campus, he would also receive generous rewards.

Although Chen Lang wasn't educated by him, he was his student in this class.

"I'm not interested for now," Chen Lang shook his head and said again.

"The Main Campus has more resources. Although the competition is more intense, with your strength, Classmate Chen Lang, I believe you will definitely have a place," Zhao Qing still didn't want to give up and persuaded him again.

"Teacher Zhao, you don't need to waste your breath. I have no intention of entering the Main Campus for now."

"..."

Although Zhao Qing didn't want to give up, after being rejected once more, he finally understood that Chen Lang was determined.

He felt a little annoyed in his heart. Shouldn't this age be focused on improving cultivation?

How could he be so infatuated with women...

Even looking at Mu Ningxue now, he found her somewhat unappealing. But these were just thoughts in his mind; he naturally wouldn't show them.

Although they couldn't enter the Main Campus, they would definitely be able to enter the top class of the Green Campus together.

After Zhao Qing left, Mu Ningxue couldn't help but ask, "You can enter the Main Campus, so why do you want to stay in the Green Campus?"

Chen Lang said dismissively, "The resources in the Main Campus are indeed more abundant than in the Green Campus, but these resources are essentially dispensable to me."

Pearl Academy had the Three-Step Tower, and Imperial Capital Academy surely had special cultivation places as well.

But in fact, the Chen Clan also had places suitable for cultivation at each level. And the effects were definitely even stronger.

One must know that in this world, not all students come from Academies.

There were also quite a few who trained within their Families. And usually, those cultivated within the Family definitely surpassed the students from the Academies by a lot.

But then again, there were no absolutes, and there would always be a few who emerged from the Academies to achieve a rags-to-riches transformation.

Seeing Chen Lang say this, Mu Ningxue didn't try to persuade him further.

"Let's not talk about this. Have you considered what I told you before?" Chen Lang asked.

"You really... want to go with me?" Mu Ningxue asked back.

"Of course, I'm serious."

"..."

Regardless of what Mu Ningxue was thinking, the holiday arrived, and Chen Lang went with her to Bocheng.

As the two of them got out of the Bocheng station, he saw a middle-aged man and a driver waiting there.

Seeing Mu Ningxue emerge, he quickly stepped forward to greet his daughter.

Mu Zhuoyun also quickly noticed Chen Lang beside her and asked, "Ningxue, is this... your friend?"

To be honest, Mu Zhuoyun was slightly surprised.

This was the only person Mu Ningxue had brought back in her years at Imperial Capital Academy.

And it was a man!

Mu Ningxue glanced at Chen Lang and then said, "He's my classmate."

Chen Lang also took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, Uncle Mu. My name is Chen Lang, from the Bashu Chen Clan."

A classmate from Imperial Capital Academy was enough to make Mu Zhuoyun look highly upon him.

And upon hearing 'Bashu Chen Clan', his face showed an expression of both surprise and joy!

The Bashu Chen Clan!

That's a major aristocratic clan, on par with the main Mu Clan!

This isn't some 'classmate,' this is clearly a perfect son-in-law!

"..."

Mu Zhuoyun immediately put on a fawning expression and began showering Chen Lang with pleasantries.

Although Chen Lang knew the reason for this, he still maintained the respectful attitude of a junior.

This pleased Mu Zhuoyun greatly, and at the same time, he became even more certain of his own thoughts...

"Dad..." Mu Ningxue, standing beside them, couldn't bear to watch any longer and called out.

Mu Zhuoyun also snapped back to reality, realizing they were still at the train station with people coming and going.

"Virtuous Nephew, I was careless. Come, let's go home."

After a few exchanges of polite flattery, Mu Zhuoyun's address to Chen Lang directly changed to "Virtuous Nephew."

"Then I'll be imposing on you, Uncle Mu."

"Not at all, not at all."

As they spoke, Chen Lang got into the car with Mu Zhuoyun and his daughter.

About ten minutes later, they stopped outside a rather 'grand' mountain villa.

Hmm, maybe about a tenth of the size of the Chen Clan's estate in the Imperial Capital?

Upon entering the estate, Chen Lang noticed it was decorated with lanterns and streamers. It seemed there was a celebration.

Chen Lang naturally knew this wasn't entirely because Mu Ningxue had returned; there was also a sparring match scheduled for tomorrow.

Mu Zhuoyun led the way, proactively explaining, "Heh heh, Virtuous Nephew, you've arrived at a good time. Tomorrow, the younger generation will have a competition. Although it's certainly no match for you, if you're bored and want to pass the time, you could come and watch."

Chen Lang simply nodded.

To be honest, the so-called competition, in his opinion, was nothing more than beginner mages squabbling amongst themselves...

After showing Chen Lang around the Mu family estate and arranging for him to rest, Mu Zhuoyun eagerly began to question Mu Ningxue.

"Ningxue, this Young Master Chen, did he come with you..."

Seeing Mu Zhuoyun's predictable reaction, Mu Ningxue recounted everything that had happened between her and Chen Lang, excluding the matter of the Spirit Seed promotion.

As Mu Zhuoyun listened to Mu Ningxue's story, the smile he had worn, thinking he had found a perfect son-in-law, instantly vanished!

Because, from what Mu Ningxue was telling him, it sounded like Chen Lang wanted his precious daughter to be... his mistress!!

This was something no father could ever agree to.

Even though Mu Zhuoyun had some ambitions and had considered using his daughter to elevate the Mu family further.

What he had always envisioned was his daughter marrying into a good family!

Not for his precious daughter to become someone's kept woman
