Xiao Yan asked Hu Jia somewhat timidly, "Little sister Hu Jia, in two days I'll be heading back to the Inner Academy with the top fifty students. What will you do then, Your Excellency?"
"Hehe... Brother Xiao Yan, I already asked my grandfather about that. He said I could do as I pleased. So, I'm planning to go to the Inner Academy with you. You have to take good care of me from now on, okay? You're not allowed to bully me," Hu Jia said in a coy, sugary voice.

My grandfather never said I couldn't enter the Inner Academy. Besides, what's wrong with an Inner Academy elder bringing a family member in? Do you not want me anymore? Are you sick of me? Boohoo..."
Seeing Hu Jia start to cry, Xiao Yan forgot all about the pain in his ear and hurriedly hugged her to comfort her. "My dear auntie, how could I possibly not want you or dislike you? I can't even love you enough. Don't overthink it. I just don't know the Inner Academy's rules. If I'd known I could bring someone in, I would definitely have taken you with me. Don't cry now. Be good, okay? I'll definitely take you along. You're my good wife. How could I leave you behind?"
Hearing that Xiao Yan would take her in, Hu Jia smiled, though
