Simp Feng Xiaotian, Under Control

Heaven Dou Empire, Blazing Fire Academy, one of the Five Element Academies.

After the Continental Spirit Master Elite Tournament ended.

Most of this generation's students had completed their training and graduated. Quite a few had left the academy to make their way across the continent.

But those like Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, who had lived at Blazing Fire Academy since childhood, did not leave immediately.

Instead, they temporarily remained at the academy to contribute what they could to its recruitment efforts.

After experiencing defeat, Huo Wu had reined in some of her aggressive bearing.

Dressed in a fiery red battle skirt, with neat short red hair and a small, delicate oval face, she looked somewhat cute.

A faint flame mark was etched upon her forehead, adding...

Qiu Ganshen and Tian Niangzi exchanged glances, both revealing delighted expressions. Since they had summoned him in the name of an "invitation," there was room for negotiation. Qiu Ganshen hurriedly had the servants help him straighten his clothes and headwear, gave Tian Niangzi a few instructions, then left and followed the yamen runner toward Shanchun Hall.

Yin Niangzi opened the box and took out the porcelain bottle containing Ginger Meridian-Opening Oil. She first uncorked it and took a sniff. It was still that crisp, spicy fragrance. She closed her eyes in enjoyment, letting the distinctive botanical scent flow through every part of her body as she felt a warm heat rise within her.

Thinking of how Mother had been screaming miserably from the moment she was poisoned yesterday until this morning, he could only imagine how much pain she was in. His heart ached, and he hated Li Beiwang's viciousness even more.

Seated there, Zuo Bin slowly withdrew his fingers from the fur material. With his eyes closed, he raised his face.

"Use talismans." Qin Ruixi's crisp voice rang out. Yi Yu and the others, exhausted from evading attacks, immediately perked up, though they felt a little pained.

Chang Lan carried her all the way to the Alchemy Room, then casually waved her hand. With a swish, a scorching wave of heat rushed toward them. Looking closely, she saw a massive alchemy furnace placed in the center ahead, its flames blazing fiercely within.

He felt that people of that sort could not hold on to assets beyond their understanding. And now, he was the nouveau riche in other people's eyes.

Judging from this alone, the strength of her cultivation meant she could even stand on equal footing with the elders of Heavenly Star Academy. Thus, she could enter and leave Heavenly Star Academy as she pleased.

"But who is she? And whose child is that?" Madam Jiang asked Tianyin and Hua Duo with a strange look.

She had always been insecure and sensitive by nature. Though she had become much more clear-minded and carefree than before, her outlook had also become more pessimistic and realistic.

Jiang Guangguang had already locked the door by then. Without saying goodbye, she left directly. Though a fine drizzle was falling, she did not even go back inside to get an umbrella.

Hua Jitian noticed it. At first, Yuan Qingcheng had been keeping pace with the other two team leaders, but gradually, he fell half a step behind. It was merely the difference of one lifted foot, and not obvious at a glance.

"How is that possible?" Xu Leyong had only just woken up groggily. When he saw this scene, his eyes nearly rolled back as he almost fainted on the spot.

Yan Jue communicated with her through his eyes: Are you going or not? If not, I'm leaving. I'm not staying here with you. He then lowered his legs, looking ready to leave at any moment.

Mo Yishen was the first to break the awkward silence. He continued wandering around with Yan You, his expression already restored to normal.

"My place is still being renovated, so there's no rush. Since Aunt Chang wants this, bring her mother over. Just clear out that room on the first floor for them to stay in. Dad, what else is it?" Shuishui felt there had to be something else, or he would not have worn that hesitant expression.

My vision went dark for a while. When I recovered, I found that I could see much more clearly than before.

"It's fine. It's fine for you to stay here." The old man did not avoid the subject. Besides, his grandson knew more than the others, and having him in the room could ease the atmosphere somewhat.

Ning Fan shouted as well. Those words were indeed effective, instantly stunning Mu Bing into silence. She decisively shut her mouth, but her murderous gaze had already stabbed Ning Fan full of holes in her heart.
