Qin Keyi descended the mountain, little actress Feng Chu, and the Dean wanted a new office

At those words, Qin Keyi looked toward the newcomer, rose slightly, and bowed. "So it's Senior Brother Lu. What brings you here?"

Lu Xiuwen smiled faintly. "I was passing by and sensed your presence, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect you to have just made a breakthrough. Congratulations."

Qin Keyi's delicate brows knitted slightly, and a trace of wariness rose in her heart. She barely knew this Senior Brother Lu Xiuwen, and his sudden appearance here surprised her.

"If there's nothing else, Senior Brother Lu, I'll take my leave."

With that, Qin Keyi turned to leave. She did not want to have too much to do with this Senior Brother Lu Xiuwen.

Seeing this, disappointment flashed through Lu Xiuwen's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Don't rush off, Junior Sister Qin. I do have a reason for coming, and it concerns the Four Great Bandits' siege of Falling Moon."

Qin Keyi stopped in her tracks and hurriedly turned back to ask, "You're saying Falling Moon City was besieged by the Four Great Bandits? How is it now? What about my father and little sister?"

Lu Xiuwen raised both hands slightly, signaling her not to panic. "Don't worry, Junior Sister Qin. Falling Moon City is safe. King Qin single-handedly protected all the people of Falling Moon. It was truly a great accomplishment."

Only then did Qin Keyi's anxiety ease a little.

Yet Lu Xiuwen's next words made her heart tighten again.

"However, King Qin was also gravely injured. Though he survived, there's no telling when he'll wake up."

Qin Keyi pressed her lips together and thanked Lu Xiuwen once more. "Thank you for telling me, Senior Brother Lu. I'll speak to Master right away and ask permission to return home."

Lu Xiuwen pondered briefly, then frowned. "You know what Master is like. I remember that on the day you became his disciple, he told you that you could only descend the mountain after reaching the Grandmaster Realm. You've only just advanced a minor realm. Going to him rashly now will surely displease him."

Qin Keyi frowned. Her rigid master had indeed said that, leaving her at a loss for the moment.

Lu Xiuwen continued, "How about this? I'll accept a sect mission and tell Master I'm taking you outside the sect to gain experience and seek an opportunity to break through. If it concerns cultivation, I believe Master won't put up too much resistance."

A touch of joy appeared on Qin Keyi's exquisite face, leaving Lu Xiuwen momentarily spellbound. She really is a peerless beauty.

Naturally, he had not made this suggestion merely to tell Qin Keyi about Falling Moon. His main purpose was to meet the husband she had spoken of.

Qin Keyi's face and figure were both flawless. The moment she entered the sect, she won the admiration of countless fellow disciples and attracted plenty of suitors.

But she had declared then and there that she was already married and wished only to pursue martial arts, with no interest in romantic entanglements.

As one of Qin Keyi's suitors, Lu Xiuwen was naturally curious. What did the husband of such an exceptional woman look like? And what realm had he reached?

When Yun Che returned to his little courtyard, a soft, adorable little girl naturally came rushing into his arms.

"Master, you're finally back."

If anyone in this world cared about him most, it was undoubtedly little Feng Chu right before him.

Yun Che gently patted her back, reassuring her that he really was fine and had truly returned.

Who would have thought that in less than thirty seconds, little Feng Chu would already be asleep in his arms, sleeping so peacefully and without the slightest guard?

"She must really be exhausted to fall asleep like this."

Yun Che shook his head slightly, scooped her up, and carried her toward the house.

He failed to notice that the corners of little Young Phoenix's mouth had curled up slightly as she nestled in his arms.

Clearly, beneath her sweet, adorable appearance, little Young Phoenix was also a troublesome little actress.

Of course, she really had spent the entire night worrying about Yun Che.

It was nearly dawn by then, and Yun Che's sleep schedule was thrown off again. He slept until noon.

The meal Feng Chu had prepared sat on the table, while Feng Chu practiced outside in the courtyard.

Amu, the inept sweeping monk, swept while studying the Greenwood Art, already managing to do both at once.

The Greenwood Art was only the most basic cultivation technique. Even with his low-grade martial root, Amu had now sensed some fluctuations of spiritual energy and was trying to draw it into his body.

What even Yun Che did not know, however, was that Amu, the inept sweeping monk, had discovered a little bug in himself.

He felt that studying the Greenwood Art while sweeping made his progress astonishingly fast.

Had Yun Che known, he would certainly have cried out in surprise. Even a blockhead like you can awaken a talent, and it seems to be an incredibly awesome one!

After breakfast, Yun Che tucked his humanities and history books under his arm and headed toward Class Nine's classroom.

Before leaving, he also took the opportunity to make a grab at little Young Phoenix and Amu.

"Ding! Successful grab. Congratulations on obtaining a top-grade technique, Demonflame Heart Sutra."

"Ding! Successful grab. Congratulations on obtaining 2 experience points."

A smile curved Yun Che's lips. Although he still had not managed to grab little Young Phoenix's peerless martial root, he had at least obtained the Demonflame Heart Sutra. Now he could play with fire.

He walked slowly, trying not to miss a single student or instructor he encountered. He continually used Divine Hand to make grabs, and his experience points and five main attributes kept increasing, quickly yet gradually.

Half an hour later, Yun Che arrived at Class Nine's classroom. To his astonishment, the usually empty room was now packed. Even the aisles and the back were filled with people standing.

Yun Che paused briefly, then smiled. "With you all like this, I can't even get to the podium."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students standing in the aisle hurriedly squeezed backward, finally leaving a path just wide enough for one person.

Yun Che shook his head helplessly and walked to the podium under the students' fervent, reverent gazes to begin teaching.

Naturally, the result raised everyone's admiration for Instructor Yun to new heights yet again.

This time, a full fourteen students broke through simultaneously. The astonishing sight was enough to overwhelm everyone's senses.

In Academic Director Ding Man's office, Ye Qingshuang stood beside the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Yun Che at Class Nine's podium and the fourteen students in the midst of their breakthroughs.

Although she had long heard of the wonders of Yun Che's lectures, seeing it firsthand still left her incredulous.

"He really can... make students break through with nothing but a humanities and history class!"

After a moment's thought, Ye Qingshuang addressed Director Ding, who stood behind her wearing a fawning expression. "Send out the notice. Have Instructor Yun teach martial arts classes directly, and raise his compensation to the highest tier."

She paused briefly, then added beneath Director Ding's horrified gaze, "Also, have all the instructors come to the meeting room after class. I intend to appoint Instructor Yun as the academy's new Vice Dean."

Before Ding Man could recover from his shock, Ye Qingshuang spoke again. "Go move everything from my office here. I'll be working here from now on."

At that, Ding Man was overjoyed. Being able to see the enchantingly beautiful Dean every day would be a pleasure in itself!

A little bashfully, he said, "Yes, I'll get right to it. It's an honor to share an office with you, Dean."

Ye Qingshuang raised a brow slightly and said, emphasizing every word, "I mean that this will be my private office from now on. Mine alone."

Ding Man's ecstatic expression abruptly froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched awkwardly twice.

Well! He had simply gotten carried away.
