Su Chen looked slightly embarrassed, because he knew he was the culprit behind all of this. To avoid getting too involved in the topic, he quickly said, "Mother, don't worry, I will manage Yingtian Academy well."
Qin An shook his head and smiled, finally saying, "Mother believes in you."
Su Chen smiled and then asked, "Mother, could you tell me about the layout of the Yingtian Academy and who is vying for your position as dean? I'll be prepared."
Qin An nodded and said, " Yingtian Academy has five academies: Literary Institute, Formation Institute, Alchemy Institute, Artifact Institute, and Martial Institute. These academies are designed to provide the academy's disciples with more diverse growth paths and development directions. Each of these academies has a vice dean in charge. The one who covets your mother's position is the vice dean of the Martial Institute."
Su Chen suddenly asked, "What's his name?"
Qin An replied, " Long Qingcang!"
Su Chen continued, "How strong are you?"
Qin An said, " Late-stage Immortal Emperor."
Su Chen smiled wryly, "Mother, you really think highly of me."
Qin An laughed and said, "I heard from Qingwu that you are very strong."
Su Chen asked helplessly, "Did she tell you?"
Qin An smiled and said, "She only told me that you are very strong and that the academy can be entrusted to you with peace of mind. As for how strong you are, she didn't tell me."
At this point, she changed the subject, " Chen'er, tell your mother the truth, what realm are you at now?"
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "I only recently broke through to the Immortal Emperor."
Qin An stared at Su Chen without saying a word.
Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine. "What's wrong?"
Qin An shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little hard to believe. After all, Chen'er, you're not even two hundred years old yet, and you've already broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm. If word got out, wouldn't it scare people to death?"
Su Chen said, "It's alright."
"That's all?"
Qin An shook his head and smiled, "Do you know that from ancient times to the present, no one has ever been able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm before the age of two hundred?"
Su Chen remained silent. To be honest, he was a little nervous. He was afraid Qin An would ask why, and what would he say then? He couldn't very well say he had a system, could he?
Qin An smiled slightly. "Everyone has their own secrets. Your mother knows what she's doing and won't ask you these questions."
Su Chen smiled, finally relieved. "Thank you, Mother."
Qin An reached out and patted the leaf on Su Chen's shoulder, saying softly, "Silly child, why are you thanking your mother?"
Su Chen smiled slightly, a warm feeling welling up in his heart, a warmth that swept over him like a tide.
Perhaps, this is what family love is?
Qin An suddenly said, "It seems that Long Qingcang has also joined forces with other vice deans. You'd better be careful."
Su Chen frowned and asked, "Mother, how dare these vice-deans?"
Qin An smiled helplessly, "Perhaps it's because your mother was too gentle with me at the academy, which caused them to increasingly disregard me."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them, but it vanished in an instant. He asked, "Then, Mother, is there no one in the academy I can trust?"
Qin An smiled and said, "Of course."
Su Chen asked, "Who?"
Qin An said, " Xue Ya, the vice dean of the Literary Institute."
Su Chen asked curiously, "Is this person trustworthy?"
Qin An said, "Of course, this little fellow is the first disciple I ever took on."
"Oh?"
Su Chen asked with some surprise, "Mother, how many disciples do you have?"
Qin An smiled slightly, " Xue Ya and your fiancée are gone."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
Qin An's lips curled slightly as she looked at Su Chen, "Let me tell you, Xue Ya is such a beautiful girl..."
Hearing this, Su Chen felt a headache coming on and quickly said, "Stop!"
Qin An paused.
Su Chen said helplessly, "Mother, I know what you're thinking, but I already have two fiancées!"
Qin An said, "One more won't make a difference."
Su Chen said, "Then it's alright for Father to find another one, right?"
Qin An opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent, looking at Su Chen with a hint of resentment.
Su Chen smiled wryly, "Mother, I already have two fiancées. If you ask me to find another, even if I want to, I don't have the ability!"
Qin An shook his head and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, when you go to the academy this time, you can first go to Xue Ya to find out about the current situation of the academy."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
Qin An then extended her right hand, palm open, and with a thought, a golden token floated in her palm.
The token is golden in color, shimmering with mysterious light, and has the word "yuan" carved in the middle. This word seems to contain a profound mystery that is elusive.
Su Chen glanced at the token and asked, "What's this?"
Qin An explained, "This is the Academy Master's Token. With this token, you will be the Dean of the Yingtian Academy from now on."
As she spoke, she handed the Academy Master's Token directly to Su Chen.
Su Chen dared not refuse, and reluctantly accepted the token, then said, "Mother, I never intended to take over Yingtian Academy."
Qin An said, "You can give me the token after your younger brother is born."
Su Chen's eyes lit up. "In that case, I'll take over managing Yingtian Academy for Mother for now."
Qin An sighed softly, "You silly child, do you know how many people want this position?"
Su Chen said, "This has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I don't want to do it. I just want to live a carefree life."
Qin An thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, Mother just feels that it's better for a man to have ambition, but since you don't want to be like that, Mother respects you. Actually, Mother also hopes you can be more free and not be bound by too many things."
Su Chen said, "I don't know what good deeds my father did in his past life to be able to marry a wife like my mother. He really got a good deal."
Qin An smiled slightly, "Mother likes to hear that."
Su Chen smiled, then seemed to remember something and asked, "Which hospital is my fiancée in now?"
Qin An asked, "You mean that girl Youyue?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Mm."
Qin An smiled and said, " Youyue didn't enter any courtyard; she's been cultivating by my side the whole time."
Su Chen suddenly realized, "I understand."
Qin An said, " Youyue has quite a few suitors at the academy."
Su Chen calmly asked, "And then?"
Qin An smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, the news that you are now Youyue's fiancé has already spread throughout the academy."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's heart sank. "How did this news get out?"
Qin An smiled but remained silent.
Su Chen's face immediately darkened.
He understood.
It must have been Qin An who spread this news!
Su Chen said helplessly, "Mother, you're pushing your son into a fire pit, you know that? Besides, we haven't even met You Youyue yet, what if she doesn't like me?"
