Led by the three testing teachers, the group left the pointed-roof building and followed a path to the back of the school, soon entering a forest surrounding the school.
According to several teachers, the dean prefers quiet, so he spends most of his time alone in the forest. School affairs are usually handled by a few teachers, and the dean is only consulted on major matters.
Mentioning the principal, the teachers' eyes were filled with respect, and even a hint of admiration! Qi Ling noticed this and thought to herself, "It seems the Grandmaster has quite a few rivals in love!"
After walking for about ten minutes, as the group strolled through the fresh and quiet forest, a faint singing voice Youyou from ahead.
The singing was melodious and beautiful, yet it contained a sense of melancholy and loneliness, as if it were a lament, which made the listener feel sad.
The two who were walking at the front, the Grandmaster and Flender, had already stopped. Flender looked conflicted, while the Grandmaster was in tears, looking utterly lost.
Suddenly, the Grandmaster abruptly turned around and headed back the way he came. Flender grabbed him, shouting, " Yu Xiaogang! How long are you going to keep running away?! Do you plan to never see her again for the rest of your life?!"
" Flender, I knew it was you! You must have known all along, right?" The Grandmaster didn't turn around, and said directly, " Blue Tyrant, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, I should have known, this is her academy!"
Everyone watching the arguing couple was completely bewildered. They only saw the Grandmaster, caught in a dilemma, being pulled by Flender towards the direction from which the voice came.
The others followed the Grandmaster and Flender, but Qi Ling stayed behind, casually found a tree trunk, picked up a leaf, and lay down on it.
After all, what happened before was supposed to be the melodramatic scene of the Grandmaster and Liu Erlong recognizing each other, but this was a knot in the Grandmaster's heart that wasn't so easy to untie, and Qi Ling didn't want to see such a pathetic scene.
After a touching scene of lovers recognizing each other, Liu Erlong led the Grandmaster out. It seemed that even if she had to resort to violence, she would not let the Grandmaster escape this time.
Upon learning of what had happened to everyone that morning, Liu Erlong angrily declared that she would change the name of the academy to the Shrek Academy the next day and hand it over to Flender. She, the irresponsible dean, would officially step down from her post.
With a few casual words, she decided the fate of an advanced Soul Master Academy. Everyone now had a direct feel for just how generous and magnanimous this extraordinary woman was.
"Everyone, it's getting late. I think we should eat and talk." After emerging from the forest, Liu Erlong called out to everyone, "I've already asked Teacher Yin Shu to prepare food for you all at the school cafeteria. Please come with me."
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Liu Erlong seemed to have forgotten about the Grandmaster's presence, fully displaying her cheerful personality and warmly entertaining everyone.
"You're Qi Ling?" During the meal, Liu Erlong suddenly asked Qi Ling with great interest, "I heard you not only made a name for yourself at the Heaven Dou Academy, but you also just defeated three of our teachers?"
"How about it? Interested in a match with me? Let's compete in your strongest area, how about it?"
When Qi Ling saw Liu Erlong's eyes, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding. He was all too familiar with that look; it was the look of an extremely belligerent person.
As a member of the Golden Iron Triangle, Flender is known as the Flying Corner, the Grandmaster as the Wise Corner, and Liu Erlong as the Killing Corner! It's not hard to imagine how warlike she is.
Seeing Liu Erlong's serious expression, Qi Ling backed down and said with a smile, "Let's forget it. I think you should focus more on the Grandmaster."
Liu Erlong clearly didn't really intend to fight Qi Ling. After all, the gap between Soul Saint and Soul Elder was far too great, and besides, she was an elder like the Grandmaster. It would be too improper for her to fight a junior.
After finishing their meal, the Grandmaster called Tang San outside, and Qi Ling, sensing the opportune moment, followed the two out.
After Tang San's persuasion, the Grandmaster finally came to terms with things a bit, but the blood ties between them were an unchangeable fact, and the Grandmaster couldn't help but fall into deep sorrow.
Seeing the Grandmaster's pained expression, Qi Ling sighed, went out, and asked, " Grandmaster, is this relationship really so hard for you to let go?"
"It's Qi Ling," the Grandmaster said upon seeing Qi Ling. "You must have heard what Xiao San and I said, right?"
"My feelings for Erlong are undoubtedly genuine. If I could let go so easily, I wouldn't have suffered for so many years," the Grandmaster said.
"But brother and sister marrying is a grave taboo in human relations. How can we do such a thing! Erlong will never find happiness this way!"
"Then, Grandmaster, as long as you two are no longer siblings, is that enough?" Qi Ling said.
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, the Grandmaster clearly did not understand his meaning and asked in confusion, " Qi Ling, what are you talking about? Erlong and I are siblings; it's our destiny, predetermined from birth. How can it be changed?"
" Grandmaster, please believe me. If I say it's possible, then it's possible!" Qi Ling looked into the Grandmaster's eyes and said, "It just depends on Grandmaster you're prepared to risk your life!"
Seeing Qi Ling's earnest gaze, for some reason, even though it seemed like a fantasy, the Grandmaster believed it. He resolutely said, "If it could really be done, I would be willing to risk my life, even if it meant dying after just one second of loving Erlong!"
"Excellent! Grandmaster, you truly are a passionate soul!" Qi Ling laughed. "In that case, this thing is perfect for you!"
As she spoke, Qi Ling took out a white jade plate from her person and handed it to the Grandmaster.
This is the Seven-Treasure White Jade Wheel that Qi Ling obtained before. On its white jade wheel, there are seven unique treasures, making it look extremely luxurious.
This Seven-Treasure White Jade Wheel has only one effect: to defy fate! It can change a person's destiny, making things predetermined from birth cease to exist!
Yes, the moment Qi Ling saw this item, she decided to use it on the Grandmaster to change Grandmaster tragic fate!
It is such a tragic thing that people in love, even if they can disregard the opinions of the world, cannot be together in their lifetime, let alone have children of their own!
So when Qi Ling realized he had a chance to change this tragedy, he didn't consider what benefits he could gain; he only wanted to save the Grandmaster and Liu Erlong.
