I'm My Brother-in-Law's Son

Xiong Zhong and the others felt as if they had been hit hard on the head with an electric treasure; they were dizzy, sluggish, and a little numb.

Their knowledge of the Demon God Mother Tree's leaves was based on individual pieces; whenever they heard someone obtain Demon God Mother Tree leaf, they would only mention how many pieces they had obtained.

Now, Li Qingchen claims it's only three taels!

In units of two!

Is this still the unit of measurement in their understanding of the world?!

"You, you're not bragging, are you!" The effeminate man was now not only doubting whether Li Qingchen had boasted about the Demon God Mother Tree Leaf, but also beginning to doubt whether Li Qingchen had actually met the Eternal Night Demon Emperor.

However, the moment he raised his question, Xiong Zhong knelt down before Li Qingchen!

"Brother Li! You are my very, very best Brother Li! Could you sell me two pieces?! Just two pieces! In half a month, our ancestor will celebrate his 80,000th birthday. If I give him two pieces, I'll be the coolest guy in the entire sect!!"

Xiong Zhong completely trusted Li Qingchen.

Because he personally witnessed the Eternal Night Demon Emperor helping Li Qingchen's master cultivate the Heavenly Devil Physique that day.

The fact that Li Qingchen was able to take out a leaf to make tea for them means that there really are quite a few Demon God Mother Tree leaves.

Seeing Xiong Zhong like this, the other four couldn't help but have a sudden thought.

"Brother Xiong, do you really believe it?" the effeminate man asked.

Xiong Zhong ignored the man, grabbed Li Qingchen's thigh, and said, "Brother Li, I beg you!"

Li Qingchen laughed and said, "Fine, given our relationship, I can sell you off."

"Haha! Thank you so much, Brother Li!!"

Xiong Zhong wished he could kowtow to Li Qingchen several times.

At this moment, Li Qingchen took out two leaves and handed them to Xiong Zhong.

The four people nearby were stunned by what they saw.

No!

Really?!

After the five people were shocked, the effeminate man looked at Li Qingchen with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Brother Li, tell me, what exactly did you do to obtain so many Demon God Mother Tree Leaves from the Eternal Night Demon Emperor? I'll have to learn from him when I see them again!"

When asked about this, Li Qingchen thought about it carefully for a moment, then stared intently at the effeminate man with a very deep gaze. "Strictly speaking, these Demon God Mother Tree leaves were obtained by my kneeling."

Upon hearing this, the four effeminate men froze in place, while Xiong Zhong a wry smile.

He really did get it by kneeling...

It was the middle of the night.

The blue-brick courtyard was bathed in moonlight, and the shadows of the Demon God Mother Tree's branches slanted up the mottled walls.

A lantern swayed gently under the eaves, and in its dim yellow light, a few fireflies flickered on and off.

Looking up, I saw the Milky Way, clear and shallow, with a few stars hanging from the eaves, seemingly within reach.

Dao of Alchemy Master imparted his lifelong alchemy skills to Xu Xuanyu in front of the stone pavilion.

It was transmitted to Xu Xuanyu in the form of a special Devil Cultivation Method, which was then stored in his memory.

"Disciple! This is the culmination of my alchemy skills over many years. Spend some time mastering it, and then you can try to refine pills yourself. If you encounter any problems, come and ask me." Dao of Alchemy Master instructed patiently.

Xu Xuanyu nodded repeatedly, expressing his gratitude. "Thank you very much for imparting your teachings, Master!"

Dao of Alchemy Master nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Lu Qing'an: "If this kid could go to the Demon Willow Academy and digest this knowledge within its treasured artifacts, he should be able to master it more quickly."

Lu Qing'an said, "I will make the arrangements. I will take him to the Demon Willow Academy tomorrow."

Xu Xuanyu swallowed hard. "Brother-in-law, can I also go to the Demon Willow Academy to cultivate?"

"That old bastard Liu Xiyue, the dean of the Demon Willow Academy, has disappeared for quite some time again. He hasn't returned to the academy. I'll just go find their vice dean to make arrangements." Lu Qing'an still hadn't received any news from Xiao Qingyi's little apprentice, which meant that Liu Xiyue hadn't been at the academy recently. It was highly likely that he had obtained a special boost from that iron ball last time and had gone into seclusion to improve.

"You can absorb this knowledge of alchemy while cultivating. After you break through to the Emperor Realm, I will help you improve just like I helped your sister, and strive to break through to the Late Great Emperor Realm soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanyu's heart nearly leaped out of his chest. "Okay! Thank you, brother-in-law!!"

"I've made it clear, you take revenge yourself. Focus on your cultivation; Huangfu Qi is no simple man," Lu Qing'an said.

Xu Xuanyu nodded emphatically.

"Uh-huh!"

The night passed in silence.

The next morning.

Morning dew adorns the green steps, tree shadows lie against the east wall.

Lu Qing'an entered Xue Tianfei's room and woke up Lu Miaomiao, who was curled up in Xue Tianfei's arms.

He personally led the children to the academy today.

"Miaomiao, you're awake."

"Father..." Lu Miaomiao opened her sleepy eyes and called out softly.

After the child finished dressing, Lu Qing'an carried Lu Miaomiao on his shoulders and left the courtyard.

Xue Tianfei insisted on going along as well, walking with Lu Zixuan and Sun Minzi.

Xu Xuanyu, his face beaming with excitement, followed beside Xu Yunyi.

And so, the group left the courtyard and arrived at the academy via teleportation.

"Alright, kids, go to class. I'll take your uncle to register."

"Okay! Daddy, I'm going to find Instructor Bai now!"

"Father, then Minzi and I will go to school too."

Lu Qing'an nodded, watching the three children walk away.

Seeing that the children no longer depended on him, his face was full of pride.

"Alright, let's go find Lu Qingxu."

Lu Qing'an led Xu Xuanyu to the vice dean's office area of the Demon Willow Academy.

Lu Qingxu was holding a morning meeting with a group of academy heads and high-ranking instructors when he suddenly noticed several figures outside and frowned.

Who is it?

The other hall masters and teachers also looked towards the door.

When Lu Qingxu saw Lu Qing'an, he was startled. Just a moment ago, he had a serious expression and a leader-like demeanor, but he quickly put on a fawning smile and ran out.

"What brings you here?!"

Lu Qing'an glanced inside and said, "In a meeting?"

"Yes! But since you've arrived, we'll pause for now!" Lu Qingxu said with a smile.

"Alright, do me a favor: register this kid for your academy and let him cultivate under the Time-Reversing Demon Willow." Lu Qing'an transmitted his voice to Lu Qingxu.

Lu Qingxu looked at Xu Xuanyu: "Is this yours?"

"My son," Lu Qing'an said casually.

Last time, they referred to Xu Yunyi as their daughter, so this time they don't care if they say Xu Xuanyu is their son.

"Oh! We must arrange this!!" Lu Qingxu exclaimed.

"Okay, I'll wait here for you for a while. You go ahead and do what you need to do."

"Can!"

Lu Qingxu quickly turned back to the group of hall masters and instructors, and said in a deep voice, "Wait here, I'll be back later!"

A group of hall masters and instructors were all swallowing hard.

They had just been wondering who could have caused such a change in attitude from their Vice Dean Lu Qingxu, but when they saw who it was, they were all dumbfounded.

Isn't that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!

Xue Tianfei is here too!!

Subsequently, Lu Qingxu quickly led Lu Qing'an and the others to register and create identity tokens.

Xue Tianfei then handed Lu Qingxu another 100 million Supreme-Grade Demon Crystal: "That should be enough to fill your Demon Willow Points, right?"

"That's enough! Of course it's enough!" Lu Qingxu laughed.

Quickly fill Xu Xuanyu's identity token with Demon Willow Points.

"From now on, you can use this token freely to access that time-traveling artifact."

Lu Qingxu looked at Xu Xuanyu Xu Xuanyu a kind smile and handed him the identity token.

"Okay! Thank you so much, senior!"

"You're welcome! This child is so well-behaved. No wonder he's your child," Lu Qingxu said with a smile.

Xu Xuanyu was stunned upon hearing this.

"Ah?"

Am I my brother-in-law's child?!
