Taking the Child to the Academy
"Does the Demon Willow Academy possess any time-manipulation treasures with a time flow rate of 1:300?" Lu Zhengran asked again.
Just as Xiao Qingyi was about to say that Lu Zixuan was about to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, he was interrupted by another question from Lu Zhengran.
Hearing the question and seeing the expectant look on Lu Zhengran's face, he nodded. "Yes."
"This!!"
Lu Zhengran took a deep breath.
I never imagined my sister wasn't lying about this!
Such a powerful treasure truly exists!
"So, did you find a way to let my sister use those treasures freely, senior?" Lu Zhengran thought to himself, "Those treasures must have some restrictions on their use, right?"
However, looking at Xiao Qingyi, he felt uneasy again.
If the Eternal Night Demon Emperor were to personally intervene, it shouldn't be difficult for his sister to use that treasure at will.
"Of course, you can use it as you please," Xiao Qingyi said with a smile.
"Oh, this..."
Lu Zhengran gave a wry smile.
Could it be that, apart from lying about his cultivation level, his sister hadn't lied to him about anything else?!
No, no!
A time-manipulating artifact that can freely use time at such a speed shouldn't have such a slow cultivation rate!
Is it due to a lack of talent?
Rapid cultivation can easily lead to an unstable foundation?
Their talents don't match up either! The older sister has always been exceptionally talented.
Moreover, drinking tea made from the leaves of the Demon God Mother Tree can continuously improve one's talent!
Oh, and there's also a comprehension bonus!
"By the way, senior, my sister said there's a tree here that can increase one's comprehension dozens of times over. Is that true? Could it be that Demon God Mother Tree...?"
Xiao Qingyi nodded. "That's right, you can go and experience it for yourself."
Lu Zhengran swallowed hard, nodded quickly, and walked out.
After Lu Zhengran left the house, Xiao Qingyi looked at Lu Qing'an and said, "Your son seems a bit naive."
By using the word "simple," he was giving Lu Qing'an face.
Lu Qing'an shook his head and sighed.
"I wonder who he took after..."
He considered himself quite clever; many Old Devil couldn't outsmart him when they tried to use underhanded tactics.
When his son initially showed signs of mental dullness, he tested his son's bloodline and confirmed that his blood was indeed flowing in his veins.
Xu Xuanyu fell silent for a moment.
Brother-in-law, please stop talking...
Who can I take after...?
He thought of his eldest sister and sighed inwardly.
The son takes after his older sister, and the two daughters take after their brother-in-law.
"You're cunning. Trick this kid a bit more in the future, let him know how treacherous society can be." Lu Qing'an looked at Xiao Qingyi and said calmly.
As a father, he shouldn't do such a thing; he might make his child hate him to death.
Everyone else is fine, so go ahead and cause trouble.
Experiencing more things will allow you to accumulate more experience in the future.
"Ahem, you said it!" Xiao Qingyi's biggest fear is loneliness and having no one to talk to.
Now that Lu Qing'an's son has arrived, there's more work to be done.
Lu Qing'an acquiesced.
Not long after.
Lu Zhengran walked back into the house in a daze.
That's a tenfold increase in comprehension!
Just by standing there, change occurs!
Wow... the conditions here are so good!!!
He always felt that he was among the best in the Immortal Ruins.
Unexpectedly, when compared here, it's like heaven and earth!
Mother... I'm starting to think about coming here!
But as soon as he had this thought, he quickly shook his head.
His mother treats him so well, even though the resources she provides can't compare to those here, he can't just be fickle like this...
"Father, when does my sister usually come back from the academy?"
Lu Zhengran took a deep breath, steadied himself, and reaffirmed his resolve.
He came here mainly to visit his relatives, stay for a while, and then return to the Immortal Ruins.
Lu Qing'an said, "I usually come back in the evening."
"That'll be quite a while..."
"You really want to see your sister? If it's really impossible, your uncle will take you to the academy for a stroll later," Xu Xuanyu said with a smile.
"Really? Uncle is so kind!!" Lu Zhengran's eyes lit up.
If he could actually visit the Demon Willow Academy, he could compare the academies in the Demon Domain Realm with the Green Mountain Academy in their Immortal Ruins!
"Brother-in-law, what do you think?" Xu Xuanyu asked Lu Qing'an before making a decision.
Lu Qing'an nodded calmly.
"Haha! When shall we set off?" Lu Zhengran asked excitedly when he saw that his father had also agreed.
Xu Xuanyu was about to say that they could leave now, but Lu Qing'an suddenly interrupted them.
"Wait a moment, Little Xuanzi is here. Let the two of them get to know each other first."
He sensed that Li Cangxuan was approaching.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure flew down into the courtyard.
Seeing this, Xu Xuanyu sat back down in his seat.
He was well aware of Li Cangxuan's place in Lu Qing'an's heart.
He was practically like a son to him.
This is to let Lu Zhengran get to know this older brother.
"Little Xuanzi? Father, who is this Little Xuanzi?" Lu Zhengran asked in confusion.
Lu Qing'an was about to say that it was his apprentice, but before he could speak, Xiao Qingyi quickly interjected, "Ahem, it's my apprentice."
"Your disciple?! That! That's none other than the Demon Domain Demon Emperor Dugu!!" Lu Zhengran had obviously heard of Li Cangxuan's reputation, and a strong sense of anticipation rose on his still somewhat immature face.
I never expected to meet such a powerful senior expert so soon after arriving here!
"Haha, that's right!" Xiao Qingyi nodded with a smile, stealing a glance at Lu Qing'an. Seeing Lu Qing'an secretly shaking his head, he couldn't help but feel amused.
You asked me to tease your son? Then I'll use every trick in the book to let your son experience the harsh realities of society.
Li Cangxuan entered the house.
"Master! Are you there?"
He was beaming with joy as he jogged into the house, his voice becoming more relaxed and free of his social anxiety.
Clearly, Lu Qing'an's desensitization treatment of Li Cangxuan has been somewhat effective during this period.
Of course, it's also possible that Li Cangxuan was too happy to care about anything else.
Upon entering the house, Li Cangxuan noticed an extra young man, but he didn't pay much attention to him and quickly looked at Lu Qing'an.
"Division..."
"Disciple!! Hahaha! What brings you here?!"
Xiao Qingyi flashed to Li Cangxuan's Li Cangxuan and gave him a bear hug.
Li Cangxuan: "???"
Elder Xiao, are you getting senile?
I'm not your apprentice!
"Master..." Li Cangxuan looked at Lu Qing'an, about to ask what was going on, when Xiao Qingyi's voice transmission rang in his mind.
"Little Xuanzi, see that child? He's your master's own son. Your master and I are just teasing him, saying I'm the Eternal Night Demon Emperor. Play along! Teasing this silly boy!"
The joy on Li Cangxuan's face instantly vanished by more than half.
Master's own son?!
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Zhengran.
Upon closer inspection, one could indeed see the shadow of his master in Lu Zhengran's somewhat youthful face.
He's really my own son!!
He pursed his lips, a strange feeling stirring within him.
