Xue Tianfei's performance surprised both Lu Qing'an and Xiao Qingyi.

"Alright, Miaomiao, Zixuan, come with Aunt Xue. I've prepared some things for you; you should be able to use them when you get to the Demon Willow Academy."

After accepting Lu Qing'an's praise, Xue Tianfei smiled and then did not continue to dwell on the topic. Instead, she gently took the hands of Lu Qing'an's two daughters and walked towards her room.

It's like an elder preparing a surprise gift to celebrate their child getting into a good university.

Xiao Qingyi stepped forward and gently nudged Lu Qing'an with his hand.

"Goodness, is that really the Xue Tianfei we know? She really does have the air of a virtuous wife and mother now."

Lu Qing'an glanced at Xiao Qingyi but didn't say anything.

Xue Tianfei's performance just now truly amazed him.

If it were the old Xue Tianfei, she would definitely have made some excessive demands, forcing them to advance their relationship.

If Xue Tianfei really made such a request, he would probably still just want to keep a great distance from Xue Tianfei, just like before.

But now that Xue Tianfei is like this, he looks at Xue Tianfei in a different light.

"Looking at you like that, haha, I get it. As expected of Xue Tianfei, amazing!" Xiao Qingyi laughed.

Lu Qing'an glanced at Xiao Qingyi: "Nothing to do? Let's have a drink."

"Alright, let's go!"

It was late at night.

The chirping of crickets echoed rhythmically all around the yard.

Inside a room.

Lu Zixuan looked at Lu Miaomiao, who was lying on the small bed next to her in a starfish position, and whispered, "Miaomiao, are you asleep?"

Lu Miaomiao, who had been lying motionless like a corpse, suddenly jumped and turned to her side.

No, what's wrong, sister?

Lu Zixuan said speechlessly, "I thought you were asleep. Were you thinking about something just now?"

"No..." Lu Miaomiao couldn't hide her thoughts, and her eyes darted around as she lied.

"You seem to really like Aunt Xue. Is it really just because Aunt Xue gives you delicious food?" Lu Zixuan asked.

She knew very well that her younger sister had developed the ability to think for herself.

When she was about the same age as her younger sister, she already understood many things.

Lu Miaomiao then secretly glanced at the small bracelet on her wrist, a gift that Xue Tianfei had given her not long ago.

It contains the Heaven and Earth Ice Essence; anything placed inside will be instantly frozen. There is also an area for storing items, preventing food from spoiling.

Most importantly, her name is engraved on the bracelet!

"I feel that Aunt Xue is just as good to me as Daddy, even better than Mommy, and likes me more..."

Lu Miaomiao pouted and looked down at the bed.

Their mother did nothing but cultivate, even during festivals, she would cultivate in the back mountains. Compared to their mother, they preferred their father because he was always by their side, knew what they liked, and knew what they cared about.

Lu Zixuan fell silent.

She glanced at the ring on her finger and fell into deep thought.

"Sister, I've found that when I'm with Aunt Xue, I don't miss Mother as much," Lu Miaomiao said, feeling wronged.

Seeing that her younger sister was about to cry, Lu Zixuan went to her sister's bed and hugged her tightly.

"From now on, let's get along well with Aunt Xue and stop missing Mommy..."

The following morning.

Seeing his daughters, who were already well-prepared, Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "We're leaving for the Demon Willow Academy soon. Are you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous! It would be even better if Daddy could come with Miaomiao!" Lu Miaomiao said she wasn't nervous, but in reality, her whole little face looked like it was frozen in place.

Lu Zixuan, on the other hand, showed no signs of nervousness; instead, she was eager to try.

Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "That's fine, Daddy will accompany Miaomiao to school on the first day."

"Great! Daddy's the best!" Lu Miaomiao rushed over instantly, her face beaming.

Lu Qing'an then looked at Sun Minzi: "Do you want to come along?"

"Huh? I can do it too?!" Sun Minzi blinked.

"I've spoken to the Dean of the Demon Willow Academy and told him to let my daughters go there to cultivate. You can just pretend to be my daughter, and you can use the time-traveling artifacts there to cultivate as you please."

"Is this... is this really alright? I'm just a nobody; I'm afraid I'll embarrass you..."

Before Sun Minzi could finish speaking, Lu Qing'an said directly, "It's decided then. You'll stay with Zixuan; you're friends, and you can look after each other."

Lu Zixuan laughed and said, "Minzi! Listen to my father! With you here, I'll have some company!"

"Yes! Yes! Minzi, let's go together!" Lu Miaomiao smiled and stepped forward to take Sun Minzi's hand.

"Then... then thank you very much, senior!!!" Sun Minzi quickly bowed ninety degrees to Lu Qing'an, performing a deep salute.

I never imagined I would have such a fortuitous opportunity!

"Brother-in-law, my master and I have created the teleportation arrays you need. Shall we set them up on both sides today?" Xu Yunyi asked with a smile.

"Auntie, are you coming to the academy with us too?" Upon hearing this, Lu Miaomiao ran up to Xu Yunyi and grabbed Xu Yunyi hand.

Lu Qing'an nodded. "Okay, one of you can set up here, and the other can set up at the academy. By the way, Yunyi, if you don't mind, you can pretend to be my daughter and join the Demon Willow Academy. With this identity, you can freely go to the Demon Willow Academy's time treasure for secluded cultivation. With a time flow rate of 1 to 300, you can break through to the Great Emperor Realm much faster."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunyi paused for a moment, then blushed. "Brother-in-law, isn't this inappropriate? I'm already this old, can I still pretend to be your daughter...?"

Xiao Qingyi then laughed and said, "Your shamelessness is comparable to mine. I can just imagine Old Liu's expression when he sees you bring so many daughters."

"I only mentioned that my daughters could join the Demon Willow Academy, I didn't specify how many, and he agreed, so there's no going back now," Lu Qing'an replied to Xiao Qingyi with a smile.

Moreover, Liu Xiyue must know about Lu Hong's incident that day. One of the reasons he didn't kill Lu Hong was that he also wanted Xu Yunyi to join the academy.

He looked at Xu Yunyi and said, "Think it over carefully. Do you want to save face or improve your cultivation? You don't need to say anything. Just stand aside and wait for the admission procedures to be completed."

Luo Danhong advised, "Disciple, with a time flow rate of one to three hundred, even I would want to use that time-traveling artifact."

Lu Qing'an glanced at Luo Danhong: "If you don't care about saving face, you can pretend to be my daughter."

Upon hearing this, Luo Danhong's cheeks flushed.

"Never mind... Although many people in the Demon Domain don't know me, there are bound to be some who do, especially my junior brother, who knows me... cough cough..." Luo Danhong was extremely embarrassed.

Lu Qing'an looked at Xu Yunyi, waiting for Xu Yunyi reply.

Xu Yunyi recalled her recent encounter at the Immortal Ruins, and finally gritted her teeth, lowering her head and blushing, she said, "Alright then, I'll give it a try..."

"Alright, let's set off together then," Lu Qing'an said.

"Father, wait a minute, Aunt Xue hasn't come out yet," Lu Miaomiao said.

Xue Tianfei agreed and went with her on the first day as well.

Lu Qing'an looked towards Xue Tianfei's room.

Just then, Xue Tianfei came out.

Xue Tianfei had clearly dressed up carefully and even put on light makeup. Her natural beauty was already stunning, but now she looked even more dignified, elegant, and captivating.

"Are we about to set off? Let's go," Xue Tianfei said with a smile.

Lu Qing'an: "Did you even dress up specially?"

"It's the first time I'm sending my child to the academy, and I can't let her embarrass herself, so it's better to dress her up a bit..." Xue Tianfei seemed very solemn, as if today was a very important day for her.

"Wow! Aunt Xue, you're so beautiful!" Lu Miaomiao jogged over to Xue Tianfei Xue Tianfei, grabbed her hand, and showered her with affection.

Xue Tianfei smiled gently, "Miaomiao has such a sweet tongue."

Lu Qing'an's expression was strange.

It gives me the illusion that a couple is taking a bunch of kids to school...
