After arriving in the Demon Domain Realm, Lu Zixuan asked Sun Minzi Demon Domain many details of life there, especially the currency, the Demon Crystal, whose value was almost identical to that of the Spirit Stone in the Immortal Ruins.

Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone are the same as Supreme-Grade Demon Crystal.

She knew perfectly well that even a veteran Peak Great Emperor Realm expert like Lin Qingxue from the Immortal Ruins would find it difficult to come up with 100 million Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Xue produced a billion Supreme-Grade Demon Crystal all at once, without even breaking a sweat!

What a rich woman!

Lu Qing'an then sent a telepathic message to Xiao Qingyi, asking, "Has Xue Tianfei's business grown so much over the years? I don't remember her being this wealthy before."

Xiao Qingyi replied telepathically, "Before, she was always chasing after you, neglecting to manage her power. She's been searching for you for the past thousand years, but she's also had a lot of time to manage her power. So now her influence spans the entire Demon Domain, making her a veritable tycoon."

"I see..."

"Ten billion?!" Upon receiving the ten billion Supreme-Grade Demon Crystal, Lu Qingxu's eyes widened. He probed into his storage ring and, upon seeing that there were indeed ten billion Supreme-Grade Demon Crystal inside, he swallowed hard.

Good heavens!

I thought he was here to take the blame!

I never expected to feel so good about taking the blame!

Even if you only embezzle a little bit, you'll still make a fortune!

"Alright! I'll raise the Demon Willow Points of these four beauties' tokens to the maximum right away!!" Lu Qingxu laughed.

Lu Qingxu retrieved the four tokens and went to deal with the matter.

Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei and said, "You've gone to so much trouble."

Xue Tianfei's pretty face, which had been expressionless just a moment ago, instantly blossomed into a gentle smile, "This amount of money is nothing. You've just returned to the Demon Domain, so you probably don't have many Demon Crystal on hand. If you need more Demon Crystal in the future, just let me know. I can provide as many as you need."

Lu Qing'an thought to herself, "She really is a rich woman."

How much can you afford?

"Aunt Xue! You're so rich!" Lu Miaomiao stared wide-eyed at Xue Tianfei.

Xue Tianfei laughed and said, "It's alright. I can buy whatever Miaomiao wants. I'll let you in on a secret: the good food I give you is all bought by Aunt Xue through other people."

Wow! It's so great to be rich! I'm going to work hard to earn money so I can buy whatever I want to eat!

"Haha, you don't need to earn it, Aunt Xue will just give it to you. Aunt Xue has plenty of money."

"Really? Aunt Xue, how much money do you have?"

"Well, buying up a third of the Demon Domain's assets is quite simple," Xue Tianfei said with a smile.

Lu Qing'an looked at Xiao Qingyi and transmitted his voice, "Is what she said true?"

He risked his life back then, but he never earned this many Demon Crystal.

Xiao Qingyi replied, "That's a low-key way of putting it. Go to any shop in any city and ask who owns it. There's a 30% chance it's under Xue Tianfei's merchant guild. Since Xue Tianfei focused on running her business, her guild has become more and more amazing year by year. In any case, it has now become the strongest merchant guild in the Demon Domain Realm by leaps and bounds."

Lu Qing'an knew that Xue Tianfei's Lineage had been running a business for generations, but in the past, this business was only one of the top ten business in the Demon Domain. He never expected that after he had been away for a thousand years, Xue Tianfei had achieved such great success in running the business.

"Wow!" Lu Miaomiao didn't know how amazing this was, but it sounded very impressive, so she gave Xue Tianfei plenty of emotional value.

Lu Zixuan understood the significance of this even more, and her gaze towards Xue Tianfei changed once again.

I have developed some admiration for them!

In her mind, she couldn't help but compare Xue Tianfei to their mother.

She's now stronger than their mother in terms of ability, and she's much gentler towards their father and them. She's also a powerful businesswoman who can make so much money...

To be honest, when she first saw Xue Tianfei getting so close to her father, she felt a little uncomfortable.

But at this moment, my feelings have changed.

Perhaps, it's not so bad for Aunt Xue to be with her father...

Xu Yunyi was also staring at Xue Tianfei, and at this moment her feelings were very similar to Lu Zixuan's.

She couldn't help but compare her older sister to Xue Tianfei.

Then came the bitter discovery.

Compared to Xue Tianfei, her own sister was simply incomparable...

Most importantly, Xue Tianfei was able to treat her rival's daughter in such a way.

If Xue Tianfei's current behavior is genuine, without any pretense, and not something she's deliberately putting on for her brother-in-law, then Xue Tianfei has truly outshone her sister...

Lu Qing'an was also watching Xue Tianfei. Seeing her chatting happily with Lu Miaomiao, his feelings also changed a little.

He couldn't help but think back to the past, wondering if he had been too prejudiced against Xue Tianfei... In fact, his understanding of Xue Tianfei was still insufficient.

"See? My judgment wasn't wrong. Xue Tianfei is actually a very good woman." At this moment, Lu Qing'an heard Xiao Qingyi's voice transmission.

This time, Lu Qing'an didn't say anything more about Xiao Qingyi.

At first, he wondered if Xiao Qingyi had been paid by Xue Tianfei or threatened by Xue Tianfei to keep pushing him to be with Xue Tianfei.

Looking back now, I realize that the old man really did consider him a close friend, which is why he said those things.

"Don't talk about me, I just got divorced not long ago. But you, at your age, have you ever thought about finding a partner?" Lu Qing'an replied telepathically.

A profound glint flashed in Xiao Qingyi's eyes, as if time had rewound to a distant past. He then shook his head and smiled, "I'm naturally unrestrained and love freedom! Three disciples are enough. Besides, with your two daughters living here, I'm not lonely. What need do I have for a companion?"

Lu Qing'an's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

He had heard about Xiao Qingyi's past; the old man had a hidden past that he had never told anyone.

Lu Qingxu finally brought the tokens back and handed them to Xu Yunyi and the other three with a fawning expression. He even made a point of remembering their appearances and whispered that if they encountered any problems in the academy in the future, they could go directly to him for help.

After confirming that his daughters had indeed joined the Demon Willow Academy, Lu Qing'an asked, "Now they can cultivate within the academy, right?"

"Sure! You can even attend classes freely! Our instructors are all highly professional, with expertise in different cultivation levels and physiques, focusing on individualized instruction..."

Lu Qingxu explained the situation of the academy to Lu Qing'an in detail.

Because of his disciple's situation, Lu Qing'an didn't dare to teach the child carelessly. However, if he really let the child cultivate here, he would have to see the quality of the instructors.

In his opinion, the teaching here was somewhat lacking.

For example, Lu Qingxu's nephew.

"Okay, I'll go with the children to listen to the lesson."

"Yes, yes!"

And so, Lu Qing'an took Lu Zixuan and the others to the lecture.

He specifically instructed Lu Qingxu not to follow, to remain hidden, and to conduct random observations to assess the true level of the instructors at the Demon Willow Academy.

They walked between different classrooms, much like leaders in a past life inspecting students' classes.

When some teachers were preaching, Lu Qing'an would stop, sit down at the back, and listen for a while.

I found that quite a few of the instructors are indeed quite skilled.

When he arrived at another classroom, he was surprised to find that the person giving the lecture was Lu Hong.

"It's this kid," Xiao Qingyi said, squinting.

Lu Qing'an became interested and said, "Let's listen to his lecture."

Song Xu said that Lu Hong was able to get into the academy through the entrance exam most likely because he got in through connections.

She's probably one of the less capable instructors at the Demon Willow Academy.

If they also have the necessary skills, then he would feel completely at ease letting his child receive instruction there.

If he gives the children some guidance at home, then he won't have to worry about them getting into any problems.
