What is it?

Lu Qing'an looked at Xu Yunyi, who seemed a little embarrassed at the moment, and asked a question.

Seeing Xu Yunyi glance at him, Xiao Qingyi asked directly, "Should I avoid her?"

"No need..." Xu Yunyi organized her thoughts for a moment, then decided to leave it at that. She had already promised her younger brother, and it wouldn't be right not to help.

"Brother-in-law, it's like this, my brother already knows that you are the Eternal Night Demon Emperor."

Lu Qing'an said, "Really? And then?"

"Brother-in-law, you might not know this, but this kid has always idolized the Eternal Night Demon Emperor since he was a child..." Xu Yunyi said, stealing a glance at Lu Qing'an to see Lu Qing'an expression.

As expected, Lu Qing'an showed a hint of surprise.

Lu Qing'an couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You consider me your idol? What kind of explanation is that?"

He became interested.

This kid actually idolizes him?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyi also became interested, and with a flash of his hand, a watermelon appeared.

He ran his fingers through the watermelon, cutting it into many pieces, and began to eat it.

"Your deeds in the Demon Domain back then didn't just spread there; they also reached the Demon Domain Immortal Ruins. So, there are some people in the Immortal Ruins who greatly admire your strength and your style of doing things. As a result, quite a few people look up to you as a role model. My brother is one of them."

Xu Yunyi really wanted to say that she was actually one of them.

"Oh, I see."

Lu Qing'an nodded slightly.

I didn't realize my brother was so famous.

He also has quite a few fans in the Immortal Ruins.

I never expected that my brother-in-law would also be a fan of his...

Now that we know he is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, this is getting interesting.

This kid used to talk back to him a lot.

Of course, he was also taking advantage of his brother-in-law.

When he first went to the Immortal Ruins and cleansed his heart of its malevolence, he always felt that he hadn't cleansed himself enough. So he wanted to find someone to practice controlling his murderous intent, but everyone he met there was kind to him, and he couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being.

Unexpectedly, his brother-in-law suddenly appeared just when he was troubled, which was exactly what he wanted.

At first, he almost couldn't hold back a few times, but as time went on, he became more and more in control, and finally he was completely certain that he had no murderous intent in his heart. As long as some sensitive points were not touched, he would not easily be tempted to kill.

"Now that he knows you're the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, he's filled with remorse. He even said that every time he thinks about what he did to you in the past, he wishes he could beat himself to death..."

As Xu Yunyi spoke, her face turned red.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyi became even faster at gossiping.

He knew there was juicy gossip going on!

Lu Qing'an's brother-in-law used to be so annoying!

This is going to be fun!

Those who used to praise Lu Qing'an's abilities must be feeling incredibly frustrated now.

"Oh, and then?"

"Then, he kept begging me to apologize to you on his behalf and ask for your forgiveness." Xu Yunyi finally felt a little better after saying this.

Finally finished!

"This kid used to curse me a lot. But, as I've told you before, he might be a bit of a brat, but he's actually a decent guy," Lu Qing'an said with a smile.

"Oh? Brother-in-law, you've forgiven him?" Xu Yunyi's eyes lit up.

Lu Qing'an shook his head. "I can't forgive him."

"Huh? This..."

Xu Yunyi's forehead was sweating.

Lu Qing'an was just teasing Xu Yunyi, laughing, "I was just kidding. This kid has nothing to do with me anymore, so there's no question of forgiveness or not. Whether we see each other again or not is irrelevant."

Xu Yunyi asked softly, "What if he comes here sometime?"

Lu Qing'an laughed and said, "Now that he's here, I'll definitely treat him well!"

When he said the word "hospitality," Lu Qing'an deliberately emphasized it.

Xu Yunyi felt a chill run down her spine.

Younger brother!

You'd better not come!

Something terrible is about to happen!!

Lu Qing'an smiled and didn't say anything more.

He really didn't take Xu Xuanyu seriously.

This kid was indeed quite annoying when he argued with him, but he was very good to his children. Although he has indeed divorced Xu Qingying, it doesn't change the fact that Xu Xuanyu is the uncle of his three children.

He welcomes Xu Xuanyu to visit the child.

However, he didn't mind playing a prank on the kid.

"Okay, I... I have something to do, I'll go back and get back to work..."

Xu Yunyi quickly ran away from the spot.

Watching Xu Yunyi's retreating figure, Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled, then looked at Xiao Qingyi.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"You still have such a wicked sense of humor," Xiao Qingyi laughed.

He knew Lu Qing'an's personality very well.

I couldn't possibly argue with my brother-in-law over something so trivial; I was just trying to scare him.

Lu Qing'an did not reply to Xiao Qingyi's words, but smiled and remained silent.

"Let's continue drinking tea."

"Haha, I'm full from this melon, so I won't drink anymore. Hey, I really hope your brother-in-law can come over; that would make things even more interesting."

Xiao Qingyi found the matter increasingly intriguing.

This brother-in-law actually idolizes Lu Qing'an, yet he used to be so annoying; it's quite amusing no matter how you look at it.

Life in the Demon Domain Realm is progressing peacefully.

Two days passed quickly.

Over the past two days, Xu Yunyi and her three companions have been going to the Demon Willow Academy every day to cultivate and study.

They wouldn't return until almost the afternoon or evening.

After two days of adjustment, Lu Zixuan and Sun Minzi had fully adapted to the cultivation environment at the Demon Willow Academy.

They began to integrate into that diligent atmosphere.

Lu Zixuan, in particular, became even more diligent in her cultivation.

Upon returning that day, Lu Zixuan and Sun Minzi suddenly found Lu Qing'an.

"Dad, there's something I need your help with!"

"What is it?" Lu Qing'an asked gently when he saw that his daughter had broken through two more levels of cultivation.

This cultivation breakthrough is quite fast.

As one's cultivation level increases, the speed of cultivation should logically decrease. Lu Zixuan's ability to achieve such a rapid breakthrough demonstrates just how strong her talent is.

"Here's the thing, we've been in seclusion for a while, and our progress has been rapid. However, we're starting to have a harder time controlling our strength. We need more real combat experience to master our current abilities, so I slowed down my cultivation progress and started focusing on practical combat. Then, Minzi and I discovered a special pagoda in the Demon Willow Academy. The pagoda's space can conjure Devil Beast beasts. We teamed up to try and break through its defenses, but we couldn't get past the third level."

"Does the Demon Willow Academy even have this kind of practical combat-based dungeon tower? And then what?"

"Then our main problem right now is that we don't know enough about Devil Beast. We've searched for a lot of information in the academy's library, but we still can't find any professional information about the weaknesses of different Devil Beast."

Lu Qing'an then looked at Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei and asked, "Could you obtain detailed information on all types of Devil Beast in the Demon Domain?"

Xue Tianfei smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll have the authorities issue a reward and have some professionals compile a report."

Lu Qing'an nodded. "Then I'll trouble you."

He knew that the two children wanted these materials not only because of practical application issues, but also because they were interested in completing the challenges.

I want to challenge higher levels.

If it were him, he wouldn't care about the weaknesses of Devil Beast.

Focus on improving your combat skills, then just rampage through the levels.

If the child has a need, he should simply fulfill that need.

"Aren't you going to thank Aunt Xue yet?"

"Thank you, Aunt Xue!!"

Xue Tianfei laughed and said, "It's a small matter. I'll get it for you tomorrow."

"OK!"

The two of them went back to their room happily.

Lu Qing'an then looked at Xiao Qingyi: "When did the Demon Willow Academy get this kind of tower? I've never heard of it before."

"It's strange, really. That Liu Xiyue guy somehow acquired a lot of bizarre treasures. Many things in the Demon Willow Academy today are from the last thousand years or so. Like that pagoda the child mentioned earlier, called the Devil Beast Tower..."

This Devil Beast Tower has ten floors, and each floor can conjure up a number of Devil Beast.

After obtaining this treasure, the Demon Willow Academy immediately used it as a tool for its students to hone their combat skills.

All students can team up to challenge the levels, with a maximum of three people per team. The Devil Beast they summon will also be at the same level as the three students.

Each time they pass a level, all three will receive a sum of Demon Willow Points.

Furthermore, this tower can rank the students based on their combat skills and techniques.

The Demon Willow Institute then created a ranking list, which made the young students even more eager to participate. In order to be ranked, they worked even harder to improve their combat skills.

After hearing about the Devil Beast Tower, Lu Qing'an laughed and said, "It's quite a nice thing. With my daughter being so strong, she'll dominate the rankings sooner or later."

"Haha, I see you for who you are now, you're just a doting father to your daughter," Xiao Qingyi teased with a laugh.

"With such a wonderful daughter, how can you not become a doting father?"

Lu Qing'an smiled and asked in return.

Xiao Qingyi: "Absolutely!"

Lu Qing'an smiled, "That's more like it."
