“Big Brother’s complexion looks better now.” Leng Ruoxue sized him up.?It seems Big Brother’s mood has almost recovered.

“It’s all thanks to these two little fellows accompanying me.” Leng Ruohan pointed at the little silver wolf and little blaze lion sleeping soundly in his arms. He didn’t have time to think about those unhappy things with these two cute little fellows sticking to him all day.

“They did a good job.” Leng Ruoxue was satisfied.

“Big Brother, I’ll bring you somewhere.”

Seeing him looking at her with some uncertainty, Leng Ruoxue smiled mysteriously and directly brought him into the Heaven and Earth Bracelet.

“Xue’er, where is this place? It’s so beautiful.” Leng Ruohan was surprised.?How can there be such a beautiful place in this world?

“This space belongs to me. Big Brother, you can stay here if you want.”

“Really?” Leng Ruohan asked happily. This place was simply like a paradise on earth.

“As long as Big Brother likes it.” Leng Ruoxue then told her brother the origin of this space.

“No wonder Grandpa let you go out alone without worry.” His grandfather even hid it from him for Xue’er’s safety. But he understood his grandfather’s way of doing things. He would also hide it from his grandfather if it were him. It was better for fewer people to know about such a heaven-defying place.

“Xue’er, Grandpa is right. You are a very blessed person. Even I am basking in your good fortune now,” Leng Ruohan said with slight pride.

“Xue’er will bring Big Brother wherever she goes in the future.” She wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her brother.

“Silly girl.” Leng Ruohan was very touched.

…

The atmosphere in the conference room of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy was tense.

“Principal, Leng Ruoxue is a specially admitted student of yours. What should we do? We have to give the Fu family an explanation,” Vice Principal Chen Jian of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy said aggressively.

“What kind of explanation do you want to give the Fu family?” Lin Liang said indifferently. The Heavenly Phoenix Academy was basically divided into two factions now—his faction and Chen Jian’s. Chen Jian had always been eyeing his position as the principal because he had the backing of the Xu family. And it seemed that he was the one who orchestrated Ruohan’s incident. Unfortunately, Lin Liang wasn’t at the academy at that time. If not, he wouldn’t have been caught between a rock and a hard place, causing his disciple to be wronged. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t hate Chen Jian, but now was not the time to move against him.

“Of course, we should hand Leng Ruoxue over to the Fu family and let them deal with her,” Chen Jian said matter-of-factly.

“Will you represent the academy in the competition if we hand her over to the Fu family?” Lin Liang said mockingly.

“Principal, what do you mean?”

“Leng Ruoxue will be representing the academy in this Academy Competition, and she will be the main force,” Lin Liang said.

“What? Principal, Leng Ruoxue is a simpleton. How can you let a simpleton represent the academy? Do you want our Heavenly Phoenix Academy to become the laughing stock of the Ling Feng Continent? It’s not like we don’t have people in the academy anymore. What qualifications does she have to represent the academy?” Chen Jian roared angrily.

“She isn’t qualified? Then who is qualified?” Lin Liang retorted.?Hmph, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? I didn’t do anything to you before because I thought you were a clown, but now you’re obviously threatening the foundation of the academy.

“Our academy is full of talents, but you let a simpleton be the main force. It will make the other students bitterly disappointed,” Chen Jian said righteously.

“Yes, Principal. If we let a simpleton be the main force of our academy, the students won’t be convinced,” an elder said after receiving Chen Jian’s gaze.

“Yes, Principal, please reconsider.”

“Principal, this won’t do.”

“Are you the principal, or am I the principal? Are you doubting my vision?” Lin Liang snorted in displeasure.

The elders who were against the principal didn’t dare to say anything else after hearing his tone. The principal might focus his efforts on cultivation and rarely interfered with the academy’s affairs, but they were very afraid of him when he was angry.

“Principal, Leng Ruoxue injured a classmate. Even if we don’t hand her over to the Fu family, we can’t let such a violent student stay in the academy, or it will cause panic among the students. Many students have told me that they would leave the academy if Leng Ruoxue doesn’t leave the academy.” Chen Jian added fuel to the fire.

“Many? Like who?”?Are they trying to use public opinion to pressure me again?

“Erm… I promised not to reveal their identities,” Chen Jian said.

“Hmph, either you tell me who said it, or I won’t change my decision. Moreover, it takes two hands to clap. If you want to pursue Leng Ruoxue’s responsibility, why don’t you ask what Fu Mingzhu did first? In addition, if you want to hand Leng Ruoxue over to the Fu family for them to deal with, go and tell Leng Qingtian yourself. The academy will not interfere in this matter.” Lin Liang stood up from his seat, glanced at them coldly, and turned to leave.

Go and tell Leng Qingtian ourselves? Who would dare??Leng Qingtian almost ate them up last time. This time, they originally planned to get the principal to represent the academy. But the principal made it clear that he wouldn’t bother with this matter, so there was nothing they could do.

…

“Your Majesty, please uphold justice for me,” pleaded a chubby middle-aged man with a big belly as he knelt on the floor of the imperial study.

“My beloved minister, what is the meaning of this?” the emperor asked in puzzlement.

“Your Majesty, someone injured my daughter. Please uphold justice for me.” The academy refused to do anything, so he had to come to the emperor.

“You are the prime minister of the Eastern Lagoon Empire. How can someone be so blind as to bully your precious daughter?”?It’s good enough if you don’t bully others,?the emperor added in his head.

“It’s the simpleton of General Leng’s family. She and her pet beast injured my daughter,” Fu Xiang said with a face full of tears.

“Beloved minister, you know that she is a simpleton, so why are you still fussing over it with a simpleton?” Upon hearing that it involved General Leng, the emperor didn’t want to bother about this matter anymore. An accident happened to Leng Qingtian’s grandson, and he became a cripple who couldn’t cultivate spiritual power. That old man was in a bad mood, so who dared to provoke him now?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Your Majesty, I heard that simpleton has regained her mental faculties. She’s even been specially admitted by Principal Lin into the Heavenly Phoenix Academy. Apparently, she is also going to be representing the academy in the Academy Competition two months later,” Fu Xiang added quickly.
