In the dimly lit room, two rows of seats were filled with Xiu Mu family elders who were dressed in noble clothes. Their gazes were all focused on Bai Zai.
Bai Zai didn't avoid their questioning gazes. Instead, he raised his head and calmly walked into the innermost seat.
After taking his seat, he used an impeccable official language to open the prologue to the discussion.
"I believe everyone knows why I have come today.”
There was silence. No one responded.
"It has been more than a month since our last conversation. I have already considered it carefully. Today, I am only here to inform you of my final judgment.”
At this point, he paused.
"I still decide to marry Fei Zhen. This was the decision made by the Xiu Mu Family's Patriarch, and it could not be changed.”
As soon as these words came out, it set off a huge uproar.
"Lord Bai Zai, please reconsider!"
"Lord Bai Zai!"
"This old man cannot agree to such a decision!”
Everyone's objections surged out like a wave. They had long expected such an outcome and had prepared many words to advise their master. Unfortunately, they had underestimated the status of the girl from Liuhun Street in the heart of this strong-willed Lord.
The woman named Fei Zhen was Bai Zai's only weakness.
"In contrast, I won't break any rules and make things difficult for you.”Bai Zai maintained a tone that allowed no room for discussion." This is the only time. I won't give in."”
"But…"
"Lord Bai Zai…"
The noise lessened slightly, but there were still people who were unwilling to compromise.
"This is an order, not a negotiation. The wedding would be held in a month, and everything would be simple. If there were any more objections, he would be stripped of his position as an elder of the Xiu Mu family.”
The old butler sighed helplessly in a place where no one could see.
The heavens of the Xiu Mu family were about to change.
But why did it have to be a woman from Liuhun Street? Not to mention that their marriage would not be able to stabilize the status of the Xiu Mu family's four great families, just the fact that she had no spiritual power was enough to become a reason for everyone to oppose this marriage.
After all, the Xiu Mu family had been passed down for twenty-eight generations until Young Master Bai Zai. Every generation of family heads had been the captains of the court guards, talents that were one in ten thousand.
If he married a woman from Liuhun Street, the worst outcome for the child would be that he would have no spiritual power and could only be sent back to Liuhun Street to live. At best, he would only be able to maintain the status quo of an ordinary Death God, and it would be difficult for him to make any breakthroughs.
Moreover, people without ling power would not be able to live long in the Tranquil Spirit Palace. She was trading her life for a short period of happiness.
She clearly knew this, but she still insisted on marrying into Xiu Mu's family.
It was really fate.
" If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have…" someone muttered softly, but the Chief Elder shot him a warning look.
"Watch your mouth."
"I'm extremely sorry!"
The man quickly bent down, his forehead hitting the ground with a crisp sound.
At this moment, Jiu Nanqiao was still clueless about the important events of Xiu Mu's family.
She only wanted to work hard to improve her results. Unknowingly, the third month of studying in the Spiritual Academy quickly came to an end.
He heard that many students from the neighboring class had already dropped out because they could not stand the pressure. Among the remaining people, the rankings that were originally arranged when they entered the school had also fluctuated greatly.
Hai Qing's results were still at the top of the list, with full marks for everything except the history of the Corpse Soul Realm, and Ijuin was closely behind. What was more surprising was that Xiubing actually surpassed Tiger Tetsu Seiyin and Kozaki Sentaro, ranking third, catching up from behind. As for Jiu Nanqiao, her score was also rising. In the most recent battle, she had already passed the passing mark for Class One.
This month's combat test was the final chance to determine success or failure.
She couldn't just wait to die.
After all, she had shamelessly boasted in front of Xiu Mu Bai Zai that she would squeeze into class one the next time he came to guide her!
"What's wrong? You look distracted.”
Qing Yin asked casually as she looked at her in the dormitory.
She picked up the book beside her and flipped through a few pages to dispel her depressed mood."Yes, I am. I'm a little nervous."
Actually, it wasn't just a little, it was a lot.
However, she felt that being so honest in front of others would dampen her spirit, and it would not be of any use.
"The exam is tomorrow. You should eat well today." Qing Yin was not nervous at all.
However, Joe admitted that she was right. In this situation, eating was the most important insurance.
She tried her best to give herself a psychological hint."Yes, you're right."
However, the reality was still more difficult than she thought.
Because she had no appetite at all.
"Ah, it's okay. If it's you, it should be okay. I'll wait for you in class one!! Hahahaha!" In her hesitation, Qing Yin suddenly patted her back, scaring her.
After being frightened by her, the nervousness from before dissipated a little. Joe finally smiled.
"…Thank you, Qing Yin."
"Aiyo, what's there to thank between us! If you really want to thank me, treat me to the fruits you made next time!”When Qing Yin was happy, she spoke at an astonishing speed, causing her to often be unable to keep up with her speed.
"Alright, I'll give you a set of 12 pieces of the Four Seasons.”
"Yay! Jiu Nan, you are the reincarnation of Bodhisattva!"
The advantage of having a skill in cooking was that one could capture the hearts of foodies with delicious food. This was all thanks to Ji Zi's forty-odd years of teaching.
" Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask you a question…" Qing Yin suddenly changed the topic.
"Ask me?" Joe was surprised. Her results were not considered outstanding.
He didn't expect Qin Yin to not ask an academic question, but instead,""Why do you want to be the Grim Reaper so badly, Jiu Nan? Isn't it good to inherit your adoptive mother's tavern? Sometimes, when I see you working too hard, I feel my stomach ache for you.”
"Because I want to be more powerful than Xiu Mu Bai Zai."”
Hearing this, Qing Yin was so shocked that her jaw hit the ground.
"What did you say? No, how dare you call Captain by his full name?!!!”
"Is the main point the latter part?"
"I didn't expect you to be so ambitious, Jiunan! I couldn't tell that you were this kind of person! Even the entrance exam was so difficult! Ah! Was this an ant trying to shake a tree? But somehow…I feel touched by your ambition! If you have anything you don't understand next time, feel free to ask me. I'll definitely tell you everything I know.”
In fact, Joe had simply picked the most unlikely answer because she felt that it would be troublesome to explain her blurry memory.
But…judging from Qin Yin's expression, she completely believed him.
Forget it, it was fine. At least Qingyin always had her own unique insights in learning. Perhaps she could really help her.
It was hopeless to think about it. The people around him were all abnormally outstanding people. They were born into prominent families, had excellent results, were astonishingly powerful, were full of confidence, and were polite. The most terrible thing was that they were not only hardworking, but also very kind. Sometimes, thinking about it, the world really knew how to joke. Even if they were nobles, how could she hate them?
However, she was the luckiest person in the world to have met such an outstanding person.
