Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

Everyone in the room was stunned, their minds went blank, and their faces were filled with great confusion.

Everyone knows about love at first sight, but can love at first sight last forever?

They had never heard of such an outrageous word!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xu Pingsheng, their minds racing.

What's going on??

Is this a confession of love?

And he confessed his feelings to Li Qinglan, the infamous cold-faced Abbess Miejue of the Heavenly Dao Academy?!

Li Qinglan frowned deeply, her beautiful, aloof face filled with confusion.

She hadn't realized what this young man was trying to do.

Before anyone could recover from their shock, Xu Pingsheng took another step forward.

A gentle smile played on his lips as he fixed his gaze on the bewildered Li Qinglan, and asked softly, "What time is it?"

This sudden question caught Li Qinglan off guard, prompting her to instinctively respond:

"Nine o'clock in the morning."

The voice just fell.

Xu Pingsheng gently shook his head, his posture tender and affectionate. He then bowed and raised his hand, offering the flower that had materialized in his palm. His eyes were so deep with affection that they seemed about to overflow.

"No."

"Now, this is the beginning of our happiness."

boom--!!

A short sentence, lightly drifting down onto the square.

In an instant, the entire bustling and lively admissions plaza fell into dead silence!

Utter silence!

The thousands of disciples were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, as if they could fit an egg in them. Their heads were buzzing, and all that could be heard in their minds was the word "Holy crap!"

God!!!

It's actually true!

He really is confessing his feelings!!

Whose subordinate is this?

So brave!

He flirted with Li Qinglan in public!

Teasing the wife of the dignified Master of the Heavenly Dao Academy!

This is tantamount to publicly cuckolding the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy; isn't that suicidal?

Let alone ordinary cultivators, even if the lords of the three holy lands came in person, they would still have to give the Heavenly Dao Academy Master some face. At most, they would occasionally glance at him unintentionally, but they would never be so bold as to confess and flirt with him!

Is this young man truly planning to single-handedly confront the entire Heavenly Dao Academy?!

Li Qinglan was completely dumbfounded.

Her beautiful, aloof face froze on the spot, her mind blank and buzzing. She stared blankly at the smiling young man in front of her, completely unable to believe her ears.

Her voice trembled slightly, stammering with disbelief: "You...what did you say?"

[Ding! Host's confession failed! Failure compensation reward triggered!]

[Congratulations, host! You have randomly gained thirty years of cultivation points!]

The system notification sounded in my mind right on time.

A hint of joy flashed across Xu Pingsheng's eyes.

Although it's not as generous as the top reward for breaking through a minor realm directly, every little bit helps, and the more free cultivation points you get, the better!

Compared to these material possessions, it's definitely not a loss!

With his mind made up, Xu Pingsheng's expression suddenly turned solemn. He knelt firmly on one knee, his posture sincere, his eyes burning with fervor and openness. He spoke in a clear voice, each word resounding throughout the entire hall:

"I said, I have long admired you, Qinglan."

"I have traveled thousands of miles to Tiandao Academy. Everyone thinks I came for sect opportunities and cultivation resources, but little do they know, I came only to see you."

"I never imagined that our first meeting would be in such a reckless yet unforgettable way."

He raised his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on Li Qinglan, whose face was ashen, and uttered a shocking statement without the slightest restraint:

"When we collided just now, your figure swayed, and in the instant that the half-moon touched me, I was completely captivated."

"In all my life, I have seen countless beauties, but I have never seen such perfect grace."

"Only today do I realize that you didn't just bump into me, you bumped into my heart!"

"In that instant, I knew for certain that this was a destiny ordained by heaven!"

His voice grew increasingly affectionate, but his words became increasingly outrageous and explosive.

"Qinglan, I missed your adolescence. Life is long, and I absolutely don't want to miss your menopause!"

"Qinglan, why not set aside all your inhibitions and have a passionate, epic romance with me?"

boom!!!

This sentence completely ignited the entire audience!

The deathly silence was instantly shattered, the entire recruitment plaza exploded, and the clamor soared into the sky!

Countless female disciples were filled with envy and anger, and their cries of pain rose and fell.

"Waaaaah! My idol!! How could he fall for Abbess Miejue?! Has the world changed? Are all handsome guys now just gossips?!"

"Waaaaah, what a pity! Look at me, my crush! I'm in the prime of my youth, you haven't missed out on a single thing!"

"Senior Qinglan! You've already had the headmaster by your side for so many years, please have mercy and let us, your hungry disciples, have our way with your male god! We're not afraid of hardship, we're willing to endure the bitterness of love!"

Many rational disciples shook their heads and sighed, their faces full of regret.

"Idiot! Absolutely idiotic! Confessing your feelings in public on a whim is suicidal!"

"Forget about the Heavenly Dao Academy Master, even with Vice Dean Li's temperament, he's doomed today, and no one can save him!"

"What a waste of such stunning looks and such a wealthy background; he was a true prodigy, yet he turned out to be a complete idiot, purely digging his own grave!"

"He's dead! I told you, even the Dao Ancestor couldn't save him!"

Several burly, fierce-looking female cultivators rubbed their hands together, their faces filled with excitement, and let out strange, cackling laughs.

"Tsk tsk, what a man! Vice Dean, remember to leave him a whole corpse when you make your move!"

"We can't snatch up the living heartthrobs, but at least we can get a piece of the action after they've faded into obscurity! Hehehe!"

All sorts of strange and sarcastic comments from the surroundings entered his ears.

At this moment, Li Qinglan finally snapped out of her daze.

The extreme astonishment faded, replaced by an overwhelming and bone-chilling rage!

A chilling aura raged around her, her fierce sword intent surged once more, her black hair moved without wind, her beautiful face was covered in frost, and the killing intent in her eyes was almost tangible.

She was a traditional woman who adhered to etiquette from childhood. She was betrothed to the head of the Heavenly Dao Academy since birth and remained devoted to one husband throughout her life.

Even though she and the academy master rarely saw each other and their marital relationship was distant, and they seldom showed affection or intimacy, in her heart, once their relationship was established, she would remain faithful for life.

She stood upright, remained chaste, and her life was pure and unblemished, her loyalty unyielding!

The young man's frivolous flirting and public declaration of affection not only humiliated her but also trampled on her husband and disgraced the Heavenly Dao Academy!

This humiliation is absolutely intolerable!

no way!

"You...you deserve to die!!"

Li Qinglan gritted her teeth, speaking slowly and deliberately, her voice cold and piercing.

Before the words were finished, countless azure sword shadows materialized once more, thousands of sharp swords carrying the terrifying pressure of a quasi-emperor, densely packed and overwhelming, piercing towards Xu Pingsheng, each sword light carrying a resolute killing intent to annihilate everything.

A fatal moment, a hair's breadth away, with the sword at your side.

Xu Pingsheng remained calm and composed, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather a confident and gentle smile.

He had long since figured out the ins and outs of the Heavenly Dao Academy, and even more so, he had figured out Li Qinglan's weakness.

The Heavenly Dao Academy has been declining for years, its resources are depleted, and its foundation is exhausted. The entire sect is in dire straits. The academy master has been lying low for many years and urgently needs resources to make a breakthrough. He also needs resources to revitalize the sect's glory and fight for that last bit of fortune.

While Li Qinglan appears cold, selfless, and upright, she is actually devoted to her sect and husband. For the sake of the survival and development of the Heavenly Dao Academy, she is willing to endure and yield in everything.

Just as the myriad sword shadows were about to strike—

Xu Pingsheng calmly raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth!

The massive amount of natural treasures, ten times heavier and several times larger than before, poured down from the void and crashed down onto the center of the entire square!

Mountains of high-grade immortal stones, millennia-old spiritual roots and herbs, sacred mines containing Dao essence, ancient elixir marrow, imperial-level spiritual medicines, and treasures from secret realms...

Countless rare treasures shone brightly, their dazzling light soaring into the sky. The rich and pure spiritual energy swept through the entire Heavenly Dao Academy like a vast ocean torrent, and the aura of Daoist charm enveloped all directions!

A burst of light filled the sky, stunning the entire audience!

Xu Pingsheng bowed slightly, his posture refined and gentlemanly, his tone gentle and appropriate, completely shedding his previous frivolous and teasing demeanor.

"This is a small gift, as it is my first visit. I hope you will take good care of me, Madam."

hum-

The countless sharp sword shadows rushing through the sky suddenly stopped in mid-air!

Every inch of it froze, and there was no longer a trace of killing intent!

Li Qinglan's delicate body suddenly stiffened, her beautiful eyes narrowed abruptly, her pupils trembled violently, and she froze completely in place.

She stared intently at the towering, unparalleled treasure mountain before her, her breath hitching slightly, her heart churning with turbulent emotions.

This……

This is way too much!
