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

So many...

She simply couldn't refuse!

Even a sect might not be able to accumulate such a rich foundation in hundreds of years. This batch of resources is enough to make the Heavenly Dao Academy's foundation soar, nourish its fortune, cultivate hundreds of geniuses, and pave the way for my husband to break through to the Great Emperor realm!

If we were to kill someone simply because of a boy's sincere confession, and if word got out, who would dare to take a position at the Heavenly Dao Academy in the future?

Moreover, if he were to commit murder after accepting such a valuable treasure, he would inevitably be branded as someone who coveted wealth and plotted to seize the treasure!

In the field.

Li Qinglan stood tall in a cool white dress, her beautiful, icy face still covered with a layer of frost. She seemed to still be angry, but her eyes, which had just been filled with murderous intent, were now completely devoid of any killing intent.

Her slender fingers, which held the sword, loosened slightly, and the sharp, gleaming sword, capable of piercing the heart at any moment, silently dissipated into the air.

No one could see that her fingertips, hanging at her sides, were trembling very slightly.

羞！

So embarrassing!

Having lived for thousands of years, adhering to rules and being pure of heart and desires, Li Qinglan had never been so embarrassed in her life!

Being openly flirted with in public by a strange man made her angry, annoyed, ashamed, and flustered, yet deep down, she felt a subtle, unprecedented flutter in her heart.

This complex mix of shame and anger caused her to lose her temper and almost make a terrible mistake!

The man in front of me named Xu Pingsheng must not be killed!

at least……

We can't kill them now!

At this delicate and strange moment, a resentful snort suddenly rang out!

"snort!"

"Who do you take my mother for?! You think you can desecrate my mother with mere possessions?"

From the crowd, a middle-aged man stepped forward, his face gloomy, his eyes filled with hostility and disdain.

Seeing his most revered mother being publicly humiliated, he was instantly consumed by rage. He strode forward with a sinister grin, his killing intent palpable.

"Mother! Why should you personally deal with such a dissolute scoundrel! Leave him to me, I'll personally send him on his way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man channeled his spiritual power, ready to kill Xu Pingsheng!

But the next moment.

"Bang!!"

A crisp, loud, and clean slap suddenly rang out!

No one saw when Li Qinglan made her move.

All that could be seen was that the aggressive middle-aged man was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, with half of his cheek swollen high.

He clutched his burning cheek, his pupils contracting sharply. He looked up at Li Qinglan in disbelief, his voice filled with utter shock and grievance: "Mother...why...why did you hit me?!"

Li Qinglan's face was frosty, her eyes cold and solemn, devoid of any emotion, as she sternly rebuked:

"What mother!"

"Within the sect, we only address each other by their official titles!"

The middle-aged man's lips twitched violently, his heart filled with resentment, but he dared not refute, so he could only grit his teeth, bow, and forcibly change his words:

"Yes... it's the vice dean."

He glared at Xu Pingsheng with hatred, still resentful, and muttered under his breath, "This toad trying to eat swan meat clearly doesn't respect his mother... the vice dean and the dean, he deserves..."

Snapped! ! !

Another smooth and crisp slap!

After being slapped a second time, the middle-aged man was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Everyone in the audience held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly.

Li Qinglan's expression was cold as she swept her gaze over the stunned middle-aged man, her voice ringing out in the room, leaving no room for argument:

"What kid?"

"Call him Uncle Xu!"

what?

The middle-aged man froze on the spot, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Xu Pingsheng's fair and striking face, completely bewildered.

Should he call a pretty boy "uncle"?

In terms of years of cultivation, he is old enough to be the ancestor of this young man in front of him!

Besides, aren't titles used within a sect?

He never imagined that his mother, who had always adhered to etiquette and was rigid and strict in her thinking, would be so biased towards a lecherous playboy.

Many thoughts swirled in my mind, and an absurd guess suddenly surfaced:

Could this pretty boy be a lover that Mother is secretly keeping by Father?

These rare treasures were all secretly given by my mother, who then used the title of instructor to legitimately place me in the sect so that I could stay with her day and night.

This mother and her young lover are getting really into it; if things don't go smoothly and the authorities don't take proper precautions, the consequences could be dire...

The middle-aged man became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it. As the rightful heir of the Heavenly Dao Academy, he suddenly realized that his seemingly impregnable position as heir was in grave danger.

It's terrifying to think about!

"Since Mr. Xu has been hired as a swordsmanship instructor at this academy and will be working alongside me on equal footing, it is proper for you to address him as Uncle Xu."

Li Qinglan spoke calmly.

Ignoring the turbulent emotions of the middle-aged man, he turned to Xu Pingsheng and nodded slightly. "Instructor Xu, I already have a Daoist partner. From now on, please refrain from making such jokes within the sect, otherwise..."

The rest of the words were left unsaid, but the underlying warning was clear to everyone present.

[Ding! Host's confession failed! Given that the target of the confession, Li Qinglan, has a favorability rating of 30, a double compensation for failure has been unexpectedly triggered, rewarding you with 60 years of cultivation points!]

what?

Xu Pingsheng was slightly taken aback.

What's going on?

Li Qinglan's favorability rating towards her is actually as high as 30?

You have to know that it took a lot of effort to raise Meng Yuxuan's favorability to 30, and then by chance, it was raised again.

He confessed his feelings to Li Qinglan, a married man who was extremely traditional, in front of everyone. It would be good enough if his favorability rating wasn't negative, let alone this high.

Could it be that I gave too much?

That's not right either!

Giving resources is at most an equivalent exchange, ensuring the other party doesn't kill you and allowing you to smoothly blend into the Heavenly Dao Academy and confess your feelings to them every day.

It seems there's only one truth—

I'm just too handsome!!!

(Of course, it can't compare to the great Yanzu among our readers.)

Xu Pingsheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

If it were any other woman, she would have agreed immediately, and I would have wasted my breath.

At this time.

Li Qinglan raised her hand and tossed out a black iron token, which landed in Xu Pingsheng's hand:

"This is the identity token of a kendo instructor, number 9527."

After saying that, she reached out and swept up the rare and precious materials scattered on the ground. With a surge of spiritual energy around her, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Holy shit! !

Xu Pingsheng immediately became anxious.

What a gold digger!

They took someone's things and ran away without even showing their Bentley logo. That's outrageous!

What's more, there's one last reward to claim today.

"Wait!"

Xu Pingsheng raised his voice and spoke.

Li Qinglan suddenly stopped, turned around, frowned, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

next second.

His gaze was fixed on Li Qinglan with deep affection, his voice gentle and sincere, echoing throughout the entire square:

"I never joke!"

"The love of beauty is universal. Fairy Qinglan possesses unparalleled beauty and unmatched elegance. I admire her greatly and openly confess my feelings. This is not a joke; I am neither stealing nor robbing, nor am I being humble or arrogant."

"I know that your marriage to the Dean was arranged from childhood, and there's no affection between you!"

"The Dean is devoted to his spiritual practice and has never given time to personal feelings, but he never considered that you are also a woman, a woman who needs to be coaxed, comforted, and accompanied!"

"Today, I just want to tell you that all that talk about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and the so-called chastity arches, is nonsense. It's all just shackles that bind women!"

"Married women also have the right to pursue love!!!!"

Everyone: "..."

That's called cheating!!!
