Ming Zhi Tian smiled back at her, "Of course not, I have things to do too."
Dongfang Min'er: "Still looking?"
Ming Zhi Tian nodded, "Mm."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Seeing that they seemed to have known each other for a long time, Dongfang Guochan felt out of place and couldn't help but ask.
Dongfang Min'er: "You're still young, it's normal not to understand. Besides, this is Instructor Ming's private matter, it's not convenient to tell you too much."
"Oh." Dongfang Guochan felt bored and threw a tantrum, "If you don't want to say, then don't say it. So stingy."
Dongfang Min'er smiled awkwardly at Ming Zhi Tian, "It's all my fault for spoiling her. Please don't take offense."
Ming Zhi Tian dismissed it and was instead curious, "Your daughter? Whose?"
"My daughter?" Dongfang Min'er was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, "Don't misunderstand, she's adopted."
Ming Zhi Tian murmured, "Dongfang Dongfang, so that's how it is."
Dongfang Guochan asked suspiciously, "Do you two have something going on?"
Dongfang Min'er's face darkened, "Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking."
Dongfang Guochan expressed her dissatisfaction, "I'm already eighteen!"
Dongfang Min'er dotingly said, "But in Mom's eyes, you'll always be a little girl who never grows up."
Dongfang Guochan pouted, "Mom, someone is here. You saying that really is..."
Dongfang Min'er smiled knowingly, "Right, Emperor Ming, how was my teaching today? Are my one hundred elite students obedient?"
Ming Zhi Tian looked at her again, "Aren't there one?"
Dongfang Min'er was surprised. Dongfang Guochan explained, "It's like this, almost none of the top hundred elite students in the year chose him. And I had twenty-five students sign up today."
Ming Zhi Tian was indifferent. Dongfang Min'er thought about it and got angry, "Are they blind? Emperor Ming himself came, and they... I'm so angry!"
Ming Zhi Tian waved her hand, "It's not their fault. It's just that I'm too low-key. But here's one, right? Don't worry, I've already taught her a lesson."
Dongfang Min'er's interest was immediately piqued, "What's her aptitude like?"
Ming Zhi Tian: "Martial cultivation suits her very well, but she prefers pháp tu (magic cultivation), and she's not bad."
Dongfang Min'er: "What's her name?"
Dongfang Guochan: "I think it's Su Xin'er."
Dongfang Min'er: "Chan'chan, I have a mission for you, focus on cultivating Su Xin'er!"
"Oh." Dongfang Guochan didn't understand, but she always obeyed the Dean's orders.
A hurried knock on the door: "Knock knock knock..."
"Who?!" Dongfang Min'er said impatiently, "This seat is entertaining distinguished guests. We'll talk about it later if there's anything."
Outside the door, the Vice Dean repeatedly wiped sweat with a rag, "Dean! Something's wrong, something's wrong! The Dean of Jialan Academy is here again."
Dongfang Min'er couldn't help but frown, "Didn't I already send him away? Don't mind him."
Vice Dean: "No, he's different this time because he brought an Emperor-level expert!"
Dongfang Min'er couldn't help but stand up, her brow furrowed, and opened the door, "Where is he now?"
The Vice Dean replied truthfully, "That Emperor-level expert is accompanying Dean Jialan inside the academy!"
Dongfang Min'er sighed, "What must come will come. Emperor Ming, you should leave first. I can handle this."
Ming Zhi Tian was a little curious, "Is an Emperor-level expert very strong?"
Dongfang Min'er pursed her lips, "Compared to you..."
The Vice Dean was still shaken, "They are incredibly strong. In the entire Xiugu Realm, no one is their match! Unless... unless there is an Emperor-level expert who can contend with them!"
"Shut up!" Dongfang Min'er scolded him, "Do you know who you're talking to?!"
The Vice Dean thought Dongfang Min'er was reprimanding him for interrupting her earlier, "I'm sorry, Dean. It won't happen again."
