I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Ning Ruan heard the sound of breaking air.

She didn't turn on the video this time.

But through the sound, it seemed as if he could see Vice President Yang exerting his spiritual power to the extreme and flying through the air.

But after a moment, the voice of Vice President Yang was heard again in the sound transmission talisman.

"The Xuanshui Clan and the Shadow Clan are about to capture Ning Ruan. Soon all the races will know that she has a magical weapon."

"She's quite courageous. She didn't even run away at this point. She even managed to capture the Xuanshui Clan Elder and the Shadow City Lord."

"I can't take care of it anymore. This is too big a matter. What should we do?"

"Calm down." Another calm voice followed, "Have some tea?"

"It's already this late, and you still have the mood to drink tea? Ning Ruan is about to die outside." Vice President Yang was furious.

The only other person who could remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis was the dean of Qingyun Academy.

Seeing that Vice President Yang didn't want to drink, he poured himself a glass.

Take a small sip.

His lifeless eyes closed slightly.

There was no ripple in the sound:

"Ning Ruan, you captured the Shadow City Lord and the Xuanshui Clan elder?"

"Yes." Ning Ruan responded, "I didn't provoke them. They were the first to attack. They showed no respect for martial ethics and bullied the weak."

The other party took action first, and the dean believed it.

But he felt that he couldn't believe one-sided words about whether Ning Ruan had offended anyone.

Ning Ruan's mouth makes it so easy to offend people.

"Are they with you now? Are they still alive?" asked the dean.

Ning Ruan: "It's better to be alive."

Dean: "..."

He was silent for a moment.

Throughout the entire process, she never questioned the fact that a cultivator at the middle level of the Ninth Realm claimed that she had captured the lord of a city in a large eternal domain.

He didn't even ask her about the process of arresting people.

He just said, "Just catch me, can you leave now?"

"Leaving what?" Vice Dean Yang's sarcastic voice followed, "They said they found a small remnant world over there, and she wants to go take a look."

"That's fine." The dean said, "The space in the Small Remnant Realm is unstable. They don't dare to fight inside. As long as you don't face them, you won't be in danger."

"Old man, do you want to listen to what you're saying?" Vice Dean Yang glared. "Let's not even talk about whether she can still enter the Small Remnant Realm. Even if she can, she will face siege from all races the moment she comes out."

"Dean Yang, it's not that pessimistic." Ning Ruan's tone rose slightly, "Don't they just want the immortal weapon? There's only one immortal weapon, so it's okay to let them snatch it away."

Her tone was light.

If you ignore the word "immortal weapon", Vice President Yang thinks what she said makes sense.

But that is a magical weapon!

Just give it to them like this???

"You're right. We can do this if necessary." The dean said slowly, "At all times, protect yourself first."

“…” Ning Ruan felt that the dean might have misunderstood.

She said let them grab it.

But not for them.

If she doesn't want to give it, then no one can get it.

At worst, I can find a way to destroy it.

If she wants to give it to me, it can be a magical weapon. What's the harm in giving it to me?

Without further explanation, Ning Ruan still remembered the issue that concerned her more:

"Then those who came here to discuss cooperation with the Sound Transmission Note..."

"Don't worry about that. Just take care of yourself first!" Vice President Yang said again in a very bad tone, "This time, the imperial court sent people to negotiate."

"Because they considered you would definitely cause trouble, the court specially sent Li Mu to escort you."

"Who knew you could get into trouble so quickly?"

"As long as you're not here, Li Mu will be fine. He doesn't have any magical weapon on him, so those guys won't fight him to the death."

After hearing this, Ning Ruan felt much more relieved.

To be precise, you can feel relieved when you hear the name Li Mu.

She didn't know how strong Li Mu was, but even if she couldn't beat him, she could definitely run away.

Even the Shadow Clan's ultimate goal was just to snatch the magic weapon from her.

Rather than actually going to war with the human race.

I talked to the dean for a few more words.

Only after confirming that the dean really didn't seem to be in a hurry did Ning Ruan put away the sound transmission note.

In the Red Maple Courtyard of Qingyun Academy.

The dean returned the sound transmission note.

Vice Dean Yang still glared at him fiercely, "What on earth are you thinking? As long as Ning Ruan doesn't return to the spirit world, they will not let her go."

"If she wants to go back, she will go back naturally." The dean took a sip of tea slowly.

"Don't you think it's good to let her make a fuss?"

Vice President Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I lose my life, it's fine?"

"Why not let them have a try?" The dean put down the teacup in his hand.

Vice President Yang rolled his eyes in anger. "Do you think I don't feel aggrieved? But what's the point of feeling aggrieved? Letting her cause trouble is certainly refreshing, but how can she come back?"

"That's an immortal weapon. Even if the destiny of the ten major races dared to go out with an immortal weapon, they would become the target of public criticism and be besieged!"

"But at least, no race dares to take action openly, right?" The dean looked at him.

But those lifeless eyes seemed not to be looking at him.

After Vice President Yang left.

The dean still stood quietly in the Red Maple Courtyard.

Look up at the sky.

Holding the teacup in his hand, he took a sip.

"What do you want to do?"

In the air, an old voice sounded suddenly.

The voice was very faint and slightly hoarse, and each word was spoken with a slight sluggishness.

It was like a rock that had been silent for eternity began to rub and roll for the first time.

There was no emotion in his tone, no joy or anger, no surprise, only a calmness that was almost indifferent.

The dean smiled. "What can I do? It's just that a disciple of the academy might be in danger. Since I already know she's in danger, I naturally have to go and save her."

"You can't go."

The voice sounded again, a little smoother than before, but the same unchanging indifference remained.

Every word that fell seemed to bear an invisible weight on this small courtyard.

But the entire Qingyun Academy seemed to be unable to hear this sound.

It did not cause any reaction.

The dean's smile remained unchanged, and the fingers holding the teacup didn't even tremble.

"Why not? As the dean of Qingyun Academy, it's my duty to rescue my disciples when they're in trouble. Isn't that natural?"

"Or, can you help me save me?"

The voices in the air fell silent.

He didn't speak for a long time.

Just when the dean thought the other party would not speak again, the voice sounded in his ears again.

"He's the child of destiny, why do I need you to save him?"

"They have their own destiny."

The dean has heard this sentence countless times.

From the mouths of those seniors who have never appeared in public and have lived for who knows how many years.

I've heard too much.

The smile on his face finally faded slowly.

The fingers holding the teacup tightened unconsciously, and the knuckles turned slightly pale.

His lifeless eyes were still looking towards the sky.

He was silent for a moment, his voice much deeper and hoarser than before, each word seemed to be squeezed out from his chest with great difficulty:

"The elders said they couldn't be saved, that it was their fate..."

He paused, and the suppressed trembling at the corner of his mouth turned into a very faint yet complex smile.

"Then why did you save me in the first place?"

"Since you hate fate, you should let me die."

"After all... I am also destiny, right?"
