What else could the old man say? The headmaster was protecting Qin Shuxue and sending more people to her. Was he guarding against the monster or against him? He had no choice but to suppress his anger for the time being and let it go.

Ju Jifeng was smiling, but he was cursing in his heart. He walked away for a while, intending to let the matter go. How could someone who colluded with a demon risk his life to save people on the battlefield? This was not how an undercover agent worked.

Yu Feiling patted her skirt and got up from the ground. What happened to the Situ family? Tell me, why are you silent? Who will tell her this shocking news?

Situ Xiayan was obviously in a bad mood, tears were welling up in her eyes, and she tilted her head back to prevent them from falling out. When she saw Yu Feiling, she immediately turned around to prevent her from seeing her, and walked out the door.

Yu Feiling would never quarrel with her in front of the headmaster. She was not stupid. She took Qin Shuxue's arm affectionately and said, "Shuxue, you were not there when I called you to the meeting this morning. Where did you go? I was so worried."

Qin Shuxue was in no mood to explain to Yu Feiling. She patted her head and said, "Go back to class first. I have something else to do so I won't accompany you. Remember to practice well."

After saying that, she went to chase Situ Xiayan. For the first time, Yu Feiling was not angry. She even pointed at Qin Shuxue and asked about the secret history of the Situ family.

Situ Xiayan was trying hard to control her emotions. When Qin Shuxue chased her and talked to her, she answered calmly without even a gasp. She even comforted Qin Shuxue not to take this shit to heart. She is truly a heroine.

"But Xia Yan, don't you want to take the headmaster as your master? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort if you leave now?"

Hearing this, Situ Xiayan seemed to weigh in her mind whether it was more important to worship the headmaster as her teacher or not to cry, as if there was nothing to weigh. She immediately turned around and went to find the headmaster.

Are you going to wipe the tears off your face? They are all flowing out, brother. Qin Shuxue followed Situ Xiayan closely, and the two of them walked past Yu Feiling without any reaction.

Ju Jifeng was waiting for Baili Zhaoyang to report the situation to him. He was really startled by Situ Xiayan coming over. He still put on the posture of the head of the sect and said, "Situ Xiayan, what can I do for you?"

"Reporting to the headmaster, yesterday Qin Shuxue and I accepted the highest level mission and killed the mutant monster."

Oh, this is to ask for praise, Ju Jifeng smiled and said: "Not bad, you have achieved such an achievement in your second year, your future is really limitless."

Qin Shuxue originally wanted to explain that she did nothing, but from the look on the Sect Leader's face, he probably knew that he was a waste, so he shut up with a clear conscience.

Situ Xiayan bit her lip and said, "I have been practicing hard recently, and I can control the whip better. It is not the same as before."

Ju Jifeng didn't understand what he meant. If he was asked to give a poem appreciation, he could fully understand the author's thoughts, but he couldn't guess what a woman was thinking. He nodded and continued to praise: "Keep up the good work, you will achieve greater success."

"Master, am I qualified to be your disciple now?" After Situ Xiayan finished speaking, two tears rolled out of her eyes. She stood there stubbornly looking at Ju Jifeng. As proud as she was, she asked such a question, and it seemed that she was really heartbroken.

Ju Jifeng was stunned for a moment and exclaimed. It was true that he liked this child, although his ability and qualifications were not as good as Hengli's, but he really couldn't accept someone from the Situ family. After all, he was the head of a sect, and there were many things that he couldn't just consider for himself. Protecting Situ Xiayan like this was already extremely risky, how could he continue to make mistakes?

Before Ju Jifeng could say anything, Hua Rudong came over and patted him on the shoulder. Although he didn't do anything else, it was obvious that he was hinting to Ju Jifeng not to do this.

Ju Jifeng touched Situ Xiayan's head reluctantly: "The headmaster can't teach you well. Don't waste your high talent. I think Lin Yi is not bad, why don't you become his disciple?"

Seeing that she was rejected again, Situ Xiayan lowered her head, hummed inaudibly, and said with difficulty: "Thank you for your concern, Master. As for becoming your disciple, I have no other ideas at the moment. I will try hard for a while."

Qin Shuxue didn't quite understand why everyone wanted to worship the headmaster as their master. The headmaster looked like a literary man, and he was different from serious people like them. I'm afraid they couldn't even chat with each other. And why did the headmaster reject Situ Xiayan several times? Could it be related to the Situ family? As far as she knew, the Situ family was not a noble family.

But Situ Xiayan didn't want to talk, and she was too embarrassed to ask, so she patted her back gently. Situ Xiayan didn't need her comfort, so she pushed her hand away and said, "I'm fine. Shuxue, I'll be fine by myself for a while."

Qin Shuxue looked at Situ Xiayan's receding figure and looked around worriedly for a while until Ying Yong caught up.

"Shuxue, it's not that I won't speak up for you, it's just that this matter is very sensitive. If I speak out, I will have to represent the position of the royal family. I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will make a big fuss about this. It's not that I don't want to help you on purpose."

"I know. And the head didn't want to punish me in the first place, so I'll be fine. Fortunately, Xia Yan is also fine."

"Well... the headmaster is protecting her, but it's hard to say about other sects. When the sect competition starts, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be people with ulterior motives who will attack her. The headmaster is determined not to accept her as a disciple, so I hope he can protect her."

Qin Shuxue frowned. Just because she killed Wukong, she would be restricted in everything she did from now on. Situ Xiayan might as well live a comfortable life in prison. Thinking of this, Qin Shuxue began to feel guilty. She didn't know that a casual thing would lead to such serious consequences.

Ying Yong probably knew what Qin Shuxue was thinking, and patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, we will protect her too. I'll tell you in secret, if the sect can't accommodate Situ Xiayan, our royal family will still welcome her to work for us."

Qin Shuxue calmed down a bit and scolded with a smile: "You are just thinking about stealing other people's talents. You have dirty minds when playing tactics."

"Don't you know that my heart is not dirty?"

"Shut up right there." Qin Shuxue was really fed up with this psychopath who could go crazy at any time. She was really afraid that the next sentence he would say would be something like "You are all in my heart".

Ying Yong immediately stopped talking about this matter and changed the subject, "That old man doesn't like you. Don't let him catch you, or he might use force against you."

Qin Shuxue hummed. She knew it without being reminded, but she felt that she had no leverage. Could it be that something like a poor performance on the exam would also be used to talk about it... That would be hard to guard against.

The two of them stood there in silence at the same time. Why do they have to face so many troubles when they go to school to cultivate immortality? Compared with this, modern times seem to be much better. At least they won’t lose their lives.
