The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Ling Yan'er took two steps to make room at the door for the person behind her.

Xie Jingyun saw Xie Hanshan at the door and threw herself into his arms in surprise: "Grandpa!"

Xie Hanshan picked up the person and carried him into the room. There was only a bed and a wardrobe inside, as well as a single table with a chair, but no bedside table.

The room was not big, and a corner was set aside as a toilet. When I opened the window, I could see the woods in the thick fog outside.

Once several grown men stood in the room, there was no place to sit, making the room seem even smaller.

Ling Yan'er pinched Dongfang Zichu with a guilty conscience and said, "That's why I said we should talk in the classroom."

Hua Qingfeng then simply pulled Luo Xuhan out: "I'll take him to visit the academy."

He followed because he was afraid that Ling Yan'er would be bullied. After all, he lived in the teacher's dormitory at the beginning. He didn't expect the dormitory conditions here to be so bad. There was not even a reception room.

Although there are many people living in the student dormitory, at least the space inside is very spacious.

After Hua Qingfeng and Luo Xuhan went out and closed the door, Ling Yan'er sat on the bed, and Xie Hanshan also pulled out a chair with one hand and sat down with his granddaughter in his arms.

He ignored Ling Yan'er and asked his granddaughter first, "Why are you here?"

Although what he wanted to ask more was how his granddaughter still looked nine years old after being missing for ten years, even when he held Xie Jingyun in his arms and felt her bones, he found that she was still only nine years old.

Before coming, he even thought that someone might be impersonating his Jingyun. After all, he hadn't seen Xie Jingyun for ten years, and she should be a grown-up girl now. But Xie Jingyun looked exactly the same as when she disappeared, and he could tell at a glance that this was the real thing.

After all, if you want to find a fake one, you might as well find a 19-year-old girl. After all, it is well known that Xie Jingyun disappeared for ten years when she was nine years old, so how could she be a nine-year-old?

He would ask clearly what happened in the past ten years and why Xie Jingyun's bone age had not changed at all.

Xie Jingyun had no idea what was going through her grandfather's mind, so she replied, "When the secret realm collapsed, a voice told me that if I signed a contract with it, I could survive. I agreed, and when I opened my eyes, I was outside the academy."

"What contract?" Xie Hanshan asked.

So Xie Jingyun skipped the missing ten years and came directly here? That's why her bone age is still nine?

Xie Hanshan didn't know what to feel in his heart. He was happy that his granddaughter had not suffered any hardship during these ten years, but he also felt sorry for her stagnation during these ten years.

Xie Jingyun shook her head: "The contract only states that once you arrive at the academy, you must obey the dean's arrangements in everything."

Xie Hanshan continued calmly, "How long has the contract been signed?"

There is no time in cultivation, he can wait.

"No." Xie Jingyun hugged Xie Hanshan affectionately: "I almost thought I would never see grandpa again."

If you don’t say it, it will last a lifetime.

Xie Hanshan was unwilling to wait.

Xie Hanshan's face darkened as he said to Ling Yan'er, "I wonder if the dean could cancel Jingyun's contract. I'll consider it a favor to you. If you need anything, feel free to ask."

What can a nine-year-old do? How can it compare to the favor of a fusion-stage person? A smart person would know what to do.

Xie Hanshan looked at Ling Yan'er with unquestionable determination in his eyes.

But Ling Yan'er didn't care about his thoughts. She just spread her hands and said, "Do you think I have the ability to sign a contract with her? Or maybe you can check it out yourself?"

Although Xie Jingyun is only nine years old and seems to have no cultivation now, it is impossible for Xie Hanshan's granddaughter to have no cultivation.

However, even Lan Lian, who was in the same fusion stage, was willing to sign the contract, so Ling Yan'er was not worried at all that Xie Hanshan would be able to terminate Xie Jingyun's contract.

Even if it could be lifted, it would just be like letting a nine-year-old child go home.

After all, it was Ling Yan'er who saved Xie Jingyun, so Xie Hanshan couldn't just not show any appreciation, right?

Xie Hanshan is such a big shot in the fusion stage, it is impossible that he would not even give two hundred spirit stones to his granddaughter's savior.

No matter how she calculated it, she would not suffer any loss, so Ling Yan'er watched Xie Hanshan's investigation leisurely.

Xie Hanshan investigated for a while and found that Xie Jingyun had no injuries on her body, no signs of a contract, and no cultivation.

At first he thought that Xie Jingyun had no cultivation because she was injured, but after the investigation, his face became even darker. She was not injured, but she had no cultivation. Even Xie Jingyun's original three spiritual roots were not detected.

No matter how you look at it now, Xie Jingyun is just an ordinary person, the kind of ordinary person who doesn't even have the opportunity to practice.

He looked at Ling Yan'er with a thousand thoughts in his mind: "I want to bring Jingyun back to Penglai Mountain. The dean shouldn't stop me, right?"

Ling Yan'er shook her head and said nothing. Xie Jingyun said, "I have signed a contract with the academy and cannot leave."

Xie Hanshan asked, "Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back to the courtyard where you live in Penglai Mountain?"

Xie Jingyun didn't know how to explain, so she just said, "I can't leave the academy."

Xie Hanshan was about to speak again when Ling Yan'er explained, "Anyone who signs a contract cannot leave the school. It's the rules of the contract, not my unwillingness."

She wouldn't stop it. Wouldn't it be better to let everyone go out and help her recruit students?

Just as Xie Hanshan was about to say something else, Ling Yan'er continued, "I have no objection if you want to forcibly take Xie Jingyun away, but if anything happens to her, I will not be responsible."

Xie Hanshan was reminded by Ling Yan'er, and he also knew that the consequences of violating the contract might be beyond his ability to bear, so he didn't dare to gamble.

Ling Yan'er didn't care. After all, if she had the first one, then if someone wanted to leave later, she would have another negative example.

Xie Hanshan understood Ling Yan'er's hint and asked, "Then why did you ask me to come here?"

It's impossible that the other party is just kind enough to let their family be reunited, right?

Ling Yan'er said, "Xie Jingyun is nine years old now, and we can't arrange anything for her to do at the academy. My idea is to let her enroll next semester, and you will pay her tuition and miscellaneous fees. A total of 589 low-grade spirit stones per semester, including accommodation, cafeteria, four sets of school uniforms, and all tuition and miscellaneous fees."

Xie Hanshan looked at Ling Yan'er, thinking in his heart about the truth in Ling Yan'er's words.

Ling Yan'er ignored him and continued, "If you don't want our teachers to teach her, that's fine too. But you can find someone or do it yourself. At least teach her until she reaches adulthood. After that, she will need to work for our academy when she grows up."

"After all, she's still alive because she signed a contract with our academy at the critical moment of her life. Our academy isn't doing charity, so it's only right for her to do something, right?"

Ling Yan'er's clear and coherent words left Xie Hanshan speechless. He did try to threaten Ling Yan'er with the pressure of the fusion period, but Ling Yan'er did not react at all. The humanoid and pet in Ling Yan'er's hands just glanced at him.
