The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Hua Qingfeng was speechless. Ling Yan'er could be really annoying sometimes.

However, Lan Lian also understood that he had to tell this story today.

"It's very simple. I killed my wife to prove my truth. I am that wife." Lan Lian said.

"Are you done?" Ling Yan'er was shocked.

Lan Lian nodded: "Yes."

Hua Qingfeng looked her up and down and asked, "Are you a woman?"

Lan Lian denied: "No."

Ling Yan'er, who had read all the novels, spoke first: "Does a wife have to be a girl? Wouldn't it be even better if she had a boy as a wife?"

"Hmm?" Hua Qingfeng and Dongfang Zichu both turned their gazes to Ling Yan'er.

Even Lan Lian unconsciously turned his head to look in Ling Yan'er's direction: "You really can't judge a person by his appearance."

"I just read a little too much." Ling Yan'er emphasized, "My sexual orientation and fetishes are all very, very, very normal! I just read a lot more and understand what the fourth love is and what Danmei is..."

Then, under the gazes of the three people, his voice gradually became quieter.

Lan Lian asked curiously, "What is the fourth love? What is Danmei?"

Ling Yan'er met two pairs of curious eyes, and a strong sense of presence, and said with a research-like mindset: "The fourth kind of love is male and female, male and male, female and female, and female and male, and Danmei is male and male."

The three of them looked away, and Ling Yan'er looked at Lan Lian: "So whose wife are you?"

"Which wife?" Lan Lian asked back.

"A man's wife, or a man's wife." Ling Yan'er widened her eyes.

"Man-man." Lan Lian plucked the strings twice.

"Your husband practices the ruthless way, but he wants to kill his wife to prove his way. Then why are you being hunted down?" Ling Yan'er continued to ask.

"Yes, he practices the Way of Mercilessness, but he lied to me that he was actually practicing the Way of the Sword." Lan Lian gritted her teeth, "And... the person he truly loves isn't me! He sealed my memory and lied to me. I was just a tool for him to prove his truth."

"Luckily, my master gave me a life-saving teleportation talisman, which automatically activated after he attacked me, so I was able to survive."

"Did he also destroy your eyes?"

"That's not the case." Lan Lian said, "My eyes were damaged when I was practicing."

"But didn't you say before that you were being hunted because of this zither?" Dongfang Zichu asked.

"Because this zither is a token of our love," Lan Lian said, "If it weren't for this zither, I wouldn't even know him!"

Ling Yan'er digested the story unfolding in these few sentences: "This is the typical wife-chasing crematorium."

"What?" Hua Qingfeng asked, "What crematorium?"

"You don't mean that if he finds out that he loves me, he will ask for my forgiveness, right?" Lan Lian said.

Ling Yan'er looked at Lan Lian's expression and quickly shook her head: "If he doesn't fall for a beauty like you, he'd be blind! He's not worthy of you!"

"You're the first one to say that," Lan Lian said. "When I was with him, everyone said that a blind man like me wasn't worthy of him."

"You are not even worthy of him at the fusion stage. What's his level of cultivation?" Ling Yan'er asked in surprise.

"Mahayana." Lan Lian said.

"Mahayana?!" Hua Qingfeng said in surprise.

"Keep your voice down, it's just Mahayana, what's the big deal?" Ling Yan'er accused, "After Mahayana, isn't it Ascension?"

Dongfang Zichu also said, "Is Mahayana so great? I was also a Mahayana practitioner before."

Lan Lian nodded: "I am not dead yet, so he will never be able to ascend. Therefore, he will definitely find me."

Hua Qingfeng began to list all the Mahayana masters he knew. "The three from Qiantian Sect are definitely not them. After all, I've been the eldest senior brother of the younger generation of Qiantian Sect for nearly twenty years, and I've never seen you. The ones from Zixiao Sect are not either. The Mahayana master from Zixiao Sect has been in seclusion for three hundred years, and their son has already reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage. And one of them is a girl..."

Ling Yan'er listened to him count and still couldn't figure out who Lan Lian's partner was. She sighed and said, "Why is your intelligence so bad?"

"Maybe it's because I'm from the Northern Continent and you're from the Southern Continent?" Lan Lian asked.

Hua Qingfeng shook his head: "Qiantian Sect is in the Southern Continent, but our current school is located closer to the Central Continent."

He glanced at Ling Yan'er, then at Lan Lian, and continued, "But you really don't have to worry about being chased down in this school. I've suspected this before, but the school is actually a semi-secret place. Without a special token, you can't get in."

"How is that possible!" Ling Yan'er was the first to jump out and refute: "How did you fall in if you couldn't get in?"

"It's probably a chance encounter." Hua Qingfeng said, "Besides, even if it's not a secret realm, there are formations everywhere here, so it's hard to be discovered."

Ling Yan'er had no way to refute this. The air wall surrounding the school could prove it. If it wasn't a formation, it would be difficult to explain what it was.

Although he didn't know whether what Hua Qingfeng said was true or not, Lan Lian still decided to stay. After all, the contract had been signed and he really couldn't leave.

"Since it's a school, what do I need to do?" Lan Lian asked Ling Yan'er.

"Since you can still play the piano, then of course you should be a music teacher!" Ling Yan'er said firmly.

"Hmm?" Hua Qingfeng looked at Ling Yan'er.

Ling Yan'er thought about it and decided she couldn't favor one over the other, so she said to Lan Lian, "Since you were able to reach the Fusion Stage before, you must be good at cultivation as well. So I'll give you the cultivation class as well. Everyone will be responsible for two courses, which is quite fair."

Hua Qingfeng withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

Lan Lian gently said yes, then asked Ling Yan'er, "When do the classes start?"

Ling Yan'er took out her class schedule, took a photo of it, and handed it to Lan Lian. "Tomorrow is Sunday, and classes will start the day after tomorrow. Our school follows the schedule, and there will be a bell to remind people to go to and from get out of class at class time."

Lan Lian understood and said, "Okay."

Ling Yan'er took out the key and handed it to Lan Lian, saying, "Since you're a teacher, you can share a dormitory with Hua Qingfeng for now. We can move into a private room when the room is expanded and conditions permit."

"I'm fine with anything." Lan Lian said gently.

After having dinner with Lan Lian, Hua Qingfeng took Lan Lian to familiarize herself with the campus, while Ling Yan'er returned to the dormitory with Dongfang Zichu.

After returning to the dormitory, Dongfang Zichu asked Ling Yan'er, "Is what he said true or false?"

"Everything you said is true," Ling Yan'er confirmed, "but a lot of information has been concealed."

Ling Yan'er noticed that there were long gaps in time, for example, there was a gap of two thousand years between the Qin and Daoist Companion Ceremony, and there was a gap of eight hundred years between the killing of his wife and the attainment of Dao.

It wouldn't be surprising if anything happened during the time in between.

"It was really you who helped Hua Qingfeng recover?" Dongfang Zichu knew that Hua Qingfeng had arrived at school not long before him. After all, the time when Ling Yan'er and Hua Qingfeng returned was also the time when the first batch of students came to school.

"Replacement guaranteed."

"Then why don't you help Lan Lian recover?" Dongfang Zichu asked.
