Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

……

A meticulously planned conspiracy ultimately took a complete turn, and Elder Luo's greed backfired, causing him to suffer the consequences!

"Congratulations to the Dean on your completion of seclusion! Congratulations to Xu Caiwei on becoming the top disciple!"

As everyone's expressions turned complicated, an elder suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly shouted.

Immediately, the others followed suit!

"Reporting to the Dean,"

At this moment, a steward hurried over and reported, "The people from the Dao Temple have arrived ahead of schedule and are now waiting in the main hall!"

Yan Zhanyu was somewhat surprised and pondered, "Has something happened on Nan Yaoxing recently?"

The Dao Palace is high above and never descends to these areas on ordinary days. It only sends people during the triennial competition. Its arrival now must mean something important!

Upon seeing this, Gong Jiuren hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Dean, a few days ago we detected a fluctuation from the underworld. Before we could even react, the Dao Palace had already sent a message to us and Taihua Academy, asking us to search for the Spirit Yin Crystal."

"Elder Xuan Yuan of the Dao Palace even declared that if anyone could find the spiritual yin mineral crystals generated by this fluctuation in the underworld, they could enter the Dao Palace and become his closed-door disciple!"

"I suppose that's why they came."

But Yan Zhanyu frowned slightly and said, "Why would the Dao Palace value a single piece of spirit yin ore crystal so much?"

Each fluctuation in the underworld causes the yin energy to leak out and merge with the yang energy in the mortal realm, forming spiritual yin mineral crystals.

This item may have some useful applications for some special cultivators, but it is not of such great value that the Dao Palace would personally inquire about it and even offer a disciple's place!

"Is there anything special about the fluctuations in that underworld?"

He asked a question.

"No, the fluctuations subsided quickly... but Xu Caiwei unexpectedly received a yang soul that had returned from the underworld."

Gong Jiuren said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhanyu was slightly startled. Oh right, how could he have forgotten about this senior?

Could it be that the Dao Palace came for this senior?

That's very possible. This senior's cultivation is so profound that he might be a powerful figure from the Dao Palace. Therefore, after he appeared in the world, the Dao Palace sensed it and rushed to welcome him.

"I understand, I'll go right away. Jiu Ren, you go and greet the Daoist from the Dao Palace first."

He waved his hand and said, "Caiwei, come with me first."

He needs to ask this senior's opinion first.

Everyone was surprised to see him take Xu Caiwei away; at such a crucial moment, he was still prioritizing Xu Caiwei's needs.

Could it be that Xu Caiwei is more important to him than the adults of the Dao Palace?

Luo Yu's expression changed drastically. If Xu Caiwei revealed that she had stolen credit, wouldn't she lose her spot as a disciple of the Dao Palace?

For a moment, her heart was in turmoil!

……

Enter a secret room.

Yan Zhanyu bowed deeply to Xu Caiwei.

Xu Caiwei was panicked, but Yan Zhanyu had already said:

"Senior, regarding the matter of the Dao Palace, I wonder how this disciple should handle it?"

His gaze respectfully fell upon the scabbard in Xu Caiwei's hand.

Xu Caiwei was stunned, her face full of disbelief!

Dean Yan Zhanyu actually bowed so deeply to the one in his sword sheath, addressing him as "senior"?!

He claims to be a disciple!?

Even how to deal with the Dao Palace requires his opinion?

This is absolutely amazing...

Suddenly, she understood why the dean had stood up for her when she was framed, and even given her an extremely prestigious position in the academy.

It wasn't because she was truly exceptional, but rather... because of him in the scabbard!

Who exactly is he? What kind of ancient fossil did he bring here...?

What happened inside the library?

A flood of questions arose in her mind, and at the same time, her heart began to pound. My God, such a senior was actually explaining the way of the sword to her so kindly in the library...

……

And from within the sword sheath, Li Lan's voice rang out softly:

"I have no connection with the Dao Palace; we can handle this normally."
