Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

"Come out," Little White called out to the sky, "May I ask where the Venerable One comes from?"

"Don't ask me where I come from. I'm just here waiting for the emperor."

Tang En smiled wryly to himself. Since the other party had said that, how could he keep pressing the matter? So he nodded and said, "Alright, I believe you, Venerable One."

Xiao Bai returned to his room without saying much, and Tang En also left. Although he really wanted to know who the other party was, the thought of this emperor gave him a terrible headache.

He had previously been entangled with a princess, then with two phoenix princesses, and now with a sub-saint level Venerable. He didn't know who else was involved or what might happen next, but he couldn't just kick them out of the academy.

He thought that it might have been possible before, but now the emperor himself might not be willing to leave, and the academy would be unable to force him to leave.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed, then laughed in exasperation, muttering to himself, "The academy hasn't been this lively in a long time."

On this day, Xiaobai was in her room when Lixue came to find her, wanting to know if the Emperor had returned. She found Xiaobai alone and was about to leave after saying a few words when Xiaobai called her back.

"It's clear, Princess, that you like the Emperor very much, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Lixue lowered her head and said sadly, "So what? I hurt him, and now I just want his forgiveness, but I guess he won't forgive me."

"You women just love to overthink things. How do you know he won't?" Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

Lixue found this strange. Wasn't the other person a woman?

Looking into that gaze, she was certain that the other person was not a maid, but an elder, like a relative of the emperor.

She asked hesitantly, "I know you are not the emperor's maid. May I ask how I should address you?"

"Hehe, just call me Xiaobai, or if that's not okay, you can call me sister."

Even though Xiaobai had already turned into human form, she didn't want others to call her old, even though she was thousands of years old.

Lixue forced a smile, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Xiao Bai smiled, pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "Why should we care about a form of address? Let's talk about you. I know that although the Emperor's injury was not related to you, it was indeed caused by you."

"If the emperor had no feelings for you at all, he would have killed you three siblings long ago, given his abilities. Although he later had murderous intent, it was only because your two imperial brothers forced him to do so."

“I also know that you are an imperial princess and can only stand against the emperor. Even now, the emperor may still be angry with you, but he will never see you as an enemy. He just needs to calm down his anger.”

"Think about it, with you pressing so hard, and considering what your uncle has done, and even his desire to kill the emperor, anyone would be enraged."

"In addition, he is the kind of person who is fearless and prone to extremes. I know him well. As long as others don't provoke him, he will never provoke them, let alone kill them, even if they commit heinous crimes. He is the kind of person who doesn't care about things that don't concern him."

Baihu had her own reasons for acting this way. She thought of Plum Blossom Manor, which had been a single-lineage manor for generations, and wondered what had happened to the young masters of the manor in each generation.

So there, whether she was an elder or a maid, the manor was like her own home, and the emperor was like her family and her junior. She had to think about the future of the manor.

She heard the Emperor say he wanted to rebuild the manor for another reason: she actually saw the shadow of one of the many young mistresses of the manor in Lixue.

However, she felt it was somewhat impossible, but she liked Lixue more in her heart. As for Princess Li Yili, she was too scheming. With thousands of years of experience, although she could not transform into human form before, she had become a spirit, so she was not bad at judging people.

At this point, the princess asked, "Do you mean I should wait?"

"Whether you wait or persevere, and no matter how the emperor treats you, believe that he will forgive you one day. Once he gets over his own hurdle, he will accept you."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaobai." After hearing what the other person said, Lixue understood. She bowed and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"Go back now, and stop overthinking."

"Okay, then I'll be going, Sister Xiaobai," Lixue said with a smile.

She looked relaxed; Xiaobai's words had washed away much of her bitterness.

Xiao Bai became annoyed by Li Yili's frequent visits, so he left the room and wandered around the academy.

Because of her spiritual power, she has an appearance of fair skin and delicate bones, and is not tall, like a girl from a humble family. Any man who sees her would be drooling.

The academy was not short of audacious men, and there were quite a few frivolous and reckless ones. Regardless of the relationship between this woman and the emperor, people would often approach Xiaobai to chat her up.

At first, Xiao Bai was extremely tolerant. Then she heard a rumor that the emperor was involved. It was said that a prince of the empire liked Princess Li Yili and challenged the emperor to a duel to decide who would have the princess.

She was a little confused after hearing this, so she asked someone, which attracted even more people, all of them men.

Frustrated, she took action. These students were no match for her and were easily defeated, receiving only a minor punishment.

Everyone realized that this beautiful woman was actually so powerful, and suddenly remembered that she was the emperor's maid.

In the blink of an eye, everyone scattered and fled, no one having the mind to act frivolously towards Xiaobai anymore.

A few days later, Wang Mu finally returned to the academy and was overjoyed to see Xiao Bai.

He went to find three disciples, and after teaching them, he was very satisfied with them. The three made rapid progress; two were martial arts fanatics, and the other was exceptionally intelligent.

The third disciple, Qi Xi, was not only a martial arts fanatic but also clever. He had changed from his former playful self and, when he left Wang Mu, he admired his young master.

When he arrived at the Gilmon Mountain Village, he found his senior brothers and sisters. After talking with them and seeing his eldest brother's martial arts skills and his second sister's extraordinary techniques, he was even more impressed by his cheap master and bowed down to him.

When their master arrived, the three of them became even more eager to learn martial arts. However, Wang Mu wanted the three of them to find a place, so he told his three disciples about rebuilding the manor.

When the three heard that their master wanted to build a city and Plum Blossom Manor, they were not only shocked but also overjoyed. Who wouldn't want their sect to have a powerful presence?

They also heard their master say that if the city were built well, it could withstand an army of millions. The three disciples believed their master's words without the slightest doubt.

As for the money, Wang Mu said he would find a way, as long as the three of them could find a place to build a city and a village.

"What? You called yourself my maid in front of others? Xiaobai, don't tease me like that!" Wang Mu exclaimed in the room.

Xiao Bai looked at him teasingly, "You're calling me Xiao Bai now, and you're the one who gave me my name."

"It was just a random choice at the time. We didn't know what name to pick. We couldn't exactly call him something like 'White Tiger,' could we?"

Xiao Bai smiled and asked, "If I don't tell others I'm your maid, what should I call you?"
