Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

After a night of practice, everyone was refreshed and energetic the next day, as if the little incident from the previous day had never happened. They continued their studies and training in an orderly manner, following their usual rhythm. After training, Chu Qiuchi and his teammates all received a message from the dean, inviting them to his office for a chat. The group exchanged surprised glances.

Chu Qiuchi guessed, "They sent a Fetion message to each of us. Could it be that there's some team activity they want us to participate in?"

Puyang Minghui responded, "Team activities? I haven't heard of any team activities recently. Isn't this year's team activity the Imperial Academy Tournament at the end of July? Are you contacting us so early?"

Chu Yichen looked puzzled: "The Imperial Capital Academy Tournament?"

Puyang Minghui explained, "Yes, it's because the Seed Class was established last year, so the two colleges decided to hold a college competition at the end of July this year to test our learning results. This news has not been announced to the public yet; I only heard about it from my grandfather a couple of days ago."

Nalan Xingyao frowned and said suspiciously, "That's still almost three months away. Why are they calling us over so early? Something doesn't seem right!"

Chu Yichen waved his hand, interrupting everyone's speculation: "Forget it, stop guessing here, let's just go and see for ourselves!" So, filled with doubt and curiosity, the group went to the dean's office to find out what was going on.

As soon as Chu Qiuchi stepped into the dean's office, her gaze fell on Chu Siyuan, who should have been in Xiyue City. She and Chu Yichen quickly walked up to Chu Siyuan, and Chu Qiuchi asked with a surprised tone, "Dad, why did you suddenly come? You didn't even tell us beforehand. Did you want to give us a surprise?"

Chu Siyuan smiled, his eyes full of pride: "Dad was only notified at the last minute and didn't plan to give you any surprises, but you gave me a surprise! Haha, my daughter is really amazing!" Chu Qiuchi was a little confused by this sudden praise.

At this moment, a disdainful snort came from the side: "Hmph, as expected, an ill-mannered wild girl!" Upon hearing such remarks, a cold glint flashed in Chu Siyuan's eyes, but he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and replied calmly: "Your evaluation of a child is so harsh; I'm afraid your own manners are not even worthy of being a model for others."

Chu Qiuchi's gaze finally shifted to the other side of the dean's office, where she was surprised to find the chubby boy she had "educated" yesterday also present. This chubby boy actually had the audacity to call his parents for backup; it seemed yesterday's lesson hadn't been learned enough for him! She thought to herself, this chubby boy's shamelessness is as impressive as his physique.

Then, she noticed a distinguished-looking young man standing next to Nalan Xingyao; he was clearly her father. Chu Qiuchi thought to herself, "Oh no, both sets of parents are here now, and the atmosphere has suddenly become serious." The arrival of the chubby boy's parents made her realize that his background might be quite extraordinary.

However, the girls who were bullied yesterday did not show up here. This made Chu Qiuchi think that this chubby boy was not only shameless but also clever and evasive. He only brought his parents but dared not let the victimized girls show up.

With everyone present, Dean Puyang began to introduce the distinguished guests in an orderly manner: "This is Prince Qiongcang, the head of the Yue family, and also Qi Sixuan's uncle." He pointed to the dignified man next to the chubby boy, who nodded proudly in acknowledgment.

Then, Dean Puyang turned to Nalan Xingyao and continued to introduce her: "This is the head of the Nalan family, Xingyao's father." The head of the Nalan family nodded in acknowledgment.

Finally, Dean Puyang turned to Chu Siyuan and introduced him, "This is the city lord of Xiyue City, the father of Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen." Chu Siyuan, with his usual composure, smiled and nodded to everyone present.

"I've already explained the reason for gathering you all here today via Feixin. Now that the children are all here, we can discuss a solution face-to-face." Dean Puyang's words carried an undeniable air of authority.

Prince Qiongcang arrogantly raised his chin, his voice filled with obvious displeasure: "What else is there to discuss? Look what this wild girl has done to my precious child! She should be expelled, and those who stood by and did nothing should also be punished!"

Puyang Yucheng rolled his eyes dismissively and coldly replied, "Yue Qiongcang, do you think this is your old man's Holy Light Noble Academy, where you can do whatever you want? Even your father wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of me! I gathered everyone here at your request to discuss a solution, not for you to make unreasonable demands of me. As for the truth, you know it very well in your heart. If you don't, I can have the children recount the events to you again."

Prince Qiongcang blushed with embarrassment at Puyang Yucheng's words. He angrily retorted, "What facts are there to speak of? They clearly beat my child for no reason. Shouldn't they be punished?"

Chu Qiuchi stepped forward without hesitation, looking directly at Prince Qiongcang, and said firmly, "Prince Qiongcang, I was the one who made the move, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. The reason I did this was not without reason, but because your child bullied another girl, and I don't think I did anything wrong."

After hearing Chu Qiuchi's words, Chu Siyuan also stepped forward. His voice was calm but carried an undeniable power: "Prince Qiongcang, I would like to ask, does acting bravely for a just cause violate any law of the Empire? If there is such a regulation, I really don't know. Please enlighten me."

Hearing her father Chu Siyuan's righteous and dignified retort, Chu Qiuchi almost burst out laughing. She quietly took Chu Siyuan's hand and secretly gave him a thumbs up. Chu Siyuan returned her a reassuring look, as if to say, "Don't worry, I'm here."

At this moment, the Nalan family head, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke to Nalan Xingyao, saying, "Xingyao, you did something wrong." Just when everyone thought he was going to reprimand Nalan Xingyao, he changed the subject and continued, "How could you let your classmate go up and act bravely while you stood by and watched? I have to criticize you for this!"

Nalan Xingyao was taken aback by her father's sudden "criticism," and then silently replied, "I know I was wrong, Dad!"

Faced with a barrage of rebuttals, Prince Qiongcang's face turned extremely ugly. His voice revealed anger and resentment: "No matter what, beating my child like this is your fault. You must give me a satisfactory explanation, otherwise, I will never let this matter rest." The chubby boy beside him seemed to regain some confidence upon hearing his uncle's words, and a smug expression reappeared on his face, as if with a powerful backer, he could do whatever he wanted again.

With a barely perceptible smile, the head of the Nalan family said in a calm yet sarcastic tone, "What's wrong? Is the Yue family short of money again? Even medical expenses are a problem? If that's the case, then I'll pay for the child's medical expenses. Is that alright?"

Faced with the sarcastic and condescending tone of the Nalan family head, Prince Qiongcang's face turned ashen, and his voice trembled with anger: "You...you don't respect the royal family at all?"

A clear and confident female voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Oh? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. When did our Yue family become a representative of the royal family?" Everyone present turned their gazes toward the doorway. A woman stood there, dressed in an exquisite white magic robe, trimmed with delicate gold, highlighting her extraordinary status. Her features were stunning, her skin as smooth as jade, and her eyes exuded an undeniable air of authority, making her appear even more holy and unapproachable against the backdrop of the white robe.

She walked calmly into the office, saying, "I heard someone hit my son? I came here specifically to see what happened!" Then, she called to the chubby boy, "Qi Sixuan, come here!"

However, upon hearing that familiar voice, the chubby boy trembled as if doused with cold water, appearing extremely frightened. His movements were hesitant and his steps were sluggish, clearly showing both awe and fear towards this unexpected woman—his mother.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Prince Qiongcang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he blurted out, "Why are you here?"

The woman chuckled softly, her voice tinged with self-mockery: "What, my son got beaten up, can't I, as his mother, even bother to check on him?"

Prince Qiongcang immediately replied, "I can handle this matter!"

The woman, however, remained unconvinced and continued, "You think you can handle this? Is this how you handle it? Are you planning to use your power to intimidate people?"

Then, the woman ignored Prince Qiongcang and turned to Qi Sixuan, her tone stern: "You're becoming more and more capable. You haven't learned anything else, but you've certainly mastered the art of bullying others!" After saying that, she turned to Dean Puyang, her face apologetic: "Dean Puyang, I'm so sorry. I haven't educated this child well, and he's caused you trouble!"

Puyang Yucheng waved his hand as he looked at the newcomer, indicating that he did not mind: "You are too kind, Holy Maiden. It is nothing to do with children playing around." Hearing the Dean address her as "Holy Maiden," Chu Qiuchi suddenly realized the identity of the woman in front of him—she was the Holy Maiden of the Magic Temple, Yue Linlang.

With a serious expression, Yue Linlang took Qi Sixuan's hand and walked to the center of the office. Her eyes were sharp as she asked, "Tell me, what 'good deeds' have you done! Let me, as your mother, know about them." Under her piercing gaze, the chubby Qi Sixuan immediately became extremely obedient, standing aside, silent and trembling, not daring to utter a sound.

Seeing his silence, Yue Linlang turned to Chu Qiuchi, her tone calm yet authoritative: "You're the little girl who hit my son, right? Can you tell me the details of what happened? Don't worry, I'm always reasonable!" Chu Qiuchi wasn't intimidated; she calmly recounted the events to Yue Linlang. When she mentioned the chubby boy bullying the girl, Qi Sixuan, standing beside her, turned pale, almost bursting into tears, his body trembling uncontrollably.

As Chu Qiuchi narrated, Yue Linlang's coldness grew increasingly pronounced, as if it could freeze the surrounding air. No sooner had Chu Qiuchi finished speaking than Yue Linlang turned her head, her gaze sharp as she looked at Qi Sixuan, her tone laced with sarcasm: "Well, well, you're quite something!"

She then bowed gracefully and solemnly to everyone present: "I apologize to everyone for my child's inappropriate behavior. It was indeed his fault, and he deserved to be treated this way. Thank you all for coming today. I will personally present a gift to express my apology later."

Everyone else stood up and nodded slightly to show their respect for Yue Linlang. Chu Siyuan said in a gentle and sincere tone, "My child did indeed go too far. I apologize to Your Majesty on her behalf!"

Yue Linlang shook her head, turned her gaze to Chu Qiuchi, and said gently, "Little girl, you did the right thing. Your courage deserves praise." She gently patted Chu Qiuchi's head, and then said to everyone, "Everyone, please forgive my rudeness today. I will take the child back now. Dean Puyang, I will send him over in a few days."

Puyang Yucheng nodded in agreement, while Prince Qiongcang seemed to want to argue, but under Yue Linlang's unquestionable gaze, he ultimately chose to remain silent and left the office with her.
