"Dean Leng is too modest. Tianshui Academy is one of the most excellent elemental academies on the continent, with numerous students and countless good teachers. Our Peach Garden Academy, on the other hand, has only a dozen students in total, and only two new disciples with ice and water Spirits are from your esteemed academy. It's truly shameful. Even if Dean stays, I'm afraid there will be no place for her to use her skills."
Here, Su Ran's hand seemed to have a peach breeze pushing outwards, gently moving Leng Ci Shuang's icy hand away, and he said lightly.
Since comprehending the Self-Contained Extreme Intent, he had become clear-minded and natural, not allowing Leng Ci Shuang's actions to affect his state of mind.
She is her, and I am I.
How she acts is her own thought, whether it be good or evil.
My principles, my intentions, are all controlled by myself.
"Teacher Su is still too humble. I heard from Bing'er and Yue'er that Peach Garden Academy has the strongest team in the Soul Master Competition. The cultivation methods you taught Bing'er and Yue'er also surpass all the methods at Tianshui Academy."
"I am very optimistic about the future of Peach Garden Academy. I am relieved that Bing'er and Yue'er can acknowledge Teacher Su as their master."
Leng Ci Shuang looked at Su Ran with lingering interest.
Handsome.
This man was truly too handsome.
Just looking at him felt like a pleasure.
It was an appreciation and admiration for the ultimate beauty in the world.
No wonder Bing'er and Yue'er were always thinking of coming to report.
If she had known Su Ran was so exceptionally handsome, she would have been willing to directly hand over the position of Tianshui Academy Dean to Leng Yuehan and apply for a job at Peach Garden Academy herself. To take a step back, even if she couldn't be a teacher, she wouldn't be unable to accept being a disciple~
"Although Peach Garden Academy cannot keep you as a teacher, since Dean Leng is an elder of Bing'er and Yue'er, we still welcome you to visit the academy."
"Really? That's wonderful!"
"I know that the opportunity to enroll in Peach Garden Academy is precious, and Teacher Su certainly wouldn't care about vulgar things like Spirit coins as tuition. Please do not decline this Phoenix Ring, Teacher Su."
"Then, for the rest of our lives, the two girls and I will trouble you greatly~"
Leng Ci Shuang, dressed in an ice phoenix robe, bowed slightly to Su Ran and took out an ice-white phoenix-carved ring. The ring was faintly surrounded by spirit power, possibly a valuable spirit tool.
However, Su Ran found her last two sentences a bit strange...
It didn't sound like she was coming to visit; it sounded more like... she was remarrying and bringing her daughters along?!
...
"Wang Sheng, have your junior sisters' residences been properly arranged?"
After finally stabilizing Leng Ci Shuang, Su Ran found time to check on the new students who had come to report for enrollment.
Wang Sheng stepped forward and replied:
"Teacher, Elder Sister Bing'er and Elder Sister Yue'er's residences have been arranged. However... there are a few other students from the Tianshui team who said they also wanted to see Teacher."
After Wang Sheng finished speaking, five students walked out from the side, looking at Su Ran expectantly:
"Teacher Su, please forgive our abruptness, but seeing the progress of Captain and Yue'er, we are all very envious. Moreover, we have all graduated from Tianshui Academy and really want a new place where we can learn and improve."
"We also want to join Peach Garden Academy and become your students, Teacher Su. Is that possible?"
These five students were none other than the other members of the Tianshui Academy team: Xue Wu, Qiu Ruoshui, Shen Liuyu, Yu Hairou, and Gu Qingbo.
"Have you thought it through clearly?"
Su Ran looked at the five girls with some surprise, but it was also within his expectations, as students from the Plant Academy team who had reported earlier also had similar situations.
"We've all thought it through clearly, otherwise we wouldn't have begged to come with Bing'er and Yue'er. We believe that learning from Teacher Su will allow us to have a brand new beginning," Xue Wu said.
"I greatly appreciate your recognition and trust, but unfortunately, as of now, I already have over ten direct disciples, and most of my energy will be dedicated to nurturing them."
"If you are willing to join Peach Garden Academy, I can keep you, but I can only accept you as registered disciples. Only when your senior brothers and sisters graduate will registered disciples have the opportunity to become true disciples."
"And registered disciples will need to self-study most of the time, with guidance provided by their senior brothers and sisters. What I can teach is only to guide the way."
"Given this, are you still willing to acknowledge me as your master?"
