Righteous and proper.

Su Yuanqing was drinking his tea alone, teasing the little Maidservant, when he heard some hurried footsteps.

"Master, Eldest Miss requests an audience."

Instantly, the teacup in Su Yuanqing's hand was almost scared out of its wits. "Why is that girl looking for me?"

Experience told him that every time Su Xiruo came to find him, she would not have any good things to do!

Just as he was muttering, Su Xiruo had already entered. "Master, I have something to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Seeing Su Xiruo's serious expression, Su Yuanqing was even more unsure, "Come, let's sit down and talk."

Su Xiruo was not polite at all, he took the opportunity to sit down and went straight to the point: "I heard that in two days, Mercenary Academy will come to the capital to recruit students."

Hearing this, Su Yuanqing looked up at her in astonishment, his heart full of anticipation: "What, Xiruo, do you want to go and register?"

Su Yuanqing had already known about this matter from the start. He had originally planned to have Sumire Xi register with him, but now that something like this had happened, he could only give up.

This matter had caused him to lose all face. He didn't even dare to go out, afraid that he would be laughed at if he saw the other Patriarchs.

But now, Su Xiruo had actually brought this up on her own accord. If she really entered the Mercenary Academy, it could be considered as giving herself face!

"Yes." Su Xiruo did not deny it, "I want to register as the Su Family, is that possible?"

If it were not for the fact that she wanted to register properly, she would not want to take up the Su Clan's name.

"Of course!" Su Yuanqing immediately agreed, he was so excited that he even stood up, "Xi Ruo, with your strength, if you were to register, you would definitely be able to successfully become a student!"

Because of Su Jinxi, the Su Family had just gotten into such a scandal, and their reputation in the capital had plummeted. If Su Xiruo managed to get into Mercenary Academy at such a time, then the Su Family's reputation would return in an instant!

"Old master, are you agreeing?" Su Xiruo had to confirm once more before asking again, "If you have no objections, then I will register two days later."

"Of course I agree. Xiruo, your father respects your decision. As long as you want to, your father will support you in doing so." Su Yuanqing was still extremely happy in his heart, "In two days, Father will personally send you there."

"No need!" Su Xiruo interrupted him and had an idea, "I just want to go and quietly announce my name, I am not willing to make such a big scene, furthermore, my Fine Star Continent is deep and unfathomable, the strong are as numerous as the clouds, if I were to act so arrogantly from the start, I am afraid that it would not be appropriate!"

Hearing this, Su Yuanqing probably felt that it was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed: "Alright, since you said it, then Father will naturally respect your decision."

He called himself father one by one, causing Su Xiruo's ears to be filled with perspiration.

"Since the matter has been resolved, it's time for me to leave as well." Su Xiruo stood up, without saying more than that, he prepared to leave.

"Xiruo, don't be in such a hurry to leave." "Su Yuanqing seemed to want to use this opportunity to rope her in and revealed a smile. "It's almost noon, you should stay and have a meal with father. If you want to eat something, father will tell the kitchen to prepare it now."

Su Yuanqing only felt that the Emperor had already ordered for Qixi to be transported to the border and that he would only have Xiruo as his daughter. It would be better for him to rope her in.

Su Xiruo could not help but laugh. He was his daughter and it had been more than ten years since then, so he did not know what he liked to eat.

Therefore, she lightly rejected him, "No, I still have things to do, so I won't stay any longer."

Finished, Su Yuanqing could only watch as Su Xiruo left the main hall without turning his head back.

"Hmph." He snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied. "You really don't know what's good for you!"

If not to rope Su Xiruo in, and for her to go and fight for the Su Family's face, he would not have used such a fawning tone to speak to Su Xiruo. Who knew she would not be tactful!

Forget it, for the sake of the Su Clan's reputation, he would endure it.

General'S Estate.

Liu Sheng brought the lunch into the room, pushed open the door, and saw Helian Yunqian dressed entirely in single, sitting at the table, casually flipping through the book in his hands.

His figure was thin to begin with, and he was only wearing a fur coat. His face was pale, and he looked even weaker than before.

"Mistress, you haven't fully recovered from your injuries. How did you get up?" Liu Sheng's tone carried some worry.

Helian Yunqian lifted her eyes, and did not answer his question. Her thin lips slightly parted as she asked, "Is this all the new student list for this year?"

"Yeah." Liu Sheng nodded with incomparable sincerity, "This list is only a rough estimate, but it's more or less accurate and can be used as a reference."

Seeing that Master's expression was a little strange, Liu Sheng continued to ask: "Why, Master, is there a problem with this list?"

"Their overall power is too weak." He calmly spat out these words, probably because he couldn't bear to watch any longer.

The strength of this Mercenary Academy is really getting worse with each session. The Heavenly Spirit Master that I can see this year is probably as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns!

"Cough, cough." Liu Sheng embarrassedly coughed twice, "Mistress, after all, the requirements to enroll in the Academy is strict. It only accepts students under the age of twenty.

He lightly shook his head and was just about to close the namelist when a dazzling name suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Su Xiruo, she also registered, and she signed up using the Su Family's name!

These two short words were able to quickly disrupt his emotions.

"Mistress, what's wrong?" Liu Sheng saw his master was stunned for a second, he thought that Yue Yang had seen some kind of powerful being, and went forward to see what they were, but when he saw the three words "Su Xiruo", he felt a sudden burst of anger.

"This woman actually dares to come and register? Heh, Master, don't let her fall into your hands, or else I'll make her suffer!" Liu Sheng had no place to vent his anger.

Helian Yunqian acted as if he did not hear anything, and closed the register, no longer bringing up the matter: "How's the preparation of the registration site going?"

After all, when the time came, the number of people who would come to register would be innumerable. If they didn't do a good job on the spot, it would be easy for an accident to occur.

"All arrangements have been made." Liu Sheng patted his chest, "Master, you are injured, so there is no need to personally go back to register for two days, just let this subordinate take your place."

"I've already promised the dean. If I don't go, won't I be breaking my promise?" Helian Yunqian actually wanted to take a look. After all, as one of the higher ups of the academy, he had never gone to see the many years of recruitment.

"Master, but …" Liu Sheng wanted to say, you went back on your words, what do you have to do with setting others up? Why did he have to pretend to keep his promise this time?

However, for the sake of his little life, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back down.

"But what?" he asked deliberately.

"Nothing, your subordinate is just worried about your injuries." Liu Sheng immediately changed his words, but he could not help but say the words in his heart, "If you are going for the Miss Su, this subordinate truly feels that it is unnecessary!"

That ungrateful woman wasn't worth the trip from Master. Even if she did, she might not appreciate it!

"Who said I went there for the Miss Su?" Helian Yunqian raised her eyebrows, her tone was extremely relaxed, as if she didn't care at all.

"You …"

"Today's lunch doesn't seem to be to my liking." Helian Yunqian swiftly changed the topic, but the task was still pretty impressive, "Let's go to the kitchen to make a new serving."

No matter what Liu Sheng had to say, he could only hold it in and unhappily agreed: "Yes, this subordinate will go instruct them."

He knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. As long as it was something his master decided, no one could change it.

After Liu Sheng left the room, Helian Yunqian gently stroked the Red Jade Marrow Ring on his fingerbone.
