"This is undoubtedly the most glorious moment for our Martial Arts Club. Everyone, let's take lots of photos."

"I'll post it on the forum to promote us. Next year, our club's membership should exceed thirty."

As a qualified club president, recruitment was an issue that had to be considered.

Feng Qingyi suggested, "I think before recruiting, we should first find some reliable martial arts instructors."

"Although it's just an amateur club, we still need to teach something. Otherwise, aren't people just paying to kill time?"

Luo Nuo strongly agreed, "I think you're right, senior. The current martial arts instructor in our club isn't really up to par."

Luo Qingyu nodded, "I'll consider what you've said and try to find suitable instructors as soon as possible. We'll strive to expand our club quickly."

After the martial arts competition, the 500 points had been successfully credited. Looking at the remaining balance, Feng Qingyi was in high spirits.

She hadn't bought anything for a while, and now her remaining points had reached 9,230.

She could easily purchase all the remaining items in the level two store.

However, her current learning progress couldn't keep up.

Although she was curious about what the higher-level stores had to offer, Feng Qingyi restrained herself.

Buying too many courses would lead to the mentality of "I've bought them all, I can learn anytime," which would affect her learning efficiency.

Even though Feng Qingyi believed she could manage her time well, having too many courses at once would create a lot of pressure.

Step by step, slowly but surely. After all, she still had plenty of time.

After the martial arts competition, Feng Qingyi noticed a very strange phenomenon during class.

Her classmates were unanimously keeping their distance from her, as if facing a fierce beast.

Feng Qingyi didn't understand. Was she really that frightening?

She went to ask Shen Hanyue about the situation, but even the usually gossipy Shen Hanyue looked bewildered this time.

"I think it might be because you're too good-looking. They feel inferior when they're around you."

Feng Qingyi rolled her eyes. This explanation was utterly ridiculous.

Qu Jingqiu, overhearing their conversation, handed her phone to Feng Qingyi.

"This message, you'll understand once you see it. It was posted on the school's official public account."

"She's from the Southern Border."

Xuanyuan Xi, who had some understanding of Shengjing's situation and the dynamics between various countries, quickly said upon hearing this, "I am His Majesty's aunt. I'll go to the palace to persuade him."

Qin Yuchuan: "Mother, there are some things we can't prevent. Since he has already decided, he should bear the consequences himself, don't you think?"

Xuanyuan Xi was stunned. After a long while, she spoke, "You're right, Yuchuan. I don't ask for much in this life, only that you remain safe."

"After the war between Tianqi and the Southern Border, would you be willing to leave Shengjing with me, Mother?" Qin Yuchuan changed the subject.

Xuanyuan Xi said, "Although Shengjing is prosperous, I've grown tired of it after staying for so long."

"Yuchuan, since you've decided, I will respect your decision. You are wiser than your father."

Qin Yuchuan looked at the withered lotus in front of him, "Mother, the wind is rising. Your health isn't good, please go back to your chambers to rest."

Xuanyuan Xi: "After such a long period of recuperation, I'm much better now. Yuchuan, you needn't worry about me."

"I know you've always been discreet in your actions, but don't compromise yourself. Now, no one in Shengjing dares to touch you."

"Do what you want to do, and don't force yourself to agree to things you don't want to do."

"Although he is the emperor and you are his subject, nothing can be accomplished without you now."

"The Qin family has already done more than enough for this country."

In Qin Yuchuan's impression, Xuanyuan Xi had always been gentle, virtuous, dignified, and composed.

These words didn't seem like something she would say, but now he had heard them with his own ears.

"Mother, you needn't worry about me either. I understand everything."

Since ascending to the throne, although Xuanyuan Sheng had many consorts, the position of Empress remained vacant.

Upon learning of Murong Yan's pregnancy, Xuanyuan Sheng was overjoyed and immediately drafted an edict to crown her as Empress.

The ministers of the court argued incessantly about this matter, but Xuanyuan Sheng silenced them with one sentence: "This is my family affair, and no interference will be tolerated."

The empress's coronation ceremony was extremely grand. Xuanyuan Sheng, accompanied by Murong Yan, received the court officials' kowtows in Xuanzheng Hall.

Murong Yan gazed at the rows of kneeling ministers below, her smile dazzling.

What did it matter if they disagreed or disapproved of her? In the end, they still had to kneel and pay homage to her.

As long as she controlled Xuanyuan Sheng and bore him a prince, Tianqi would sooner or later be hers for the taking.
