Chapter 444: Not Playing by the Rules (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"Parents like you... are truly perfect..." Qin Jian sighed from the bottom of his heart.

In this world, there are too many parents who think they know best and control their children, hoping their children will become what they want them to be and grow up according to their plans, regardless of the children's own preferences and talents.

Truly good parents should not follow the crowd; they should be able to respect their children's choices, provide them with soil to grow freely, and not interfere too much.

The only thing they need to do is protect their children from being severely hurt and become the final harbor for their children to fall back on when they go out into the world.

"Alright, alright, the fighting is done, so let the teachers handle the upcoming badge-swapping ceremony. We two old folks should go and rest." Huo Yanhong gently took Huo Guanglie's arm and said.

Huo Guanglie gently patted the back of her hand without saying anything, but the tacit understanding between them was enough to make others feel envious.

Qin Jian nodded and said, "From now on, Blazing Academy will be renamed Spirit Academy Blazing Branch. As for the Inspector Teacher... hmm... how about we let Huo Wu take that role?"

The Dean and his wife looked at each other, both seeing surprise and delight in the other's eyes.

This was a benefit they had not anticipated; even with a precedent like Tianshui Academy, that was Qin Jian's alma mater, so how could Blazing Academy be mentioned in the same breath?

It seems he really values Huo Wu...

The Dean and his wife felt a little more at ease.

"Hmph, using the interests of our Spirit Hall to flirt again. This stinky man is getting more and more excessive!" Hu Liena said indignantly, arms crossed over her chest.

Shui Bing'er glanced at her quietly but said nothing.

Because she felt... hmm... trouble was coming soon...

Huo Wu, this hot-tempered girl, meeting a nest-guarding, submissive Saintess—the result would surely be like a thunderbolt striking a fire, and it would be a miracle if they didn't beat each other's brains out...

"Then thank you, Qin Jian."

The expressions of the Dean and his wife softened significantly.

Giving gifts to your father-in-law and mother-in-law whenever you can—they naturally won't give you a cold shoulder. It's an eternal truth.

"Hmm..."

Qin Jian hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Where is Huo Wu... right now?"

The Dean and his wife looked at each other again, and Huo Yanhong smiled and said, "You've fought through our students and defeated us, so now that you want to see Huo Wu, no one will stop you. It just depends on how you find her yourself."

"This guy..."

Qin Jian rubbed his brow: "I haven't seen her in five years, and she's actually playing these tricks on me... Does she really think I'm going to turn Blazing Academy upside down..."

"Shui Bing'er, what do you think he will do?" Hu Liena asked with her arms crossed.

Shui Bing'er gave a soft laugh: "It definitely won't be what Huo Wu expects. Jianjian never plays by the rules."

"Not only does he not play by the rules, he's also never had any shame," Hu Liena said coldly.

She thought of how the two of them had slipped out from under the nose of her dear teacher at the Spirit Hall before.

That was only achieved because Qin Jian had kissed her unexpectedly...

"Huo Wu—"

Sure enough, their Qin Jian started pulling his stunts.

Qin Jian leaped up, his Sword Wings flapping as he floated into mid-air. He put away the long spear in his hand, cupped his hands around his mouth like a megaphone, and shouted loudly: "Huo Wu, where are you—"

Below, all the students had strange expressions on their faces.

Good heavens, is he broadcasting to the whole academy?

"Huo Wu, come out quickly, I—miss—you—"

Once these words were spoken, heaven and earth fell into silence.

It wasn't this quiet when he knocked down Huo Wushuang in a few moves earlier.

It wasn't this quiet when he fought through hundreds of students either.

Even when he defeated the Dean and his wife, the crowd hadn't been completely silent.

But at this moment, Qin Jian, relying on his shameless spirit, had thoroughly defeated the entire Blazing Academy.

"No wonder this Qin Jian can win Huo Wu's wholehearted love. Just his fiery, unreserved feelings are exactly the same as Huo Wu's," Huo Yanhong said in a low, chuckling voice.

Huo Guanglie nodded, looking up at Qin Jian's figure flying back and forth, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

It is precisely this kind of youthful, reckless, and fiery passion that can brew a long-lasting and endlessly memorable future!

"Huo Wu, where are you—"

Qin Jian was still flying around, calling out continuously.

"Stop howling!"

At this moment, a crisp girl's voice rang out from the high-rise platform, and the fiery red figure turned out from a hidden spot.

"So you're here!"

Swish...

Qin Jian's Sword Wings flapped, and he rushed toward Huo Wu's figure like a storm.

Only when he got closer did he see what Huo Wu looked like after five years.

Her flame-like red hair had grown longer, draped over her shoulders, and the stubborn edges of her face seemed to have softened a lot with the passage of time.

She was still wearing a golden-red dress, only the curves that were already extraordinary had now become even more proud.

However, she didn't look as pleasantly surprised as Qin Jian; "startled" would be more accurate.

"What are you howling about!"

Her blushing face made Qin Jian's heart flutter.

"Come here and let me hug you! I've missed you so much!"

Without another word, Qin Jian dove from the air and hugged her.

"Who, who wants to hug you?! We broke up! Do you hear me? We broke up! You're not allowed to hug me!"

After his few shouts, Huo Wu was extremely embarrassed and angry. Seeing Qin Jian flying over regardless, her Soul Rings rose subconsciously.

"Repulsive Fire Ring!"

Bang!

Qin Jian truly did not expect Huo Wu's reaction at this moment, and he was hit head-on by the expanding fire ring, sending him flying backward.

"Repulsive Fire Ring can actually be used to repel a man's embrace; Huo Wu is truly amazing..." Shui Bing'er said with a smile on her lips.

Hu Liena... was completely shrouded in black mist.

"Huo Wu, stop messing around."

Qin Jian quickly flew back again, a joyful smile on his face: "I've missed you so much, let me give you a hug."

"Don't even think about it!"

Even if she was a thousand times willing in her heart, she would not let Qin Jian have his way at this moment.

Seeing Qin Jian approaching, she lit up her Soul Ring, and another Repulsive Fire Ring expanded outward.

"Swish!"

But how could Qin Jian suffer from the same soul skill twice in a row, especially since he had always been very clear about the shortcomings of the Repulsive Fire Ring.

He simply spread his Sword Wings, shot straight up into the sky, dodged the horizontally expanding fire ring, and then quickly turned back and dove down.

In almost two breaths' time, Qin Jian landed behind Huo Wu and hugged her without a word, pulling the fiery girl he hadn't seen for five years into his embrace.

Huo Wu's delicate body stiffened.

Qin Jian's arms were so strong, firmly locked around her slender waist, and his chest was so burning hot, transmitting all that scorching longing into her heart.

"I... missed you..."

Warm breath sprayed onto her neck, and the gentle male voice penetrated her eardrums and reached the bottom of her heart; Huo Wu suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Is this the man she had waited five years for, the one she had been thinking about and could not forget...
