Chapter 1725

Everyone, my foolish daughter has made a mistake. If a daughter is not taught, it is the father's fault. I am willing to punish myself; as for Chi Yao, let her go to Cloud Cliff Academy to receive reformation.

Lao Fengzi's voice sounded somewhat sorrowful, spreading throughout the entire Jade Pool Star Region.

But soon, the Jade Pool Army loudly said, "We do not need the old ruler to punish himself; we only need to punish Chi Yao Xianzi."

Lao Fengzi sighed and said, "Are you satisfied with this result?"

Many of the Jade Pool Army were momentarily unable to make up their minds.

They did not actually wish to execute Chi Yao directly!

Moreover, they wanted her to pay a price!

Now Lao Fengzi has already conceded, already shown an attitude; they seem unable to demand anything further.

It must be said, Lao Fengzi's decision is quite thoughtful.

This is because Cloud Cliff Academy esteems the Confucian-Daoist path.

Even if Chi Yao enters Cloud Cliff Academy, she will not suffer physical punishment.

Moreover, at the academy there are many great scholars debating the classics, allowing Chi Yao to carefully study the great works of the sages and receive the instructors' influence; perhaps she could be transformed, though not necessarily.

Lao Fengzi thought carefully; Chi Yao is different from Yao Xi—she has read little since childhood.

Perhaps this time she can truly be changed.

Moreover, most importantly, Chi Yao's mother once bestowed favors upon Cloud Cliff Academy, granting it many heaven-defying opportunities.

"She is a perfect woman."

Thinking of Chi Yao's mother, Lao Fengzi's gaze involuntarily softened.

Chi Yao's mother especially loved reading; perhaps while she was alive, she gave many resources to Cloud Cliff Academy, allowing it to become the dynasty's foremost academy in a single leap.

But Chi Yao Xianzi never expected these arrangements by Lao Fengzi.

She chattered on incessantly.

"I won't go!"

"I won't go!"

"Beat me to death, I still won't go!"

Lao Fengzi could only shout, "Shut up!"

Chi Yao Xianzi felt immense resentment in her heart.

She certainly did not want to go to Cloud Cliff Academy to listen to those old Confucian drones babbling on like lunatics.

In that case, she truly wanted to die!

She would rather endure some physical punishment!

Going to Cloud Cliff Academy is practically hell!

At this moment.

Commander Bai Li Xuan, Commander Wang Zhen, and some strongmen of the clans bowed with clasped fists, saying, "Then as the old ruler said, let Chi Yao go to Cloud Cliff Academy for reformation."

Upon hearing this, many instructors of Cloud Cliff Academy felt a headache.

This Chi Yao is clearly a hot potato.

This will make Chi Yao utterly hate the Cloud Cliff Academy.

Once Chi Yao gets out of trouble, if she goes berserk, it could bring a catastrophic disaster upon Cloud Cliff Academy.

The head of the academy, Wen Ruomo, wearing a Confucian scholar's robe, slowly rose into the air; his visage was upright, his gaze like torches—clearly one well-versed in many Confucian classics—he could only bow with clasped fists.

"Since the old ruler has ordered it, we naturally ought to obey respectfully."

Wen Ruomo also secretly understood Lao Fengzi's meaning.

Chi Yao's mother once bestowed favors upon Cloud Cliff Academy; now it is time to repay them.

It seems this matter cannot be declined.

Moreover, the Jade Pool Army and other clans also approved this "punishment".

"Then it's decided. I will personally bring Chi Yao to Cloud Cliff Academy to apologize!" Lao Fengzi said to Wen Ruomo.

With a boom, he tore open the void and crossed toward Cloud Cliff Academy.

"As you command!" Wen Ruomo bowed respectfully again.

Chi Yao Xianzi's heart was filled with hatred; she glanced one last time at Yang Tianming, then swept her gaze over the crowd, gnashing her teeth, "You will regret this."

She bears grudges!

None of these people will escape her purge!

Seeing this scene, Emperor Yuan Feng and the Leader of the Myriad Laws Alliance were secretly delighted.

"Good, good, good!"

"If this continues, Chi Yao will surely come to hate the Jade Pool Dynasty, which is extremely advantageous for our plans."

"Lao Fengzi's decision seems painless, but he does not understand his own daughter. Chi Yao most despises these Confucian scholars—hahaha! Wonderful, wonderful!"

Soon, the Yuan Feng Empire and the Myriad Laws Alliance temporarily withdrew.

The entire Jade Pool Dynasty fell into a strange, eerie quiet.

In the Azure Cloud Star Sea, Emperor Chixiao looked toward Lu Xuan, awaiting orders.

Lu Xuan said calmly, "From now on, you shall cooperate with Empress Yao Xi."

"As you command!"

Empress Yao Xi, wearing a long dress, of exquisite beauty, descended like a celestial maiden.

Everyone stepped into Lustrous Illumination Star.

"Bang!"

Tie Xiaoqing directly took down the big black pot, began cooking, "Lord Lu, you must be hungry."

Lu Xuan smiled, "Let's cook."

Tie Xiaoqing giggled.

She loves to cook.

Moreover, during this period of cooking, her cultivation rose extremely fast, directly entering the Dao Solid Realm.

Cooking smoke rose in spirals.

Empress Yao Xi was extremely dignified, simultaneously bearing the aura of an empress; having long ruled the dynasty, she possessed an air of tranquil authority.

"This time, thank you, Venerable Lord, for your intervention."

Lu Xuan said lightly, "Just a small matter."

Empress Yao Xi glanced at Yang Tianming, her snow-white neck slightly tilting as she shook her head lightly, "My younger sister has always been like that since childhood, and with the father emperor overly indulgent, she became lawless."

Yang Tianming directly asked, "Empress, I have something I don't know whether I should say."

"Speak," Empress Yao Xi said.

Yang Tianming asked, "Do you think Chi Yao can still be saved?"

Empress Yao Xi sighed lightly, her delicate frame trembling slightly, a faint fragrance wafting over.

She understood Chi Yao.

Basically, there's no hope.

She spoke frankly, "As the saying goes, 'It's easy to change the landscape, hard to change one's nature.' With Chi Yao's nature, wanting to change the past is as hard as climbing to heaven."

The people of Qing Qiu also shook their heads.

Chi Yao is wicked to the core!

They know what will happen in the future!

Chi Yao killed Empress Yao Xi, killed Yang Tianming, and exterminated many leaders' clans; her crimes are unforgivable!

At this moment, Empress Yao Xi saw Qi Chun Jing, marveling at the righteous aura on his body, and smiled slightly, "Is this the Master Qi that Dean Ding Chunqiu spoke of?"

She had already heard about Qi Chun Jing from the branch of the Cloud Cliff Academy.

Qi Chun Jing's talent is truly extraordinary.

He is born entirely for the Way of the Sage Confucian!

Even though Qi Chun Jing is only at the Dao Fusion Realm now, he stands like a Sage Confucian.

Qi Chun Jing smiled, "Empress, you flatter me."

Empress Yao Chi asked, "Will Master Qi go on to study at the main campus of the Cloud Cliff Academy?"

Qi Chun Jing nodded, "Not bad."

Lu Xuan also encouraged Qi Chun Jing to go to the Cloud Cliff Academy to gather the strengths of the hundred schools.

Soon.

Tie Xiaoqing came out holding steaming food, "Venerable Lord, let's eat."

Everyone gathered around and sat down.

Empress Yao Xi felt a bit dazed; she didn't even remember how long it had been since she last ate.

However, Tie Xiaoqing's cooking skill is good; the aroma could be smelled from afar.

"Delicious."

Empress Yao Chi ate elegantly, secretly glancing at Lu Xuan, a ripple stirring in her heart.

I never expected she would end up sitting at the same table as the Venerable Lord.

It truly feels like a dream!

Empress Yao Xi casually said to Yang Tianming, "Being able to become the Venerable Lord's disciple is truly a great fortune."
