Chapter 50: Missing the Most Precious Resource in the Clan Academy

The tone in which the Headmaster spoke this time was not one of discussion, but of decision.

After all, he had been biased toward Su Jiuniang regarding the issue of keeping Qi Yi, so Su Jiuniang had to stay silent, and Qi Yi would be punished as she deserved.

As for whether Qi Yi, having lost her qualification for recommendation as an outer sect disciple, still wished to remain in the Su Clan Academy, that was her own business.

Stay if you want, leave if you don't!

Su Jiuniang sighed inwardly.

Thinking that this was the only way it could be.

After deciding on the matter of Qi Yi, the three discussed how to rectify the academy and the methods to prevent the students from taking forbidden drugs. More than an hour later, the meeting finally dispersed.

Su Jiuniang returned to her office, where Su Zhang and Qi Yi were waiting anxiously.

Qi Yi's eyes were swollen like buns from crying.

Su Jiuniang walked in, looked at the father and daughter, and finally sighed.

Su Zhang's heart immediately skipped a beat.

Could it be over? Must she be expelled?

"I pleaded for Qi Yi. But the Headmaster still decided that Qi Yi may stay, but she has lost her qualification to be recommended by the academy as an outer sect disciple of the sect."

Su Zhang's face instantly turned pale.

It's over!!

Qi Yi had missed the most precious resource in the academy.

"Seventh Senior Sister, my Qi Yi was wrongly accused. She has never purchased a single forbidden drug from the black market." Su Zhang still wanted to argue. "She was framed."

"Saying these things is meaningless now." Su Jiuniang said, her breathing heavy.

She and Su Zhang had the same master in the sect. Their relationship as senior and junior sister and brother was quite good.

Otherwise, why would she have spoken well for Qi Yi?

"You say Qi Yi is innocent? But where is the evidence? If you have evidence, I can take Qi Yi to beg the Headmaster to change the punishment decision right now," Su Jiuniang said.

Su Zhang: "..."

If he could find evidence, would he have asked Seventh Senior Sister to help plead for him?

Qi Yi was so angry she almost tore the small handkerchief in her hand.

If she ever catches the mastermind behind the plot who framed her, she will definitely tear him apart.

"Is it truly irretrievable? If she misses the qualification for recommendation as an outer sect disciple, then my Qi Yi is too wronged," Su Zhang said, frowning.

"Who told you to be less cautious? Among so many students in the class, how did the forbidden drugs get found in your Qi Yi's small cabinet?" Su Jiuniang asked angrily.

When the forbidden drugs were found in Qi Yi's small cabinet back then, who could have imagined how red and hot Su Jiuniang's face was?

She was still Qi Yi's guarantor for entering the academy; how face-slapping was this!!

"It must be the students from the second class in our group who framed me," Qi Yi said.

"Where is the evidence?" Su Jiuniang countered.

Qi Yi: "..."

"Alright, everything in the Su Clan Academy is based solely on grades. Perform well in the future. You still have five or six years in the academy; it is not impossible to change the Headmaster and instructors' bad impression of you. If you stand up again based on your grades, I will help you operate again, and perhaps in the future, you can regain the outer sect disciple recommendation slot you lost," Su Jiuniang comforted her.

Qi Yi listened and nodded obediently.

Thinking that she would work hard.

"Oh, by the way, you have already broken through to Qi Refining Layer One. When will you be able to break through to Qi Refining Layer Two?" Su Jiuniang asked.

"Probably another two months," Qi Yi said.

"Don't you have a Spirit Gathering Array to assist your cultivation?" Su Jiuniang asked hurriedly.

"That still requires another two months of cultivation," Qi Yi thought, *I'm already cultivating very fast, you know. *

"My Qi Yi has a Three Spirit Root; this cultivation speed is already very fast," Su Zhang added to help explain.

Su Jiuniang looked at Qi Yi, then at Su Zhang who was wholeheartedly protecting his stepdaughter, thinking that her junior brother's brain was truly flooded with water.

Because they were senior and junior sister and brother, Su Jiuniang knew Su Zhang's family situation very well.

She thought, *If you want to divorce and remarry, then divorce and remarry, but why did you throw your own biological daughter to be raised by your wife? *

Since Su Jin entered the academy, she had advanced with high momentum, always maintaining the strength of the top few seedlings in the academy.

With such performance, she would definitely consume more academy resources in the future.

Not to mention the future, even now, as long as Su Jin maintains this cultivation speed, in less than three years, she can earn a free Sect Obstacle-Breaking Pill for her own mother, specifically the kind designed to break through the bottleneck from Qi Refining Layer Six to Qi Refining Layer Seven.

Comparing the aptitude of a biological daughter with that of a stepdaughter, she couldn't bear to look.

Anyway, if it were her, she would absolutely never do such a foolish thing.

"Alright, you father and daughter go back first. Tomorrow morning, Su Zhang, bring Qi Yi to me, and I will take her to the Wood Class," Su Jiuniang thought, *Considering our years of senior and junior sister and brother relationship, I will help your stepdaughter save face one last time. *

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister." Hearing that Seventh Senior Sister would help him take Qi Yi to the Wood Class, Su Zhang immediately smiled slightly. "Oh, by the way, Seventh Senior Sister, please help me look after Su Jin over there."

"Su Jin's name has long been on the small list in the Headmaster's hands. You don't need to worry about her," Su Jiuniang said.

"Small list?" Su Zhang looked at Su Jiuniang in confusion.

"Mm-hmm. It is the list of the small geniuses with the strongest talent in the academy," Su Jiuniang said.

What Su Jiuniang did not tell Su Zhang was that this small list was actually also called the Foundation Establishment Support List. That is to say, as long as you have the ability, the clan will go all out to support you in achieving Foundation Establishment before the age of twenty.

Of course, Su Jin has only just made the list; there is still plenty of time in the future for the Headmaster and instructors in the academy to continue observing whether Su Jin is truly qualified!

Su Zhang immediately said happily, "That is really very good."

"Her affairs have your father's full attention. Your father has an extremely good relationship with the Headmaster; you know that, don't you?" Su Jiuniang said.

Hearing these words, Su Zhang's mouth twitched directly.

His father currently disliked him greatly.

He was looking for opportunities to suppress him everywhere.

If it weren't for the fact that he had always gotten along well with people and made quite a few good friends,

he would probably have truly been driven mad by his own father.

"My father is my father, I am me. Seventh Senior Sister, when you have the time, just help me keep an extra eye on Su Jin." After saying this, Su Zhang chatted with his senior sister for a few more lines, then placed the two wooden boxes on the table in front of Su Jiuniang, and took his leave with Qi Yi.

Su Jiuniang waited until the two of them had gone before opening the wooden boxes.

One of the wooden boxes contained three thousand spirit stones.

This was Qi Yi's fine. Su Jiuniang would need to send it to the clan academy's Reward and Punishment Office shortly.

The other wooden box contained a thousand spirit stones. This was the payment Su Zhang had given to his Seventh Senior Sister.

After all, she had spoken up on behalf of his family's Qi Yi.

"Sigh, I wonder if keeping Qi Yi here this time was right or wrong?" Su Jiuniang agonized inwardly.
