More than half an hour later, they disbanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin returned to her office, where Su Zhang and Qi Yi were waiting anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi’s eyes were swollen like buns from crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin walked in, glanced at father and daughter, and finally sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhang’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it over? Was she going to be expelled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I pleaded for Qi Yi. But the principal still decided she may stay—but she will no longer be eligible for recommendation as an outer disciple of the sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhang’s face turned instantly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s over!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi had lost the most precious resource in the clan academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seventh sister, my Qi Yi is innocent. She never bought a single prohibited elixir from the black market. She was framed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s meaningless to say this now,” Su Jin said heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Su Zhang had taken the same master in the sect; their senior-junior bond was decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would she have spoken up for Qi Yi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You say Qi Yi is innocent? But where’s the evidence? If you have proof, I can take her right now to beg the principal to change the punishment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhang: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could find evidence, would he have asked Seventh Sister for help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi was so furious she nearly tore the small handkerchief in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she ever caught the mastermind behind this betrayal, she’d tear them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there truly no way to reverse this? If she loses the outer disciple recommendation, my Qi Yi has been terribly wronged.” Su Zhang frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who told you to be careless? There were so many students in the class—why did the prohibited elixir turn up in your Qi Yi’s locker?” Su Jin snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qi Yi’s locker was searched and the prohibited elixir found, who could imagine how hot and flushed Su Jin’s face had been?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Qi Yi’s guarantor for enrollment—how humiliating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s definitely the other students in my class who framed me,” Qi Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s your proof?” Su Jin countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. In the Su Clan Academy, everything is decided by performance. If you behave well from now on, you still have five or six years here—you might yet change the principal and instructors’ poor impression of you. If you rise again through your achievements, I’ll help you maneuver—perhaps you can regain your lost outer disciple recommendation slot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yi listened and nodded obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself: she would try hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way, you’ve just broken through to Qi Refining Level One—when do you expect to reach Level Two?” Su Jin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About two more months,” Qi Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you using a Spirit Gathering Array to aid your cultivation?” Su Jin pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even with it, I still need two more months,” Qi Yi thought—this is already fast enough, for heaven’s sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Qi Yi is a triple-spirit-root. This pace is already very fast,” Su Zhang added helpfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin looked at Qi Yi, then at Su Zhang, fiercely defending his stepdaughter, and thought: my junior brother has water in his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were senior-junior siblings, Su Jin knew Su Zhang’s family situation well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought: you divorced and remarried, fine—but why leave your own daughter to be raised by your ex-wife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the academy, Su Jin had surged forward relentlessly, consistently ranking among the academy’s absolute top tier of talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this performance, she would inevitably receive even more academy resources in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget the future—even now, if she maintained this pace, in less than three years she could earn her mother a free sect-breaking elixir, specifically designed to break the barrier from Qi Refining Level Six to Seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to her biological daughter, this stepdaughter was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were her, she’d never do such a foolish thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you two go home. Tomorrow morning, Su Zhang, bring Qi Yi to me—I’ll send her to the Wood Class.” Su Jin thought: for the sake of our long-standing senior-junior bond, I’ll help your stepdaughter stand back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Seventh Sister,” Su Zhang smiled slightly upon hearing she’d help send Qi Yi to the Wood Class. “Oh, by the way, Seventh Sister, please keep an eye on Su Jin for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Jin’s name has long been on the principal’s shortlist. You needn’t worry about her,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shortlist?” Su Zhang looked at Su Jin in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. It’s the list of the academy’s most gifted young talents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Su Jin didn’t tell Su Zhang was that this shortlist was also called the Foundation Establishment Support List—meaning, if you have the talent, the clan will fully back you to reach Foundation Establishment before age twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Su Jin had only just made the list; there was still plenty of time for the principal and instructors to observe whether she truly deserved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhang immediately beamed. “That’s wonderful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her affairs are under your father’s full attention. You know how close he is to the principal,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Zhang’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father now utterly despised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He constantly sought opportunities to suppress him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for his decent reputation and many friends,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he might have been driven mad by his own father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My father is my father, I am I. Whenever you have time, just keep an eye on Su Jin for me.” After saying this, Su Zhang chatted a few more moments with his senior sister, then placed two wooden boxes on Su Jin’s desk and left with Qi Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after they were gone did Su Jin open the wooden boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One contained three thousand spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Qi Yi’s fine—Su Jin would need to deliver it to the academy’s Reward and Punishment Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other box held one thousand spirit stones—this was Su Zhang’s payment to Seventh Sister for speaking up for his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she had pleaded on Qi Yi’s behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh... I wonder if helping you keep Qi Yi was right or wrong?” Su Jin thought, troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1118,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3759e9a84f641574c890651f62b1ac53d85f52cef853d6b896650f8c080ed907","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-51","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-49",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
