Xiao Chong, why are you asking this question?

For a moment, the surrounding students began whispering among themselves.

As for Bai Cheng and his companions, they were now in a deep coma.

Even if they weren't unconscious, they would probably faint again upon hearing the discussions around them once they woke up.

Which god or buddha had they prayed to that they ended up provoking a Dou Zun by accident?

Their luck was truly unmatched.

However, it wasn't long before a figure descended from the sky. The person who appeared was none other than Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Jia Nan Academy.

Upon arriving at the scene, Su Qian quickly assessed the situation. He glanced at Zi Yan, who was grinning mischievously, and then at Xiao Chong, who was casually eating. Su Qian instantly understood what had transpired.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

It's normal for young people to be impulsive, but they shouldn't provoke someone even he wouldn't dare to mess with, all for the sake of some beauty.

Moreover, it was fortunate that Zi Yan was the one who acted, not Xiao Chong.

If it had been Xiao Chong, it wouldn't just be these youngsters who suffered—their entire families might have been wiped out as well.

Su Qian knew that although this young man appeared kind and easy on the surface, it was precisely because of his kindness that he had annihilated almost the entire army of the Chu Yun Empire in one go.

He had completely neutralized the threat posed by the Jia Ma Empire.

So, although these careless individuals had been beaten up—with a few likely rendered permanently infertile—their families should probably be thanking him for this incident.

Thinking this, Su Qian casually waved his hand and said, "Take these people to the infirmary. Have a few skilled healers use their Dou technique to treat them and then carry them away."

"Then send a few people to inform their families. Tell them that what happened today was their own fault for provoking a Dou Zun. Don't let them vent their anger on our Jia Nan Academy."

Although it was Zi Yan was the one who did the beating, Su Qian knew that with Xiao Chong present, Zi Yan wouldn't have dared to act without his approval. It was clear that Xiao Chong had given the green light, which was why Zi Yan had taken action.

Besides, attributing the incident to a Dou Zun would help avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"A Dou Zun?"

Upon hearing this, the students who had been watching the spectacle were utterly stunned.

A Dou Zun! So this handsome young man was even stronger than the Grand Elder? This was truly unexpected.

After all, even the ancestors of some of the students' families didn't possess the strength of a Dou Zun.

However, some students seemed to misinterpret the situation, inexplicably developing an even greater respect for the Jia Nan Academy.

It seemed that the academy had managed to summon a Dou Zun today, which only proved that the academy possessed immense power and influence.

Compared to the shock and awe of the surrounding students, Su Qian could only look at Xiao Chong and Zi Yan, who was happily smiling after finishing her fight, with a helpless expression.

"Mr. Xiao Chong, I must apologize. After all, what these students do is entirely up to them, and our academy has no control over their actions."

Xiao Chong waved his hand indifferently. "It's fine, just consider it a bit of fun. In the past 12 years, I've never encountered anyone daring enough to speak to me like that."

Zi Yan also cheerfully waved her hand. "I'm fine too. I've already beaten up those disrespectful guys, so I have no complaints. As long as Elder Su Qian doesn't blame me for acting out of turn."

Hearing this, Su Qian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. "Well, that's not the main issue. I'm just concerned..."

"Never mind, it's nothing."

"I just wanted to inform you that your application to enter the inner court of Jia Nan Academy has been approved. If you have no other issues now, I can take you there."

Su Qian, who had initially wanted to say something, hesitated.

After all, the Bai family was a prominent family on the Dou Qi Continent, with a Dou Huang level expert among their ranks. Their heritage was even stronger than the so-called three great families of the Jia Ma Empire.

Today, Xiao Chong had allowed Zi Yan to kicked the family's young master... well, that thing, and from the looks of it, it was beyond repair.

It was likely that their family would come to Jia Nan Academy to complain, which could cause quite a bit of trouble for the academy's reputation.

After all, the young master of that family had been injured at Jia Nan Academy.

But Su Qian decided not to mention this.

Because if he did, given Xiao Chong tendency to avoid trouble, he might just resolve the issue personally.

Yes, Su Qian meant that Xiao Chong might go straight to the Central Plains, find the Bai family, and wipe them out entirely. That way, there would be no need to worry about any future repercussions. This was, after all, a terrifying individual who could effortlessly annihilate an entire nation army on the battlefield.

So, between the displeasure of a mere family and Xiao Chong attitude, Su Qian naturally chose to side with Xiao Chong and keep him calm.

However, Xiao Chong naturally understood what Su Qian was worried about and smiled.

"Alright, no need to pretend, Elder Su Qian. Your attempt to change the subject is too clumsy."

"I know that if that family comes to the academy gates making a scene, although Jia Nan Academy isn't afraid of it, it would still somewhat affect the academy's enrollment rate."

"Uh, well..."

Elder Su Qian quickly showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing this.

How had Xiao Chong seen through it so quickly?

Ah, this young man was indeed not just outrageously talented in cultivation.

"How about this? Let me ask you, as elders of Jia Nan Academy, do you have a lot of freedom afterward?"

Hearing this, Su Qian was momentarily stunned, then nodded and said, "Indeed, our elders at Jia Nan Academy enjoy a great deal of freedom. Those who wish to stay can continue to do so, and those who want to leave can do so at any time."

"The reason we have so many elders at Jia nan Academy is that many of them were once students themselves and have a deep affection for the academy, which is why they haven't left."

"Xiao Chong, why are you asking this question?"
