Qiu Chuzi finished reading, couldn’t help but clasp his wrist, regretting the past quarrels with Madam She Xiang, thinking they should have married and had children earlier, especially daughters. Who says having daughters is a loss? Having a daughter like Yue Jinghua is like embracing a gold brick. This isn’t a Divorce Paper, it’s outright extortion! This lady is talented, extremely talented indeed. Upon reading the document, Shalman was first filled with emotion, and then felt injusticed for Yue Jinghua. "Hahaha, this old man has indeed misjudged. I’ve never encountered such a woman in my life. Just for this reason alone, I will not stand by and watch her meet her end," Qiu Chuzi could not hold back, slapping the table and bursting out into hearty laughter. "Dean, please save Jinghua first. I don’t know if that sinister Fa Xiao Yi has secretly harmed her," Shalman said with gritted teeth, hating the scoundrel Fa Xiao Yi to the bone, feeling a fellowship with "Yue Jinghua" as both suffered from being outcasts. "Don’t panic, she won’t die just yet. She has entered a state of five senses closure. That girl called Hongling, put away your mournful expression, it’s bad luck to look at. Tell me honestly, what injury has your mistress suffered? And how did you think to seek me out?" Qiu Chuzi’s demeanor changed dramatically – just a moment ago he was laughing heartily, but the next, he had put on a stern face. Hongling’s heart skipped a beat, she pondered for a moment, "Dean Qiu is insightful. My mistress’s injury is due to the overuse of spiritual power, leading to exhaustion. As for why we came to you, it’s because aside from you, I don’t know whom else to turn to. My lady has led a hard life from a young age and has been subjected to bullying while staying in someone else’s home. She has said that Dean Qiu is a hidden master and, being your student, you surely would not stand by idly in the face of her crisis." Hongling had accompanied Yue Jinghua and had learned the art of deception and persuasion. The lady had said to show weakness when meeting others, then to act pitiable to garner sympathy; having done the first two, the last was to have thick skin. The so-called pandering with a flattering face, everyone loves to hear good words, you have to praise Dean Qiu to the skies, until he forgets himself in vanity and readily agrees to your request. "Hmm, this girl does have some discernment," Qiu Chuzi held his head high, unspeakably proud. Despite Hongling’s flattery, Dean Qiu wouldn’t be so easily fooled. After hearing Hongling’s words, he was also secretly surprised that Yue Jinghua practiced a Spiritual Dark Skill. Spiritual power cultivation is an extremely rare method on the Six continents, and to think that this girl, who was known as useless for many years, was actually training in Spiritual Dark Skills, "Leave her with me. As for whether she can be saved, it will depend on her own fate," Qiu Chuzi waved his hand, signaling Hongling to leave first. Hongling, seeking help, looked at Shalman, who was also helpless as the Outer Court did not keep outsiders. With repeated reassurances from Shalman, Hongling had no choice but to leave the Royal Xuanji Academy. After sending Hongling away, Shalman immediately went back to her room, while Qiu Chuzi stood beside the bed, continuously checking Yue Jinghua’s vital breaths. "Dean, you must have a way to save Jinghua, right?" Shalman pleaded. "Alas, what a pity, our Vice Dean hasn’t returned yet. She has some understanding of Spiritual Dark Skills, but I’m completely ignorant in this area," Qiu Chuzi shook his head. "No, it can’t be, you must have a way, can you send Jinghua into..." Shalman hesitated, then quickly glanced out the window, at the unremarkable Cultivation Room standing in the distance. In the Outer Court, only a few houses stood, most of which were fully utilized, but that one Cultivation Room, neither Shalman nor Yue Jinghua had ever entered. Qiu Chuzi forbade them from entering the Cultivation Room and even approaching it was not allowed. "Shalman, who told you about that room?" Qiu Chuzi was somewhat displeased. Qiu Chuzi had never spoken of the Cultivation Room to the students of the Outer Court, partly because their cultivation was not yet sufficient, and also for fear that upon learning the room’s secrets, the students would be unable to resist temptation and make some irredeemable mistakes. "It was Liu Xi, during the time I spent with Liu Xi, I heard him mention the secrets of that Cultivation Room; it is said to possess a mysterious power that can bring people back from the brink of death..." Shalman explained hurriedly. "Do you realize that that room is the most terrifying place in the world? Don’t bring up this matter again. I will try other methods to save Yue Jinghua," Qiu Chuzi said angrily, his robe fluttering as he walked out. Shalman stood still, silent for a long time.
