Shui Qinan put down the Nine Heavens Pagoda, looked around the inn, then summoned Zhu Er. After instructing him for a while, Zhu Er left a sentence, "Received", then spread her wings and flew out.

The next day, in an empty area not far from Shui Qinan's Inn, a lot of people had started to build their pavilions. Shui Qinan sent Xiao You on his way and heard a lot of people discussing how to open a new Inn. Shui Qinan told Xiao You that once this inn was established, they would move in. Xiao You happily agreed to it because they were very close to the Academy.

However, there were also many people who said that this inn could not be built, because the island was not very big, and there were very few people who stayed in the inn. The people on the island all had their own houses, and it was very difficult for people from the outside to come in.

When Shui Qinan heard this, she did not think much of it, because she knew that there would be a day she would be able to take in the enchantment on the island. The reason she did not take in the enchantment right now was only because it was laid out by her previous life.

Just like this, Shui Qinan had unknowingly stayed on the island for half a month.

Nangong Academy stood on a small island that was isolated from the rest of the world. Only during the ten-day period when the academy was always recruiting students would they open a barrier to the outside world, and the rest of the time the small island was basically sealed. Shui Qinan could enter this place not only because the Vermillion Bird was brought in by a divine beast, but also because the Nangong Academy was established in her previous life and she only found out about it when she arrived on this island.

The island faced the sea from all four sides. Due to the Nangong Academy having finished recruiting students, there were no longer any ships sailing towards the island. In the vast expanse of white fog, the boat that had been slowly moving forward appeared extremely mysterious. Carefully looking at it, only one person could be seen standing at the bow of the ship with clothes fluttering in the wind.

The man on the boat was wearing a light black scholarly robe. Although he looked thin and weak from afar, one could still tell that he was very robust. He looked at the approaching island with an indifferent expression, and the worry between his brows slowly disappeared with the wind.

Dean?" The dean has returned, a few days earlier than previously stated. Could it be that something happened on the way back? " A young man in a black uniform of the Nangong Imperial Clan was casually lying on the branch of a peach tree, playing with a peach blossom in his hand. His eyes seemed to ponder as he stared at the approaching boat.

"Forget it, it's good that the principal is back!" The man thought for a while before letting go of his worries. Standing on the tree branch, he lightly channeled his spiritual energy into his body and arrived at the seaside in the blink of an eye.

"President!" The man respectfully saluted President Nangong.

"Hmm, is the island quiet these days?" President Nangong walked down from the boat lightly, and looked at the man in front of him with a joyous expression.

"Reporting to Headmaster, if it's a movement …" "People from the Devil Cult snuck in from the island, and they even dared to make trouble in the forest near the academy." The man said angrily. Hearing the man's report, President Nangong's expression darkened, but in the next moment he regained his calm demeanor.

"They really are …" President Nangong muttered, but he seemed to have thought of something, after coming back to his senses, he left without saying a word.

President Nangong was a little depressed as he casually walked on the island. Everyone he met along the way looked at him in reverence, and no one dared to disturb his leisure. President Nangong wandered around for a while before calming himself down. Lowering his head to think, he turned around and flew towards the Nangong Academy.

When Shui Qinan sent Xiao You to the Academy early in the morning, she heard the people on the street talking about President Nangong returning to the Academy. Shui Qinan did not want to see him yet, as it was still a long time ago, so she was not in a hurry.

"Mother, let me tell you!" President Nangong is very powerful. " When Xiao You heard that the President Nangong had returned, he was very happy. When he was at the Academy, the person he admired the most was the President Nangong.

"Oh, then which one of mother and dean is stronger?" Seeing her son praise another person like this, Shui Qinan was a little jealous in her heart.

As expected, when Xiao You heard his mother's question, he was in such a difficult situation that his eyebrows knitted together. Mother was so good to him and she was also very powerful, but … Xiao You still knew in his heart that his mother was not as powerful as the President Nangong, ah! How difficult to answer!

Seeing Xiao You like this, Shui Qinan laughed in her heart, as expected, she was still a child! Shui Qinan bent down and gently tapped Xiao You's furrowed brows with his finger, and gently said, "Xiao You, if you continue to frown, you will become a little old man!"

Xiao You looked at his mother in shock, the temperature of her finger still on his forehead. Then, he snapped out of his daze, turned his smiling face to the side in embarrassment and didn't look at Shui Qinan. Mother is so annoying! He's still treating me like a child, Xiao You thought awkwardly in his heart, but the pink color in his ears had already sold him out.

"Xiao You, you are really big!" Shui Qinan smiled very gently at the tip of Xiao You's slightly red ears, and reached out to caress his long, soft hair.

The two of them soon arrived at the academy.

"Xiao You, you have to learn Spirit Arts well!" Shui Qinan released Xiao You's small hand and said gently.

"Mm, I will learn well. I want to protect mother!" Ever since that day, Xiao You deeply felt in his heart that it was important to become strong. He did not want to be a burden to his mother anymore, so he wanted to become strong to the point where he could protect her. Hearing Xiao You's words, Shui Qinan also knew that the matter that day had a huge impact on Xiao You, but it was his own decision, so she wouldn't ask about it.

"Alright, Xiao You is the strongest!" Shui Qinan bent her body and looked at Xiao You equally. Seeing Xiao You's unusual resolute and serious expression, Shui Qinan sighed in her heart as her right hand gently rubbed her head: "Alright, let's go in!"

Xiao You was helpless in his heart towards his mother's actions. His two small hands stroked his mother's messy hair and laughed: "Goodbye mother!"

Shui Qinan smiled and watched as Xiao You ran into the academy, then turned and left the academy.

"Miss Shui?" As Shui Qinan was walking on the street, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind him.

"Miss Shui, what a coincidence that it's really you!" Shui Qinan turned her head to look, it was actually Nangong Jin. Seeing Nangong Jin's worn out face, which he had not seen for a long time, the green grey under his eyes indicated that he must be troubled about something.

However, what Shui Qinan cared more about was why he would appear here. Shui Qinan said indifferently: "Why are you here?"

Nangong Jin's expression darkened, the joy on her face instantly disappeared by more than half as he sighed and said, "Let's go there to say it!" Hearing him say that, Shui Qinan knew that something big was going on, so she followed Nangong Jin into a teahouse's private room.
