Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ji Linglong became the temporary family head. As she was out for a long period, she had not experienced dealing with some matters and had difficulties. Fortunately, Ji Ru was at the Ji residence during this period. With help provided and her intelligence, Ji Linglong quickly became used to her new role.

And given how Ji Ru had dealt with Ji Qiu, it was difficult for Ji Fengyan to reject meeting the Emperor.

After resting for a short while and leaving Liu Huo at home, she headed for the palace.

When the Emperor heard that Ji Fengyan had returned alive, he was undoubtedly overjoyed and immediately ordered people to bring Ji Fengyan into the main palace.

“Greeting to Your Majesty,” Ji Fengyan paid her respects to the Emperor.

The smile on the Emperor’s face was not hidden at all. He immediately raised his hand. “Get up quickly. I heard that you had prevented a huge battle at the capital institute with your powers. It’s really impressive. Previously, when I heard about the news of your death, I was truly regretful. Now that you have returned safely, it’s definitely fortunate. Come, someone, hand her a seat!”

The Emperor was in a good mood and ordered someone to carry a chair and specially gave Ji Fengyan the permission to sit down to chat.

Ji Fengyan also did not refuse and sat on the chair at ease.

“Many thanks to Your Majesty.”

“You don’t have to be this polite. If not because of you this time, the loss at the capital institute will definitely be greater. Thinking about how the institution had all the young talent of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, it was definitely a huge loss.” the Emperor waved his hand and showered Ji Fengyan with compliments.

At the start when the incident at the capital institute was spread to everyone, everyone was shocked. No one could imagine that the top education institution of the kingdom would be ambushed by the demon clan and with no early indication at all. The reinforcement troops had even reached late. If the nation’s grand tutor had not personally gathered his men, it would be an even greater disaster.

The capital institute had a special meaning to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. It also had a symbolic meaning. Now that it was destroyed by the demon clan, it could affect many other areas. Luckily, Ji Fengyan had used her powers to prevent the capital institute from seeming to be completely gone.

The Emperor had propagated the bravery of Ji Fengyan at the capital institute to stabilise everyone’s emotions, by making use of the students’ efforts in fighting the demon clan to dissipate the uneasiness that everyone was feeling.

Hence, the Emperor would naturally not treat Ji Fengyan, the person he was using as propaganda, lightly.

Ji Fengyan could also roughly guess the Emperor’s intentions. But she had only specially come to prove that she had not died because of what Ji Ru had said.

“Your Majesty had complimented me too much. This is merely my duty. Compared to the institution’s mentor and institute director, I’m nothing.” Ji Fengyan said humbly.

Upon brining up the institute director, the Emperor also could not help but sigh.

“Mentor had taught everyone earnestly and protected the capital institute for so many years. Now that he is in deep sleep with the institution and had become like this to protect his students, I believe that he had also accomplished one of his wishes.”

Ji Fengyan lowered her eyes slightly as she recalled the gentle smile on the institute director. That old man who had always liked to call them his “children” had eventually sacrificed his life for his children.

It was really moving to see such a dedicated teacher.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about these sorrowful past. Now that you have returned, I have already told my fourth child. Did you know that when the news of your death was passed on to us, that lad had almost fainted from crying?” the Emperor changed his thoughts and said with a smile.

After the Emperor said that, a slender figure immediately rushed into the main palace and lunged at Ji Fengyan.
