Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 356 Supervisory Group
"Jin Feiyan, do you still remember me?"
Xiao Yi’s playful voice suddenly came through, causing Jin Feiyan to start.
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice.
She saw Xiao Yi looking at her with a half-smile, though Jin Feiyan just felt that the person before her was somewhat familiar. With a slight knit of her brows, she shook her head and said, "I don’t know you... Little brother, are you trying to hit on me? Sorry, though you’re handsome, I’m not looking to date anyone at the moment!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Yu Huaxian: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Xiao Yi touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "I’m not trying to date you..."
"Then are you trying to keep me as a mistress? That won’t do either. I’m a girl with principles, and I don’t do such things..." Jin Feiyan’s head shaking was as resolute as a rattle-drum as she firmly said.
Xiao Yi: "..."
Pfft!
Yu Huaxian and others had never seen Xiao Yi this flustered; they couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Xiao Yi glared at them fiercely.
Only then did Yu Huaxian speak, "Jin Feiyan, the man standing before you is the head of Xiaoshanhe Institute, Xiao Yi!"
"Eh?"
Jin Feiyan, startled, sized up Xiao Yi but showed no sign of embarrassment. With her hands balled into fists propping up her chin, her eyes sparkling with stars, she said, "Little brother, you’re our academy’s head? I’ve long heard that the head of Xiaoshanhe Institute, Xiao Yi, is young and handsome and possesses immense strength. Seeing you today truly lives up to your reputation!"
Xiao Yi cleared his throat to interrupt Jin Feiyan’s words.
This guy changes faces faster than flipping through a book.
Xiao Yi said, "Jin Feiyan, you really do forget important people easily, huh! Black Hawk Gang, remember that?"
"Hmm?"
Jin Feiyan’s whole body stiffened, and her eyes widened in shock. Her autumn-water-like pupils shone with astonishment and surprise as she sized up Xiao Yi, "You, you, you’re the one who wiped out the Black Hawk Gang?"
How could she forget Xiao Yi?
Back then, all she had in mind was to use Xiao Yi to escape; later, she heard that the Black Hawk Gang was exterminated.
At the time, Jin Feiyan was shocked as well.
She specifically fled to the countryside and hid for a while until she recently heard that the top three geniuses would receive a Dharma Manifestation Realm’s Martial Dao Divine Fruit, and only then did she return to the capital.
She didn’t expect...
She still couldn’t avoid it, after all!
Jin Feiyan looked crestfallen and said, "Head Xiao, I really didn’t do it on purpose. How about this, I don’t want the Martial Dao Divine Fruit anymore, can you just let me go like it was nothing?"
"..."
Xiao Yi’s lips curved slightly, his face full of amusement as he said, "Since you’ve walked into the net of your own accord, it’s impossible to let you go now. However, if you’re willing to join Shanhe Court, I might consider not punishing you!"
"Huh?"
Jin Feiyan stunned, looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, her slender finger pointing to her nose, "You want me to join Shanhe Court?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
Jin Feiyan hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Are you sure you want me to join Shanhe Court, and not just thinking of tricking me there so you can punish me later?"
Xiao Yi said, "Securing the first place in the talent competition sufficiently proves your potential, enough to become a disciple at Shanhe Court!"
Jin Feiyan’s eyes showed a hint of wariness as she asked, "Are you sure it’s my talent you’re interested in, and not... lusting after my body?"
Xiao Yi: "..."
God damn lusting after your body!
Yu Huaxian and the others couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
Even when facing the powerhouses in the Dharma Manifestation Realm, the always composed Xiao Yi had never been so vexed. He shook his head and said indifferently, "Just keep your mind at ease, I’m not interested in little apples!"
"Little, little apple?"
Jin Feiyan was taken aback, subconsciously glanced at herself, then immediately puffed out her chest, angrily saying, "Who says I’m a little apple? You’re a little apple, your whole family is little apples..."
Xiao Yi gave her a glance, refusing to be led by the nose by a woman, he indifferently said, "Fine, since you’re unwilling to join Shanhe Court, then you can forget about the first place prize."
"Wait a minute..."
Jin Feiyan’s face showed urgency as she called out quickly, "I am willing to join Xiaoshanhe Institute, but I need you to agree to one condition!"
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yi looked at her.
Jin Feiyan said, "I want to take you as my master!"
"Take me as your master?"
Xiao Yi was startled for a moment, then looked at her with a playful expression and said, "You may first join my sect and become my nominal disciple. If within half a month, you manage to step into the Golden Core Realm, I will consider taking you as my disciple!"
"Master, please accept your disciple’s bow!"
Jin Feiyan quickly knelt down and kowtowed deeply.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao Yi lifted Jin Feiyan with an invisible surge of Qi and looked towards Yu Huaxian, "Notify the top ten thousand talents of the battle to rest tonight and return to Xiaoshanhe Institute tomorrow at noon for the initiation ceremony."
"Yes!"
Yu Huaxian accepted the order with an excited expression.
The disciples who ranked among the top ten thousand talents all had good potential, and if these new forces were to join Xiaoshanhe Institute.
With Xiao Yi’s methods, it was definitely possible to nurture a large group of strong practitioners.
This was the hope for the rise of Xiaoshanhe Institute.
Jin Feiyan followed closely alongside Xiao Yi and asked curiously, "Master, why don’t we return to Xiaoshanhe Institute right now?"
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, his lips curling up with a hint of amusement, "We ought to give those people some time, shouldn’t we?"
"Hmm?"
Jin Feiyan was stunned, and then thinking of the ’those people’ Xiao Yi referred to, probably the strong practitioners from the top ten thousand, she didn’t ponder any further. As she saw Xiao Yi preparing to leave, she hurriedly followed, "Master, where are you planning to go?"
Xiao Yi glanced at her and said, "To the Treasure Pavilion."
"Treasure Pavilion?"
Jin Feiyan’s eyes lit up, "Master, can you take your disciple with you?"
Upon Jin Feiyan’s pleading, Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly, "Going together is no problem, but you must control your hands!"
This guy had a history of misconduct!
If she were to sneak around in the Treasure Pavilion, it would be an embarrassment!
After Jin Feiyan promised repeatedly, Xiao Yi led her to the Treasure Pavilion. Explore more at novelbuddy

Li Shengtian, Tian Xiao, and Chen Shuiwen were kneeling in front of Emperor Qian, having done so for a full two hours already.
Emperor Qian set down the memorial, his face expressionless as he said, "My loyal subjects, are you truly resolved to this?"
"Your Majesty, our actions are not driven by personal grievances but by a profound sense of responsibility towards the countless citizens of the Great Qian Dynasty!" Li Shengtian spoke with a heavy voice.
Tian Xiao’s head banged against the ground, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Your Majesty, those who have distinguished themselves in the genius battle are definitely the future pillars of the Great Qian Dynasty. How can we stand by and watch them thrown into a pit of fire?"
Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes and said, "Pit of fire? Xiaoshanhe Institute is a sect supported by our royal family, how can you speak of it as a pit of fire?"
"Your Majesty, Xiaoshanhe Institute has been in decline for many years and lacks even a Spirit Gathering Array... Even though Xiao Yi has brought in those powerful people from Beast Emperor City, to the best of my knowledge, they are slaves bought from the slave market... How can they become qualified mentors? To hand over the future pillars of the Great Qian Dynasty to a group of slaves for guidance is to ruin them..."
Chen Shuiwen knelt in front of Emperor Qian, tearfully imploring, "Your Majesty, we humbly request you to send an inspection team to Xiaoshanhe Institute to audit it, sending those disciples to Xiaoshanhe Institute is truly a waste of heaven’s gifts!"
Emperor Qian tapped his fingers lightly on the table, speaking indifferently, "Sending an inspection team to examine isn’t a problem, but if, as you say, Xiaoshanhe Institute fails to provide a suitable cultivation environment for those disciples, what should be done with the more than ten thousand of them?"
Li Shengtian said, "I believe although Shanhe Martial Arts Academy is newly established, it has strong teachers and is deeply rooted. They can be sent to Shanhe Martial Arts Academy!"
"I second the motion!"
Tian Xiao also spoke up.
Chen Shuiwen pounded his chest and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, your servant will not let you down!"
Emperor Qian pondered for a moment, then spoke solemnly, "So be it, since you insist, I will appoint Qi together with the three of you to form an inspection team and go to Xiaoshanhe Institute for the audit. If it’s as you say, and Xiaoshanhe Institute is unable to provide those disciples with a suitable cultivation environment, then have them go to Shanhe Martial Arts Academy. However, if it turns out that what you say is not true, don’t blame me for charging you with the crime of defaming and entrapping an important court official..."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
The three of them, excited, exchanged glances, revealing vicious and triumphant expressions, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, the disciples you worked so hard to recruit are about to become ours!"
