Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 365 - 367: How Did The Top Student Emerge?

Most people of Fusang didn't believe they had done anything wrong back then. Moreover, this time, the last of King Kyochang of Asaka Palace's bloodline had been extinguished in Dragon Country. No matter how one looked at it, it was Dragon Country's fault.

Many people of Fusang, oblivious to their own errors, felt that Dragon Country had offended them. They began voicing their opinions, hoping the Chief Minister would negotiate with Dragon Country to demand they hand over Wu Tian. Otherwise, they would issue a sweeping condemnation of Dragon Country.

The footage from Heibai Zi had also been uploaded. The people of Fusang didn't care about Akiyama Youshi's death, but the death of Heishan Zheye sparked their dissent.

"They actually killed a member of the Imperial Family!"

"Although the Chief Minister holds the real power now, the Imperial Family still represents the face of Fusang." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Heishan Zheye... he was my classmate! I never imagined he'd be a descendant of the renowned King Kyochang of Asaka Palace. That Wu Tian... he's slapping our entire nation in the face!"

"This is too much."

"Indeed!"

"Dragon Country must hand over Wu Tian, or we will not rest."

Some in Fusang were more reasonable. "Today's Dragon Country is vastly different from the old Dragon Country, which would only cede territory and pay reparations. I think it will be very difficult to make them hand someone over."

"Difficult? Then Dragon Country must at least apologize to our nation."

"Yes, Dragon Country must apologize."

All of Fusang erupted into chaos as most of its populace seethed with outrage. But some of them had deeply furrowed brows.

"With Wu Tian being so powerful, do you think our Sword Saint can defeat him?"

This question appeared on various forums, each with one or two voices of calm. Suddenly, the outraged Fusang populace was stunned into silence. That was right. With Wu Tian's combat prowess, who could possibly be his adversary?

The Fusang officials immediately pinned several posts to reassure the populace, telling them that the Sword Saint possessed three Ghost Piercers imbued with the power of the Ghost God. Only after the officials' vigorous explanations did the people of Fusang finally settle down.

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister personally met with several newspaper publishers, ordering them not to report on the matter. He also met with officials from the Ministry of Culture and mandated that this part of Fusang's history be revised in the textbooks. Wu Tian could be depicted as the winner, but only if it was written that he won through dishonorable means.

The Ministry of Culture officials were only slightly troubled by this. They agreed, as altering history books was a frequent occurrence. They just hadn't anticipated having the opportunity to make such a revision themselves during their tenure.

Wu Tian left the Beichen Martial Arts School.

He was unaware of the events transpiring in Fusang, nor did he know that the nation was blaming Dragon Country and demanding an apology.

After leaving the martial arts school, he looked up at the sky. He figured that if he walked to Jixia Academy, he'd arrive just as school was letting out. So, he headed toward Jixia Academy at an ordinary pace, buying some grilled skewers along the way to give to his daughter. He arrived five minutes before the final bell. The school gate was already packed with a crowd of people who were, undoubtedly, all parents.

Among them, Wu Tian was the youngest, most handsome, and had the best demeanor. He stood out from the crowd and instantly attracted the attention of many parents.

The fathers thought to themselves, I was that handsome when I was young, too. Yes, definitely!

The mothers, however, sighed internally. Why isn't my husband that handsome?

As Wu Tian stood at the school gate, his Spiritual Sense enveloped the entire mountain. He could clearly see what the little one was doing. She was focused on her homework. Most children frown while doing homework, and Wu Tian, who had been a good student himself, was no different back in the day.

Back then, most children only had one thought on their minds: Damn it, why is there so much homework? It's not like I'll get a perfect score even if I do it all!

And what about the little one? When she did her homework, one could say she was thoroughly enjoying herself.

I love studying. Studying makes me happy!

Wu Tian believed his daughter would definitely surpass him academically. It was only a matter of time before she became a top student. Seeing this, however, made Wu Tian feel much more relieved. He had been genuinely concerned about whether it was good for a child so young to start studying. If a child truly isn't suited for academics, forcing them would only backfire. In severe cases, it could even lead to issues like autism or depression.

There are masters in every trade. If she isn't cut out for academics, then as a parent, I shouldn't blame her. I should help foster her other interests instead.

Suddenly, an elderly man stopped Wu Tian. "Excuse me, are you Gugu's father?"

"What? Gugu's dad is here?" At once, most of the other parents gathered around Wu Tian.

Wu Tian was stunned, not understanding what was happening.

"My son says your daughter is very cute and wants to be friends with her."

"Yes, my son feels the same way."

Most of them belonged to wealthy circles and recognized Wu Tian as the president of Boundless Corporation. Realizing their sons had a crush on his daughter, they were eager to introduce the boys to him.

"Make way!" Wu Tian said coldly.

The air around them suddenly turned frigid. Though the parents didn't understand what was happening, they instinctively parted to let him through.

Wu Tian stood his ground and sighed. Having such an outstanding daughter is a real headache.

Finally, school let out.

Wu Tian was standing right at the front, and the little one spotted him immediately.

"Dad!"

With a loud shout, she took off in a run, a little girl like the wind, and leaped into Wu Tian's arms. She hugged his neck and asked sweetly, "Dad, did you miss me?"

"No," Wu Tian said.

"Nonsense." The little one rolled her eyes, looking adorable.

Kong Zhiyuan had also come to the school gate personally, worried about the little one. He visibly relaxed upon seeing Wu Tian was there.

Holding his daughter, Wu Tian said, "Say goodbye to Principal Kong."

"Goodbye, Principal!" The little one waved her small hand vigorously, clearly having a good impression of Kong Zhiyuan.

Kong Zhiyuan smiled and nodded. He reminded Wu Tian that the child had great potential and would become someone famous in the future, so he should take good care of her at home.

Wu Tian nodded and left, still holding the little one.

"Dad, I feel like you just experienced something fun," the little one suddenly asked.

"Fun? No," Wu Tian shook his head. "Just a few small things happened. Nothing interesting." After a pause, he asked, "Do you like school?"

"I do!" she answered, unlike most children.

「At the same time.」

On a steamship in the middle of the ocean, Yong Wu from Shaolin finally encountered the Fusang Sword Saint, who was heading to Dragon Country on a wooden raft.

"You've come to stop me?" the Fusang Sword Saint asked, his tone flat. "Are you worthy?" he added coldly.
