The Young Matriarch-Chapter 1297: Hanhan: I Didn’t Expect to Preside at the Ceremony at This Age
The outside world was abuzz with discussions about Bai Chuwei offending the Heavenly Dao, and it wasn’t particularly great within Kunlun Academy either, with parents calling one after another:
"Kiddo, Dad heard some news that your Vice Dean Bai has offended the heavens? Why don’t you take a leave and come back home to lie low for a bit?"
"Sweetie, I know you like the Immortal Teacher, but you’re our only child. You’re still a newbie in the Cultivation World, without the ability to protect yourself. Take a leave and come home for a few days to check things out. Please, Mom is begging you."
"I heard that Bai Chuwei’s two disciples are getting married at the academy? Isn’t that asking for divine punishment? Take a leave and come back first!"
"..."
Every single call was from families hoping their children would take a temporary leave, making a group of new students very hesitant.
Because the academy had not officially announced any leave, all classes were proceeding as normal.
Run away just like that?
However, Bai Chuwei didn’t refuse the students’ leave requests, nor did she blame the parents.
Concern for their children’s safety in the academy was a normal parental response.
What surprised Bai Chuwei was... that only a few students had taken leave to go home; the vast majority were still staying at the academy.
"I only get to form a companion bond once in my life, so of course, it will be a lively, lively, lively event! I merely gave those juniors some benefits..."
Hualing spoke righteously, his face full of joy.
The venue must be bustling!
His senior sister was such a wonderful girl, and forming a companion bond with him was already a grievance for her. If the ceremony were cold and cheerless, it would be even worse.
Leng Xueqin’s usually icy face gradually broke into a smile, whispering, "Fool."
Hualing just foolishly grinned.
Bai Chuwei hoped that her disciples could all be happy and joyful.
Even the Heavenly Dao had no right to interfere in this!
Since all the academy students were willing to join in the merriment, the ancestor was sure to protect the entire academy!

After a few days of preparation, the twenty-eighth arrived right on schedule.
During the day, Kunlun Academy held classes as usual, but when night fell, it was all decorated with lights, and red lanterns were hung from the foot to the peak of the mountain, looking extremely beautiful in the night.
Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan sat at the main seat, surrounded by watching students, their faces full of smiles.
Xu Xingchen stood closest to the entrance, far from Bai Chuwei and the others, as if ready to flee at the first sign of trouble.
Xu Xingchen’s face was all scrunched up, knowing more than those newcomers and aware of how to access the underground forums.
The outside world was shocked by Bai Chuwei, that crazy woman, offending the Heavenly Dao, sure to bring divine punishment.
Honestly, his first thought was to take leave to save his life.
But not a single student in the class took leave, so how could he bring himself to do it?
Wasn’t this just forcing him to stay?
Besides, Tong Qingyan was still nowhere to be found; he couldn’t just abandon Tong Qingyan and run by himself.
Half willing, half reluctant, Xu Xingchen stayed to join in the lively event.
Xu Xingchen was somewhat distracted, occasionally glancing at the tranquil night sky, afraid of any sign of thunder.
Xu Xingchen had never attended the companion bond ceremony of Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan, only knowing that Bai Chuwei’s two disciples had a much grander ceremony than his and Liao Jinjin’s, attracting the whole Kunlun Academy to celebrate.
Liao Jinjin was nothing but a bad woman, coaxed by Bai Chuwei into tricking him into marriage.
"The ceremony is about to start!!" someone shouted.
Duan Feihan glanced at Bai Chuwei beside him, not expecting that in his twenties, he was already seated in a high position.
