The Young Matriarch-Chapter 1457: From Now On, Bai Chuwei Stands Alone as the National Scholar
"Ancestor, you’ve received the Nobel Prize, visited the Twin Gods Temple, and Kunlun Academy wants to know when exactly you’ll be going back," Xue Qiu, having handed over the Jiuzhou Forum to the programmers at the Unnatural Management Bureau, curiously asked Bai Chuwei.
Kunlun Academy always felt that Imperial University didn’t want to return their Deputy Director Bai and kept urging every few days.
Bai Chuwei replied leisurely, "No rush, I think there’s still another award I haven’t received."
Xue Qiu was a bit confused and searched on the computer to see if there were any major global awards recently. Was there anything besides the Nobel Prize?
Butler Li knocked and entered from outside, his face lively with excitement. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
As the butler for the Ancestor, he wasn’t shaken even when archaeology experts nearly surrounded Sky City last time, but now he was extremely excited!
Butler Li’s eyes were shining as he excitedly shouted, "Miss, outside... people from the Honor Academy have come! They hope to have a chat with you."
The China Honor Academy!
This... this isn’t just a simple award...
Xue Qiu wanted to scream with his face in his hands: Ancestor, you’re amazing!
Living for five thousand years, being the only deity in the world, and still being able to win this award even under the radar?
This is China’s greatest honor, bar none!

Next to Imperial University, construction on the Bai Chuwei Museum began in earnest. The principal, true to his word, even took out his own savings to upgrade the students’ teaching equipment.
The director of teaching stood off to the side, staring blankly at the workers laying the foundation, with some of the pits already over ten meters deep.
The principal was serious about building the Bai Chuwei Museum, with the foundation already over ten meters deep!
"Principal, your funds are really insufficient."
The principal frowned, realizing the director of teaching finally said something useful; the funds indeed weren’t enough to build the museum, and his savings had gone into the new equipment, so he couldn’t provide any more support.
Knowing that applying for government funding takes a long time, the principal decided to act quickly, seizing every day possible. He immediately took out his phone and made a call. As the other side picked up, the principal’s old face turned slightly red: "We’re not planning to build a teaching building, but rather the Bai Chuwei Museum. The foundation is already laid, so... we want to apply for additional funding."
The person on the other end was momentarily stunned, then laughed and scolded, "You old guy, how are you more informed than us? Building the Bai Chuwei Museum is great, really great. They’ll probably allocate an additional billion for the investment."
The principal was dumbfounded: "??"
What?
A billion?
Building the Bai Chuwei Museum is indeed good; the principal didn’t doubt his decision, but how come it was approved so readily?
Building a teaching building would only cost a few hundred thousand to a million, so why did it suddenly multiply a hundredfold?
The principal felt it was a little unreal.
"Old Tian, are you still upset that I beat you in Go last week? Why are you babbling nonsense?" The principal was annoyed, "I’m talking serious business."
"I’m also talking serious business! Are you pretending with me? You’ve already planned to build the Bai Chuwei Museum; didn’t you hear any hints before? Do you take me for a three-year-old?"
The principal and the director of teaching exchanged a confused glance. What’s going on?
What hints?
Could it be Professor Li inadvertently leaked it, revealing Bai Chuwei’s true age?
The principal’s face changed, lowering his voice: "Could it be you know Bai Chuwei has lived for four..." hundred years?
"Bai Chuwei has become a National Scholar; the Honor Academy of China is awarding the medal personally! It’s being broadcast live on CCTV Channel 1; how can you say you don’t know?"
National... Scholar?
The principal and the director of teaching were so shocked their legs went weak, grabbing onto a large willow tree for support.
The principal took a long time to process before stammering, "...I really didn’t know."
The China National Scholar honor, to date, China has had less than ten, and except for Bai Chuwei, they have all passed away.
The Nobel Prize is easier to obtain; becoming a National Scholar is rare! It can only be given to someone who has made epoch-making contributions to China!
Bai Chuwei restored the Dragon Vein, founded Kunlun Academy, established the Jiuzhou Forum, heralding the start of the Cultivation Era, setting China’s cultivation ahead of the world.
She truly deserves the title of National Scholar!
From this point, Bai Chuwei stands unrivaled as a National Scholar!
