“Alright, alright!”

This big brother was directing the wind and clouds one second, and the next second he got scolded by a schoolteacher, instantly turning into a scaredy-cat.

He immediately tossed his cigarette away.

Looking at how quickly this big brother crumbled and how adept he was at pinching out the cigarette,

Qin Hao glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

As for the big brother’s earlier claims about being high-ranking and unchallenged at home,

the credibility seemed quite low.

The northern big brother gave an awkward smile, “Well, it’s school; let’s show some respect for them, give the teachers some face. Outside of school, brother, I’d compare heights and hand sizes with them.”

Listening to the northern big brother’s self-justifying manner,

Qin Hao nodded; he didn’t say much more.

The two of them had already arrived at the third-grade classroom.

Inside the classroom, quite a few parents had already arrived one after another.

Qin Hao and the northern big brother in the mink coat entered the classroom.

Li Yixi led Qin Hao to her seat, and the seat of the big brother’s son was right in front of Li Yixi.

The big brother sat down in front of them and started chatting with Qin Hao.

“By the way, brother, my name is Li Baofu. I haven’t asked yet; what’s your name?”

“Qin Hao.”

The northern big brother nodded, “Qin Ritian? That’s a powerful name, overflowing with dominance! What do you do?”

Qin Hao replied, “I usually live on the mountain, running a Taoist temple. Mainly, I earn incense money.”

The northern big brother said, “Taoist? I don’t usually interact much with that profession. Where’s your temple? I’ll come by to burn some incense for the God of Wealth sometime.”

Qin Hao sweat profusely, “My temple doesn’t house the God of Wealth; we enshrine the Three Pure Ancestors.”

Qin Hao was speechless.

This big brother was really something!

No filter on what you say, huh!

Qingyun Mountain enshrines the top deities of the Taoist religion, The Three Pure Ancestors.

There’s no place for the God of Wealth.

If you want to worship the God of Wealth, go to the God of Wealth Temple.

The northern big brother muttered, “What kind of Taoist temple doesn’t have the God of Wealth? If you don’t pray to the God of Wealth, will your incense offerings be abundant? How much can your temple earn in a month?”

Qin Hao replied, “Not much, just enough to maintain operations, I suppose.”

He estimated internally.

Qingyun Mountain’s charitable organizations and poverty aid, the monthly turnover was in the billions.

The incense offerings for Qingyun Mountain alone would bring in at least ten million a month solely in donations.

After all, it’s the leading temple in Dragon Country–no kidding.

Although the income was substantial,

It was almost all spent on charity and was hardly enough.

So when Qin Hao said it just sufficed to maintain operations, he wasn’t wrong.

The northern big brother nodded, “It’s tough for Taoist temples these days, not many believers after all. By the way, have you heard about the buzz around Qingyun Mountain lately? I heard from random online chatter that the Taoists there are quite mystical. Have you visited?”

Qin Hao touched the mask on his face, “Qingyun Mountain, yes, been there. But whether it’s mystical or not, who’s to say? Could be just hearsay on the internet.”

As the head of Qingyun Mountain,

Qin Hao surely couldn’t praise himself.

He could only say so much.

Whether it’s mystical depends on the person–if you believe, then it’s mystical; if not, so be it.

The northern big brother agreed, “That’s what I think too. With the real and fake of the internet, how can there be good people? Tales about Taoists cultivating immortality, the Purple Robed Heavenly Master–who knows what’s real?

I’ve heard people say that the Purple Robed Heavenly Master is very powerful, but can he beat a tiger in a fight? Is he stronger than a water buffalo? Let him come before me, I’m not boasting, but that guy in the purple robe, his small frame–I squeeze him with one hand, believe it or not?”

The northern big brother boasted.

One hand to deal with the one in the purple robe–asking Qin Hao if he believed it or not.

Qin Hao took a deep breath.

Brother, you’re terrifying indeed!

To pinch him with one hand?

And then asking him if he believes it?

Well, Qin Hao certainly did!

With his current cultivation, slicing a Nascent Soul with a Golden Core was a piece of cake.

Facing a Divinity Transformation, not to mention a sure win, but at least it’d be an even match.

To pinch him with one hand, one would have to be a peak Returning Void Great Power or in the Unification Realm.

This big brother must be an expert!

Watching the conversation, no matter what he said, Qin Hao simply nodded in agreement.

The northern big brother was elated.

Feeling like he had found a kindred spirit,

The big brother asked, “Brother, your wife’s not too strict with you, is she?”

Qin Hao smiled slightly, “I’m not married; that’s not my daughter, I’m just her teacher.”

The big brother laughed, “Even better. After the parent-teacher meeting, come with me. Get in my car; I’ll take you to my new bar. Show you around. Let me share a secret with you–I’ve got girls there, and they’re just one word: smooth!”

This big brother really liked to share the good stuff!

He even wanted to take Qin Hao to the bar to experience that smoothness.

Qin Hao showed a puzzled expression.

Taking him to the bar?

That…

Was somewhat outlandish.

Qin Hao didn’t say anything.

It was then that the class teacher walked in.

The parent-teacher meeting began.

When the class teacher arrived,

the big brother finally turned his head.

During the meeting, the teacher discussed students’ learning problems and some academic plans following the procedure.

Half an hour later, the parent-teacher meeting concluded.

Just before dispersal, the class teacher called out a few students’ names.

“Li Yixi, Li Xingyu, Wang Yuchen, and Chen Yu’an!”

Then said, “The parents of these students, please come to the office with me.”

After the teacher left,

Qin Hao stood up, joining the other three parents toward the office.

Embarrassing!

Truly freaking embarrassing!

After the parent-teacher meeting, while other parents left,

these four students with lofty ambition were singled out by the homeroom teacher for a chat in the office.

And those singled out for a private chat with the teacher… could they be anything good?

Sure enough, when Qin Hao entered the office, the three parents ahead were already being lectured by the teacher.

“Li Xingyu’s father, right? Li Xingyu failed math. You need to focus on his studies! Don’t just look at money; money is endless, but you should pay more attention to your child.”

“Wang Yuchen’s parents, your child slept during the exam. What’s he doing at night? Pay more attention to his lifestyle!”

…

The first three got their scolding.

Once they were done,

the class teacher finally turned to Qin Hao and Li Yixi.

“Are you Li Yixi’s parent?”

Qin Hao nodded, “Hello, teacher.”

The class teacher heaved a sigh and after a while, she said, “Let me put it this way; the combined issues of those three students aren’t as numerous as your child’s.

Did you sign your child up for some cult classes or something? She doesn’t pay attention in class, meditates in her seat after class, and even talks back to the teacher, claiming studying is pointless.

She says she’s practicing the art of the Flying Sword. I wanted to discuss with you–has the child been watching too many fantasy dramas?”

The class teacher didn’t know what else to say.

Li Yixi’s problem wasn’t just academic anymore.

It also involved the mental aspect.

When the class teacher heard Li Yixi claim she was practicing the art of the Flying Sword and could control six or seven swords at the same time,

she was deeply shaken.

What on earth had this child been through?

How could she say such things?

Could a primary school student say this?

Listening to the teacher, Qin Hao quickly nodded, then gave Li Yixi a stern look.

Qin Hao said, “You’re right, teacher, it’s my negligence. I’ve told this child before: study is study, cultivation is cultivation, the two cannot be confused. At her age, she should be focused on learning. It was my fault for not teaching her well.”

As he spoke, Qin Hao looked back at Li Yixi,

And said, “Disobedient student, haven’t I told you the art of the Flying Sword and cultivation should only be practiced on the mountain? After descending the mountain, you must not show off in front of others, let alone mention it to ordinary people? Did I send you to school to read books, or to meditate and refine Qi?”

Li Yixi was startled, her head hanging low as she quickly said, “I won’t dare again, teacher.”

Hearing Qin Hao’s words, the class teacher was utterly confused.

“What do you mean, parent? I wanted you to educate your child to study well and to forget about cultivating immortality and sword techniques; those are all elements of fiction. What you’re saying–I don’t understand?”

The class teacher was thrown off.

Li Yixi wasn’t very bright.

Why did it feel like this adult wasn’t too bright either?

Talking about flying swords, cultivation, meditating to refine Qi, and not mentioning it to ordinary people.

Could it be that the parent was also afflicted with a second-year adolescent fantasy syndrome?

No way…

At that moment, the class teacher was at a loss.
