Yang Ji and Yang Xu begin their mission to impart their knowledge to younger students by abducting them using a list prepared by their mothers. Meanwhile, teachers Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng discuss the chaos caused by the twins' actions, acknowledging the 'opportunities' presented to the selected students, though many will likely fall into a coma.

Repeatedly imparting knowledge proved to be… wearisome.

This drain wasn't limited to Yang Ji; Yang Xu felt it too. Although her primary role involved escorting the youngsters to the Recovery Hall, Yang Ji's constant Qi expenditure eventually depleted hers as well.

Fortuitously, a plentiful supply of Eight Revolutions Qi Recovering Pills was at their disposal, enabling them to sustain this endeavor without pause.

This ‘without pause’ extended even through the night.

Of course, interspersed breaks were still necessary. Even if one Twin imparted insights while the other consumed Pills for recuperation, the restoration rate couldn't match the speed at which the subjects were induced into dormant cultivation. Consequently, after the initial group of children, the rate at which bodies appeared in the Recovery Hall naturally began to decrease.

Thanks to these Pills, their efforts weren't halted by the setting sun. They pressed on. After all, the uncertainty of when trouble might arise loomed. To bolster their Mothers’ strategy, swift action was paramount before any opposition could mobilize.

It must be acknowledged that they even honed their skills in this process. Those undergoing the ‘treatment’ exhibited diminishing resistance. Initially, a glimpse of one of the Twins’ faces might still be visible. However, soon enough, the subjects would find themselves in darkness, confined within their own Knowledge Sea, before they even realized what had transpired…

But, shouldn't this activity cease once darkness fell and the students had returned to their dormitories? What about the Isolation Arrays within the dorms?

The Twins had initially anticipated ceasing their actions as well. Little did they know that the Heavenly Demon Queen would willingly step in to offer her assistance!

With the aid of this unparalleled expert in Arrays, what could possibly impede them?

The dormitories were being systematically infiltrated. It could be said that once these children were immobilized, their capture became significantly easier.

Thus, they continued.

Once more, one by one, children were drawn into their grasp, ultimately finding themselves in the Recovery Hall…

Naturally, this implied the Recovery Hall operated continuously, accommodating the influx of children. Had they not made prior arrangements, this situation could have presented considerable challenges. However, with support from the other Halls, these children were managed in an organized manner.

Yet, at this bustling site, the receptionist who had attended to Yang Ji had vanished without a trace.

No one knew of her whereabouts, nor who she truly was at this juncture. It was as if her very existence had been erased. Intriguingly, it was a mystery why no one seemed to be searching for her.

And while the Twins were engrossed in their tasks…

“I presume, then, that we have reached an agreement?”

“My, my. Men dislike their women being so stern. Offer a little smile, won’t you?”

A chilling silence permeated the room, making it feel as cold as ice…

“Sheesh. Can’t even take a joke. But I must commend your audacity in coming here alone. Are you not fearful of what I might do to you, considering what you’ve done to me?”

“Should such coercion hold any sway over me, you would hardly be in your current position. That much, at the very least, should be clear to you.”

“Oh. How boastful of you to utter such words.”

The boy detected a cold scoff and let out a sigh.

“For a noble Lady such as yourself to resort to such measures to compel me… Well, should I consider myself honored? Very well. I shall accept your terms. It’s not as if I have many other options in this situation, after all.”

“The assurance.”

“I shall swear upon my Dao Heart.”

“That will not be sufficient.”

“Damn. It is indeed challenging to deal with Primordial Beings like you. In that case, I shall allow you to retain that as your leverage. Are you satisfied now?”

“Form a covenant with that child.”

The boy pondered for a moment before relenting. “Fine. But I do have certain conditions.”

“You all didn’t need to carry out this plan behind my back. To think you actually secured all the teachers’ acknowledgments without my knowledge, just as a precaution.” Yang Kai’s voice resonated through his room as a woman placed her arms around his neck.

“Husband, would it not be better for you to distance yourself from this affair?” A gentle, seductive voice filled his ear, a whisper emanating from behind. Naturally, it was Yu Ru Meng.

“Precisely. Entrust the political maneuvering to us. There’s no need for you to handle everything yourself.” Another melodious voice emerged, tugging at the heartstrings. It was Shan Qing Luo.

“All of you have appointed me as the Principal; I must bear responsibility for this position.” Yang Kai stated, but Yu Ru Meng merely shook her head.

“Husband, they do not perceive you merely as the Principal of a school. They recognize you as Yang Kai, the sole individual to have attained the World Creation Realm and established High Heaven Palace, the preeminent Sect in this world. Otherwise, they would not be so intent on utilizing their children in this manner. Removing your hand from this matter would best serve your standing. Leave the politics to us.”

“Besides, it’s not as if you’re unaware of why we wanted you appointed as Principal. It certainly wasn’t to deal with trifles like this.”

“Yes, I’m aware. You want me to have a seat here for our kids. At least, it allows me more time with them before they’re fully grown. And as a punishment, I have to manage this massive child-rearing project…” Yang Kai recalled their insistence that this would be his penance.

“En. But honestly, even we are taken aback that those two managed to stir up so much trouble before a month was up. Nevertheless, since this chaos stems from our children, it will be their Parents who resolve it, in our capacity as their Mothers,” Shan Qing Luo added.

“So, you all intend to keep High Heaven Palace and High Heaven Academy separate. But will this truly be feasible? All of you are Palace Mistresses. Surely…” Yang Kai attempted to continue, but Yu Ru Meng covered his mouth, stating, “Just leave it to us. We are far more adept at politics than you might realize.”

Observing how these two women stepped forward to shield Yang Ji and Yang Xu, Yang Kai could only concede for the moment. Truly, when it came to subtle politics, they surpassed him. Yang Kai had primarily relied on other advantages to gain an edge. However, these two women were exceptionally skilled at handling individuals on their own level, or even those of higher standing.

Furthermore, it had to be acknowledged that the management of High Heaven Palace was, in fact, handled by others rather than the Palace Master himself.

“Fine. I’ll step back from this matter. But if that’s the case, why didn’t you simply inform me of the plan from the start? You could have saved me considerable vexation,” Yang Kai inquired, though even he didn’t anticipate a straightforward answer at this juncture.

“To tease you,” Yu Ru Meng replied plainly.

“Are you serious?” Yang Kai frowned, yet Yu Ru Meng’s response prompted a chuckle. “After we delivered your punishment, what did you do, hmm? We Sisters still have our bodies aching.”

“Besides, what’s wrong with a Father experiencing headaches over his children? We are cleaning up the mess because you hold the esteemed position of Palace Master, and our punishments cannot negatively impact the Sect. The least you could do is share some of the burden,” Shan Qing Luo remarked, rolling her eyes.

“Yes, yes, I made you all suffer greatly that night,” Yang Kai chuckled.

“That night? You mean a week,” Shan Qing Luo’s eyes narrowed. However, since it wasn’t an entirely rare occurrence, she relented and continued, “Sister Xue Yue has departed for Red Clouds Cave Heaven. As for the other children, here is the list. For now, we Sisters will proceed to meet their Parents. In the interim, as the Principal, you’ll need to craft a speech for the students, explaining the rationale behind these events.”

“In essence, leave all matters external to the academy to us. We will handle them. Your sole responsibility is the academy itself,” Yu Ru Meng affirmed.
