"Don't worry, Mother. Your daughter might not necessarily go." Bai Ruxue smiled, offering her mother some reassurance.
"Whether you go or not is up to you. Mother will support you either way."
Madam Yan pinched her daughter's cheek, said no more, and walked out of the reception hall.
After Madam Yan left, Bai Ruxue sat in the host's seat of the reception hall and casually set up an Array to isolate them from the outside world.
Inside the reception hall, Jin Che's expression became even more respectful.
He walked to the center of the reception hall, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply. "Jin Che of the Confucian Academy pays his respects to the Lord of the Four Seas!"
From the host's seat, Bai Ruxue took a light sip of tea and glanced at Jin Che, her voice naturally imposing.
"Let's skip the pleasantries. Why has the Confucian Academy sought me out? What is it? Don't tell me you actually want to invite me to study there?"
