"Yu Er..." As soon as Xiao Yu approached the large tent, a red figure darted out and started touching her all over.
"Xue Ni, you pervert, get away from me... Ah, don't touch there!" Xiao Yu pushed her away.
Then a group of chattering girls came out and surrounded Xiao Yu.
Xiao Ning's eyes widened at the sight.
"I didn't realize she was so popular at the academy..." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Meng frowned, her expression serious, and poked Xun Er: "We must keep a close eye on Young Master Xiao Yan then, and not let these loose women corrupt his mind."
Xun Er narrowed her eyes, staring at Xiao Meng: "I think the person who should be most guarded against is you."
Xiao Yan touched his nose, pretending he hadn't heard anything.
Xiao Yu began to introduce the people she had brought to her companions: "They are all my clan members. This is Xun Er, Xiao Meng... Hmm, don't get any ideas about them, they're already taken. This is Xiao Mei, and my own younger brother, Xiao Ning. As for the last one... that leering guy is Xiao Yan, whom I mentioned to you before."
"Leering? I don't think so. His eyes are clearly appreciating beauty," Xue Ni responded.
"Seriously, if you're ugly, you're a perverted scoundrel, but if you're handsome, you're appreciating beauty?" Xiao Yu rolled her eyes, utterly speechless at her companion.
Xiao Meng saw Xue Ni staring intently at Xiao Yan, so she moved two steps to block the space between them.
Then she realized that Xue Ni's gaze hadn't changed; she was just staring intently at Xiao Meng herself.
Xiao Meng: "?"
She communicated with the Worm of Spirit in her mind: "How about we Parasitize her?"
The Worm of Spirit responded: "Don't just pull anyone into the Amon family... No wonder the main body used to say that the mental corruption from the avatars was even more troublesome than the Celestial Worthy's brand."
Xiao Meng replied indifferently: "Anyway, that's something the main body needs to consider, it has nothing to do with us... And he hasn't been mentally connected with us for a long time, I don't even know what the other Amons are doing."
"I feel that the main body is trying to let each avatar walk different paths... He might be watching everything from behind, waiting to harvest the fruits in the end," the Worm of Spirit stated its guess.
"Probably not, right? Isn't that easy to mess up?" Xiao Meng pondered, a bolder idea forming in her mind.
Xue Ni withdrew her gaze from Xiao Meng and clapped her hands: "Alright, you're all here for the test, right? Follow me... Oh, and that guy Rob also came, and he's even advanced to Fighter Four-star."
Hearing her reminder, Xiao Yu frowned: "That annoying guy came too? I hope he doesn't cause any trouble."
No sooner had she spoken than a voice rang out.
"Xiao Yu, long time no see." A handsome young man in a grey and white robe walked over with a bright smile, greeting Xiao Yu.
Looking at his hypocritical smile, Xiao Yu subtly frowned and said coldly, "It hasn't been long."
As if he hadn't noticed Xiao Yu's indifference towards him, Rob looked at Xiao Yan and the others: "Are they your clan members? Have they met the requirements? You know the rules, right?"
"I know, I won't make it difficult for the instructors. If they don't meet the standards, I wouldn't have brought them," Xiao Yu's expression remained unchanged.
"Well, I happen to have a testing crystal here. If you don't mind, you can try it. The other crystals have already been placed in the passage on the square, so if you don't want to use mine, you'll probably have to wait a long time." Rob took out a crystal from his pocket.
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Alright then..."
She then turned her head to explain to Xiao Yan and the others: "This is a simple testing crystal; it will glow when your Dou Qi reaches eight segments."
Xiao Ning, full of confidence, was the first to step forward and test. Afterward, Xiao Mei, Xiao Meng, Xun Er, and Xiao Yan all stepped forward one by one, successfully making the crystal light up.
Rob put away the testing crystal: "Alright, now that the test is complete, please go and stand in the sun outside for half an hour."
He pointed to some men and women sitting outside and spoke to the Xiao Family members.
"Rob, what do you mean?" Xiao Yu said coldly.
"You're an old student; don't you understand this rule? There are too many troublesome students nowadays, they need to learn how to respect their seniors," Rob said somewhat flippantly.
"Don't use that on the people I brought!"
"They passed the test under my supervision, so I temporarily have jurisdiction over them... Considering they were brought by you, I won't fuss too much. How about this, let this junior be your representative and stand in the sun outside." Rob pointed at Xiao Yan.
Although Xiao Yu hadn't asked Xiao Yan to pretend to be her lover, and although Xiao Yan had always kept a low profile, following behind without standing out at all, Rob still precisely found trouble with him.
Before Xiao Yu could argue with him further, a slender, delicate hand pressed towards Rob.
His face changed slightly, and just as he was about to raise his Dou Qi to counterattack, he saw a pair of deep, dark eyes. From these eyes, he seemed to see the cosmos.
In a daze, Rob flew backward heavily, only realizing he had been defeated by a single palm when the pain of his back hitting the ground arrived...
He had been effortlessly defeated by a new student...
Rob felt his face burning and was about to get up and counterattack, but he was horrified to find that his Dou Qi seemed to be Seal by something, and he couldn't gather it at all.
Xiao Meng shook her head and said, "You also said that new students nowadays are troublesome, so how dare you jump out with that little strength? Isn't that asking for a beating?
"And you even came to trouble Young Master Xiao Yan... How dare you?"
When she spoke the last sentence, her face suddenly darkened, becoming extraordinarily ferocious, "Now, I give you two choices: one, go stand in the sun outside for half an hour yourself, or two, get beaten by me, and then go stand in the sun for half an hour."
The students following Rob looked at each other. One person seemed to want to make a move, but then saw Rob slink away into the sun.
He paused, then followed suit.
The rest of the new students standing in the sun outside watched the old students being driven out, dumbfounded... They hadn't failed to resist earlier, but they had been severely dealt with, which was why they had behaved. But they never expected that there really would be new students who, in turn, blasted out these old students who were assisting with admissions.
Rob noticed the new students' strange gazes and said fiercely, "What are you looking at? You all get an extra half hour!"
The new students, dissatisfied with their oppression, were encouraged by Xiao Meng's victory and rose in resistance, only to be ruthlessly suppressed by one of Rob's cronies.
Only then did the new students realize that standing in the sun was the normal situation; the problem wasn't Rob and the others, but those people inside who didn't play by the rules!
Xiao Yu and her companions were equally stunned.
Xue Ni, mouth agape, said, "Wow... Yu Yu, you actually have such a powerful sister in your family. Quickly, introduce her to me."
Xiao Meng, having done all this, simply clapped her hands, no longer looking at Rob and the others, and returned to Xiao Yan's side, looking as if she was asking for praise:
"Young Master Xiao Yan, I've dealt with them..."
Xiao Meng's actions naturally drew more attention to Xiao Yan, who had always been rather inconspicuous.
People from other cities began to speculate about Xiao Yan's identity in their minds.
"Xiao Yan, that name sounds somewhat familiar? It couldn't be that Xiao Yan from the Xiao Family, could it?"
"Didn't they say he was too useless and had his engagement broken off by the Yunlan Sect's Young Sect Master?"
"Wait, I think I heard another version. It's said that Xiao Yan didn't think much of Nalan Yanran; it wasn't a broken engagement, it was a divorce!"
Although the broken engagement version was widely spread, this was Wu Tan City, so Xiao Yan's act of "divorcing his wife" had also been heard of by some.
"What? That's impossible, isn't it? That's Nalan Yanran!"
"What's impossible? I heard that the Three-Year Agreement was even proposed by Nalan Yanran!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. You know, I often hang out with Klein and them; they told me... It's said that on that day, Nalan Yanran even furiously shouted, 'Thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi, don't bully a young girl for being poor'..."
"Huh? She said that? Doesn't quite fit, does it?"
"In short, Xiao Yan didn't think much of Nalan Yanran. After she proposed the Three-Year Agreement, she even said that if she lost, she would want to stay by Xiao Yan's side even as a slave or maid."
"That humble?"
"But Xiao Yan said she didn't even have the qualifications to be a slave or a maid! Do you see that dark-haired girl who defeated the senior? She's Xiao Yan's maid! Even if Nalan Yanran wanted to stay by Xiao Yan's side as a maid, she'd have to compete with her!"
"Is that true or false?"
Those who heard this version for the first time initially didn't believe it, but seeing Xiao Meng dutifully serving by Xiao Yan's side, they started to believe it a little.
If a maid possessed such talent, it wasn't impossible for her to immediately cause unpleasantness upon meeting the arrogant Nalan Yanran, and then disdain her.
Rob, defeated by Xiao Meng, knew best how terrifying that woman was... She made the first move, so there was a suspicion of a sneak attack, but even if they did it again, with both prepared, he estimated he would still be instantly defeated...
That effortless palm strike not only defeated him but also Seal his Dou Qi cultivation!
He could feel that this Seal shouldn't last long; there were already signs of loosening, and it would probably be unsealed in about an hour... But he had a vague intuition that the Seal wasn't meant to last long simply because the other party didn't want it to.
"Rob, what are you all doing standing in the blazing sun?" A gentle female voice came.
Rob's face stiffened, and he turned around, saying somewhat awkwardly, "It was too cold inside the tent, so we came out to sunbathe."
His answer drew a burst of uncontrollable laughter. Rob heard the laughter and felt even more embarrassed.
"Heh heh, could it be that you wanted to give the new students a hard time, but ended up getting dealt with instead?" The gentle female voice carried a hint of amusement.
