Return to Little Leaf Village

Yu Xiaogang secretly gritted his teeth, but he still hoisted Tang San onto his back and headed toward Notting Academy.

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the purple-haired beauty who had suddenly appeared beside her.

"Big sister, who are you? What do you want with me?" Xiao Wu watched the woman before her warily.

"Hehe, Soft Bone Rabbit girl, stop pretending. I won't hurt you, but I need your help with something."

After saying that, Zi Ji paid no attention to whether Xiao Wu agreed and directly carried her toward Little Leaf Village.

Feeling Xiao Wu struggle incessantly in her grasp, Zi Ji's face darkened.

Before long, Xiao Wu was knocked unconscious. Only after seeing that the Xiao Wu in her hand was no longer squirming did Zi Ji nod in satisfaction.

"Su Yu, is this your village? It really is quite beautiful." Bi Ji looked at the village before her and smiled.

"Hehe, Bi Ji, stop joking around." Su Yu smiled, then directly carried the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and led Bi Ji toward his home.

"I'm not joking. Although this place can't compare to the Lake of Life, it's still not bad. Oh, you probably don't know about the Lake of Life yet. But I won't explain it to you. Once you come with me, you'll get to see it."

Bi Ji smiled. When she mentioned the Lake of Life, a rare trace of pride appeared on her usually gentle, lovely face.

Even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in Su Yu's arms revealed a hint of pride in her large eyes upon hearing Bi Ji mention the Lake of Life.

The Lake of Life could be called the sacred land of the Star Dou Great Forest, the sacred land of the soul beasts.

"Oh, then I'm quite looking forward to it." Su Yu smiled. Before long, the group arrived not far from his home.

As soon as Su Yu got close to home, he saw the old man lying in a reclining chair outside his door, grinning as he fanned himself.

"Grandpa!" Su Yu shouted when he saw the old man, then ran straight toward him.

"You brat, why are you back? Did you cause trouble at the academy? Didn't I tell you to cultivate properly and stop stirring up trouble?" Still not satisfied, Su Yi smacked Su Yu on the head.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was unhappy to see this. In her heart, Su Yu had long since become her little brother. Now that her little brother had been hit, she was unhappy.

But seeing Su Yu still grinning after being hit, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said nothing.

"Old man, what mistake could I have made? I came back this time just to visit you. Let me tell you, a Titled Douluo accepted me as her disciple."

Su Yu looked at Su Yi with a grin while pointing at Bi Ji behind him.

"A Titled Douluo? Su Yu, you haven't been tricked, have you? Do you know what a Titled Douluo represents? They're the truly strongest combatants on the continent. Every Titled Douluo is one of the continent's top experts."

Su Yi looked at Bi Ji, who appeared to be only around twenty, his eyes filled with disbelief.

After living so many years, Su Yi had truly never heard of a Titled Douluo in her twenties.

"Miss, could you let me see your Soul Rings? It's not that I don't believe you, but—"

Before Su Yi could finish, Bi Ji interrupted him.

"Hehe, old man, don't worry. I don't mind. I know you're only looking out for Su Yu, so don't overthink it." Bi Ji smiled. Then, two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red Soul Rings—nine in total—quickly appeared around her.

Su Yi's expression instantly changed when he saw Bi Ji's Soul Rings.

The instant he saw them, Su Yi nearly dropped to his knees, but Bi Ji swiftly caught and supported him.

"Old man, there's no need for this. Su Yu is my disciple, and you're Su Yu's grandfather. Technically, your seniority is even higher than mine. If you do this, you'll shorten my lifespan." Bi Ji's expression was gentle. At the same time, Su Yu saw waves of life energy appear in Bi Ji's hand and enter Su Yi's body under her control.

"My lady, you accepting Yu'er as your disciple already makes this old man feel as though smoke is rising from my ancestors' graves. How could I dare discuss seniority with you? Please don't embarrass this old man." Su Yi gave a bitter laugh and helplessly shook his head at Bi Ji.

"Old man, there's no need to be so polite. I should be thanking you for giving me such an outstanding disciple." Bi Ji said helplessly as she watched Su Yi repeatedly try to kowtow to her.

"Hehe, old man, Teacher is right. We're all family, so stop being so polite." Su Yu walked over to Bi Ji and Su Yi, speaking with a grin.

"Hmph, you brat." Su Yi shot Su Yu a look of disappointment, but under Bi Ji's insistence, he did not kowtow after all.

"Grandpa, aren't you going to let us into the house?" Su Yu asked his grandfather with a smile.

"Oh, right, right. Look at my memory—I forgot. Come, come, hurry inside with me."

After saying that, Su Yi led Bi Ji into the house. As Bi Ji entered and saw the somewhat shabby interior, she could not help but frown.

Seeing Bi Ji's furrowed brow, Su Yi smiled and spoke.

"Hehe, please don't mind it. The family is poor."

"Old man, you misunderstand. This is quite good. I just feel that being able to raise such an outstanding genius as Su Yu in this environment truly wasn't easy."

Bi Ji's words seemed to open Su Yi's floodgates, and he immediately began chattering away.

Seeing Bi Ji talking with his grandfather, Su Yu said nothing. He simply found the tea his grandfather had treasured and poured each of them a cup.

Afterward, Su Yu saw the longing in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes.

"Little one, do you want some too?" Su Yu smiled, then took another cup and poured one for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stuck out her tongue and gave it a gentle lick before immediately spitting it out.

"Ptooey, ptooey! It's so bitter! Bitter enough to kill me!"

Seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's reaction, Su Yu could not help laughing.

"Doesn't taste good? I don't think it tastes good either. You little one and I have similar tastes after all. Just as expected of the Emperor Auspicious Beast!" Su Yu said with a grin as he held up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Just as Su Yu was playing with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a purple figure instantly appeared in his family's courtyard.

"Old man, my companion has arrived," Bi Ji said to Su Yi.

As soon as Bi Ji finished speaking, Zi Ji pushed open the door and walked in.

"Bi Ji, is the matter taken care of?" Zi Ji said as she raised the unconscious Xiao Wu in her hand.

"Old man, we plan to take Xiao Yu out to cultivate. What do you think?" After seeing Zi Ji sit down, Bi Ji smiled and looked at Su Yi expectantly.

"Go out to cultivate? Good! If you're willing to take Xiao Yu out to train, that would be wonderful." Su Yi became excited the moment he heard Bi Ji's words.
