Always Feel Like Junior Brother Is Competing with Me for Favor! (Please Vote)

Awkward. Silent. So quiet one could hear a pin drop...

That was the atmosphere where the Elite Class students stood, while Xie Yue, the person involved, wore an expression that was utterly marvelous—like he was constipated.

"Ding! You successfully showed off in front of Xie Yue. Points +3."

"Ding! You successfully showed off in front of Yan. Points +3."

"Ding! You successfully showed off in front of..."

Li Chang'an: I didn't do anything. I really wasn't trying to show off.

Although Li Chang'an was somewhat speechless about the situation, he couldn't exactly make his future brother-in-law lose face. His reaction was therefore incredibly swift!

The Eastern Emperor Bell martial soul was immediately withdrawn into his body. Li Chang'an then took several steps back, staring at Xie Yue with shock in his eyes. "Senior Brother's fifty percent strength is truly formidable. Even my martial soul withdrew itself unconsciously."

Li Chang'an's words left Xie Yue choking. For a moment, he did not know how to respond. After all, it was his first time meeting someone so shameless.

Everyone present was no fool. His Soul Power fluctuations had been so obvious just now—who wouldn't know that he had already used his full strength? He had lost all face!

The afternoon class ended amid that awkward atmosphere. However, whether it was Xie Yue or the others, they had all formed an initial impression of Li Chang'an's strength.

Twin Martial Souls—truly terrifying!

Of course, Xie Yue did not think he was incapable of defeating Li Chang'an. After all, he had yet to use either of his soul skills. This had merely been a clash of martial souls.

The afternoon lesson was not particularly long. Once it ended, Hu Liena called Li Chang'an over, and the two headed together toward Papal Hall.

Spirit Hall Academy was not particularly far from Papal Hall. Since both of them were soul masters, walking there was not much effort. Along the way, however, Hu Liena showered her junior brother with praise.

"Junior Brother, you nearly made it impossible for my brother to save face this time. What do you think we should do about that?" Hu Liena looked at Li Chang'an teasingly, her eyes seemingly capable of seducing people.

How could Li Chang'an be stumped by something like this? He still wore an innocent expression as he said, "Senior Sister, you've wronged me. Before this, I didn't know my martial soul was so powerful either."

"Besides, the stronger your junior brother's martial soul is, the better I'll be able to protect Senior Sister in the future, right?"

Hu Liena's pretty face grew slightly warm at those words. She directly tapped Li Chang'an on the forehead with her finger and tried her best to speak in an adult tone.

"You little brat who acts so grown-up. When would Senior Sister ever need your protection? Senior Sister will protect you from now on. All right, hurry up. Teacher will be angry if we're late."

At such close range, Li Chang'an could sense the girlish fragrance coming from Hu Liena. When she tapped his forehead, he even took the opportunity to sneak a few glances at her chest, becoming even more determined to win over this little fox.

She's got a great figure. It'd be a huge loss not to win her over!

The two of them both had tokens given by Bibi Dong, so entering Papal Hall was no difficult matter. Once inside, Hu Liena directly led Li Chang'an toward the area where Bibi Dong lived in her daily life, introducing the place as they walked.

"Teacher only appears in the main hall when there is official business to handle. For ordinary lessons, we usually just go to where Teacher lives."

Li Chang'an listened quietly while silently observing his surroundings. After passing through the main hall, they first crossed a large courtyard before arriving at a place resembling a living room.

The living room was not decorated in any especially grand manner. Instead, it had a somewhat cozy feeling, and it was not particularly tidy either. It carried a strong sense of home.

The moment Hu Liena and Li Chang'an stepped through the living room doors, Bibi Dong descended from the second floor. Clearly, every movement here was within her grasp.

Today, Bibi Dong was not wearing her magnificent Pope's robes. Instead, she wore a light purple dress, her loose hair casually draped down her back. Yet her exquisite face and proud figure still made Li Chang'an's breathing quicken slightly.

Teacher seems even more beautiful like this.

"Chang'an, Liena, sit first." Bibi Dong casually sat in a chair and pointed to several seats in front of her.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Li Chang'an and Hu Liena thanked her in unison before properly taking their seats. It could not be helped—Teacher's dignity was imposing, and they instinctively became more respectful around her. Even Hu Liena was no exception.

"In truth, the academy teachers will teach you many courses and subjects, so I will not repeat too much of that here. What I will mainly teach you is how to use your martial souls and my cultivation insights, so that the road ahead of you may be broader."

Bibi Dong was speaking to Li Chang'an. As a Titled Douluo and a genius with Twin Martial Souls, Bibi Dong's cultivation insights and methods were unique. These were things Li Chang'an could not learn at the academy.

Li Chang'an nodded with a serious little face, sitting upright and attentive.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong could not help but chuckle. "Chang'an, you don't need to be so rigid. You are both my direct disciples. You should gradually get used to this relationship."

Bibi Dong's expression was exceptionally gentle as she spoke. At this moment, she was not the Pope, but merely an ordinary teacher.

Hearing that, Li Chang'an first looked at Hu Liena, then at Bibi Dong, before relaxing his posture slightly and saying, "Teacher, you're so kind. Oh, right, Teacher, how were the cookies today?"

Although Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised by how quickly Li Chang'an had become familiar with her, she then remembered the misshapen cookies from that morning and could not help revealing a gratified smile.

"You were thoughtful. They were delicious. Teacher liked them very much."

Li Chang'an was instantly overjoyed. The first step went right!

"As long as Teacher likes them. This disciple has also developed a new pastry called bread. I'll bring some for you to try tomorrow."

Bibi Dong's tone became slightly stern at those words. "I appreciate the thought, but your most urgent priority now is to cultivate as quickly as possible. Do not waste your talent."

Although Bibi Dong's words carried a hint of reprimand, there was not the slightest anger on her face. She was still as gentle as ever. Li Chang'an meant well, after all; she was merely urging him on from a teacher's perspective.

"Yes, Teacher. Don't worry, I'll study hard and improve every day!" Li Chang'an patted his chest as he promised, while inwardly considering what kind of cake he should make tomorrow morning.

After all, he was a good student who loved his teacher.

"Oh, right, Teacher. My martial soul needs a soul ring now. Are you free in the next few days? I'd like to ask you to take me hunting Soul Beasts." Li Chang'an took the opportunity to ask.

Mm, I really only want the soul ring. It's definitely not because I want to be alone with Teacher.

Bibi Dong thought for a moment before directly nodding. "All right. The sooner, the better. Tomorrow, wait for me directly at the entrance to Papal Hall. I'll take you to hunt Soul Beasts."

Seeing Teacher chat so much with Li Chang'an and even agree to take him hunting Soul Beasts, Hu Liena—who had been unable to get a word in—immediately felt a little sour inside. Why do I always feel like Junior Brother is competing with me for Teacher's favor?
