Jia Nan Academy Recruitment

"Just this?"

"How could that be? I came to see whether your legs were really as tender and smooth as little sister Xun'er said."

"What do you mean by that? I'm not wearing a skirt. Are you trying to take off my clothes?"

Xiao Yu smiled, her hand mischievously resting on Bai Xiaoran's leg. "Why would I take off all your clothes? At most, I'd just take off the ones on your lower half."

"You shameless woman!"

"Shameless, then shameless it is. At worst, Sister will let you touch her too."

Xiao Yu took off Bai Xiaoran's shoes and held his crystal-clear Jade Feet in her hands. Rolling up his pants, she revealed fair, smooth legs without a single hair.

After feeling them over, she found them smooth, supple, and soft—indeed better than her own thighs.

"Have you touched enough?" Bai Xiaoran shouted unhappily.

Every day was like this. She really was a female hooligan.

"Hehe, Sister was only having a look. Don't get so worked up."

After seeing for herself, Xiao Yu played with his Jade Feet for a while before helping Bai Xiaoran put his shoes back on, also to prevent Xiao Xun'er from suddenly returning.

"Little Brother Xiaoran, Sister won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"

Xiao Yu hurriedly climbed out through the window.

"She acts like this even in the Xiao Family. I'll have to be careful when I go out too."

Half a year later, Jia Nan Academy arrived in Wutan City as scheduled to recruit students.

Outside the Xiao Family, Bai Xiaoran and Xiao Xun'er had arrived at Jia Nan Academy's recruitment site.

A graceful woman stood ahead, with a man standing beside her as well.

"Mentor Ruolin, you've finally arrived."

Ruolin smiled at her. "Where is the genius you mentioned? Why don't I see him?"

"He's right in front of you!"

"Isn't the one in front of me a girl?"

Xiao Yu smiled. "He's a boy. He just looks like a girl."

Ruolin looked stunned as she gazed at Bai Xiaoran before her.

His black hair, smooth as silk, fluttered softly and brushed over his nearly translucent fair skin, making his already peerlessly delicate face seem even more exquisite. His brows resembled distant mountain ridges, slender and slightly raised, carrying a touch of alluring charm.

His eyes were like bottomless secluded pools. Within those pitch-black pupils glimmered points of starlight, and whenever his gaze shifted, ripples of light flowed within them, captivating the soul.

Hm?

To be honest, even as a woman, she felt a little envious.

"Are you Bai Xiaoran, the one Xiao Yu mentioned?"

"Yes, I am Bai Xiaoran."

Ruolin said, "How extraordinary. What is your current cultivation?"

"Three-star Dou Shi!"

"What? A Three-star Dou Shi?" Ruolin could hardly believe it. The information she had received previously said that he had not even broken through to Dou Zhe. How long had it been, yet he had already reached Three-star Dou Shi?

Even Xiao Yu had not expected this, though becoming stronger was naturally a good thing.

"Not bad. You're a fine prospect. There's no need for you to take the entrance test; it would be pointless for you anyway." Ruolin smiled faintly.

"What is Miss Xun'er's cultivation?"

"Eight-star Dou Zhe!"

Ruolin nodded with a smile. "Very strong as well."

Ruolin began testing those who wished to enroll.

Rob, who had come along with them, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Let's get acquainted. My name is Rob."

"Hello, Senior Brother Rob." Bai Xiaoran responded with a smile.

Rob's heart abruptly skipped a beat. He could not handle it and immediately retreated to his original spot.

After some time, just as the tests were about to end, Xiao Yan hurried over.

"Mentor, there's me too!"

Xiao Yan rushed over in a panic.

"Mentor, he is the Xiao Family's young master, Xiao Yan," Xiao Yu explained.

Ruolin nodded. "In that case, come over."

As expected, Xiao Yan passed the test.

Before Ruolin could continue speaking, Bai Xiaoran stepped forward first. "Mentor, I may enter the academy a little later. I feel that my opportunity lies within the Jiamar Empire, and I want to go take a look."

"An opportunity? Can you manage on your own?" Ruolin had already regarded Bai Xiaoran as a girl.

"I can."

"How long of a leave do you need?"

"More than a year, perhaps. I should gain some experience after all."

Ruolin had no objections. It was good that he had his own ideas. In any case, he was already her junior brother.

Xiao Yan's heart leaped. Brother Xiaoran was taking leave too. As expected, Brother Xiaoran and I understood each other perfectly.

"Mentor, I want to take leave too."

Ruolin narrowed her eyes. "You too? Then you'll have to last against me for a while before I let you enter the academy later."

"Why does Brother Xiaoran not have to?"

Ruolin lectured him, "Junior Brother Bai is a Dou Shi. If you were a Dou Shi too, you wouldn't have to either."

Xiao Yan had no grounds to argue further and could only begin trying to hold out against Ruolin.

"Brother Xiaoran, why are you doing this?" Xiao Xun'er did not understand. Had they not agreed to enter the academy together?

Bai Xiaoran explained, "I have a feeling that my opportunity is nearby. Don't worry, I'll return to Jia Nan Academy as soon as possible."

No matter how reluctant Xiao Xun'er was, she could only agree to Bai Xiaoran's request.

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth even harder.

Soon afterward, Xiao Yan also passed Ruolin's test.

"Everything is settled. Everyone, follow me into Jia Nan Academy tomorrow."

Bai Xiaoran and Xiao Xun'er went elsewhere instead of returning to the Xiao Family.

"Brother Xiaoran, you're already a Three-star Dou Shi. Since you're leaving for so long, if you don't break through to Dou Shi by then, just see how I punish you."

Xiao Xun'er puffed out her cheeks. Leaving was one thing, but he could not leave for nothing. At the very least, he had to bring back good news.

"That's all, right?"

"That's all. Other than that, be careful of the women and men outside. They're all eyeing Brother Xiaoran."

It was quite a headache. She was deeply worried about Bai Xiaoran being away from her side. After all, outside was unlike the Xiao Family, where she could protect him in peace.

The two strolled around Wutan City for a while longer. Xiao Xun'er had something to do and returned to the Xiao Family first.

After walking some distance and reaching the entrance of an alley, she said, "Ling Ying, you don't need to follow me to Jia Nan Academy. Go protect Brother Xiaoran."

"Miss, are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Just act at critical moments. Don't let Brother Xiaoran discover your presence."

Ling Ying nodded in acceptance. Miss was worried about Young Master Bai after all.

At this moment, Xun'er was no longer by Bai Xiaoran's side, but Ya Fei had appeared to ambush him instead.

"Little Brother Xiaoran, you're leaving without even telling Sister."

"Wasn't I about to tell you? You came here yourself!"

Ya Fei curled her lips flirtatiously. "I don't believe your nonsense. Still, if you're leaving Wutan City, be careful on the road. The people outside aren't as nice as Sister."

Nice?

"You take advantage of me every day. You're not a good person either!"

Ya Fei took out a Storage Ring and placed it in Bai Xiaoran's hand.

"You can't go out without gold coins. This is enough to cover your expenses for more than a year. If it isn't enough, come find me at the Mite'er Family anytime!"

"Hm? You're going back?"

Ya Fei nodded. "Yes, it's time for me to return. Now that you're leaving, what am I staying in Wutan City for? It would be better to wait for you to come to the Jiamar Empire and play with me."

Ya Fei planted a kiss on Bai Xiaoran's cheek.

"You—you, what are you doing?!"

"A farewell kiss. We won't see each other for so long. What's wrong with asking for one?"

Bai Xiaoran's face flushed red. "You really are trying to take advantage of me!"

He used Subtle Shadow Steps and swiftly fled.

"You're still young. Once you grow up, you'll know how good Sister is."
