Startling News of Wang Qiu'er

"What are you saying?" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Liu Erlong Lu Yuan him a displeased look. "You're already calling me Erlong, why are you being so formal?"

"As for helping to manage Heavenly Star Academy, that is my duty as the vice dean, and there is no need for your thanks."

"Yes, Sister Erlong is right." Seeing Liu Erlong's dissatisfied look, Lu Yuan touched his nose and said with a smile.

"How long do you plan to stay this time? You're not going to just stay a few days and then leave again, are you? You bought the academy, but apart from managing it for a while at the beginning, you've been a hands-off manager for the past year. Is this how a dean should act?" Liu Erlong glanced at Lu Yuan and said.

"Hehe!" Lu Yuan chuckled upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

However, he was thick-skinned and quickly recovered. "I will definitely be staying for a long time this time. Besides, I am no longer the dean. From now on, the affairs of the academy will be handled by my father. I think the academy has developed quite fast in the past year. This is all thanks to my father and Erlong."

"I feel very reassured with your School of Management around," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"So you're going to continue being a hands-off manager, huh?" Liu Erlong rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan and said irritably.

"Hehe!" Lu Yuan chuckled, without answering.

Looking at Lu Yuan, who was pretending to be dead, Liu Erlong couldn't help but shake her head helplessly. It was really difficult to deal with such an irresponsible person. She could only do more work herself.

"Tell me, what brings you to the academy this time?" Liu Erlong asked softly.

"Nothing much, I haven't been back for over a year and I missed you terribly, so I came to the academy to take a look around and also to see you, Sister Erlong," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Come on, you think you'd come all this way just to see me?"

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes and said, "You're the kind of person who only shows up when you need something. If you come, there's definitely something wrong, and if there's nothing wrong, you're nowhere to be found. I've known you for over a year, so I've gotten to know your personality a bit."

"Just say what's on your mind, why keep things to yourself?"

"Hehe, Erlong's eye for talent is still so discerning. I really do have something to take care of this time," Lu Yuan chuckled.

"I knew it. Just say what's on your mind," Liu Erlong said.

"Actually, this isn't my personal matter, but rather related to the academy. The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin, and our academy should also form a team. That's why I'm here today," Lu Yuan said.

"Forming a team? That's an important matter. Even if you hadn't come back, I would have arranged this in a few days. But since you're back, this matter will be handed over to you. And given your personality, you should already be prepared, right?" Liu Erlong said.

"Yes, the team members I'm planning now include myself, Zhu Qing, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Fu Qinsheng, and Ling Wei. That's six in total. We're still missing one. Of course, we also need to prepare one or two substitutes. However, I don't know much about the strength of the inner court students. My dad said that Erlong is in charge of the inner court and is very familiar with this aspect, so I came to find Erlong to learn more about the situation."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Is that so!" Liu Erlong tapped his chin with his slender fingers and said, "I must say, you came at the perfect time. Just two days ago, a thirteen-year-old girl entered the inner courtyard. Although she is only thirteen, her strength has already reached level forty-five. She can be called a genius among geniuses. I think it would be great to have her as the last member of your team."

"Oh?" Upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised. A level 45 Soul Ancestor at the age of thirteen, what kind of talent is that?

This seems a bit scary.

This is already comparable to Zhu Zhuqing, who has consumed many rare and precious medicinal herbs. Considering her age and strength, she is absolutely a monstrous talent.

"What's her name? Is she some kind of genius from a sect?" Lu Yuan asked, his face filled with curiosity.

"Her name Wang Qiu'er."

Liu Erlong smiled faintly, "What's even more coincidental is that her Martial Soul is exactly the same as yours, both being Golden Dragon. During the inner court test, her strength was incredibly formidable; even I was shocked at the time."

"What did you say her name was?" Upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Lu Yuan suddenly spoke up, his face filled with intense shock.

"Wang Qiu'er, what's wrong? You know her?" Liu Erlong asked with a smile.

"If her name is really Wang Qiu'er and her Martial Soul is still the Golden Dragon, then I recognize her." Lu Yuan had a wry smile on his face. He really didn't expect that this girl would be so bold as to run out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"I don't know if Qiu'er ran away on her own or if Na'er allowed it. If Na'er allowed it, that's fine, because she must have left some kind of protective measures. But if she ran away secretly, that's troublesome. No, I have to find this girl quickly."

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

"What's your relationship with her? You both have the same Martial Soul, so you must have a close relationship, right?" Liu Erlong asked.

"She is my sister," Lu Yuan said.

"Sister?" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and shocked.

"You have a younger sister?" Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of surprise in her large, bright black eyes. She had been with Lu Yuan for so long and had no idea that he had a younger sister.

"Yes, Qiu'er is indeed my sister. She has similar blood to me, but she has always been with Na'er, so I have never mentioned it to you."

"I just didn't expect this girl to run out on her own," Lu Yuan said.

"Is she with Gu Yuena?" Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself, then looked at Lu Yuan, "Wang Qiu'er must be here to see you, right?"

"Yes, I'm her only family member here." Lu Yuan nodded and said.

"Erlong Sister, where is Qiu'er now?" Lu Yuan asked.

"They should be in class right now. The students in the inner academy should be taking theory classes during this period. Shall I take you to see them?" Liu Erlong said.

"Okay, let's go take a look. And while we're at it, let's take this opportunity to finalize the team roster in front of all the inner court students," Lu Yuan said.

"Alright, you can decide these things." Liu Erlong said, standing up from his office chair. "Let's go, I'll take you to see it."

"Mm!" Lu Yuan nodded gently.

Following Liu Erlong, the group headed towards the teaching building.

The teaching building was not far from the office building. Led by Liu Erlong, Lu Yuan and the others quickly arrived at the teaching building.
