If He's This Cute, Of Course He's a Boy!

A year later.

Ye Tian stepped out of the bathroom after completing his daily training.

Just then, a crisp knock broke the quiet of the dormitory.

"Coming!" Ye Tian calmly got dressed.

When he opened the door, Li Xin stood prettily outside.

Her curvaceous figure was wrapped in a fitted white outfit. She seemed to have just finished bathing as well, her long pink hair hanging damply down her back.

"Sister Xin, what brings you here?"

"Of course I came specifically to see you!"

Li Xin put her hands on her hips and smiled brightly. "Today is Rest Day, so you probably don't need to train either. Want to go out with your sister for a stroll and get something good to eat?"

"Sure!" Ye Tian nodded without hesitation.

This clearly was not the first time she had invited him. Every monthly Rest Day, Li Xin would come ask him to go shopping with her.

Though, most importantly, they would go feast on delicious food!

"Then let's hurry and get going!"

Li Xin's face lit up. She tied her hair back into a ponytail with a blue ribbon, then led Ye Tian out of the dormitory.

"Little brother, how much spiritual power do you have now? You should be close to becoming a Third-Grade Quasi-Knight, right?"

Li Xin casually asked along the way.

Ye Tian rubbed his nose and answered vaguely, "I haven't gone to test it yet, but I should be about there."

Hearing that, Li Xin covered her little mouth and murmured, "My God! You're only ten, right? A ten-year-old Third-Grade Quasi-Knight—that's outrageous!"

At this rate, he would probably become a knight before he turned twelve.

Ye Tian merely smiled and said nothing further.

He had deliberately avoided getting tested. His situation was simply a little too exaggerated.

With a thought, a screen visible only to him appeared in Ye Tian's mind.

Host: Ye Tian

Age: Ten

Class: Knight

Innate Internal Spiritual Energy: ??? (Sacred Awakening conditions met)

Spiritual Power: External Spiritual Power 281 points, Internal Spiritual Energy unavailable

Skills: Tier 1: Pure White Blade (Perfect), Tier 1: Thrust (Perfect), Tier 1: Cross Slash (Perfect), Tier 3: Lightning Stab (Minor Accomplishment), Tier 6: Divine Guard Block (Minor Accomplishment)

If his External Spiritual Power were revealed, Li Xin would probably question her entire life.

Over the past year, Ye Tian's gains had been considerable.

The limit of a normal Second Order professional's External Spiritual Power was two hundred points. Beyond that, no amount of further improvement could affect class advancement. To break through to the third tier, one could only undergo Sacred Awakening.

Even without awakening Internal Spiritual Energy, Ye Tian could still contend with a Tier 3 Knight using External Spiritual Power alone.

Beyond that, his greatest gain had been the various skills.

The Quasi-Knight class instructor had only taught three Tier 1 skills. Lightning Stab and Divine Guard Block had both been fed back from Long Haochen.

Skill proficiency was roughly divided into five stages.

From lowest to highest, they were: Beginner, Proficient, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, and Perfect.

Knight skills could boost attack power. For instance, the Tier 1 skill Pure White Blade instantly concentrated all the spiritual power in one's body at a single point, producing one hundred and ten percent attack power.

But reality was not a game. Skill power could not be measured by numbers.

Skill proficiency determined the casting speed, consumption, and final power of a skill.

Ordinary professionals needed quite some time to train a skill to Minor Accomplishment, yet Ye Tian could achieve it easily through feedback.

He had not gone all out in a long time, but his combat strength was definitely no weaker than Li Xin's.

When Ye Tian remained silent, Li Xin immediately glared at him fiercely. "What a pity. If you were a little older, little brother, your sister would definitely claim you for herself first!"

Ye Tian wore a strange expression, then could not help teasing her with a laugh.

"That's not impossible. Sister Xin, you're only seven or eight years older than me. As long as your skin is a little thicker, maybe it could happen."

Li Xin's cheeks immediately reddened at those words.

"Pah! You little brat, now you're flirting with your sister? I ought to beat you!"

With that, she raised her hand and lightly swatted at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian pretended to be frightened and hurriedly ran off.

The two bickered and chased each other all the way until they soon arrived at the gates of Haoyue Branch Hall.

"No, my teacher said I have to personally deliver this letter to Hall Master Nalan!"

The conversation at the entrance immediately drew their attention.

Looking outside, they saw a petite figure being stopped at the gate by the young knights on guard.

Ye Tian's face immediately filled with surprise.

"Haochen!"

Hearing someone call his name, Long Haochen instinctively looked over.

"Brother Tian!" Long Haochen's face lit up with delight.

Ye Tian quickly walked over and smiled. "Why are you here?"

"My teacher sent me to find Hall Master Nalan. I have a letter to deliver to him personally, but these two big brothers said only people from the Temple can enter."

"I'll take him to see Uncle Nalan. With me accompanying him, you should be reassured now, right?"

Li Xin stepped forward at the right moment.

"Yes, my lady knight!"

The two young knights did not dare object in the slightest. After respectfully saluting, they let them through.

"Come on, Haochen."

Ye Tian waved to Long Haochen.

Long Haochen was immediately overjoyed. "Thank you, big sister. Thank you, big brothers."

The three of them turned and entered Haoyue Branch Hall.

In an instant, Long Haochen's attention was drawn to the ancient surroundings.

Li Xin stared at Long Haochen from the side, then suddenly nudged Ye Tian with her elbow. "Little brother, when did you meet such an adorable little girl? Don't tell me she's your childhood sweetheart?"

She sounded like she was teasing him, but there was an inexplicable hint of jealousy in her voice.

Ye Tian's expression turned odd, and he could not help laughing. "What are you thinking, Sister Xin? Haochen is a boy."

Li Xin froze.

"Seriously?"

He was this cute, and he was a boy?

How could a man possibly be this pretty?

"Of course it's true. He and I are both from Odin Town, and our families are very close."

Seeing the serious look on Ye Tian's face, Li Xin smiled awkwardly. "I got it wrong. Sorry, little brother."

"It's all right, big sister."

Long Haochen gently shook his head.

After all, Li Xin was not the first person to mistake him for a girl. He was already used to it.

"Then, little brother Haochen, what are you looking for Uncle Nalan about?" Li Xin asked again.

Long Haochen gently shook his head. "I don't know. Teacher only told me to deliver a letter. Hall Master Nalan will tell me what I need to do."

"Is that so? But it's still a bit early. Uncle Nalan probably hasn't arrived yet, so you may need to wait a little while."

Led by Li Xin, the three soon entered a spacious office on the second floor.

This was where Nalan Shu, the Hall Master of Haoyue Branch Hall, worked. Only Li Xin would dare walk straight in when the office was empty.

Just as she finished speaking, a series of heavy footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Xin'er, what are you doing in my office?"
