First Meeting with Xu Xiaoyan (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Ticket! Seeking Recommendation Ticket!)

Xu Mingcheng, the current head of the Xu Family in Eastsea City and Eastsea City Finance Chief, was one of the most powerful figures in Eastsea City. The little girl whose hand he held was his most beloved daughter, the little princess of the Xu Family, Xu Xiaoyan.

Jing Shaoyu was somewhat surprised as he looked at the exquisitely adorable Xu Xiaoyan. He had not expected to encounter a member of the Main Character Group so easily. Xu Xiaoyan also curiously examined Jing Shaoyu. A trace of shyness flashed across her little face as she quietly shuffled behind her father and murmured, "How can there be such a handsome boy?"

"Mingcheng, Xiaoyan, you're here. Come over, I've already prepared Xiaoyan's Soul Spirit!" Ji Changming hurried forward with a bright smile, then said to Ouyang Jian, "Old Ouyang, staying to watch?"

"Fine. Since we've run into them, we might as well stay," Ouyang Jian said calmly.

"Uncle Jian, who are these two children?" Xu Mingcheng asked as he led Xu Xiaoyan into the room, his curious gaze falling on Jing Shaoyu and Na'er beside Ouyang Jian.

"Oh, this unbelievably handsome boy is called Jing Shaoyu. He's a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, and I brought him here to choose a Soul Spirit." Ouyang Jian spoke evenly. "The little girl holding his hand is his younger sister, Na'er."

"Innate Full Soul Power!" Xu Mingcheng's expression changed. The way he looked at Jing Shaoyu was no longer casual as he asked in confusion, "Jing? Is there a Soul Master family with that surname in Eastsea City?"

"Don't think too much about it. This kid's an orphan, and he took the Orphanage Director's surname," Ouyang Jian said. His gaze inadvertently fell upon Xu Xiaoyan, whom Xu Mingcheng was holding by the hand. For some reason, he suddenly felt that Ji Changming's suggestion might be feasible.

Why had Ouyang Jian suddenly entertained such a thought?

The reason was simple: Xu Xiaoyan had actually taken the initiative to speak to Jing Shaoyu. That was truly rare. The little girl from the Xu Family was famously shy and withdrawn, with almost no friends her age. Yet she had actually approached Jing Shaoyu on her own. It seemed that being good-looking really did make girls like you.

"Hey! You have Innate Full Soul Power too?" Xu Xiaoyan poked Jing Shaoyu's arm with a finger. Her little face was flushed red, while her eyes brimmed with curiosity.

"Yes." Jing Shaoyu nodded. "Don't you have it too?"

"Hehe, I'm the first person in our family in a hundred years to have Innate Full Soul Power!" Xu Xiaoyan proudly lifted her little head and said with a giggle, "Even my brother isn't as good as me!"

"Then you're amazing!" Jing Shaoyu smiled, fully grasping the little girl's mindset.

"Hehe, right? I think so too!" Xu Xiaoyan said happily. "My name is Xu Xiaoyan. You can call me Xiaoyan!"

"My name is Jing Shaoyu." Jing Shaoyu introduced himself with a smile, then suddenly felt a pain in his waist. Turning his head, he saw Na'er glaring sulkily, her little hand on his waist. He immediately understood. Na'er was unhappy. Helplessly, he could only continue, "This is my little sister, Na'er."

"Hello!" Upon hearing Jing Shaoyu's introduction, Xu Xiaoyan greeted Na'er in a friendly manner.

"Hmph!" Na'er gave a somewhat haughty snort, turning her head away as if she had no intention of paying Xu Xiaoyan any attention.

This made Xu Xiaoyan extremely awkward. Her little face instantly turned red, and Jing Shaoyu was rather speechless as well. He called out in a somewhat low voice, "Na'er, don't be so rude!"

"Hello, I'm Na'er." Only after hearing the displeasure in Jing Shaoyu's voice did Na'er reluctantly turn back and speak to Xu Xiaoyan.

"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoyan could only smile politely at that moment, though a hint of dimness and sadness flashed through her eyes.

She had finally gathered the courage to take the initiative and speak to someone, only to be rebuffed by Na'er. She probably would be even less willing to speak to others in the future. What a sin! Jing Shaoyu sighed inwardly, then made up his mind. Na'er was his younger sister after all, so he would take responsibility himself and use his love to mend the wound in Xu Xiaoyan's heart. Yes, that was right. He would become good friends with Xu Xiaoyan only to make up for it, definitely not for any other reason! Xu Xiaoyan was called to Ji Changming's side, and then began forming a Soul Spirit contract.

Ouyang Jian and Xu Mingcheng stood together, conversing in low voices, while Jing Shaoyu stood off to the side holding Na'er's hand. They spoke quietly as well.

"Brother, I don't like that Xu Xiaoyan!" Na'er said with a pout.

"Why?" Jing Shaoyu asked curiously. There had to be a reason for disliking someone, right?

"I don't know. I just don't like her!" Na'er shook her head and said somewhat willfully, "I don't want you to play with her!"

"..." Hearing Na'er's answer, Jing Shaoyu could not help rubbing his forehead with a bitter smile. This was a girl's possessiveness at work. She was only a little girl now—when she grew up, wouldn't she be soaking in a vat of vinegar? He could only coax her, "Don't worry, Na'er. No matter what, you'll always be Brother's favorite little sister! That will never change!"

"Pinky swear!" Na'er immediately broke into a happy smile upon hearing Jing Shaoyu's promise.

"Alright, pinky swear!" Jing Shaoyu smiled and held out his little finger, hooking it with Na'er's.

Before long, Xu Xiaoyan completed her Soul Spirit fusion. The Soul Spirit Ji Changming had prepared for her was a six-hundred-year Mystic Ice Cat. Judging from Xu Mingcheng's reaction, this was likely one of the Soul Spirits most commonly used by the Xu Family. Xu Xiaoyan's fusion went smoothly, and her soul power rose to Level 12 afterward.

However, Xu Xiaoyan did not seem very happy. Considering that the Original Work mentioned that Xu Xiaoyan had not particularly liked cultivating as a child, it was not hard to understand why her reaction was so muted.

Over the next several dozen minutes, Ji Changming took them on a tour of the Spirit Pagoda. In truth, he was simply giving Jing Shaoyu a chance to experience the benefits of the Spirit Pagoda. After all, Ouyang Jian and Xu Mingcheng both held high positions and could not possibly be unfamiliar with the Spirit Pagoda. As the Miss of the Xu Family, Xu Xiaoyan had only just awakened her martial soul, but judging by her lack of interest, she had probably visited many times before. Na'er, on the other hand, watched with great fascination.

"Little Yu Brother, goodbye!" Outside the Spirit Pagoda, Xu Xiaoyan sat in the back seat of her family's car. She rolled down the window and waved farewell to Jing Shaoyu. Yes, in less than half a day, Jing Shaoyu had successfully gotten Xu Xiaoyan to call him Brother. It had to be said that little girls were easy to fool... easy to get along with.

"Goodbye!" Jing Shaoyu replied with a smile and a wave. Goodbye. If nothing unexpected happened, the next time they met should be at Eastsea Academy three years later. By then, he wondered whether the little girl would still call him Brother.

"Haha, we should head back too!" Ouyang Jian seemed quite pleased as he said with a laugh.

At the Administrative Headquarters, Jing Ziyuan and Zhao Wuxu had been waiting in the City Lord Office for quite some time. Upon seeing Ouyang Jian, Jing Shaoyu, and Na'er return, they both immediately stood and greeted Ouyang Jian.

"Mom, I'm a Soul Master now!" Jing Shaoyu ran to Jing Ziyuan hand in hand with Na'er, his face full of smiles.

"That's wonderful!" Jing Ziyuan said with great excitement and joy. "Thank you so much, City Lord!"

"No need to thank me." Ouyang Jian waved his hand. "I was merely doing my duty. Have your transfer procedures been completed?"

"They have!" Jing Ziyuan answered respectfully and happily. "I also have to thank Administrator Zhao for his help!"

"It was only right!" Zhao Wuxu said, suppressing his delight.

"Very good. Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer," Ouyang Jian said. "Little Jing, bring A Yu to East Sea City Xuan Kong Academy to register tomorrow. Although A Yu has Innate Full Soul Power, he still needs to complete Primary Academy normally."

"I understand. Thank you, City Lord!" Jing Ziyuan said excitedly.

"Alright, go on." Ouyang Jian waved his hand.

"Goodbye, City Lord Grandpa!" Jing Shaoyu obediently bid Ouyang Jian farewell.

"Goodbye!" Ouyang Jian gave Jing Shaoyu a kindly smile. "Remember to come play with Grandpa often!"

"I will!" Jing Shaoyu nodded in agreement.

They left the City Lord Office and arrived at the Administrative Headquarters parking lot.

"Sister Jing, let me give you a ride," Zhao Wuxu said with a smile.

"How could we trouble you with that?" Jing Ziyuan said hesitantly.

"It's no trouble!" Zhao Wuxu said with a chuckle. "This time, I should be thanking A Yu. He really made me look good in front of the City Lord! Let me tell you, Eastsea City hasn't had anyone with Innate Full Soul Power in nearly a hundred years. A Yu is the first! That alone will be enough for Aolai City to receive more resource allocations than in previous years!"

"I see!" Only then did Jing Ziyuan truly realize just how precious her son was.
