Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xu Hanfeng followed Ye Lingling to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was not within Heaven Dou City, but outside it.

"Who are you?"

Several Soul Masters in academy uniforms approached Ye Lingling and Xu Hanfeng.

"Ye Family, Ye Lingling."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stepped aside.

Everyone knew the Ye Family's status. It was not much weaker than that of Poison Douluo.

Ye Lingling led Xu Hanfeng into Heaven Dou Royal Academy and into the Teaching Committee.

"Lingling, you've finally come."

The three members of the Teaching Committee immediately stood and walked over.

They wore robes custom-made by Spirit Hall, garments only Soul Saints could wear.

This showed that the three committee members were still only Soul Saints, not the Spirit Douluos they would become years later.

Meng Shenji, who was of average build, stepped forward. "Ye Lingling, this is your academy uniform. If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Ye Lingling accepted the uniform.

Behind Meng Shenji, a very plump committee member, Bai Baoshan, asked, "Lingling, which family does this child belong to?"

Xu Hanfeng was somewhat speechless, but there was nothing he could do. He did look like a child.

"Hello, Grandpa. My name is Xu Hanfeng. I'm just here to take a look. Aunt Ye said I can come study at the academy later."

Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji and the other two were somewhat surprised.

This Aunt Ye could only be Ye Liuli, the Ye Family Head.

If she spoke up, let alone one person, even ten would not be a problem.

Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy had many nobles and plenty of useless people, it was undeniably one of the best academies in the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Haha... certainly, of course there's no problem. Little fellow, what is your martial soul?" Zhi Lin asked.

"This Grandpa, you'll find out when the time comes."

"Alright... it seems your martial soul is quite extraordinary."

Zhi Lin smiled.

They did not think highly of Xu Hanfeng. They were merely giving Ye Liuli face.

Xu Hanfeng did not care either. They were all just tools.

Once he developed in the future, he alone would be an academy, a sect.

If it were not for the fact that he was ineligible to participate in the Soul Master Competition, and that Dugu Yan was here, he truly would not have wanted to come.

After a while, Ye Lingling and Xu Hanfeng left the Teaching Committee.

"Xiao Feng, I'll take you to meet someone later. She's a good friend of mine."

Ye Lingling reminded him.

Xu Hanfeng found it somewhat surprising. Ye Lingling was so aloof and quiet, yet she actually had a good friend.

Still, he nodded.

The two arrived at the edge of a forest within Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

They saw a young girl standing among the trees, her short dark-purple hair gently swaying in the breeze.

Her face was full of heroic spirit, and her brows carried a sharp edge.

Yet amidst that heroic air was a bewitching charm that made people unable to resist looking at her a few more times.

Her eyes were green, strangely so.

In contrast to her eyes, her skin was white as jade, creating a stark contrast.

The moment Xu Hanfeng saw her hair and eyes, he knew who this girl was.

Who else could it be but Dugu Yan?

Dugu Yan was slender and well-proportioned, dressed in a tight combat suit that outlined her slightly developed, graceful curves.

Her heroic air and bewitching charm intertwined, forming a unique allure that belonged to her alone.

"Lingling."

When Dugu Yan saw Ye Lingling approach, she brightened and immediately rushed over.

She grabbed Ye Lingling by the shoulders.

"You've come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Mm... I'll be studying here from now on."

"That's great."

Dugu Yan was delighted.

A tall man with rather ordinary looks walked over from not far away.

"Yan Yan, who is this?"

At that, Dugu Yan immediately frowned.

"Yu Tianheng, I told you already, we're not that close. Don't call me that!"

Dugu Yan was deeply annoyed. She had come all the way here,

yet this clingy pest had followed her.

Yu Tianheng was somewhat embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do.

Dugu Yan was Dugu Bo's granddaughter. If he could win her over, then becoming the future sect master of his clan would be guaranteed.

But this woman was truly difficult to handle.

Xu Hanfeng could not help but laugh. He had not expected Yu Tianheng to still be nothing more than a simp.

Yan, Feng Xiaotian, your good brother has arrived.

The trio of simps?

Hearing the laughter, Dugu Yan finally noticed Xu Hanfeng beside Ye Lingling.

Dugu Yan's gaze landed on Xu Hanfeng, and her beautiful eyes immediately lit up.

Not only was this little brother handsome, he also possessed a few traces of adorable childishness that made her take a liking to him.

A smile curled across her lips as she quickly walked over to Xu Hanfeng and reached out to pinch his cheek.

"Lingling! Why have you never told me you had such a little brother?"

As Dugu Yan pinched Xu Hanfeng's cheek, she turned to look at Ye Lingling. Xu Hanfeng could even hear a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Ugh..." Xu Hanfeng's eyes widened, his face full of speechlessness.

He had not expected to be pinched around like a toy, and he felt utterly helpless.

If it weren't for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I'd slap your ass right now.

But women could not be indulged either...

He raised his hand, removed Dugu Yan's hand, and said irritably,

"What are you doing?"

Dugu Yan did not mind at all. Instead, her smile grew even brighter.

She blinked her green eyes and teased, "Oh, little brother, don't be so cold.

Big sister just thinks you're too cute and couldn't resist pinching you."

After saying that, she reached out again, intending to pinch Xu Hanfeng's face once more.

Xu Hanfeng hurriedly stepped back and glared at her. "Keep your hands to yourself. Men and women should not touch freely!"

Dugu Yan laughed even more happily, her body trembling with laughter.

Dugu Yan's Snowy was not small either. It was only because she wore a tight combat suit that it did not tremble as well.

Watching from the side, Yu Tianheng's heart sank.

Why do I feel like I'm about to lose?

However, Yu Tianheng felt that it was merely his imagination.

After all, Xu Hanfeng was only a child. Dugu Yan probably just found him amusing.

The advantage is mine!!

Dugu Yan crossed her arms and tilted her head at Xu Hanfeng, her eyes brimming with amusement. "Oh, you've got quite the temper.

But the more you act like this, the more interesting Big Sister finds you.

And what do you mean, men and women should not touch freely? You're just a child right now."

Watching the two fool around, even the aloof Ye Lingling could not help covering her mouth and laughing softly.

She said quietly, "Xiao Feng, don't mind her. Yan Yan is just like this. She likes teasing people."

Xu Hanfeng sighed helplessly and rubbed his cheek, which had been pinched slightly red.

It was one thing for this woman to lay hands on him, but she had even used so much force.

Dugu Yan's smile deepened as she leaned close to Xu Hanfeng and blinked.

With a playful hint in her voice, she said, "Little brother, make sure to come play with Big Sister often from now on. Big Sister likes you very much."

Xu Hanfeng rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay her any more attention.

He turned and walked to Ye Lingling's side, saying softly, "Sister Lingling, let's go. Don't pay attention to this bad woman."
