A Titled Douluo Personally Escorting Him??

The moment Rou'er saw him, her eyes lit up, and she immediately hurried over excitedly.

She snatched the jug of carrot juice from him, tipped her head back, and gulped down several mouthfuls, a satisfied expression appearing on her face.

After drinking, she raised her hand and slapped Yu Xiaoheng's shoulder with a bang.

"Xiao Heng, you really are my good brother!"

"I never thought that even while trapped in this dungeon, I'd still get to taste so many delicacies from the human world."

Rou'er grinned, revealing a pair of adorable little rabbit teeth.

"Don't worry. From now on, whenever I get meat to eat, I'll let you take the first two bites. I'll just drink the soup!"

As a Soft Bone Rabbit, she had little interest in meat to begin with. She was merely making a casual joke, trying to sound bold and gallant.

Yu Xiaoheng's mouth twitched as he replied helplessly, "Alright, alright. As long as you're happy."

He then turned serious. "I need to tell you something important. I can finally take you away."

"I'm heading to Lightning Academy soon, and I can take you out with me. That way, once you're no longer inside the sect, they won't be able to do anything to you."

"I put you in the dungeon before to keep you from being exposed, so that more people wouldn't covet your beauty."

Upon hearing this, Rou'er immediately nodded hard.

"Ah, good brother, you really are meticulous!"

"My mind really isn't as sharp as yours. From now on, I'll have to rely on you to make the decisions whenever something comes up."

Yu Xiaoheng forced a smile and led Rou'er out of the dungeon that had imprisoned her for half a month.

Several days later.

Outside the mountain gates of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

A small party stood ready to depart.

Yu Xiaoheng led the group, with Liu Erlong and Rou'er beside him, followed by Yu Lin and Yu Hu.

There were not many of them, specifically to avoid exposing his identity as the "kind and frail young master."

Far beyond the group's sight, several powerful auras lay concealed within the mountain forests. One of them was incomparably domineering—it belonged to Yu Yuanzhen.

The journey was long, so he would personally escort them.

Once they reached Lightning Academy's territory, other elders would take over the task of guarding them.

After all, Lightning Academy was filled with experts. Even if hostile forces wished to make a move, they would have to think twice.

Everyone traveling with them was one of their own, so Yu Xiaoheng's persona naturally would not be exposed.

As for Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaoheng had already spoken with her. He told her that he would be interacting with Rou'er this way so Rou'er would not feel inferior or estranged because she thought he held "great power."

Liu Erlong had always listened to him, so she obediently agreed at once.

Still, she could not help feeling a little sour inside, afraid that this mysterious girl might steal Yu Xiaoheng's attention.

That was until she saw Rou'er's attitude for herself.

Rou'er stepped forward without the slightest reserve, stretched out both arms, draped her left arm around Liu Erlong and her right around Yu Xiaoheng, and wore a warm, cheerful smile.

"So you must be worthy younger sister Erlong?"

"Erlong... worthy younger sister?"

Liu Erlong was stunned on the spot and did not react for a moment.

But Rou'er continued talking as if nothing had happened.

"I heard Xiao Heng talk about you. He said you're his virtuous helper and have assisted him a great deal. In the future, you'll have to take good care of Xiao Heng's family affairs! Xiao Heng and I are brothers, so from now on, your business is my business!"

Her words were brimming with heroic spirit.

Liu Erlong felt dazed as she listened.

Yet the line about how "Xiao Heng's family affairs will depend on you" somehow sounded especially pleasant to her ears.

The trace of sourness in her heart vanished completely.

Before long, she and Rou'er hit it off, and the two became very close.

Yu Xiaoheng watched the scene before him and nodded in satisfaction.

But even as he felt pleased, he could not help pondering it.

Should I really be pleased?

It seems like everything is heading in a good direction...

But will Rou'er sacrifice herself for her 'good brother' in the future?

That's really hard to say!

Amid his conflicted thoughts, a magnificent academy surrounded by Lightning Runes had already appeared on the horizon ahead.

Lightning Academy.

They had arrived.

The gates of Lightning Academy towered high.

A group of people had long been waiting outside them.

At the front stood a burly middle-aged man with a rugged face. When his eyes opened and closed, they seemed to flash with electricity.

He was Lei Xiaotian, the headmaster of Lightning Academy.

An eighty-fifth-level Assault Type Spirit Douluo, his Martial Soul was the Lightning Lizard. His entire body was covered in tough dark-purple scales, and he could unleash lightning storms across a wide area with astonishing might.

At his side stood two core instructors, one man and one woman.

The man was Fang Kun, a sixty-eighth-level Spirit Emperor whose Martial Soul was the Lightning Leopard. He excelled at close-range ambushes, his attacks as swift and fierce as thunderbolts.

The woman was Yina'er, a sixty-fifth-level Spirit Emperor whose Martial Soul was the Lightning Bird. She specialized in long-range attacks and aerial scouting.

When they saw Yu Xiaoheng's party approaching with so few people, strange expressions inevitably appeared on their faces.

They had said that a sect young master was coming to study here, yet the reception was far too shabby.

Fang Kun and Yina'er exchanged glances behind Lei Xiaotian, each seeing a trace of confusion in the other's eyes.

Rather than a young master, this entourage looked more like the child of some fallen noble family traveling abroad to study.

Lei Xiaotian, however, did not dare show the slightest negligence.

No matter how shabby the group appeared, the visitor was still the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!

He strode forward, forcing a gentle smile onto his face as he prepared to exchange a few pleasantries in the manner of an elder.

"Nephew Xiao Heng, you must have had a tiring journey..."

Before he could finish speaking—

The smile on Lei Xiaotian's face instantly froze, and his back stiffened.

The next moment, under the astonished gazes of Fang Kun, Yina'er, and all the teachers and students of Lightning Academy—

This eighty-fifth-level Spirit Douluo, the headmaster of Lightning Academy, suddenly went weak at the knees and directly dropped to one knee!

He bowed his head deeply, his posture humble to the extreme.

"This subordinate, Lei Xiaotian, welcomes the young master!"

It was practically groveling!

Fang Kun and Yina'er were dumbfounded.

Their headmaster, usually hot-tempered yet neither servile nor overbearing toward anyone, what was wrong with him today?

Why was he paying such a grand courtesy to a teenage boy?

They could not understand because their cultivation was not high enough to sense that fleeting, terrifying aura.

Just moments earlier, a domineering aura had swept across Lightning Academy.

Lei Xiaotian was absolutely certain that it belonged to Yu Yuanzhen, the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!

A Titled Douluo!

Yu Yuanzhen had not deliberately targeted him. He had merely confirmed that Yu Xiaoheng had arrived safely, then stirred his aura as he prepared to leave.

But even that brief leak of aura had terrified Lei Xiaotian out of his wits.

He had assumed Yu Xiaoheng was merely a relatively ordinary heir among the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's generations of successors.

Yet he had never imagined that Yu Xiaoheng carried enough weight for a sect master—a Titled Douluo—to personally escort him!

What level of importance was this? What an honor?!

Lei Xiaotian no longer dared harbor even a shred of contempt. His heart was filled with nothing but boundless awe.

Fang Kun and Yina'er were still shocked by their headmaster's actions, secretly grumbling, Isn't this too exaggerated?

You're groveling this much before a young master who doesn't even look particularly valued?

Hah... no wonder he's the headmaster.

They truly knew no fear because they knew nothing.
