Qian Renxue's Arrangements

"T-Tianyi, y-you may sit down."

Liu Fangfang spoke in a trembling voice she herself had not even noticed.

Hearing this, Lin Tianyi calmly sat down after glancing around at the shocked, dumbfounded expressions on the thirteen classmates' faces.

Pursing her lips, Liu Fangfang finally managed to suppress her surging emotions. Smiling, she turned her gaze to the adorable, doll-like Lin Xianxian and gently asked her to introduce herself.

Lin Xianxian put down the little cake in her hand, rose to her feet, and introduced herself.

"My name is Lin Xianxian. I'm six years old. My martial soul is the Dragon's Roar Sword, and my Soul Power is level eighteen. I'm Tianyi's wife. Please take care of me."

After speaking, she ignored the petrified reactions of everyone in the classroom, sat back down as if nothing had happened, and continued eating the little cake in her hand with crescent-shaped eyes, as though nothing in the world was more important than it.

Silence once again spread through the entire classroom. Having been struck and stunned one after another by Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian, they felt as if they were in a dream. It was too unreal.

Liu Fangfang mechanically continued with the usual first-day-of-school routine. Before she knew it, one class had passed.

Since it was the first day of school, the first-year students only had this one class to get initially acquainted with one another.

When the dismissal bell rang, Lin Tianyi took Lin Xianxian, who was still eating, by the hand and rose to leave the classroom under the watchful eyes of Teacher Liu Fangfang, Ning Rongrong, and the other thirteen students.

Before leaving, he politely said goodbye to Liu Fangfang, who forced a smile in response.

Watching Lin Xianxian's retreating figure, Ning Rongrong murmured inwardly, She's Lin Tianyi's fiancée, and she's actually a monster too...

Lin Tianyi led Lin Xianxian slowly toward the academy gates. On the surface, one was silent while the other kept eating little cakes, but in truth, they were communicating through their thoughts.

"Xianxian, I met so many people today, and those nobles even looked down on us when we enrolled. Why didn't any side quests trigger?"

"It's not that easy. Do you think side quests are cabbages, appearing whenever you want them to?"

Lin Xianxian rolled her adorable eyes at Lin Tianyi.

A trace of disappointment appeared on Lin Tianyi's little face. He had thought that joining the academy and meeting more people would trigger more side quests, allowing him to rapidly increase his Soul Power.

It seemed he still had to focus on cultivating himself. He would need to break through level thirty as soon as possible and obtain that incredibly generous reward.

He estimated it would take around two years to break through level thirty and obtain that precious Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Holding Lin Xianxian's hand, he reached the academy gates and looked around, only to find that his parents had not come to pick them up yet. The elders of the other children were already craning their necks and peering into the academy.

Lin Tianyi silently grumbled that his parents were truly unreliable. Xianxian and I are only six. Aren't they afraid we'll get kidnapped?

Just then, a clear, gentle voice sounded beside his ear.

"Tianyi, over here."

He was slightly startled. Following the voice, he saw Qian Renxue dressed in a gorgeous golden gown. Tall and graceful, with a noble and elegant bearing, she was lightly waving her slender hand at him.

A gentle, water-like smile rested on her breathtakingly beautiful face.

Lin Tianyi's childish face first went blank, then broke into a smile. Pulling Lin Xianxian along, he hurried over at a quick trot.

"Big Sister, why are you here?" Lin Tianyi called her Big Sister without the slightest awkwardness.

Qian Renxue gave Lin Xianxian, who was still eating her little cake, a deep look. Then she bent down, raised her slender jade-like hand, and gently pinched Lin Tianyi's cheek. A soft smile adorned her stunning face.

"Big Sister missed Tianyi. How about Big Sister comes to pick you up after school every day from now on?"

Lin Tianyi nodded with a smile, while Lin Xianxian continued eating her little cake.

Qian Renxue then had Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian board her luxurious carriage to return to Lin Family Village.

Worried that his parents would not be able to find him and Lin Xianxian, Lin Tianyi wanted to wait at the academy gates.

Qian Renxue smiled with mischievous mystery. "Don't worry. Big Sister has already arranged everything."

Knowing Qian Renxue's influence, Lin Tianyi did not refuse again after hearing that. Holding Lin Xianxian's hand, he climbed into Qian Renxue's luxurious carriage.

Qian Renxue gave Snake Lance Douluo, who was concealed in the shadows, a look. Then she smiled and entered the carriage. After giving the coachman an instruction, the carriage steadily traveled down the broad bluestone street.

Having received Qian Renxue's order, Snake Lance Douluo, hidden among the crowd, slowly walked into a dim alley.

An old man with white hair and beard was half-lying against the wall on the ground of the alley. His eyes were shut, and he appeared to have fainted.

Snake Lance Douluo took an exquisite little black jade bottle from his robes, opened it, and held it beneath the old man's nose and mouth so he could smell what was inside.

Then, he raised his hand and withdrew the power sealing the old man's Soul Power before vanishing in an instant.

Not long afterward, the old man's eyelids trembled slightly before snapping open.

He looked blankly at himself sitting against the wall, utterly confused.

Why am I sitting here? Wasn't I secretly protecting the Second Young Master?

Gradually, he remembered. Not long ago, it seemed that something had attacked him. Then everything went dark, and he knew nothing until now.

Still confused, the old man's expression suddenly changed dramatically.

"Second Young Master!!"

He hurriedly sprang up and dashed out of the alley. He found that the first-year students, now out of class, were leaving the academy one after another, but he could not see Lin Tianyi or Lin Xianxian anywhere.

He was about to rush into the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy, desperate and worried to find Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian.

For someone to knock him unconscious without his knowledge, despite his strength as a level seventy-five Soul Sage, how terrifyingly powerful would they have to be?!

But before he could rush into the academy, his aged, anxious gaze suddenly caught sight of two figures he could not have known better.

He immediately changed direction and rushed before the plainly dressed Lin Tu and Qin Hui, anxiously recounting what had happened to him and his suspicion that the other party might intend to harm Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian.

There was no change in Lin Tu and Qin Hui's expressions. Instead, they looked puzzled.

That was because, not long ago, while they were on their way to pick up Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian from school, a mysterious expert had blocked their path. The other party was extremely powerful.

However, they had no intention of harming them. They had merely held them up for a while before leaving.

Before departing, though, they had left behind one sentence:

"You will no longer need to pick Lin Tianyi up or drop him off. He will return safely to Lin Family Village."

The luxurious carriage stopped in the most bustling district of the imperial capital. Shops stood in rows, street food lined the roads, and tantalizing aromas drifted through several streets.

Qian Renxue gently led Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian out of the carriage and toward a top-tier children's clothing store, intending to buy them clothes.

It seemed the store owner had received notice long ago. There was not a single customer in the entire high-end children's store, as though it had been reserved exclusively for Lin Tianyi and Lin Xianxian.

The moment they entered the store, an air of luxury, expense, and elegance washed over them.

Overall, Lin Tianyi could sum up his impression in one sentence—

This was not a place where a poor kid like him could afford to shop!
