Zhang Lexuan's Protective Streak

To the side, Ma Xiaotao was also stunned by Qian Chaoyun's appetite.

Just how long had he been starving?

Come to think of it, Qian Chaoyun had helped her suppress her evil fire while in such a famished state; the consumption required for that was no small feat!

The little brother hadn't said a word, simply enduring the hunger until now.

It really was hard on the little brother.

Seeing that Qian Chaoyun was about to finish, Ma Xiaotao waved her hand, took out her own gold card, and said, "Senior Disciple Sister, please swipe my card. We can't let my little brother go hungry."

Zhang Lexuan waved her hand to push it away and said gently, "Use mine instead. Keep yours for yourself. These are just worldly possessions anyway, and I don't really have a use for them."

"Senior Disciple Sister, please, swipe mine!" Ma Xiaotao insisted firmly.

Watching this scene, Qian Chaoyun felt a warmth in his heart.

Senior Sister Le Xuan really is a good woman!

Ma Xiaotao is quite loyal, too; suppressing that evil fire wasn't in vain.

Before long, several more Nutritional Meals were placed in front of him, and Qian Chaoyun began to eat without standing on ceremony.

At this moment, many Inner Court Students were also eating in the cafeteria and happened to witness this scene.

What a voracious junior disciple.

Moreover, this junior disciple had the gentle Senior Disciple Sister by his side, which made the male students incredibly envious.

This kind of treatment was something one could only experience in their childhood.

Many girls also looked at Qian Chaoyun's face, their maternal instincts overflowing.

Such a handsome little brother—they wanted to pay for his meals, too.

However, some of the boys couldn't stand it anymore. Especially seeing the girls they liked staring at a junior disciple, they felt their pride had been trampled upon.

Leading them was Chu Qingtian and other veterans of the Inner Court.

Chu Qingtian spoke up, suggesting, "Senior Disciple Sister, the Nutritional Meals are too potent. You shouldn't let the junior disciple eat so much. What if something goes wrong later?"

Ye Xiaosheng chimed in, "That's right. At such a young age, he can't handle such heavy nourishment."

Seeing this, other boys also chimed in to discourage them, telling them not to keep feeding him.

However, Zhang Lexuan was somewhat displeased. Her brows arched as she scolded, "You lot aren't even half as diligent in your cultivation. Do you think I don't know whether he'll have problems or not? Especially you two—can you focus on doing something productive instead of getting jealous over a child?"

"If the little brother isn't well-fed, how am I supposed to carry out his cultivation lessons? Will you take responsibility if something goes wrong? And as for the rest of you with so much to say, everyone is getting extra training later. Whoever speaks another word will be sent to carry out Inspection Group missions."

Ma Xiaotao also chimed in angrily, "You bunch of guys, always fighting amongst yourselves, and now you're actually bullying my little brother? Do you think that just because I'm being burned by my Evil Fire, I wouldn't dare do anything to you?

If I don't beat your brains out in a moment, then my name isn't Flame Demon Ma Xiaotao!!"

As an Inner Court Disciple, Ma Xiaotao could tell at a glance that this group was targeting Qian Chaoyun.

If she didn't give them a reality check today, they might continue to make things difficult for her little brother in the future.

He was, after all, her savior.

Whoever bullied Qian Chaoyun, she would teach them a lesson.

It seemed that in this Inner Court, aside from Senior Disciple Sister Han Ruoruo and a few others, not many people could beat her.

Moreover, she had the Senior Disciple Sister backing her up.

Sure enough, the other male students immediately quieted down after being scolded like that.

They were a bit jealous and didn't want the girls they liked to pay attention to another guy.

But at the same time, they really didn't want to get beaten up.

The Senior Disciple Sister knew when to hold back, but if you really fought Ma Xiaotao, she would beat you like her life depended on it.

Chu Qingtian and Ye Xiaosheng, two veterans of the Inner Court, also kept their heads down and shoveled food into their mouths.

Beside them, Qian Chaoyun, who was busy stuffing his face, began to tear up while he ate.

Zhang Lexuan was truly a good person!

If she continued to treat him this well in the future, he wouldn't mind following her lead in everything.

Actually, Ma Xiaotao was quite good too; he could get along with both of them.

After breakfast, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao took Qian Chaoyun to familiarize himself with the academy and learn about some of its circumstances, effectively beginning his basic instruction.

In the Outer Court.

Xu Sanshi and the others had just finished their cultivation course when they ran into Zhang Lexuan and her group downstairs at the Teaching Building.

"Senior Disciple Sister."

Xu Sanshi stepped forward, putting on a dashing smile.

Tang Ya also greeted them as usual.

Beibei gave a polite nod.

Zhang Lexuan greeted the group and said softly, "Let me introduce you to a new addition to the academy, little brother Qian Chaoyun. He will be studying in the Outer Court when the new semester begins."

Xu Sanshi turned his body, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Qian Chaoyun.

This kid is quite handsome!

To have a face that women find irresistible at such a young age—no wonder the Senior Disciple Sister brought him to the Outer Court personally.

Oh, and Sister Xiaotao too.

This kid has quite the luck with women.

Beibei and Tang Ya, meanwhile, fell into deep thought.

The surname Qian... why does it feel vaguely familiar?

Beibei looked at Qian Chaoyun and asked, "Are you from the Qian Family, the ones with the Angel Spirit?"

Qian Chaoyun nodded and released his spirit with a wave of his hand.

In an instant, that divine power enveloped everyone, and they immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

However, the group focused their attention on Qian Chaoyun's soul rings and his soul power level.

An optimal soul ring configuration, a four-ringed soul master at thirteen years old.

This kid's talent is heaven-defying!

Xu Sanshi's eyes widened. "Sacred Angel, innate six wings."

Beibei and Tang Ya both gasped in unison.

This was the complete version of the Sacred Angel Spirit.

Zhang Lexuan looked at her junior disciples and spoke gently, "I won't say too much more to you all. Little brother has great talent; you will see him again when the semester starts."

With that, Zhang Lexuan took Qian Chaoyun away to familiarize him with the academy's environment.

The trio left behind remained dazed, unable to react for a moment.

Xu Sanshi couldn't help but remark, "Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like our academy is about to produce another genius. I don't even dare to imagine how powerful a complete Sacred Angel is."

"Aren't you afraid that this guy will use you as a stepping stone when school starts?" Beibei said.

"Heh."

Xu Sanshi patted his chest and said with extreme confidence, "My shield is so thick, can't it block an Angel Holy Sword?"

Tang Ya rolled her eyes and mocked, "Talk when you can actually withstand one of Beibei's full-force strikes. You really have no idea how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."

"But come to think of it, is this little brother an orphan? Perhaps he could join our Tang Sect."

Xu Sanshi mocked, "Tang Ya, you really are desperate. Have you forgotten how the Martial Soul Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago? This kid might not have any ill intentions toward the academy, but that's not necessarily the case for your Tang Sect."

"Ten thousand years ago, the Angel God Qian Renxue had her Godhead shattered by that person from your Tang Sect, which ultimately led to the degradation of her martial soul."

"The hatred for the destruction of the Martial Soul Hall might have faded, but the defects of the Sacred Angel Spirit follow them for a lifetime. Have you forgotten the tragedy of the Angel race?"

Tang Ya felt annoyed and restless, not wanting to pay any mind to Xu Sanshi.

This clumsy guy couldn't spit out a single nice word; he wasn't the least bit likable to girls.

She was just asking; it wouldn't kill anyone.

However, looking at it this way, Qian Chaoyun really wasn't suitable to join the Tang Sect. What if one day he turned traitor and stabbed her with a sword?

A few hours later, Zhang Lexuan finished showing Qian Chaoyun around the entire academy, effectively completing the first phase of her task.

Afterward, Zhang Lexuan lowered her head and said in a gentle voice, "Little brother, over the next few days, we are going to begin inner courtyard training. The intensity is going to be quite high!"

"Bring it on!"

Qian Chaoyun was already prepared; his body was terrifyingly strong.

Even if he were to hunt soul beasts right now, Qian Chaoyun believed it would be a piece of cake; slaying a soul beast of several thousand years would be no challenge at all.

As long as Elder Xuan wasn't the one leading him on a mission, that was fine.
