Off to the side, Ma Xiaotao was also stunned by Qian Chaoyun's appetite.
How long had he been starving?
Right, even when Qian Chaoyun was this hungry, he had still helped her suppress Evil Fire. The energy expenditure must have been enormous!
Little brother had not said a word and had endured hunger until now.
Poor little brother.
Seeing that Qian Chaoyun was about to finish eating, Ma Xiaotao grandly waved her hand and took out her gold card. "Senior Disciple Sister, please charge my card. We can't let little brother go hungry."
Zhang Lexuan waved her hand and pushed it away, saying gently, "Use mine instead. Keep yours. They're just worldly possessions, and I have no use for them anyway."
"Senior Disciple Sister, use mine!" Ma Xiaotao insisted.
Watching this scene, Qian Chaoyun felt warmth spread through his heart.
Senior Sister Lexuan really was a good woman!
Ma Xiaotao was loyal too. Suppressing that Evil Fire had not been for nothing.
Before long, several more Nutritional Meals were placed before him, and Qian Chaoyun dug in without any restraint.
At this time, quite a few Inner Court Students were eating in the cafeteria and happened to witness the scene.
What an appetite that junior disciple had.
And that junior disciple even had the gentle Senior Disciple Sister by his side. The male students were green with envy.
That kind of treatment could only be enjoyed as a child.
Quite a few girls looked at Qian Chaoyun as well, their maternal instincts overflowing.
They wanted to pay to treat such a pretty little brother to a meal too.
However, some of the boys could not stand it, especially after seeing the girls they liked staring at a little junior disciple. They immediately felt humiliated.
Leading them were Inner Court veterans like Chu Qingtian.
Chu Qingtian suggested, "Senior Disciple Sister, Nutritional Meals are too nourishing. We can't let a little junior disciple eat this much. What if something happens after he overeats?"
Ye Xiaosheng also chimed in, "Exactly. At his age, he can't handle so much nourishment."
Seeing this, the other boys also spoke up to dissuade them from feeding him any more.
However, Zhang Lexuan was somewhat displeased. Her brows rose sharply as she rebuked them, "None of you are ever proactive in your cultivation. Wouldn't I know whether he might have a problem from eating? Especially you two—can't you do something useful instead of getting jealous over a child?"
"If little brother doesn't eat his fill, how am I supposed to begin his cultivation lessons? If something happens, will you take responsibility? And all of you who have so much nonsense to say, you'll all receive extra training later. Anyone who keeps talking will go carry out Inspection Group missions."
Ma Xiaotao angrily echoed her, "You lot spend all day fighting among yourselves, and now you're bullying This Old Woman's little brother. Do you think This Old Woman can't do anything to you just because Evil Fire is burning through me?
"If I don't beat your dog brains out later, then I won't be called the Flame Demon, Ma Xiaotao!!"
As an Inner Court Disciple, Ma Xiaotao could see at a glance that these guys were targeting Qian Chaoyun.
If she did not put them in their place today, they might make things difficult for little brother in the future.
He was her savior.
Whoever bullied Qian Chaoyun, she would teach them a lesson.
It seemed that, aside from a few senior disciple sisters like Han Ruoruo, few people in the Inner Court could defeat her.
Besides, Senior Disciple Sister had her back.
Sure enough, after being scolded like that, the other male students immediately fell silent.
They were somewhat jealous and did not want the girls they liked looking at another male.
But at the same time, they truly did not want to get beaten up.
Senior Disciple Sister still showed some restraint when she struck, but if they fought Ma Xiaotao, she would beat them within an inch of their lives.
The two Inner Court veterans, Chu Qingtian and Ye Xiaosheng, also lowered their heads and shoveled food into their mouths.
Off to the side, Qian Chaoyun kept eating with his head lowered while tears streamed down his face.
Zhang Lexuan really was a good person!
If she continued treating him this well in the future, he would not mind following Zhang Lexuan's lead.
In truth, Ma Xiaotao was pretty good too. Both of them were worth getting along with.
After breakfast, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao took Qian Chaoyun around the Academy to familiarize him with it and explain some of its circumstances, beginning his basic instruction.
In the Outer Court.
Xu Sanshi and the others had just finished their cultivation lesson when they ran into Zhang Lexuan's group beneath the Teaching Building.
"Senior Disciple Sister."
Xu Sanshi stepped forward with a handsome smile.
Tang Ya greeted them as usual.
Beibei nodded politely.
After greeting them, Zhang Lexuan said softly, "Let me introduce him. This is Qian Chaoyun, a little brother who has just joined the Academy. When the New Students begin school, he will study in the Outer Court."
Xu Sanshi turned, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Qian Chaoyun.
This kid was rather handsome!
At such a young age, he already had a face women could not resist. No wonder Senior Disciple Sister had personally brought him to the Outer Court.
Oh, and Sister Xiaotao too.
This kid had quite the luck with women.
Beibei and Tang Ya, however, fell into thought.
Why did the surname Qian sound so familiar?
Beibei looked at Qian Chaoyun and asked, "Are you from the Qian Family, with an Angel Spirit?"
Qian Chaoyun nodded and released his Spirit with a wave of his hand.
In an instant, that Holy Power enveloped everyone, leaving them feeling refreshed and invigorated.
However, their gazes gathered on Qian Chaoyun's soul rings and Soul Power Level.
The optimal soul ring configuration—four rings at thirteen years old.
This kid's talent was heaven-defying!
Xu Sanshi's eyes widened. "Sacred Angel, Innate Six Wings."
Beibei and Tang Ya both sucked in a sharp breath.
This was the complete Sacred Angel Spirit.
Looking at these junior disciples, Zhang Lexuan spoke gently. "I won't tell you much more. Little brother's talent is very high. You'll meet him again when school begins."
With that, Zhang Lexuan took Qian Chaoyun away to familiarize him with the Academy's surroundings.
The three left standing there blankly did not react for quite some time.
Xu Sanshi could not help saying, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looks like our Academy is going to produce another genius. I can't even imagine how powerful a complete Sacred Angel could be."
"Aren't you afraid he'll make an example of you when school begins?" Beibei asked.
"Hehe."
Xu Sanshi patted his chest and said with absolute confidence, "My shield is so thick. Couldn't it block an Angel Holy Sword?"
Tang Ya rolled her eyes and mocked him, "Talk after you can withstand Beibei's full-force attack. You have no idea how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is."
"But then again, is this little brother an orphan? Maybe he could join our Tang Sect."
Xu Sanshi sneered, "Tang Ya, you really are desperate. Have you forgotten how Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago? This kid may not bear any ill will toward the Academy, but that might not be the case for your Tang Sect.
"Ten thousand years ago, Angel God Qian Renxue's Godhead was shattered by that person from your Tang Sect, which ultimately caused her Spirit to degenerate.
"The hatred over Spirit Hall's destruction may have faded, but the flaws of the Sacred Angel Spirit last a lifetime. Have you forgotten the tragedy of the Angel race?"
Tang Ya felt annoyed and did not want to pay Xu Sanshi any attention.
That clumsy-tongued guy could not say a single pleasant thing. No wonder girls did not like him at all.
She had merely asked. It was not as though it would cost her anything.
Still, in that case, Qian Chaoyun truly was not suited to join the Tang Sect. What if he became an ungrateful person one day and gave her a sword through the heart?
A few hours later, Zhang Lexuan had led Qian Chaoyun through the entire Academy, completing the first phase of her task.
Then Zhang Lexuan lowered her head and said gently, "Little brother, over the next few days, we'll begin Inner Court cultivation. The intensity will be a little high!"
"Bring it on!"
Qian Chaoyun was already prepared. His body was terrifyingly strong.
Even if he went to Hunt Soul Beasts now, Qian Chaoyun believed it would be effortless. Killing a Soul Beast that was several thousand years old would be no problem.
As long as Xuan Zi was not the one leading him on missions.
