Tang Qinghe had no idea that Jade Little Sister had already successfully coaxed Han San into becoming her disciple.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Right now, he had already arrived at the Teaching Affairs Office on the first floor of the main teaching building.

The person responsible for receiving new students was an old man who looked to be around sixty, with four stars hanging from his left chest—clearly a Jedi. With him were two great Jedi in their twenties and thirties, ready to assist him.

Tang Qinghe stood by the side, knocking on the wall, pretending not to know as he asked them about Jade Little Sister's situation, and casually handed over his own martial soul appraisal.

Seeing the martial soul appraisal Tang Qinghe had submitted, the elderly man revealed a faint smile on his face. "Innate Spirit Power, third rank, Battle Tiger martial soul. Cultivate well, strive to break through to the tenth rank before the end of the year, and obtain your Spirit Essence as soon as possible. Become a Jedi."

The other two old men also showed kind smiles on their faces. To have innate Spirit Power at the third rank—this level of talent was already not bad in the Jedi Academy.

After all, those who reached the fourth rank in innate Spirit Power had long been poached by the Martial Soul Hall.

Why else would they come to the Jedi Academy?

"Yes, elder," Tang Qinghe said respectfully.

President Xi, his face full of smiles, said, "Hehe, 'elder' isn't something you can just call anyone. My surname is Xi, and I am the teaching director of the Jedi Academy. You can call me President Xi. Tang Qinghe, I now welcome you to the Jedi Academy on its behalf."

As he spoke, President Xi handed over a neatly folded Jedi Academy uniform. "This is your gear. The academy provides room and board for free. You'll be staying in Dormitory Seven. An elder there will arrange your work-study duties. Go on."

"Thank you, President Xi."

Tang Qinghe took the package, turned, and walked out of the Teaching Affairs Office.

Just as he turned and stepped out the door, he happened to see Jade Little Sister holding Han San's hand as they walked past, with Han San's martial soul appraisal still in her hand.

As they brushed past each other, their eyes met briefly. Tang Qinghe seemed to catch a triumphant smile on Jade Little Sister's face.

That piece of trash is getting cocky. Fine, I'll add some fuel to the fire for you... Tang Qinghe sneered coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he put on an innocent look and said to Han San, "Han San, you really did take that old bastard as your master? I just asked about it—that old bastard is almost fifty, his Spirit Power is only at the twenty-ninth rank, and his martial soul is a boar that only knows how to fart..."

[Jade Little Sister resentment +888.]

Han San, having been brainwashed by Jade Little Sister the whole way, couldn't tolerate Tang Qinghe insulting his master like this. Even if you want to hit a dog, you have to look at its owner. His expression turned icy as he said, "Tang Qinghe, I don't want to hear anyone badmouth my master again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. Besides, as a master, the most important thing isn't strength—it's principles."

[Han San resentment +88888.]

[Han San's Favorability -59.]

[Ding! Han San's Favorability has returned to zero. The host disdains this and will take extreme measures.]

Seeing the four semi-transparent light screens that popped up, Tang Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He hadn't expected an unexpected bonus. It was a pity that Jade Little Sister's emotional value only provided a single point. To get her to provide emotional value again later, he would have to wait until he could beat Han San to a pulp.

Otherwise, with that piece of trash's inflated sense of superiority, there wouldn't be much oil to squeeze out.

Oh well, there's always time.

With that thought, Tang Qinghe nodded cheerfully and said, "Alright then, I wish you well on your journey."

With that, he walked away dejectedly, looking like a 'Han San is a dog biting Lü Dongbin—no good deed goes unpunished' kind of expression.

The three old men nearby saw this and felt deeply indignant for Tang Qinghe, thinking Han San was ungrateful. Just as they were about to speak, President Xi stopped them with a look.

There was nothing to be done. Jade Little Sister was a friend of the academy head, and Han San taking her as his master was already a done deal. They couldn't change a thing.

On the other side, as soon as Tang Qinghe stepped out of the Teaching Affairs Office, Jade Little Sister followed him out.

But the two exchanged no pleasantries, nor did they speak.

After leaving the Teaching Affairs Office, Jade Little Sister walked away with a smug smile, and Tang Qinghe sneered inwardly.

Just then, the System's notification rang in his mind.

[Ding! Detected antagonist character Yin Chen. Inquire whether to connect.]

"Yin Chen is here?" Tang Qinghe was startled, but then he realized he hadn't revealed any threat to Han San's strength or talent, nor had he harmed Han San. In fact, he had even played the 'bitter mouth and kind heart' act.

So he wasn't too worried.

Muttering to himself, he walked off. He wasn't in a hurry to head to Dormitory Seven.

Instead, he pretended to be lost and headed toward the back mountain of the academy.

After all, he had emotional values to collect and a ten-draw lottery event waiting. Naturally, he had to make good use of it.

At the same time.

In a secluded corner of the Jedi Academy, a figure in tattered gray robes revealed itself.

Watching from afar as Jade Little Sister coaxed her own son into taking her as his master, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

No matter how Yin Chen thought about it, he never expected to run into Jade Little Sister and that piece of trash here, and for that blind fool to stumble onto a dead end, guessing that Han San possessed a mutated martial soul and tricking his son into becoming her disciple.

Didn't she know that the prerequisite for a mutated martial soul to awaken was that the two martial souls were similar in quality, and only then could a mutated martial soul be awakened?

Something like the Azure Ganoderma, which could coexist with Haotian—how could it possibly be an ordinary martial soul?

That piece of trash was already courting death.

Thinking of this, Yin Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of murderous intent toward Jade Little Sister.

Just as Yin Chen was about to make a move and quietly kill Jade Little Sister, a graceful figure in purple-red caught his attention.

One could see a lively young girl walking away from the teaching grounds. Her figure and that of the wine seller Yin Chen were nearly identical in age and height. Her delicate little face was fair and translucent, tender and soft like a ripe, watery peach, making one unable to resist the urge to take a bite.

Her long black hair was combed into a bun that hung slightly at the back of her head. A pair of big, watery eyes surveyed her surroundings, her gaze filled with curiosity toward everything new around her.

But that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was the aura emanating from this young girl.

What had he seen? It was actually a thousand-year-old transformed demonic beast.

A moment later, Yin Chen slowly opened his clenched fist and pursed his lips.

What followed was a look of extreme excitement.

A look that had once accompanied him through his entire life.

—The path to immortality.

And the best candidate to teach him this path was undoubtedly the Martial Demon Hall.

Thinking of this, Yin Chen temporarily set aside his murderous intent toward Jade Little Sister, and a long-lost, relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Forget it. Jade Little Sister, this thing, was once in the Martial Demon Hall after all. Perhaps she knows how to get through the Martial Demon Tribulation. Moreover, she comes from the Cang Qiong Demon King Sect and is the descendant of that old dragon. Perhaps when I go to the Martial Demon Hall in the future, I can use her to pull the Cang Qiong Demon King Sect over to my side."

Then, he looked back at that delicate figure. "As for this little rabbit, let her cherish this last bit of good time."

Leaving these words behind, Yin Chen disappeared into the corner.
