Ning Tian's Confession, The Instructor and the Female Student's Story

By the side of Sea God Lake, two figures were particularly eye-catching: Ning Tian wore the school uniform of an Outer Court disciple, while Yu Daoyun wore a red school uniform, creating a stark contrast.

Yu Daoyun's physique was noticeably taller than Ning Tian's; after all, boys were generally taller than girls.

At this moment, Ning Tian walked along and whispered, "Senior, how old are you this year?"

"Twelve and a half, I suppose." Yu Daoyun thought for a moment, estimating that their ages were not far apart.

Ning Tian felt a jolt in her heart, calculating that the senior's age seemed to be even younger than her own.

Yet, to have become a Five-Ring Soul King at such a tender age was simply inconceivable; he was truly the number one genius of the Inner Court.

Such aptitude was rare across the entire continent, surely enough to qualify him as a Sea God Pavilion Reserve Master.

Ning Tian pondered for a moment, then asked, "Senior, will we have a chance to meet again?"

Yu Daoyun replied, "After returning to the Inner Court, I highly doubt I will have the time to come to the Outer Court again. I not only have cultivation tasks, but I also have duties with the Supervision Group. Recently, Evil Soul Masters have been wreaking havoc everywhere, and as a member of the Inner Court, I must participate in missions to eradicate them."

He spoke the truth; after all, in the Inner Court, the Supervision Group missions and the tasks assigned by Mu En were enough to occupy the better part of his time.

The remaining time, naturally, had to be reserved for himself.

Such as eating and sleeping.

Ning Tian felt a sudden sense of reluctance.

She would not be able to see him in the future; that stern instructor would vanish from her life, and in all likelihood, he would not return to the Outer Court.

Yes, he was very busy.

Unless she herself became an Inner Court disciple, then they could meet every day, and she wouldn't have to feel this reluctance.

Thinking of this, Ning Tian asked, "Senior, have you ever considered becoming a live-in son-in-law?"

When she said this, her cheeks turned as red as an apple; after all, for a girl to say such a thing was essentially a confession.

Ning Tian was the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, so she naturally could not confess in the traditional sense, as that would imply marrying out of her family.

Thus, the term "live-in son-in-law" was born.

At this moment.

What Yu Daoyun thought of first was not the prospect of being a live-in son-in-law, but rather the trope of the Dragon King returning after suffering humiliation.

Since ancient times, live-in sons-in-law never had a good ending; either the wife had a change of heart or the engagement was broken, followed by being looked down upon by the old matriarch of the house, treated with disdain even by the gatekeepers.

He certainly could not become that kind of person.

Yu Daoyun replied, "I definitely won't be a live-in son-in-law in the future. How spineless would a man be to live as one? Unless I had no ability of my own, but if I have the talent, I am determined to become a leader in the Soul Master World."

"Becoming a live-in son-in-law is a last resort, especially for a man. Once he has accumulated enough capital, he will absolutely break free from that status."

As he said this, Yu Daoyun took the opportunity to give Ning Tian a lesson.

No man wants to be a live-in son-in-law for his entire life, unless that man truly lacks ability and is kept firmly under the thumb of a woman with a very strong sense of ambition.

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Ning Tian's cheeks.

Senior Yu was unwilling to be a live-in son-in-law.

It made sense; over the years, the number of live-in sons-in-law in the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had dwindled, as very few powerful men were willing to take that role.

If that was the case, did she and the senior not have a chance?

Ning Tian took a deep breath and said, "Senior, have you ever heard of love? Actually, having spent such a long time with you, I think you must have felt something too, so I want to formally confess to you. Would you consider it?"

"Before this, I had already investigated you, Senior. You are from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and I am the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. I believe we are a perfect match, at least in terms of social standing."

This scene was exactly like a girl with a budding romance confessing to her instructor at the end of military training.

It just so happened that Yu Daoyun had encountered it this time.

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoyun froze in place, his face and ears feeling quite hot.

Was he being confessed to?

But he hadn't prepared himself mentally for this.

Although he would occasionally tease other girls in the Inner Court, he was still quite shy when actually being confessed to by a girl; he was, after all, still a little virgin.

"Senior, have you thought it over?" Ning Tian grew anxious after not receiving a response for a long time.

This was her first time confessing, too; no one had told her that boys reacted so slowly.

Wasn't this guy quite fierce during training? How had he revealed his true colors today?

Soon, after some thought, Yu Daoyun said earnestly, "Young Sect Master Ning, you know that I am a person with grand ambitions. At this age, I am obsessed with cultivation, so I have always treated you as a friend. Only later did I gradually realize it wasn't just a normal friendship. In short, I think it wouldn't be a problem to talk about this when we are older."

When facing a difficult question, the best method is neither to answer nor to refuse.

This tactic was often used by goddesses in his past life to string along their admirers, and he hadn't expected to use it here.

Ning Tian was stunned, having never expected such a response.

This guy was evading the essence of the matter.

Did he really think that she, the dignified Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, was some brainless idiot like Dai Huabin?

If you won't agree, then don't agree—what is the meaning of stringing me along?

Ning Tian grew more and more indignant, turning her head to glare at Yu Daoyun with her beautiful eyes.

Yu Daoyun smiled slightly, easing the awkwardness.

However, in the next second, Ning Tian suddenly grabbed Yu Daoyun's neck and kissed him directly, regardless of whether he agreed or not.

At least she could vent her anger for now.

Yu Daoyun was stunned, completely not expecting this girl to play by her own rules.

Was he being forcibly kissed?

Soon after Ning Tian forcibly kissed Yu Daoyun, she said indifferently, "To prevent you from stringing me along, I'll establish our relationship first. If you don't like me in the future, at least I will have paid for my youth once."

"I am Ning Tian, the young sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. I hope we can meet again next time."

With that, Ning Tian walked away generously, not stopping at all, as if afraid of what she might do in the next second.

Yu Daoyun just watched her retreating figure, somewhat dazed.

What a bold girl.

The goddess's tactic of fishing for a simp doesn't work on me! I need to find the campus belle and get my money back!!

Never mind... it's not all bad, at least I got the benefit.

After a period of internal struggle, Yu Daoyun put aside matters of romance and decided to return to the Inner Court to rest for a while, as the holiday was only a month away.

However, just as Yu Daoyun was preparing to head back to the Inner Court, he saw three figures by the lake in another spot.

Those three were Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong.

What were they doing here?

Driven by curiosity, Yu Daoyun approached to eavesdrop.

At this moment.

Huo Yuhao held a bottle of wine, gazing at the vast artificial lake, the lake breeze blowing against his face, feeling an unprecedented sense of defeat.

He had failed, only one step away from the finals, stopping in the semifinals.

He hadn't expected the first step in avenging his mother to encounter such a huge obstacle.

The New Student Assessment had hit him hard, so hard that he came to the lake at night to drink himself into a stupor, and he had also called Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao along.

They had failed, and they were going to be scolded by the old woman.

Children in their teens couldn't withstand such a blow, let alone Huo Yuhao and the others.

Wang Dong remained silent, tears streaming down her face.

She hadn't expected to lose so decisively either.

Xiao Xiao felt even more guilty and exclaimed, "I didn't perform well in this assessment. I have Twin Martial Souls, but I didn't utilize their strengths. It's my fault."

Wang Dong retorted angrily, "It's my fault, not yours."

Xiao Xiao stubbornly insisted, "It's mine."

"It's mine," Wang Dong said.

The two began to argue, their voices growing louder and fiercer.
