Teach them a lesson

After returning, Xiao Yu stayed in the pavilion to cultivate. However, the appearance of Cai Die aroused the curiosity of the others. She had the same face as Cai Lin, but her personality was completely different from Cai Lin's. Xiao Yu, Ruolin, and Xun'er all got along very well with Cai Die.

However, Xun'er would occasionally cast a rather resentful glance at him, after all, Xiao Yu had too many suitors.

During this time, Xiao Yu also took Xiao Nian out. The little guy had grown quite a bit in this time, with bright, sparkling eyes and a resemblance to Yun Yun in his features. Little Purple was no longer placed in the System Space and returned to its original form.

Xun'er and the others were startled when they saw Little Purple, after all, it was Fourth-Order Magical Beast, and a magical beast like the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King at that. However, Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "This guy has been following me since we were in the Monster Mountain Range, don't be afraid of it, it's very obedient."

Half-believing and half-doubting, Xiao Yu boldly went up and patted Little Purple's head. However, this guy was even more obedient than in front of Xiao Yu. In less than half a day, he learned to please people. Xiao Yu even wondered if this guy had gotten used to being a dog.

Two days passed quietly. That morning, as Xiao Yu stepped out of his room, he saw a small Seven-Colored Little Snake floating in mid-air, its round eyes staring at him. Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Little Cai, you're back? Did that crazy woman turn back?"

Little Cai tilted her head, looking at Xiao Yu with a somewhat blank expression. Xiao Yu chuckled and took out Little Cai's favorite Companion Purple Crystal Source from her Storage Ring. Little Cai's eyes lit up when she saw the Companion Purple Crystal Source. She flicked her tongue slightly and swallowed a drop of the Companion Purple Crystal Source, revealing a satisfied expression.

Xiao Yu gently stroked Little Cai Cai's head with his fingers. The little guy squinted his eyes and enjoyed it. Then, he circled in mid-air and fell into Xiao Yu's sleeve.

At that moment, Cai Lin's door opened, and a graceful, tall figure stepped out—it was Cai Die. Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Cai Die bowed slightly and said, "Young Master!"

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Since you're calling me 'Young Master' now, just call me by my name!"

Cai Die paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Didn't Qing Lin call you that back then too? Besides, you're my savior. Now that my strength and memories have returned, I still feel that staying by Young Master's side is the best choice!"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Your personality is so different from your sister's!"

After hearing this, Cai Die chuckled and said, "My sister is actually very kind. She always protected me when we were in the Snake People Clan. Even after I escaped from the Snake People Clan, she was still protecting me. Maybe she treats you like this because she doesn't have a good relationship with humans. Please don't mind!"

Hearing Cai Die's words, Xiao Yu smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps. By the way, I'm about to enter the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy. What will you do then?"

Cai Die asked with some confusion, "Of course I'll follow you, young master. Where else could I go?"

"However, your identity might be a bit problematic within the Jia Nan Academy." Xiao Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "How about this, you come with me to see the Dean. I'll see if I can help you get a position at the Jia Nan Academy. With your Dou Zong strength and good relations with the Jia Nan Academy, I think the Dean and the others shouldn't mind!"

Cai Die, naturally unaware of these things, replied, "I will follow your orders, young master."

In the lobby downstairs, Xun'er, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yan were all waiting. Seeing Xiao Yu and Cai Die come down together, Xun'er chuckled, "Brother Xiao Yu, it's time for us to head to the Inner Academy!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

When the five of them arrived at Hu Gan's study, the open space in front of them was full of people. They were all the top fifty in this Inner Academy Selection Tournament. Many of them looked at Xiao Yu with fear and awe, because most of them had been thrown off the competition stage by Xiao Yu at the last moment.

However, when most people saw the Cai Die behind Xiao Yu, they showed a hint of doubt and admiration. Her enchanting figure and pale red eyes were full of strange charm, making most of the men present infatuated with her.

Even the cold-blooded and ruthless Wu Hao was momentarily stunned when he saw the Cai Die, but he quickly recovered.

Xiao Yu Xiao Yu glanced around and smiled slightly when he saw Hu Jia and Wu Hao. Hu Jia and Wu Hao were taken aback, but they still nodded to Xiao Yu in acknowledgment.

Ten minutes later, the locked door suddenly opened, and Dean Hu Gan walked out of the study, followed by several other elders, including Elder Huo.

With their arrival, the whispers in the open space fell silent. Hu Gan's gaze swept around before settling on Xiao Yu's side, where he frowned slightly as he looked at Cai Die.

"Why is this woman here? Something seems off. Her gaze doesn't seem as domineering and sharp as before; it's become much gentler." Hu Gan thought to himself, but remained silent.

He stepped forward and said, "Dear students, today is the day you enter the Inner Academy. First of all, I congratulate you. Your hard work has finally paid off. The Inner Academy Inner Academy will allow you to unleash your full potential, and you will undergo a complete transformation."

Many of the students below showed anticipation and excitement; they had entered Jia Nan Academy precisely to become stronger.

Hu Gan continued, "The Inner Academy is the core of the Jia Nan Academy. Most students, including instructors, don't know its exact location. Now, let me take you to the Inner Academy!"

As he spoke, Hu Gan waved his hand, and ten black shadows flew over. After a moment, the shadows gradually grew larger, and they were the academy's flying vehicles, Griffin Beast.

"Now, you five go up in a group!" Hu Gan said with a smile, then looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, you'll come with me later, and this one too." Hu Gan pointed to Cai Die.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, while Xun'er and the others boarded another Griffin Beast.

The Griffin Beast quickly flapped their wings and took to the sky. High above, ten enormous Griffin Beast flew towards the endless mountain range behind the mountain. Hu Gan and the other three elders surrounded the Griffin Beast, while Xiao Yu and Cai Die followed behind Hu Gan.

Xiao Yu told Hu Gan about Cai Die's decision to stay at the academy. After pondering for a while, Hu Gan said, "I'm also unsure about this. We need to inform the Inner Academy. Here's what we'll do: you can go to the Inner Academy Inner Academy's elders later, and then you can tell them about this. But if you can guarantee she won't harm Jia Nan Academy, I think there shouldn't be any major problems!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Dean."

Hu Gan shook his head and laughed, "No need to thank me in time. This time, your strength is the highest among all the new students going to the inner Inner Academy. When Outer Academy students go to the inner Inner Academy, they have a competition with the Inner Academy students. Almost every time, Inner Academy Outer Academy students get bullied by the Inner Academy students. This time, I didn't tell the Inner Academy students about your strength, so, hehe..."

A gloating smile appeared on Hu Gan's aged face as he looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Remember to teach them a lesson. Our Outer Academy isn't something to be trifled with!"

Seeing the Dean's childlike smile, Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Alright, we'll do as the Dean says!"
