Instructor Ruolin Arrives

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yu was instantly stunned, looking at Xiao Ning in disbelief.

Xiao Ning could only bitterly tell Xiao Yu the results of the previous family assessment, but Xiao Yu still found it hard to believe. "He became a Four-star Dou Zhe at fifteen? That guy is stronger than even me now?"

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yu thought to herself, No. Even though I find that little bastard annoying, if this is true, I need to tell Teacher!

Xiao Yu then looked at Xiao Ning and said, "Don't worry. As long as you cultivate properly, Xiao Yu won't bully you. I heard you've been bullying clan members in the family, is that right?"

Xiao Ning hemmed and hawed, not daring to speak. Xiao Yu glared at him. "Xiao Yu is only fifteen and already a Four-star Dou Zhe. You're two years older than him, yet you're still at the Eighth Stage Dou Qi. Cultivate properly during this time. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"

Xiao Ning's face fell. "Come on, Sis, I..."

Xiao Yu glared at him, and Xiao Ning immediately fell silent!

After leaving the room, Xiao Yu quickly sent a message to Instructor Ruolin at Jia Nan Academy. She had wanted to go to Xiao Yu's room and ask him about it, but she could not find him and had no choice but to give up.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu was cultivating Dou Techniques in the Chaotic Stone Forest on the Back Mountain. He had no time to waste here.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yu took Xun'er with him to the family Training Ground. Today was the day of the family's Coming-of-Age Ceremony pre-assessment. Xiao Yu had not originally planned to attend, but the system had assigned a task, so he still had to make an appearance. He could also watch Xiao Yan's iconic face-slapping moment while he was at it!

Many family members had already gathered at the Training Ground, and many wore nervous, uneasy expressions. Xiao Yu led Xun'er to sit in a corner. Xun'er asked quietly, "Brother Xiao Yu, are you not planning to take the test either?"

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. "I'm already a Dou Zhe. What would I take this for?"

Xun'er revealed a smile as lovely as a green lotus. "That's true. But what are Brother Xiao Yu's plans from here on?"

Xiao Yu turned to look at Xun'er. Seeing the hopeful look in her eyes, he was just about to speak when a woman's voice came from beside him. "Little bastard, Xun'er, what are you two doing sitting here?"

Xun'er chuckled softly. "I was talking with Brother Xiao Yu about our plans for the future!"

Xiao Yu immediately took Xun'er's little hand. "Come to Jia Nan Academy. With your talent, it would be such a waste if you didn't join Jia Nan Academy!"

Xun'er said nothing and instead looked toward Xiao Yu. However, Xiao Yu was currently signing in within his mind.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully signing in. Reward: Heavenly Flame Sword Manual! Please claim it!

Before Xiao Yu could recover from his shock, he heard the system's voice again.

Next sign-in location: Monster Beast Mountain Range, where Yun Yun has fallen unconscious! Reward: Unknown!

Unknown? Xiao Yu grew puzzled. Nothing like this had ever happened before. Still, he rather liked this sign-in task. Of course, he was only doing it for the system's task and reward, definitely not for Yun Yun! Definitely not!

Coming back to his senses, Xiao Yu said, "I might go, but I still have some matters to handle right now, so I'm not sure when I'll leave."

Xiao Yu huffed. "What, you have demands now?"

Xiao Yu said with a swagger, "Naturally. A genius should receive special treatment!"

Seeing Xiao Yu's punchable expression, Xiao Yu wanted nothing more than to go up and give him two punches. Then she heard him say with a grin, "Besides, if Jia Nan Academy doesn't agree, I can delay for a year or so. Of course, I'll be taking Xun'er with me!"

Xiao Yu crossed her arms. "You want to take Xun'er with you? Dream on! Xun'er, you agree with me, right?"

Xun'er beside them said nothing, merely gazing at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu immediately snapped, "I really don't know whether he fed you some kind of love potion!"

Still, when a young man and young woman with such outstanding talent stood together, they truly made a perfect match!

"Alright, alright, this test is boring anyway. I'm going back to cultivate!" Xiao Yu stood up, placed both hands behind his head, and leisurely walked out. Xun'er bade Xiao Yu farewell before quickly following after him.

At the family pre-assessment, Xiao Yan truly soared to prominence. His strength had returned to the Seventh Stage Dou Qi, and the glory that had once belonged to him had returned. Meanwhile, Xiao Yu was forging a legend of his own!

Days passed one after another, and Jia Nan Academy's recruitment was about to begin. That day, the Xiao Family welcomed several distinguished guests from Jia Nan Academy: Xiao Yu's instructor, Ruolin, and Xiao Yu's close friend, Xue Ni!

The moment Xiao Yu saw Instructor Ruolin, she pounced on her and lightly bit Ruolin's delicate earlobe. "It's only been a few days, but Yu'er missed Instructor so much!"

Instructor Ruolin's clear, watery eyes gleamed. "Is that so? If you hadn't discovered a promising talent, I doubt you would have sent me a message."

Seeing the teasing look in Instructor Ruolin's eyes, Xiao Yu's face immediately reddened. Xue Ni, standing to the side, said resentfully, "Can't you see me, woman? Hmph!"

"Welcome, welcome!" Xiao Yu said with a grin as she linked arms with Xue Ni.

"That's more like it!"

The group entered the Xiao Family, where Xiao Zhan personally received them and arranged accommodations. Once they had settled in, Ruolin asked Xiao Yu, "Where is the monstrous genius you mentioned?"

Xiao Yu said softly, "That little bastard comes and goes like a ghost. I haven't seen him for several days, but Xun'er should know where he is!"

"Xun'er? Is she the other genius you mentioned?" Ruolin asked.

Xiao Yu hurriedly nodded. "Teacher, you really should thank me properly this time for finding three promising talents for you!"

"Three?" Ruolin was somewhat surprised.

Xue Ni also looked at Xiao Yu curiously. Xiao Yu explained, "Xiao Yu's third brother, Xiao Yan. His talent has returned as well. He's now a Three-star Dou Zhe, a sixteen-year-old Three-star Dou Zhe!"

A trace of astonishment flashed through Ruolin's eyes. "Your Xiao Family has truly produced a group of geniuses!"

Xue Ni asked in confusion, "Then why isn't your talent as good as theirs?"

Xiao Yu glared at Xue Ni. "They're all freaks. I'm the normal one, alright?"

Jokes aside, Xiao Yu quickly brought Xun'er over. Looking at the elegant young girl before them, as lovely as a green lotus, both Ruolin and Xue Ni could not help but sigh. "So beautiful!"

"Did Cousin Xiao Yu call for Xun'er because something happened?" Xun'er had naturally noticed Ruolin and Xue Ni in the room.

Xiao Yu said with a smile, "It's nothing major. I just wanted to ask where Xiao Yu is."

Xun'er's eyes shifted. "They are?"

Xiao Yu explained, "She is my instructor at Jia Nan Academy, Ruolin. This is my good friend Xue Ni. They heard that our Xiao Family had produced several geniuses, and Instructor Ruolin wants to recruit them under her wing!"

Xun'er immediately understood and said, "Brother Xiao Yu doesn't like others disturbing him. I can tell Brother Xiao Yu what you want."

Ruolin could tell at a glance that the beautiful young girl before her was very protective of the Brother Xiao Yu she kept mentioning, but she said nothing. In any case, she had plenty of time!

Xun'er soon left and headed toward the Chaotic Stone Forest on the Back Mountain.

Xiao Yu, who was cultivating in the Chaotic Stone Forest, instantly sensed Xun'er's aura. Turning around, he saw Xun'er standing prettily to one side, smiling at him.

A smile also appeared on Xiao Yu's lips. "What made you think of coming here to find me today?"

Xun'er said directly, "Cousin Xiao Yu's instructor, Ruolin, has come to the Xiao Family and wants to meet you!"

"Oh?" Xiao Yu naturally knew of Xiao Yu's instructor, Ruolin. He had not expected her to arrive at the Xiao Family so quickly, much less want to see him. It seemed Xiao Yu had told Ruolin something!
