"Sigh, this means I have to go abroad. Sister Xin, you won't be able to see me anymore," Xu Qing sighed.
Xu Xin was amused by him; this was a place others would break their heads trying to get into, yet he was actually a bit reluctant.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to make it," Xu Xin smiled, her eyes filled with gratification.
"Linlin said the same thing. I really don't know what to do with you two," Xu Qing muttered.
Xu Xin rubbed his face vigorously; he was such a cute, silly younger brother.
By now, everyone's attention was focused on Xu Qing, and that young master of the Wang Family had been completely ignored.
This was hardly surprising. Once Xu Qing entered the Elite Training Camp, even the Underground Alliance would have to scramble to curry favor with him. That was the allure of the Elite Training Camp.
Because the Elite Training Camp was full of monsters, it was a place to expand one's powerful, invincible connections, and one could even come into contact with peerless powerhouses like Thor and Hong.
"Elder Xu, I just remembered I have something to attend to. I'll stop bothering you here for today; I'll come to pay a formal visit another time," Wang Xingping could no longer stay and found an excuse to slip away.
"Xiao Gang, see the young master off," Elder Xu commanded.
Xu Gang stood up, escorted Wang Xingping to the door, and watched him get into his car and leave.
After sending Wang Xingping away, Xu Gang immediately returned to the hall. "Xiao Qing, hurry and tell us, what exactly is going on?"
He was truly curious about how Xu Qing had managed to soar to such heights overnight.
"Actually, it's nothing much. It was just this and that, and then that and this..."
Unable to withstand Xu Gang's persistent questioning, Xu Qing gave a brief account of what had happened at the Limit General Hall today.
"Haha, Xiao Qing, you really are amazing," Xu Gang laughed out loud after hearing it.
Even the Elder and Xu Xin's parents looked at Xu Qing with different eyes now. Such a monster had been hiding right under their noses, yet they hadn't noticed a thing.
One could only say that Xu Qing's appearance was far too deceptive.
"Truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover. Xiao Qing, Xinxin, why don't you invite your teacher over for a meal at the house some day?" The Elder didn't refer to her as Xu Qing's girlfriend, but as his teacher; the implication was quite different.
"Alright, Grandfather," Xu Xin knew that the Elder had clearly decided not to interfere in the relationship between Xu Qing and Qin Lin.
"We also want to see just how outstanding the person who managed to captivate our Xiao Qing really is," Xu Xin's parents also said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's not right. It's the other way around—I'm the one who captivated her," Xu Qing said with a proud look on his face.
Everyone was immediately amused by him.
At this moment, Wang Xingping, having left the Xu Family Manor, was being driven back to the high-end hotel where he was staying.
"I didn't expect Xu Xin's brother to be such a monster. The value of the Xu Family just went up significantly," Wang Xingping said with a dark expression.
The Elite Training Camp—even for their Wang Family, after pulling every string possible, they could only manage to scrape together tens of billions to reserve a spot for the coming year.
One could see just how precious a spot in the Elite Training Camp was.
If Xu Qing really got in, the status of the Xu Family would rise sharply, perhaps even to a point where the Wang Family couldn't suppress them.
"Young Master, should this information be reported to the family?" the butler asked.
Wang Xingping shook his head. "It's not confirmed yet, so don't spread it around to avoid making a fool of ourselves."
After a pause, he added, "You can have someone go to the Limit General Hall to inquire. Once it's confirmed to be true, report it immediately."
"Yes," the butler nodded.
That night, Xu Qing stayed in his room and sent a message to Qin Lin: "Grandfather wants to invite you to dinner."
"Really? When?" Qin Lin was surprised.
"How about tomorrow? It's just a meal, so keep it casual," Xu Qing said.
Qin Lin thought for a moment. "Alright, let's make it tomorrow. I'll come over in the morning."
"OK, I'll be waiting for you."
After sending the message, Xu Qing put down his phone, lay on the bed, rolled around a few times, and laughed.
The next day, at eleven in the morning, Xu Qing went outside the main gate to wait.
A few minutes later, a familiar off-road vehicle sped over and stopped in front of Xu Qing.
Through the car window, Xu Qing saw a face that was both familiar and yet slightly strange.
"Wow, Linlin, you're wearing makeup. You look so beautiful," Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise.
It was the first time he had seen Qin Lin wearing makeup; it added a touch of allure to her cold demeanor, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
It wasn't just the makeup; she wore an ice-blue long dress that accentuated her graceful figure. Her long, jet-black hair was draped behind her, and her eyes were moist yet carried a faint, icy chill, giving her an ethereal and aloof temperament.
Wearing high heels made her appear even taller.
"Looks like the effort wasn't wasted. Get in," Qin Lin smiled brightly.
Xu Qing got into the car, and they drove into the Xu Family Manor.
The off-road vehicle stopped in front of the villa, and Xu Qing and Qin Lin stepped out.
Qin Lin took some gifts from the back seat, and seeing this, Xu Qing hurriedly reached out to help. "Let me, let me."
"Miss Qin, please," the Xu family servant bowed and led the way.
Walking into the living room, the members of the Xu Family were already gathered.
The moment Qin Lin appeared, everyone looked over, struck by how stunning she was at first glance.
Wow, Teacher Qin is truly impressive, Xu Xin marveled to herself.
Such an entrance was in no way inferior to those of female celebrities; in fact, it was even more perfect.
It was clear just how much Qin Lin valued Xu Qing.
"Little sister, is this really your teacher? She's too beautiful," Xu Gang thought to himself, having seen his fair share of beauties, but Qin Lin completely exceeded his imagination.
He figured it might be because she was also a powerful martial artist; that kind of temperament was simply not something an ordinary person could possess.
"Of course. Teacher Qin is a famous beauty at our school. She's talented, too, and has plenty of secret admirers, but no one dares to make a move on her," Xu Xin smiled.
"That goes without saying. Who would dare? They'd have to be tired of living," Xu Gang agreed deeply.
Nearby, Elder Xu and Xu Xin's parents were sizing up Qin Lin, and they had to admit, their first impression was excellent.
"Greetings, Elder Xu, Uncle, Auntie. I am Qin Lin. I didn't prepare much for today's visit, just a few small gifts. Please, don't stand on ceremony," Qin Lin said with a faint smile, greeting the three elders.
"You're very thoughtful, Little Qin. Please, sit down," Xu Xin's mother took the initiative to welcome her.
Soon, Xu Xin and her mother began chatting with Qin Lin.
Xu Qing wanted to go over as well, but he was pulled back by Xu Gang. "What are you going over there for? Just stay here."
"Oh," Xu Qing glanced at Elder Xu and Xu Xin's father, then obediently sat down.
Elder Xu and Xu Xin's father observed for a while and nodded to themselves; Qin Lin's manners and speech were outstanding. Compared to ordinary women, she possessed a certain aura and a more assertive presence.
By contrast, they glanced at Xu Qing, and well...
"Hehe," Xu Qing noticed the gazes of Elder Xu and Xu Xin's father and gave a silly grin.
Elder Xu and Xu Xin's father withdrew their gazes. Very well, it seemed their personalities were indeed complementary; it was no wonder they had taken a liking to each other.
