The next day, Dean's Cottage.
The sun shines through the window lattice, spreading warmth.
Liu Erlong has returned to the resolute and resolute dean of the past, but when his eyes wander, occasionally he glances at Xiao Yin who is sitting aside and lazily flipping through files, he will unconsciously feel a touch of softness.
When she thought of last night... the base of her ears felt a little hot again.
"Ahem."
She cleared her throat, forced down those charming images, and knocked on the table, "Don't be so casual, let me tell you something serious."
Xiao Yin put down the file without reading a single word, leaned back lazily in his chair, and smiled at the corner of his mouth:
"Listen, my dean. Do you want to give me some pocket money, or arrange for me to be the deputy dean?"
"You are so beautiful!"
Liu Erlong glared at him angrily, "Seriously, Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament four years from now, you must bring me back a championship!"
"That's it?"
Xiao Yin raised his eyebrows with an expression that said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" "With my current strength, I can crush him with one hand, okay?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Liu Erlong snorted, "The rules of the competition are seven-person team competition! No matter how good you are, you must have six teammates!"
She paused and continued, "There are good talents in the academy, but there are almost none who can keep up with you.
So from now on, we have to look for at least seven applicants."
Xiao Yin shrugged, noncommittal.
He has no interest in raising children.
Liu Erlong You can tell what he is thinking just by looking at his behavior, and he directly misses the point:
"I already have one candidate. You should have seen her yesterday, the girl you said you bumped into on the path downstairs when you came back."
Xiao Yin The girl with short maroon hair and eyes like a frightened deer immediately came to mind.
"Oh?" He was quite impressed.
"Her name is Jiang Zhu, Martial Soul is Healing Scepter, she is our Blue Tyrant Academy's currently best auxiliary device Soul Master, and she is also one of the most talented students in this class."
Liu Erlong introduced, with a hint of appreciation in his tone, "She has a quiet and hard-working personality, and Soul Power is also very solid in practice. Although Soul Power is not too high now, four years will be enough for her to grow into a very good support Soul Master. With her healing ability in the team, a lot of things can be saved."
She looked at Xiao Yin and said with an unquestionable tone, "You are idle anyway. From today on, she will be taken care of by you. Give her more guidance on her practice and get her coordination in advance. This is one of our future core team members."
Xiao Yin touched his chin, and the shy and serious look of the girl flashed before his eyes, which was a little more interesting than expected. He raised his lips and smiled:
"Okay, how dare you disobey the dean's orders? It's good to have a little sister to play with."
"Be more serious!"
Liu Erlong glared at him warningly, "I asked you to guide the practice, not to tease other girls! Jiang Zhu is thin-skinned and quiet-tempered, don't scare her."
"Am I that kind of person?" Xiao Yin looked innocent, then smiled evilly, "I'm obviously the most 'helpful' person."
Liu Erlong was too lazy to talk to him anymore, and waved his hand as if to shoo away flies. "Ganggun, I've asked her to wait outside. You can communicate with her yourself, I still have a lot of trouble to deal with."
After saying that, she buried her head in the files again, but her reddish ears revealed that she was not as calm as she appeared.
Xiao Yin smiled, stood up, straightened his robes, and slowly walked out of the dean's office.
By the window in the corridor outside the door, Jiang Zhu was waiting there quietly.
She still wears the light green school uniform that fits her perfectly, which makes her skin fairer and fairer.
She lowered her head slightly and clasped her hands nervously in front of her. The sunlight gave her short maroon hair a soft halo.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she raised her head suddenly and saw Xiao Yin coming out. Her cheeks suddenly turned red, her eyes flickered in panic, and then she spoke in a low voice:
"Old... teacher, the dean said, let me study with you... from now on."
Xiao Yin walked up to her and was more than a head taller than her. He looked down at her embarrassed look with even her fair neck dyed pink. She deliberately prolonged her tone and said in a low voice:
"Teacher? You? Do I look old?"
"Ah! No... no!"
Jiang Zhu waved his hands quickly and shook his head like a rattle. He was so anxious that he could not speak clearly.
"I mean... senior? Er... senior? The dean said you are very powerful and asked me to listen to you..."
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, until finally it was almost inaudible.
Xiao Yin chuckled, feeling that teasing this little girl was really a pleasant thing.
"Just call me Xiao Yin." He softened his tone, "The dean told me that we will practice together in the future and prepare for the competition in four years' time."
"Yes... yes."
Jiang Zhu calmed down a little, but still didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Yin's eyes, her gaze fell on his collar, "I will try my best not to hold you back."
"Hold up?"
Xiao Yin leaned over slightly and closed the distance a little, and could clearly see her fluttering eyelashes, "So unsure of yourself? The dean praised you as the best assistant in our college Soul Master!"
The suddenly shortened distance made Jiang Zhu take a breath and subconsciously took half a step back, his heart beating like a drum.
"I... I will work harder!"
She clenched her little fists, as if to cheer herself up, and finally plucked up the courage to look up at Xiao Yin, but then quickly moved away.
"Please... please give me more advice, Xiao...Xiao Yin... senior." She still added the honorific.
That glance was moist, with the purity and shyness unique to a girl, like a feather gently tickling the tip of the heart.
Xiao Yin The curve of the corners of his mouth became deeper. He straightened up and stopped staring at people so as not to really scare them.
I don't know why, but Xiao Yin always feels like there are some changes in his mentality. Maybe it's... the change brought about by his improvement in strength!
"Teaching is out of the question, let's learn from each other."
He spoke in a relaxed tone, "My cultivation method may be a bit... special. I hope you can keep up."
"I will definitely do it!" Jiang Zhu nodded vigorously with a serious expression.
"Okay," Xiao Yin looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, "The weather is nice today, let's go, I'll take you somewhere, it's... the first lesson."
He said and stretched out his hand naturally.
Jiang Zhu looked at the slender and powerful hand stretched out in front of him. He was stunned for a moment. His cheeks turned red again. He looked at Xiao Yin at a loss. Then he looked at that hand again. He couldn't accept it or not.
Xiao Yin raised his eyebrows and waved his hand. "What are you doing standing still? Do you want to walk? That place is not close."
"Ah? Oh... oh!"
Jiang Zhu then realized that the other party might just want to take her on her way in a certain way, not... what she thought.
I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. My cheeks were so hot that I could fry an egg.
She carefully touched Xiao Yin's fingertips with her fingertips.
Xiao Yin held her cool and soft little hand with his backhand, feeling it delicately.
"Hurry up."
The next moment, Soul Power moved slightly, and the two figures disappeared from the corridor in an instant, leaving only the rustling of leaves outside the window.
