Get Lost, Gangzi! Preparing to Head to Heaven Dou Academy!

Lan Yu crouched down, looking at Yu Xiaogang, who lay there like a dead dog, his tone laced with mockery.

Yu Xiaogang, who had been huffing with indignation, went instantly mute at these words as if poked in a sore spot, and could only turn his face away in silence.

"Damn, I actually guessed right? Don't tell me your third soul ring is also a hundred-year one?"

"Looking at how pathetic and weak you are, you don't exactly have the constitution to withstand a thousand-year soul ring."

"Enough! Stop talking! So what if it is? So what if my soul power has flaws? My theoretical knowledge is enough to make up for all of it!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly roared in a fit of shame and anger.

"Still have the energy to bark?"

Lan Yu sneered, stood up slowly, and looked down at him with disdain. "Xiaogang, I'm going to 'scratch your back' for you right now!"

"You... what are you doing?!"

Yu Xiaogang's face changed drastically, his body wriggling and struggling on the ground like a maggot in a pathetic display.

Just as Lan Yu's soul power surged and he was about to make a move, a loud "bang" echoed through the room—the door, already warped from Yu Xiaogang's impact, was kicked off its hinges from the outside.

"Oh, for heaven's sake! When you push a door, push it properly!"

Wang Hu, who had been watching Yu Xiaogang's miserable state from the side, couldn't help but wail at the sight of the completely ruined wooden door.

The person who entered was a middle-aged female teacher in a faculty uniform.

Hearing Wang Hu's wail, her face, marked by the passage of time, twitched slightly. She cleared her throat awkwardly, swept her gaze over the people in the room, and asked, "Where is that scoundrel Yu Xiaogang? A dignified Dean of Academic Affairs, and he has the nerve to bully a child!"

Who is this?

Seeing Lan Yu's puzzled expression, Wang Hu quickly leaned into his ear and whispered an introduction.

"This is our academy's ace teacher, Su Yue."

"She doesn't get along with Yu Xiaogang?" Lan Yu asked curiously in a low voice.

"It's more than just not getting along; the two of them are like fire and water. Teacher Su was originally a teacher at Fasno Intermediate Academy, and our Dean specifically poached her with the promise of the Dean of Academic Affairs position. But by the time she arrived, Yu Xiaogang had also come to seek refuge with the Dean."

At this point, Wang Hu noticed Su Yue glancing toward him and lowered his voice even further.

"Rumor has it that the Dean is a huge fanboy of Yu Xiaogang. To save face for his idol, he turned around and gave the Dean of Academic Affairs position to him instead."

"Initially, when Teacher Su found out the position had been snatched, she was dissatisfied, but it hadn't reached the point of a total falling out. But Yu Xiaogang is the type who occupies the latrine but doesn't do the business; he spends his days acting high and mighty, doing nothing but spouting his theories. What's most intolerable is that many other teachers in the academy worship him and are constantly hyping him up. They've used Teacher Su as a stepping stone time and again, saying things like, 'A teacher from the provincial capital dares to compete with The Wise One for a position?' And the Dean just turns a blind eye."

That disgusting?

Lan Yu frowned slightly, pointed at the person on the ground, and said to Su Yue, "Teacher Su, this is Yu Xiaogang."

Upon hearing this, Su Yue looked at him in disbelief, but still stepped forward slowly and bent down to look at the person on the floor. When she saw Yu Xiaogang's signature afro, she couldn't help but let out a scoff: "Hahaha, Yu Xiaogang, so you have a day like this too!"

Seeing the man on the ground remain silent, Su Yue snorted coldly, put her hands on her hips, and shouted toward the door, "Everyone come in and take a look! This is the 'Wise One' you all worship every day!"

Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground playing dead, stiffened at these words.

How could he possibly have the face to confront those people?

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and simply decided to fake a faint.

Lan Yu had no interest in being treated like a monkey in a show. Seeing more and more people entering the room, he decisively packed his luggage and left Dorm Seven directly with the two girls.

"The Wise One... he didn't actually faint, did he?" a young teacher asked hesitantly.

As the words fell, several older teachers nearby looked at the purple pig-like creature still wriggling on the floor, and they exchanged awkward glances.

If the man had fainted, how could his martial soul still be moving on its own?

It was one thing for a Soul Master to lose to a Soul Scholar, but he could at least put some effort into his fake faint.

Now, he had lost both his dignity and his reputation completely.

Being carried out, Yu Xiaogang heard the discussions and mocking laughter of the crowd, and his face turned green.

He couldn't stay at Notting Academy anymore; he had to leave.

He would have to go find Er Long! He hoped Xiao Han wouldn't blame him for rekindling their old flame.

He had heard that Flanyue had some decent talent under his wing; he would recruit them all when the time came... hehe.

Lan Yu, you treat me with indifference today, but one day I will make you regret looking down on me!

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang, eyes closed, revealed a smile of mysterious confidence at the corner of his mouth.

It would have been better if he hadn't smiled at all. At this sight, the two male teachers carrying him instantly got goosebumps, and their hands shook so hard they almost dropped him on the ground.

The next morning, Lan Yu arrived at the academy only to be slightly taken aback by the news that Yu Xiaogang had departed.

"Brother~ what's wrong?" Tang Shan leaned in, linking her arm through his and asking in a soft voice.

"It's nothing."

Time slipped by in the blink of an eye, and three years drifted away quietly.

A carriage was currently traveling along the road toward Soto City.

"Brother, how much longer until we reach Soto City?" Tang Shan rested her head lightly on Lan Yu's shoulder, her voice soft and sweet.

"Soon." Lan Yu looked out the window, stroking the spirit power dragon tail resting on his lap, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

"Lan Yu... brother, why are we going to Soto City?" Xiao Wu, sitting on the other side of Lan Yu, suddenly spoke up.

After three years together, Xiao Wu had long since fully integrated into this family. She had accepted Ah Yin as her godmother, making Lan Yu naturally her older brother, though she still found it somewhat difficult to call him that.

"Our final destination is the Tiandou Royal Academy in Tiandou City; Soto City is merely a place we are passing through."

Going to the Tiandou Royal Academy was a result of Lan Yu's careful deliberation. On one hand, there was the issue of Ah Yin's strength; he was now nine years old and at level twenty-nine, with his second spirit ring's age reaching around four thousand years, and the age of his future spirit rings would only continue to rise.

On the other hand, "wild" geniuses like them were exactly what the talent-hungry Tiandou Royal Academy welcomed most.

Moreover, after making inquiries over these past few years, he found the plot remained much the same as the original: the second and third princes had both been killed, the fourth prince, Xue Beng, was arrogant and domineering, and the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, was as gentle as jade.

In this way, after joining the Tiandou Royal Academy, both the Tiandou Imperial Family and Spirit Hall would assume they were on their side, which would save them quite a bit of trouble.

The most crucial point, however, was that it would allow him to get close to Dugu Yan, paving the way for obtaining immortal herbs in the future.

"The Tiandou Royal Academy?"

"Correct. But before that, I must send you back to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Why? Don't you want me anymore? Godmother clearly told you to take good care of me and Xiao Shan."

Xiao Wu leaned in front of him, her eyes reddening, looking utterly aggrieved.

Watching the cold, aloof girl before him look so pitiful, Lan Yu sighed: "The Tiandou Royal Academy alone has three Spirit Douluo instructors, not to mention the rest of Tiandou City!"

As his words fell, Xiao Wu instantly fell silent.

"Be good. As soon as I find a way to conceal your aura, I will come back to pick you up immediately, alright?"

Lan Yu reached out to cup the back of her head, pressing his forehead against hers, his voice softening.

Feeling the warm breath radiating from Lan Yu, a blush crept onto Xiao Wu's cheeks, and she replied with a sound as faint as a mosquito's hum.

"Mm~"

Beside them, Tang Shan had initially been reluctant to part with Xiao Wu, but upon catching sight of this scene, she immediately bit her pink lips.

Tang Shan, don't be angry, don't be angry...

Once Xiao Wu is gone, Brother will belong only to me.

At that time, hehe...

Thinking of this, the corners of Tang Shan's mouth curled up secretly and involuntarily.
