The Romance Continent Is Still Cooking! East Sea's Arrangements [Please Keep Reading]

By the time Jiang Yan and Na'er returned home, the old man was still absorbing heavenly treasures in the living room under Jiang Lingli's protection. Eight soul rings beneath his feet were radiating brilliant light.

"Yan'er is back. You and Na'er should head to your rooms first. Your grandfather will need a while longer here."

Seeing the two return, Jiang Lingli looked up with a smile and greeted them, pointing in the direction of the rooms.

"Okay, Uncle Li."

Jiang Yan immediately nodded. As he returned to his room, his gaze inadvertently fell on his grandfather, who was enveloped in the energy of spirit fruits, and anticipation rose in his heart.

He knew all too well about the injuries in his grandfather's body. Otherwise, his potential would not have been affected, leaving him stuck at Soul Douluo for decades.

I hope this can heal his injuries... Wait, how did I forget Grandpa's and Uncle Li's information panels?

"System, open the panels."

[Yes, Host]

[Character Information Card: Jiang Lingli]

[Rank 91 Titled Douluo. Martial Soul: Tyrannosaurus Rex. Title: Tyrant Dragon. One of the eighteen branch tower masters of the Spirit Pagoda. Tower Master of East Sea City. Innate Soul Power Rank 9. Raised alongside his younger brother under their uncle's care before joining the Spirit Pagoda.]

[Character Traits: Peak Talent (Black), Late Bloomer (Black), Self-Improvement (Black), Descendant of the Dragon (Purple), Loyal and Righteous (Purple), Loyalty (Purple), Marriage Avoidance (White), Orphaned (Gray)]

"Uncle Li has had a hard life too."

Seeing his uncle's information, Jiang Yan's heart tightened. Being orphaned was not just some protagonist template; his uncle had truly suffered. Fortunately, Grandpa was there...

"No."

But soon, when the old man's information appeared, Jiang Yan had to admit that he had been too hasty—

[Character Information Card: Jiang Luochuan]

[Rank 83 Soul Douluo. Martial Soul: Ironclad Nether Dragon. Branch Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda in Aolai City. Federation Major General. Former commander of the Ironblood Regiment of the Blood God Legion. Settled in Aolai City due to a chronic internal injury...]

[Talent Traits: Fate Holds the Cosmos (Red), Outstanding Talent (Purple), Diligence Makes Up for Deficiency (Purple), Brave and Skilled in Battle (Purple), Victorious in Every Battle (Purple), Love Unattained (White), Love-Struck Fool (Gray)]

"I knew Grandpa came from the front lines, but he never said he was a major general. And..."

"He's even a Blood God soldier?"

Jiang Yan could not help drawing a deep breath. There was no need to mention the weight carried by the Blood God Legion. It was the most authoritative legion of this era, guarding the safety of Douluo Continent and resisting abyssal invasions.

There were countless unsung heroes unknown to the world. He had never expected his own grandfather to be one of them.

Just as Jiang Yan marveled at this, his attention fell on the [Love-Struck Fool] entry among the talent traits, and he truly could not hold it together anymore.

He knew Grandpa had been young once too, but he never expected... the God of Love's authority was still at work.

His gaze swept toward the adorable Na'er beside him, and he could not help rubbing her head. It was not just him saying it—everyone around him was a love-struck fool.

"Big Brother, you look really troubled."

Noticing the change in his expression, Na'er worriedly grabbed his hand, concern appearing in her eyes.

"It's nothing. I just thought of something."

"Big Brother is going to cultivate now. Na'er, why don't you study the lessons in the learning machine first?"

Jiang Yan shook his head. After handing the theory books to Qian Renxue and the other, he looked seriously at the adorable Na'er before him and spoke solemnly.

Even a tiny Silver Dragon King had to study after coming to the human world, okay?

"Okay! I'll listen to Big Brother."

"..."

Na'er studied very diligently. She did not leave under Jiang Yan's watchful gaze until evening fell and it was time to rest, while he paused his cultivation.

But only ten minutes later, a knock sounded softly at the door. When Jiang Yan opened it, it was none other than Na'er, who had returned with a pillow in her arms.

She drew a deep breath, looking a little shy.

"Big Brother, Na'er is afraid of the dark."

"..."

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

East Sea City, before a grand suburban villa.

A bright red soul-powered car stopped there. Jiang Lingli and Jiang Luochuan, the two adults, got out first.

Naturally, Jiang Yan and Na'er followed close behind.

Under Jiang Lingli's arrangements, Jiang Yan and Na'er had moved to the more prosperous East Sea City.

It was worth mentioning that after absorbing the heavenly treasures a few days ago, although Old Master Jiang's potential had not fully recovered, his cultivation had leaped to Rank 85.

Though he had only risen two ranks after cultivating for decades, he at least had a chance of reaching the Titled Douluo realm now. The future was promising.

Jiang Lingli's residence was in the suburbs, a villa of considerable scale that ranked among the finest in all of East Sea.

"Uncle Li's house is really nice."

Arriving at his new home, Jiang Yan could not help sighing as he took in the luxurious and elegant furnishings of the villa. Wouldn't Uncle Li get lonely living alone in such a huge house?

Compared to this, Grandpa truly lived simply.

"How is somewhere this big convenient to live in?"

"I think Aolai City is better."

Jiang Luochuan gave the place a casual glance before losing interest. He snorted as though displeased. If possible, he still preferred staying in the cozy little city of Aolai City, where there was more of a lived-in atmosphere.

"Uncle, a villa this large naturally has people specifically assigned to clean it. You don't need to worry."

"Yan'er, your room and Na'er's room are the first and second rooms on the left. Your grandfather will stay on the right."

"Everyone, go take a look at your rooms first."

Jiang Lingli smiled helplessly at the old man before turning toward Jiang Yan and Na'er, introducing the rooms with a smile.

"Mm!"

Jiang Yan did not refuse. He went upstairs with Na'er to their respective rooms and briefly arranged their belongings.

"Big Brother, are you going to the academy today?"

Not long after, Na'er came to visit Jiang Yan's room and quietly asked.

The first thing he had to do after arriving in East Sea was enroll, but she was still too young and could not register yet.

Once Big Brother went to school, she would be home alone.

"Na'er, not today. I'm leaving in a little while. But you don't have to worry—the school day isn't very long."

"Just wait for me at home."

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head, speaking gently.

Classes on Douluo Continent were not particularly demanding. After all, soul masters valued strength above all else and placed greater emphasis on cultivation.

No matter the academy, there were only classes from eight in the morning until noon each day, or from two in the afternoon until six. In any case, there was plenty of free time.

"Yan'er, we're ready to go."

Jiang Lingli called from outside.

"Okay, Uncle Li, I'm coming."

"Na'er, I'm off."

"..."

Watching Jiang Yan's departing figure, Na'er did nothing. She simply sat obediently on his bed and waited.

Surely...

It wouldn't take too long, right?

"..."

Not long after.

East Sea Academy, Junior Division.

At the Academic Affairs Office, Jiang Yan followed Jiang Lingli inside. The moment they pushed open the door, a burst of party poppers sounded, followed by countless rounds of applause.

"Clap clap clap clap clap—"

"Hm?"

Jiang Yan frowned. Looking around, the first thing that entered his sight was not people, but an unknown number of silk banners.

They were covered in blessings and welcoming messages, each more respectful and sincere than the last. A group of teachers looked at him excitedly.

"Welcome Young Master Jiang Yan to East Sea Academy!"

The teachers spoke in unison. They were not looking at a student at all, but at the future—not merely the future of East Sea Academy, but the future of all East Sea City.

East Sea's future.

Rested entirely on the young master's shoulders!

"This...?"

Jiang Yan looked helplessly at his uncle.

His uncle fell silent as well, because he had even spotted the academy's nearly eighty-year-old headmaster clapping again and again.

"Headmaster, what is this?"

At a loss for words, Jiang Lingli could not help asking.

"Tower Master Jiang, you announced beforehand that our academy was not to make too great a fuss, so only the teachers know about today's matter."

"Since Young Master Jiang has arrived, how could we truly treat him like an ordinary student? A welcoming ceremony is still necessary."

Headmaster Zhen Yu smiled kindly. His aged face turned toward Jiang Yan, and his expression instantly grew fervent.

"..."

Seeing that the headmaster seemed ready to get even more animated, Jiang Yan silently covered his forehead, his toes curling into the floor.

Until...

A hero made his entrance.

At that moment, a slender middle-aged man stepped forward. His easygoing, smiling face was full of respect.

"Young Master Jiang, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cai Kun."

"From now on, I will be your homeroom teacher!"

"..."
