Isn't This Bullying an Honest Man?!

Qin Yu almost lost his composure when Ruo Lin asked him that question; it was really direct.

"Mentor Ruo Lin, you're overthinking it."

"Yeah?"

Ruo Lin sized him up, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Qin Yu and Xiao Yi Xian twice, her face clearly displaying three words:

I don't believe it.

"What I mean is, when I meet someone I like, I just want to get close to them; I really can't control myself."

Qin Yu shrugged, his tone quite nonchalant.

"So all I can do is do what I should and can do, and as for the outcome, I'll just have to accept it."

Instructor Ruo Lin's eyes widened slightly.

She was just joking, but Qin Yu revealed his true colors right away.

Don't most men try to cover this up and deny it to the death?

"You are quite upright."

"It's not that I'm being honest; what's the point of hiding this? Hiding it won't change my nature."

Ruo Lin rolled her eyes at him and shook her head helplessly.

Forget it, she can't interfere in the affairs of young people anyway, and Qin Yu has already made his position clear.

"Okay, then let's not talk about this anymore."

Ruo Lin withdrew her gossipy thoughts and turned her gaze back to the Xiao Yi Xian not far away, lowering her voice to ask:

"Where did you kidnap this Da Dou Shi who's not even eighteen years old?"

"It's a long story."

"Then let's make it short."

Qin Yu pondered for a moment, carefully considering his words.

"To put it simply, her physical condition is rather unique. I can't go into details right now, but I'll discuss it with the vice dean and the others when we get to the academy."

Ruo Lin's brows twitched slightly. Qin Yu was special enough in himself, and anything that he called "special" must be of great importance.

"You mean there might be trouble with her enrolling in school?"

"There's a high chance, which is why I said I'd talk to the vice dean and the others later."

Qin Yu glanced at Ruo Lin as he finished speaking.

"But the registration process can be completed first. You've seen the qualifications; they're absolutely qualified."

Ruo Lin hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll register her first, but once you get to the college, you must explain things clearly as soon as possible, and don't leave me any potential problems."

"That's natural."

The two made their agreement and returned to Xiao Yi Xian's side.

Xiao Yi Xian waited in place for quite a while, her heart churning with anxiety.

Seeing Qin Yu and Ruo Lin whispering for so long, and thinking about her own Woeful Poison Body, she became increasingly uneasy.

This kind of constitution makes someone someone that people would avoid at all costs, no matter where they are.

If Jia Nan Academy finds out, will they reject her outright?

Even worse, what kind of consequences would it have if Qin Yu insisted on taking her with him?

"Student, please come with me and register your basic information."

Ruo Lin waved to Xiao Yi Xian in a kind tone.

Xiao Yi Xian followed Ruo Lin to the registration desk, filling in the information item by item, her hands sweating from gripping the pen so tightly.

After all the formalities were completed, Ruo Lin put away the registration form and patted Xiao Yi Xian on the shoulder.

"Welcome to the Jia Nan Academy, student."

Xiao Yi Xian politely thanked him, but when she turned back to Qin Yu's side, her smile was somewhat forced.

Qin Yu immediately understood what she was thinking. He pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and whispered:

"It's okay, don't overthink it."

"I wasn't just overthinking it."

Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head, her fingers twisting together, her voice growing softer and softer.

"I'm just afraid of causing you trouble."

"If I thought you were a hassle, I wouldn't have brought you along in the first place."

Qin Yu flicked her forehead.

"I'll handle your affairs; I'll solve any problems that arise."

Xiao Yi Xian rubbed her forehead, which had been flicked red, and didn't say anything more, but she tightened her grip on Qin Yu's arm.

The admissions process continued as usual over the next few days.

Qin Yu and Xiao Yi Xian had nothing to worry about; they could cultivate as needed and rest as needed.

To allow Qin Yu to focus on his breakthrough to the Dou Ling realm, Instructor Ruo Lin arranged an extremely comfortable place for the two of them, ensuring they would be undisturbed.

"This year's Inner Academy Selection Tournament is going to be quite a spectacle."

If Qin Yu can advance to the Dou Ling level before returning to the academy, then winning the Inner Academy Selection Tournament will be practically guaranteed.

Because among the students participating in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament this year, only Lin Xiuyan and Liu Qing have reached the strength of Seven-Star Da Dou Shi.

If Qin Yu were still at the Nine-Star, then these two, along with Han Yue and Lin Yan, might still have a chance to defeat him.

but...

Oh well, whatever, I'll just wait to get back and watch the show!

Incidentally, we can also see what attitude Vice Dean Hu Gan will have towards Qin Yu, who has exceeded the task requirements.

A few days later, the admissions process was basically completed, Ruo Lin announced that she would be returning to the Jia Nan Academy.

The group set off, Qin Yu took one last look in the direction of Wutan City.

This city was a starting point for him; although he didn't stay long, a lot happened.

Let's go.

Qin Yu withdrew his gaze and mounted the Griffin Beast.

Xiao Yi Xian sat beside him, hugging her knees and looking down at the ground.

Will we come back?

"Yes."

Hai Bo Dong was still waiting for his Poe Dan; he couldn't just take someone else's things for nothing.

The wind whipped Xiao Yi Xian's hair wildly as she watched quietly as Wutan City shrank little by little in her field of vision, finally disappearing at the horizon.

On the other side, the Xiao Household.

Xiao Yan has accepted his master, purchased all the medicinal herbs, and completed all preparations.

On the same day the recruitment team left Wutan City, Xiao Yan also took his first step on his journey to resume cultivation.

"This alchemy is really expensive."

After Xiao Yan dripped a drop of Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid into the basin of water, he prepared to begin cultivating.

A few days ago, in order to gather the medicinal materials needed by the Yao Lao to refine the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid, he had no choice but to borrow money from Xun'er.

Hopefully, this girl won't notice anything amiss.

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao gave a light snort and leisurely said:

"Hmph, go out and wander around the Jia Ma Empire, and see if you can buy anything with the same amount of gold coins that's as good as the Foundation-Building Spirit Liquid I've refined."

"Alright, alright, the medicine you refine is the best. Pill King Gu He can't compare to you."

Xiao Yan gave a perfunctory reply, and Yao Lao didn't hold it against him.

After all, this kid's experience isn't that advanced yet, so it's normal that he doesn't understand me, and besides...

Pill King Gu He is indeed inferior to him.

It is worth mentioning that in the past few days, Xiao Zhan and the First Elder have been in seclusion, and all the affairs of the entire family have piled up on the Second Elder.

"Chovy, you two old bastards, you've already swallowed the pills, and I'm still left to manage the affairs? Isn't that bullying an honest person?!"

In the Second Elder's room, papers were flying everywhere. In between dealing with affairs, the Second Elder did not forget to take a moment to scold the two of them.

The Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill Wind Spirit Pill belonged to Xiao Zhan, while the Profound Origin Pill, which was helpful for cultivators of Earth-Attribute Battle Qi, naturally went to the Grand Elder.

None of the three pills that Yun Yun gave him were suitable for the Second Elder.

The world was only achieved when the Second Elder was injured.
