Making Things Difficult? Please Offer Your Face Voluntarily!

After catching up, Xue Ni's gaze fell on Lei Luo, who stood apart from the crowd.

"Heavens, Yu'er, fine, you hid one beauty in a golden house—but why did you hide two?"

"You actually don't know how to share? You want to keep both handsome boys all to yourself?"

With Lei Luo present, Xiao Yu could no longer keep her composure.

Her pretty face flushed crimson, and she did not even dare meet Lei Luo's eyes.

"Handsome boy, my name is Xue Ni. What should I call you?"

Looking at the lovely girl before him, Lei Luo gave a warm smile. "Miter Lei Luo. Just call me Lei Luo."

Hearing that, Xue Ni raised a jade finger to her lips. "You look a little younger than me, so I'll call you Little Brother Lei Luo!"

"But Miter Lei Luo... isn't that the surname of the Miter Family from the Imperial Capital?"

As Xue Ni brought it up, Xiao Yu and the others all turned to look at Lei Luo.

After all, although they knew his name, they knew very little about Lei Luo's identity.

Lei Luo had nothing to hide. Calm and composed, he told them, "Mittel Tengshan is my father."

"Wow! Doesn't that make Little Brother Lei Luo the young clan leader of the Miter Family?" Xue Ni gasped softly.

Then she wrapped an arm around Xiao Yu and teased her, half-jokingly, "Not bad, Yu'er. Have you already picked out your future husband?"

Listening to Xue Ni's unrestrained words, Xiao Yu's pretty face had turned as red as an apple, practically ripe enough to drip.

Embarrassed and annoyed, Xiao Yu shoved Xue Ni away and muttered, "Don't talk nonsense. Young Master Lei Luo and I merely met by chance..."

Xue Ni clearly did not believe her. "You don't want such a young, wealthy, handsome boy? Then I'll make my move."

Xiao Yu became even more embarrassed.

After bickering for a while, Xue Ni seemed to remember something and turned to Xiao Yu.

"I forgot to tell you. Luo Bu is also part of this recruitment team, and I heard he's already advanced to a Four-Star Dou Practitioner."

Xiao Yu's expression darkened at once, and she said with some disgust, "Why is that annoying guy here too?"

"Isn't it all because of our great beauty Xiao Yu? Someone has been thinking about you day and night all along the way!"

Xue Ni teased mockingly.

Grinding her silver teeth, Xiao Yu shifted her gaze to Xiao Yan.

"Don't look at me. Don't even think about pretending we have any kind of relationship. I'm not interested in you, and I don't want to pretend!" Xiao Yan said disdainfully.

Even Xue Ni was stunned. "Well... Yu'er, has your charm stopped working?"

"Then, Little Brother Lei Luo, you..."

As she spoke, Xiao Yu seemed somewhat tempted as well, looking shyly at Lei Luo.

Under Xiao Yu's burning gaze, Lei Luo secretly thought, There's actually such a good deal?

Then he looked toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan also seemed to realize something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, Lei Luo cut him off first. "It's only a small favor."

Xiao Yan's expression immediately became even uglier.

It seemed he had somehow been doubled?

Lei Luo walked toward the tents while surveying the crowd around him.

In the shade near the tents stood more than a dozen young men.

They were gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, under the blazing sun, more than twenty youths stood with restrained expressions, drenched in sweat from the scorching heat and looking rather miserable.

Beside the tents was a group of young girls. The moment they saw Xiao Yu, they swarmed around her and began chattering away.

They even kept taking advantage of the situation, groping and feeling her up.

Amid the playful commotion, Xiao Yu happened to meet Lei Luo's gaze and shyly turned her head away.

At that moment, a man rose from the ground and strode over.

Xue Ni beside them clearly noticed as well. She poked Xiao Yu's slender waist and glanced at the approaching man.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu lightly bit her red lips, then stepped before Lei Luo and affectionately wrapped herself around his arm as she told everyone,

"Let me introduce him. This is my fiancé, Miter Lei Luo..."

The approaching man happened to hear her voice, neither loud nor soft, and his expression instantly froze.

"Xiao Yu, you..."

"Long time no see."

The man's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the dead silence.

Clearly, not only this man—everyone present had been deeply shocked by Xiao Yu's words.

Even her own younger brother, Xiao Ning, had not quite figured it out and stood there blankly.

With a shy face, Xiao Yu held Lei Luo's arm, turned around, and calmly replied, "Long time no see, Luo Bu."

"Hehe." Luo Bu nodded with a smile.

His gaze swept over their entwined arms, his eyes filled with fury and icy chill.

"I never heard that you had a fiancé before. How did you go home for one trip and then..."

Before Luo Bu could finish, Lei Luo interrupted him.

He domineeringly wrapped an arm around Xiao Yu's slender waist and deliberately played with it as he smiled at Luo Bu.

"This classmate, I don't believe Yu'er and I need to report our marriage arrangements to you, do we?"

"Hehe, of course not." Luo Bu's expression darkened as he replied sullenly.

Looking at Lei Luo's large hand on Xiao Yu's waist, Luo Bu felt the rage in his heart burning, already nearing the point of losing control.

"Are these people also here for the test?" Luo Bu asked, looking toward Xiao Yan and the others.

"Mm."

Xiao Yu nodded casually.

"Then that's perfect. Instructor Ruo Lin just gave me a testing crystal. Let them take the test first, so they won't have to wait any longer."

As he spoke, Luo Bu raised the spherical crystal in his hand.

A trace of hesitation flashed across Xiao Yu's face, but she still said to Xun'er and the others,

"Xun'er, go give it a try first. This is a testing crystal. As long as your strength reaches Eight-Stage Dou Qi, it will light up. It's very easy."

Gu Xun'er, Xiao Yan, and the others nodded and stepped forward, stopping before the crystal ball.

Their palms rested on the crystal ball for a moment. Once it lit up, they withdrew.

After they finished testing, Lei Luo gently whispered into Xiao Yu's ear, "Let go."

"Mm." Xiao Yu nodded obediently.

Seeing Xiao Yu act so obediently before Lei Luo, Luo Bu gripped the crystal ball so tightly that his knuckles nearly turned white.

After Xiao Yu released him, Lei Luo also removed the hand resting on her waist.

He stepped forward, placing his palm on the crystal ball.

After the same faint glow appeared, he returned to Xiao Yu's side.

"Congratulations to everyone for passing the preliminary test. Next, please wait under the sun for half an hour."

Luo Bu spoke coldly with a dark expression.

"Luo Bu, they are people I brought here. How dare you stop them?" Xiao Yu angrily snapped.

Seeing Xiao Yu react this way, Luo Bu's expression grew even colder.

"Xiao Yu, those are the rules!"

"Rules, my ass! We're all old students. You think you can fool me with this nonsense?" Xiao Yu's voice rose higher and higher, clearly having no intention of giving Luo Bu any face.

"I said, those are the rules!"

Luo Bu suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke in a low voice, clearly unwilling to let them enter.

Just then, a lazy yet domineering voice rang out.

"Rules? On the territory of my Jia Ma Empire, I am the rules!"
