Nangong Yu: Who Wants to See What Our Dao-Seeking Academy Can Do?

"My lady... Yulin."

Wang Baole looked at the woman in the crowd who was wearing a gorgeous dress, had a pretty face, and possessed a unique charm, and blurted out the name without thinking.

It was his calling her "wife" that immediately silenced the surroundings.

The three people, including Nangong Yu, who were about to speak, froze in place. Xiong Kui and Zhang Heng unconsciously looked at the top of Nangong Yu's head, and for some reason they found the jade hairpin on Nangong Yu's hair particularly eye-catching.

Upon hearing this long-unheard address, Wang Yulin instantly flew into a rage, her face flushed red, and she angrily retorted, "Wang Baole, how many times have I told you? I am not your wife. That was just a marriage agreement made by our ancestor. You are not allowed to call me by my name."

Remember your place, you are nothing more than a child... adopted by the Wang Clan!

"I..."

Wang Baole wanted to explain something, but ultimately chose to remain silent, which had been their way of getting along over the years.

He always indulged Wang Yulin, and Wang Yulin took it all for granted.

In addition, Wang Baole has been living under someone else's roof for many years, so when he faces Wang Yulin, he unconsciously feels inferior.

"What do you mean, 'you'? It's only been a few years, and I didn't expect you to have learned to steal other people's things."

Seeing Wang Baole's timid and submissive demeanor, Wang Yulin suddenly felt a strange sense of superiority.

Wang Baole quickly explained, "I didn't steal anything. We were the ones who killed this tiger demon."

"Snort!"

Wang Yulin snorted coldly, "Wang Baole, you're getting bolder and bolder. Not only do you dare to steal, but you've also learned to talk back. With your pathetic skills, you dare to say you can kill this tiger demon?"

She wasn't high-ranking among her peers to begin with, and now that she had a chance to show off, she naturally wanted to flaunt her power. Wang Baole was the target of her arrogance.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, her companion's gaze towards Wang Baole also turned contemptuous.

The leading man, with his noble and arrogant air and handsome features, looked down at Wang Baole with an air of superiority.

"Young man, I am Sima Rui of the Luo River Aristocratic Family. For the sake of your acquaintance with Yulin, you should leave now. This is not a place for you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a majestic voice echoed from the jungle opposite.

"The Dragon-Suppressing Aristocratic Family has quite the arrogance. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Great Void Mountain Range were the territory of a mere Half-Saint family!"

Everyone present changed their expressions upon hearing this, and Sima Rui's face turned ashen. The words from that person in the shadows were undoubtedly a slap in the face to him.

He said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, you have quite the airs. If you're so capable, come out and let me see your skills. How are you any different from a rat hiding like this?"

"Are you sure you really want to see what we're capable of?"

As the voice rang out, Nangong Yu, Zhang Heng, Xiong Kui appeared simultaneously beside Wang Baole, their True Fate Realm aura emanating from them.

Nangong Yu exuded an air of nobility, and every gesture he made radiated the imposing aura of a superior.

Although Zhang Heng and Xiong Kui came from humble backgrounds, they had cultivated at the Dao-Seeking Academy for many years, and they naturally felt superior to these disciples from non-sacred lands.

Sima Rui narrowed his eyes instinctively when he saw the three people in front of him. He was the strongest in the group, but he was only at the True Fate Realm.

But the other side suddenly fielded three True Fate Realm. If a real fight broke out, their group wouldn't gain any advantage whatsoever.

Those around him, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the three, instinctively kept their distance from Wang Yulin.

He gritted his teeth. "Sir, this is an internal matter of the Wang Clan. Are you going to interfere?"

"Hehe."

Nangong Yu chuckled, "What are the Wang Clan? Do they dare to humiliate disciples of my Dao-Seeking Academy? Or is your Luo River Aristocratic Family also trying to get involved?"

"If that's the case, I, Nangong Yu, wouldn't mind showing you the sword in my hand!"

As she spoke, Nangong Yu slowly drew her sword a foot from the ground, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.

Having come from the palace, she knew from the conversation between Wang Baole and that woman that the young master Wang and the Wang Clan were not on good terms, and that the woman and the young master Wang had no feelings for each other at all. If she didn't try to win his favor now, when would she?

"Dao-Seeking Academy!"

"Nangong Yu!"

A gasp of surprise rippled through Sima Rui's group, their gazes filled with awe as they looked at Wang Baole and his companions. Most of them were vassals of the Luo River Aristocratic Family; how could they dare to provoke the behemoth that was the Dao-Seeking Academy?

"Are you that prodigy from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty?"

Sima Rui looked at Nangong Yu with a look of horror and subconsciously took half a step back.

"I know, now get lost. Do you want to snatch your prey from us?" Nangong Yu said coldly.

"We're leaving now, we're leaving now."

Sima Rui dared not linger there any longer and quickly turned to leave.

Wang Yulin was stunned when she saw this scene. If the woman she was with hadn't pulled her back, she would have forgotten to run away.

After a long while, Sima Rui and his group finally stopped, panting heavily.

Huff... Huff...

All eyes turned to Wang Yulin, some scrutinizing, some dissatisfied, and even a little angry.

Wang Yulin felt very uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and her frustration and grievances instantly erupted.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Wang Baole was just a servant in my Wang Clan. If it weren't for the fact that my Wang Clan gave him food, he would have starved to death long ago. I don't know what got into my ancestor that he would betroth him to me. Tell me, would any of you be willing to marry a servant in your family?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, knowing they could never marry someone who was dependent on others.

Immediately, someone stepped forward and said, "But Wang Baole is quite lucky; he actually managed to get into the Dao-Seeking Academy."

Sima Yan, standing next to Wang Yulin, immediately said sarcastically, "In my opinion, he's climbed up the social ladder by marrying into Nangong Yu's family. Otherwise, how could he possibly pass the entrance exam for the Dao-Seeking Academy, given his status in the Wang Clan?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed envy and disdain. Dao-Seeking Academy a sacred place of cultivation in our minds?"

After hearing this, Sima Rui felt less upset and said, "Miss Wang, don't be sad. He's just a heartless man who only knows how to rely on women. With your talent, someone like Wang Baole who only knows how to take shortcuts will never catch up to you in his entire life."

Hearing these words of comfort, Wang Yulin gritted her teeth and muttered, "After I finish my studies and return, I will beg the Ancestor to dissolve this engagement!"

On the other side, Wang Baole was still somewhat unhappy after what had just happened. He had previously thought that Yulin disliked him because he was incompetent.

But now that he has become an inner disciple of the Dao-Seeking Academy, why does she still look down on him?

After processing and eating the Black Tiger meat, everyone returned to the camp.

As soon as Wang Baole returned to the camp, he ran into Chu Feng, who had just come back from drinking.

"Disciple greets Master."

Chu Feng subconsciously looked at Wang Baole, noticing a hint of frustration in his expression, and asked instinctively:

"What happened to Little Fatty? He went out for a bit and now he looks so sad. Did he have a fight with Miss Nangong?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen and the others all cast gossipy glances at Wang Baole.

Wang Baole shook his head. "No, I ran into my wife."

"Oh?"

Chu Feng, feeling the effects of the alcohol, suddenly became interested. "Tell me more about it in detail."

Wang Baole didn't hide anything from his master, senior brothers, and senior sisters, and told them everything that had happened that day.

After hearing this, Chu Feng smiled and patted Wang Baole on the shoulder, "Little Fatty, this is a good thing. You can build up your luck buff every time you go out."

Upon hearing the word "luck, "Wang Baole's expression instantly turned into a question mark.

Xiao Chen and the others also looked on with curiosity, while Cao Youqian exaggeratedly appeared to be feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Master, please continue! I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't understand the word 'luck' clearly. It's like thousands of ants are crawling all over my body."
