Was It You Who Bullied Luo'er?

The outer edge of the forest.

Lin Luo sat beside a giant beast with his eyes closed, and a Yellow Soul Ring floating on the beast's body slowly spread toward him.

Having confirmed that the rewards for the special mission were related to Soul Ring, Lin Luo lost his obsession with acquiring Soul Ring, since he might have to undergo a system "refresh" anyway.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, on the other hand, took it very seriously, dragging Lin Luo around most of the forest in search of Soul Beast, and were even quite dissatisfied with Lin Luo's indifferent attitude.

The two Soul Beast hunted today were chosen after a rigorous selection process.

While Lin Luo was absorbing the Soul Ring, Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong, only to find that the other party had given her a disdainful look.

Because of the conflict that arose when they arrived, they argued about it when choosing their Soul Beast.

One of them, relying on her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, claimed that her choice was the only one suitable for the Angel Martial Soul.

Another person, relying on their high Soul Power Level and ample experience, believed that the Soul Beast they had chosen was the one most suitable for Lin Luo.

Ultimately, Qian Renxue chose the Soul Beast that would provide the First Soul Ring, while Bibi Dong chose the Soul Beast that would provide the Second Soul Ring. This was Lin Luo's suggestion; otherwise, who knows how long the two of them would have argued.

She Long and the Pufferfish huddled to one side like grandsons, not daring to utter a single word.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue decided to explain to her mother, "Luo'er is often bullied at the academy, and it breaks my heart, so I don't want him to come home tonight and not see me."

Bibi Dong was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Bullyed? But I've asked Ling Yuan many times, and she didn't say that Luo'er had ever been bullied at school."

Qian Renxue blinked her beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected Elder Ling Yuan to be sent to the academy. In that case, her son really shouldn't be bullied.

As if she had thought of something, Qian Renxue immediately said, "But these past few days, he has had many abrasions and bruises on his body, in various locations. I know he knows healing arts, so I examined him very carefully."

This time it was Bibi Dong's turn to be surprised. "He knows healing magic?"

"... That's not the point. Didn't Elder Ling Yuan say where Luo'er's injuries came from?"

Qian Renxue stared intently at Bibi Dong.

The latter's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her pretty face contorted with anger, and her Soul Power overflowed, shaking the surroundings. "This Ling Yuan..."

Lin Luo was absorbing Soul Ring and couldn't speak, but he could hear their conversation.

The injuries on his body were all caused by Qin Hanyu pestering him to compete in sword fighting (crossed out)... After all, his opponent was Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, and since Lin Luo hadn't specifically strengthened his own defenses, he inevitably had some superficial wounds.

But he clearly remembered that Qian Renxue hadn't examined his body.

etc.

Could it be that they secretly took off my clothes to check me after I fell asleep?!

Lin Luo was so angry that she turned into a steamed bun.

Having grown up, I felt a strange sense of shame and annoyance.

But this is alright. There's an awkward situation where your parents discover you're doing a slow-motion move with your left and right hands, and that's really a disaster. Luckily, Lin Luo doesn't have that kind of fetish yet.

However, if the system designates this behavior as a task for teenagers, Lin Luo will definitely uninstall the system.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue and said, "I will question Ling Yuan thoroughly."

The latter nodded slightly, thought for a moment, then stepped forward and took her mother's hand, saying softly, "If you really miss Luo'er, you can come to the palace."

"I think... it's not necessary. It's too ostentatious. When Luo'er is older, you should let him spend more time with me. Don't let him grow up and have no affection for his grandmother anymore."

"Okay!" Qian Renxue readily agreed.

Lin Luo was very pleased that the mother and daughter had reconciled.

Gradually, the Soul Ring was absorbed. Just as Lin Luo was about to get up, Bibi Dong suddenly looked up in one direction.

"Someone else is coming from nearby," she said casually, then gestured for Qian Renxue to take Lin Luo's hand, preparing to leave.

At that moment, Qian Renxue and Lin Luo were both startled, because they heard a familiar voice calling out.

"Awoo awoo--"

It sounded like a dog's bark, only clearer and crisper. The sound grew louder as it approached, and the mother and child gradually turned their gaze in one direction.

"Xiao Hong?"

However, what they saw first from that direction was five people slowly walking towards them.

The Education Commission and the prince and his sister... Lin Luo was stunned, not understanding why they were here.

However, after taking a few steps, he saw a little fox running happily towards them from behind the five people.

It really is Xiao Hong! Lin Luo and Qian Renxue were overjoyed at the same time.

Bibi Dong then took out a veil and put it on. She knew that the little fox was the pet of Qian Renxue and her son, but she didn't want the five people approaching her to see her face.

You should catch up as soon as possible.

"Good!"

Qian Renxue also took out a veiled hat and put it on.

"Lin Luo?"

After the five people recognized the child in front of them, they all exclaimed in surprise.

Okay, now we can confirm that Lin Luo also Innate Full Soul Power; otherwise, he wouldn't be here hunting for Soul Ring.

Upon realizing this, the three education committee members' eyes lit up; in fact, this was something they had expected.

However, they immediately heard a noise behind them. The five turned around and saw that it was a Soul Beast running towards them. Meng Shenji was about to use his Soul Skill when Lin Luo quickly shouted, "Stop! She means no harm!"

Meng Shenji withdrew his hand, and sure enough, the pink little fox swiftly swept past the five of them, heading towards Lin Luo and the woman wearing a veiled hat.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

Xiao Hong was extremely excited, spinning wildly in front of Lin Luo, then sticking out her tongue to lick Lin Luo's cheek.

Even after Qian Renxue squatted down, she couldn't escape a barrage of spittle.

Apart from Lin Luo, the remaining four people present caught the attention of the Education Committee.

The two guards, whom I often saw at the academy gate, were the crown prince's personal guards, but who were these two mysterious women wearing veils...?

Although their faces were obscured, their stunning beauty was evident from their figures alone. Their form-fitting clothes revealed near-perfect physiques... Could she be the Crown Princess? The Crown Prince may be quite old, but there's no word of him having a wife.

Just as Meng Shenji was about to focus his gaze on the woman in the purple outfit, he suddenly felt a chill sweep over his entire body... Hiss, her cultivation level is in no way weaker than mine!

"Hey, Lin Luo, how did you come to know a Soul Beast?"

Xue Qian crossed his arms and asked Lin Luo. This time, with the Education Commissioner behind him, he spoke with his usual arrogant attitude.

Lin Luo did not respond, but Qian Renxue raised her eyes and glanced at the other person through the veil. She recognized the three people from the Education Committee and naturally guessed the identities of the two children.

"Is it you who bullied Luo'er?" Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly, her fists cracking.

Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong. Turning her head, she found a stunningly beautiful girl with silver hair and purple eyes squatting beside her, stroking Xiao Hong's fur together with her.

What's going on?!

Qian Renxue was so startled that she fell to the ground.
