Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief and apologized, "Sorry, I had no idea there was su arra."

  Xiao Mei said with a shiver of fear, "That scared me to death! Thank goodness Xiao Yan ge was here."

  Xiao Ning vigorously nodded in agreement. Despite his cultivation being higher than Xiao Mei's, already at the 1-star Dou Practitioage, he had almost colpsed just now. He would have been utterly embarrassed if not for Xiao Yan.

  Xiao Yan said in an indifferent manner, "I recall someone just now fidently patting her chest and telling us to follow her. Who was that again?"

  Xiao Yu's eyes seemed to want to devour someone as she gred at him. Without a word i, she snorted coldly and swiftly walked toward an opeent.

  "Yu Er! Let this young dy check if you've gotten any fatter!"

  Xiao Yu had just approached the rge gree when a fsh of red swiftly pouoward her. A woman's ughter immediately reached the ears of Xiao Yan and the others.

  The woman in red giggled as she ed her arms around Xiao Yu. Her hands were like nimble snakes as they roamed around Xiao Yu's willowy waist and even attempted to slide up her skirt alohighs.

  "You lewd girl. Get off me." Xiao Yu hastily covered her skirt and grabbed the unruly jade-like hand as she pushed the woman away from her.

  After a pyful scuffle with the woman in red, Xiao Yu turned around and introduced her to Xiao Yan and the others, "This is my good sister from Jia Nan Academy. She's called Xue Ni. Her cultivation is even higher than mine, already a 4-star Dou Practitioner."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan finally turned his gaze to the woman ianding in front of him. Xue Ni's pretty face was adorned with a radiant smile, her long chestnut-colored hair casually tied into a ponytail. Although her appearance was slightly inferior to Xiao Yu's, her body was so voluptuously explosive that it could be pared to a nuclear bomb.

  The pressure geed when she hugged Xiao Yu was enough to make one worry about the durability of her clothes.

  Her fiery and devilish figure was very alluring to men. Many of the young men who had passed the test couldn't help but let their eyes sweep over the unduting waves of her bosom in a discreet manner.

  "Let me introduce you. This is Xuhe great beauty of our . This is Xiao Mei, the you cutie around here. Xiao Ning, my brother who is now a Dou Practitioner. And this one is Xiao Yan."

  Xue Ni's face lit up with curiosity upon hearing Xiao Yan's name. "So you're Xiao Yan. You're quite handsome, not at all like how Xiao Yu described you."

  "Oh?" Xiao Yan uttered as she looked at the flustered Xiao Yu nearby.

  Xiao Yu quickly covered Xue Ni's mouth and said, "I haven't been badmouthing you everywhere. She just overheard me talking in my sleep once."

  Xiao Yan smirked and teased, "You dream about me? What did you dream about? Surely not..."

  Xiao Yu's pretty face turned red, and her long legs instinctively kicked toward Xiao Yan's crotch. However, the result was the same as before. Xiao Yan easily caught her ah one hand.

  "What, want to do it again?"

  Xiao Yu immediately became panicked, her voice tinged with a hint of pleading, "No, not here, this isn't the ..."

  Xiao Yan lightly pinched her calf with his other hand, chuckled, and the go of her leg.

  Xue Ni teased, "Oh my, a man actually touched Yu Er's beautiful leg. If the male students at the academy found out, wouldn't they cry in envy?"

  "Stop fooling around. We still them to take the test." Xiao Yu pushed away her mischievous best friend, ughing as she scolded.

  When the versation turned serious, Xue Ni immediately stopped ughing and led Xiao Yan and the others toward the rge tent. After a moment's thought, she whispered to Xiao Yu, "By the way, that guy Luo Bu is part of this year's recruitment team, and he's also in charge. I've heard he's advao a 4-star Dou Practitioner."

  Xiao Yu's smiling face immediately darkened. A hint of impatieinged her voice as she said, "Why did that irritating guy have to e too?"

  "Isn't it just to see our beauty Xiao Yu in front of us?" Xue Ni teased. "Beauty often brings trouble."

  Soon after, some of Xiao Yu's female friends from the academy arrived. She was clearly quite popur at Jia Nan Academy.

  Just as Xiao Yu was about to shake off her friends to introduce Xiao Yan and the others to her instructor, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a male figure hurrying toward them from the er of her eye.

  Her pretty face subtly ged. After thinking of something, a hint of a shy blush appeared on her cheeks. She walked up to Xiao Yan and said, "Look at you, rushing out of the house without even b to tidy up your clothes. We're about to meet my teacher, who is like a mother to me. You 't be this rude."

  Xiao Yu extended her pair of delicate jade-like hands and proceeded thten his clothes in front of the group's astonished eyes, much like a wife fussing over her husband's attire before he headed off to work.

  "Uh..." Xiao Yu's group of female friends were all taken aback, looking at each other in bewilderment at her never-before-seen shy demeanor. Her tone and as resembled those of childhood sweethearts!

  Even Xun Er and the others were equally stunned by Xiao Yu's affeate mahey exged gnces full of fusion. Since when had the retionship between Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan bee so close?

  "Xiao Yu! You!... Long time no see," a man called out as he appeared behind Xiao Yu just as Xiao Yan was feeling utterly baffled.

  Upon hearing the man's voice, Xiao Yu ed her arms around Xiao Yan's arm and greeted with a smile, "Long time no see, Luo Bu."

  Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Xiao Yu was actually using him as a shield!

  He g Luo Bu. Although the man wore a smile, there was a subtle fsh of ess and anger in his eyes as he looked at him.

  Leaning closer to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan whispered, "You're using me as a shield?"

  Xiao Yu whispered back, "You said you would protect me."

  Too zy to ent owisting his words, Xiao Yan directly spped her perky butt.

  "There's a price for that."

  !!!!!

  Xiao Yu leaped away like a frightened rabbit, g her fists and gring at Xiao Yan with a mix of embarrassment and ahis man was being more and more excessive!

  "Let's not waste more time. Let's go in and find the instructor," Xiao Yan said straightforwardly.

  Luo Bu's gaze turned icy when he saw Xiao Yan's a. He stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Yan and poi the udents sitting uhe scorg sun, "Sorry, the instructor is busy right now. Please wait outside for half an hour."

  "Luo Bu, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Yu demanded coldly with a frosty face.

  "Hehe, the temperament of the udents is getting more and more impetuous these days. It is for their own good to tone down their sharpness a bit, to help them in their future life at the academy. This is the ear iion of a senior student," Luo Bu said with a hypocritical smile.

  "You're talking nonsense! I might not care about others, but you dare to mess with my members!" Xiao Yu's pretty face was icy cold, not buying into his act at all.

  The members of the Xiao were very protective of each other.

  "Sihe instructor put me in charge of the recruitment, my rules are the rules!" Luo Bu's mouth twitched. Xiao Yu's refusal to give him a fa front of everyone also fueled the anger and jealousy in his heart.

  "You!" Xiao Yu stood in front of Xiao Yan and said, "Don't bother with him. We're going to find the instructht now."

  "Oh, Brother Luo Bu, seems like there's some trouble here?" Amidst the ongoing dispute, a group of men emerged from the tent's shadows, all wearing broad grins on their faces.

  All these men had golden stars pio their chests.

  "It's nothing. It's just that this udent doesn't want to go out and enjoy the sun," Luo Bu said with a casual ugh, his words dripping with innuendo that everyone picked up on.

  The group of men exged smiles and their gazes towards Xiao Yan turned unfriendly, "Doesn't want to, huh? Those who don't know how to respect their seniors have nht to ehe academy. You'd better scram."

  Xiao Yu was almost at her boiling point. She took a step forward and coldly said, "I'm going in right now. Try to stop me!"

  Just as Xiao Yu was about to force her way through, Xiao Yan grabbed her arm aly but firmly pulled her beside Xun Er. In a anding tohat brooked nument, he said, "Be obedient."

  Xiao Yu immediately gave a slight nod like a little wife and fell into silence.

  Fag Luo Bu and his group of more than a dozen alone, Xiao Yan's eyes showed her joy nor sorrow. He hooked his finger and said, "Let me see how you seniors teach the udents."

  Xiao Yu's friends were shocked to see Xiao Yan ready to take on more than a dozen oppos by himself. Xue Ni said, "Xiao Yu, quickly stop him! I'm afraid Luo Bu's strength is probably strohan mine now, and the rest are all 1-star to 3-star Dou Practitioners! How he defeat so many people!"

  Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan's figure a a sense of relief wash over her. With the air of watg a show, she said, "How miserable Luo Bu and the others will be today depends on how well that guy slept st night."

  "If he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, not even the instructor will be able to do much."
