Ye Luo didn’t hesitate and walked straight in, but at that moment, there were two beauties in the room, one older and one younger. The older one was without a doubt You Ji, who would be Ye Luo’s tutor at the Royal Academy for the foreseeable future.

As for the other one, Ye Luo didn’t pay too much attention.

"You are Ye Luo?"

You Ji sized up Ye Luo and asked with some doubt.

"Yes, I am indeed Ye Luo, Disciple," he replied.

Indeed, You Ji had received the message. It seemed that the Border Guard really made use of many privileges for this task.

"Hmm, excellent aptitude, special Bloodline, indeed a promising seedling. Emperor brother told me to take good care of you, and Li Long brother also greeted me, asking me to teach you well. I am somewhat curious, what is so special about you that His Majesty would adopt you as his godson and even Li Long brother holds you in such high esteem!"

Godson, high esteem?

Ye Luo sneered inwardly, this was nothing more than a tactic to control him, to have him serve their interests.

Let’s not put it so nicely. If Ye Luo had no value to them, he would probably have been killed by Li Long without hesitation during the assessment!

Even now, should he perform poorly, it is possible that he could be eliminated. After all, he is not the only one chosen to replace the Demon Clan Prince!

Although from the current performance in various aspects, they seem to be focusing on cultivating Ye Luo, this does not mean that he is their only candidate.

Ye Luo remained silent, not saying a word.

However, You Ji continued, "Alright, I don’t care what is special about you. If you want to become my Disciple, then you must have real skills. This is Princess Ling Xue. She will assess your abilities in the upcoming test. If you pass, then you can address her as Senpai. If you fail, then no matter how special you are, I, Princess, will not accompany you!"

"Yes, Disciple understands!"

Ye Luo shifted his gaze towards Princess Ling Xue, only to find that although she was veiled, the way she looked at him was rather peculiar!

Yes, peculiar!

Ye Luo did not know what this look meant, but obviously, Princess Ling Xue seemed to have a different kind of sentiment towards Ye Luo.

However, it seems that Ye Luo absolutely does not recognize Princess Ling Xue, so why would she look at him in this way?

Ye Luo did not understand and it was not appropriate for him to ask; he could only silently accept it.

What Ye Luo did not know was that Li Long, in order to ensure that Ye Luo could complete the task smoothly, even arranged a marriage for him.

It was none other than Princess Ling Xue, whose father is the Xiaoyao King!

The Xiaoyao King holds a unique position in the Great Tang Empire. Although this Prince does not get involved in affairs much, he is the most trusted brother of the Emperor of Great Tang, without equal!

It can be said that almost the entire nation’s logistics is under Xiaoyao King’s control, and he also holds a large number of special talents in his hands!

Li Long also has a very good relationship with the Xiaoyao King, having once saved the Xiaoyao King’s life.

Li Long initially mentioned this to the Xiaoyao King, only suggesting that if Ye Luo truly is going to carry out a mission and passes all the tests, then an alliance through marriage would take place. However, Xiaoyao King only has Princess Ling Xue as a daughter, and he dotes on her immensely, so he has now conveyed the news to Princess Ling Xue!

Xiaoyao King has great trust in Li Long; in his eyes, Li Long has never misjudged a person. Since Li Long believes Ye Luo can do it, then Ye Luo must certainly be able to!

The open-minded Xiaoyao King does not concern himself with matching social status like other princes do. Moreover, Ye Luo is now the recognized adopted son of the Emperor of Great Tang and has even been entered into the Royal Family’s genealogical records.

Therefore, Xiaoyao King readily approved this matrimonial match.

Of course, the main reason is that Princess Ling Xue hardly takes any man seriously. In Xiaoyao King’s heart, as long as Princess Ling Xue could be married off, he would be satisfied...

Princess Ling Xue looked at Ye Luo and suddenly her gaze sharpened: "So, you are Ye Luo. Very well, if you want to become an instructor, you must first pass my test!"

"I’ve heard you have formidable talent. I will not take advantage of you with my higher realm. Here, I have a special formation, the Technological Mechanism Great Array. If you can break through it, you pass. How about it, do you dare to try?"

A Technological Mechanism Great Array?

It seems that this is yet another special formation. But what is there for Ye Luo to fear?

Besides, does Ye Luo have a choice?

Ye Luo replied with a slight smile, stating simply: "Please."

That single word represented everything.

"Good, now go and take on the challenge!"

Following Princess Ling Xue’s words, a set of Array Flags was thrown out, but they only set up a Transmission Array!

Clearly, the so-called Technological Mechanism Great Array was not located here.

Without even half a moment’s hesitation, Ye Luo walked towards the Transmission Array.

Only after Ye Luo had disappeared did You Ji turn to Ling Xue and say, "You’re being a bit harsh on him. I’m aware of your Technological Mechanism Great Array. It’s a Mechanism City you created using various treasures bestowed by your father. Not to mention Ye Luo’s mere Qi Cyclone Realm cultivation, even you might not have complete confidence in breaking through it!"

"Aunt, do you really think he only possesses the cultivation of the Qi Cyclone Realm?"

Ling Xue is a Commandery Princess, and You Ji is a Princess, both from the Royal Family and somewhat related, so it isn’t strange. However, You Ji’s brows furrowed slightly at Ling Xue’s question.

You Ji knew that Ling Xue had a pair of special eyes and practiced a unique Cultivation Technique, which allowed her to easily discern a person’s cultivation realm. Ling Xue’s eyes also possessed the ability to see through things, albeit differently from Ye Luo’s vision.

Ye Luo could see through everything, but Ling Xue could only see through one’s cultivation realm!

"What do you mean? Could it be that Ye Luo has hidden his true cultivation?"

You Ji was taken aback. She had just observed Ye Luo, and indeed confirmed that he was at the Qi Cyclone Realm. However, she had great trust in her niece and now even You Ji felt uncertain.

"Aunt, you say he is at the Qi Cyclone Realm, which is not wrong, but it could also be considered incorrect!"

"This fellow practices a very unusual Cultivation Technique, and although his body contains only one large Qi Cyclone, he also possesses dozens of smaller Qi Cyclones. I must say, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation. Despite my extensive study of ancient texts, this is my first time seeing such a peculiar method of cultivation!"

"Hehe, no need to get hung up on this. There are many unusual methods of cultivation in this vast world. It seems that Ye Luo really is somewhat special. Alright, let’s watch how he fares in the trial!"
