Princess Ling Xue hesitated to speak and glanced at You Ji. She actually didn’t want to accept the assignment, but seeing You Ji’s adamant attitude, she knew there was no room for negotiation!

"Fine, I got it!"

Princess Ling Xue said with some discontent.

But You Ji pretended not to notice.

Instead, she said to Ye Luo: "Alright, next, let Princess Ling Xue accompany you to learn about the academy. No matter what happens, you can find Princess Ling Xue. She is your senior sister and has the obligation to help you!"

You Ji’s face bore a smile, but what she was really thinking, perhaps only she herself knew.

Ye Luo frowned slightly, thinking in his heart, letting this crazy woman Princess Ling Xue take care of himself?

It’s still uncertain who will end up taking care of whom!

If something goes wrong, it’s more than likely that Ye Luo will be bullied by Princess Ling Xue again.

However, Ye Luo naturally wouldn’t reject You Ji’s arrangement and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you two can go now. I’ve been recently concocting a new kind of elixirs. Unless it’s something urgent, you two shouldn’t come to disturb me without good reason!"

You Ji waved her hand, directly sending Ye Luo and Princess Ling Xue away.

Princess Ling Xue and Ye Luo walked side by side towards the outside, neither paying any attention to the other.

In fact, with Ye Luo’s temperament, he wouldn’t usually bother arguing with women.

But this time, Princess Ling Xue had done something truly excessive.

Although Ye Luo didn’t say it, and didn’t show it at the time, in fact, Princess Ling Xue’s earlier sneak attack had caused Ye Luo a serious internal injury.

Because at that moment, Ye Luo had no defenses, and Princess Ling Xue’s attack was directly aimed at the location of his Dantian, which is now the realm of the Qi Cyclone.

So, that whip caused his Qi Cyclone to shudder and halt, one could say that Ye Luo had forcibly suppressed his own internal injury.

Being inexplicably struck with internal injuries, who could possibly remain in good spirits after that!

The two walked out of the inner courtyard, but Ye Luo didn’t even bother to deal with Princess Ling Xue, and headed straight towards Yun Liancheng’s location.

"Where are you going?"

Princess Ling Xue saw Ye Luo walking away and asked.

"What’s it to you where I go?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Unexpectedly, Ye Luo did not show Princess Ling Xue the slightest bit of courtesy!

Even if Ye Luo could let go of his anger, it certainly wouldn’t dissipate so quickly. Princess Ling Xue coming to ask Ye Luo now was simply looking for trouble.

However, how could Princess Ling Xue know that her whip just now had caused Ye Luo to suffer an internal injury?

In Princess Ling Xue’s mind, the assault was just meant to teach Ye Luo a lesson.

At this moment, being spoken to in such a manner by Ye Luo, Princess Ling Xue was slightly taken aback.

This was the first person to have ever given her the cold shoulder like this!

Princess Ling Xue, who had grown up so sheltered, who would ever dare to treat her this way?

For some reason, alongside the anger in Princess Ling Xue’s heart was also a sense of indignation!

In Princess Ling Xue’s mind, Ye Luo had taken away her Mechanism City, and she hadn’t even troubled him for it yet, but Ye Luo seemed to be the one getting angry first?

Watching Ye Luo move straightforwardly ahead, Princess Ling Xue bit her lip and, unexpectedly, followed after him.

...

"Wow, it’s Commandery Princess Ling Xue!"

"Really, it’s really Commandery Princess Ling Xue!"

Along the way, people continuously recognized Princess Ling Xue’s identity, shouting in extreme excitement.

For Princess Ling Xue, this was already an all too common occurrence, so she paid no attention to the surrounding shouts.

On the contrary, Ye Luo was quite miffed. Did this girl really enjoy showing off that much?

However, Ye Luo couldn’t be bothered with her. After all, she was now considered Ye Luo’s senior sister. Annoyed as he was, he couldn’t possibly consider teaching her a lesson, right?

Ye Luo moved quickly and soon arrived at the branch where Yun Liancheng was located.

At that moment, Yun Liancheng was engaged in an arena duel.

This was a popular trial method at the Royal Academy, where two people fought on the stage to test each other’s martial skills.

Ye Luo watched Yun Liancheng, who was fighting. Naturally, he couldn’t intervene, so he quietly chose a spot to stand and watch Yun Liancheng’s battle.

"Your friend?"

Ling Xue glanced at Yun Liancheng on the stage, because he noticed that Ye Luo seemed to be paying close attention to Yun Liancheng.

Ye Luo turned his head to look at Ling Xue, but didn’t respond at all.

...

"Damn, who is that kid? How dare he treat Princess Ling Xue like this? Is he seeking death? It’s his honor that Princess Ling Xue deigns to speak to him, and he actually ignores her!"

"Yeah, where did this brat come from, daring to be so arrogant!"

Murmurs arose from the surrounding crowd. Princess Ling Xue was the center of attention the moment she arrived here.

But who knew, when Princess Ling Xue took the initiative to speak to a man, he actually gave her the cold shoulder!

At this moment, Ye Luo was simply incurring the wrath of the public!

Suddenly, Ye Luo felt his bracelet vibrate slightly, indicating that a new message had arrived.

Ye Luo looked at it and was stunned.

"New task: Challenge everyone in this branch and defeat them all. Task requirement: must be sufficiently arrogant!"

Freaking hell!

Ye Luo felt the urge to curse.

Why did he feel like he was being set up by the Border Guard?

It was bad enough to challenge all the disciples in a branch, but he also had to do it arrogantly!

What the hell was this about?

Ye Luo was merely here to check on Yun Liancheng and to wait for him to go home together. How did a task suddenly come up?

But did Ye Luo have a choice?

Apparently not, so it seemed he had to just go along with it.

At this time, Yun Liancheng had also finished his fight and immediately came over to Ye Luo.

"Haha, Brother Ye, how did it go? Was your apprenticeship successful?"

"It was alright."

Ye Luo replied directly, for he had already noticed that this guy, although talking to him, kept his gaze fixed on Princess Ling Xue, so naturally Ye Luo couldn’t be bothered to say much.

"Oh, alright? What does ’alright’ mean? Did you pass or not?"

While Yun Liancheng was asking Ye Luo, he didn’t wait for a reply and walked straight past Ye Luo towards Princess Ling Xue!

Ye Luo was slightly taken aback. Damn it, since when was Yun Liancheng so callously smitten?

"It is our great honor to have Princess Ling Xue grace us with her presence. I am one of the Yun disciples, and I am at your service. Is there anything you need, Princess Ling Xue?"

It turned out that Yun Liancheng had once had a brief encounter with Princess Ling Xue. Although their acquaintance was tenuous, he naturally wanted to join in on the excitement now.

Princess Ling Xue was of noble status and her beauty was renowned. Within the Royal Academy, she had countless admirers.

Princess Ling Xue looked at Yun Liancheng; indeed, she recognized him from before. She was also aware that Yun Liancheng knew Ye Luo, so she smiled at Yun Liancheng and said, "I’m just here to take a casual look!"
