Upon hearing this, Qin Ming nodded and called everyone over. After discussing with teachers Yu Xiaogang, Flander, Zhao Wuji and Ah Yin, he led them all over. They were already aware of the exchange program with Lanba Academy, and everyone was filled with interest about the upcoming interactions.
However, on the way, Dai Mubai's gaze was fixed on Tang Yin in front of him, as if he harbored a deep-seated grudge. Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, who was beside Yu Tianheng, also glanced at Tang Yin from time to time, her expression quite complex.
"Yanzi, what's wrong with you?" Yu Tianheng noticed Dugu Yan's unusual behavior and asked in confusion.
"Nothing, I'm fine," Dugu Yan shook her head, naturally unable to tell Yu Tianheng about her grandfather's intention to matchmake her with Tang Yin. Even Zhu Zhuqing occasionally looked at Tang Yin, her mind echoing his previous words. Dai Mubai noticed this scene and coldly remarked, "You seem quite interested in him. What, was his earlier hug not enough for you?"
Dai Mubai's words were laced with sarcasm and anger. Zhu Zhuqing shot him a glance but remained unfazed, her expression still cold as she casually asked, "Is that what you think?"
"Hmph!" Dai Mubai scoffed.
"Boss Dai, how can you say that about Zhuqing?" Ning Rongrong, who was beside Zhu Zhuqing, stepped in to defend her.
"Exactly," Xiao Wu chimed in, knowing Zhu Zhuqing well and feeling displeased with Dai Mubai's comment. At that moment, Tang Yin turned his head to look at Dai Mubai, then at Zhu Zhuqing, and calmly said something that would instantly infuriate Dai Mubai.
"Zhu Zhuqing, with your tenacious and unyielding character, you could comprehend the essence of my words in just one night. If you train with me, you could surpass him within a year." Tang Yin was, of course, referring to Dai Mubai.
"You..." Dai Mubai nearly lost his temper and was about to confront Tang Yin. He felt that Tang Yin was trying to undermine him right in front of his face, especially as he was engaged to Zhu Zhuqing. If he didn't get angry, he wouldn't be a man.
Seeing the tension rising between his brother and Dai Mubai, Tang San quickly intervened. "Brother, maybe you should say less. Boss Dai, my brother didn't mean it the way you think."
On account of Tang San, Dai Mubai let out a cold "hmph," unclenching his fists and saying nothing more. Tang Yin smiled and turned back, choosing not to say anything further. Given Dai Mubai's temper, it was certain he would confront Zhu Zhuqing later, and Tang Yin had a hunch that it would lead to a big argument. That would certainly be interesting.
Zhu Zhuqing felt unsettled upon hearing Tang Yin's words, especially when Dai Mubai looked at her with suspicion, which only added to her unease.
...
In a reception room at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a beautiful woman in her thirties was sitting and sipping tea.
Dressed in a simple blue cloth dress, she had a strand of hair tied up with a cloth wrap. Her mature features were exquisite, with strikingly beautiful eyes and an elegant demeanor.
Her rosy cheeks and full lips highlighted her extraordinary beauty, especially her well-proportioned figure that was beyond the reach of ordinary girls.
She was none other than Liu Erlong, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, who had come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for an exchange program. Behind her were some students she brought along, ostensibly for an exchange, but in reality, they were there to assess the quality of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's students this year.
At this moment, Liu Erlong was unaware that she was about to meet the man she had longed for over the years, Yu Xiaogang. She also did not know that tonight, she would be overwhelmed by Tang Yin, leading to an unforgettable experience.
Liu Erlong set down her teacup and looked at Meng Shenji, who was seated at the head of the table. "Dean Meng, do you know when your students will arrive?"
As the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy and a Soul Sage, Liu Erlong commanded respect, and Meng Shenji did not neglect her. "They'll be here soon; I've already sent someone to fetch them. By the way, Dean Liu, your students seem quite impressive this year!"
Liu Erlong chuckled lightly, "They still can't compare to your academy. After all, you are the top academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, while mine is just a civilian academy."
Meng Shenji was aware of Blue Tyrant Academy's reputation, especially after their commendable performance in the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. Thus, Lanba Academy was well-known in Heaven Dou City, particularly among the common folk, where its reputation often surpassed that of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He also noticed that the students Liu Erlong brought had excellent qualifications, and overall, they seemed to outshine his own academy's teams.
"By the way, Dean Meng, I heard some students mention that your academy recently added a new female Soul Sage teacher?" Liu Erlong asked curiously. As a female Soul Sage herself, she was interested in this new addition.
Meng Shenji stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. "Indeed, that's true." Just as he was about to elaborate, a teacher walked in from outside—the one he had sent to find Qin Ming and the others.
"Dean Meng, Teacher Qin Ming and the others have arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group entered. Leading the way were Qin Ming, Flander, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and Ah Yin, who was chatting with Tang Yin.
Upon entering, Tang Yin glanced around and immediately recognized the alluring woman seated at the table as Liu Erlong, the dean of Blue Academy. At the same time, Liu Erlong was momentarily stunned upon seeing the group enter, her gaze fixated on one person among them
