Chapter 52: Turning Weapons into Jade and Silk
Looking at Luo Bu, whose legs were trembling like a sieve and seemed like they were about to kneel before Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan and the others could only look at each other in silence.
Had they known this would happen, why bother with all this from the start?
It seemed that for a long time to come, Xiao Yu would become a psychological shadow for Luo Bu.
At this moment, a graceful figure suddenly rushed over, tightly hugging Xiao Yu from behind, and kept rubbing her cheek on Xiao Yu's face.
"Yu'er! Long time no see! I've missed you so much!"
"Ah~ Long time no see, Xue Ni."
Xiao Yu glanced sideways at the girl whose head was resting on her shoulder. At this time, several girls in the attire of the Jia Nan Academy appeared and surrounded Xiao Yu, teasing and joking with her.
These girls were all acquaintances Xiao Yu had made at the library of the Outer Academy. Except for Xue Ni, none of them were in the same class, but they had a very good relationship. They had helped Xiao Yu gather a lot of information regarding Xiao Yan's Dou Qi problem, although it all ended in vain, Xiao Yu was still very grateful.
"Alright, Xue Ni, there are so many people here, tone it down a bit."
Xiao Yu pushed Xue Ni's cheek away with some disdain, hoping she would pay attention to her image, but Xue Ni's face showed a look of grievance.
"No~ When we return to the academy, you'll be going back to the Inner Academy. We won't be able to see each other often, let me enjoy this moment."
"Who said I'm going back to the Inner Academy?"
Xiao Yu asked with a light smile, and Xue Ni, along with the other girls, was stunned. Then they heard Xiao Yu continue.
"The problem I wanted to solve has been resolved, and I don't know anyone in the Inner Academy. It would be boring to stay there, so I already withdrew from the Inner Academy before the break."
"Really?!!!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xue Ni immediately jumped up, her face filled with joy, and she hugged Xiao Yu even tighter.
"That's great!!!"
"So let go."
Feeling the force with which Xue Ni was hugging her getting stronger, Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Then I can hug you every day and sleep together!"
"Hey, I said let go."
However, Xue Ni completely ignored Xiao Yu's words, still enjoying the moment, and Xiao Yu's expression turned darker.
"If anyone from the Outer Academy dares to bully me in the future, I'll just summon you! Let them know that I have someone backing me."
As Xue Ni was still fantasizing about a wonderful future, Xiao Yu finally couldn't hold it any longer. Her already limited patience disappeared without a trace. She grabbed Xue Ni's wrist and threw her to the ground, then stomped hard on Xue Ni's butt, trampling on her while cursing.
"Didn't you hear me say let go?! Huh?!!"
The girls who had been surrounding Xiao Yu earlier had already moved away. They looked at this familiar scene with some helplessness, and they noticed that Xue Ni, despite being trampled by Xiao Yu, had a look of enjoyment on her face, with no trace of pain at all.
"Masochist."
"This girl never learns her lesson."
"I'm saying, is it possible... she's doing this on purpose?"
"Being trampled by Xiao Yu's long legs, she's probably happy about it."
Of course, Xiao Yu had held back most of her strength in her "assault" on Xue Ni. Otherwise, given the disparity in their powers, this might have sent Xue Ni straight to the grave.
Listening to the chattering girls, Xiao Yan and the others couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
So, things like this happen often?
The Xiao family siblings exchanged glances, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning couldn't help but look at each other with twisted expressions.
Could it be that the students in Jia Nan Academy are all like this? Is this the kind of place we're about to enter?
As Xiao Yu continued to trample Xue Ni, a gentle female voice came from behind her.
"Yu'er, there are so many new students watching, be mindful of your image."
Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Yu stopped and turned around to face the soft and gentle woman, smiling.
"Teacher Ruo Lin, long time no see."
"Hehe, I'm not sure if I can still be considered your teacher." Ruo Lin chuckled helplessly, "Although you're only a Three-Star Dou Shi now, with your extraordinary combat ability, even I, a Five-star Da Dou Shi, might not be able to beat you."
"Teachers are teachers, and that's unrelated to strength." Xiao Yu looked at Ruo Lin seriously and said, "When I was at school, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to keep searching for informations in the library. I'll always remember this kindness."
The Outer Academy also had its own system. After Xiao Yu entered Jia Nan Academy, she often skipped classes just to gather information. If it weren't for Ruo Lin constantly speaking up for her, Xiao Yu would have likely been kicked out of Jia Nan Academy before she even had the chance to enter the Inner Academy.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Yao Chen, in the ring, also felt a deep sense of emotion.
This statement was very much like Xiao Yan. Among the Xiao family disciples, the person most similar in terms of mindset and behavior to Xiao Yan was probably Xiao Yu.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, a slight smile appeared on Ruo Lin's face, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Strong in strength, diligent in cultivation, respectful of teachers, not causing trouble, and able to treat even those of lower status with a normal attitude. A student like this is truly perfect."
"By the way, Teacher Ruo Lin, about the transfer application I submitted before the break..."
Xiao Yu suddenly remembered something and softly asked. Ruo Lin then replied.
"From a teacher's perspective, I do not support you transferring back from the Inner Academy to the Outer Academy."
Ruo Lin answered lightly.
The teaching resources of the Outer and Inner Academies are not on the same level at all. With Xiao Yu's talent, staying in the Outer Academy would only waste her potential.
Xiao Yu didn't hurry to explain, silently listening to what Ruo Lin would say next.
"But you're a determined child. Once you've made up your mind, no one's words matter." Ruo Lin paused before continuing. "Moreover, I've already noticed that you're not someone who relentlessly pursues strength. In this case, there's really no difference between the Outer and Inner Academies for you."
Ruo Lin smiled slightly, gently looking at Xiao Yu.
"In short, welcome back to the Outer Academy~"
"Mm!"
Xiao Yu nodded in response, while the other girls around her had somewhat odd expressions.
"Welcome back to the Outer Academy." Normally, such words wouldn't be considered a compliment, especially since many people in the Outer Academy desperately try to get into the Inner Academy.
It wasn't uncommon for people to be sent back from the Inner Academy to the Outer Academy, but it seemed that Xiao Yu might be the first to voluntarily return from the Inner Academy to the Outer Academy.
"Done for. Done for."
Ruo Lin's words caused Luo Bu to lose all willpower, and he collapsed to the ground, his face showing absolute despair with no attempt to hide it.
Watching Luo Bu's condition, Xiao Ning, who had just faced off with him, actually felt a bit of sympathy and could relate.
After all, that was Xiao Ning's sister, and when Xiao Ning was younger, he had been quite mischievous. Xiao Ning had often been on the receiving end of "affectionate violence" from his sister, leading to the point where Xiao Ning dared not even speak out against Xiao Yu now. This could be seen from the late-stage cancellation of their performance.
If one were to ask Xiao Ning who scared him the most, it would definitely be Xiao Yu, without a second choice.
At least in terms of psychological trauma, Xiao Ning and Luo Bu were on the same level.
Thinking this, Xiao Ning crouched down, lightly patting Luo Bu's shoulder. When Luo Bu looked up at him, Xiao Ning sincerely comforted him.
"I understand."
"You..."
Luo Bu stared blankly at Xiao Ning, the new student who had just had a huge argument with him.
At this moment, Xiao Ning extended his hand to him, his face full of sincerity.
"Hang in there! We'll definitely overcome this shadow! Believe in yourself!!!"
"We..."
Hearing this, Luo Bu's eyes glistened with tears, and he tightly grasped Xiao Ning's extended hand, nodding vigorously.
"Mm!!!"
This scene of turning conflict into harmony should have been touching, but...
"Ugh!"
Xiao Mei, who was lying on Xiao Yan's back, felt a wave of nausea and looked at them with disgust.
"This scene is too disgusting."
"Indeed."
Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, standing to the side, both had black lines on their faces and nodded in agreement.
