Chapter 51: Daughter of the Heavens

"This voice..."

Hearing this somewhat familiar shout, Xiao Yu furrowed her brows slightly. Stretching her long legs, she stepped into the courtyard and saw her younger brother, Xiao Ning, standing with arms crossed at the front of a group of Xiao clan members. Opposite him stood a man dressed in the uniform of Jia Nan Academy, glaring at Xiao Ning. Around them, a group of new students who had passed the admission test watched the commotion.

When Xiao Yu saw the man, her brows furrowed even more.

The reason was simple—she recognized this man. He had been her classmate during her time in the Outer Academy, and his name was Luo Bu.

Just as Xiao Yu was puzzled over what had happened, Xiao Ning, who was confronting Luo Bu, opened his mouth.

"We came here to study, not to kneel to someone." Xiao Ning looked coldly at Luo Bu before him, his tone firm and devoid of any hint of fear. "I, Xiao Ning, will kneel to the heavens, kneel to the earth, and kneel to my parents. But you want me to kneel to you? Who do you think you are?"

Don't be fooled by Xiao Ning's usual amicable demeanor when he played with Xiao Yan or treated his family kindly. He would even let Xiao Mei bully him without retaliating.

But that was because Xiao Ning chose to tolerate it!

At his core, Xiao Ning's temper was no better than Xiao Mei's; he simply kept it restrained most of the time.

If someone deliberately provoked him, Xiao Ning would not hold back!

So what if I'm a new student? Does that mean I must kneel to you senior students?

"You!!!"

Luo Bu glared at Xiao Ning, his expression turning vicious. However, this sinister look did not escape Xiao Ning's sharp gaze. Xiao Ning merely sneered in disdain.

"What? You want to fight?" Xiao Ning shifted slightly to the side, coldly staring at Luo Bu. "Then come on! Our Xiao clan never provokes trouble, but if you insist on being shameless and looking for a beating, I'm more than happy to oblige."

"Such disrespect for seniors! You deserve to be punished!"

"Seniors? Are you even worthy?!"

Luo Bu's body tensed, and he lunged toward Xiao Ning. At the same time, Xiao Ning raised his arms, ready to counter.

Suddenly, a shadowy whip imbued with powerful Dou Qi lashed through the air, striking the ground between Luo Bu and Xiao Ning. The fierce energy left a deep groove on the stone tiles, startling both Luo Bu and Xiao Ning into freezing. They turned their gazes toward the courtyard gate in unison.

"Xiao Yu?"

"Big Sis?"

Luo Bu and Xiao Ning exclaimed simultaneously. Hearing Xiao Ning's address, Luo Bu instantly turned to Xiao Ning in shock, cold sweat breaking out on his face.

My heavens! You're this woman's younger brother?!

Why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known, I wouldn't have dared argue with you even if I had ten lives!

At that moment, Luo Bu's heart turned icy cold, regret filling his very soul.

Although Luo Bu had been Xiao Yu's classmate for a year in the Outer Academy, they rarely interacted since Xiao Yu spent most of her time in the library.

However, even without direct interaction, Luo Bu and everyone else feared Xiao Yu immensely!

After joining the academy, within just one year, she had advanced to the Dou Shi level, earning the title of the Outer Academy's most gifted student!

The most outrageous event happened early last year. Despite being a one-star Dou Shi at the time, Xiao Yu participated in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, which typically required at least a six-star Dou Shi to qualify. Not only did she compete, but she also emerged victorious, claiming of the top 5 place effortlessly!

Luo Bu had been present during that tournament. After watching it, he couldn't help but complain inwardly.

This is absurd! She's not a normal Dou Shi at all!

At the time, Xiao Yu's strength as a one-star Dou Shi was enough to suppress even nine-star Dou Shi opponents. Those below five stars didn't last three moves against her!

With such monstrous talent, who in the Outer Academy dared provoke her?!

As Luo Bu recalled these past events, Xiao Yu retracted her whip and walked forward, placing herself between Luo Bu and Xiao Ning. Her sharp gaze made Luo Bu, who was already drenched in cold sweat, tremble.

"Luo Bu, it seems your habit of bullying new students hasn't changed a bit."

Last year, Luo Bu had already shown a penchant for using his senior status to intimidate new students. These new students, having barely passed the rigorous entrance test, feared being expelled and dared not resist.

Back then, Xiao Yu had also been among the new recruits. However, her attention was entirely focused on Xiao Yan's Dou Qi issue, so she paid little mind to anything else.

But now, Luo Bu had targeted her younger brother. That was something Xiao Yu couldn't overlook.

Xiao Yu knew her brother's personality well. While his temper wasn't much better than Xiao Mei's, he wasn't the type to cause trouble unnecessarily. The Xiao clan disciple, under Xiao Yan's guidance, had all developed a habit of resolving issues peacefully whenever possible.

Considering Luo Bu's personality and Xiao Ning's earlier words, Xiao Yu could easily piece together what had happened.

"Xiao… Xiao Yu, long time no see~"

Luo Bu stammered, his body trembling as he greeted Xiao Yu. His quivering voice made Xiao Ning sigh helplessly as he watched.

You see? If you were going to apologize like this, why act so arrogantly earlier?

"That's all you have to say to me?"

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, her calm tone making Luo Bu's heart tighten. He immediately bowed his head.

"I'm sorry! I was too arrogant earlier!"

"Apologizing is a good start. At least it shows you're not completely hopeless. Fix this bad habit of yours quickly. Next time, someone else might not let you off so easily."

"Yes! I'll definitely work hard to change!"

Seeing Luo Bu lower his head and apologize, Xiao Yu didn't press the matter further. Her calm words signified that she had let him off the hook.

At this moment, Xiao Yan and the other three approached. Xiao Mei, lying lazily on Xiao Yan's back, squinted at Xiao Yu and asked, "Sister Xiao Yu, what exactly did you do in the academy?"

"I'm not sure. I didn't pay much attention. Maybe it's because I cultivated quickly," Xiao Yu shrugged nonchalantly, showing no pride in her achievements.

Having been taught by Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu never placed much importance on strength. After all, the Inner Academy was full of people stronger than her. She was just a three-star Dou Shi, far from worthy of complacency.

If Luo Bu knew Xiao Yu's thoughts, he would likely start complaining again.

My goodness, do you even realize how extraordinary you are?

Yes, there are people stronger than you in the Inner Academy, and even in the Outer Academy, many are at a higher level than you.

But no one else can cross such insane level gaps to crush their opponents like you can. You're unmatched in the entire Jia Nan Academy!

Regardless, Luo Bu resolved to stay far away from Xiao Yu and anyone associated with her. Better safe than sorry.

As these thoughts crossed Luo Bu's mind, Xiao Yu suddenly spoke, and her words made Luo Bu's face turn ashen.

"Oh, by the way, I've withdrawn from the Inner Academy. This year, we'll be classmates again." Xiao Yu glanced at Luo Bu's dazed expression and added lightly, "I've always been busy with other matters and never got to enjoy academy life properly. From now on, let's coexist peacefully as classmates."

"..."

Luo Bu's heart sank into utter despair.
