2582 Side Story 86: Not Siblings

Ling Xiao Academy recruited two geniuses.

Actually, this wasn’t rare to the many elders and students in the academy, but the situation was rather different this time. That was because out of the two newcomers, there was a young man in his teens and was already a demiG.o.d!

The other young woman was an all-rounder, though she paled in comparison.

She was skilled as a warrior, Xuan Master, and a heavenly doctor. Other than the fact that she hadn’t broken through to become a legendary warrior and thus couldn’t undergo the cultivation to become an Armory Refinement Master, she was very outstanding in all other areas.

Even in Ling Xiao Academy, such talent was superior. Hence, when these two people came, they instantly caused quite a huge commotion in Ling Xiao Academy.

Besides that, rumors had it that these two people were very good-looking. In this case, more people were secretly curious and started to wait to see them.

But after much waiting, they did not see the two of them appear.

Everyone asked around and found out that the two of them had alerted the director once they entered the academy. Hence, before the duo could do anything after coming, they entered Dong Huang Clock Tower first.

…

Living room.

Shangguan Yue came with Rong Xiu.

Once they stepped through the door, they saw an elder in white with a white beard.

He looked kind and seemed like a deity.

His eyes that looked over seemed as though they could see through everything. They were warm yet contained unignorable strong force.

With just one glance, Shangguan Yue realized that this was the legendary Ling Xiao Academy’s current director—Nan Suhuai.

At this point, Nan Suhuai was also looking at the two of them.

Seeing the cold and distinguished young man in white, Nan Suhuai’s gaze flickered, and he instinctively wanted to greet him. “Your—”

Rong Xiu looked up slightly and glanced at him.

Nan Suhuai immediately cleared his mind and hurriedly swallowed his remaining words. His heart harshly skipped a beat. I actually forgot that there was someone beside him!

Thinking of this, he moved his gaze to the side and was slightly dazed.

It was a young girl with peerless beauty and elegance in her bones. When she smiled, her eyes curved up and looked charming.

Nan Suhuai secretly felt emotional. So it’s this one… The Emperor told me to wait here, and it has been so many years that I thought I was being forgotten. I never thought that the day… has finally come!

He smiled. “No need to stand on ceremony. I believe Hua Feng should’ve already told you of my ident.i.ty earlier.”

Shangguan Yue nodded. “Greetings, Director.”

Then, she lightly tugged the young man’s sleeves. “Rong Xiu, greet the director.”

Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and readily followed good advice. “Greetings, Director.”

When Nan Suhuai heard this, he felt his head becoming bigger. But when he met the calm and suppressive eyes, he had to brave himself and continue. “Ahem. You’re… Rong Yue, right? I already know of your admission results. Today, I asked you to come here because I have a question for you—are… you willing to be my disciple?”

Shangguan Yue was instantly stunned.

She had heard of Ling Xiao Academy’s director, Nan Suhuai. Rumors had it that this person was extremely strong, and he was very picky. After all these years, he had not taken a disciple in.

She was already very surprised that she was called over on her first day of admission. She never expected the director to directly ask her to be his student.

She widened her eyes slightly and pointed at herself. “You’re talking about… me?”

Did Big Baby and the rest reveal the news? But… it shouldn’t be the case…Back then, Big Baby had specifically told me to cultivate properly and not get into trouble…

Nan Suhuai was also rather nervous. He had no choice as that person was watching from the side!

He coughed and asked seemingly in shock, “You’re reluctant? You need to know that you’re a rare all-rounder talent. I’ve searched for many years, but I didn’t find anyone suitable. If you reject me, then… Won’t I be unable to take in a disciple my entire life?”

When he spoke to the end, his expression seemed as if he was in a difficult spot. It was as though Shangguan Yue’s rejection would be a huge loss.

Shangguan Yue was dazed for once.

Recovering her senses, she hurriedly said, “Why would that be? It’s my honor to have you as my mentor!”

She had quite a good impression of this director. Besides, this was a rare opportunity that others couldn’t even beg to have, so why would she reject it?

Seeing that she was shocked and surprised, Rong Xiu’s lips curled up at a slightly faint angle.

Nan Suhuai was very emotional.

This lady was well-mannered, magnanimous, and very talented. He did like her quite a bit.

Shangguan Yue blinked and suddenly thought of something. “Director, what about Rong Xiu? He’s more talented than me. Do you think—”

When Rong Xiu entered the academy, he only tested as a warrior, but she knew clearly that he wasn’t weak in other aspects. Hence, she felt that the director should take Rong Xiu in.

However, she didn’t expect the director’s expression to suddenly change when he heard this.

After a moment, the director said hesitantly, “Um… I’m afraid this is inappropriate…”

Shangguan Yue was dazed.

Nan Suhuai felt suffering.

Even if he was more daring, he would not dare to be this person’s mentor. However, that lady looked straight at him. If he did not explain clearly, it would be more troublesome.

Finally, he stammered, “Um… Rong Xiu and I have met each other once before, and I know him a little. He… is not suited to cultivate under me.”

Shangguan Yue looked disappointed. The director is the most capable one in the entire academy. If Rong Xiu loses this opportunity, he—

“Actually, n.o.body in the academy now is suitable to be Rong Xiu’s mentor. Why don’t we do this? Rong Xiu, in the future, you can enter and leave the academy as you wish and cultivate on your own. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask any of the elders. How is that?”

This was the reason Nan Suhuai had thought of earlier.

Shangguan Yue heard it and was extremely shocked. Ling Xiao Academy… is actually willing to have such an exception for Rong Xiu? In comparison, me becoming the director’s disciple doesn’t seem to count for much, right?

She looked at Rong Xiu and saw that he nodded calmly, accepting it. “Thank you, Director.”

…

The news seemed to have wings as it rapidly spread throughout Ling Xiao Academy.

At that moment, the crowd broke into an uproar!

Not to mention that the director took in a disciple, but he even allowed the other one not to have a mentor and could enter the academy to cultivate freely? Wasn’t this akin to making all the elders in the academy to become his mentor?

How honorable was that!?

They wondered what the two newcomers did to have such treatment!

Quite a few people were upset about this. They’ve just come for one day, and they are going to trample all over us? The current newcomers are too arrogant!

Hence, Shangguan Yue and Rong Xiu were surrounded on their second morning.

The one at the front was a man in his twenties. He had a large build with a shocking aura.

His gaze landed on Shangguan Yue, and surprise quickly flashed across his originally harsh expression. “Rong Yue?”

But very quickly, a cold gaze landed on him, which sent a chill down his spine.

He looked over and met with the icy cold gaze.

He licked his lips and smiled. “Rong Xiu, right? I’m Jiang Ping and can be considered your senior. Don’t misunderstand. I’m just here to ask Junior Sister Rong Yue if she has the time to duel.”

Without waiting for a reply, he teased, “This is your younger sister’s matters. I think you shouldn’t interfere too much as an older brother, okay?”

He could see this young man’s enmity and that he clearly planned to reject him, so he said this directly.

As they both had the last name ‘Rong,’ everyone tacitly thought that they were siblings.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yue blinked. Oh, there seems to be a misunderstanding…

However, Rong Xiu suddenly laughed. He looked to the side and glanced at the young girl beside him. “…Younger sister?”

Shangguan Yue felt guilty for some reason. I seem to have caused trouble for Rong Xiu…

Without waiting for her to reply, Rong Xiu had already retracted his gaze and lightly said to the crowd, “She’s not my younger sister.”

The crowd, including Jiang Ping, was collectively stunned. Not siblings? But these two people are unusually intimate. If they aren’t siblings, could they be—

Jiang Ping knitted his brows, and his smile was rather cold. “Since this is so, you have even less right to care about her matters, right?”

Rong Xiu’s expression was nonchalant. “You want to duel with her? ”

Jiang Ping was stumped. This was just his excuse, but he did not want to admit it now.

“Yeah! We’re all Ling Xiao Academy’s students. Isn’t it very normal for us to duel?”

Rong Xiu nodded.

Just when the crowd thought that he would move, they heard him say, “You can fight with her, but you have to beat me first.”
