Xiao Yu's blush faded. Still holding onto Xiao Jian's arm, she turned calmly and said with a faint nod, "Robb, long time no see.
"Heh."
Robb smiled, but his eyes flicked toward their linked arms, and a trace of cold fury flashed deep in his gaze.
"So, these are the new candidates you brought for testing?" he asked casually.
"Mm."
Xiao Yu nodded lightly and introduced the group once more....then, emphasizing one in particular, she added with a serene smile,
"This is my cousin, Xiao Jian.
Also.....my boyfriend."
Robb's face darkened visibly.
The group of girls around them froze in shock, their expressions stiffening as Xiao Yu openly admitted Xiao Jian's identity.
Behind them, Xiao Yan and Xun'er exchanged surprised glances.
Even Xiao Mei couldn't help but look at the pair's intimate posture with a trace of envy in her eyes.
As for Xiao Ning...he simply looked up at the sky helplessly.
His sister's business was something he neither could nor dared to interfere in.
If he tried, she'd probably beat him half to death.
"Oh, I see."
Taking a deep breath, Robb forced an awkward smile.
Then, pulling out a red crystal orb the size of a fist, he held it up and said,
"Just so happens that Instructor Ruolin gave me a testing crystal earlier.
They can use this one.
The rest have already been taken to the main testing channel, so if you don't use mine, you'll have to wait a while."
Hearing that, Xiao Yu nodded and turned to explain softly to Xiao Yan,
"This test is simple. As long as your Dou Qi reaches the eighth stage, the crystal will glow automatically.
If it lights up, you've passed the initial assessment."
"Alright, let Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei go first," Xiao Jian said gently, smiling.
At his words, Xiao Mei, Xiao Ning, Xun'er, and Xiao Yan each stepped forward, placing their hands on the crystal.
A moment later, it shimmered with light.....one after another, all four passed.
Seeing their success, Xiao Jian stepped up, lightly placing his palm against the orb.
Instantly, the crystal erupted with blinding brilliance so intense that Robb had to squint and turn away.
"Relax," Xiao Yu said calmly. "If they hadn't met the standard, I wouldn't have brought them here myself."
"Hehe, it's not that I don't trust you," Robb said with a false laugh. "Rules are rules."
Putting away the crystal, he pointed to the group of new students sitting cross-legged outside under the blazing sun and said with a smirk,
"Congratulations on passing the preliminary test. Now, please go sit outside for half an hour."
"Robb, what do you mean by that?"
Xiao Yu's expression darkened instantly, her tone sharp as ice.
"Xiao Yu, you're a senior student.....you know this is tradition," Robb replied with a feigned smile.
"New students have been getting too arrogant lately.
It's better to humble them a little before they enter the academy. It'll help them in the long run."
"Stop spouting nonsense," Xiao Yu snapped coldly. "That excuse might fool the newbies, but not me. The ones I brought are staying right here!"
Robb, quit stirring up trouble," one of the nearby girls said with irritation.
You know perfectly well that rule is optional. Why make things difficult?"
"Sorry," Robb said smoothly, his grin widening. "But since they passed the test under my supervision, they're under my
jurisdiction for now. That means I decide."
Then, as Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with anger, he added casually,
"Tell you what, since it's you, Yu'er, I'll make an exception. They don't all need to go.....just one person will do. Hmm… how about…"
His gaze slid across the group and stopped with a grin.
"…how about this Xiao Jian fellow? He's a man....surely he doesn't mind a little sunlight."
Xiao Jian didn't even look at him. He simply turned to Xiao Yu and asked quietly, "Yu'er?"
"I never gave him permission to call me that," Xiao Yu said furiously, her face showing both anger and humiliation.
"Tsk, pathetic," Xiao Jian muttered with a faint frown, glancing at Robb as if looking at something filthy.
"The teaching quality at Canaan Academy must've fallen pretty low if trash like you can make it into the recruitment team.
You're an embarrassment to the so-called top academy on the Dou Qi Continent."
His words wiped the fake smile off Robb's face completely.
