Xiao Ning exerted a little force to break free from her hand, stood still, shook her head and said, "I don't know him. Why would I go to see him for no reason? Could it be that he is the one you love?"
Xiao Yu was both amused and exasperated. He explained in a slightly annoyed tone, "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? Instructor Ruolin is a four-star Grand Dou Master and a great beauty. I begged her for a long time before she finally agreed to see you. Don't be so willful, little brother!"
"A mere four-star Grand Dou Master is nothing but trash!"
The thought flashed through Xiao Ning's mind, but when she saw the sincerity and urgency in her stepsister's eyes, her heart softened.
"Is it really a good idea for me to hide my cultivation level?"
For the first time, Xiao Ning had some doubts about whether her actions were correct.
"Although to me, this older sister is just a plot NPC, to her, I, Xiao Ning, am her own brother!"
"Upon hearing that my cultivation had suddenly declined, they have been running around trying to find a way for me to restore my battle qi cultivation over the years!"
"How could I bear to deceive her like this?"
Xiao Ning's expression shifted between light and shadow, and she began to doubt herself.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu, who was standing opposite him, patted his arm and asked tentatively in a soft voice, "Little brother, are you... alright? I'm doing this for your own good. Instructor Ruolin is very easy to talk to. Don't be willful anymore!"
"call!"
After a while, Xiao Ning's complexion returned to normal. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ning finally understood.
He decided that he would reveal his cultivation level when the time was right.
For now, it might as well continue to play the fool.
Xiao Yu smiled, stepped forward, took his hand, and said, "Come with me!"
After saying that, her sexy long legs walked towards the admissions plaza.
Xiao Ning was held tightly by her and followed behind. They wandered around Wutan Town for a long time before finally arriving at the western corner of a square.
This area is located at the back of the square, where fully armed troops have formed two or three layers of encirclement. Their weapons, gleaming coldly, reflect a blinding light in the sunlight.
Xiao Yu glanced at the heavily guarded area, gave Xiao Ning some instructions, and then stepped forward alone. She took out a jade-green plaque from her pocket, spoke quietly with a soldier who looked like an officer for a while, and then waved to Xiao Ning, signaling him to come over.
The middle-aged officer's somewhat sinister gaze swept over Xiao Ning inch by inch. After a long while, he waved his hand and shouted, "Let him pass!"
Hearing the middle-aged officer's shout, the extremely solid iron-clad wall of men immediately began to make a series of neat sounds as their armor clashed, and a narrow path, just wide enough for one person to pass through, slowly appeared.
Xiao Yu smiled gratefully at the middle-aged officer, put away the green badge, nodded to Xiao Ning, and then followed the middle-aged officer into the room.
Following behind Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning stepped into the human wall passage. As soon as he entered, he felt his skin getting cold, a chill rose up, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
The expressionless soldiers around them exuded a faint smell of blood and an indescribable pressure. If an ordinary person were here, the oppressive feeling of being unable to breathe would be enough to make them wet their pants.
However, it meant nothing to Xiao Ning. He walked calmly past the wall of steel men without changing his expression.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect, her pretty face turning slightly pale. She gave the middle-aged officer a reproachful, bitter smile and said, "Commander Ke, are you deliberately tormenting my little brother?"
"Hehe, this was instructed by Instructor Ruolin. If you want to use the back door, you naturally have to undergo some tests. You are quite good. Each of my subordinates is a man who has slept with a corpse. If they were a little less composed, they would be scared to death before they even got halfway there."
A smile appeared on the middle-aged officer's blank face. His gaze swept over Xiao Ning, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes: "It seems that Instructor Ruolin has been able to acquire a good student this time."
Xiao Yu rolled her eyes, waved her hand dismissively at the middle-aged officer, and pulled Xiao Ning along as they quickly walked into the square.
Upon reaching the center of the square, an open green cloak appeared. Outside, amidst the bustling crowds, occasionally a young man or woman who had passed the test would excitedly enter the square.
Xiao Yu led Xiao Ning into the tent. In the center, a woman in green sat smiling in the main seat. Her beautiful face was adorned with a gentle smile, and her soft gaze was like a gentle stream flowing through one's heart, making one unable to resist being captivated by the woman's unique gentleness and charm.
The woman appeared to be slightly older than Xiao Yu. Her full and shapely figure exuded a mature charm honed by time, a natural allure that far surpassed that of a naive young girl like Xiao Yu.
Xiao Ning's eyes swept over the woman. Although she was slightly less beautiful than Xiao Xun'er or Xiao Yu, her gentle and quiet temperament was unparalleled.
The woman opposite me perfectly embodied the phrase "woman is like water."
"Yu'er is back. Is this your younger brother?"
The woman's gentle, captivating voice rang out, and even Xiao Ning, with his composure, couldn't help but be mesmerized by its softness.
"Teacher Ruolin, hehe, he's Yu'er's younger brother, Xiao Ning!"
Looking at the gentle woman inside the tent, Xiao Yu grinned and pounced on her, hugging her seemingly plump but not fat waist.
Xiao Ning stood in the center of the tent, smiling as she watched this scene of deep teacher-student affection.
Then, Xiao Yu raised her head, waved to him, and said, "Little brother, come over here and greet Instructor Ruolin!"
Ruolin's gaze followed, and she saw that Xiao Ning was indeed as her disciple Xiao Yu had said, handsome and dashing, a true gentleman.
However, thinking of his regressed cultivation level, Ruolin's face darkened, and she shook her head inwardly.
Xiao Ning bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Instructor Ruolin!"
Ruolin glanced at Xiao Yu, stood up and said, "Xiao Ning, right? You don't need to be so polite. I heard from Yu'er that your fighting spirit has inexplicably regressed."
"So, the reason I invited you here today is to see what exactly is going on!"
She walked over and stopped in front of Xiao Ning.
"Of course, I've never seen such a bizarre situation before, so I can't guarantee that I'll have a solution. I can only say that I'll do my best!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning nodded and said indifferently, "I'm already mentally prepared to live the life of an ordinary person, so please feel free to do as you please, Instructor Ruolin!"
