"Gege. It's me Xun'er." Outside, Xun'er knocked on the door.

But before Xun'er could finish her words, Xiao Yan's voice rang out in the room, with a hint of anger in his tone, "Go away, don't disturb me while I'm practicing."

"...."

"Get out of here!" Xiao Yan cursed out loud.

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er was stunned. This was the first time Xiao Yan had gotten angry at her. She sighed and walked out of the courtyard helplessly.

Ling Ying, who was hiding in the dark to protect Xun'er, saw this scene and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. How dare Xiao Yan treat his young lady like this.

But considering that Xiao Yan was his young lady's only friend in the Xiao family, he endured it. After careful observation, he found that Xiao Yan's cultivation was only at the eighth level of Dou Qi.

Immediately, he sent a voice message to Xiao Xun'er, "Miss, it seems that Master Xiao Yan's Dou Qi cultivation has dropped to the eighth stage."

"What?" Xun'er was startled. No wonder Xiao Yan stayed in the room without eating, practicing like a possessed man.

"Mr. Ling, do you know why his dou qi disappeared?" Xiao Xun'er asked .

Ling Ying shook his head. "Master Xiao Yan's body is normal except that he is a little weak due to not sleeping and not eating."

"I understand, Mr. Ling. When you have time, please pay more attention to his physical condition. If you find anything, help if you can."

"I will obey your command."

Taking a deep breath, Xun'er slowly walked out of the courtyard where Xiao Yan was.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked by in the distance.

This made Xiao Xun'er slightly stunned, and she was a little surprised and asked, "Is it him?"

"Miss, this kid named Xiao Se is a genius who is no less talented than Young Master Xiao Yan. He has now broken through to the Dou Zhe level," Ling Ying, who was hiding in the dark, reminded.

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "But Elder Ling, why did he hide it?"

It's not that Xiao Xun'er cares so much about the young man in front of her, but that he is not only gifted but also the only one in the Xiao family who ignores her charm.

Ling Ying paused for a moment, then said in a tactful tone, "Perhaps because of his rough life, this kid has developed a good character. He knows how to protect himself, how to be patient, and how to hide his shortcomings. He is not stupid enough to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and he will not be too dazzling. Miss, have you noticed that he plays an almost transparent role in the Xiao family? Except for having some dealings with the little girl named Xiao Yu, most of the other young disciples of the Xiao family don't even remember his name."

He did not mention Xiao Yan at all during the whole process, because if he did, he would find that Xiao Yan's character was not as good as his. Even a slight failure would almost make him unable to recover.

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly, agreeing with Ling Ying's judgment in her heart.

She specifically asked Ling Ying to check Xiao Se's background.

His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by family slaves. Because his father was ruthless and had offended many people, he was once abandoned by the family after his parents died.

If he had not shown an extraordinary talent for cultivation at the age of six, he would not even have been able to enter the Xiao family's gate.

Xiao Xun'er walked up to Xiao Se and said with a smile, "Cousin Xiao Se, what a coincidence, I actually met you here."

Although she knew that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Se's background, Xun'er, who considered herself well-educated, would not ignore him.

Xiao Se was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

When he saw Xiao Xun'er coming out of Xiao Yan's yard, he noticed her. He just wanted to ignore her and go find Xiao Yu by himself, but he didn't expect that she would actually take the initiative to greet him.

"Miss Xun'er, is there anything I can do for you?" Xiao Se asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. No matter how hard others tried to please her, Xiao Se didn't have the habit of being a bootlicker.

"Hehe…" Xiao Xun'er pursed her lips. She was not at all surprised by the boy's attitude. A cute dimple appeared on her pretty face. She smiled and said, "Nothing. I just saw that my cousin Xiao Se was here alone, so I wanted to ask if you need help."

Hearing this, Xiao Se glanced at the courtyard where Xiao Yan was from the corner of his eyes. He understood that this girl was afraid he would find out that Xiao Yan's cultivation had regressed. He then said calmly, "It's nothing. I just promised Xiao Yu that I would send her off when she goes to Jia Nan College."

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's smile widened, and it was not a fake smile at all. "Then you may be late, cousin Xiao Se. Cousin Xiao Yu packed up and went out early in the morning. I'm afraid she's about to leave. You may still have time to go now."

"Uh--" Xiao Se pulled the corner of his mouth, and a bunch of black lines appeared on his face. If he really missed this opportunity, he was afraid that the little girl Xiao Yu would come back next time and chase him with a sword to chop him.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Se turned around and rushed towards the gathering place outside the Xiao family and the Jia Nan College in Wutan City.

At the end, he didn't forget to leave a sentence: "Thank you!!!"

Seeing Xiao Se's panicked look, Xiao Xun'er smiled and couldn't help but murmur softly, "What an interesting person."

However, what Xun'er and Xiao Se didn't know was that on the second floor of Xiao Yan's courtyard, through the gap in the window, Xiao Yan watched the entire conversation between the two with gritted teeth.

Wutan City, the designated gathering point for freshmen of Jia Nan College.

At this time, Xiao Ning was holding Xiao Yu's hands, bidding her farewell, "Sister, I will miss you."

"Go away with your horniness and don't drop your tears and snot on me." Xiao Yu pushed away this disappointing brother with a look of disgust.

Xiao Ning wiped away his tears, lowered his head, and said with a somewhat lost look, "I understand."

Exhaling deeply, Xiao Yu said earnestly, "Okay, you're a grown man, don't cry easily. Also, don't always be jealous of Xiao Yan, you can't beat him. Learn from Xiao Se, who is mature and steady. Don't panic when things happen."

As she spoke, Xiao Yu glanced around, trying to find Xiao Se's figure.

"Uh" Xiao Ning's face turned dark. He was the only person in the Xiao family besides Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun'er who knew how powerful Xiao Se was.

In his understanding, this cousin, who was younger than him and whose cultivation level was one level lower than his, was terrifyingly strong in combat. He had challenged him privately several times but always ended up being beaten black and blue.

"Yu'er, it's time for us to set off."

Jia Nan College's freshman tutor Ruolin urged Xiao Yu.

"Oh, here it comes." Xiao Yu responded.

She looked for a long time but didn't see Xiao Se's figure. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn red. She bit her red lips and thought to herself, "Did that little pervert forget the time?" Damn it, I'll show you how I'll deal with you next time you come back.

At this moment, a familiar male voice came from far away and reached Xiao Yu's ears, "Xiao Yu, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw who it was. Tears began to flow from her beautiful eyes. Under the astonished gazes of Xiao Ning, Ruolin, and many other freshmen from Jia Nan College, she flew over and pounced on the person.

"You little pervert, I thought you forgot!"
