Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

285: Section 285”Yes, student obeys.” ”Hmm, that’s better.”

Su Qian nodded with satisfaction, then, as if having made a major decision, he said, ”How about this: to prevent you little monsters from causing trouble for the other ordinary students, once you pass the year-end assessment and officially enter the Inner Academy, I will personally designate an extra, separate cultivation area for you and allocate some special cultivation resources. In short, I will completely separate you from those ordinary students! That way, you won’t be together all day, where either you beat someone up, or someone finds you an eyesore and comes looking for trouble. Stop competing with them for those boring ranking lists!”

Yun Xiancheng nodded again, indicating he had no objections.

282 Instructor Ruo Lin is also entering the Inner Academy?

Su Qian looked at his current obedient, harmless appearance, then recalled the ruthlessness he showed earlier when he crippled someone’s cultivation at the slightest disagreement, and still felt uneasy.

He had a feeling this kid was a walking trouble-making machine, capable of causing some earth-shattering chaos at any moment.

He stroked his few goat-like whiskers and scanned the room. When he saw Instructor Ruo Lin standing quietly to the side, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his eyes.

That’s it! How could I have forgotten her! The one who tied the bell must untie it! Since this kid listens so well to Instructor Ruo Lin, wouldn’t it be perfect to let her manage him?

”How about this!” Su Qian slapped his thigh and said to Ruo Lin, ”Instructor Ruo Lin, I see that the batch of students you are currently leading is almost ready to graduate. Once this batch is finished, I will personally promote you to be an instructor in our Inner Academy, with the rank and treatment of a senior instructor! As for your work... it’s very simple. You don’t need to worry about other students; just focus specifically on managing this kid and keep a tight watch on him! Don’t let him cause any more trouble for me!”

”Me?” Ruo Lin was taken aback by the honor upon hearing this. She pointed at her own nose and said in disbelief, ”Grand Elder, this... this might be inappropriate, right? I recall that students in the Inner Academy have always relied on self-study and rarely need an instructor for specialized management, right? Moreover, my strength... I’m afraid it...”

Before she could finish, Yun Xiancheng immediately interrupted, ”Instructor Ruo Lin, I think this is excellent, it couldn’t be more appropriate!” He turned his head and stared with his incredibly clear eyes, full of sincerity and ”thirst for knowledge,” looking affectionately at Ruo Lin, ”Although this disciple was lucky enough to break through to the Dou King Expert Realm, I still have many doubts and questions on the path of cultivation. This disciple is dull and still needs a renowned teacher like you by my side, providing guidance and leading the way, so that I can walk further and more steadily. I hope Teacher will not look down on this disciple.”

Hu Jia, listening to his heartfelt and high-sounding words from the side, and seeing those ”sincere” eyes that were practically dripping with water, couldn’t hold back and let out a soft ”pfft” of laughter.

This guy... his skin is too thick! Calling himself dull... If he counts as dull, wouldn’t all the students in the entire Jia Nan Academy be idiots?

Ruo Lin was both annoyed and amused, and rolled her eyes at him helplessly. However, deep in her heart, she had absolutely no intention of objecting. For her, being able to accompany such a peerless genius at all times and witness him step by step reaching the peak of the continent—the sense of achievement and satisfaction brought by teaching a genius was indeed incomparable to teaching any number of ordinary students.

She glanced at Yun Xiancheng, her cheeks slightly flushed. ”Hmm... since it is the Grand Elder’s arrangement, this student... will naturally comply.” She finally lowered her head and agreed softly.

”Haha! Good! Then it’s settled!” Su Qian, seeing that he had finally arranged everything properly, felt a heavy stone lift from his heart and his mood brightened.

He said to Yun Xiancheng, ”Alright, this matter ends here. As for the Bai Family, you don’t need to worry too much. Although their family has some power, they dare not run wild on our Jia Nan Academy’s territory. We will step forward and help you settle this matter completely.”

Yun Xiancheng, however, smiled and shook his head. ”Many thanks for the Grand Elder’s kindness. However, as for the Bai Family, there is no need to trouble the Academy and you with it.” His voice was not loud, but carried a sense of confidence, ”This matter, after all, started because of me. I will personally help the school resolve this trouble completely. I ask the leaders not to worry about this matter any longer.”

”You?” Su Qian, hearing these words from Yun Xiancheng, had his face filled with suspicion and confusion, ”Kid, don’t you go messing around! The Bai Family is, after all, a Dou Zong family with deep foundations; it’s not something you can easily shake right now! What means do you have?”

”Hehe, as for that, it’s still a personal secret for now.” Yun Xiancheng smiled mysteriously, bowed again to Su Qian and Hu Gan, ”However, in about a few days, there should be definite news transmitted back to the Academy, right?”

He wore a gentle smile on his face and said in a sincere tone, ”This student still cares deeply, and thanks the leaders for their great love and protection. Xiancheng has no way to repay you, so I can only do some small things within my power to compensate for the mistake I brought to the Academy this time.”

”Fine, fine, you kid, your ideas are too big, and this old man is too lazy to manage you.” Su Qian looked at his confident appearance and could only wave his hand helplessly in the end, ”Then you should go back. Remember what I just said, behave yourself in the Academy!”

Yun Xiancheng nodded slightly to the two of them, acknowledging the command. Afterward, he turned around and cast his gaze toward Hu Jia, who had been secretly looking at him with a red face since earlier.

He asked with a smile, ”Hu Jia, Instructor Ruo Lin and I usually have private make-up lessons in the Class Two classroom. I wonder if you are interested in coming to listen as well?”

”Me?” Hu Jia was stunned by his sudden invitation, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason. Subconsciously, she wanted to refuse, but when the words reached her lips, they changed in a mysterious way.

Seeing her slightly turn her face away, not daring to meet his eyes, she said in a low voice, using a tone of feigned disgust that couldn’t hide her shyness, ”Who... who wants to have make-up lessons with you! However... considering you invited me so sincerely, this young lady will reluctantly accompany you, this kid who has been skipping classes for over two years, to have some make-up lessons!”

Yun Xiancheng looked at her cute, hypocritical appearance and smiled slightly at her. Afterward, he looked at Ruo Lin and said gently, ”Instructor, shall we... continue back to class?” ”Hmm... okay.” Ruo Lin nodded.

But then, they saw Yun Xiancheng naturally reach out and take her warm, soft hand. At the same time, his other hand, before Hu Jia could react, precisely took her hand that had a slight callus.

”You... what are you doing?!” Two women with completely different styles, yet equally beautiful, let out a simultaneous exclamation.

Yun Xiancheng, just like that, holding the two great beauties one on each side, walked out of the room with a calm expression, amidst their shy and angry gazes. Leaving only two dumbfounded old men, messy in the wind.

After a long time, Su Qian nudged the still-dazed Hu Gan beside him with his elbow. ”I say... Old Hu.” Su Qian lowered his voice and asked in a tone full of gossip, ”With this kid’s... behavior, he is not the type to commit to just one person for a lifetime. You say, handing your Jia’er over to him, is it... really okay?”

Hu Gan, upon hearing this, finally recovered from his shock. He looked in the direction his daughter disappeared, his face revealing an incredibly gratified, even ecstatic smile.

”Why wouldn’t it be? I think it’s definitely okay! It’s too okay!” Hu Gan slapped his thigh in excitement, ”So what if that kid has eight or ten wives? As long as I can marry off my precious daughter, and marry the right person! Even if I have to burn high incense and kowtow to the ancestors every day, I would be perfectly willing!”

283 Shadow walking in the darkness, serving her husband... so happy...

The Black-Corner Region, this land of chaos, even in the areas not far from an order beacon like Jia Nan Academy, the air was still permeated with a faint, unique scent mixed with the smell of blood and sulfur. The night, even more so, exposed its lawless essence to the fullest.

Behind a desolate rocky slope, a few bonfires flickered, casting shifting shadows on the faces of a group of people nearby. They were the people from the Bai Family who had just fled in a sorry state, filled with anger from the Jia Nan Academy.

”Hee hee. Hee hee hee. I’m a girl now... Like this... Like this, he’ll like me, right? Hee hee hee...” A creepy, foolish laughter drifted from the corner.

Bai Shan, once the high-spirited genius of the Bai family, was currently curled up on the ground.

He was wearing an ill-fitting Jia Nan Academy girl’s school uniform he had scavenged from somewhere. The light purple fabric was twisted and stained with dirt and drool.

His hair was as messy as a bird’s nest, and his face was painted with clumsy, terrifying makeup. He kept muttering nonsense, his entire being lost and his expression manic.

”What... what is going on with this brat?!”

Patriarch Bai looked at his son, who had been completely ruined and had even lost his sanity. His expression was so grim it seemed as if water could drip from it. He asked the surrounding clansmen irritably, his voice suppressing a monstrous rage.

A middle-aged man from the Bai family stepped forward and shook his head anxiously: ”Patriarch, Young Master Shan... he has been like this ever since he returned. I just tried to communicate with him, but he doesn’t recognize us at all. He just keeps giggling and muttering nonsense. I think his sanity has likely been completely destroyed.”

”Destroyed? The unicorn child of my Bai family’s generation, just like that... just like that, destroyed for no reason?!” Patriarch Bai smashed a fist fiercely onto the boulder beside him, causing the hard rock to crack instantly. ”Jia Nan Academy! Yun Xiancheng! If I, Bai Lie, do not avenge this, I swear I am not a man!”

”Patriarch, calm your anger!” another elder hurriedly advised. ”As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood. That brat still has those two old undying things from Jia Nan Academy protecting him. If we force it, we won’t gain any advantage. The urgent matter is to first safely send Young Master Shan home, then deliberate on a long-term plan!”

”Deliberate on a long-term plan? How can we deliberate on a long-term plan!” Bai Lie roared. ”When has my Bai family ever suffered such a huge loss! I...”

He took a long breath, seemingly wanting to suppress all his anger and humiliation back into his heart. After a long while, he used an incomparably cold, self-muttering tone to murmur:

”Forget it... let’s go home first. After we get home, immediately ask the Old Ancestor to come out of seclusion! My Bai family will, at all costs, make that brat and the Jia Nan Academy that protects him pay a bloody price!”

”Jia Nan Academy... having stayed in this peaceful greenhouse for too long, you have completely forgotten what kind of jungle the Black-Corner Region is, where the weak are prey to the strong.”

His voice drifted in the night wind, filled with resentment and killing intent. However, the very moment his voice fell.

A pitch-black shadow, seemingly completely merged with the night, silently, slowly, and elegantly emerged from the deepest darkness behind them.

That figure was so sudden, yet so natural, as if she had been standing there from the very beginning. There was no Dou Qi fluctuation, no leaking killing intent, and not even a slight breeze was stirred up.

”Wha...”

A Dou King Expert beside Bai Lie was the first to sense the fatal threat originating from behind. He had just wanted to open his mouth to warn them, but everything was already too late.

A thin, pure black sword light that seemed capable of completely devouring light flashed by like a grim reaper’s scythe reaching out from the Nine Nether Hell! Sla—!

The sound was very faint, yet it was extremely piercing to the ears of Patriarch Bai.

Bai Lie’s protective Dou Qi was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper before that strange black sword light. It couldn’t even put up a decent resistance before being easily and completely torn apart.

Immediately following that, the sword light passed through his heart from behind without any obstruction!

Patriarch Bai didn’t even have time to turn around to see the appearance of the person who had come.

He just looked down in disbelief, staring at the terrifying, bowl-sized hole in his chest that was continuously gushing blood and broken internal organs. His mouth emitted a ”kuh” sound, like an old, broken bellows.

Under the horrified gaze of all the Bai family members, his entire body was sliced open from the middle by that strange sword light, creating a huge and hideous wound.

”Who?!” ”Who... who is it?!!”

Only then did the rest of the Bai family finally react. They screamed in terror, hurriedly brought out their weapons, formed a circle back-to-back, and vigilantly stared at the mysterious woman in black walking slowly out of the darkness.

The woman held a uniquely shaped black longsword in her hand. There wasn’t even a drop of blood on the blade.

Her face, hidden beneath a veil, was expressionless, and her eyes were as cold as ten-thousand-year-old black ice.

The Bai family members could only see a blob of ink moving; they couldn’t see clearly...

”My Young Master said he hopes you can die understanding why.”

Ying spoke slowly in a flat tone, devoid of any emotion, as if stating a fact.

”But personally, I don’t want to tell you too much unnecessary nonsense. So, I can only say that you have provoked someone you shouldn’t have.”

”What?!”

The only remaining Dou Wang Elder, known as ”Uncle Hu,” revealed a look of unbelievable horror in his eyes when he heard the word ”Young Master.” He stared fixedly at the mysterious woman in black before him, and from the faint yet unfathomable aura emanating from her, he finally determined the strength of the person who had come!

This... this is a Dou Zong? How is that possible?!

Such a young Dou Zong, actually... actually calls someone else Young Master? That Yun Xiancheng, he... what exactly is his background?!

Uncle Hu’s brain was in chaos. Impossible! Whether it was the Xiao Family or that already dilapidated Cloud Mist Sect, it was absolutely impossible for them to have such a terrifying background! This is unreasonable! This is completely unreasonable!

However, Ying did not intend to give him any more time to think. ”The message has been delivered, go on your way in peace.”

The moment her voice fell, her figure, like a ghost, turned into a faint black smoke and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, she had already appeared behind that Dou Master Elder. ”Puh-wah!”

Without waiting for the opponent to react at all, the black longsword had already silently pierced through his heart. ”Obliterate!”

A cold word was spat out from Ying’s mouth. Subsequently, a one-sided, bloody massacre officially began on this desolate scree slope.

Now a newly advanced Dou Zong, when facing these Dou King and Dou Ling level opponents, it was truly no different from slaughtering chickens or butchering dogs. Especially after she had initially mastered the ability of space traversal, her assassinations became even more impossible to guard against, with nowhere to escape.

Her figure constantly flickered and jumped through space. Every time she appeared, she would take away a living life. That black sword light, under the cover of night, drew out fatal yet graceful arcs, like the Grim Reaper performing a magnificent musical movement.

Screams, pleas for mercy, the sounds of weapons clashing... very quickly, all returned to silence.

In just the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the envoys sent by the Bai family this time, from the Dou Huang Patriarch down to the Dou Ling guards, were killed cleanly by her, leaving no one behind.

A thick scent of blood permeated the night wind, pungent and nauseating.

Ying stood quietly amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood; her black clothes remained pristine. She slowly sheathed her sword, looking at the hellish scene she had single-handedly created. In those cold eyes, there was not only no discomfort but instead a hint of satisfaction and pleasure.

”This kind of dirty, bloody work of exterminating an entire family is exactly suitable for a ’Shadow’ like me who walks in the darkness year-round.”

”Existences as dazzling and pure as the sun, like my Husband and the Young Miss, they... only need to enjoy life and enjoy the light without any worries.”

Ying thought silently in her heart. Whenever she thought that everything she did was to better serve the Young Master and the Young Miss, and to be able to shoulder all their troubles and filth, a surge of indescribable, immense happiness and sense of accomplishment would well up in her heart.

”Being able to serve the Young Master and the Young Miss is really... so happy.”

She raised her head and glanced in the direction of the horizon. In those cold eyes, a hint of equally cold, sharp killing intent flashed. This was just the beginning.

Her figure moved, turning into a black streak of light, continuing to fly toward the depths of the Black-Corner Region.

She prepared to first find Lü Man and Purple Wing, who had already received the news, and rendezvous with them. Then, the three Dou Zong experts would go together to the city where the Bai family was located.

Since the Young Master said to make the Bai family pay a price, then leaving no one behind is the most thorough price. A few days later.

A shocking piece of news, like a hurricane with wings, quickly spread back to Jia Nan Academy.
