Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"How could this happen?"

The sharp-faced young man was slapped and flew away by Little Lin, his face filled with confusion and helplessness.

He truly couldn't understand why, both being stripped to the bare, Ruan Yunyi could pass the examination, yet he was slapped away?

Just as puzzled was Yu Huaxian, who arched an eyebrow and looked at Little Lin coiled on the table, asking with confusion, "Little Lin, what exactly is going on here?"

Little Lin's amber eyes swept over Yu Huaxian, a human-like smile appeared on its face, "Are you asking me why I chose to accept him into my door upon seeing Ruan Yunyi's body?"

Yu Huaxian nodded.

Ruan Yunyi's talent and cultivation level were both insufficient to meet the standards of the Xiaoshanhe Institute.

That was precisely why...

he had been repeatedly turned away by the top ten sects.

Just now, Yu Huaxian and Little Lin had also seen that Ruan Yunyi's talent was lacking, which is why they started to refuse, until Little Lin saw Ruan Yunyi's body, then suddenly changed their minds.

This truly made Yu Huaxian unable to understand.

With a grin, Little Lin said, "You should directly ask boss when you see him! Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet such a guy; it's truly not a wasted trip... I sense the boss's aura; he should be back. I'll leave this place to you!"

As it spoke, Little Lin turned into a streak of light, vanishing within the examination grounds.

"Uh..."

Yu Huaxian's face was full of bewilderment.

...

Inside the separate courtyard.

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged.

He was now preparing to visualize the core object for his Martial Dao Fasxiang and could temporarily put aside other cultivations, murmuring with his eyes half-closed, "I wonder what Xiao Tianjiao's Martial Dao Fasxiang is like? How does it compare to the Iron Wing Chi Dragon and the Dragon and Tiger Seal?"

"Boss, come out quick!"

Little Lin's voice came from outside the door, as it rushed into the courtyard. Upon seeing Xiao Yi in cultivation, it climbed onto his shoulder, baring two sharp venomous teeth in a proud smile, saying, "Boss, I have a huge surprise for you!"

"A surprise?"

Xiao Yi was startled, teasingly replied, "You have a surprise for me? Are you sure it's not a scare?"

Little Lin said dissatisfiedly, "Boss, do I look like that kind of person? Hurry up and follow me, it's really a huge surprise, hehe..."

Little Lin wriggled to Xiao Yi's wrist, wrapping around it as they flew out toward the outside.

Xiao Yi said helplessly, "Don't pull, I'll go with you, okay?"

A moment later.

The two arrived at the martial arts field.

At this moment, there were already many new disciples who had passed the examination, gathering around sporadically.

In the center of the martial arts field stood ten square formations, neat and distinct, with not a sound from the thousands of people.

As if they were all one entity.

Each person's body was tense, statue-like, and completely still.

Standing between heaven and earth, like tens of thousands of divine swords slicing the sky.

Sharp beyond measure, proudly standing against the sky!

These were the disciples and functionaries of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, trained by Shadow Demon and others, and the disciples increasingly behaved with military-like order and discipline. This was what Xiao Yi demanded. In his view, if even the most basic discipline couldn't be ensured, how could the unity of a sect be elevated?

The new recruits watching the formations in the center of the martial arts field were all shocked and confused, "Isn't this too terrifying?"

"Why do I feel like I've entered a military camp?"

"No, they're even more terrifying than the soldiers in the military camp; in addition to terrifying discipline, each one of them is a genius!"

"With such strict discipline in the Xiaoshanhe Institute, plus the teaching of Hall Master Xiao and the elders, why wouldn't we be strong? It seems we made the right choice coming here..."

Amidst the whispering.

Ruan Yunyi, still hung up on what had happened before and feeling ashamed for passing the examination in such a manner, seemed to see increasingly strange looks from everyone around, "Ren, why do I feel like everyone's looking at me weirdly?"

Xiao Yun waved his hand with a smile, "You're overthinking it. No one cares about how you passed the examination!"

No sooner had he finished speaking.

In the crowd, someone pointed at Ruan Yunyi and whispered, "Have you heard? That unlucky star, Ruan Yunyi, actually stripped naked in front of the examiners, and only then did he pass the assessment and get into the Xiaoshanhe Institute!"

"No way? Could it be that the examiner has that kind of preference?"

"This Ruan Yunyi really knows how to go all out!"

Xiao Yun: "Uh..."

Ruan Yunyi, with a face as morose as if he were at a funeral, wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

Observing the despair on his face, Xiao Yun patted Ruan Yunyi on the shoulder and leaned in to whisper, "Little brother, your Ren would never harm you. These people are mocking you now, but they'll be tripping over themselves with envy later!"

"Envy me?"

Ruan Yunyi gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "Ren, I know you're just trying to comfort me... What's there to envy about me..."

Xiao Yun said, "Who knows, you might have caught the attention of some Hall Master, or even Xiao himself, and become their disciple?"

Before Ruan Yunyi could speak, a young man beside him with a scholar's fan and a graceful demeanor couldn't help but laugh, "Excuse me, I really couldn't hold it in..."

He bowed to Xiao Yun and Ruan Yunyi and then turned to the crowd, announcing loudly, "Did you all hear that? An old geezer in his seventies who's only in the Physical Body Realm, and a jinx who passed the assessment by stripping, are delusional enough to think about becoming disciples of Xiao! Hahaha..."

"Are you kidding me? Him becoming a disciple under Xiao?"

"He probably doesn't know who is under Xiao, right? Battle War Holy Body Ye Heng, the top genius in combat, Jin Feiyan, and even seven-star Array Masters and Alchemists are just nominal disciples..."

"For this jinx to think he could become a disciple under Xiao? That is sheer delusion!"

Facing the crowd's mockery.

Ruan Yunyi's face turned deathly pale, and he humbly bowed his head as though the weight of a towering mountain was pressing down on his spine, bending it.

But at that moment...

Slap!

A palm struck firmly against his back, straightening his increasingly hunched frame. Xiao Yun glared at the crowd, "Who said it's delusional? Dreams are necessary; what if they come true?"

The crowd mocked, "Dreams? He'll have to dream it in his sleep. Does he really think it will come true?"

"I'm dying of laughter..."

Ruan Yunyi felt his face burning with shame and heat. He tugged at Xiao Yun, "Ren, Ren, don't argue with them..."

Dragging Xiao Yun away by force.

All of this fell into Xiao Yi's eyes, and he felt a twinge of curiosity seeing the pair. Logically, with their talent, it would have been hard for them to pass the assessment. Yet here they were, and from what he could gather from the conversation, Ruan Yunyi even stripped in front of the examiners?

Little Lin, seeing Xiao Yi's confusion, grinned and said, "Boss, you've guessed what my present is, right?"

Xiao Yi, startled, frowned and said, "The kid just now?"

"Nailed it, boss!"

Little Lin smirked widely, flicking his tail toward Ruan Yunyi and proudly declared, "This guy is the disciple I picked out especially for you, boss. Can you tell what's so special about him?"

"Not a Sacred Body, and with his age, his cultivation talent can only be considered average..."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don't see it!"

Little Lin chuckled, looking triumphantly at Xiao Yi, "I'll call him over now!"

Shortly after.

A confused and excited Ruan Yunyi followed Little Lin to Xiao Yi.

The surrounding crowd, seeing Ruan Yunyi approaching Xiao Yi, were all baffled, "Isn't that Xiao himself? Could it be that Ruan Yunyi has really caught his eye?"

"No way? Is this jinx really going to become a disciple under Xiao?"

The handsome young man who had been ridiculing Ruan Yunyi and Xiao Yun earlier dropped his fan in shock, his face filled with disbelief: "How can this be? How could he possibly catch Xiao's eye..."

Xiao Yun, looking at him with a mocking smile, said, "I told you, dreams are necessary. What if they come true?"

"..."

The young man felt his face burning with a fiery sting.

As if he had just been slapped across the face dozens of times!

That hurt!
