After introducing Xue Ni and the Xiao family to each other, they chatted for a while before heading inside. As they approached the large green tent, they saw more than a dozen men and women gathered in small circles, chatting casually. Judging by their relaxed demeanor, they were likely students of Jia Nan College, like Xue Ni.
Outside the shade of the tent, over twenty young men and women sat on the ground under the scorching sun. Despite the high temperature causing sweat to run down their faces, their expressions were filled with restraint, indicating they were freshmen who had just passed the preliminary test.
Inside the tent, several girls who were chatting suddenly looked up at Xiao Yu and her group as they entered. Surprise appeared on their faces, and they rushed over with smiles, surrounding Xiao Yu and chattering excitedly.
Mo Yu observed the young and beautiful female students and noticed that Xiao Yu seemed to have very good interpersonal relationships at the academy.
The sight of so many attractive women caused a surge of blood in Mo Yu's body, and a hint of red light flickered in the depths of his eyes. Fortunately, Mo Yu was not a rookie obsessed with appearances; the desire quickly faded and was suppressed.
"Hehe, what pretty little beauties," one of the girls said, her eyes scanning Xun'er and Xiao Mei. Unsurprisingly, the two girls' stunning looks amazed the women.
The girl's gaze then shifted to Mo Yu. While Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning were mature and handsome, they lacked the unique allure of Mo Yu.
"Hehe, what a handsome guy. Yu'er, is this your fiancé? Tell me, have you ever cheated on me?"
Hearing these provocative questions in front of everyone, Mo Yu, despite his determination, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly. Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others blushed, finding the topic too explicit for their comfort.
"Ah, stop joking!" Xiao Yu's pretty face turned red as she quickly covered the mouths of the teasing girls.
Just then, a man's voice interrupted, "Xiao Yu, it's been a while."
Everyone turned to see a young man in gray and white clothes standing behind them with a smile on his face.
The shyness on Xiao Yu's face gradually disappeared. She turned around, put her arm around Mo Yu's waist, glanced at the young man, and said coolly, "Rob, it's been a while."
"Hehe." The young man called Rob nodded with a smile. He glanced at the linked hands of Xiao Yu and Mo Yu, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness and anger.
"Haha, are these people with you?" Rob asked, approaching them.
"Yes," Xiao Yu replied casually. She introduced Mo Yu and the others again, smiling as she said, "I brought them here for the test."
"Oh, I see." Rob nodded with a smile and said, "Since they were brought by Xiao Yu, there's no need for further testing. I trust her judgment. Besides, you've only been in Wu Tan City for a few days, and the news of the Xiao family's twin dragons has spread far and wide.
I suppose the person you're holding is your fiancé, Mo Yu, one of the twin dragons of the Xiao family." Rob's gaze turned cold as he looked at Mo Yu.
Seeing this, Mo Yu realized that Rob was the persistent pursuer Xiao Yu had mentioned.
A hint of coldness flashed in Mo Yu's eyes. It was normal for Xiao Yu to be admired by others, given her outstanding appearance. However, Rob's apparent inability to accept rejection was quite annoying.
Wrapping his arms around Xiao Yu, Mo Yu, without having the chance to savor the intimate closeness, looked at Rob with indifference and said, "I am Yu'er's fiancé, Mo Yu. Do you have any advice for me?"
Xiao Yu's heart warmed at Mo Yu's sudden embrace. His warm heart and composed demeanor made her feel a deep sense of sweetness.
Seeing Mo Yu hugging Xiao Yu in public, Rob's forced smile faltered.
In the outer courtyard of Jia Nan College, everyone knew that Rob had been relentlessly pursuing Xiao Yu. Although Xiao Yu continually rejected him, Rob believed that persistence would win her over. But now Mo Yu had appeared.
Rob had heard of Mo Yu's impressive record—a first-grade alchemist who defeated a six-star fighter. While this was remarkable, Rob was not overly impressed. He had encountered many alchemists due to his family background and status, and he didn't see Mo Yu's achievements as particularly special, especially since he was only a one-star alchemist.
Although Rob was only a four-star fighter, his techniques and solid foundation made him as powerful as an ordinary six-star fighter. Furthermore, he had not witnessed Mo Yu's battle firsthand and suspected that Mo Yu might have used family guards to achieve his fame.
Rob looked at Mo Yu with ill intent and said, "I don't dare to give you advice, but I've heard Master Mo Yu has a great reputation in Wu Tan City. If Master Mo Yu joins Jia Nan College, he would be my junior. I wonder if I, as a senior, can have a sparring match with you."
The Xiao family members and the female students frowned, finding Rob's behavior excessive and inappropriate for a future senior.
Just as they were about to speak up, Mo Yu, still holding Xiao Yu, calmly said, "It's better to show respect than to refuse. If that's the case, let's have a sparring match."
The female students of Jia Nan College were surprised, but as they were about to advise against it, they noticed that everyone in the Xiao family, including Xiao Yu, seemed to be eagerly anticipating the upcoming match.
