"Sorry, I'm not interested in Jia Nan College."
Mo Yu's calm declaration stunned everyone present.
In the Douqi Continent, especially in the three major empires nearby, Jia Nan Academy is a dream destination for every aspiring boy and girl. This is why the enrollment team of Jia Nan College is so popular whenever it arrives. The academy boasts excellent instructors, superior martial arts and fighting skills, and valuable personal connections. Graduating from Jia Nan College is seen as a guarantee of a bright future.
So, hearing someone express disinterest in Jia Nan College was unprecedented and left the atmosphere feeling awkward. Even the usually gentle Mentor Ruolin frowned.
"Teacher Ruolin, hehe, Yu'er misses you so much!"
Noticing the tense atmosphere, Xiao Yu rushed to the gentle woman and embraced her plump but not overweight waist with a smile.
"Haha, Yu'er, did you have a good vacation?" Mentor Ruolin held Xiao Yu and the awkward atmosphere began to dissipate. She smiled and her frown gradually relaxed.
"Not bad," Xiao Yu said playfully, glancing at Mo Yu with embarrassment. She felt awkward that he had rejected Jia Nan College so bluntly, though she was relieved to have a good relationship with Teacher Ruolin.
"You're becoming more and more gentle, Teacher. At this rate, the man you like in the future will probably be completely captivated by you," Xiao Yu teased, biting Teacher Ruolin's delicate earlobe.
A faint blush appeared on Teacher Ruolin's face as she shook her head helplessly. She patted Xiao Yu's head affectionately, then turned to Mo Yu and the others. "Did you bring these people? They are all very impressive, but your fiancé seems to have a low opinion of Jia Nan College."
"Ah… this," Xiao Yu began, feeling embarrassed, "He has other matters to attend to and can't join Jia Nan College at the moment."
Although Xiao Yu wasn't entirely sure about Mo Yu's thoughts, she understood that someone with such strength and skill might look down on Jia Nan Academy.
"Really? But I can't give up on such a talented individual," Mentor Ruolin said with a determined gaze.
Shaking her head, Ruolin let go of Xiao Yu, walked forward, and said to the freshmen under the scorching sun, "Dear students, come in."
The freshmen, sweating under the intense heat, were overjoyed. They quickly hurried into the shade of the tent.
Mentor Ruolin scanned the crowd with a gentle smile and then focused on Mo Yu. She said softly, "Rob didn't have any ill intentions. He was just a bit upset earlier and acted rashly. Don't hold it against him."
"It's fine. If he doesn't learn his lesson, I don't mind teaching him again. But next time, I can't guarantee I'll hold back," Mo Yu said calmly, his words carrying a hint of cold intent.
The hidden menace in Mo Yu's words surprised everyone. They realized that, despite his youth, he was far from just a bright-eyed youth; he was shrewd and formidable.
The female students looked at Xiao Yu with envy, admiring her for having such a remarkable fiancé.
Xiao Yu walked with a confident stride, her face flushed with pride as she looked at Mo Yu. Xiao Ning gradually set aside his previous arrogance and began to feel proud of his brother-in-law.
Xiao Mei observed the indifferent Mo Yu with a tinge of jealousy and then glanced enviously at the beautiful Xiao Yu.
Teacher Ruolin, after recovering from her initial shock, continued to stare at Mo Yu with a mix of admiration and desire. The aura of genius surrounding Mo Yu was undeniable, and she felt that someone like him must be recruited by Jia Nan College.
Rob, standing by, was visibly shaken by Mo Yu's revealed strength. What kind of freak had he provoked?
Xiao Yan and Xun'er exchanged glances, their shock matching that of everyone else. Xun'er, a six-star fighter herself, found it hard to believe that Mo Yu, despite his apparent youth, had surpassed her.
Xiao Yan felt a surge of determination, vowing not to fall too far behind his cousin Mo Yu.
As Xiao Yu looked at Mo Yu, her eyes sparkled with pride, while Xiao Ning began to silently accept and be proud of his brother-in-law. Xiao Mei, however, watched Mo Yu with a mix of admiration and envy, especially as she looked at the stunning Xiao Yu.
