Chapter 93: Lan Ba Academy

Yu Tianyun returned to the small courtyard, and Xiao Yue and the other maids led him to the dining hall.

Then the three maids continuously brought the carefully prepared dishes one by one. Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Zhu Yun were already seated at the table.

Seeing the dishes all served, Yu Tianyun said, "Xiao Yue, you all sit down and eat together."

Xiao Yue's face showed hesitation, and she whispered:

"Young master, this isn't quite right!"

Yu Tianyun, with an indifferent expression, said:

"It's fine, we used to eat like this before, didn't we?"

Xiao Yue still hesitated and did not move. At this moment, the well‑behaved big cat Zhu Zhu Yun stood up and pulled Xiao Yue and the others to sit down. She felt a close affinity to Xiao Yue's aura and smiled, saying:

"From now on we're family, don't be so formal. At home there's no distinction of rank or status!"

"Yes, Sister Zhu Yun is right; from now on we're sisters. When that scoundrel bullies us, we must unite!"

Ning Rongrong also said with a grin.

Only Zhu Zhuqing, because of her cool temperament, remained silent, but she nodded vigorously to show her stance.

Then the three of them sat down peacefully and enjoyed the meal together.

This meal was extremely enjoyable for Yu Tianyun. "Ah, tomorrow we will leave the sect!"

"Young master, you just returned and now you're leaving again; where are you going this time?"

Xiao Yue asked with lingering reluctance.

Yu Tianyun smiled lightly and said:

"Don't worry, this time I'll take you all with me. Next, we're heading to Lan Ba Academy! I'm entering the continent‑wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition two years from now! Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhu Yun, you should join the academy with me! Then I'll lead you to claim the championship!"

The women heard Yu Tianyun's words, and hopeful light flickered in their eyes.

Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly:

"Great, great, following Brother Tianyun, we'll surely shine in the competition!"

Zhu Zhu Yun smiled and replied:

"With you leading, we naturally have full confidence."

Zhu Zhuqing bowed slightly, her eyes showing determination:

"Since it's decided, we'll give it our all."

Xiao Yue obediently said, "Young master will definitely win the championship."

Xiao Yu and A Li both nodded in agreement with smiles; being able to go with Yu Tianyun made them overjoyed.

Under the bright moon, the seven who had finished dinner naturally needed to exercise to aid digestion.

Today Ning Rongrong and her group gained three more allies, so they wouldn't let Yu Tianyun off. She wants to avenge the recent "humiliation" she suffered, otherwise she couldn't live up to her "Little Witch" title.

Thus, she led the charge against Yu Tianyun, and a fierce "deadly battle" was sparked.

Having fought countless battles, Yu Tianyun was unafraid and countered every move.

Dealing with someone like Ning Rongrong, who has a strong appetite for food, he easily subdued her, and thereafter Ning Rongrong allowed herself to be manipulated, daring not to resist at all.

Among his current opponents, the strongest in combat power is undoubtedly Zhu Zhu Yun, since her soul power cultivation is the highest, her body is fully matured, and her combat techniques are the most extensive.

She can expend only minimal force yet drain a great amount of Yu Tianyun's stamina, still managing to put some pressure on him.

There is also Xiao Yue; Yu Tianyun can now be certain that she has a special constitution.

No wonder when he first clashed with her he was easily subdued, causing the inexperienced him to doubt himself, even for a period he couldn't lift his head before her, feeling extremely inferior.

But now Yu Tianyun's confidence has returned; he says he can still fight ten more! This battle lasted a long time, exactly how long no one knows.

In short, Yu Tianyun and they are both physically and mentally refreshed. After this fight, Yu Tianyun's mastery of distraction control has become more proficient. He believes that soon he will fully recover to his normal cultivation speed.

The next morning, everyone packed their belongings and set out on the journey to Lan Ba Academy.

This time, with so many people, Yu Tianyun couldn't carry them all by flight, so he chose to travel by carriage.

Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, and the group chatted and laughed. Yu Tianyun occasionally narrated strange anecdotes from the Soul Master World, prompting the women to gasp or laugh.

After several days of travel, they finally arrived at Tiandou City.

Tiandou City was extremely bustling; every street was paved with blue bricks, each wider than the main avenue of Sotto City! One can imagine how magnificent the whole city is.

Lan Ba Academy is located within Tiandou City; opening the academy inside the city is naturally thanks to the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect's support.

Its scale is about one‑third that of Tiandou Royal Academy, yet establishing the academy in the city costs as much as Tiandou Royal Academy.

Moreover, Lan Ba Academy only admits civilians, its teaching is rigorous, so its reputation is considerable.

Without further inquiry, Yu Tianyun found the location of Lan Ba Academy.

The gate tower of Lan Ba Academy looked almost as large as Tiandou City's city gate; though slightly slender, its entrance was still about ten meters high.

The gate tower, carved from white marble, wasn't extravagant but was elegant and imposing, clearly the result of considerable effort.

Eight gilded characters on the tower read "Lan Ba Advanced Soul Master Academy," shining brightly.

Yu Tianyun couldn't help but sigh, his family is still quite wealthy!

At the entrance of Lan Ba Academy, Yu Tianyun found the reception desk beside the gate tower, took out an identity token, and handed it to a middle‑aged Soul Master in charge, saying: "I am Yu Tianyun of the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect, here to see your director Liu Erlong!"

The receptionist clearly had some insight and knew some background of the academy, but recalling the director's short temper made him shiver, so he dared not lead the person directly, and respectfully said:

"Please wait a moment, I'll report this."

Soon, that middle‑aged Soul Master brought a teacher over. The teacher bowed and then respectfully said:

"I am Yin Shu, a 54th‑level strong‑attack battle Soul Master, I've met Young Master Tianyun, I will now escort you to see the director."

Yu Tianyun, slightly surprised, asked:

"Are you also a sect member?"

Yin Shu immediately replied respectfully:

"I am sent by Elder Two to assist the director in managing the academy."

Yu Tianyun understood clearly and said:

"Oh, then I'll be obliged if you lead the way."

"Young Master Tianyun, please."

Afterwards, led by Yin Shu, Yu Tianyun and the women entered the academy.

The moment they stepped into the academy, they immediately drew the sideways glances of many students.

"Who is this? Bringing so many beauties along."

"Looking at his demeanor, he must not be an ordinary person."

"I'm so envious! What merit does that kid have to have so many lovely companions?"

"Another whore‑faced slut!"

……

All the way, the chatter of Lanba Academy's students rose and fell.

Yu Tianyun paid no mind, silently observing the surroundings.
