We are good friends now, and when we enter Flying Leopard Academy tomorrow, we'll be classmates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, we're not uncultured people who would fight randomly. How could we do such a thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two said as they walked over to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou, taller than Chen Cangshan by half a head, pulled Chen Cangshan into a hug, smiling cheekily at the two guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two patrolling guards paused; they didn't want to escalate the situation, especially since Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan hadn't started fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll warn you, there's no fighting allowed in Flying Leopard Town. If caught, we will definitely impose severe punishment without leniency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, we won't be so reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan quickly turned from enemies into brothers, creating an oddly comedic scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao couldn't help it, letting out a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bing'er laughed too:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Fatty, you're amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou winked at Bing'er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two patrolling guards turned and left the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou released Chen Cangshan from his embrace and snorted coldly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really just want to choke you sometimes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you pigheaded dolt, can't help yourself huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards hadn't left the building yet and turned to glare at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou quickly pulled Chen Cangshan into a hug again, giggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards shook their heads and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou returned to Yang Xiao's table, grabbed a cup of wine, and downed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it weren't for those guards today, I would have smashed your pig head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cangshan stood, speaking fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou slammed his cup, attempting to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you two done yet? It's just over a woman, is it really worth it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern owner came over and looked at the crushed tables and chairs, told Chen Cangshan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gentlemen, you will have to pay for these damages, or else I'll have to inform the guards you saw earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty crystal coins per set of tables and chairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll give you two hundred, is that sufficient?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, that's more than enough, thank you, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cangshan settled the bills for the drinks and compensated for the furniture before leaving the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twenty or so people who fled the tavern earlier were now standing in the street, surrounding Chen Cangshan as he emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen, are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen bro, everything okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's all that damned fatty's fault, really want to gut him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew Chen would be alright, the guards were just making a big fuss out of nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gathered around Chen Cangshan, flattering him endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cangshan forced a smile, recalling how none of these folks helped him earlier and felt a bit bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao, however, sent Bing'er to bring the guards in at the crucial moment, not only stopping their impulsiveness but also cleverly rescuing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cangshan glanced at everyone, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I'm feeling a bit tired and want to rest at the inn. You all can make your own arrangements for the evening, don't wait up for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he left with the two guards to the inn across the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, despite the incessant flattering, Chen Cangshan still organized a get-together with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, though, Yelu Caiyun claimed she was unwell and didn't join their gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, everyone woke up early, had breakfast, packed their luggage, checked out, and headed to the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou and Yang Xiao ate breakfast together, seemingly a bit downcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Yang, we share a bond, I really like you. It's a pity we must part ways.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao shivered inexplicably, feeling goosebumps, chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fatty, sorry, I'm not into men. Please do not fancy me, go like your Caiyun girl instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou snorted with laughter,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Brother Yang, enough kidding around, let's part ways here. We shall meet again if fate allows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao paused,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou bowed slightly to Yang Xiao,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Farewell, take care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned and ran off towards the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao wanted to call out to Gao Lou, but he was already gone, likely eager for his first day at Flying Leopard Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao shook his head, said to Bing'er:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go pack our things; we need to leave too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two packed their bags, checked out, and left the inn, heading for the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing by a clothing shop, Yang Xiao took Bing'er inside, bought a few pretty outfits for Bing'er, and conveniently got a few new clothes for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the town, there was a small Genetic Store that Yang Xiao walked into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, do you have any Space Rings?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir, how many slots do you need? We have options with 30 slots, 40, 50, and 60.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much for a 60-slot ring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 30-slot rings are one million crystal coins, with each additional slot costing more. A 60-slot Space Ring is three million and ten thousand. I'll waive the extra; just pay three million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, give me one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao swiped his card for the transaction, then handed the Space Ring to Bing'er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bing'er blankly stared at Yang Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao smiled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the confusion? This is for you. Wear it; in the future, you can easily store your clothes and daily necessities, and even snacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bing'er could hardly believe her ears. Three million crystal coins! Yang Xiao spent that much on a Space Ring for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, is it really for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who else would it be for? I already have one myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao showed her the Space Ring on his own finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bing'er received the ring, eyes moist with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A child from a poor family grows up quickly; seven-year-old Bing'er had followed her grandfather, working hard into the night selling goods, earning just one or two hundred crystal coins a night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never imagined she would wear such an expensive ring one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only Grandpa and Caixia sister were here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bing'er choked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao felt a pang in his heart, gently hugged Bing'er, softly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bing'er, Grandpa and sister are gone. Living well is the best memory of them. I believe they would want us to be happy, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bing'er nodded, wiping away her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao helped Bing'er put on the ring and taught her how to control it with her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bing'er hadn't activated Genetic Evolution, and her mind was weak. Yang Xiao patiently taught Bing'er several times until she successfully grasped how to use the Space Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Bing'er mastered the Space Ring, she became ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao bought her some clothes, daily necessities, and small snacks, all stored within the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the square, Chen Cangshan and the others had already arrived, with a total of thirty-six people including their servants, most of whom were young masters and ladies bringing a servant along with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cangshan had two followers with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao and Bing'er arrived late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lou first looked surprised, then became slightly excited when Yang Xiao appeared, stepped forward, hugged Yang Xiao tightly, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Yang, didn't we already say goodbye? Why did you come again to see me off? You're so good to me, it's truly touching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>MMP, who said I'm here to see you off?
