Chapter 362 Making Things Difficult

"Get lost, you lecherous woman, don't flirt with me." With a slightly flushed face, she pushed away the woman in her arms. Seeing that other women were about to surround her, Xiao Yu quickly stepped back, pointed at Jing Chen and the others, and hurriedly introduced them, thus dispelling the women's flirtatious intentions.

"Hehe, what beautiful little beauties." Their gazes swept over Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er, and unsurprisingly, their outstanding looks amazed the women.

His gaze swept over Xiao Yan again, finally settling on Jing Chen. This person wore a mask, but the long white hair and the eyes beneath the mask indicated that this masked person was no ordinary individual.

"Hehe, Yu'er, tell us honestly, who is this? We don't believe he's your friend, so tell us honestly, it can't be...?"

Hearing these women ask such audacious questions right in front of the person involved, Jing Chen was dumbfounded. His lips twitched slightly. "I'm wearing a mask, and they still have the nerve to flirt with me? Are you kidding me?"

Hearing the women's teasing, Xiao Yu's pretty face was filled with embarrassment and helplessness. Just as she was about to explain, she caught a glimpse of a man's figure hurrying towards her.

Xiao Yu's pretty face changed slightly. She frowned slightly, then relaxed, and a blush of shyness appeared on her pretty face. She said coquettishly, "Don't make fun of him. He's always been shy."

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, the women were stunned. Looking at Xiao Yu's unprecedentedly shy appearance, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They had only been joking, but Xiao Yu came out to explain with a shocked expression, and her tone... was almost like she was helping her lover out of an awkward situation.

Xiao Xun'er and the others were also confused by Xiao Yu's intimate tone. They exchanged glances, all taken aback. Were Mu Chen and Xiao Yu really that close?

Jing Chen stared blankly at Xiao Yu, wondering what was up with her actions this time. And what was with that shy expression? Explain yourself, or we're in trouble.

Jing Chen now realized he was in deep trouble, really deep trouble. At this point, rather than getting into trouble, he'd better quickly explain himself.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu quickly reached out and grabbed Jing Chen's wrist, affectionately brushing the dust off his clothes with her delicate hand.

"Ah..." The people around Xiao Yu were stunned by her sudden action. When had they ever seen Xiao Yu treat a man like this?

"Xiao Yu, you... it's been a long time." Just as everyone was in a daze, a man's voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing the voice, everyone turned their heads to look, and a young man dressed in gray and white clothes was standing behind them with a big smile on his face. The young man was quite handsome, but his bright smile always made Jing Chen and the others feel that it was a little fake.

Jing Chen looked up and saw that this guy with the fake smile must be the "famous" Rob. He had overheard Xiao Yu and the others' conversation. It wasn't that Jing Chen didn't want to help Xiao Yu, but helping might expose his identity, even though Rob was just a nobody to him. Jing Chen's only goal today was to pass the test as soon as possible and leave this place.

Xiao Yu's blush slowly faded. She turned around, her arm still linked with Jing Chen's, glanced at the young man, and said indifferently, "Luo Bu, it's been a long time."

Knowing there was no way to escape, Jing Chen didn't care and decided to help her.

"Hehe." The young man, known as Rob, nodded with a smile. His gaze seemed to casually glance at the two people's hands clasped together, but when he looked at Jing Chen, a hint of coldness and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe, are these the people you brought?" Rob asked with a smile as he stepped forward.

"Hmm." Nodding casually, Xiao Yu introduced the group again and smiled, "I brought them here for the test."

"Oh, I see." Nodding with a smile, Rob pulled out a fist-sized red crystal ball from his pocket, raised it, and laughed, "Instructor Ruolin just gave me a testing crystal, so let them try it out. All the other testing crystals have been taken to the testing passage ahead. If they don't need mine, they'll have to wait a while longer."

"Great, thank you very much, brother. You're a really good person," Jing Chen said to Luo Bu with a smile.

Xiao Yu stared blankly at Jing Chen, seemingly never expecting that Jing Chen wouldn't expose him in front of him.

Jing Chen could clearly see that Rob's smiling lips twitched, but he still maintained his smile and explained to Jing Chen, "This test crystal is very simple. As long as your strength reaches the eighth level of Dou Qi, it will automatically light up. That way, you will have passed the preliminary test."

Jing Chen leaned closer to Xiao Yu and whispered, "Aren't you going to let go?"

"Oh." Xiao Yu came back to her senses and obediently let go of her hands. Seeing her obedient appearance, Rob's hand holding the crystal ball tightened even more.

Jing Chen said to Xiao Yan and the others, "Please go first."

Xiao Yan and the others simply nodded. Xiao Yan stepped forward first, followed closely by Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Mei. Seeing that the three had succeeded, Jing Chen no longer doubted anything. He casually touched the crystal ball, and it lit up as well.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't have brought them in without permission if they hadn't reached the threshold." Xiao Yu said calmly as she watched the four of them succeed.

"Hehe, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just the rules." Luo Bu smiled apologetically at Xiao Yu, put away the crystal ball, pointed to the men and women sitting on the ground under the scorching sun outside, and smiled at Jing Chen and the others: "Congratulations on passing the preliminary test. Now, please stay outside for half an hour."

"Luo Bu, what do you mean by this?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned and coldly retorted with an icy expression.

"Xiao Yu, you're a veteran student now, you should know this is a rule from the admissions process. Hehe, the new recruits these days are getting more and more impetuous, so it's good to temper their arrogance during the admissions process, it will benefit their life in the academy later," Luo Bu laughed.

"Hmph, Rob, I don't care what you say to those ignorant freshmen, but don't try to apply these stupid rules to the people I brought!" Xiao Yu said coldly.

"That's the rule."

Rob's lips twitched. Xiao Yu's blatant rebuke of him in front of everyone made him feel angry and resentful.

"Rob, you'd better stop causing trouble. You know perfectly well that these rules are dispensable, so why make such a fuss?" The women around him also frowned, disapproving of his behavior of making a big deal out of nothing.

"Hehe, sorry, they passed the test under my supervision. According to the rules, I should temporarily take charge of them during this period." Luo Bu laughed brightly, but seeing that Xiao Yu was about to get angry again, he suddenly changed his tone: "Alright, for your sake, they don't all have to go out. Let one person represent them. Uh... let me see. Let... let this young man go out. Hehe, anyway, he's a grown man, so he doesn't have to worry about getting a tan." His fingers slowly moved over the group of people, and finally stopped with a smile in front of Jing Chen.
