You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"In other words... because you and Lu Qingyan were unexpectedly reading the same book, she asked you to be her sparring partner, and you inadvertently showed that you were a little unwilling."

After listening to Lu Heng's calm description of what had just happened in the outer courtyard cafeteria.

Unable to resist, Lu Jinnian reached out and grabbed Lu Heng's shoulders tightly, feeling a little dizzy for a moment.

After finishing the spiritual food, Lu Heng did not rush back to his room to cultivate. Instead, taking advantage of the fact that the martial arts competition was tomorrow, he still had some time to come and ask Lu Jinnian questions, as he had accumulated many doubts in his mind.

"There's nothing I can do, I didn't want it to happen either." Lu Heng shrugged, indicating that he was innocent and didn't want things to develop this way.

Then he saw his friend helplessly lower his hands and lean against the wall as if he were paralyzed.

Why aren't you saying anything? Do you not like talking?

"Continue," Lu Jinnian's calm voice finally came after a long while.

"What puzzles me is..."

Before leaving, Miss Lu Qingyan said something that seemed to have some meaning. What did she mean by that?

Is it possible that this means I don't need to go to her for sparring tomorrow?

In this life, Lu Heng is just an ordinary person, and ultimately he is not familiar enough with the mindset of the upper class in this world.

"impossible.

Given Lu Qingyan's status, she wouldn't easily change her mind once she'd said something.

Unless you actually do something offensive, the other party's promise will not change.

"Otherwise, how could so many people be willing to curry favor with those masters?" Lu Jinnian said without hesitation.

"But it seems like no one is trying to curry favor with Lu Qingyan..." Lu Heng asked, puzzled.

"That's because she herself is unwilling. As the only granddaughter of the Second Steward, Lu Qingyan's status in the outer courtyard is much higher than you imagine."

Even ordinary members of the main family can't afford to offend her. "Lu Jinnian replied speechlessly.

In his view, his friend in front of him lacked common sense.

If it weren't for the fact that cultivation is more important right now, and that he knew the other person wasn't the type to cause trouble, he probably would have dragged the other person into a crash course.

"I see," Lu Heng replied, sounding unusually dejected.

"It seems there's no way to avoid trouble," he thought to himself.

Lu Jinnian, who had vaguely sensed this, was immediately furious.

"You're really taking your good fortune for granted."

"Lu Qingyan is the only granddaughter of the second steward of the family." He said indignantly.

"Let's leave it at that." Lu Heng shrugged, not intending to object.

You have to walk one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time.

Even if he has absolute confidence in his heart, he would not say that he is destined to surpass the Second Deacon at this stage.

This is what it means to have a clear understanding of oneself; otherwise, one will eventually meet a self-destructive end due to arrogance.

Unless his power has swelled to the point where no one in the world can destroy him.

"Should I follow Lu Qingyan around like a lackey?" Lu Heng asked again.

"That's not necessary. Lu Qingyan probably just thinks too highly of you; she has very high standards..."

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be without a single follower by my side now.

It's important to understand that the mentors you train in during your time at the Foreign Languages ​​Department are essentially the foundation of your future team.

Of course, it's also possible that their grandfathers have already made arrangements, so there's no need for them to look for followers in other departments who they need to promote themselves.

They completely look down on us students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

To be even slightly regarded by her is a very lucky thing.

Lu Jinnian casually revealed the harsh reality.

This is the truth.

As Lu Heng realized this again, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, he didn't show it this time, since he might get nagged again.

After asking questions about Lu Qingyan, Lu Heng then raised another question.

"Jin Nian, were those people dressed in fine clothes in the outer courtyard members of the main family?"

Why did they suddenly appear in the outer courtyard?

Of course, the reason he only discovered the presence of the main family members in the outer courtyard was nine days after taking out the loan.

It wasn't that they were blind before, but rather that the main family members had never appeared before, and it wasn't until the ninth day that they appeared in the outer courtyard's dining hall.

"Isn't this normal? You really lack common sense. As for why they're only showing up now?"

They should all be going to the family's sacred ground to awaken their family bloodline.

You've probably also noticed that there are a lot of people with blue eyes among the main family members.

It's not because they are all cultivation geniuses, but because they underwent a second bloodline awakening later in life.

Of course, after successfully awakening their bloodline, their talent was no less than that of ordinary cultivation geniuses.

Lu Jinnian explained in a complicated tone.

The gap is too big! So big it's despairing!

"If that's the case, then why do you say that Lu Mingze is the number one student in the outer courtyard?"

If I remember correctly, he should have referred to himself as a member of a branch family.

How can a member of a branch family be the first in a place where there is a Lord's family?

Lu Heng asked in confusion.

This was a question he had just had while he was in the cafeteria of the outer college.

He was aware that his doubts stemmed from a lack of a certain necessary condition, which is why he chose to come directly to ask Lu Jinnian.

"Of course they are cultivators from the Qi Refining Secret Realm, more influential than you imagine, Ah Heng."

Even within the main family, not everyone can become a cultivator at the Qi Refining Secret Realm level.

Furthermore, the head family members who have the hope of advancing to the Qi Refining Secret Realm will soon head to the inner courtyard of the family, attempting to pursue the legendary perfect-level "Basic Body Refining Method".

At the same time, Lu Mingze not only has the hope of advancing to the Qi Refining Secret Realm, but his father is also a steward in the branch family.

Even if his status is not as high as the Second Deacon's, it is definitely not much lower.

Lu Mingze is also talented, so it's not surprising that he became the top student in the outer academy.

Lu Jinnian patiently explained.

Lu Heng nodded, indicating that he understood.

He also recalled a small incident that had occurred at the Foreign Languages ​​Department cafeteria.

Lu Fengqing, who had been following Lu Jinnian all along.

After thinking about it, Lu Heng ultimately decided not to ask a question.

no need.

As a transmigrator with extraordinary abilities, he still needs to have basic self-confidence.

Being cautious is one thing, but being timid and hesitant over a small matter is quite another.

The trouble that Lu Fengqing could create could not possibly exceed his ability to defend against.

Since that's the case, let's face it head-on.

Another possibility is...

"Maybe I'm overthinking it?" Lu Heng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Sometimes it's one thing to harbor ill intentions, but whether you'll show them is another matter.

………………

Time flew by and the next day arrived.

Before dawn, Lu Heng arrived at the training ground.

At this moment, the young man from the Fen family, who had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, disappeared silently from the training ground.
