The academy was built with such grandeur and luxury, its golden decorations almost blinding, rivaling even the palaces of some small countries.
The students who could study here were either rich or noble.
And not just ordinary rich or noble.
After school.
Youthful and beautiful boys and girls, wearing the uniforms of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, walked out.
Across the street, at the corner.
A handsome young man with maple-red hair leaned lazily against the wall, his eyes fixed on the students coming and going at the school gate.
He looked a bit like a street hooligan.
Just a handsome one.
"After staking out here for several days, I've finally confirmed the target."
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy, around thirteen years old, and a girl with distinctive green hair, there's only one."
Lin Xiao focused his gaze.
He saw a green-haired girl emerge from the school, surrounded by others like a moon surrounded by stars.
After leaving the school gate, they greeted each other and said goodbye.
Finally, Dugu Yan was left with only a silver-haired girl by her side.
The two walked together.
Lin Xiao walked up to them.
...
"Yan'yan, look, it's that little kid again!"
Ye Lingling was usually very aloof, and even more unapproachable at school, seeming difficult to get along with, but she was relatively cheerful when facing Dugu Yan.
She winked at Dugu Yan, signaling her to look across the street.
"Yan'yan, this little kid has been waiting here for days."
"Every time you appear, his eyes can't leave you."
"You're so charming, even a little kid can't resist, running all the way to our academy to stake you out!"
"Does he seem determined to confess today?"
Dugu Yan reached out, pretending to hit Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling quickly ran away.
Laughing crisply, she called out to Dugu Yan, "Younger ones are good, you can raise them however you like!"
"They'll be obedient when they grow up too!"
A hint of shyness appeared on Dugu Yan's aloof face as she chased after Ye Lingling.
"You little brat, I'll beat you to death."
"If you like him, take him home!"
"Why are you dragging me into this?"
Ye Lingling laughed, "That won't do, the one he likes isn't me, look, he's walking right up to you!"
Dugu Yan stopped chasing Ye Lingling.
Looking at Lin Xiao who had come up to her, she said softly:
"Little brother, is there something you need?"
Lin Xiao was stunned.
Because everything that was happening now was a huge deviation from his original plan.
Wasn't it Dugu Yan who was aloof and provoked him to get his attention?
Why is she being so nice to me? Lin Xiao tried hard to raise his head, wanting to look at Dugu Yan's face to find the answer, but he could only see the girl's two hemispheres! Damn it! Lin Xiao had calculated everything, but he missed one thing! He's only six years old right now, still just a child! Despite having the soul of an adult, in the eyes of others, he's just a little kid!
And a very handsome little boy at that!
Lin Xiao almost went berserk on the spot after realizing this.
He took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Um, you're Dugu Yan, right?"
"I want to see your grandfather."
After thinking about it, Lin Xiao decided not to provoke her.
He'll try to get through this with his cuteness first.
Dugu Yan was stunned, and she squatted down.
"Little friend, why do you want to see my grandfather?"
Ye Lingling also ran back at this time.
Because she was six years younger than in the original story.
She still preferred to play around.
As soon as she arrived, she teased Dugu Yan:
"He wants to see your parents, need you even ask?"
"He must be proposing marriage!"
Dugu Yan blushed and said angrily, "Lingling!"
"Don't teach the children bad things!"
Seeing that the two were about to start bickering again, Lin Xiao was afraid they would forget about him, so he quickly replied loudly, "I have a very important reason for finding Poison Douluo!"
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao decided to be a little more honest.
"Because I know the flaws of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul!"
"And, I have a way to solve the flaws of the Martial Soul!"
After saying that, Lin Xiao looked at Dugu Yan with a serious and sincere gaze.
"Pfft~"
As a result, Dugu Yan burst out laughing.
"Little friend, where are your family members?"
"Hurry home, this sister is leaving too."
She didn't even bother to acknowledge Lin Xiao's words!
Ye Lingling squatted down with great interest and pinched Lin Xiao's cheek.
"Little friend, it's okay to like big sister."
"No need to make up excuses."
"If Yan Yan doesn't agree, how about you consider me?"
After saying that, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan looked at each other.
"Giggle~"
Both of them burst into clear laughter! Lin Xiao's face darkened.
He knew it!
Sure enough, sincerity will always make you a clown, only routines can win people's hearts!
These teenage girls are so annoying! Laugh, laugh, what's so funny! Especially Ye Lingling, who's pinching his face, try pinching him again? Lin Xiao turned dark!
His face turned cold, and he slapped away Ye Lingling's hand that was mauling him.
She coldly said to Dugu Yan:
"Dugu Yan, right? I think your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is a useless Martial Soul, and your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is the most garbage poison in the world. I, Lin Xiao, formally challenge you!"
I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the gutter! I still have to provoke hatred and fiercely amaze these two little girls! Dugu Yan was stunned.
This little loli in front of her actually issued a challenge to her?
In principle, she shouldn't bother with a child, but Lin Xiao's words that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is a useless Martial Soul, and that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is garbage poison, made Dugu Yan take it to heart.
Her eyes turned cold, and a pair of emerald green eyes looked at Lin Xiao coldly.
"Little kid, say that again?"
Ye Lingling also looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.
"Little kid, are you crazy? Talking about someone else's Martial Soul, they will take it seriously!"
What Lin Xiao wanted was for Dugu Yan to take it seriously.
Otherwise, how would she be convinced? "I'll repeat it again, Dugu Yan, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison you are so proud of is useless in my eyes. I formally propose a duel to you!"
"The loser must agree to one condition of the winner!"
Lin Xiao met Dugu Yan's cold eyes, fearless.
Dugu Yan was really laughed at out of anger.
She didn't care how old Lin Xiao was, she had to teach this brat a lesson today! Let him know that you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!
"Okay, I'll bet with you."
"But I have a request."
Dugu Yan sneered:
"The loser must agree to three conditions of the winner!"
