Chapter 1812 That’s Your Sister-in-law

“You… you bunch of cowards!”

Seeing how these people reacted, Chu Lingxi trembled with rage.

Lu Xueman, however, waved her hand, “I don’t care about any of that. The truth doesn’t matter. What matters is that he is my man, and no matter what he did, none of you are allowed to touch him.”

These words were incredibly domineering, shaking everyone to their core.

Duan Wei’s heart sank. Could it be that she and that young man truly had a special relationship? But how was that possible?

How could the proudest beauty casually fall for a young Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Initial Stage?

But the truth was right before their eyes. Lu Xueman was protecting Ye Bufan, and no one could do anything about it. He was only ranked twenty-third on the Heaven List, and in terms of cultivation and status, he couldn't compare to her.

Just then, a lazy voice came from beside them, “Senior Lu, you’re being a bit unreasonable.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a casually dressed young man walking in. It was Fan Xiaofeng, ranked second on the Heaven List.

He had originally been watching the show from the pavilion, but upon seeing Lu Xueman suddenly appear, he knew that Duan Wei couldn't handle it and had to step in himself.

No matter what, today's matter could not be left unfinished. Otherwise, not only would he not get the benefits from Du Lang, but he would also lose face.

The most crucial point was that he had previously suppressed Lu Xueman, ranking second on the Heaven List, and now he had made further progress, reaching the Half-step Void Transformation Realm. This was the source of his confidence.

Moreover, he had recently heard news that Lu Xueman had been injured while obtaining the Golden Scale Fire Python, and the fire poison might not be completely removed for a while, preventing her from exerting her full strength.

Although the gap between the two of them was minuscule before, if one’s strength increased while the other’s decreased, he was confident of victory in another confrontation.

Seeing Fan Xiaofeng appear, the crowd once again burst into an uproar.

One must know that this was the second-ranked on the Heaven List. To many students, he was like a god, a strong Cultivator who was completely out of reach.

So, as he walked through, the students present all retreated, directly clearing a wide path for him. This was born out of reverence for a strong Cultivator.

Chu Lingxi’s heart sank to the bottom when she saw Fan Xiaofeng appear. With his appearance, things were going to get troublesome.

Lu Xueman, however, was unfazed. Her gaze was sharp as she looked over, “So what if I’m being unreasonable?

Today, I’m telling all of you, Ye Bufan is my man, and none of you can lay a finger on him.

And (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) he is definitely entering Cangfeng Academy. There’s no need to look at the assessment results. As an Inner Courtyard student in the top ten of the Heaven List, I have the right to directly recommend him into the Academy.”

Her words were powerful and resonant, once again demonstrating the domineering aura of a strong Cultivator.

Ye Bufan, meanwhile, listened with a bewildered expression, not understanding what Lu Xueman meant by directly entering the Academy.

Chu Lingxi noticed his confusion and came over to whisper, “This is the privilege of the top ten on the Heaven List at Cangfeng Academy. As Inner Courtyard students in the top ten, each person has the right to internally recommend two students.

The Academy will accept them unconditionally, without needing to participate in the assessment.”

It turned out this was a recruitment strategy of Cangfeng Academy. On the surface, it gave the Inner Courtyard students unique treatment, making them feel honored, but in reality, the Academy also benefited.

Because generally speaking, those in the top ten of the Heaven List were all favored by heaven. Those they deemed worthy would absolutely not be ordinary people. Even if they entered the Academy without passing the assessment, they would not be worse than others, and might even achieve greater accomplishments.

“Oh!”

Only then did Ye Bufan understand what was going on. If he had known there was such a shortcut, it would have been much better to just rely on a woman and enter the Academy directly. Why bother coming here and enduring others' expressions?

Then, he pulled Jiang Fangzhou and looked at Lu Xueman again, “Uh, wife, this is my friend. You might as well recommend him into the Academy too. Anyway, that spot would be wasted if not used.”

In fact, from the moment their relationship became a reality, he had already considered Lu Xueman his woman, and he wouldn't be polite at all now.

“Wife!”

These two words were like a thunderclap, stabbing many male students’ hearts. The girl they admired had actually become someone else’s wife.

Lu Xueman turned her head and glanced at him, showing no excessive reaction.

Since she was willing to stand up for him and even claim him as her man, it showed that she had already accepted Ye Bufan internally.

As a woman with extreme pride, she had never thought of finding a second man in her life.

Moreover, this man in front of her was not bad. Not only did he save her life, but his extraordinary Medical skill was already enough to look down upon the entire Kunlun Continent, far surpassing anyone else in Cangfeng Academy.

“Yes!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Xueman agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Fangzhou was first stunned, barely believing his ears, followed by uncontrollable ecstasy.

Originally, this was his last chance to participate in the assessment (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), and he was severely injured, having completely fallen into despair. Yet, he never expected to now easily enter Cangfeng Academy.

This experience was like a roller coaster for him. Amidst such great joy and sorrow, tears streamed down his face.

“Ye Dage, thank you! Senior Lu, thank you!”

Jiang Fangzhou bent his knees, ready to kneel before the two, but Ye Bufan pulled him up.

“I’m your big brother, what’s there to thank? That’s your sister-in-law, no need to be polite either!”

The people nearby stirred again. Some were heartbroken that their goddess had fallen, while many new students were incredibly envious.

“Oh my god, if I had known following this guy meant I could get a free ride, why would I have fought so hard…?”

“It’s infuriating when you compare people! He can enter Cangfeng Academy just like that…”

“I’m so envious! If I had known, I would’ve gotten close to that guy too and enjoyed a free ride…”

Those students with bruised faces, seeing Jiang Fangzhou enter Cangfeng Academy so easily, were all green with envy.

Fan Xiaofeng’s expression showed no change, but he was extremely displeased in his heart.

If this guy entered Cangfeng Academy just like that, then his mission would have failed.

Not only would he not get the benefits from Du Lang, but he would also lose face at Cangfeng Academy. He naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen.

“Senior Lu, I suppose it’s been a year since our last match. Are you interested in another one today?

If I lose, you can recommend this guy into Cangfeng Academy as you wish. If you lose, how about you hand him over to Supervisor Guan for disposal?”

According to Cangfeng Academy’s rules, a lower-ranked student challenging a higher-ranked one cannot be refused. However, he was ranked above Lu Xueman, so he could only change his strategy and seek her agreement.

Otherwise, if Lu Xueman refused his challenge, he would have no way to proceed.

The students present were immediately in an uproar upon hearing that Fan Xiaofeng wanted to challenge Lu Xueman. These two were ranked second and third on the Heaven List.

Such a confrontation between strong Cultivators was not something one could witness anytime. If they were fortunate enough to see it with their own eyes, it would definitely be a great blessing.

At the same time, everyone’s gaze also turned towards Lu Xueman, wondering if the top beauty would accept the challenge for this man.

According to the strength rankings, Fan Xiaofeng was ahead, so the possibility of her losing if they fought was very high.
