In the afternoon, a pitch-black sedan slowly pulled up outside the Golden List Home District.

Li Mengnan, holding the sleeping little pig, opened the door and got out of the car, turning to Fu Jianzhou with a polite smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother Fu."

Fu Jianzhou reached out the car window, pinched Little Orange Pig's bouncy bottom, and said with a smile, "No worries, now go home and get some rest."

"Mm." Li Mengnan came to the rear car window, leaned in and reached out, rubbing Xiaoyan's furry little head: "Bye-bye, then."

"Ying!"

Originally smiling widely, Li Mengnan's expression changed dramatically when she turned to Du Yu: "Silly Du Yu, I saw you accepting their friendship request just now, you'd better be careful!"

Du Yu grinned: "Don't worry, just watch how I recruit a great general into our group."

"Hmph." Li Mengnan snorted, stepped back two steps, and waved to the vehicle again.

Li Mengnan, this organization leader, is quite aggrieved, she couldn't resist her junior and had to listen to him instead...

Xiaoyan's little paws clutched the window, her golden-brown fox eyes gazing longingly at her big bed, her long tail sticking out of the window, swaying gently from side to side.

Instantly, the pitch-black sedan became the most eye-catching sight on the street!

The beautiful, adorable Little Fire Fox, and what's more, it's an extremely rare Heterochromatic Little Fire Fox!

Fu Jianzhou hurriedly stepped on the accelerator, drove away from the community gate, and after leaving the troublesome place behind, he looked into the rearview mirror: "Not bad, Junior Brother, you really came back with a first place."

Du Yu smiled bashfully, pinching Xiaoyan's fluffy ears: "It's all thanks to the Demon Pets. Without them, Li Mengnan and I would have long been drowned in the crowd."

"Ying!" Xiaoyan happily shook her head, the tip of her tail brushing gently across Du Yu's cheek.

Fu Jianzhou: "Did you mention Lin Shiwei just now in the car?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Fu." Du Yu glanced at his phone again. After Lin Shiwei added him as a friend, she hadn't spoken, and Du Yu hadn't figured out what to say, so he left it for now.

Fu Jianzhou: "What's up with Lin Shiwei?"

"I came across her at the event, wow~" Du Yu seemed to be recalling a thrill, brushing the fox in his arms, "She's really fierce, Xiaoyan handled a bunch of pursuers, and yet didn't hurt her.

I'm telling you, I was guarding a crossroad at that time, and Lin Shiwei went around a big circle and burst out behind me, it startled me."

Hearing this, Fu Jianzhou nodded in agreement: "She's considered the most famous among the younger generation of the Lin Family, and she carries a certain tragic tint."

Du Yu asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Fu Jianzhou: "She has been diligently practicing martial arts, constantly preparing for awakening, but has never been blessed by the heavens."

Du Yu: "Then the Thousand Paper Cranes arrived?"

Fu Jianzhou nodded in agreement: "It's not an exaggeration to say that the Thousand Paper Cranes saved her life."

Du Yu was slightly curious: "Huh?"

Fu Jianzhou: "Lin Shiwei has a level of pride and arrogance that ordinary people can't imagine, she's genuinely obsessive.

The young people of the Lin Family's generation almost all take her as a role model. However, those peers who trained with her awakened one after another, while she had no movement, growing older, and the chances of awakening becoming increasingly slim..."

Fu Jianzhou sighed deeply and continued: "Lin Shiwei couldn't finish high school, maybe due to immense mental pressure, or some other psychological issue, anyway, she stayed in a mental health institution for over half a year."

Du Yu: ???

For a moment, Du Yu's expression was quite colorful, this girl turns out to be a mental patient?!

But when we were chatting earlier, she seemed quite normal.

A girl who is gracious, open-minded, seems like an excellent young person, yet who would have thought, she has such a past.

Fu Jianzhou turned the steering wheel: "The you who see her now, is the settled her. I once accompanied Master Qing to visit Lin Shiwei in the recuperation center.

At that time, Lin Shiwei had already been undergoing treatment for a period, her mindset had calmed considerably, as if she had accepted the outcome of merging into the ordinary crowd.

It's just her eyes had no spirit at all, just looking at her made one feel sorry."

Du Yu: "Mm..."

He, alone in two lifetimes, without experience in a large family growth environment, couldn't comprehend what shouldering family destiny or glory feels like.

But with regards to disappointment and unfairness, he could empathize to some extent.

Friends who grew up together, awakening one after another, while he hadn't been favored at all, hoping for more than ten years, constantly shrouded in disappointment, such a blow is certainly significant.

"Later, the Thousand Paper Cranes arrived." Fu Jianzhou's voice was full of emotion, "Meeting Lin Shiwei again, she was completely 'alive'."

"Alive?"

"Yes." Fu Jianzhou nodded, "There was light in her eyes."

Du Yu nodded silently, pondering in his mind: "Little Fen Yang, this is really your true disciple.

Should Lin Shiwei come to know that it was you who helped her awaken, granting her rebirth, she would likely admire you fervently, far more devout than others."

"Hmm..." Little Fen Yang responded drowsily, seemingly asleep, "I don't want others worshiping, I only want Du Yu."

"Alright, alright." Du Yu, feeling a bit apologetic, quickly conversed, "Sorry to disturb your sleep, get some rest."

"Mm, okay~"

Fu Jianzhou: "The word 'obsessive' carries a slightly negative connotation, but just in terms of spirit, she is also a role model for you and me. Truly reaching the Peak of Demon Taming, one must have an obsession or be someone who always moves forward."

Du Yu: "Senior Brother, are you also going to be promoted?"

"Yes, Master Qing is already waiting downstairs for me." Fu Jianzhou looked at the gate of Xishu Garden, smiling, "Next time we meet, who knows when that will be."

Du Yu hurriedly asked: "How long does it take to be promoted to Great Demon Tamer?"

Fu Jianzhou shook his head: "It's not certain, maybe 1 day, maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe..."

Fu Jianzhou's words came to an abrupt halt, he didn't speak further.

"It will succeed, Senior Brother Fu, push yourself!" Du Yu reached forward and patted his shoulder. "When I advance to Great Demon Tamer, I'll count on you to escort me."

Fu Jianzhou laughed, "Sure, that's fine, but you need to slow down your cultivation. I'm afraid I won't have mastered enough martial arts to protect you by then."

Du Yu: "Oh... well, let's leave the life-and-death situations to Master Qing."

Fu Jianzhou: "..."

As the vehicle drove into the neighborhood, Du Yu caught sight of a faint green figure from afar.

Suddenly, Fu Jianzhou spoke up, "About my name, don't you have anything to say?"

Du Yu: "In such a hurry, you want to know now?"

Fu Jianzhou nodded emphatically, "I can't wait."

As the vehicle came to a stop, Du Yu suddenly grinned widely, "Even if you can't wait, you'll have to. We'll talk when you come back."

Saying that, Du Yu opened the door and got out, leaving Fu Jianzhou in the car, rolling his eyes resignedly.

"Master Qing! Oh my... you're here, did you miss me?" Du Yu quickly squatted down, having already noticed something unusual about Master Qing's skirt.

This long skirt wasn't like a hoop skirt, how could Little Immortal Deer hide?

Its outline was right there, but Du Yu was willing to play hide-and-seek with Xiaobai.

It wasn't until Bai Yujing nudged the hem of the skirt with its head that Du Yu "suddenly realized" and squatted down.

"Nai~" Xiaobai blinked its big lively eyes, watching Du Yu with open arms, and immediately sprang over.

"Nai." Du Yu mimicked Bai Yujing's call, hugging the little guy.

Yang Qingqing watched the scene with a smile, casually straightening her skirt, "You're in good form. It seems this kind of competition doesn't challenge you much."

"I'm not that great." Du Yu stood up with Bai Yujing in his arms, laughing, "I got enough of a beating."

"Hehe~" Yang Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, obviously already aware of how the competition went.

She said, "Instructor Gong called earlier, specifically pointing out your lack of close combat skills and how you're also limited with a bow in close range. He suggested that it's best for you to learn a melee weapon."

Du Yu nodded, "I'll follow Master Qing's arrangements."

Yang Qingqing nodded in satisfaction, "I've found you a teacher."

"Firethorn Tree?"

"No, a person." Yang Qingqing looked at Du Yu with interest, "You're quite sought after."

Du Yu was puzzled, "Master Qing means?"

Yang Qingqing didn't respond, but raised her hand to gently scratch Xiaoyan's chin, "Xiaobai is about to advance to Earth-level Demon Beast, so spend some time training at home."

"Yes."

"Ying~" Xiaoyan's eyes squinted comfortably, wanting to nuzzle Master Qing's hand but unwilling to give up the chin scratches.

She seemed to go all soft, the tail around Du Yu's neck loosening a bit.

Yang Qingqing timely withdrew her hand and walked past Du Yu, "Plan your time well and take care of each of your demon pets so as not to let them down."

Du Yu's expression turned serious as he watched Master Qing enter the car, "Yes!"

Yang Qingqing looked at the boy outside the window, hugging Little Deer and carrying Little Fox on his shoulder, softly reminding, "If I haven't returned by September, you should enroll according to the academy's notice. Another senior brother will contact you then to help arrange everything."

"Yes."

Yang Qingqing nodded gently, speaking softly, "Take care of yourself."

A simple sentence, but it gave Du Yu a warm feeling inside. He nodded repeatedly and waved goodbye in the direction the car left.

He only realized he hadn't said goodbye to Senior Brother Fu after the vehicle disappeared from view.

His senior brother seems a bit petty, doesn't he?

Du Yu thought quietly to himself and turned into the building, still unsure who his coach would be. With Master Qing's involvement, perhaps she had found a real Demon Spirit Academy teacher for him?

Thinking this, he returned to his familiar home, feeling quite pleased.

Of course, he returned triumphant with complete battle achievements, and seeing this green ocean made his body and mind feel so relaxed!

"Hello, Brother Tree!"

As soon as Du Yu entered, he saw a probing branch, "It's only been half a day, and your leaves seem fewer again? Better not stay up late at night; it's easy to go bald."

Stab~

The Firethorn Tree seemed unhappy, poking Du Yu's cheek with its leaves.

As it tried to tease, Xiaobai in Du Yu's arms curiously poked its head and snatched a leaf.

"Nai~"

With a swoosh, the Firethorn Tree's branch quickly withdrew, no longer daring to block the path or tease the honest boy.

Du Yu looked strangely at Little Immortal Deer.

Xiaobai chewed on the Firethorn Tree leaves, lifted its little head, and looked at Du Yu with a smile.

"Very well, doing a great job as a guard! Come on, let's find some good food." Du Yu patted Xiaobai's head, turned around to walk, and got a swat on the backside from the Firethorn Tree.

"Nai!" Xiaobai was immediately displeased, wanting to grab more leaves, but Du Yu quickly carried it to the dining area, "Ignore it, just ignore it."

Oh boy...

Master Qing isn't home right now. If you really anger this tree, not only you and me, but Xiaoyan and Little You Ying too would have to face the consequences.
