Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er hadn't even called out when Lin Xiao was already approaching.
"The journey was long and arduous."
"Binger, Yue'er, you've worked hard!"
Shui Binger couldn't help but smile.
What was so hard about it? For the powerful physique of a Soul Master, the bumps of a carriage were almost negligible. If anything was hard, it was the days spent missing him in Heaven Water City! "Lin Xiao, thank you for picking me up."
"Sister Yanyan, Sister Ling Ling, thank you too..."
Just as Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling knew of Shui Binger's existence, Shui Binger also knew of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Over the past few years, she had often exchanged letters with Lin Xiao. Although she had met Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling few times, Shui Binger felt as if she knew them very well.
Lin Xiao often shared interesting stories about Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Even if it was just words, Shui Binger still felt the pure friendship between Lin Xiao, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan. She found it beautiful, but she couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
In short, she couldn't sit still any longer.
After graduation, she had to come to Lin Xiao's side no matter what.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling handed the hydrangeas and tulips in their hands to Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er respectively, and Lin Xiao also handed chamomile to the two.
"Thank you."
Shui Binger smiled gently, her manner graceful and generous.
Shui Yue'er thanked him somewhat shyly.
Lin Xiao looked at the graceful girl before him, with her waterfall of ice-blue hair like snow, and wondered when the little girl from back then had grown up. Like a budding lotus flower, she possessed a captivating beauty at a young age.
Lin Xiao said, "Binger, Yue'er, I've already arranged your accommodation. I don't know if you've had a meal on the way?"
Shui Binger smiled lightly:
"We've already eaten!"
This time, Granny Shui Yuehua did not accompany Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er, because Shui Shengxiao considered that his two daughters were getting older and it was not good to always have someone following them.
Planning for one's children and grandchildren means planning for the long term.
One must consider the long term and allow them to grow! Therefore, the coachman who escorted Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er was a Soul Emperor expert. After delivering the two to Heaven Dou City and connecting them with Lin Xiao, he returned.
"Good that you've eaten."
Lin Xiao nodded, and the group walked towards Ye Residence.
Whether it was Dugu Yan's home or Ye Lingling's home, although they only lived in one main courtyard, the surrounding properties were all under their names. This was not only for peace and quiet, but also to consider the safety of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
In short, both families were big landlords!
Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er's residence was arranged in the courtyard next to Ye Residence, which was basically considered living with Lin Xiao and the others.
After arranging the two girls' accommodation.
The five of them came to the backyard of Ye Residence to chat.
It was also to let them get to know each other.
They had only just sat down when the servant's report came from outside again.
"Miss Ning Rongrong has arrived!"
At the entrance of the courtyard, a girl in a blue dress, exquisitely dressed, and with a cute face appeared. As soon as she entered, she said with joy:
"Lin Xiao, I'm joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy too!"
"I'll register tomorrow!"
Ning Rongrong walked in, but was stunned when she saw Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er, and froze in place.
Ye Lingling looked at Lin Xiao with schadenfreude.
Her eyes seemed to speak.
"Little Lin Xiao, let's see what you do now!"
"Who do you think everyone is, me and Sister Yanyan?"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at Ye Lingling in secret, then stood up.
He naturally introduced Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er: "This is the eldest miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong, Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, level 28 Great Soul Master."
Thanks to the effect of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Gel, although Ning Rongrong's second Soul Ring's age didn't break through a thousand years, it was still over 900 years. Plus, she had been diligently cultivating under Lin Xiao's guidance these years, so naturally her level was higher than in the original story.
Lin Xiao then said to Ning Rongrong:
"This is Shui Binger, the first friend I made, and her younger sister Shui Yue'er."
"They're both a bit older than you."
Ning Rongrong, having seen the world, quickly recovered and gave Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er a sweet smile, "Hello, Sister Binger and Sister Yue'er!"
Ning Rongrong extended her fair hand with a sweet smile.
Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er shook hands with her.
"I am Shui Binger, Martial Soul is the Ice Phoenix, level 39 Battle Soul Elder."
"I am Shui Yue'er, Martial Soul is the Dolphin, level 35 Battle Soul Elder."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
Martial Soul Ice Phoenix! Isn't Lin Xiao's Martial Soul the Fire Phoenix? Lin Xiao also said that this was the first friend he made, it seems that the relationship between this Shui Binger and Lin Xiao is not simple!
For some reason, a sense of crisis rose in Ning Rongrong's heart.
She couldn't help but feel a trace of hostility towards Shui Binger.
Originally, she had gradually become relieved.
The way Lin Xiao interacted with Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan was more like family, and they never overstepped the boundaries, so it seemed they were just friends.
But she couldn't be sure about Shui Binger...
...
After the six of them sat down again, the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy.
Ning Rongrong was thinking; Shui Binger was aloof towards outsiders; Shui Yue'er was shy; Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were clearly waiting to see Lin Xiao make a fool of himself, holding back their mischief and deliberately remaining silent! Lin Xiao had no choice but to take on the responsibility of enlivening the atmosphere.
"Speaking of which, Binger, Yue'er, Rongrong, if the three of you are preparing to enroll in Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you can be considered our junior sisters."
"Sister Yanyan, Sister Lingling and I have been looking forward to you for a long time!"
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan rolled their eyes to the sky! They've been looking forward to them for a long time?!
It's Lin Xiao himself who's been looking forward to them for a long time!
Hmph, having them two good friends isn't enough, he has so many friends, and they're all female friends. Let's see how Lin Xiao handles this situation! Ning Rongrong seems to have been tamed, but in reality, only Lin Xiao can suppress her. Who knows, she might have some conflicts with Shui Binger and Shui Yue'er!
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance.
They both smiled.
Tsk tsk, you silly Lin Xiao, who told you not to refuse Shui Binger and the others from coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy? You'll soon realize that having too many women is definitely not a good thing.
One woman is gentle and virtuous, two women talk about trivial family matters, three women put on a united front, four women engage in factional disputes, and five women cause chaos! Lin Xiao remained calm and composed, saying:
"The Soul Master Competition will begin in a little over two years... and a standard Soul Master team needs seven people. Sister Yanyan, Sister Lingling and I founded a team called 'Burning Maple', and it's always been just the three of us."
"Now that you've joined, we only need one more member."
"We should also start preparing for the Soul Master Competition!"
Mention of the Soul Master Competition attracted the attention of not only Ning Rongrong and the others, but also Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling...
After all, this was the dream of countless young Soul Masters.
Who wouldn't want to win the Soul Master Competition?
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
A Shura field? Doesn't exist!
He was a serious person, could it be that he couldn't manage a mere team just because there were too many girls?
Everything requires method!
There's another chapter, coming right up.
