Half an hour later, Xiao Yu arrived at the Martial Academy.

This is a grand academy... Of course, it's not an academy for scholars, but for warriors.

As the premier martial arts academy in the Great Xia Dynasty, its architecture is both ancient and elegant, yet imposing. The academy's red gate is five or six meters high, and two three-meter-high stone lions stand in front of it.

These two stone lions are carved with extreme ferocity, and combined with the tall buildings of the martial arts academy, they inspire awe.

"So this is the number one martial arts academy in the Great Xia Dynasty? It looks pretty awesome!"

Xiao Yu affirmed his future father-in-law's status and then went straight inside.

Before they could even get inside, they were stopped by a gatekeeper.

The man glared at Xiao Yu and said coldly, "Those who are not students of the Martial Academy are not allowed to enter at will."

"It seems every school has a security guard at the gate."

Xiao Yu mentally scoffed, then asked, "How do you know I'm not a student at the Martial Arts Academy?"

"You don't have a badge on your arm..."

"Oh, I'm not a student at the Martial Arts Academy."

Seeing that he could not get away with it, Xiao Yu had no choice but to introduce himself, saying, "I am Xiao Yu from the Xiao Prince's Mansion. I am here to see Liu Aoxue. Please inform her for me."

"Xiao Yu?"

The man looked Xiao Yu up and down and saw that he was handsome, wearing a black robe with a belt, the material of which was extremely expensive and embroidered with gold patterns. He looked extremely dashing and elegant.

Having confirmed that Xiao Yu was no ordinary person, he nodded and then went to report it.

"So slow."

After standing at the door for more than ten minutes, Xiao Yu complained helplessly, "In ancient times, there were no cell phones, and it would take half a day to find someone."

Just as he finished complaining, he heard Liu Aoxue's voice.

"Jiro, what brings you here?"

Liu Aoxue wore a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her graceful figure, showcasing her feminine beauty while also exuding a heroic and dashing air.

This outfit is easy to move in. Liu Aoxue always dressed like this when she was training at the martial arts academy. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, which made her look both lively and dashing.

"I've come to visit you."

Xiao Yu walked over, somewhat excitedly saying, "I've never been to the Martial Academy before. Now that I'm here, you have to show me around."

"good."

Liu Aoxue agreed without even thinking.

Then, he led Xiao Yu into the Martial Academy and introduced it like a tour guide: "The Martial Academy is divided into the Outer Academy and the Inner Academy. When you first enter the Martial Academy, you need to cultivate in the Outer Academy for three years before you can enter the Inner Academy... Of course, if you have good enough talent, you can also be admitted to the Inner Academy through special admission."

"That sounds interesting."

Xiao Yu was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, full of curiosity about this unfamiliar and wonderful world.

"With your strength that defeated Chu Tianyou in one move, you are actually qualified to enter the outer academy."

Liu Aoxue said in a joking tone.

"Um?"

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to herself, "You look down on your husband, don't you?"

Thinking this to himself, Xiao Yu did not object. He wanted to determine Dean Liu Jingtao's status by visiting the scale of the martial arts academy.

However, when the students noticed that Liu Aoxue was accompanied by a man, they all looked over curiously.

"Huh? Who's that man?"

"I've never seen him before. Judging from his attire, he doesn't seem to be from our martial arts academy!"

"Senior Sister Liu is always cold to everyone, so why is she always smiling at that boy?"

"I don't know... but Senior Sister Liu's smile is really lovely!"

"Nonsense! Senior Sister Liu is beautiful even when she's not smiling. She's the most beautiful woman in the capital!"

As the premier martial arts academy in the Great Xia Dynasty, every student in the Martial Academy is one in a million... but compared to a genius like Liu Aoxue, they are far inferior.

Moreover, Liu Aoxue is the beloved daughter of Liu Jingtao, the dean of the martial arts academy, and she is beautiful, so of course she has many suitors.

However, Liu Aoxue was engaged to the Xiao Prince's family and was indifferent to all suitors, giving none of them a chance.

After the Xiao family's eighteen coffins were returned, they felt regretful but also secretly relieved, thinking that Liu Aoxue's engagement should be off.

In the past few days, more people have been pursuing Liu Aoxue... but they are still being ruthlessly rejected by her.

Seeing Liu Aoxue and Xiao Yu chatting and laughing, her beautiful face radiant with joy, the suitors' expressions turned ugly.

"Who exactly is this kid? Does anyone know him?"

The more Liu Aoxue's suitors looked, the angrier they became. One of them gritted his teeth and asked.

"This person is definitely not from the Martial Arts Academy; I've never seen him before!"

"Judging from his attire... he's probably a young master from some wealthy family, right?"

"If you don't know their background, it's best not to provoke them lightly, lest you kick a hornet's nest!"

Although these suitors were young and impetuous, they were not mindless fools. Even if they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, they did not act out the typical "overpowered hero" scenario.

Meanwhile, Liu Aoxue had already brought Xiao Yu to the inner courtyard.

There were still many onlookers.

"Looks like they're all really curious about me!"

Xiao Yu had lost count of how many times he had been hated, and he shook his head helplessly, saying, "Next time we'll have to go somewhere else, otherwise I'm really afraid they'll beat me up. It's all because my wife is too beautiful!"

"Glib-tongued".

Liu Aoxue glared at Xiao Yu coquettishly, but she wasn't angry; her cheeks just flushed slightly.

"Since you don't dare stay at the Martial Academy, then get out."

Just then, a discordant sound entered Xiao Yu's ears.

I turned my head and looked.

He was a tall young man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with the martial arts academy's badge on his arm; he was a student of the inner academy.

The martial arts academy's badges come in two colors: silver for outer academy students and gold for inner academy students... After observing for a moment, Xiao Yu understood.

This young man was tall, but not rugged in appearance; in fact, he was quite handsome.

However, compared to my handsome face, he is still far inferior... Xiao Yu looked at the other party and complained in his heart.

"I came to the martial arts academy to see my wife. Who gives you, you sycophant, the right to interfere?"

Because the other party was very rude, Xiao Yu also started to mock them.

The other person didn't understand what "licking dog" meant, but knew it was definitely an insult... Maybe it was some kind of low-class dog!

"Boy, don't call me that. Junior Sister Liu is pure and innocent; how dare you call her that?"

The young man couldn't hold back because he heard Xiao Yu call Liu Aoxue "wife." He stared coldly at Xiao Yu and asked, "I don't care who you are. Since you've come to the Martial Academy, you must abide by its rules. Now, I, Qiao Feng, want to spar with you!"

"Whoa!!"

Hearing this, the surrounding students became excited.

They had long disliked Xiao Yu, but because they didn't know his identity, no one dared to stand up and teach him a lesson.

Now that Qiao Feng has stepped forward, they are all eager to see Xiao Yu beaten half to death...
