I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

Ximen Ting knew he had made a terrible mistake, and his pale face was covered in cold sweat.

"One person wiped out the entire martial arts tournament?"

"Shut up."

Before he could finish speaking, his father scolded him again: "Very few people know about this, and even if they do, no one will gossip about it outside."

"If you dare to talk nonsense outside, I'll personally cut out your tongue."

Simon quickly covered his mouth and shook his head frantically, saying, "I'd rather die than tell."

Their gaze fell on the underlings that Ximen Ting had summoned; most of their families were not as powerful as the Ximen family.

Since even Ximen Qing was afraid of the other party, and bowed and apologized to Xu Yuan when he saw him, they were even less likely to offend him.

"We won't say anything, we won't say anything at all."

After saying that, they quickly got into their cars and headed towards their respective homes.

Go back home quickly and tell your family what happened, see if there's any way to salvage the situation.

Yunhe invited Xu Yuan to his research lab at Mingdai University and personally introduced him to the lab's facilities and layout.

"Mr. Xu, you can come here whenever you have time in the future."

Others need to verify their identity, but you don't.

"By the way, this is Lu Da, my disciple. You've met him before."

Yunhe pulled Lu Da aside: "Fortunately, you were there for what happened before, otherwise I might never have seen this disciple again."

"Lu Da, what are you standing there for? Aren't you going to thank Mr. Xu?"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Lu Da awkwardly stepped forward and respectfully cupped his hands towards Xu Yuan: "I was narrow-minded and said some unpleasant things before. Please forgive me, Senior Brother Xu Yuan."

Xu Yuan didn't immediately express his opinion, so Yun He took the opportunity to pick up the conversation.

"He is mainly stationed in Mingdai and also teaches at Mingdai University. If you need anything in the future, you can just let him know."

Lu Da smiled and nodded beside her, and Xu Yuan nodded in response, which was taken as forgiveness.

Before leaving the school, Principal Ying Liqin personally delivered the letter of appointment to Xu Yuan and warmly invited him to start classes the next day.

"I'm sorry, I promised someone I'd be going to the capital tomorrow to help treat a patient."

"I'm afraid the lectures will have to wait until I return."

"Of course, no problem, it depends on Mr. Xu's schedule." Ying Liqin readily agreed: "Just give us a call whenever you want to come, and we can make the arrangements."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Mr. Xu is going to the capital?" Yunhe asked, hearing Xu Yuan's words. "We're also going back to the capital. Do you want to come along?"

"No need to trouble yourself."

Xu Yuan refused again: "I'm used to being free and independent, and I don't like to accommodate others. Let's go our separate ways."

"Alright."

Yunhe stood there watching Xuyuan get into the car and drive away, then turned and headed towards the school.

Lu Da said with some dissatisfaction, "Teacher, you're so polite to him, but what kind of attitude does he have?"

"I don't like to accommodate others, let's go our separate ways."

He mimicked the tone of someone making a wish, repeating the words of the wisher: "Listen to this, it's too arrogant."

"They were just telling the truth, how did that become arrogance?"

Yunhe's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was reproachful: "When you reach his level, you can say the same thing too."

He turned and stared into Lu Da's eyes: "Your cultivation is still lacking. Don't underestimate him just because he's young; his temperament is far superior to yours."

"How many times have I told you? The most important thing is to cultivate your mind."

"And you? Having seen too much of the worldly glamour, you've probably long forgotten your original aspirations, haven't you?"

Lu Da opened his mouth to speak, but Luo Zuoyou pulled him back, and he swallowed his words of rebuttal.

He admitted it verbally, but he was still unconvinced by Xu Yuan's request. What made him so special?

"Teacher, didn't you want to ask him about Moriji and Haraki? Why didn't you mention them?"

Luo changed the subject: "Do you think the timing is wrong?"

Yunhe shook his head: "There's no need to ask anymore."

"Their soul beads have already been refined and absorbed by him."

I sensed it as soon as I got close to him.

"If he hadn't refined two soul beads, he probably wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

"It's been refined?"

Luo Zuoyou and Lu Da exchanged a surprised glance: "That's way too fast!"

"I'm also curious, how did he do that?"

Everyone has their own secrets; we'll have to talk about that later.

Back at Yunding Mountain, the security guard at the entrance handed him a package, saying it was delivered by courier.

When Xu Yuan opened the package, he discovered that it contained his driver's license.

"Dude, you can drive yourself now."

Xu Nuo looked at Xu Yuan's driver's license from front to back: "To celebrate this wonderful day, we're going to have a good meal tonight."

"Okay, I'll call the chef to come over." Zhang Ruonan, who came back with her, was also happy for Xu Yuan.

"Let's just call a chef; I'll cook myself tonight."

Xu Yuan smiled and spoke, her gaze sweeping over her sister and Zhang Ruonan's faces.

"This isn't a celebration of me getting my degree, but a celebration of you all successfully entering university."

"Since you cooked this yourself, I'd better have a good taste."

"Me too, let's help out." Zhang Ruonan seemed even more excited than Xu Nuo, her gaze towards Xu Yuan practically electrifying him.

After their previous relationship, Zhang Ruonan became even more open about her feelings for Xu Yuan.

Xu Nuo looked at the two of them with a strange gaze, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"Should we tell Sister Ai Li?"

Otherwise, my brother would really be won over by Sister Ruonan.

Back in her room, Xu Yuan made some simple preparations and then plunged into the kitchen to start cooking.

Zhang Ruonan came to help, but she couldn't tell the difference between salt and sugar, and she only made things worse. In the end, Xu Yuan kicked her out.

"Just wait and eat."

Xu Yuan left a message and then closed the kitchen door.

Hearing the clanging of pots and pans coming from the kitchen, Zhang Ruonan and Xu Nuo exchanged a glance and stared at the kitchen like infatuated lovers.

"You're so handsome."

"He looks so manly when he cooks, I'm almost completely smitten with him."

"Sister Ruonan, you're a girl, shouldn't you be a little more reserved?"

Xu Nuo rolled her eyes: "I admit, my brother is the most handsome man in the world, but you don't have to make it so obvious, do you?"

"Why be reserved?"

Zhang Ruonan looked at Xu Nuo with confusion: "Silly girl, let me tell you, when you meet a good man, you must take the initiative."

"If you act coy, good men will run away."

"Women who wait for men to take the initiative are foolish, and most of the men they do end up with are scumbags."

Good men are rare; a smart woman, once she finds a good man, will hold on tight.

Seeing that Xu Nuo seemed to understand only half, Zhang Ruonan waved her hand and said, "You're still young. You'll understand later."

"The food is ready, let's eat."

The sound of wishing came from the kitchen, and soon he came out carrying steaming hot delicacies.

Looking at the food on the table, Zhang Ruonan couldn't wait to grab a piece and stuff it into her mouth.

"Mmm, this is so delicious, even better than what the hotel chef makes."

"The taste is alright, but the ingredients are only half the amount I had when I was in the mountains, which is a bit different from what I had, but it's enough."

Xu Yuan took the apron and sat down opposite the two. Before he could speak, the two had already begun to eat heartily.

"Brother, you're going to the capital tomorrow. When will you be back?"

"The exact time is still unknown; it depends on the patient's condition."
