Yang Xiao arrived at the Flying Leopard Academy administrative building, and many mentors greeted Yang Xiao warmly as soon as they saw him.

"Oh, isn't this Yang Xiao? It's been a while!"

"Yang Xiao, why are you here?"

"Haha, are you here to see Xiao Ling?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Xiao Ling is in the big classroom for a lecture right now."

.....

Yang Xiao inquired about where Xiao Ling was teaching and then turned around to find Xiao Ling.

Yang Xiao was very familiar with the Flying Leopard Academy, and he quickly found the place where Xiao Ling was teaching.

When Yang Xiao entered the classroom, he unexpectedly discovered that the students attending the class were Gao Lou, Chen Cangsheng, and the cohort of Yelu Caiyun, with whom he had originally entered Flying Leopard Academy.

Of course, Yelu Caiyun was no longer studying at the academy.

Gao Lou, Chen Cangsheng, and others were already at the peak of King Level Realm, soon to break through to Empire Level Realm and advance to the Advanced Academy Department.

Xiao Ling was explaining a set of basic cultivation techniques of the Flying Leopard Academy.

Yang Xiao walked to the back door of the classroom and stood at the very back, directly facing Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling looked up and saw someone coming in from the back door, just about to get angry, but she calmed herself down and suddenly froze, standing still at the podium.

Gao Lou, Chen Cangsheng, and others, noticing Xiao Ling's expression, were initially puzzled, then all turned their heads to look back.

And so, everyone was stunned.

Yang Xiao?!

In Gao Lou and others' minds, Yang Xiao was already a legendary figure, having broken through from King Level peak to Empire Middle Level Realm within two years of entering Flying Leopard Academy.

More importantly, he also won over the academy's first goddess mentor, Xiao Ling,

Additionally, he clinched first place in the academy's hunting competition, defeating students from Heavenly Dragon Academy, among other feats,

These achievements became legendary stories for newcomers at Flying Leopard Academy to enthusiastically recount.

Gao Lou and others thought they would never see Yang Xiao again, but unexpectedly, Yang Xiao suddenly appeared before them.

Gao Lou sprang up from his seat and rushed towards Yang Xiao, embracing him in a bear hug, only to feel his arm being forcibly grabbed.

Gao Lou turned around to find that the person grabbing him was none other than his friend Chen Cangshan.

"Cangshan?"

Chen Cangshan winked at Gao Lou and cursed quietly:

"You pig!"

Gao Lou was stunned and, when looking at Yang Xiao, realized that Yang Xiao's eyes were fixed straight on the mentor Xiao Ling standing at the podium, and Xiao Ling was doing the same.

The two gazed at each other lovingly, immersed in tenderness.

Though dozens of students stood between them, at that moment, in their eyes, there was only each other, and nothing else mattered.

Chen Cangshan stood up, made a gesture to everyone, and they smiled knowingly, all rising quietly and slipping out of the classroom.

Two lines of tears silently flowed from Xiao Ling's beautiful eyes, running down her lovely cheeks.

In the half year since Yang Xiao left, she had yearned for Yang Xiao every moment, never expecting that Yang Xiao would suddenly appear before her.

"Yang Xiao, is it really you?"

Yang Xiao smiled gently, approached Xiao Ling, and said softly:

"Silly, who else could it be?"

Yang Xiao raised his hand, gently wiping away the tears from Xiao Ling's face. Seeing the beautiful and tearful face of Xiao Ling, he felt his heart trembling.

Xiao Ling's thrilled tears gushed like a spring, a feeling of happiness rising from the depths of her heart.

Chen Cangshan and others stood outside the classroom door, watching the scene of excitement between the two. Initially wanting to make a commotion, their mood suddenly sank, not knowing why, they couldn't bring themselves to disrupt, and just silently watched the two.

A few girls had moist eyes, lowering their heads to wipe away tears.

The two exchanged smiles and, holding hands, walked out of the classroom.

Upon opening the door, Gao Lou, Chen Cangshan, and others were outside, smiling at the two.

"Yang Xiao, how long are you staying this time? Let's get together if you have time, but we won't disturb you today."

Chen Cangshan laughed.

"Don't worry, I'll come find you all in a few days, and we'll have a good drink!"

"Great!"

...

Yang Xiao held Xiao Ling's hand and returned to the dormitory.

They talked about life apart.

Xiao Ling's life was quite simple, mostly about her moments within the academy. After Yang Xiao left, her life proceeded routinely, without surprises or waves.

Xiao Ling had been cultivating the Life and Death Iteration Law and Heavenly Silkworm Technique, and her genetic evolution level was improving significantly.

Yang Xiao told her about everything that happened on Purple Origin Star, especially the two life-and-death battles with Long Kui and War God, which left Xiao Ling astounded, while also admiring and appreciating Yang Xiao more.

"Knock knock..."

Someone knocked on the door from outside.

"Huh, who could it be?"

Xiao Ling looked at the door with some surprise.
