95: Chapter 95 The Little Loli's Identity

Actually, according to the strict management regulations of the Empire Martial Arts University, students like Qiao Shiyu who haven't officially enrolled are indeed not allowed to use university resources.

However, as the saying goes, "for every policy, there is a countermeasure."

Tianshui Martial Arts University had long ago come up with a solution.

They established an "Affiliated High School Elite Class" to conduct joint training.

Some talented high school Martial Artists could enter the elite classes set up by the university in advance and enjoy some of the university's resources.

After Qiao Shiyu became a Martial Artist five years ago, she entered this elite class.

She had lost count of how many times she had used places like the Combat Technique Analysis Hall.

If it weren't for the fact that she had come of age this year and was required to enroll officially, she might have continued to "bug" the high school elite class to maximize her "legitimate" study time at the Martial Arts University.

It wasn't just Tianshui Martial Arts University; children of powerful and wealthy families in other prefectures mostly used similar methods to exploit this loophole in the rules.

Therefore, Qiao Shiyu was currently in the "gap period" between "graduating from the high school elite class" and "officially enrolling in the university."

According to the explicit regulations, this was indeed not allowed during this period.

But... rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

There had been many times before where Qiao Shiyu had used up her quota or was "temporarily" not in compliance with the regulations, but she could always get a "favor" in the end and obtain temporary access.

Those who know, know the room for maneuver here.

Shen Qingqiu was a bit overwhelmed by her "cajoling technique," feeling like she couldn't handle it anymore.

But she still forced herself to maintain a serious expression and changed the subject:

"Didn't your yellow-rank High Grade 'Cloud-Piercing Palm' already reach Perfection? Why go to the Combat Technique Analysis Hall? Greed leads to poor digestion."

Qiao Shiyu hurriedly explained.

"I... I just learned a new Combat Technique!"

"A yellow-rank peak 'Rending Wind Claw'! I just... just got a feel for it today, and I want to strike while the iron is hot and consolidate it!"

"You are a First-Stage Martial Artist, why are you learning such a peak grade Combat Technique?"

"If the Foundation is not solid, the earth will shake. It won't be too late to learn it after you have a Breakthrough to the Second-Stage and your Foundation is stable."

Shen Qingqiu continued to "make things difficult."

"But... but that Bai Lulu learned it too!"

Qiao Shiyu got anxious and started shaking Shen Qingqiu's arm again.

"Auntie~ Just say yes!"

"Do you have the heart to watch your niece, who is so cute and works so hard, be suppressed by that annoying girl and never be able to lift her head?"

"Auntie~ You're the best~"

Under Qiao Shiyu's continuous, saccharine-sweet cajoling offensive, the "frost" on Shen Qingqiu's face finally began to melt, and the helplessness and doting in her eyes became increasingly obvious.

In the end, she couldn't control her heart that doted on her niece and gave in.

"Alright, alright, stop shaking. If you keep shaking, your aunt's arm will break."

Shen Qingqiu sighed and reached out to operate the control panel on the desktop a few times.

"I've opened it for you, just for tomorrow. Remember, you can only practice Combat Techniques; don't go causing trouble everywhere again!"

"Yay! Long live Auntie! Auntie is the very, very best!"

Qiao Shiyu cheered, so happy she almost jumped up again, but she remembered the injury on her bottom in time and forcibly held back.

She leaned over and gave a loud "smack" kiss on Shen Qingqiu's fair cheek, leaving a small, wet saliva mark.

Then, like a happy little bird, she ran out of the office in a flash.

While running, she didn't forget to carefully protect her bottom, looking both pitiful and funny.

"This girl..."

Shen Qingqiu helplessly wiped the saliva off her face. Watching Qiao Shiyu's happy retreating back, the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Hopefully this time... she can really change.

Looking out the window, Lin Yun and his group were long gone.

Shen Qingqiu's gaze became deep and thoughtful again.

"Lin Yun... an interesting little guy. It seems I need to keep a close eye on him."

...

Tianshui Martial Arts University was truly huge.

Lin Yun and his group wandered for a whole day, and they only managed to take a cursory look at a few iconic scenic spots.

Coupled with the time delayed at Qiao Shiyu's place, by the time everyone was ready to leave, still feeling unfulfilled, the sky had already been dyed in the golden red of dusk.

On the way back, everyone was still excitedly discussing the various sights they had seen during the day.

Wu Qingya, as the "local snake," naturally became the center of the conversation, enthusiastically introducing various campus legends and interesting stories.

However, the topic soon circled back to that silver-haired little loli.

Everyone was quite curious about Qiao Shiyu's identity.

Led by Wu Qingya, they logged onto the internal student forum of Tianshui Martial Arts University and used Wu Qingya's student privileges to search.

The results came out quickly—Qiao Shiyu, the youngest daughter of the head of the Qiao Family.

The apple of the eye of the Qiao Family, one of the top three major wealthy families in Tianshui Prefecture.

The Qiao Family's businesses spread across the entire Minglu Planet, and their reach even extended to other planets; they were a behemoth of a Family in the true sense.

"Hiss..."

Seeing this result, everyone except Lin Yun gasped.

"I didn't expect... that little thing to have such a big background!" Zhao Qingyue murmured.

Chen Yuwei clicked her tongue: "The Qiao Family... I've heard of them. They seem to be giants in the interstellar Ore and high-end energy weapon business..."

Wu Qingya's face turned slightly pale, and her eyes were full of worry.

She knew better than her sisters what the Qiao Family meant in Tianshui City; they were an existence that could truly summon wind and rain.

She hurriedly went back to the forum to search for posts related to "Qiao Shiyu."

Sure enough, the screen was full of posts about "Little Devil King," "Witch," and "existences not to be provoked."

It described her various arrogant and domineering deeds of running rampant on campus, and even some instructors couldn't do anything about her.

"Husband..."

Wu Qingya held Lin Yun's arm, her voice filled with unease.

"Are we... have we gotten into big trouble? Will she... will she take revenge?"

Su Yingxue had a different view.

Recalling the way Qiao Shiyu looked at Lin Yun at the end—shy, timid, yet filled with admiration and conviction—she said softly:

"I don't think so."

"Although that child has a bad temper, I don't feel she is deep-minded; she seems like she was just spoiled."

"And I saw the look in her eyes when she looked at Husband at the end... I'm afraid it might not be hatred, but rather..."

She paused, a meaningful smile curling on her lips.

"Perhaps Husband will have the chance to 'marry' her home in the future."

Lin Yun held Wu Qingya's cold hand and comforted her:

"Qingya, don't worry."

"Just as Yingxue said, that child's nature is not bad; she just lacks discipline."

"My lesson to her today, although the method... was a bit direct, it was also for her own good."

"With her status, if she really wanted to take revenge, a bunch of people would have rushed out to surround us long ago; why would she let us leave safely?"

"Let's wait and see."
