Su Yu studied Sovereign Descent not to truly master it, but simply to understand its strengths and refine his unique technique, Sovereign Dominance.
"With just a single day, you've already reached an advanced level in Sovereign Descent. I have nothing more to teach you," a weary voice sounded from the side—Mu En, his tone carrying a hint of lament.
Su Yu's comprehension ability was truly beyond belief.
Sovereign Descent was Mu En's lifelong creation, a technique so profound that calling it vast and intricate would be an understatement. Yet, Su Yu had grasped its essence in just one day.
Such a level of learning ability was nothing short of astonishing.
Was this the caliber of a divine heir?
No wonder Su Yu had been chosen by the gods.
Hearing Mu En's words, Su Yu finally spoke, his voice calm. "Senior Mu overpraises me. I only learned it so quickly because I already had a similar foundation."
"Sovereign Descent is indeed an exquisite battle technique."
At this, Mu En could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
He understood that Su Yu was merely being modest. If he took those words at face value, he would be truly foolish.
A thought crossed his mind, and Mu En asked, "Su Yu, did you find anything useful in the library?"
Su Yu answered casually, "I did gain some insights. Some of the experiences recorded by my predecessors were quite enlightening."
Mu En nodded slightly. "That's good. If you wish, you may continue to access the library. There are no time restrictions."
This was Mu En extending goodwill.
If a few records could earn Su Yu's favor, it was well worth it.
Su Yu shook his head. "I appreciate the offer, but I've already seen what I needed to."
Other than those two particular insights, nothing else in the library truly caught his eye.
Naturally, he didn't want to owe unnecessary favors either.
As his words fell, a brief silence followed.
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe spoke up, testing the waters. "Young Master Su Yu, now that our previous agreement has been fulfilled…"
"Regarding Ma Xiaotao…"
"After all, three days have passed already."
Su Yu glanced at him, slightly surprised. "Has it been three days already?"
"I hardly noticed."
"But a promise is a promise. Since I gave my word, you needn't worry, Dean Yan."
Yan Shaozhe chuckled awkwardly. "Of course, I trust Young Master Su Yu's credibility."
"I've already prepared a soul bone for you. It's certainly no worse than that White Dragon Right Leg Bone."
Fearing Su Yu might not take this seriously, Yan Shaozhe quickly brought up the reward.
Su Yu could easily see through Yan Shaozhe's thoughts and responded indifferently, "Where is Ma Xiaotao?"
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe was delighted and quickly said, "She's in the Inner Court. I'll go fetch her."
"No need. I'll go find her myself."
With that, Su Yu cupped his hands toward Mu En in farewell and left the Sea God Pavilion.
As soon as he exited, he extended his spiritual perception across the entire Sea God's Island.
Within moments, he located Ma Xiaotao.
Following the stone path, Su Yu descended elegantly.
On his way, he noticed a gathering of Inner Court disciples.
Ma Xiaotao was among them.
Just as Su Yu was about to approach, the disciples took notice of him and started whispering among themselves.
Soon, several figures stepped forward from the group.
Before Su Yu could react, three young women—Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, and Hua Yao—had already positioned themselves in front of him.
Behind them, Zhang Lexuan sighed lightly and followed along.
Han Ruoruo and the others surrounded Su Yu from different angles, effectively boxing him in.
All three had excellent figures, their curves pronounced and their movements graceful. Their beauty was undeniable.
Watching them surround Su Yu, the nearby disciples couldn't help but marvel.
"What are you three trying to do? Planning to beat me up?"
Su Yu remained calm, even as he caught the faint fragrance of the three women around him.
Considering their recent hostility toward him, his first assumption was that they were here to cause trouble.
At his words, Han Ruoruo chuckled charmingly. "Su Yu, relax. We mean no harm."
Su Yu rolled his eyes. "Why would I be nervous? You three can't beat me anyway."
Han Ruoruo's expression remained unchanged. She stepped forward, her fair hand gently resting on Su Yu's shoulder. A faint fragrance filled the air.
"Why always talk about fighting? We admit we can't beat you."
"But we're not here to fight."
With a soft smile, Han Ruoruo adjusted Su Yu's collar gently, looking as docile as a devoted wife.
She was very close to him, her lips slightly parted—red, moist, and full, exuding an irresistible allure.
Su Yu's eyes flickered with an odd expression. He lightly pushed Han Ruoruo away.
"Miss Ruoruo, what do you all want?"
Han Ruoruo shot him a wistful glance, feigning grievance. "Do you dislike us that much? We wouldn't harm you."
Su Yu's mouth twitched. "Miss Ruoruo, can you act normal? You're making me nervous."
Han Ruoruo giggled. "You're fearless in battle, but scared of me?"
"We came to apologize."
"Last time, we were reckless and misunderstood your relationship with Lexuan. We owe you an apology."
"Really?" Su Yu was skeptical.
Are these women… apologizing?
"Of course," Han Ruoruo assured with a sweet smile.
At that moment, Hua Yao stepped up. "We were thoughtless last time. Sorry about that."
Wu Ming, bolder than the others, leaned in even closer. Among the three, she had the most striking figure—practically towering.
"Sorry, I misjudged you. I shouldn't have insulted you last time."
Su Yu was bewildered.
Something was off.
Extremely off.
Their behavior was completely unlike their usual selves—especially Wu Ming.
Was she the type to be so understanding?
Perplexed, he glanced at Zhang Lexuan at the back.
Just what did you tell them?
As Su Yu remained baffled, Han Ruoruo once again leaned in, her soft gaze meeting his, her breath warm against his face.
"Su Yu, we've all apologized. You're not still holding a grudge, are you?"
A strange atmosphere began to build.
Hua Yao took the initiative next, wrapping her arm around Su Yu's.
"Su Yu, don't tell me you're holding a grudge?"
Hua Yao's mature and curvaceous figure pressed against him, her soft touch indescribably enchanting.
Wu Ming was the boldest—she reached out to touch Su Yu's face while practically leaning into his chest.
Su Yu jumped in alarm, quickly retreating and freeing himself from Hua Yao's grip.
Seeing him back away, the three women stepped forward again.
"Stay back! Don't come any closer!"
Su Yu took another step back, looking visibly uneasy.
Their behavior had completely thrown him off.
Previously, they held clear hostility toward him.
Now, all of a sudden, they were acting like rogue flirts.
It wasn't that Su Yu feared them—he simply found the situation way too bizarre.
"Su Yu, what's wrong?"
Wu Ming fluttered her eyes, speaking in a syrupy tone.
Su Yu shuddered instantly.
Dear heavens—why was this fiery-tempered woman suddenly using a soft, coquettish voice? It was downright terrifying!
"I don't hold grudges! Just… just give me some space. I need a moment to process this."
"Zhang Lexuan, where are you? Hurry up and take them back!"
Su Yu shouted, while Zhang Lexuan, standing behind, rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
She had already foreseen things getting out of hand, and sure enough, it happened.
Now, she had shot herself in the foot.
With a helpless sigh, Zhang Lexuan stepped forward.
"Ruoruo, Ming'er, Yao'er, stop messing around. Everyone is watching."
"Lexuan, we're not messing around. We're just apologizing to Su Yu," Han Ruoruo said with a smile.
"Do you have to be this close to apologize?" Zhang Lexuan asked.
"This is to show sincerity and closeness."
"Besides, we're at the age for romance now. I think Su Yu is quite a good choice."
"Su Yu, what do you think of us? Do we suit you?"
Han Ruoruo's words were so shocking that not only was Su Yu dumbfounded, but the inner courtyard disciples behind them were also in complete disbelief.
In the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy team, Xiao Hongchen was utterly stunned.
Damn! Is my future brother-in-law really this impressive?
Three top beauties from the inner courtyard confessing to him in public?
Why do I never run into this kind of luck?
Damn it, jealousy was twisting his face beyond recognition.
No way, he had to report this to Meng immediately—he'd say that Su Yu was a flirt, and not just with one, but several at once!
Witnessing this shocking scene, the big brother-in-law was completely broken inside.
Some people are starving, while others drown in excess…
Su Yu glanced at Han Ruoruo in shock. Even he was caught off guard by her words.
After calming himself, he said, "You all know that I already have a girlfriend. Actually, two."
"Then would you mind adding three more?" Wu Ming immediately asked.
Han Ruoruo and the other two nodded in agreement.
Su Yu: "..."
Ladies, what kind of bold and wild words are these?
And you two—why are you nodding?
Su Yu rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly. "Ladies, I don't have time to joke around with you. I have things to do, so I'll take my leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered, swiftly dodging past the three women.
Wu Ming wanted to chase after him, but Zhang Lexuan grabbed her arm and held her back.
"Ma Xiaotao, come with me."
Su Yu grabbed Ma Xiaotao by the arm and quickly disappeared with her.
Watching Su Yu's series of actions, Wu Ming and the other two burst into laughter.
"You're still laughing? Do you even realize what you've done?"
"You're not afraid of causing a huge mess, are you?" Zhang Lexuan scolded in frustration.
Han Ruoruo chuckled softly, "Lexuan, we're just helping to share your burden. Strength comes in numbers, right?"
"Sister Ruoruo is right, Senior Sister. We just want to help you." Hua Yao chimed in.
Zhang Lexuan countered, "But you're sacrificing your happiness—it's not worth it."
Han Ruoruo replied, "Weren't you sacrificing yourself too?"
"If you can do it, why can't we? We can't let you walk this path alone."
"Exactly!"
Hua Yao and Wu Ming both agreed in unison.
Zhang Lexuan opened her mouth, wanting to say that she hadn't sacrificed anything at all—in fact, she had gained everything.
After all, being with Su Yu was her lifelong dream.
But could she say that?
No, she couldn't.
Zhang Lexuan felt extremely stifled.
Seeing her reaction, Han Ruoruo continued, "Lexuan, the academy belongs to all of us, and we're willing to contribute our strength to it."
"You shouldn't stop us."
"Sister Ruoruo is right!"
Hua Yao and Wu Ming echoed once again.
Zhang Lexuan: "..."
She regretted everything—she had played around too much and now ended up with three love rivals.
Unwilling to give up, Zhang Lexuan made one last struggle. With a straight face, she said, "Su Yu's character is unreliable, and he's a womanizer. He's not suitable for you."
Wu Ming responded, "I suddenly think he's quite a decent guy. Senior Sister, didn't you see how flustered he looked just now? He was so cute."
"Senior Sister, maybe we misjudged him."
"When faced with confessions from all three of us, he ran away. He's more innocent than we thought—not some perverted womanizer."
Zhang Lexuan was speechless.
Last time, you called him a scumbag, and now you say he's cute?
"But he's really difficult to approach. Even Ma Xiaotao failed—your chances are slim."
"If you ask me, you should just give up."
Zhang Lexuan tried her best to dissuade them.
Han Ruoruo smiled and said, "That's because Xiaotao is too aggressive and competitive. She always clashes with Su Yu, so of course, he wouldn't easily like her."
"Men—especially strong, dominant ones like Su Yu—might not like overly competitive women. But how could he possibly resist gentle, caring, and passionate older sisters?"
"As long as we take the initiative, it won't be a problem."
"Besides, there are three of us, all mature women, each with a unique charm. Wouldn't that awaken Su Yu's desire to conquer?"
Zhang Lexuan: !!!!!!
Alright, alright. Looks like you've all come well-prepared.
Fine, then. Tonight, I'm going to report this to Xiao Yu.
Three at once? Forget whether Xiao Yu can handle it—I definitely can't take this.
You're trying to steal my man!
When it comes to men, even between sisters, there's no mercy.
Zhang Lexuan made a secret vow.
…
…
Su Yu carried Ma Xiaotao, moving at lightning speed.
Under Ma Xiaotao's guidance, they arrived in front of a small house.
This was Ma Xiaotao's residence in the inner courtyard.
The house was surrounded by lush flowers and plants, exuding vitality.
"We're here."
Su Yu let go of Ma Xiaotao, who almost stumbled as her legs wobbled.
She quickly steadied herself and looked at Su Yu, whose expression remained cold. Her beautiful eyes carried a hint of grievance and deep frustration.
The confessions from those three women had dealt her another huge blow.
Zhang Lexuan stabbing her in the back was one thing—but now even Han Ruoruo and the others were doing it too?
They all wanted to steal Su Yu!
A sense of injustice surged within Ma Xiaotao's heart.
Why?
She was the first one here, yet all these women were trying to snatch food from her bowl. It was infuriating!
But what upset her the most was Su Yu's attitude.
When Wu Ming, who had a similar fiery personality, confessed, Su Yu didn't even react strongly.
But when it came to her, he treated her so coldly that she started doubting herself.
Was she that bad?
Was she so unworthy of Su Yu's attention?
