"Senior brother, let us fight for you tomorrow; we want to help you, too," Han Wei immediately said when Su Bai came out.

"No, it's not difficult to deal with them." He waved his hand. "You only need to deal with your own affairs. Alright, I'll take my leave now."

He turned around and left eagerly.

"Forget it. Our senior brother is in a hurry to see his girlfriend." Ouyang Du smiled while looking at Su Bai's back.

"I can see that he's really a good man who cares a lot about his family." Han Wei nodded.

"It's a pity that he ran out too fast. I wanted to tell him that there'll be a new disciple selection in a few days. Both God Dragon and Giant Dragon must participate. Recruiting new disciples is the top priority every year." Ouyang Du sighed as he said this.

However, Su Bai had already run out long ago. He summoned Planet Eye after leaving the gym, flew directly to East City, and finally arrived at Hope Community.

"Huh, no one is home?"

He found that the door was locked, and after going in, the house was neat and tidy as if it had been unoccupied for a long time.

He paused for a while and then dialed Chen Ruoxue's phone number.

"Hey, babe, why are you calling?" After a while, a familiar voice sounded on the phone.

"I'm back, babe. Where are you? I want to see you," Su Bai said with a smile.

"Ah, you're back! Wait for me; I'll be there soon." When Chen Ruoxue heard the news that her boyfriend had returned, she cried in surprise and immediately ended the call.

Su Bai reluctantly put away the phone, took out food, and fed his pets.

He also sent a message to Senior Sister Li Xue, saying that he wanted to use his spot in the Imperial Beast Gymnasium to send his three pets over and study there for a period of time.

Just as he sent this message out, there was a knock at the door.

When he walked over and opened the door, a fragrant wind brushed past him, and he felt a tender body embrace him, which he held on to tightly.

"I missed you so much; you're too cruel to me. You left me alone for an entire year. Do you know how I spent my year? I even wondered many times if you didn't want me anymore…"

While embracing him, Chen Ruoxue began to speak incoherently.

Su Bai closed the door and patted his girlfriend's back gently. "I'm sorry, babe. I didn't expect to be away for so long; too many things happened in the middle."

"Stop talking and just kiss me!" Chen Ruoxue closed her eyes, which flowed like autumn water.

Su Bai kissed and hugged his girlfriend tightly.

Upon meeting each other under the golden evening wind and pure white dew, they shared an experience that others would never understand.

It took half an hour before the two ended the kiss, panting heavily and rearranging their clothes for each other.

"Take me with you when you go somewhere far. I don't want anything else; I just want you!" she took his hand and exclaimed.

"Okay, I promise you." Su Bai nodded lightly. Since he now had a certain degree of self-protection, it was not a problem to bring Chen Ruoxue along.

Furthermore, Chen Ruoxue was not weak herself and was a good support for him, so she would not pull his leg.

"Don't think that I'm a burden. Four of my pets have reached the peak high-level monarch grade this year, whereas the other three newly acquired pets have also reached the high-level monarch.

"I'm now competing for the position as a chief disciple of Fuyao Gymnasium's Imperial Dragon Division. Once I succeed, I'll have the place to enter the Dragon Pond. By then, the black and white twin dragons should be promoted to the emperor level," Chen Ruoxue said with her head held high and her chest out.

This year, because Su Bai was absent, she had focused all her thoughts on improving her strength.

Coupled with the full help of Mistress Wei Ya, her speed of improvement was faster than that of Su Bai.

However, in terms of strength, she was naturally a little inferior to Su Bai.

"You're amazing." He praised her generously. "Do you want me to help you?"

"No, I have confidence." Chen Ruoxue shook her head.

"Alright, then." Su Bai nodded.

"Are you hungry? I'll cook for you," she took his hand and asked.

"I'm not very hungry. Let's take out some fruits and snacks, and chat while eating." He shook his head and refused.

"Okay, it just so happens that I want to chat with you, too." Chen Ruoxue smiled gently.

After ordering takeout, she got up and took out the tea set to make tea.

At this time, because of her pets' backfeeding, her appearance and figure were comparable to those of a goddess. Although she wore loose clothes today, her graceful figure still could not be hidden.

While drinking tea, the two shared their experiences over the past year.

She marveled at the dangers of Abyss Star Territory and his narrow escape from death.

Meanwhile, he was impressed with and moved by her efforts.

"At least, you had enough conscience to come back before my birthday." Chen Ruoxue snorted softly. It was just one week away from her eighteenth birthday.

"Of course, I prepared a birthday gift for you, but it's not ready yet. I'll definitely surprise you at that time," Su Bai said with a smile.

"Then I'll give you the gift I prepared for your birthday before on that day, too." She thought about it and suggested this.

"What gift? Can you give me a hint?" he asked, feeling a little curious.

"No." Chen Ruoxue puffed up her cheeks.

That day, Su Bai did not work on anything else. He spent the entire day glued beside his girlfriend, shopping and eating delicacies.

Early the next morning, the two had to separate because they each had things to deal with.

However,they were not too far away from each other. She was at Fuyao Gymnasium, while he was at Yulong Gymnasium. Both sides were on the edge of Heavenly Abyss and were standing across from each other.

In the morning, Su Bai came to the training ground. He Yu, Lu Tao, and Yang Shan, along with many disciples who had not taken up any tasks, were all waiting there.

When he arrived, Lu Tao and Yang Shan eagerly looked at him. He Yu nodded politely and said, "Senior brother, what do you think is more suitable for the battle?"

"Should I make rules?" he asked.

"Of course, you're the senior brother," He Yu nodded and said. Yang Shan and Lu Tao wanted to say something, but they still gave up.

"Okay, I'll set the rules. It's meaningless to fight here, and it'll set a bad example for the disciples.

"It just so happens that the abyss monsters have gathered. Let's see who kills more monsters. As your senior brother, the three of you are counted as a team and I'll be counted as a team by myself, so don't complain that I'm bullying you," Su Bai said.

"Senior brother is worthy of being the senior brother. It's settled then." Yang Shan took the lead to speak at this time.

The other disciples on the side nodded involuntarily, feeling that Su Bai was indeed worthy of being the senior brother. Although he did not appear often, he still took care of the overall situation.

For a while, they formed a favorable impression of him and became curious about what the results of the battle would be.

He Yu, Yang Shan, and Lu Tao were all well-known disciples in the gymnasium and had more than one emperor pet in their possession.

Especially He Yu, she was publicly recognized as the person with the greatest strength in the gym and even had a peak high-level emperor pet.

As for their Senior Brother Su Bai, his strength was extremely mysterious. Everyone recognized him because he had an Ancestor Blood Dragon at hand and because he had entered Abyss Star Territory at the bottom of Heavenly Abyss and had returned alive after a year.

Coupled with his relaxed expression and fearless attitude, the disciples were curious about what the result of this competition would be.

"Alright, then! Let's begin. You are all probably prepared, so let's start right away," Su Bai said.

As he walked away, many disciples of the gymnasium and even some elders, set off with him. Obviously, everyone was looking forward to the result of this match.
