“I plan to go a week early. If I calculate the time, I’ll leave in ten days,” Chu Nan replied.

“Only a week early?” Xio frowned, “Isn’t the time too short? Don’t you plan to go to Earth in advance to familiarize yourself with the situation? Moreover, I’m certain that before Star Cloud Academy’s admissions, there will definitely be many young elite martial artists from the federation from all over the Earth. If you go early, you can also communicate with them. It should be very helpful in improving yourself.”

“You’re right.” Chu Nan nodded with certainty before spreading out his hands with a bitter smile, “However, if I go a day earlier, I’ll have to stay on Earth for another day and spend an additional day. In order to pay for my tuition in Star Cloud Academy in the future, I have to save as much as I can.”

“Saving money?” Xio looked at Chu Nan with a strange expression and laughed as he shook his head, “Alright, you have your own plans, so I won’t say anything. Speaking of which, I’m very surprised that you actually passed the initial assessment so smoothly. Did the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall not deliberately make things difficult for you?”

“No.” Chu Nan smiled and shook his head, feeling a little strange.

Old Master Xio knew what had happened at the banquet and naturally knew that the Xue father and son were hostile to him. It was not strange for him to ask this question.

The thing that really puzzled Chu Nan was the same as Xio’s question.

In the initial assessment two days ago, the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall actually did not set any special obstruction for Chu Nan and did not have any methods to obstruct him. Therefore, Chu Nan relied on his strength that clearly surpassed his peers or even higher to easily pass the review test and obtain the spot to participate in the final test of Star Cloud Academy.

This made Chu Nan feel very strange. Could it be that the Xue father and son were so upright that even if they were filled with hostility, they were unwilling to use small methods to take revenge on him?

If that was the case, his impression of the Xue father and son would change.

“Heh, Xue Changhao is not stupid. If he eliminates you in such a simple test, once it’s exposed, their Xue family won’t have a good time.” Xio sneered and continued to ask Chu Nan, “Since you plan to go to Earth a week in advance, you can make time to see Chemekov.”

“Yes, I came to see you this time to ask Marshal Chemekov in advance. When can he take the time to see me?”

“There’s no need to ask.” Xio waved her hand. “Chemekov said that as long as you reach Earth, you can see him at any time. You only need to inform him in advance.”

“Really?” Chu Nan raised his voice in surprise.

Marshal Chemekov was the top figure of the federation. In his opinion, he should be busy with work and abnormally busy. How could he see Chu Nan so easily?

Seeing Chu Nan’s unbelievable expression, Xio chuckled, “What? You don’t believe in my reputation? Let me tell you, if I want to see Chemekov, I don’t even need to inform him in advance. I just kicked open his door and entered.”

Chu Nan could only smile bitterly, “How can I be compared to you? You and Marshal Chemekov are old friends of many years, and I’m only a kid he has never seen.”

“So what? I specially recommended you to him. He has to give me face no matter what.” Xio raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, “In short, don’t waste time. Just go. Of course, I can only help you meet him. As for whether you can really be helped by him to resolve your problem, I can’t say.”

“That’s enough.” Chu Nan revealed a smile that was filled with understanding, “Only if Marshal Chemekov is willing to impart me some experience will I be completely confident in solving the problem of breaking through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate.”

“Heh, I like your confidence. Young people should be like you. Trina, you should remember this. Forget about this kid’s other strengths, but you have to learn about confidence.”

“Yes, grandfather.” Trina nodded forcefully and asked Chu Nan with anticipation, “Brother Chu Nan, you said that you would come to Earth a week before Star Cloud Academy’s recruitment?”

“Yes, other than meeting Marshal Chemekov, we have to prepare in advance for the exam.”

Trina immediately turned to look at Madonna.

“Mom, when are we going to Earth?”

Madonna revealed a warm and helpless smile.

“We should meet your uncle on Earth in half a month.”

“That’s great!” Trina happily clapped her hands and turned to look at Chu Nan again, “Brother Chu Nan, you shouldn’t have started your exam in half a month. When I reach Earth, I’ll find you to go out and play, okay? Although I’m not very familiar with Earth, I’ve been there many times after all. I can bring you to some fun places.”

“Alright.” Chu Nan smiled and replied, “Then, I’ll go to Earth first and wait for your arrival.”

“Hmm, then it’s settled.” Trina smiled and turned to Chu Xiaoxi who had not spoken, “Sister Xiaoxi, will you go to Earth with Brother Chu Nan?”

Chu Xiaoxi smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly, “I didn’t pass the initial assessment of Star Cloud Academy. I won’t go to Earth. If possible, I really want to go to Earth to play. I’ve never been to Earth in my life.”

“Is that so? That’s a pity.” Trina was a little disappointed, “I even said that I would bring you and Brother Chu Nan to play. It seems that if I see you again, I can only come to grandpa’s place during my next break. Sister Xiaoxi, don’t forget me the next time I come here.”

Chu Xiaoxi could not help but laugh, “Don’t worry, you’re such a beautiful and sensible little sister. How could I forget you?”

Trina wanted to say something else, but Xio suddenly coughed lightly. “Trina, since you’re so close to your Sister Xiaoxi, why don’t you take her out to walk around and let her familiarize herself with her grandfather’s house?”

Trina looked back at Xio in confusion. Her eyes darted around as she nodded lightly. She stood up and pulled Chu Xiaoxi up.

“Sister Xiaoxi, let me bring you to Grandpa’s small garden to take a look. There are a few bouquets of flowers that I planted when I first arrived. They don’t look very good now. Sister Xiaoxi, you should know how to plant flowers very well, right? Come teach me.”

Chu Xiaoxi looked at Chu Nan and gestured with her eyes. Chu Nan smiled and nodded.

“Go play with Trina. She’s leaving tomorrow.”

Seeing that Chu Xiaoxi was pulled out by Trina, Madonna stood up.

“It’s getting late. I’ll go prepare lunch. Dad, you can chat with Chu Nan slowly. Chu Nan, you don’t have to be polite. Just treat this as your home.”

“I will.” Chu Nan smiled.

After Madonna left, Chu Nan looked at Xio.

“Old Master, do you have anything to say to me?”

“I should be the one asking you this, right?” Old Master Xio sneered, “Tell me, why did you specially bring your sister here?”

“Old Master, you’re really perceptive.” Chu Nan smiled and his expression became serious, “Previously, because of the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique, my family and I have encountered danger. I’ve already mentioned it to you last time.”

“Yes, I’ve heard you mention it before. I’ve also seen relevant reports on the federation’s news. However, ever since you announced the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique, hasn’t this matter been stopped?”

“That’s right. However, I’m about to leave the Purple Cloud Planet. I’m a little worried that no one in my family can protect them after I leave. If they encounter any danger, it’ll be too late. Therefore…”

“So you want me to take care of them?” Xio smiled and waved her hand, “It’s just a small matter. You can just mention it. Why do you have to put on such a serious attitude? Alright, I promise you. You don’t have to worry. You’ve already publicized the Wind God’s Forest Crossing Leg Technique. Others won’t be able to obtain anything from your family. There won’t be any danger.”

“It’s naturally best if there’s no danger.” Chu Nan smiled, “No matter what, thank you for your help.”

Xio smiled at Chu Nan.

“There’s no need to be so polite. I think you’re pleasing to the eye, so I’m willing to help you. If I don’t like you, it’s useless for you to kneel down and beg me. If you want to repay me, it’s very simple. Break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate for me and let those fellows see the determination of our Purple Cloud Planet’s martial artists.”

Chu Nan nodded seriously.

“I definitely will.”
