[At 23 years old, Ye Yu successfully reached the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.]

    Such a terrifying cultivation speed had nearly driven Ye Qingyu insane.

    At such a young age, finding another Golden Core Realm cultivator in the entire Western Frontier was nearly impossible!

    However, Ye Qingyu was quite curious.

    How could Ye Yu’s cultivation speed be so fast

    when his academic performance was so poor?

    Thus, Ye Qingyu began to observe what Ye Yu was doing.

    But after several days, the conclusion he reached only left him more frustrated.

    What Ye Yu did every day was just follow He Jieying around in a daze!

    This was really puzzling.

    You could say it was understandable for him to follow He Jieying around as a child.

    That was his nature, but why did he continue doing it after growing up? What was he after?

    Was he trying to bask in He Jieying’s eloquence and fiery words?

    This question left Ye Qingyu perplexed.

    Ultimately, he could only leave!

    To be precise, he was scolded away!

    He Jieying’s classic quotes included:

    “You dog, why do you follow my son around every day? Are you trying to force him to study again?”

    “Look, look, have you seen him achieving the late stage of Tribulation Crossing?”

    “If you’re just idling around, go find some heavenly materials and treasures for my son to replenish his energy!”

    “Can’t you see how skinny my son is?”

    After a barrage of scolding,

    anyone would be unable to withstand it!

    In fact, He Jieying not only scolded Ye Qingyu but also his disciples!

    “You two, what are you wandering around for every day? You’re as skinny as a stick insect! Get lost, you’re just an eyesore!”

    “And you, why are you laughing? Did you eat fart beans?”

    You could say that whenever He Jieying was in a bad mood, even a passing dog would get a few scoldings!

    However, these disciples had long since gotten used to it!

    The harsher He Jieying scolded them, the more it showed how much she cared!

    The resources and techniques they trained with were never cut, and they often received more than enough.

    Whenever there was something good, they would always think of them.

    Thus, they all held a great deal of respect for this verbal-loving teacher!

    Across the entire Jixia Academy,

    there was only one person He Jieying had never scolded!

    That was Ye Yu!

    For her own son, she pampered him to the extreme, never scolding him even once.

    She truly adored him!

    In her eyes, whether or not she received the title of grand scholar was inconsequential; her cultivation level was right there.

    Who would dare to be disrespectful?

    Moreover, He Jieying had even more important things to do.

    That was to find Ye Yu a compatible partner!

    Because even she could see that Ye Yu seemed gloomy every day.

    She wanted to try and see if finding a good partner would make Ye Yu a bit happier.

    Initially, Ye Yu was very resistant to He Jieying’s good intentions.

    However, later on, his attitude underwent a drastic change. He began to actively cooperate in finding a partner.

    Of course, Ye Yu was not being beaten into submission.

    Rather, he discovered that every time He Jieying selected a partner for him, her inner thoughts gradually increased!

    There were two parents in the Tribulation Crossing Realm!

    And they held high positions at Jixia Academy.

    With such a family background, they were truly invincible!

    Furthermore, with Ye Yu’s handsome looks,

    the suitors naturally flocked to him!

    They came with portrait stones of various beautiful female immortals from the Western Frontier.

    The thing He Jieying did the most every day was carefully study the appearances of these women.

    In her heart, she silently evaluated them!

    [This woman has high cheekbones; she could kill a man without a knife! No good, pass!]

    [She looks cute, but has no substance; her future baby’s nutrition won’t keep up, pass!]

    [Her complexion looks lazy and lifeless, pass!]

    [Decent background, but poor talent, pass!]

    ...

    As He Jieying’s inner thoughts increased,

    Ye Yu truly soared!

    In just half a month’s time,

    he had risen a small level, stepping into the late stage of the Golden Core Realm!

    However, this time didn’t last long.

    After all, even if there were many candidates sent to him, there was still a day to finish choosing.

    After He Jieying’s screening,

    out of over two thousand candidates, only about sixty remained!

    Soon after, Ye Yu began his blind date!

    His schedule was packed.

    He Jieying required Ye Yu to finish choosing from these more than fifty female immortals within two days!

    On average, he had to meet one person in less than half an hour.

    And he couldn’t even take a break at night.

    Ye Yu felt quite helpless.
