"Why?" Lin Chen also took the lunch box and handed it to Xiao Hei.

The trio of Xiaobai were also drooling over Bai Ling's dessert, and with Lin Chen's permission, they started eating immediately.

However, the Big White Bear didn't dare to eat much and only took a small bite because it felt like a useless bear at the moment and didn't want to waste food.

But Xiao Hong wouldn't allow it. Seeing it stop eating, she directly handed what she had eaten to it and patted her belly, saying she was too full to continue.

The Big White Bear hesitated for a long while before finally eating, seeing Xiao Hong's full belly.

Watching this scene, Lin Chen smiled, and Bai Ling pouted as she said, "The teacher said there are no more tickets, the academy's spots are all taken."

Lin Chen was stunned on the spot.

How could the spots be full?

This is a domestic competition, and since Spirit Academy is one of the participants, Liu Gu could bring as many as he wanted.

However, knowing Liu Gu's affection for Bai Ling, he must have his reasons for saying so.

Therefore, after pondering, he said, "Indeed, it's fully booked. Even if you went, there'd be no seats."

"Oh~~~ I really wanted to cheer for Xiaobai and the others," Bai Ling sighed.

"Moo!!"

Xiaobai tapped its horn with its hoof, indicating it got the message.

While they were chatting, Liu Gu also came over, his face beaming with a smile as he said, "Well done, your evaluations outside are very high now."

After saying that, Liu Gu continued, "You injured both of Gao Ben's Spirit Beasts, which means they're already down a point in the upcoming matches."

"He deserved it. Xiaobai's speed is fast, and Thousand Shadows Unification couldn't react, making it normal. The Super Fireball's speed could easily force him to surrender beforehand."

Hearing this, Lin Chen thought of something and said, "If that's the case, won't the competition be unable to maintain full capacity as it progresses?"

"That's why I told you before, unless it's a crucial competition, the first thing to ensure is the Spirit Beasts' safety."

Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully.

"We're entering the knockout stage, so there won't be any matches for the next twenty days," Liu Gu said. "The academy has already found you a detached house, you can go there now."

Lin Chen was delighted to hear this.

If it's just one person, staying in an inn would be fine.

But for Xiaobai and the others to train, a detached house is best.

Lin Chen also hoped they could maintain their cultivation state and touch.

"Can I go too?" Bai Ling looked at Liu Gu with expectation.

"No," Liu Gu glared, and Bai Ling immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

Lin Chen was a bit puzzled, but Liu Gu explained, "With the espionage cases buzzing outside, getting close to Lin Chen and them now isn't a good idea."

Only then did Bai Ling understand, nodding her head.

"Bai Ling, weren't you supposed to deliver medicine to the old master?"

"Oh, right, nearly forgot." Bai Ling somehow pulled out another lunch box, greeted Bai Ling, and headed upstairs.

After she left, Liu Gu said, "I'm not letting her go to the scene, this matter..."

"She's already told me," Lin Chen interrupted.

Liu Gu was a bit tense, but Lin Chen continued, "Don't worry, teacher, I won't expose the truth."

Liu Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Chen kept observing his expression and then asked, "Teacher, is Bai Ling involved with the National Master's Institute?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Gu looked tensely outside, ensuring no one was around, and still lowered his voice:

"Telling you this is practically leaking secrets."

"But you're smart; even if I don't tell you, you could probably guess."

Hearing this, Lin Chen said, "Joining the National Master's Institute is a good thing. Why are you so tense?"

Lin Chen vaguely suspected something.

He had learned from some archives before that the National Master's Institute comprised people selected more for their luck than strength.

Entering it often had something to do with fate.

Liu Gu sighed deeply and then looked at Lin Chen seriously, "What I'm about to say, you absolutely cannot tell anyone."

"Unless you want to kill Bai Ling."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen thought the matter was so serious, and suddenly, a bold idea was born in his mind. He was surprised and said, "Teacher, you can't mean Bai Ling, she..."
