"Little squirrel, meet Lilith. From today onwards, she'll be your mentor."
As Ru's words registered in Xiao Zhi Yuan's mind, he was dumbfounded. He eyed the girl of an average height before him. There wasn't anything outstanding about her except for the fact that there seemed to be a glow and novelty on her small face.
"Mentor?" Xiao Zhi Yuan looked at Ru with raised brows.
Ru patted Lilith's skittish shoulder and said, "Yup! This young lady will help you in building up your internal strength. Her training will definitely help you." She omitted the part that the training was actually to teach him self-defense. In these years of adolescents, scuffles were common but Xiao Zhi Yuan was too lanky for her liking. She just wanted him to be a bit dandy in practical life as well.
After all, being a bookworm or a topper won't really come in handy when he'll have to face this world of conniving and wily adults.
