Enrolling at Nuoding Academy, Rooming with Gu Yuena
"Ah-choo!"
After sneezing, Su Mu raised his head.
He rubbed his nose.
All the way there, Su Mu had been pondering a question.
Why had Tang San reached level 10 in just a few days?
Su Mu could tell from the Interception Points.
Originally, intercepting Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill once had earned him 5 Interception Points. Now, each interception earned him 10.
He had assumed Tang San was simply working harder.
Now it seemed there had to be something else he had overlooked.
Although Tang San's Martial Soul was basically crippled now, the exact abilities of Clear Sky Grass were still unknown.
Kill Tang San?
At that thought, Su Mu shook his head.
Even if he killed Tang San, he had to wait until he became a god and ascended, so he could wipe out the Clear Sky Sect at the same time.
Without the power to destroy the Clear Sky Sect, he couldn't make a move lightly.
Otherwise, trouble would come knocking at his door in an endless stream.
Suddenly, Su Mu thought of a solution.
Join Nuoding Academy.
That way, he could at least stay in constant contact with Tang San.
But he still had to discuss it with the master he had picked up and get his consent.
With that in mind, Su Mu quickened his pace.
"Master, I want to go to school!"
After returning to Spirit Hall in Nuoding City, Su Mu found Golden Crocodile Douluo and spoke to him.
"Good!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes lit up at Su Mu's suggestion.
School sounds good. I'll take him back to Spirit City and have him beat up the youngsters of the other Worships, every last one of them.
I can beat you lot up, and my disciple can beat up your sons and grandsons.
"Come on, let's return to Spirit City now. I'll take you to register at Spirit Hall Academy."
Golden Crocodile Douluo rose to his feet.
"Master, I meant I want to attend school here in Nuoding City."
Seeing how excited Golden Crocodile Douluo was, Su Mu explained.
"What? Isn't having me as your teacher enough?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's face hardened.
"Of course it is."
"Who are you? You're a level 98 Super Douluo."
"The Second Worship of Spirit Hall, admired by all."
Su Mu smiled as he flattered him.
Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression soften, Su Mu explained again.
"I'm not going there to study."
"I just want to spend some time with people my own age."
"You know~"
As he spoke, Su Mu cast Golden Crocodile Douluo a flirtatious glance.
Pressed for an answer, Su Mu could only come up with an excuse like that.
Otherwise, he would definitely get beaten up.
"Suit yourself."
Golden Crocodile Douluo gave Su Mu a peculiar look.
He waved a hand.
Watching Su Mu leave, Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly.
He glanced in the direction of the Soul Hunting Forest.
Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.
Su Mu reached the door to the principal's office.
Just as he was about to knock,
the door was opened from the inside.
A slender figure with long silver hair
stepped out.
She bumped squarely into Su Mu's chest.
"Ah~"
Caught off guard, the girl cried out.
She took two steps back.
"I'm sorry."
The girl hurriedly apologized to Su Mu.
She raised her head and tucked the hair at her temple behind her ear.
She looked rather awkward.
Seeing Su Mu standing there without responding,
the girl smiled and waved at him.
Then she went on her way.
Su Mu turned to look at the girl's retreating figure, checking once more.
He was stunned.
Isn't that Gu Yuena?
Why is she here at this time?
And why does she look exactly like the figure in my dream from behind?
"Hello, what are you here for?"
A voice from inside the office interrupted Su Mu's thoughts.
Only then did Su Mu come back to his senses, his expression growing serious.
After a moment's thought, he took out Golden Crocodile Douluo's Worship Token.
He walked over.
After leaving the office, Su Mu remained somewhat distracted.
First, Tang San had suddenly risen from level 1.25 to level 10 in just a few days.
Then Gu Yuena had actually appeared at Nuoding Academy.
And what on earth was that dream about?
Why did that figure touch my forehead with a finger?
"Hello, my name is Gu Yuena."
Hearing the voice, Su Mu stopped and raised his head. It was the girl with the silver hair.
Holy shit, she didn't call herself Na'er or Gu Yue.
She called herself Gu Yuena!
On second thought, Su Mu realized that made sense.
Other than him, no one here knew who Gu Yuena was.
But wasn't she supposed to be healing?
"Hey, why aren't you answering me?"
Gu Yuena took a few steps toward Su Mu and waved a hand in front of his eyes.
"Hello, my name is Su Mu."
Su Mu spoke after coming back to his senses.
"Are you a student too?"
Gu Yuena blinked her purple eyes as she asked.
"Yes, I am," Su Mu replied.
Seeing this, Su Mu felt that something was off.
She had called herself Gu Yuena, so why was she acting so much like a young girl?
Something's not right.
"Let's go. Didn't the principal tell us to go to the dormitory first and start classes tomorrow?"
Gu Yuena called out to him.
Su Mu had no choice but to follow Gu Yuena toward the dormitory.
"What?"
"There's only one dorm room left?"
Su Mu demanded, looking at the old man in charge of the dormitory.
He grumbled inwardly, Come on, don't do this. This isn't a hotel.
It's a dormitory.
And my roommate is Gu Yuena.
"You're transfer students."
"We had a hard enough time freeing up this room."
"Besides, all the rooms here are doubles."
"You're just kids. It's perfectly normal."
As he spoke, the old man impatiently held out a key.
Su Mu had been about to refuse, but then he thought about running back and forth between Spirit Hall and the academy every day.
That wasn't practical either. While he was lost in thought,
"Let's go."
"I'll take the key. You take the bedding."
Gu Yuena took the dormitory key from the old man and waved it at Su Mu.
After leaving him with those words, she headed toward the dormitory.
Su Mu shook his head and picked up the two sets of bedding.
He hurried after Gu Yuena.
He hoped she was just a simple soul that had been split off.
When they reached the dorm room, Su Mu frowned at its condition.
Though there were signs it had been cleaned, there was still a lot of dust.
Su Mu sighed and began tidying up.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena eagerly joined in to help him.
It had already been afternoon when they registered.
By the time they finished cleaning, the sky was gradually growing dark.
After resting for a while, Su Mu took Gu Yuena to the barbecue stall where he had left a Gold Soul Coin on deposit.
To Su Mu's surprise,
Gu Yuena ate one and a half Soft Bone Rabbits.
But Su Mu noticed that Gu Yuena was curious about many things.
That set Su Mu's mind slightly at ease.
After they had eaten their fill, Su Mu took Gu Yuena back to the dormitory.
One of their beds was against the eastern wall of the room, and the other was against the western wall.
Su Mu saw that Gu Yuena didn't seem to mind much.
He felt much more reassured.
Lying in bed, Su Mu couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did.
But he didn't dare look around, either.
So he lay there with his eyes closed, cultivating.
Suddenly, Su Mu felt the moonlight coming through the window being blocked.
He slowly opened his eyes a sliver.
