Ji Lin smiled slightly as he watched Xiao Xiao skipping along beside him, and a hint of joy rose in his heart. He asked softly, "Xiao Xiao, you seem very happy today."
Xiao Xiao turned her head, her face blooming with a brilliant smile and her eyes sparkling with excitement. She said eagerly, "Of course I'm happy! We won the New Student Assessment championship, and I even got a soul bone. A soul bone!"

Ji Lin reassured her, "You don't need to worry about that. Yuhao isn't that fragile. Besides, the Soul Tool Department had their eye on him long ago. Becoming a Core Disciple of the Soul Tool Department is practically guaranteed."

Wang Qiuer nodded as well. "Perfect. I have something to ask you too."
Ji Lin glanced around. The passing students were all looking at them
