Seventh Dorm Leader

"Of course it's true. Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu didn't notice anything unusual about his words. Instead, she asked happily, "Brother, you've been waiting for me all this time?"

"Of course. Come on!"

"Let's enter the academy first!"

Bai Ying took the bag from her waist and led her into the academy.

"You entered the academy as a work-study student."

"That's right, Brother. Is something wrong?"

"Nothing, Xiao Wu. It's like this: I have a room in the academy. There's a bed in it, and it's just big enough for two people. The room is quite spacious too, so why don't you live with me?"

"Sure, then let's go!"

Xiao Wu's face was filled with an incredibly happy smile. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with stars, radiating joy and reassurance from the bottom of her heart. As she looked at Bai Ying before her, she silently thought, I've finally found my brother. The feeling of having regained what she had lost made her entire world grow bright again.

They arrived at the teachers' dormitory. Bai Ying carefully helped Xiao Wu organize her things, gently placing each item in the most suitable spot. Xiao Wu's clothes were neatly hung in the wardrobe, her books were sorted onto the bookshelf, and her daily necessities were placed somewhere convenient to reach. Everything felt so warm and cozy, just like home.

Meanwhile, Tang San, on the other side, quickly became the leader of Seven House after the afternoon's intervention.

Just then, a teacher walked in and said, "Teacher Bai, I heard you took a work-study student away?"

"Is there a problem?"

"It's like this. According to the academy's regulations, only teachers can live in the teachers' dormitory. Students aren't allowed to live with teachers. This is the rule, and I hope you can understand."

The teacher was extremely respectful. Clearly, he could tell that Bai Ying held a high position in the Spirit Hall. Perhaps the dean had also given him some instructions.

"Also, work-study students have to do labor. Besides, it would certainly be somewhat inconvenient for this young girl to live with you in the teachers' dormitory."

Bai Ying said, "What regulation? Which regulation says that a student can't live with a teacher? Besides, should I have a chat with the dean about this?"

"Fine. I won't make things difficult for you. I'll first take my younger sister to see the conditions in the work-study students' dormitory. If the conditions are acceptable, I'll have her move there. But if I feel they aren't, then she won't move. If necessary, I'll pay her tuition myself."

"Of course, of course."

After seeing the teacher out, Xiao Wu said, "Brother, why don't I move out?"

"I'll take you to see the conditions in the work-study students' dormitory first. If they really aren't suitable, I'll find the dean and think of a solution."

After arriving at the work-study students' dormitory, they saw Tang San sitting cross-legged on a bed. The other members of Seven House looked over in confusion and asked, "Two more people have come?"

Tang San opened his eyes and immediately saw a familiar figure. He jumped off the bed and respectfully said, "Hello, Teacher."

Bai Ying nodded.

"What? He's actually a teacher? Is there some mistake? He doesn't look much older than us, yet he's become a teacher."

"Is this the work-study students' dormitory? It looks so lively."

"Brother, I like it here."

"Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing. I'm also a work-study student."

"Are work-study students just like them?"

Tang San gave a light cough and said, "It's like this. Everyone who enters this dormitory has to spar. Teacher, do you think that's all right? Whoever wins becomes the leader of this dormitory."

"A spar sounds like fun. Brother, can I?" Xiao Wu asked.

Everyone looked toward Bai Ying. He nodded without refusing.

"I'd also like to see what your abilities are really like."

"All right."

Before Tang San could react, Xiao Wu stepped forward with her right foot and attacked him.

Tang San was indeed Tang San. He shifted slightly to the right and dodged Xiao Wu's kick, then grabbed her ankle and hurled her forward.

If she had been an ordinary person, that move would have sent her flying. But Xiao Wu was extremely flexible. She immediately adjusted her body and used her Soft Skill.

Her legs swiftly wrapped around Tang San's neck. Relying on her own flexibility, she threw Tang San out.

Bai Ying could clearly tell that Tang San hadn't used his full strength. If he had, Xiao Wu probably wouldn't have lasted a single round.

"According to the rules of our dormitory, you're now the leader of Seven House."

"Leader? That sounds pretty interesting. Brother, I was impressive, right?"

"Impressive. Very impressive."

The dean, who had hurried over after receiving the news, pushed open the door and saw Bai Ying. The moment he saw this troublesome ancestor, he hurriedly said, "Teacher Bai, what brings you to the work-study students' dormitory?"

"Nothing. This was just some playful sparring between children. By the way, my younger sister and I need to live in the teachers' dormitory. Is that a problem?"

The dean glanced at Xiao Wu and said, "What are you saying? Of course there's no problem."

"May I ask whether you need anything else?"

"All right, then. Since there's nothing else, you can leave for now. I still have something to do."

"What exactly is Teacher Bai's identity? Why is the dean treating him with such respect?"

After the dean left, the students gathered around, chattering excitedly. "Leader, your brother is amazing. Even the dean treats him with such respect."

Xiao Wu was equally proud. She said, "Of course. He's my brother, and he's incredibly powerful. He has already broken through to the third ring."

"Three-Ring Soul Master!"

Everyone's eyes turned toward Bai Ying. He merely smiled and said, "It was only a stroke of luck. All right, since Xiao Wu has become the leader of this dormitory, you can come to the teachers' dormitory to find me if anything happens in the future. If anyone bullies you, you can come to me too. I'll stand up for you."

"Is that true? That's great! With Teacher Bai here, those noble students won't look down on us anymore."

At that moment, Tang San felt something strange. He seemed to vaguely sense that Xiao Wu was very important to him.

Why would I have such a feeling? Why do I feel this way about a little girl? What's going on?

Xiao Wu really wanted to stay there, but how could Bai Ying agree? He didn't want Tang San and Xiao Wu to develop such a relationship. Otherwise, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

"Brother, why not? I want to live with my classmates. Why can't I?"

Bai Ying said, "Because you can't. You're a girl. What would it look like for you to stay in a dormitory with boys?"

"Besides, if something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your mother?"
