Spirit Hall Academy

Over the next stretch of time, Ning Weiyang's group of four shared a carriage with Huang Huixin and the others. The journey was quiet.

No matter how much Jiang Qingning and Xia Qiu disliked Ning Weiyang, they did not show it on their faces.

The two of them sat together, while Ning Weiyang sat with Huang Huixin, and Goreya sat with Chen Yulin.

In the quiet carriage, only their breathing could be heard.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Chen Yulin was a little unaccustomed to it, but without Huang Huixin's permission, he did not dare speak. He could only idly poke at Goreya's hair and face.

"..."

Goreya had just been about to close his eyes and rest when Chen Yulin woke him up.

He shot Chen Yulin a resentful look. Chen Yulin merely smiled faintly, making Goreya feel uneasy.

He hurriedly looked away, thinking, Isn't it enough that I won't sleep?

"..."

Chen Yulin chuckled softly, quite satisfied with Goreya's reaction.

Then, he glanced at Jiang Qingning and Xia Qiu.

Faced with Chen Yulin's sudden gaze, the two of them avoided his eyes as well.

After being watched for so long, they both began to feel restless.

Only Ning Weiyang, seated beside Huang Huixin, remained completely unaffected.

She rested with her eyes closed, and no one disturbed her.

Goreya felt that Chen Yulin was deliberately targeting him.

Before long, the carriage arrived at Spirit City.

Spirit Hall Academy was located in the center of Spirit City, beside Spirit Hall. The two were not far apart, only a little over ten minutes away.

As the carriage entered Spirit City, Ning Weiyang opened her eyes, raised a hand to lift the curtain, and looked outside.

It had been some time past noon. The sun hanging high overhead was obscured by clouds, and the weather was pleasantly cool.

The shops lining the streets were open, and the city bustled with voices and activity.

Hearing the cries of vendors outside, Jiang Qingning also wanted to lean out and take a look. However, she and Xia Qiu were seated in the middle, with windows on neither side available to them.

Chen Yulin picked up his flute, lifted the curtain on his side, and looked out the window as well.

Although Spirit City was not as vast as Heaven Dou City, the number of people coming and going was no less than in Heaven Dou City.

After all, this city stood between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Travelers between the two empires would all choose to stop and rest in Spirit City.

Of course, some small-time vendors also brought goods unavailable in Spirit City from within the two great empires to sell here for profit.

Chen Yulin liked lively places. Watching the scene outside, the corners of his lips lifted slightly. "Huixin, once we get these little ones settled, how about we come out and have a look around?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Huang Huixin with a faint smile.

"..."

Huang Huixin coughed lightly and glared at Chen Yulin.

The students were still here. She had to maintain her image.

Understanding Huang Huixin's meaning, Chen Yulin silently put away his smile.

A trace of helplessness flashed across his face, but he said nothing.

Ten minutes later.

Outside Spirit Hall Academy.

The carriage slowly came to a stop.

Huang Huixin and Chen Yulin got out first.

Spirit Hall Academy was a medium-sized Soul Master Academy. Its grounds were not especially vast, yet it possessed a remarkably strong foundation.

The talented students gathered here were no fewer than those at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Most famous among them was the group of rising stars that had suddenly appeared in recent years—the Golden Generation.

Outside the academy stood several soldiers clad in armor.

Huang Huixin took out the token exchanged with Spirit Hall Academy and said, "We are teachers here to escort the exchange students from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Please allow us through."

The soldiers looked at the token in Huang Huixin's hand, then exchanged glances. They put away their weapons and made way.

Huang Huixin put away the token and motioned for Chen Yulin to call Ning Weiyang and the others.

At that moment, a bespectacled female teacher emerged from Spirit Hall Academy.

When she saw Huang Huixin, her eyes narrowed slightly. "Your people from Heaven Dou Royal Academy really are slow. You're only arriving now."
