How Could the Difference Between People Be So Huge?

It was September 1.

"Let's go, Dongfang. Let's register together."

Mofan arrived outside Dongfang Chen's residence.

After learning that Dongfang Chen had also been admitted to Mingzhu Academy, he came to invite him to register together.

Mofan had come to Magic City half a year ago and joined the Qingtian Hunter Club.

Over the past six months, Mofan had worked desperately to make money. He had finally saved up enough to buy the expensive Fire Element Spirit Seed, Mei Yan.

That's right, it was Mei Yan.

Back then, after Dongfang Chen had accompanied Tang Yue and casually dealt with her mission target, Chao He, Dongfang Chen had his family bring Mei Yan back.

His original intention had been to let one of the younger members of the family absorb it.

However, the Dongfang Family was no longer short of money. For example, talented younger members like Dongfang Lie had already been equipped with decent Spirit Seeds long ago, after advancing to the Intermediate Level.

Therefore, the Dongfang Family had transferred Mei Yan to an auction house.

It eventually made its way into Mofan's hands.

"I'm coming."

Dongfang Chen's voice rang out.

He then walked out of the villa with Ye Xin Xia and the two delicate little beauties, Ding Yumian and Ye Xin Xia.

During this period, although Mofan had kept in contact with Dongfang Chen, this was still Mofan's first time visiting Dongfang Chen's residence.

The instant he saw Ding Yumian, his mouth fell wide open.

"This... you... when did you get another girlfriend?"

Mofan asked instinctively.

When Ding Yumian heard what Mofan said, her face immediately flushed, and she lowered her head.

Mofan had thought that it was already remarkable for Dongfang Chen to let Ye Xin Xia and Mu Ningxue coexist peacefully.

He had never expected another one to join them.

"Don't talk nonsense. Yumian isn't my girlfriend."

After hearing Dongfang Chen's clarification,

Ding Yumian's eyes dimmed slightly.

Although she and Dongfang Chen had lived together for the past year, their relationship had yet to make any breakthrough.

After all, there was also Ye Xin Xia between them. Knowing about Dongfang Chen and Ye Xin Xia's relationship, Ding Yumian could not bring herself to do something like seducing someone else's boyfriend.

"Still, I'd like to have a girlfriend like Yumian. Unfortunately, Yumian probably doesn't like me."

I do!

Ding Yumian really wanted to summon the courage to say those words, but when they reached her lips, she shrank back.

Ye Xin Xia blinked from the side.

She did not mind Brother Chen being together with Yumian.

After all, dealing with Brother Chen by herself was rather exhausting.

Especially during the two days after Brother Chen finished cultivating and came out, she had been so tired that she practically collapsed onto the bed every day.

Although soft and cute Xin Xia loved Brother Chen to the extreme, sometimes she still felt just a tiny bit jealous.

Therefore, seeing that neither of them had broken through that barrier, Ye Xin Xia did not take the initiative to bring them together.

"All right, registration is about to begin. Hurry over."

Dongfang Chen urged them.

"Right, we can get to know our roommates while we're at it."

A few days earlier, Mofan had successfully been admitted to Mingzhu Academy through the Summoning Element. However, he had not chosen to live on campus and instead continued working as a Hunter Mage, taking on missions.

Ever since Mofan had advanced to the Intermediate Level, the cultivation resources he needed had increased several times over.

With no background and no affiliation with any faction, the only way for him to obtain cultivation resources was to earn money himself.

Mofan was practically becoming a money-making fiend.

After arriving at Mingzhu Academy,

Ye Xin Xia and Ding Yumian went to the Girls' Dormitory together.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Chen and Mofan headed toward the boys' dormitory.

Although the school had assigned a dormitory to every student, Dongfang Chen had no intention of living on campus.

If he lived there, how could he cuddle with soft and cute Xin Xia at night?

That shy little girl, Ding Yumian, would not be able to eavesdrop on the action either.

Because he had taken a year off, the school had directly placed Dongfang Chen among this year's New Students.

"Gasp! He's back!"

"Could he be last year's New Student Great Demon King?"

"That's right! Back then, none of the students in the same year could last three moves against him!"

As Dongfang Chen walked along the school grounds, quite a few senior students recognized him.

After all, the shadow Dongfang Chen had left over all the New Students back then had been simply too great.

Dongfang Chen greeted them warmly.

However, as though they had seen a ghost, they all lowered their heads and hurried away.

"Dongfang, why does it feel like everyone knows you? And why are they so afraid of you?"

Mofan had not come to register last year, so he had no idea what had happened at the school.

"If you beat up all the New Students, they'd know you too."

Dongfang Chen said.

Although he had not beaten up every New Student last year, he had come close.

After all, by then, practically no one dared to take the stage and challenge him anymore.

"Gasp! You really cause trouble wherever you go, don't you?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Chen gave Mofan an annoyed glance.

What right does the troublemaker from the Original Work have to say that about me?

Dongfang Chen and Mofan happened to be assigned to the same dormitory. It was quite a coincidence.

When the two reached the dormitory entrance, a curly-haired man walked out.

Upon seeing them, he greeted Dongfang Chen.

"Dongfang Chen? You're in this dormitory too?"

This person was the second young master of Magic City's Zhao Clan, Zhao Manyan.

The Dongfang Family had risen rapidly over the years because of its pill business, already making many factions envious.

However, Dongfang Mo, the current Dongfang Family Patriarch and Dongfang Chen's uncle,

was very clever. He had not allowed the Dongfang Family to monopolize all the profits from the pills.

First, he used the pills to establish close cooperation with the Military Department.

Then he joined forces with the Zhao Clan, the Mu Family, the Bai Family, and several other major families in Magic City's circles to establish a Trade Association.

Although the Dongfang Family still held the largest share of the pill business, the other members of the Trade Association had also gotten their share of the profits.

Precisely because the Dongfang Family and the Zhao Clan had close business ties, Zhao Manyan knew Dongfang Chen.

Even in terms of family status, Zhao Manyan was still a level below Dongfang Chen.

Although Zhao Manyan was the second young master of the Zhao Clan, his status within the family was not particularly high.

As for Dongfang Chen, he practically had all the Dongfang Family's affection concentrated on him alone. As long as he wanted to, he could immediately become the Dongfang Family Patriarch.

Zhao Manyan could not compare with that.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mofan, also from Bocheng, just like me."

Dongfang Chen introduced Mofan to Zhao Manyan.

"Mofan? Nice to meet you. My name is Zhao Manyan."

The three chatted at the dormitory entrance.

Although Zhao Manyan was more familiar with Dongfang Chen, he ended up talking more with Mofan.

The two of them were like kindred spirits who had hit it off at first sight.

"You two, I've arranged to have lunch with a senior student, so I'll be leaving first."

After chatting for a while, Zhao Manyan glanced at the time and left.

"Mm. I've also arranged to have lunch with Xin Xia and Yumian. You can make your own bed."

Since Dongfang Chen did not intend to live in the dormitory, he had only laid out his bed casually and placed some personal belongings there.

Mofan, on the other hand, planned to live in the dormitory long-term, so he had brought quite a lot of things to organize.

"Go, go, go. People living the good life deserve to die!"

Mofan disdainfully gave Dongfang Chen the middle finger.

Zhao Manyan had arranged to have lunch with a senior student, Dongfang Chen had Ye Xin Xia and Ding Yumian, two beautiful girls, while he had to suffer through making his bed in the dormitory.

How could the difference between people be so huge?

Mofan thought resentfully.
