Time passed, and soon it was the week before Tiangong Supernatural Ability Academy opened for the new school year.
Students could check in early during the week before classes began.
On this day, Lu Yuan and Jiang Xuanran, who had received advance notice, arrived at Shencheng Supernatural University.

Lu Yuan, however, didn't seem bothered. He only smiled faintly.

Jiang Xuanran nodded and said, "Mm, little Qingyin."
Song Liyuan then went over to a nearby bookshelf and gently shifted the position
