Enrollment

Ye Liangchen had successfully obtained his first soul ring, and it was even a 999-year soul ring, which left Shui Lingfeng extremely excited. She specially prepared a lavish dinner and called Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er back as well, so the whole family could celebrate for the little guy.

"Bing'er, Yue'er, Little Chen will be enrolling tomorrow. You two need to help him more at school, understand?"

After dinner, Lan Xiao Die arranged Ye Liangchen's enrollment. She knew the little guy usually liked peace and quiet, but she was also afraid he would feel lonely, so she had Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er keep him company more at school, letting him have a happy childhood.

"Mom! Don't worry! We'll take good care of Little Chen." Shui Bing'er waved her little hand and promised her mother.

"Little Chen! You're going to school with us. Are you happy?"

Shui Yue'er grew very excited at the thought of it, her little face smiling like a crescent moon, incredibly adorable.

"I guess so!"

When it came to going to school, Ye Liangchen was unwilling at heart. He knew more than the academy's teachers did about that bit of Soul Master cultivation knowledge, and there was nothing much for him to learn. Besides, the academy's teachers could not teach him anything.

In his previous life, he had lived for almost twenty years, and twelve of those years had been spent in school. After transmigrating to this otherworld, he still had to go to school again. This was fate!

According to Tianshui's graduation requirements for advanced students, one had to cultivate to at least level 40. Given his cultivation speed, he estimated that would not happen until after he turned twelve. Calculated that way, he still had to stay in school for several years.

Unfortunately, he was only a six-year-old child right now, so he had no way to refute the adults' arrangements.

Still, fortunately, this world did not have all kinds of midterms and final exams like his previous life, nor did it have brain-burning math problems, so it was still very relaxed.

"Little Chen! Don't be unhappy. Isn't it great to study together with Bing'er and Yue'er?"

"Grandma will take you to see your house first. While you were away in the Star Dou Forest, Grandma had already built a courtyard for you."

Shui Lingfeng comforted Ye Liangchen with a few words, then took the little guy's hand and walked toward a beautiful courtyard in the distance.

"Daughter! After Little Chen starts school, he'll have to begin being independent, but he's still only a six-year-old child after all. Let Bing'er and Yue'er move into Little Chen's courtyard. That way, the three little ones can look after one another."

"Mother! Even if you hadn't said it, we would have arranged that."

Shui Lingfeng, her daughter, and Lan Xiao Die exchanged glances and felt this method was quite good. In any case, these three little ones would be family in the future. Feelings between childhood sweethearts had to be nurtured from a young age, only then would they be unbreakable.

"Sis! We're going to live in that courtyard with Little Chen. This is great."

"Mm! Then let's go to the school dormitory and move our things over right away."

When Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er heard the elders make such an arrangement, they were so happy they jumped up and immediately ran back to the school dormitory to move their things.

"Dean Grandma, Aunt Lan. Didn't you say I had to learn to be independent? Why are you still letting the two sisters live with me? How am I supposed to be independent then?"

Ye Liangchen was very helpless. He had finally gotten a courtyard of his own and thought that now he finally had his own independent space. Before he even had time to be happy, however, arrangements had been made in the blink of an eye.

"Little Chen, be good! Listen to Auntie's arrangements."

"Bing'er and Yue'er are also your sisters. You all need to grow up together and take care of one another, okay?"

The Lan Xiao Die sisters smiled, crouched down, and reached out to rub Ye Liangchen's head. Looking at the little guy's utterly baffled expression, they found it extremely amusing.

Seeing the aunty-like smiles spread across Lan Xiao Die and her sister's faces, Ye Liangchen inwardly cried, Damn it! So this is the routine they're playing!

But it did not matter. In any case, they would not harm him. In front of his elders, he would just be an obedient good boy.

In any case, the Primordial Chaos Sutra, Five Elements Divine Fist, and those Sword Techniques had already been made known to Lan Xiao Die and the others. In the future, the Shui Bing'er sisters would definitely cultivate them too, and he could openly cultivate all kinds of divine skills without worrying about anything abnormal anymore.

Fortunately, some time ago, he had placed these Cultivation Techniques into the Jade Pendant Soul Guidance Device, making Lan Xiao Die and the others think they had been left behind by his parents. Otherwise, if he wanted to cultivate these divine skills, he could only cultivate them in secret like little Tang San next door.

As for other matters, he would consider them after he grew up. For now, he would cultivate first and work hard to improve his strength. In this cruel otherworld, only by possessing great strength could one have everything.

The place where Ye Liangchen lived now was beside a stretch of woods about two hundred meters from Lan Xiao Die's office building, and about a thousand meters from the Teaching Building.

This courtyard occupied an area of roughly more than two thousand square meters and was completely enclosed by walls. There was a white two-story building, estimated at four hundred square meters, decorated extremely beautifully. Some flowers, plants, and trees had been planted around the house. To the front left, there was also a small pond, with lotus flowers planted in it and some goldfish raised there. Beside the pond was a pavilion. To the left of the house, there was an open space of about five hundred square meters, which Shui Lingfeng had specially asked the architects to create as Ye Liangchen's cultivation ground.

The entire courtyard was extremely beautiful. Far from the noisy school sports field, it seemed exceptionally quiet and secluded, an excellent place suited for peaceful cultivation.

"Little Chen! Well? Do you like the Estate Grandma built for you?"

Walking into the Estate, Shui Lingfeng cheerfully introduced the courtyard to Ye Liangchen. She had specifically gone into the city and invited several Soul Masters skilled in construction, and after they had busied themselves for more than a month, they had finally created this luxurious Estate.

"Thank you, Grandma! This courtyard is so beautiful."

Ye Liangchen looked at this luxurious Estate and thought that his treatment was far too good. If this were on Blue Star in his previous life, only the super rich could afford to live in a place like this!

"Little Chen! Why don't you give this manor a name?" Lan Xiao Die said with a smile.

"Then let's call it Quiet Leisure Manor! Dean Grandma, Aunt Lan, what do you think of this name?"

"Quiet Leisure Manor? Peaceful and untroubled like drifting clouds. A good name. Little Chen really is amazing."

When they heard that Ye Liangchen had actually come up with such a pleasant name, they were very gratified.

"Wow! We're here!"

At that moment, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had also moved back their belongings from the dormitory. Looking at this luxurious Estate, the two little girls were extremely excited.

"Bing'er, Yue'er, you must take good care of your little brother in the future, understand?" Shui Lingfeng said to her two granddaughters with a smile.

"Grandma, don't worry! We'll take good care of Little Chen." The two little girls waved their fists, indicating there was no problem.

"Little Chen, go to school with Bing'er and the others first thing tomorrow morning. If you're missing anything, just tell Auntie."

"We'll head back first. You three little ones will live here from now on."

Seeing that the Shui Bing'er sisters had returned, Shui Lingfeng, her daughter, and Lan Xiao Die gave a few instructions, then returned to the office building to discuss the academy's future affairs.

"Thank you, Dean Grandma. Thank you, Aunt Lan. I'll definitely study hard."

Ye Liangchen waved goodbye to the three elders, then chose to live on the second floor. After all, living higher up felt more comfortable.

After pushing open the door, he found that the room was fully stocked with daily necessities—blankets, towels, everything. It was even more convenient than moving in with just a bag.

"Little Chen, aren't you going to live with us on the first floor? There are four rooms down there!"

After the Shui Bing'er sisters finished putting away their things, they ran into Ye Liangchen's room and asked curiously. They felt this little guy was doing it on purpose.

"I'll stay on the second floor, two big sisters!" Ye Liangchen chuckled.

Shui Yue'er said mischievously, "Hehe! Sis! Little Chen must be shy."

"All right, then! Little Chen, it's late, so get some rest. Remember to get up tomorrow morning and go to school with us." Shui Bing'er gave him a reminder, then pulled her younger sister down from the second floor.

"Got it!"

Ye Liangchen waved at the two girls, then began washing up, getting ready for bed.

Nothing happened overnight. At around eight o'clock the next morning, Ye Liangchen was sleeping soundly.

"Knock, knock..."

"Little Chen! Hurry and get up! After breakfast, we should head to school."

"You big lazy pig! Get up already! Don't tell me you're going to be late on your first day of school?"

Just then, the voices of the Shui Bing'er sisters rang out outside the door, directly waking Ye Liangchen up.

"Two big sisters, wait a moment. I'll be right there."

Ye Liangchen could only helplessly get up and get dressed. He washed up quickly, then ate breakfast in the hall together with the Shui Bing'er sisters before heading toward the school.

The three little ones had just gone out when they saw Teacher Su Lin standing at the Estate gate, quietly waiting for them, an auntie-like smile on her face.

"Teacher Su Lin! Why are you here?" the three greeted the woman.

"Of course I was waiting for you!"

"Bing'er, Yue'er, you two go to school first. I'll take Little Chen to the Dean of Studies to register, and we also need to have his school uniform custom-made. After that, I'll bring him to enroll."

Su Lin instructed the two little girls to go to school first, then led Ye Liangchen toward the Dean of Studies' office.

"All right! Teacher Su Lin." The two little girls skipped and hopped toward the school, like two little angels.

"Little Chen! Today, you'll officially become my student. How about it? Happy?"

Su Lin said to Ye Liangchen with a grin, even reaching out to rub his head.

"It's all right!" Ye Liangchen said calmly, thinking to himself, What's there to be happy about?

"Oh? Little guy! Looks like you're a little unhappy about going to school?"

Su Lin knew that this little guy liked cultivating alone and didn't like going to school. She had thought that since he was going to school with a bunch of girls, he was probably just shy.

"Teacher Su Lin! Let me make this clear first! After I start school, I won't learn dancing from you!"

Skywater Academy also had singing and dancing classes, and Su Lin was one of the school's dance teachers. Ye Liangchen really was afraid this woman would make him study those things.

"Pfft...! Don't worry. Teacher won't arrange those classes for you."

"But if Little Chen wants to learn, Teacher can teach you."

The corner of Su Lin's mouth crooked upward as she let out a wicked laugh. She even wanted to have this little guy try on women's clothes—it would definitely be very fun.

"Teacher Su Lin! Let's not talk about this topic anymore."

The moment Ye Liangchen saw that this woman seemed to be thinking of some prank, he felt she was a little unreliable.

"Pfft...! All right! Teacher was joking with you."

Su Lin let out a charming laugh, took Ye Liangchen's little hand, and quickly walked toward the Dean of Studies' office.

The Dean of Studies was Mu Qingxue, forty-nine years old. Her Martial Soul was called Mystic Water Silk, and she was a level 76 control-type Soul Saint with decent strength. Although she was almost fifty, her charm still remained, and she looked only about thirty. She was also a great beauty.

Among the people of Skywater Academy, there were no ugly ones. Even the oldest Granny Li, though her face had many wrinkles, was still very elegant and kind-faced. It could be seen that when she was young, she had also been a great beauty.

At this moment, Mu Qingxue had already been waiting in the office for a long time. Seeing Su Lin and Ye Liangchen arrive, she immediately came forward to welcome them.

"Director! Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Teacher Su Lin! No need to be so polite."

When Su Lin and Mu Qingxue met, they naturally greeted each other.

"Teacher Mu, good morning."

Now that Ye Liangchen was an official student, he also had to greet the academy's teachers when he met them.

"Good morning, Student Little Chen."

"Come! Let's register the detailed situation of your spirit rings. The Dean said we need to record your Spirit Ring Years and include them in the academy's advanced teaching materials. In the future, we'll discuss the topic of how to exceed the Spirit Ring Years absorption limit."

Mu Qingxue took out a blank file specifically to record matters concerning Ye Liangchen.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Before long, Mu Qingxue finished recording Ye Liangchen's spirit ring information. Su Lin also used a measuring tape to measure Ye Liangchen's figure, making it convenient to custom-make his school uniform later.

After a round of back and forth, everything was finally settled. Su Lin also collected a few books for Ye Liangchen, then led him toward the junior classroom.

There were a little over five hundred junior soul master students in total, divided into ten classes. Students at this level all had Soul Power between rank 1 and rank 20.

To accommodate commoner soul masters, Skywater Academy allowed even those with innate rank 1 Soul Power to enroll. After some of them cultivated to a little over rank 10, if they felt it was too difficult to keep progressing, they would choose to graduate.

There were around four hundred students in the intermediate classes, all with Soul Power between rank 20 and rank 35. Students with average aptitude were usually already in their twenties by the time they cultivated to Soul Elder, and most of them would choose to graduate.

The advanced classes had the fewest students, only around a hundred. Talented students who were not too old would generally enter the advanced classes. After all, the minimum graduation requirement here was rank 40. Some students even stayed on as teachers after graduating, while others worked in Skywater City.

Ye Liangchen felt that Skywater Academy's teaching system was very good, giving these women more choices.

When Su Lin led Ye Liangchen into Shui Bing'er and the others' classroom, all fifty-plus students stood up one after another and shouted in unison.

"Welcome to the academy, Little Chen!"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The group of little girls even applauded to welcome him, as if they were receiving an honored guest.

As soon as Ye Liangchen saw this scene, he knew it had been arranged by Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and their group of girls.

"Hehe! You girls really know how to make things happen. I was originally planning to hold a welcome ceremony for Student Little Chen, but I didn't expect you to have already arranged it." Su Lin looked at this group of clever, mischievous girls, feeling very pleased.

"Teacher Su Lin! How could we let you worry about such a small thing? Having us is enough."

The Shui Bing'er sisters, Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others said with bright smiles. Seeing that Ye Liangchen had arrived, the girls were extremely excited.

"Little Chen! Say hello to everyone and introduce yourself. From now on, you're all classmates."

"Teacher Su Lin! There's no need to make it so formal, right?"

"You brat! Hurry up and introduce your name and Martial Soul to everyone. This is the enrollment rule, understand?"

"All right!"

Seeing that this woman insisted, Ye Liangchen could only introduce himself according to the rules of the Soul Master World.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Ye Liangchen. I'm six years old. My Martial Soul is Goddess, and I'm a rank 14 one-ring soul master. Please take care of me from now on."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The whole class applauded and cheered again. "Welcome again, Little Chen!"

"Little Chen is actually a rank 14 soul master too? That's amazing."

Some of the little girls had not seen Ye Liangchen's strength before. Now, hearing that this little guy actually had rank 14 Soul Power, they were extremely shocked.

"Little Chen, go find a seat. A teacher will come to class later."

Su Lin said softly, then walked out of the classroom.

"Yes! Teacher Su Lin."

As soon as Ye Liangchen finished speaking, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er immediately ran over and pulled him to the desk between the sisters. The two of them had already prepared a place for the little guy.

"Little Chen! Sit here from now on, with big sister." Shui Bing'er smiled.

"I want to go to the last row." Ye Liangchen felt that sitting in the first row, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, was a little uncomfortable.

"No." The Shui Bing'er sisters pressed Ye Liangchen down into the seat and refused to let him run to the seats in the last row.

"Hehe...! Little Chen, you want to sit in the last row because you're planning to doze off during class, right?"

"Too bad Bing'er and Yue'er won't give you that chance."

"Exactly, exactly..."

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the other girls laughed mischievously, chattering nonstop. The atmosphere was extremely cheerful.
