Under the starry night, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong finished the extra twenty laps Zhou Yi had assigned them, both panting from exhaustion.
After resting in the dorm for half an hour, Huo Yuhao packed up his stall and prepared to sell Grilled Fish at the academy's night market.
Wang Dong did not idle either. After resting for a while, she went shopping at the night market.
She planned to buy several pretty dresses and meet Su Qingfeng in her most beautiful form.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yi stood in her room, looking out over the entire Outer Court. She was waiting for Fan Yu to return.
Sure enough, less than an hour later, sounds came from outside the door, and Fan Yu pushed it open and entered.
Behind Fan Yu followed a woman around 1.7 meters tall. She looked to be only forty or fifty years old, with fair skin and black hair neatly pinned up. Her white clothes trimmed in gold made her look crisp and capable. Though no longer young, it was still clear that she must have been a peerless beauty in her youth.
"Dean Xian, why have you come too?"
Zhou Yi asked in surprise. Fan Yu had rushed out, only to return in the middle of the night with Dean Xian.
She had even put on her black stockings, waiting for Fan Yu to come back and help her vent some of the fire within her.
At the sight of Xian Lin'er, Zhou Yi quietly used her skirt to cover her stockings and hurriedly greeted her.
Xian Lin'er immediately took Zhou Yi's hand, her gaze blazing with excitement.
"Zhou Yi, can you take me to Qingfeng?"
Zhou Yi's entire body shook. As expected, she had come for Su Qingfeng!
Zhou Yi's thoughts became chaotic again. Dean Xian was actually this anxious?
Fan Yu had gone to report the news to Dean Xian, and after learning about this Specially Selected Student, Xian Lin'er, the head of an academy, had come to find her immediately in the middle of the night!
Just who was this Specially Selected Student? How exceptional must his talent be?
Could it be... this Specially Selected Student... was—
Zhou Yi's mind began racing. She had heard that Xian Lin'er and Dean Qian were husband and wife in name only and had never slept together. Could this Specially Selected Student be Dean Qian's illegitimate son?!
With that, everything could barely be explained.
"Dean Xian, who is Qingfeng? I've never heard of him," Zhou Yi asked suspiciously.
"Su Qingfeng. He's the Specially Selected Student you mentioned to me this evening," Fan Yu interjected.
"Ah, oh, which Specially Selected Student? His name is Su Qingfeng? I forgot. What is it?"
Zhou Yi began playing dumb.
Fan Yu rubbed his temples. His wife was not so easy to fool.
"Teacher Zhou Yi, please take me to him. We have something very important to discuss," Xian Lin'er said, looking at Zhou Yi.
"Uh... Dean Xian, I'm sorry. The Specially Selected Student is under Director Du Weilun's care. He isn't from our Class One, so I don't know where he is."
"Du Weilun? Good, good, good. As the Martial Soul Department's dean of instruction and my senior brother's capable assistant, it is only natural that my senior brother entrusted Qingfeng to him. I should have thought of that long ago."
After saying that, Xian Lin'er swept out of Zhou Yi's room like a gust of wind, heading off to find Du Weilun.
Fan Yu wanted to follow, but Zhou Yi grabbed him and cautiously asked,
"What exactly are you trying to do? Why did Dean Xian's senior brother get dragged into this? Could it be that Su Qingfeng isn't Dean Qian's son, but Xian Lin'er and Dean Yan's child? Dean Qian held a grudge and hid him away, which is why Dean Xian has been searching for him all this time?
Dean Qian is so awful! He even placed him in the Martial Soul Department's Outer Court. Heavens, what earth-shattering secret have I uncovered? Fan Yu, tell me quickly, is that it? It fits perfectly with what you said about his noble identity and why I couldn't see his face. You were afraid I'd discover that he looks like Dean Xian and Dean Yan, weren't you?!"
"Dean Xian and the others aren't going to kill us to silence us, are they?"
Zhou Yi gave full rein to her imagination and filled in an entire drama in her mind.
Fan Yu wore a strange expression as he flicked Zhou Yi on the forehead. "What are you thinking about? It's true that Dean Xian and Dean Yan both value Su Qingfeng greatly, but he definitely isn't their child. It's because of his talent. Su Qingfeng is not only an unparalleled genius of the Martial Soul Department, but also a top-tier Soul Engineer our Soul Tool Department wants to nurture. He has the potential to become a top Rank 9 Soul Engineer. Do you understand?"
"As for why I wouldn't let you see his face, that was a little selfishness on my part. One day, you'll understand."
After Fan Yu said that, Zhou Yi's thoughts became a mess again.
A top Rank 9 Soul Engineer? That was a super powerhouse comparable to a Titled Douluo.
That masked brat was almost twelve and had only a little over ten ranks of Soul Power. Could he really have such potential?
Around ten at night.
A breathtakingly beautiful young woman appeared in the Outer Court.
As she emerged from Shrek Academy's shopping center, even the clothing shop attendants scratched their heads in confusion. They clearly remembered that a handsome boy had gone in to change clothes, hadn't they?
Yet the one who came out had fair, tender skin, a pair of large pink-blue eyes, long curled lashes, a slender delicate figure, and long pink-blue wavy hair cascading down her back.
The pale blue golden butterfly dress she wore accentuated her flawless face, making her seem like a goddess descending upon the world. The Outer Court students erupted into an uproar.
There was actually such a peerless beauty in the Outer Court?
"Who is she? How can she be this pretty? She's even more beautiful than Jiang Nannan, the number one beauty of our Outer Court. This is unbelievable!"
"What is she carrying?"
"It looks like a love lunchbox. Oh my god! Who is it? Who deserves a goddess's love lunchbox!"
"/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ Does the goddess already belong to someone? I wanted to go chat her up!"
"If you like her, go for it! So what if she belongs to someone? If you get to sleep with her, it's a win!"
Tang Wutong tossed her hair, instantly enchanting countless people. She carried a pink lunchbox containing the loving dinner she had made for Su Qingfeng.
She passed several dozen meters from Huo Yuhao's Grilled Fish stall. Even Huo Yuhao was briefly captivated by her, but only briefly. Having seen Su Qingfeng's looks, he had a much higher resistance and quickly came to his senses.
"What a beautiful girl. She looks a little familiar, but she's still a bit lacking compared to Brother Qingfeng. I should start packing up too. I'll grill this highest-quality Azure Dragon Fish for Brother Qingfeng to try."
Huo Yuhao had spent a great deal of money on that Azure Dragon Fish. If he were to sell it, it would cost at least two Silver Soul Coins.
Tang Wutong happily walked toward the white dormitory building, though she felt a little nervous as she knocked on the door of Dorm 109.
The students following behind her were utterly heartbroken.
"I'm shattered! The goddess actually knocked on a male freshman's dorm room!"
"That seems to be the Specially Selected Student's dorm!" Some freshmen knew who lived in Dorm 109.
"It's over, it's over. Won't the goddess be filled with the Specially Selected Student's scent tonight? ┭┮﹏┭┮"
Hearing the knock, Su Qingfeng thought Huo Yuhao had come to deliver his dinner. He happened to be a little hungry, so he awoke from his cultivation.
The moment he opened the door, he saw a blushing young girl, like a flower bud about to bloom, standing before him...
