The Fairy Descends

Tang Wulin's voice was filled with barely concealed surprise and delight.

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward and threw himself into the girl's arms.

The girl was clearly taken aback, but then she opened her arms and let Tang Wulin embrace her.

Watching this scene, Chen Ye blinked.

He turned slightly to look at Gu Yue, only to find her expression perfectly calm. The irritation in her eyes had disappeared.

[She came after all. That brat. I went to all that trouble to get him into Shrek Academy, and now she's come over too. What for?]

[Well, whatever. Her being here does have its benefits. At least someone will be keeping an eye on Tang Wulin.]

[Tang Wulin is connected to the Golden Dragon King. Having Na'er come over to keep an eye on him isn't such a bad thing.]

Hearing Gu Yue's thoughts, Chen Ye's eyes flickered slightly. But before he could turn away, Gu Yue suddenly looked over, and their eyes met.

They held each other's gaze. Gu Yue's eyes carried a hint of scrutiny, but mostly curiosity.

[Why does Chen Ye keep looking at me? Does he like me? Should I make myself look prettier?]

Gu Yue paused, her eyes narrowing as she stared hard at Chen Ye.

[Chen Ye! If you dare listen to my thoughts again, you're done for.]

Hearing Gu Yue's thoughts, Chen Ye smiled, then promptly turned his gaze toward Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin had lifted his head from Na'er's embrace. He held her by the shoulders, his eyes full of worry.

"Na'er, what happened to you? Why did you leave before? Did someone threaten you?"

"You can tell me if something's wrong. I'll find a way to help."

Tang Wulin's face rarely showed such worry, but the girl shook her head. "I'm fine, big brother. My family came to take me away before."

"Then they had some things to deal with, so they decided to send me back and let me come here to study."

Na'er smiled as she explained herself to Tang Wulin, but her gaze was fixed on Gu Yue.

Although she was Gu Yue's human personality, the two had been separated by then.

So while Gu Yue could sense that she had arrived, she didn't know why or what had brought her here.

Gu Yue glanced at her but said nothing.

After all, she had known this would happen. She had been annoyed at first, but Na'er's arrival did have its benefits.

She could devote all her attention to Chen Ye and stop worrying about Tang Wulin.

While the two of them were talking, Xie Xie stepped in and took a couple of steps forward, giving a light cough.

"Wulin, is she your younger sister? Is she coming to study at Eastsea Academy?"

"Let's all go eat together, then we can find Teacher Wu and get your little sister enrolled." Xie Xie winked as he spoke.

Tang Wulin glanced at him, hesitated, then asked, "Na'er, did someone bring you here, or were you planning to sign up on your own?"

"My cousin is here. She's my cousin." Na'er's beautiful purple eyes shifted, and she pointed directly at Gu Yue.

Her words surprised everyone.

Everyone except Chen Ye turned to look at Gu Yue.

The two girls didn't look much alike, especially Na'er, who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll.

Gu Yue was pretty, but only in a plain, delicate way. She wasn't especially beautiful.

Yet standing together, they shared an inexplicable resemblance.

With everyone's eyes fixed on her, Gu Yue remained calm. She didn't answer Na'er directly, instead turning her head to look at Chen Ye.

When she saw that Chen Ye was also looking at Na'er, her brow furrowed slightly, and a strange feeling welled up inside her.

She didn't understand where the feeling came from, but seeing Chen Ye look at Na'er made her inexplicably unhappy.

"That's right, she's my younger sister. I can talk to Teacher Wu." Gu Yue's voice was ice-cold.

At her words, the others exchanged glances, at a loss.

Tang Wulin and the others were completely confused, but Wang Jinxi and the others instantly realized Gu Yue was angry.

They just couldn't figure out why.

Until then, Gu Yue had only ever worn that icy expression when Wei Xiaofeng got too close to Chen Ye.

"Isn't Brother Chen right beside her? Why's she mad again?" Wei Xiaofeng muttered, glancing at Gu Yue.

"Did one of us do something to upset her again? Is she going to beat us up?" Wang Jinxi chimed in from the side.

Both of them spoke in low voices, afraid Gu Yue might hear them.

"It's fine. Let's eat together, and afterward I'll take my sister to talk to Teacher Wu." Though Tang Wulin didn't quite understand what was going on, he still said this to Gu Yue.

He might have been a little dim, but he wasn't stupid. He could tell that Gu Yue and Na'er clearly weren't on good terms.

He didn't know why they disliked each other, but he still didn't want Na'er to be bullied.

Neither Gu Yue nor Na'er objected to Tang Wulin's suggestion.

Gu Yue stood there motionless, while Na'er's gaze moved between Tang Wulin and Chen Ye.

She looked at Chen Ye with curiosity, and Chen Ye was looking back at her.

[He's the one who has Gu Yue so utterly smitten that she doesn't even care about Brother Wulin anymore.]

[Hmph. We agreed that I'd leave and she'd personally keep an eye on him, to find out whether Tang Wulin had the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.]

[But the moment I got here, she stopped caring about Brother Wulin and started hanging around with this Chen Ye instead. I really have no idea who he is.]

Their eyes met. Na'er's gaze was full of curiosity.

She had no idea that Chen Ye had heard every word of her thoughts.

Chen Ye, meanwhile, stayed silent throughout. After all, this was only one of his clones.

Although it was a version of himself from a point in the past, he didn't want to draw too much attention to himself while keeping his identity hidden.

The group crowded around Na'er and headed to the beef clay-pot restaurant, where they ate a meal.

But this time things were different from the original timeline. In the original timeline, Tang Wulin had beaten up someone called Guang Long, which had brought his older brother into the picture.

This time, they didn't run into Guang Long at all before they finished eating. Guang Long and his older brother had already been taken away as Evil Soul Master informants.

Chen Ye didn't mind the change to the timeline.

After they finished eating, the group crowded around Na'er and headed to Wu Zhangkong's dormitory.

Wu Zhangkong, whom Chen Ye had called out in advance, was clearly displeased.

He wore a blue nightshirt decorated with all sorts of little animals, making him look quite adorable.

Seeing the ice-cold Wu Zhangkong in an outfit like that, Chen Ye and the others couldn't help smiling.

Wu Zhangkong didn't waste any time. He asked directly, "What's your name? What's your Martial Soul? What level is your Soul Power?"

Wu Zhangkong's questions were blunt.

Na'er stood there and blinked her beautiful eyes, answering obediently, "My Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon Spear, and my Soul Power is level 27."
