Monitor Her Growth Rate? I Look Forward to Your Performance! Chen Qingling Becomes a White Moonlight? Little Fanboys?

(PS: The earlier timeline has been adjusted. Ning Rongrong's Soul Ring was her First Soul Ring.)

"Sister Qingling, you were truly amazing just now."

"You really are such a good person."

Chen Qingling's Martial Soul was the Light Goddess Butterfly, the most beautiful Martial Soul on the continent. At the same time, she possessed a beauty of character to match.

The corners of Chen Qingling's lips lifted into a knowing smile.

"A good person?"

"I wouldn't say that. I just didn't want to see him keep making the same mistakes."

"He wasn't bad by nature. His environment shaped him that way."

Wang Sheng entered the dormitory, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Sister Qingling, you're incredible. Just a few words, and you made Boss Xiao turn over a new leaf."

"No wonder you're the new boss of us work-study students. Sister Qingling, you're my idol!"

The work-study students in the dormitory cheered. Perhaps this was Chen Qingling's personal charm.

Only Tang San, the newly arrived work-study student, seemed completely out of place. His expression was neither happy nor sad as he quietly watched everyone laugh and play around.

At some point, a sour smell seemed to drift through the air.

He wasn't jealous at all. Not at all!

Tang San gritted his teeth as he watched Chen Qingling being surrounded by everyone. He felt terrible, though he had no idea why.

Especially when he saw Xiao Wu sticking so closely by her side, he felt even worse, as though something important had been taken from him and there was nothing he could do about it.

Pitiful and helpless.

Just then, Wang Sheng came over. Seeing Tang San sitting apart from everyone, he could not help recalling the sorry sight Tang San had made of himself during their sparring match yesterday.

Suppressing his laughter, he called out to Tang San, "Tang San, aren't you coming out with us to celebrate over a meal?"

Tang San shook his head. "No. I'm used to being alone, and I don't really like lively places."

In reality, he was simply too upset and did not want to go with them.

As the saying went, out of sight, out of mind.

As long as they left, Tang San would stop feeling so irritated.

Seeing that Tang San did not know what was good for him, Wang Sheng turned away and ignored him. He would not include him in anything from now on.

Before long, Tang San was the only one left alone in the spacious Work-Study Student Dormitory.

Watching everyone's retreating backs, Tang San felt a sharp ache in his heart and was miserable.

He furrowed his brows. "What's going on? Why has my state been so strange ever since yesterday?"

"Could it be an aftereffect of being struck by Qingling's Light Butterfly Blade?" Tang San could not help but overthink it.

"No... That's impossible. I need to calm down." Tang San immediately sat cross-legged and circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to dispel his distracting thoughts.

Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

The grand gates of the Pope's Palace slowly opened, and Ju Hua Guan, dressed in golden armor and walking with his fingers posed in a delicate gesture, entered.

He bowed toward the throne in the Pope's Palace.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, what is it?"

"Your Holiness, news has come from the Spirit Hall branch in Notting City, which falls under the Balak Kingdom. A genius with Innate Full Soul Power has appeared, one rarely seen in a hundred years."

Bibi Dong waved her left hand. "Oh? Even a remote borderland can produce someone with Innate Full Soul Power? That is rather surprising."

"What is her name?"

"Chen Qingling. Her Martial Soul is unrecorded on the continent and is called the Light Goddess Butterfly."

"Has she been recruited into Spirit Hall?"

Ju Hua Guan shook his head. "Reporting to Your Holiness, she has not."

"Although she has Innate Full Soul Power, she awakened her Martial Soul too late. She only did so at the age of twelve."

Bibi Dong's beautiful brows furrowed. "She only awakened her Martial Soul at twelve? Interesting. It is a pity that she is a little too old."

"Chrysanthemum Elder, trouble yourself to tell the Spirit Hall branch in Notting City to closely monitor her growth rate."

"Mm, that will be all."

Ju Hua Guan nodded. "Yes, Your Holiness."

Ju Hua Guan then left the Pope's Palace and relayed the Pope's exact words to Deacon Su Yuntao, who had come to report.

"You're Deacon Su Yuntao, correct?"

"Yes, Chrysanthemum Elder. What are your orders?"

"Monitor her growth rate. If there is any news..."

Before Ju Hua Guan could finish, Su Yuntao hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Chrysanthemum Elder. I understand. If there is any news, I will report it immediately."

After Ju Hua Guan left, the gates of the Pope's Palace closed once more.

Bibi Dong sat upon her throne, her gaze profound as she murmured to herself, "Light Goddess Butterfly... Chen Qingling... Chen..."

"At the Soul Master Tournament seven years from now, I look forward to your performance."

Although she had awakened her Martial Soul at twelve, her talent was not poor. With Innate Full Soul Power, her growth rate certainly would not be too slow.

Notting Academy, canteen.

"Have you heard?"

"Yeah, yeah. Could he really have turned over a new leaf?"

"According to my sources, Boss Xiao changed so much because of a newly arrived student."

"What? Because of a new student? What does one have to do with the other?"

"It has everything to do with it. The new student is a work-study student, and more importantly, she's a girl."

"Hiss..."

"You get it now, right? There has to be something fishy going on."

Bang.

A large hand slammed heavily onto the dining table. Xiao Chenyu said coldly, "Friend, haven't you gone too far? Don't you know some jokes shouldn't be made?"

"Uh... Boss Xiao, let me explain..."

Xiao Chenyu swept his gaze around. "I don't care for your explanation, but I'm warning you not to spread rumors. Otherwise, I'll deal with you."

The person swallowed and hurriedly nodded to show that he understood.

"Hmph."

Only then did Xiao Chenyu walk away.

He could not allow anyone to defile Chen Qingling. She was the White Moonlight who had saved him.

After Xiao Chenyu left, everyone at that table was utterly shocked.

Was this really the heinous Boss Xiao they remembered?

How had he become so mild?

If it had been any other day, everyone at their table would probably have been beaten up.

"Ahem, ahem. Pretend you didn't hear what I just said."

"But honestly, Boss Xiao really has changed a lot."

At that moment, a large group of people entered the canteen.

"Huh, they're the work-study students from Dorm Seven."

Chen Qingling's group directly occupied an entire section. Her face was full of joy.

"I'm happy today, so it's my treat. Eat as much as you want."

With five million in her possession, even if Chen Qingling kept treating everyone to meals, it would only be a drop in the bucket.

"Sister Qingling, we..." Wang Sheng and the others were deeply moved. They had never met anyone who treated them so well.

Xiao Wu beamed as she took Chen Qingling's small hand and leaned close to her ear.

"Sister Qingling~"

"What is it, Xiao Wu?"

"Hungry, hungry~"

Xiao Wu's cute, coquettish behavior made Chen Qingling giggle.

"Oh, you, Xiao Wu."

At that moment, countless pairs of eyes in the canteen were fixed on Chen Qingling. The male students stared wide-eyed and swallowed.

This... this...

Was she really the newly arrived work-study student? How could she be so beautiful?

Especially when Chen Qingling smiled, she was simply a man's worst weakness, winning herself a group of little fanboys.

And Wang Sheng was naturally the number one little fanboy.
