But Yang Xiaobing had no idea what Jiang Xueyao was thinking.
As she walked toward the Dormitory, Xu Yuan's words from back then echoed in her ears:
"...Xiao Bing... you'll soar straight into the Azure Nether and become a top female cultivator admired by all."
"I'm saying it now: I promise that day will come."
That was what her Peerless Hero had said.
He couldn't be wrong!
I have to work hard!
Yang Xiaobing glanced at the check-in slip in her hand and waved it at Jiang Xueyao. "I'm on the sixth floor, room 609. What about you?"
"Ninth floor, room 903," Jiang Xueyao said.
"Once we've made our beds and settled in, want to look around the school together?"
"I have to go home tonight. There's a lot to arrange... I'll come find you when I get back."
"Okay."
They parted at the stairwell.
Humming a tune, Yang Xiaobing followed the corridor to room 609 and knocked before going in.
There were already three girls inside.
"Hi, I'm Yang Xiaobing," she said.
The three girls said nothing. They just looked her over first.
Each of them sized her up from head to toe.
Meanwhile...
Xu Yuan had reached the boys' Dormitory.
Something suddenly buzzed in his pocket.
Xu Yuan took it out. It was the Command Token his Master had given him.
He slid the Command Token open. Half was a screen, half a keypad, and the screen showed one missed call.
"Hello?"
"Xu Yuan, I'm the Skyscraping Divine Palace's Sect Leader's senior disciple, and your senior fellow disciple. My name is Sun Changfei."
"Hello, Senior Brother Changfei."
"Mm. You still have half a year ahead of you. Cultivate diligently and try to hold on to first place among this batch of new students." "...Is that Master's wish?"
"No.
