Spirit Master.
Ye Qizhen.
The moment those two keywords were mentioned, the classroom fell so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Two seconds later, a thunderous uproar erupted.
"Hey, hey, hey, did I hear that right? It's Ye Qizhen!"
"You heard me right! It really is Ye Qizhen. After awakening her Psychic Power before the college entrance exam last year, she didn't even need to take the martial arts exam. She was snapped up by the five elite martial arts schools. I heard that the people from the five elite martial arts schools who came to recruit her almost got into a fight over Ye Qizhen. It was incredibly tense at the time."
"Do I even need to hear about it? It's all over the internet, okay? Wow—no wonder he's Spirit Master! He's even more outstanding than the top scorer in the college entrance exam."
Everyone agrees with this statement, because frankly, not many people remember who the top scorers in last year's college entrance examination were from the fortresses.
He only knew the Spirit Master Ye Qizhen.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but silently mourn for a few seconds for last year's top scorers in the college entrance examination.
He finally became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but then a Spirit Master appeared in his graduating class.
"If our graduating class can produce a Spirit Master, even the top scorer in the college entrance exam would be crying. If it's Spirit Master we're trying to produce, even if it's Lan Shengxue, her limelight will be overshadowed."
The students were speechless upon hearing this.
"Do you Spirit Master are as common as cabbages, one per generation?"
"Exactly, give us back our fortress. How could a barren place like our Fortress No. 31 possibly produce Spirit Master? Ye Qizhen is at least a second-level cultivator; that's already quite an achievement, okay?"
While his classmates were engaged in a lively discussion, Jiang Fan was quietly pondering to himself.
He had naturally heard of Ye Qizhen's reputation. He just couldn't understand why someone as privileged as him would come to such a barren place as their Fortress No. 31.
He was puzzled, but after all, this matter had little to do with him.
Catching up on sleep is important.
With that thought in mind, he didn't waste any more time, slumped onto the table, and fell asleep instantly.
The students were still engaged in a heated discussion and had no interest in reading.
"Why is it that it was Ancheng No. 9 Middle School that hosted Ye Qizhen? Of all the high schools in Ancheng, No. No. 1 Middle School has the strongest teaching staff, and it also has the most students admitted to martial arts schools every No. 1 Middle School."
"Nonsense! Are you out of your mind? Of course it's because of Lan Shengxue, she's Martial Artist! Even if ten times as many students from No. 1 Middle School High School get into martial arts schools, it still doesn't compare to just one Lan Shengxue."
"Yes."
The next day.
Jiang Fan and all the teachers and students of Ancheng No. 9 Middle School arrived at Ancheng Railway Station.
The group that came included not only teachers and students from Ancheng No. 9 Middle School, but also some wealthy families from Ancheng.
Among this group of people, Jiang Fan spotted several familiar figures—none other than the Jiang Family.
With just one glance, Jiang Fan looked away, as if the existence of these people had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Qifeng and the others naturally saw Jiang Fan as well, snorted heavily, and turned their heads away.
Jiang Hongyuan was furious when she saw Jiang Fan. "Dad, it's that little bastard Jiang Fan!"
"Alright," Jiang Qifeng said calmly, "He has absolutely no connection with our family anymore. From now on, if you see him, just treat him like a stranger."
"And you too," Jiang Qifeng said earnestly to his other daughters.
"From now on, don't get angry with such irrelevant people. It's not worth getting angry over them."
After hearing this, the four Jiang Family sisters thought about it carefully and felt that Jiang Qifeng's words made a lot of sense.
"Dad's right. Jiang Fan has already been kicked out of the Jiang Family. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and pretend we don't know each other. There's no need to waste our energy on someone like him," Jiang Chengyuan said.
The other sisters nodded in agreement.
"It's good that you've figured it out," Jiang Qifeng said with relief.
"The most important thing now is to welcome Ye Qizhen. As a rare and exceptional genius, he is destined to stand at the very top. I specially brought you four sisters here today and asked you to dress up nicely, hoping that one of you can make a good impression on Ye Qizhen. If you can really get to know Ye Qizhen, it will be a stroke of good fortune for our Jiang Family."
Among the wealthy and noble families who came here today, there were quite a few with similar intentions to Jiang Qifeng. Many of them brought their daughters, who were dressed to the nines, hoping to catch Ye Qizhen's eye.
Even if they don't like him, making friends with a Spirit Master will surely ensure the family's future prosperity in Ancheng.
9:10.
The train slowly pulled into Ancheng, and the moment it stopped, almost everyone craned their necks to look.
Finally, the door opened.
Everyone finally saw Ye Qizhen.
He was dressed in a clean and neat white tracksuit, looking youthful and energetic in the sunlight.
This image has captivated the hearts of countless young girls.
Of course, the main reason is his identity as Spirit Master.
Wei Qi stood next to Jiang Fan and deliberately told him what was going on.
"See that? This is the demeanor of Spirit Master. Unlike some people who think they're so great just because they defeated someone of a higher level, they're nothing compared to Spirit Master."
Jiang Fan slowly turned to look at him, "It's much better than some people losing to someone of a lower cultivation level."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qi's eyes widened in shock, almost bulging out of their sockets.
"Who are you talking about? Say it again if you dare!"
Jiang Fan's lips curled slightly. "Anyway, if it were me, losing to someone with a lower cultivation level than me, I would have no face to utter a sound here. I might as well just kill myself and save myself the shame of living in this world."
"You--you--"
Wei Qi was so angry he wanted to kill someone.
Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow. "What? You want to fight me right now? I'm ready anytime."
To be honest, Wei Qi did want to fight Jiang Fan to the death, but in the end he went along with his heart.
"You just wait!" In the end, he could only utter a harsh threat.
"Stop waiting, look, your goddess's gone to confess to another guy." Jiang Fan looked in a certain direction with interest.
Wei Qi looked over sharply and saw Tong Shuyao holding a bouquet of flowers, walking affectionately towards Ye Qizhen.
"Senior Ye, um—please accept this."
When this scene unfolded, the girls in the audience wanted nothing more than to kill Tong Shuyao with their eyes.
"How shameless! Senior Ye launched his attack the moment he got off the bus."
"Exactly, a school beauty? I'd say she's more like a social butterfly."
Wei Qi yelled at the female classmate, "Who are you calling a social butterfly? If you say another bad word about her, believe me, I'll hit a woman!"
These female students were completely unafraid, thinking, "They're allowed to cause trouble, but they're not allowed to talk about it?"
Other female students stood up and spoke up.
"That's right. Look at Tong Shuyao's affected manner. Only blind boys like you would consider her a goddess. Someone like her, a goddess? Bah!"
"Exactly! Everyone knows that Tong Shuyao cheated during the school beauty pageant! Disgusting! Trash!"
