“Don't you think it's a pity for others to see my true appearance? I was worried that people would perish upon seeing my face because of how handsome I was.” Mu Liufeng smiled at Ling Chuxi as she adjusted her hairy bangs and flipped her delicate hair with a few flicks of her wrists as she spoke.
Ling Chuxi was speechless.
"Master, if one day you die, there is only one reason for that," Ling Chuxi humbly sighed.
"really? What reason? Crushed by the weight of my perfection?” There was a visible rhythm in the allure of Mu Liufeng's eyes as he responded in a seductive manner.
“More like your vanity load,” reply Ling Chuxi clearly.
Mu Liufeng narrowed his deceptive eyes. "You evil disciple!" Ling Chuxi inevitably realized that her eyes were tinged with an unspeakable charm even as she glared at him in annoyance. It was unintentional. Mu Liufeng did not need to attempt to display such a charm —it came to him naturally.
“Alright, sir. That's enough for now. If there's nothing more to discuss, just wait until I make the mask and I'll give it to you. Since the required materials are hard to find and I have to attend training after the semester starts, I will only work on it in my spare time,” explained Ling Chuxi in an attempt to release Mu Liufeng related mask.
"good. When you are done, give it to me as soon as possible,” instruct Mu Liufeng in a worried tone before leaving.
As soon as Mu Liufeng left, Ling Chuxi entered her room and lay down on her bed. She smiles. Being Mu Liufeng's disciple was not a bad thing at all. He had already enjoyed the benefits by being assigned to this single room! Ling Chuxi chuckled as she thought about what had happened before. When they arrived at the accommodation, Mu Liufeng had lined up towards the teacher in charge of the room allocation and had only made one request, “Select. Do you want to die, or do you want to give my students one room?”
Under the domination of Mu Liufeng's killing gaze, the teacher had agreed to allocate Ling Chuxi to one room with trembling hands.
“Little White, trust me when I say that someday, I will become very strong. Even stronger than Mu Liufeng.” He pulled Little White close to him as he lazed on the bed and voiced his thoughts with a smile. Although he spoke softly, his voice contained unprecedented determination. Only the strong are given respect in this world. If one wanted to live without having to rely on others, the only way was to become strong on his own. One day, he would be able to stand on top of the world and observe the entire world from the incredible heights he climbed! One day, he will definitely achieve this!
As Little White listened to Ling Chuxi speak, she narrowed her eyes and placed her claws gently on top of her head.
Ling Chuxi chuckled. “Do you agree with me Little White? This is why I like you the most.”
Little White's human-like reaction greatly comforted Ling Chuxi and she happily hugged the little fox as if it was a plush toy and gave a small kiss on her little face.
Ling Chuxi did not realize that this made Little White freeze.

That afternoon, Ling Yichen came looking for Ling Chuxi. Regarding the matter of Ling Chuxi passing the entrance examination with Mu Liufeng as his examiner, Ling Yichen felt it was an expected but unexpected result. However, regarding the matter of Mu Liufeng taking Ling Chuxi as his disciple—even he did not see it coming. No one can.
“Happy to have passed the exam, Chuxi.” A warm smile spread across Ling Yichen's calm face. "This is good news."
“Ha, thank you. Why don't you congratulate me in a more practical way? Like, say, with the roast meat from the stall at the entrance of the academy,” Ling Chuxi replied mischievously without much politeness.
So Ling Yichen treated Ling Chuxi to a grilled meat dinner to celebrate her graduation in the entrance examination under such difficult circumstances. After eating, Ling Chuxi placed a hand on her stomach that was filled with satisfaction as she held Little White using her other hand. Ling Yichen said good night to Ling Chuxi and stared at her retreating figure until it disappeared from her sight before she started walking back to her own accommodation.
In the depths of the night when everything was silent, Ling Chuxi was immersed in a deep sleep. Little White was supposed to lie next to him near his pillow, but the fox was nowhere to be found.
Instead, a tall and slender figure stood by his bedside. The figure's purple eyes danced around with a hint of a smile as they admired Ling Chuxi's sleeping skeleton.
The dim moonlight shone on the familiar features of the man standing beside Ling Chuxi's bed in a pearl glow. The man's silvery hair glittered in the light, making him seem even more dazzling. His purple eyes twinkled like a deep and starry sky, just a glance would make one unable to forget that scene. A charming smile hung gently on the face of that peerless man. He leaned over and leaned his head forward slightly to instill a gentle kiss on Ling Chuxi's forehead just like he did to Little White before.
When he did, time seemed to have frozen. It was as if everything would stay that way forever.
"Why, Little White?" whine Ling Chuxi as she rolled over to where Little White was supposed to lie. The man floated above Ling Chuxi, unsure and slightly stunned. After a while, he realized with relief that he was just talking in his sleep and started to gather his senses about him.
“Why don't you try to remove my seal, my dear?” The man's handsome face turned into a mesmerizing smile as he ventured to lightly touch his finger to Ling Chuxi's red lips. “If you do, I promise to hold your hand as long as we live and follow you to the ends of the earth, if you have me. Remember me, my name is Huangfu Qingjue.”
"Huh? What noise was this ..” Ling Chuxi opened her eyes blurryly and caught a glimpse of such a handsome face, one's breath could be restrained upon seeing it. Silver hair and purple eyes? Who was this person with such a dazzling aura? Maybe his mind was playing tricks on him. Ling Chuxi blinked, trying to wake herself up as she looked around her room to see if anyone was there, but there was no one else.
"What was that? Some kind of illusion?” Ling Chuxi darted upright on the bed and surveyed the room doubtfully. He scratched his head in confusion. Did a handsome man randomly appear in front of her now? If so, then how could he suddenly disappear just like that? He must have seen things in his sleep.
To be sure, Ling Chuxi looked around her room carefully again and saw that nothing was out of the ordinary. He threw himself in his bed to go back to sleep. Seeing Little White curled up beside his pillow, he gently carried the fox into his arms and fell into a deep sleep once more.
...🥓🥓🥓...
The next morning, Ling Chuxi woke up in a huff with her eyes wide open. Was last night really an illusion? Could it be that the man she saw with silver hair and purple eyes was a dream? The view of him seemed so real. Didn't he even say that his name was Huangpu? He doesn't remember. After all, it can't be real.
As soon as Ling Chuxi came to the conclusion that the sighting of a man in his room last night was just a strange dream, he squirmed and yawned. Then, he bathed, dressed, and left his room with Little White behind him.
Today, Ling Chuxi and the other candidates who had passed the entrance examination would undergo some sort of orientation. They all need to take turns looking at the issued lists and listening to the principal deliver the opening speech and his motivation. The teachers who would teach them were introduced in turns and there were instructions given on how to organize the lessons and other practical matters related to being a student at White Stone Academy. The training Ling Yichen spoke of would begin three days later. Why so fast? Simple reason. The entrance exam is for new students to gain admission to the academy, but the training will be conducted by both new and existing students!
Some may point out that this is unfair. Regardless of cultivation talent, theoretical knowledge, or practical experience, it was certain that new students were at a disadvantage compared to existing students. How do the results accurately reflect the differences between these two groups? The answer is no. It was indeed unfair and the White Stone Academy countered this humiliation by saying that the world had never been fair from the start. Why are they expected to make efforts to ensure the treatment of the strong and weak will be the same overall? If a person feels the burden of unfair treatment, then he must fight for justice for himself.
Tsk, how cruel the reality of this world has. Ling Chuxi half-heartedly listened to the headmaster blabbering during his supposedly motivating speech and began to feel sleepy. This greatly reminded him of all the school opening ceremonies he had attended in the previous world. Ling Yichen could not help but see Ling Chuxi yawn repeatedly and fall asleep as she stood beside him. Even as he shook his head in disbelief, there was a hint of a gentle smile contained in his eyes.
Finally, the headmaster finished speaking.
No classes will be arranged in the next three days leading up to the training. This time is used by students to find out their group and prepare for training. The grouping method that students can choose for training will make observers more silent. A student can choose to go alone or form groups ranging from two to ten to twenty or even a hundred people. As long as there were students who had the attraction, he could join whichever group they wanted. Specific rules for each group based on their size will only be announced later, after all the students have finished sorting themselves into the group based on their preferred method of grouping.
Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen naturally decided to form a group consisting of two people. As soon as the crowd dispersed, Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen thought they should go to the city to shop for whatever they felt was needed. They had just started walking away when someone was blocking their path.
