"Sister Qingling, you truly amazed me just now."
"You're such a good person."
Chen Qingling's spirit is the Goddess of Light Butterfly, the most beautiful spirit on the continent, possessing a human nature as beautiful as itself.
Chen Qingling's lips curved upwards, revealing a knowing smile.
"A good person?"
"I wouldn't say that. I just don't want to see him make mistake after mistake."
"He's not inherently bad, it's just the environment that shaped him."
Wang Sheng walked into the dormitory, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Sister Qingling, you're amazing! You made Xiao Laoda a new man with just a few words."
"As expected of our new leader among the 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 new work-study student, felt out of place. His expression was neither happy nor sad as he quietly watched everyone else fooling around.
At some point, a sour smell permeated the air.
He wasn't envious at all, not at all! Tang San gritted his teeth, watching Chen Qingling being showered with attention. He felt terrible, though he didn't know why.
His mood worsened especially when he saw Xiao Wu staying close by her side, as if something important had been snatched away, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Pitiful and helpless.
Just then, Wang Sheng walked in. Seeing Tang San out of place, he couldn't help but recall Tang San's pathetic display during their spar yesterday.
Suppressing a chuckle, he greeted Tang San, "Tang San, aren't you coming out to celebrate and eat with us?"
Tang San shook his head. "No, I'm used to being alone and don't really like lively atmospheres."
In reality, he simply felt agitated and didn't want to join them.
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.
As long as they left, Tang San wouldn't feel so bothered.
Seeing that Tang San was being so uncooperative, Wang Sheng turned away and ignored him, deciding not to include him in their activities anymore.
Soon, Tang San was left all alone in the large work-study dormitory.
As the others departed, Tang San felt a deep ache in his heart, an unbearable sadness.
His brow furrowed. "What's going on? Why has my condition been so strange since yesterday?"
"Could it be a lingering effect from Qingling's Goddess of Light Butterfly Blade?" Tang San couldn't help but overthink.
"No… impossible. I need to calm down." Tang San immediately sat cross-legged, circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill to clear his mind.
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
The grand and magnificent Pope's Gate slowly opened. Ju Huaguan, clad in golden armor and walking with a flourish, entered.
He bowed to the Pope's throne.
"Elder Ju, what is it?"
"Your esteemed Holiness, the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City, under the Barak Kingdom, has sent word of a rare genius with Innate Full Spirit Power, one seen only once in a century." Bibi Dong moved her left hand. "Oh? Innate Full Spirit Power born in the borderlands? That is rather surprising."
"What is her name?"
"Chen Qingling. Her spirit is unrecorded on the continent, named the Goddess of Light Butterfly."
"Has she been recruited into Spirit Hall?"
Ju Huaguan shook his head. "Reporting to Your Holiness, no."
"Although she has Innate Full Spirit Power, she awakened her spirit too late, only at twelve years old."
Bibi Dong's delicate brows furrowed. "Awakening her spirit at twelve? Interesting. A pity she's a bit too old."
"Elder Ju, please tell the Nuoding City Spirit Hall branch to closely monitor her growth rate."
"Yes, that's all."
Ju Huaguan nodded. "Yes, Your Holiness."
Immediately, Ju Huaguan left the Pope's Palace and relayed the Pope's exact words to the attending deacon, Su Yuntao.
"You are Deacon Su Yuntao, correct?"
"Yes, Elder Ju. What are your instructions?"
"Monitor her growth rate. If there's any news…"
Before Ju Huaguan could finish, Su Yuntao preemptively said, "Elder Ju, rest assured, I understand. I'll report any news immediately."
The Pope's Palace doors closed again after Ju Huaguan left.
Bibi Dong sat on her throne, her eyes deep, and murmured to herself, "Goddess of Light Butterfly… Chen Qingling… Chen…"
"I look forward to your performance in the Spirit Master Tournament seven years from now."
Although she awakened her spirit at twelve, her talent was not bad. The growth rate of someone with Innate Full Spirit Power would certainly not be too slow.
Nuoding Academy, Cafeteria.
"Did you guys hear?"
"Yeah, yeah, has he turned over a new leaf?"
"According to my insider info, the reason Boss Xiao has changed so much seems to be because of a new student."
"What? Because of a new student? What's the connection between them?"
"A big connection. The new student is a work-study student, and importantly, a girl."
"Hiss…"
"You get it now, it would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on."
Bang.
A large hand slammed down on the dining table, and Xiao Chenyu said coldly, "Friends, that's going too far. Don't you understand what kind of jokes can't be made?"
"Uh… Boss Xiao, let me explain…"
Xiao Chenyu scanned the surroundings. "I don't care for your explanation, but I want to warn you not to spread rumors, or I'll deal with you."
The man swallowed, and nodded abruptly, signaling he understood.
"Hmph."
Only then did Xiao Chenyu walk away.
He dared not allow anyone to blaspheme Chen Qingling; she was his salvation, his White Moonlight.
After Xiao Chenyu left, the people at the table were all greatly alarmed.
Was this still the incorrigible Boss Xiao they remembered? How had he become so gentle? If it were any other time, they would likely all have been beaten.
"Cough, cough, cough, just pretend you didn't hear what I just said."
"But to be fair, Boss Xiao has really changed a lot."
At this moment, a group of people entered the cafeteria in a grand procession.
"Huh, it's the work-study students from Dormitory Seven."
Chen Qingling and her group took over a whole section, her face beaming with happiness.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'm treating everyone. Eat to your heart's content."
With five million in her possession, even if Chen Qingling kept treating them, it would only be a tiny fraction of her wealth, not worth mentioning.
"Sister Qingling, we…" Wang Sheng and the others were deeply grateful. They had never met anyone so kind to them.
Xiao Wu, unable to stop smiling, held Chen Qingling's small hand and leaned close to her ear.
"Sister Qingling~"
"What is it, Xiao Wu?"
"Hungry~"
Xiao Wu's cooing and playful act made Chen Qingling giggle.
"Oh, Xiao Wu, you."
At this moment, countless eyes in the cafeteria were fixed on Chen Qingling. The male students' eyes widened, and they swallowed hard.
This… this…
Is this the new work-study student? How can she be so beautiful.
Especially when Chen Qingling smiled, she was a true heartbreaker, capturing a group of young admirers.
And Wang Sheng was naturally her number one fan.
