"Tang San, are you leaving me too?" Yu Xiaogang's gaze was fervent, making Tang San lower his head guiltily, remaining silent.
After a while.
Tang San, with a serious expression, chose to lay it all out.
"Since we've come this far, let's make things even clearer."
"We're still master and disciple in name, but we're both getting what we need."
"You help me acquire the most suitable spirit rings, and I'll help you gain fame."
Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth. He had thought Tang San would disown him as a master, but he hadn't expected him to simply emphasize their relationship.
"Good, mutual help, mutual benefit."
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San reached an understanding, each with their own hidden agenda.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Rongrong, stop running, your body can't handle it."
Ning Rongrong shook her head stubbornly. "No, I won't."
"I must work hard! Who says support-type spirit masters can't train and improve their physical fitness?"
"Grandpa Jian, didn't you say that in team battles, support-type spirit masters must constantly observe the situation and are the easiest targets for battle-type spirit masters?"
"If I keep training and improving my physical fitness, even if I can't compare to battle-type spirit masters, I won't be taken out of the fight with a single blow."
Chen Xin sighed helplessly. "Rongrong, I did say that, but that's only for spirit masters below level fifty. Beyond that, the gap between spirit masters will widen even further."
"Especially between support-type and battle-type spirit masters."
"Just training to improve physical fitness won't be enough to bridge that gap."
"At this stage, you should be diligently meditating to improve your spirit power level."
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, her eyes slightly red. "But…"
"My talent isn't that good. I'm so far behind Qing Ling."
"She awakened her Martial Soul not long ago, and in just a few days, she was able to increase her spirit power level."
"And I, relying on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's resources, have only managed to increase it by one level."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong's Spirit Power level was only twelve.
She wasn't jealous that Chen Qing Ling's talent was better than hers; instead, she was afraid that the gap in their Spirit Power levels would widen.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep up with Chen Qing Ling, afraid that when they met again, she wouldn't be able to assist her.
The higher the Spirit Master's level that one assisted, the more Spirit Power it consumed.
Ning Rongrong was even more afraid that over time, they would no longer be good friends, but strangers.
"Rongrong, you…" Chen Xin shook his head with a smile. "Your worries are unnecessary."
"You and I both know what kind of person Qing Ling is. Don't worry, she won't."
What bad intentions could an innocent girl have?
Ning Rongrong nodded, hummed in response, and looked up at the starry night sky, recalling the moment she first met Chen Qing Ling.
It had only been a few days since they parted, and she already missed her.
Nuoding Academy, Work-Study Dormitory.
Xiao Wu looked with slight surprise at Chen Qing Ling, who had already lain down in bed. "Sister Qing Ling, aren't you going to meditate to increase your Spirit Power today?"
"No, I… I'm tired today."
Chen Qing Ling's eyes darted around; it was obvious she was lying and feeling guilty.
In reality, she really wanted to meditate to increase her Spirit Power, but after hearing Ning Rongrong's words, she didn't dare.
She was still in her growing phase and couldn't stay up late.
Chen Qing Ling was quite conflicted about her own ordinariness.
She was good in all aspects, except for one area that hadn't started developing yet.
Whenever she saw the surprisingly large chests of the senior students, her gaze was filled with envy.
Why were they all girls, yet she was so ordinary?
"Hee hee hee…"
Xiao Wu naturally saw through Chen Qing Ling's lie but didn't expose it. Instead, she crawled into the bed.
To Chen Qing Ling's surprised gaze, Xiao Wu hugged her delicate body.
"Sister Qing Ling, you smell so good."
Suddenly, Chen Qing Ling felt a slight softness on her arm, her eyes widening.
Ads by Pubfuture Glancing with her peripheral vision, Xiao Wu was small in front, but shapely.
Ten thousand critical hit! Ten thousand critical hit!!! Chen Qing Ling was left bewildered in the wind, wondering why Xiao Wu, who was younger than her, was more developed.
This… this isn't right! Isn't this too precocious!
"Sister Qing Ling, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu followed Chen Qing Ling's gaze, then looked at Qing Ling's, and immediately understood, her pretty face flushing.
"Sister Qing Ling, you… you're so naughty."
Chen Qing Ling's forehead was covered in dark lines as she spoke indignantly.
"Hmph, who was it that suggested we share a bed? Who was it that hugged me? It's impossible for me not to see."
"Hehe…" Xiao Wu giggled foolishly.
"It's getting late, let's get some sleep."
"Mhm, mhm, mhm!"
In no time, Chen Qing Ling was fast asleep, while Xiao Wu was still awake, staring intently at her.
"Sister Qing Ling is really nice…"
Xiao Wu murmured to herself, secretly making a decision.
Such a good person, she shouldn't deceive her.
One year, no, half a year.
She would tell her the truth then!
Xiao Wu feared that the longer she delayed, the greater the misunderstanding between them would become.
Day after day, in the blink of an eye, three days passed.
For three consecutive days, listening to extremely boring classes, Chen Qing Ling fought off sleepiness, yawning several times.
These courses were too basic; they might be just right for Xiao Wu and the others, but they were of no use to her.
On the way back to the work-study student dormitory, Xiao Wu spoke leisurely.
"Sister Qing Ling… actually, I don't think you need to be with us."
"Ah?" Chen Qing Ling was confused, not quite understanding what Xiao Wu meant.
"I mean, you're much older than us, so you don't need to start from the beginner student level like us!"
"You can absolutely become an advanced student. With your talent and strength, Sister Qing Ling, the academy shouldn't make things too difficult for you."
Chen Qing Ling nodded thoughtfully. "You're right! Xiao Wu, what you said makes a lot of sense!"
"I'll go ask the Academic Affairs Office right away."
"If it works out, I'll treat you."
"Hee hee hee, I'm looking forward to Sister Qing Ling treating me!"
Chen Qing Ling said goodbye to Xiao Wu and headed straight for the Academic Affairs Office.
Knock, knock, knock.
Chen Qing Ling politely knocked. "Come in."
Seeing Chen Qing Ling enter, Director Su, who had been drinking tea, immediately perked up.
"Student Qing Ling! What brings you to the Academic Affairs Office? Is there something you need?"
"Director Su, can I skip starting as a low-level student?" Chen Qing Ling stated her request directly.
"This…"
Director Su pondered for a moment. If it were anyone else, he would have refused without hesitation.
But considering Chen Qing Ling was a bit older, he eventually agreed.
"Alright, no problem."
"I'll inform your teacher. You can head back now."
"Thank you, Director Su." Chen Qing Ling said gratefully, then turned and left the Academic Affairs Office.
Watching Chen Qing Ling's retreating figure, Director Su sighed helplessly.
"Alas, it was bound to happen."
He had long expected Chen Qing Ling wouldn't follow the usual progression, he just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Nuoding Academy had finally found a rare genius, but she wouldn't be staying for many years.
