「Five days later.」
Wen Qingye stood on an open-air stone dais at Qig Mountain Academy. The cyan rock gleamed, and the lush, verdant surroundings adorned the platform beautifully. It was surrounded by a dense sea of people, a crowd so vast it seemed to have no end. They were all new students from the Celestial Martial Country, come to join Qig Mountain Academy.
Feeling that the surrounding noise was too clamorous, Wen Qingye walked to a corner. Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, a figure suddenly ran up to his side.
"Wen Qingye!"
A clear voice interrupted Wen Qingye's reverie. He looked toward the sound and saw Gao Yuerou. Dressed in pale blue, she stood there with a charming grace, her lively eyes fixed on Wen Qingye, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Wen Qingye smiled. "Oh, it's you. I thought you passed the assessment. Why didn't you go to the Purple Sun Prefecture? What brings you here?"
