In the Academic Affairs Office.
"Teacher Wu, please accept this student. After the academy's investigation, she is absolutely qualified to enter Class Zero," Long Hengxu solemnly said to Wu Changkong.
Wu Changkong glanced at the timid-looking girl standing beside Long Hengxu, head bowed, and coldly said, "My class only accepts monsters, not ordinary people. Do you really think she's capable? She's only at the first ring."
Long Hengxu frowned. "Speaking of which, Teacher Wu, I think your Class Zero probably needs adjustments. I think Gu Yue and Xie Xie are fine, but why did Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi leave? Although the dean told me about this later, I don't think it was right to let two two-ring geniuses leave for a one-ring Tang Wulin. The strength of Class Zero has been greatly reduced as a result. If this continues, is there any need for Class Zero to exist? Now I've found you another genius, and you're still making excuses. I'll have to consider applying to the academy to abolish your Class Zero's status, since you only have four people now."
"Besides..." His tone softened again, "You've already made an exception and brought a student into Class Zero. It's not unreasonable for the academy to put one in as well."
Long Hengxu had already used both soft and hard tactics; he didn't dare say anything too harsh to Wu Changkong. The other's status and strength were undeniable: a Soul Emperor, a Battle Armor Master, and a graduate of Shrek Academy.
Wu Changkong gave him a cold look. "You should say that to the Dean, not me. Students have their choices, and I have mine. Xu Xiaoyan, right? I'm giving you a chance. Within a month, gain my approval and the approval of the other students in Class Zero. Otherwise, no matter your background, you won't be my student, understand?"
Xu Xiaoyan kept her head down, not daring to look up even after hearing this, only nodding timidly. Her little head was almost buried in her chest.
"Let's go."
Wu Changkong turned and left directly, without slowing down or saying goodbye to Long Hengxu.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan hurriedly jogged to catch up.
As she walked, she secretly looked around the academy, and accidentally bumped into someone in front of her.
She rubbed her forehead, her big eyes looking ahead, and suddenly the other person stopped.
Wu Changkong turned around, gave her a cold look, and then said, "Are you from the Xu family?"
"Yes." Xu Xiaoyan hurriedly added, "My second brother is Xiu Ran."
Wu Changkong looked at her coldly for a while, then didn't say anything more, turning and walking towards the dormitory.
"This is your dormitory." Wu Changkong pushed open the dormitory door and went in.
Xu Xiaoyan followed. To her surprise, there was only one bed in the dormitory, but everything was complete, the conditions were incredibly good.
When did student dormitories become so good? She had already received special treatment at her previous academy, but it was only in a two-person room!
"Remember, everything you've achieved is because of Class Zero. You only have one month,"
Wu Changkong said coldly. "Furthermore, if I find out that you or the Xu family dare to make any moves against my student, I don't recommend I visit them."
With that, he turned and left.
Only after Wu Changkong had completely left did she breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a look of grievance appeared on her face.
Teacher Wu was very handsome, she liked him very much, but he was so fierce, so stern, that she was a little scared.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered something and immediately ran outside.
"Second Brother! Which room are you in?"
But after searching the dormitory for a long time, she couldn't find him. After going outside, she heard discussions in the corridor outside the dormitory.
Xie Xie was very good at creating a lively atmosphere, and although Xiu Ran wasn't very familiar with the others, they were chatting quite well.
However, when Xiu Ran was talking to Tang Wulin, he always felt that there was a faint gaze watching him, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, he also had a guess: it might just be that little punk observing them.
"Second Brother, you've joined the Spirit Pagoda?"
Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out, interrupting the conversation of the group.
They looked over and saw a beautiful girl, Xu Xiaoyan.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Xiaoyan, and I'll be a student in Class Zero from now on,"
she introduced herself confidently. The others couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill; beautiful girls always have a strong sense of approachability.
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin naturally nodded warmly and introduced themselves as well.
Gu Yue remained calm, seemingly neither happy nor sad, showing little emotional change.
Xiu Ran, on the other hand, naturally became indifferent and didn't reply.
After the introductions, Xie Xie asked curiously, "Is Xiu Ran your second brother?"
Among the group, Gu Yue couldn't be a girl, and neither could he be himself. Judging from Tang Wulin's reaction, he clearly wasn't either, so it could only be Xiu Ran.
Xu Xiaoyan nodded, stepped forward, and said timidly, "Second brother, long time no see."
However, Xiu Ran only nodded slightly, his gaze calm, even somewhat cold.
"Second brother, I..." Xu Xiaoyan clearly wanted to say something more.
But Xiu Ran didn't give her the chance, ignoring her and walking directly into the house.
Xu Xiaoyan's face immediately showed some hurt. She wanted to stop him, but ultimately didn't take a step forward.
She also knew about Xiu Ran and the Xu family's affairs, and she had actually expected this attitude.
But her second brother, who always gave her everything, was suddenly so cold, which she couldn't accept for a while.
So, she lost her mood, said goodbye to Xie Xie and the others, and went back to her room.
Xie Xie sighed a little: "Aren't they siblings? It doesn't seem like it."
Tang Wulin didn't understand either. After all, he used to have a very good relationship with Na'er, spoiling her rotten, let alone being so cold.
Gu Yue shook her head lightly: "Don't guess wildly, get some rest."
After saying that, she also walked straight into the house.
Xie Xie scratched his head, looking puzzled. "What's wrong? Everyone's gone back."
Tang Wulin chuckled, then said, "By the way, don't you think Xu Xiaoyan looks familiar?"
"Familiar?" Xie Xie frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then said, "It seems so, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before." "
The Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riotous Period, the Ice Staff Man's sister."
"Oh, I guess so." Xie Xie suddenly realized.
"Alright, let's go. The opening ceremony is tomorrow, I'm going to meditate." Tang Wulin quickly went back to his room.
Only Xie Xie shook his head helplessly, and in the end, he could only go back as well.
