After Xu Lingjun and Zong Xiaoping got off the bus, they were dressed in their usual attire, just with an extra coat.
Compared to those newcors shivering in the cold wind, just from outward appearances, the two of them undoubtedly seed much more outstanding.
At the mont...
There were already a few senior students approaching.
"Hey, Junior, you’ve had a hard journey. Co on, hand over your luggage to . I’ll help you carry it. Being here is like being at ho; I’m your big brother, no need to be polite with ."
A male student eagerly seized the luggage from Zong Xiaoping’s hand.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to grab Xu Lingjun’s instead...
But as soon as several female students saw Xu Lingjun’s robes fluttering in the cold wind, they couldn’t help but blush and eagerly approached him.
They simply couldn’t get involved.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Xu Lingjun looked at the female student who had taken his luggage and asked, "Are you here specifically to welco us?"
"Of course. After all, the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is located in a remote area. Additionally, to ensure that students can focus on improving themselves at the Martial Mansion, there are no other ans of transportation to get there. Since it’s your first ti, with no experience, we were worried you might take the wrong path by mistake, which would be embarrassing...so our guidance as senior sisters is particularly important."
"Alright, now with you two, we’ve just about filled a bus. We can head to the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion."
The female student persistently pulled Xu Lingjun’s suitcase, heading towards the bus.
Then, gestured to the other students to get on the bus.
The few students quickly got on the bus, each found a seat, and finally let out a long breath...feeling alive again.
"It’s obvious you didn’t do your howork. Didn’t you know that Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is very cold?"
On the bus.
After a brief introduction,
A Tier Three student nad Li Yun sternly reprimanded the students who had been shivering from the cold.
Especially one of the female students dressed in light clothes.
He scolded, "The Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is located at the extre northern border and it’s icy cold like winter all year round. Although you’ve been admitted to the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, you received basic education up to now and haven’t cultivated high-level cultivation techniques and martial skills. Didn’t you know to do your howork before coming? Especially you... wearing a camisole, aren’t you afraid of dying?"
The reprimanded female student shivered with fear.
She wanted to explain that the weather was hot in their area...but seeing Li Yun’s stern face, she did not dare to speak.
Another female student nad Xu Qing laughed and said, "The main issue is that you broke a taboo. Because Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is very cold, there is an unspoken rule here. When we evaluate each other’s strength, it’s not based on cultivation, but on their clothing."
"After all, even within the sa realm, there can be different strengths. No one who joins the Four Great Martial Mansions is a slacker; it might be rare for soone at the Qi Gathering realm to defeat a Transforming Truth, or a Transforming Truth to defeat a Hui Chuan, but it’s not impossible. So realms aren’t that reliable, and looking at soone’s appearance better reveals their true strength."
Xu Qing concluded, "So if you encounter soone in a dress or camisole, regardless of gender, they’re truly skilled. As for won, no need to say more; if a man dares to wear that...he’s certainly extraordinary. As a new student wearing sothing like that, it’s a bit attention-seeking. It’s better to learn from this Junior Xu and at least wear a coat outside. Oh, and Junior Xu, we seem to share the sa surna."
She smiled, trying to bond, and continued, "Junior Xu, wearing such thin clothes in this cold weather, you must have been exposed to so high-level martial skills and cultivation techniques, right? Umm...wait...Xu Lingjun, I think I’ve heard this na sowhere...you...are you the top scorer of this year’s entrance exam?"
Once she said this, even the few senior students couldn’t help but brighten up.
Their eyes on Xu Lingjun suddenly beca exceptionally warm.
The female student who had taken Xu Lingjun’s luggage imdiately bead with a smile, looking at him with a gaze suggesting she wanted to swallow him whole, bones and all, without ever wanting to let go.
"Uh..."
Xu Lingjun finally understood what Gu Xi ant about the special atmosphere at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
As expected, the stronger the junior students, the more they garnered favor from the senior students... While senior students occasionally might bully junior students, overall, they were genuinely enthusiastic about their juniors.
The Martial Mansion ca up with this idea to increase camaraderie among the students, which is quite impressive.
As for why they were so warm towards him...
Even with a casual thought, the reason was obvious.
He explained, "Sorry, but I’ve already chosen my teaching assistant."
"What?"
"Who is it?"
The students naturally beca interested.
It’s actually a rule for seniors to receive new students.
Five senior students form a group, responsible for receiving one busload of new students. For these students, they have priority, of course, provided the students agree as well.
The quality of students depends quite a bit on luck.
Unexpectedly, they encountered the top scorer, which was a huge surprise, like buying a few lottery tickets and finding that one of them won five million.
Then, they were told that to get that five million, they’d have to pay four million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand in taxes.
At this point, their expressions turned a little sour.
"It was my examiner Gu Xi. You should have heard of her, right?"
"Gu..."
The five senior students were instantly stunned, previously angry about losing the treasure to soone else, were now motionless.
Seeing the five of them falling silent,
Xu Lingjun reached for his luggage and said, "Senior Sister, let carry my luggage myself."
After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. They approached with ulterior motives, and since he couldn’t please all of them, it was best not to accept their kindness.
"No...let help you instead."
That female student looked at Xu Lingjun with compassion and sighed, "Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to help you in the future, you... sigh... never mind... Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion has its own rules. Since you’ve chosen, we can’t say much, but... let help you carry it for a while."
Xu Lingjun: "..............."
He suddenly felt like the five of them were not looking at a living person but rather a moving portrait, almost as if they couldn’t wait to bow down a few tis.
Is it really that bad? Isn’t it just about tutoring for five students?
Compared to the companion demon beasts, it’s really no big deal, is it?
anwhile, Zong Xiaoping observed the reactions of the five senior students and vaguely understood that Gu Xi’s rejection earlier might have actually been well-intentioned.
In that case, did she take Old Xu as a student with ill intentions then?
Thinking this, his eyes on Xu Lingjun unconsciously carried a hint of sympathy... this child, it seems he’s been set up.
As they spoke,
The bus never stopped, and the route beca increasingly remote, with not even a soul in sight.
The sky gradually darkened.
In the pitch-black night road, a point of light suddenly appeared in the distance, continuing as the car moved forward.
Thus, they drove into a giant, ever-bright city.
"Everyone, sit tight, we’re almost there."
Li Yun smiled and said, "Don’t worry, you have us senior students with you. We’ll take you to handle enrollnt procedures first, and then you can choose your own place to stay. Oh, and when you’re choosing a place, soone will offer you a tablet. This tablet uses the internal school network and can’t be used to access the internet or play gas, but it contains common knowledge about the Martial Mansion that gets regularly updated. For newcors, it’s called a ’tablet in hand, with nothing more to demand.’"
He glanced at Xu Lingjun with a deeper look in his eyes, and said, "Although it might be sowhat expensive, I still recomnd you buy one. It contains various common knowledge...which will help you integrate into Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion quickly, so you don’t end up losing your life before even enrolling."
Xu Lingjun: "..............."
