Tang San and Xiao Wu were among them, arriving just before the gate closed.
That young gatekeeper had made things difficult for Tang San when he first enrolled because he was a country bumpkin from the village and hadn't given him a tip.
But after being reprimanded by the master Yu Xiaogang, he became much more obedient and cherished his job very much.
Now, when they see Tang San, they only give him a perfunctory glance. The little scuffle from a few months ago is no longer on anyone's mind.
At this time,
Dongfang Jing, who was looking for a hotel, happened to pass by the academy gate with his younger sister.
He noticed that the little girl on his shoulder had suddenly quieted down, so he looked up.
She was staring intently at the college gate, watching the children, all around her age and dressed in uniform, laughing and playing as they walked into the campus arm in arm.
Dongfang Jing stopped and asked softly, "Yao'er, do you want to go to school?"
If it weren't for the misfortune that befell her family, Dongfang Yao, at her age, should have been studying and cultivating peacefully at the academy like these other children, instead of wandering around with him.
Although they enjoy freedom, true freedom is not aimless wandering.
Hearing her brother's question, Dongfang Yao remained silent for a while, and finally shook her head: "No, Yao'er wants to follow her brother."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that her brother was standing still and wouldn't move.
She looked down and met a pair of purple eyes that seemed to see right through people.
Dongfang Yao felt a pang of panic, and her eyes unconsciously darted around.
Finally, he pretended to look at the shops on the roadside, hummed an unknown tune, and after a while asked in a casual tone, "Why aren't you walking anymore, brother?"
The young man chuckled softly, "Yao'er, do you know that your eyes always dart around when you lie?"
"I," Dongfang Yao was speechless for a moment, then finally gave up and said, "Anyway, Yao'er doesn't want to go to school, she just wants to be with her brother!"
"What if I go with you?"
"That's even worse! Going to school is such a waste of time for my brother! No, no!"
Dongfang Jing stroked his chin thoughtfully: "That's true, so I can't accompany you as a student."
Chapter 68 Enrollment
In a short time, Dongfang Jing had already come up with a solution and a plan for the future.
So he said to his younger sister:
“Our soul power will need some time before we need soul rings, so there’s no rush to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Anyway, it’s all about meditation and cultivation, so it doesn’t matter where we cultivate. We’ve been traveling for a long time; it’s time to find a place to rest peacefully. Notting City is nice; it’s quite similar to our old Lingfeng City. Of course, most importantly, other people’s children can go to school normally, so why can’t my Yao’er? What others have, Yao’er should have twice as much!”
The young man gently pinched the little girl's leg and said with a warm smile, "From now on, Yao'er, just ask for whatever you want, and your brother will fulfill your wish!"
"Brother." Dongfang Yao's nose tingled and her eyes reddened as she couldn't help but say, "Brother, you're so good to me. Yao'er will definitely marry you in the future!"
"Okay, okay~~ We'll talk about the future later."
Dongfang Jing felt embarrassed, and although he felt the topic had gone a bit off track, he didn't pay much attention to it.
"I was only focused on cultivation before and didn't pay much attention to your academic education. Although you are very smart, now that you're in school, you still need to study hard, understand?"
"Yes!" Dongfang Yao nodded vigorously.
Dongfang Jing put his younger sister down from his shoulder, took her little hand, and walked towards the academy gate.
When the young gatekeeper saw the two approaching, he habitually glanced at their clothes.
Although it looks simple, it is of excellent quality.
Especially the silver-haired youth, with his cold expression and extraordinary temperament, was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
The security guard reluctantly stepped forward and cautiously asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"Please inform your dean."
"Unfortunately, the dean is currently unavailable at the college."
"So who is in charge of new student enrollment in the college now? Where is their office?"
Dongfang Jing didn't want to waste any more words, so he simply tossed over a silver soul coin.
Sometimes, money can indeed solve many unnecessary problems.
The gatekeeper caught the silver coin, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
He quickly said that he could just look for Director Su and gave her the exact location of the office.
The two went straight to the Academic Affairs Office and found Director Su, a teacher in his sixties.
After hearing Dongfang Jing's request, he looked troubled: "Since your sister possesses soul power, she meets our academy's admission standards. However, the enrollment period for new students has already passed, so I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Dongfang Jing remained calm: "It doesn't matter. Just let my sister be a transfer student. I hope she will be taught by the most senior teachers in your academy, and her dormitory should be the best. I myself will also live in the academy, serving as both her older brother and her protector."
As he spoke, he took out two small money pouches from his soul tool and placed them on his desk, while simultaneously releasing a slight amount of soul power.
'Soul Master? No, could it be the Soul Sect?' Director Su was shocked.
He had only recently broken through to the Great Soul Master level by sheer luck, so he couldn't accurately judge Dongfang Jing's cultivation level. He only felt that the soul power there was profound and powerful, definitely not that of a superficial person.
Similarly, the identities of these two individuals remain completely unknown.
He then opened each of the two money pouches and took a look.
The first bag was bulging, containing a mixture of silver and copper.
Hidden behind the fingers are several gold soul coins.
This is more than enough to cover one person's tuition for a semester and two people's accommodation fees.
The second bag, after weighing it, roughly estimated to contain dozens, if not hundreds, of coins.
Director Su opened it and was almost blinded by the golden light.
His eyelids twitched slightly, and he glanced at the smiling Dongfang Jing before accepting everything without changing his expression.
He then put the second bag into his pocket, coughed lightly, and chuckled, "Young man, rest assured, I will do my best to fulfill your request! If you need anything else, just come to me, Old Su!"
He patted his chest to assure them, then took out a brand-new school uniform from the cabinet: "Although I can meet these requirements, since you're studying here, I hope you'll abide by the school's rules and regulations. This uniform..."
Dongfang Jing took the school uniform: "Don't worry, Director Su, as long as no one provokes us, my sister and I will follow the rules."
Director Su smiled and said, "Then welcome to Notting College. I'll take you to your dormitories."
Director Su led the brother and sister to the dormitory building.
It was dinnertime, and there weren't many students in the corridor, only a few scattered around.
He pushed open the door, and inside, both the walls and the bed were very new, clearly indicating that it had just been renovated.
Unlike other multi-person rooms, this is a double room.
"This room was originally prepared for the teachers, but now it's yours. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Your sister's textbooks will be delivered by the teacher later."
After Director Su left, Dongfang Jing asked, "Yao'er, would you like to share a room with your brother? Now that you're in school, why don't you live with other girls and make more friends?"
This was one of the reasons he decided to send his sister to school.
She has an outgoing and cheerful personality.
Completely different from my own reclusiveness, being around me for a long time will inevitably have an influence on me.
But Dongfang Yao shook her head:
"That's great! I want to live with my brother!"
After making the bed, the brother and sister hadn't had dinner yet.
They then went to the cafeteria together.
At this time, students from all grades who had been eating in the cafeteria had returned to their dormitories and saw the brother and sister, who were quite unfamiliar to them.
Many girls blushed and became infatuated when they saw the silver-haired boy's cool and handsome face.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were walking with the work-study students of Dormitory 7.
Xiao Wu, who had been walking proudly at the front, immediately shrank back and tried her best to minimize her presence when she saw Dongfang Jing.
Dongfang Jing naturally noticed the girl in pink with a scorpion-tail braid.
But this time he didn't stare at her.
Since he couldn't figure it out using the soul bone, he simply stopped paying attention to it.
Tang San noticed Xiao Wu's unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, do you know them?"
Xiao Wu shook her head repeatedly. Seeing that Dongfang Jing was no longer looking at her, she straightened her back and asked Wang Sheng beside her, "Wang Sheng, are those two from our academy? I've never seen them before."
Wang Sheng scratched his head, looking equally bewildered.
After everyone returned to Dormitory 7, Tang San was preparing to go to Yu Xiaogang's room to receive guidance.
Xiao Chenyu, a sixth-grader, rushed over.
After being defeated by Tang San and Xiao Wu, he became their underling.
"Sister Xiaowu, have you heard? A transfer student has joined the academy's first year!" Xiao Chenyu said breathlessly.
The students in Dormitory 7 immediately thought of the brother and sister.
"We just saw them in the cafeteria, weren't there two people? Why did you say it was only one?"
“I heard from the teacher that only that girl enrolled; the other one is her brother, who is just here to accompany her.”
"First grade? How old is her brother? Although he's tall, he looks about the same age as us, so why is his demeanor so different!"
"So her brother doesn't have to go to school? That's great..."
Chapter 69 Tang San's Sneaky Act
The children in Dormitory 7 all looked on with envy at the thought that Dongfang Jing could do whatever she wanted without having to attend classes.
Only Tang San grasped the key point:
'Since he was able to enter the academy, is he also a Soul Master?'
Seeing that it was getting late, he packed up his books and hurried to Yu Xiaogang's room.
