Lin Ban didn't say anything.

The three of them had a pleasant meal.

On the way back, Jiang Niyun hesitated several times to speak. Bai Suning saw it and said with a smile: "Just say whatever you want to say."

"I have nothing to say to you." Jiang Niyun snorted twice, very arrogant.

Lin Ban walked with them without saying a word.

Her height just reached the shoulders of Bai Suning and Jiang Niyun.

After a while.

Seeing that Bai Suning didn't say anything else, Jiang Niyun couldn't help herself and asked, "Have you really reached the Grandmaster level?"

"Um."

"Are you sure you're not lying?" Jiang Niyun was a little skeptical, with her brows twisted into a knot.

"Is there any need to lie about this kind of thing?" Bai Suning smiled and looked at her again.

Jiang Niyun: "..."

Such a young girl master...

As if he still couldn't believe it, or felt it was unreal, he looked worried and said, "How did you cultivate? What did you eat to cultivate? How did you improve so quickly?"

She practiced so hard, but in the end she was only at the peak of the innate realm.

How come one has achieved the level of a Grandmaster even though they are the same age?

"Just practice normally." Bai Suning replied calmly.

"You're not the last disciple of some sect, are you?" This was the only way Jiang Niyun could think of to advance quickly. "They gave all the resources of the sect to you."

Bai Suning: "..."

Bai Suning looked at her seriously, with a hint of joking in her eyes: "Girl, don't struggle. Sometimes we have to admit that talent is also a big part of advancement."

Jiang Niyun: "..."

Jiang Niyun exploded immediately, looked at her angrily, and hit her on the hip: "You want to be beaten, don't you?"

What nonsense are you talking about!

Too much!

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Bai Suning followed her words and even made up a story according to her wishes, "I just gathered all the cultivation resources in the city to practice, so I improved so quickly."

Jiang Niyun rolled her eyes at her, disgusted: "Hypocrisy!"

Bai Suning smiled immediately.

The three chatted for a while.

Jiang Niyun suddenly felt that the name Bai Suning sounded more and more familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

Thinking of this, she asked, "Have you ever done anything great before?"

To her, unless the person is a celebrity, she has never heard of him.

Bai Suning shook her head.

"Impossible." Jiang Niyun frowned and thought deeply, her eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement. "I have clearly heard of your name. If it weren't for the great achievements of the motherland, I..."

Having said this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Looking at Bai Suning excitedly, "I know!"

Bai Suning: “???”

Lin Ban also looked confused.

"You're from Yuxiao City, right?" Jiang Niyun was very excited, jumping up and down as she spoke, "Bai Suning from Yuxiao City!"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Bai Suning asked innocently, and it was completely unclear what was causing her excitement.

"What else?!" Jiang Niyun was laughing like crazy, and the look in her eyes became more and more intimate, as if their relationship was getting closer. "I know all your great achievements from a long way away. You are arrogant and domineering, and you do all kinds of evil. You are simply the worst of the bad guys!"

Lin Ban subconsciously looked at Bai Suning.

Bai Suning's face darkened.

This...

"But you're actually kind of cute now, completely different from before." Jiang Niyun is a person who speaks her mind and is never afraid of offending others. "Tell me, are you pretending?"

"What do you mean by pretending?" Bai Suning opened her hand, her expression as serious as it could be, "Sister, I'm turning from evil to good and doing good."

“Puhahahaha!”

"You really are that Bai Suning!"

"If the name wasn't familiar to me, I wouldn't see any trace of her in you at all!"

Bai Suning: "..."

Seeing that she was still laughing, he asked with a dark face: "Have you laughed enough?"

"No!"

"If you laugh again, I'll beat you up." Bai Suning threatened her, looking at her fiercely, "I'll hit you in the face!"

Jiang Niyun stopped talking decisively.

It’s not that she is afraid of Bai Suning, but she is really no match for Bai Suning now. If she is really hit in the face, it would be very embarrassing.

Several people returned to the dormitory together, each busy with their own things.

After the gathering, the third elder took Bai Suning away.

Bai Suning was completely confused.

Arriving at the Third Elder's office, she tentatively asked, "Third Elder, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"You should know about the freshman competition in a week." The third elder said this first, his eyes always on her.

Bai Su Ning nodded: "I know."

Wasn’t this mentioned before?

Just as she was wondering what he wanted to talk to her about, the Third Elder spoke with a serious look on his face: "I don't want you to participate."

This simple sentence stirred up some waves in Bai Suning's heart.

She looked at him with confusion, and asked in confusion: "Can I ask why?"

Representing the department in the competition is an honor within the department.

"You are very talented, and your wood spiritual roots have only just grown. If you participate in the competition, if the opponent doesn't hold back, it is very likely to damage your talent." The Third Elder didn't want such a good seedling to be ruined, so he was naturally cautious. "For safety reasons, I don't recommend you participate."

"But if we win, wouldn't it be an honor for the department?" Bai Suning asked back.

The healing type is always ridiculed by the psychic type.

If they were a little bit better than them, they wouldn't laugh at them.

"We healing forces have lost many times, so we don't care this time." The Third Elder really didn't care. To him, nothing was more important than Bai Suning's talent. "I just hope you can protect yourself and don't do anything dangerous."

Bai Suning hesitated.

She still wanted to participate, but seeing the Third Elder's expression...

"I've already submitted the list." The Third Elder acted first and reported to her later, telling her after he had already done it. "There are Cang Qing, Jiang Niyun, and a young man named Ji Heng. If nothing unexpected happens, these three will be the ones left."

"But..." Bai Suning hesitated, frowning before finally speaking, "If a wood-type spiritual root is so fragile and easily destroyed, it can only mean that it's not of high quality."

Spiritual roots are not fragile items like other things.

If it disappears so easily, it only proves that it is really not suitable.

"I know how you feel." The Third Elder was also in a dilemma. This wasn't just his opinion, it was also the opinion of the Eighth Elder and the other instructors. "How about this? If someone gets stage fright during the competition, how about you go up there?"
