"Is this the Southern Xinjiang University?"

The young boy slowly raised his head and looked at the plaque at the school gate.

The characters on the plaque were written in a vigorous and elegant style, and the material of the plaque itself was exceptionally impressive.

It appears to be made from ancient agarwood, green-scaled white jade dragon bones.

Looking out, a sense of tranquility arises in one's heart.

Today is the start of the third cohort of freshmen at Southern Xinjiang University, and all the teachers and students of the university are heading this way.

Everyone was doing their part; some people were holding up banners at the entrance to welcome the new students.

Some people were registering the names of the visitors one by one at the door.

The entire South Xinjiang University was unusually vibrant with life.

"Excuse me, what's your name?" A girl lightly leaped in front of the boy, her face beaming with smiles.

The black JK skirt swung wildly.

The boy stared blankly, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

The girl smiled again and said to the boy, "Hey, you have to tell me your name."

"I'm the senior student in charge of registering everyone!"

"Are you sure the student is from our Southern Xinjiang University?"

This voice, as clear as a silver bell, pulled the boy back from his dream.

In a childish and awkward voice, she said, "Ah? I'm a student at Southern Xinjiang University!"

"I'm also a student specially recruited by Professor Zhong Ziqi, a professor at Southern Xinjiang University!"

As he spoke, the boy pulled his backpack to the front and began searching for his identification documents.

This action made the girl cover her mouth and laugh.

"Pfft, so you're the new junior?"

"I heard from the teacher that he found you in an ordinary middle school!"

"Tell me your idea is novel and has a high probability of being realized!"

"Even though the teacher is quite unreliable, he rarely praises people like this! It seems you are really great!"

The girl's praise was gentler than the first spring breeze, striking the boy's heart directly.

The boy stammered and couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"Hello...!"

"My name is Mingguang, and I'm a new student. Can I register first?"

The girl looked at the inexperienced boy and immediately knew.

Things are probably going to get even more interesting in our sect from now on!

"Hello, my name is Chen Ning, Chen as in dried tangerine peel and Ning as in tranquility."

"She's your senior."

"However, compared to 'senior sister,' I still hope you'll call me 'senior sister.'"

"After all, besides being a senior student, I am also Professor Zhong Ziqi's student, and currently his only student."

As she spoke, the girl gently tapped her smooth chin with her hand.

He spoke thoughtfully, "It should be the only one at the moment."

"I didn't hear the old man say who else."

"At the very least, within the Academy of Arts, it's highly likely that it's just the two of us left!"

As she spoke, the girl reached out her hand toward Mingguang, her face full of anticipation.

"From today onwards, we're officially acquainted, Ming-guang!"

Mingguang looked at her with a strange expression, but hesitated to reach out.

His face practically screamed those two words.

shy.

Mingguang didn't have many friends at that ordinary high school.

Let alone girls, he doesn't have many male friends either.

Mingguang was completely dumbfounded by this situation.

Completely unsure how to react, Chen Ning took his arm and led him into the campus.

"Don't be shy, Mingguang! From today onwards, we're on the same side!"

"From now on, your senior will protect you!"
