The inner sect disciple nearby couldn't help but sigh and praised, "Senior Brother Ling, you have such a good eye! This woman looks so attractive, like a fairy from heaven! She's even prettier than the inner sect disciple Qiu Yuner!"

The man called 'Senior Brother Ling' had a rather obscene smile on his face.

Ling Yuzhou said: "Go and find out where she will be arranged to live."

"Okay, Senior Brother Ling!"

At this time, Zhongli Wuyuan, who was following the team, seemed to have noticed something. He glanced back inadvertently and happened to see the malicious looks of Ling Yuzhou and other disciples.

Their target seems to be... Qingqing.

Zhongli Wuyuan calmly withdrew his gaze, his brows and eyes becoming a little colder.

Soon, the geniuses from Dongzhou were arranged into the outer disciple dormitory, with men and women living separately.

Coincidentally, Zhongli Wuyuan, Nangong Junze and Lan Yichen were assigned to the same courtyard.

Lan Yichen is cold in temperament, Zhongli Wuyuan is introverted, and Nangong Junze only talks when socializing. The three of them seem like strangers who have just met.

Nangong Qingqing lived with two other Dongzhou girls. The atmosphere was quite good. Perhaps because they were all from the same hometown, the other two girls also trusted Nangong Qingqing.

They all received the basic equipment as disciples of Nanmu Sect, such as outer disciple clothes, identity tokens, communication crystals, sect rules, etc.

A female prodigy from Dongzhou asked curiously, "Qingqing, I just heard from Elder Zhou that the outer sect is also divided into three branches: the martial sect, the magic sect, and the weapon sect. We will choose tomorrow. Which sect will you choose?"

Nangong Qingqing was stunned for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, "Method."

The female prodigy sighed regretfully and said, "Oh, yes, Qingqing, your skills belong to the category of magic. We may have to separate from you. We both chose the martial arts sect."

"Yeah." Nangong Qingqing nodded, and then said: "Anyway, we are from the same sect, we just don't practice together."

The female genius sighed and said with some confusion about her future, "Yes, I suddenly feel that it is too difficult to survive in Zhongling Province. Did you see just now? All the disciples of Nanmu Sect looked at us as if we were bumpkins from the countryside."

The tone was full of loneliness and disappointment.

Nangong Qingqing was silent for a moment, then she said firmly, "I must make it."

Her words stunned the other two. They were a little surprised to see Nangong Qingqing's unwavering expression. Before they could ask the reason, they heard Nangong Qingqing say something.

"We agreed to meet at the top together."

The other two were shocked, and they immediately realized that what Nangong Qingqing said was about the Fengyun team.

One person said: "You two have such a good relationship."

Nangong Qingqing did not deny it, but just smiled faintly.

At this moment, her communication crystal lit up.

Nangong Qingqing took out the communication crystal from the storage space and directly probed her spiritual sense into it. She heard Zhongli Wuyuan's clear and pleasant voice: "Qingqing, which door will you choose tomorrow?"

Nangong Qingqing was slightly stunned and pursed her lips.

She replied, "Famen, what about you?"

After delivering the message, Nangong Qingqing raised her eyes and saw the two of them staring at her with gossipy eyes. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

One of them asked curiously, "Qingqing, there are so many handsome and powerful men in the Fengyun team. Don't you have anyone you like?"

“That’s right!”

When Nangong Qingqing heard this, someone's figure appeared in her mind. Her face turned slightly red, and suddenly the communication crystal in her hand lit up.

She panicked and the communication crystal slipped from her hand and fell.

There was a clang sound.

Nangong Qingqing immediately bent down to pick up the communication crystal, then stood up.

“…No.” Nangong Qingqing clenched the communication crystal stone slightly with her fingers, her heart beating faster, and she shook her head slightly.

"Really?"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop asking, this question is too offensive."

After they stopped asking questions, Nangong Qingqing felt relieved.

She returned to her room and probed her consciousness into the communication crystal. As expected, it was his pleasant voice again: "Well, I will choose the method too."

Nangong Qingqing lowered her eyes and calmed herself down as quickly as possible. She hesitated for a moment, then put the communication crystal back into the storage space.

No reply to him.

On the other side, in the dormitory yard, Zhongli Wuyuan slowly rubbed the communication crystal in his hand with his thumb. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he put the communication crystal away.

At this moment, there was a knock on his door.

Knock knock——

Zhongli Wuyuan stood up and opened the door.

The person who came was Nangong Junze. He had a faint smile on his handsome face, but his eyes were staring at Zhongli Wuyuan with some depth.

"Want to chat sometime?"

Zhongli Wuyuan nodded in agreement: "Of course."

Nangong Junze walked into Zhongli Wuyuan's room and sat down. He looked at Zhongli Wuyuan and said with a hint of regret, "If I hadn't hesitated and joined your Fengyun team back then, I'm afraid Fengyun would have more than eight people."

Zhongli Wuyuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he walked over to sit opposite Nangong Junze.

Nangong Junze continued, "In the past, I could only see Dongzhou, and not the wider world. I chose not to join your Fengyun team because I believed I would be a king in the future, and I wanted to be a leader. However, as my vision grew, I realized that my vision was too narrow."

Zhongli Wuyuan said: "Everyone has their own aspirations. Joining the Fengyun team may not be your best choice. If you have ambitions, then you have a future."

"You're right." Nangong Junze nodded, and then he revealed his true purpose: "I came here to ask you a question."

"Please go ahead."

Nangong Junze's smile faded slightly, and he looked at him sharply and deeply: "Are you interested in my imperial sister?"

Zhongli Wuyuan didn't say anything when he heard this.

Nangong Junze stood up and looked down at him condescendingly: "If you are not sincere, then don't mess with my sister. If you really hurt my sister, I will not let you off easily. Even if Yun Zheng and the others are here, I will not let you go!"

Nangong Junze said these words not to get an answer from Zhongli Wuyuan, but to warn him and let him know that Nangong Qingqing has a brother like him.

Nangong Junze knew what kind of life Qingqing had led since childhood. Now Qingqing had finally come out of it, so he didn't want Qingqing to be hurt and closed his heart again.

Zhongli Wuyuan slowly raised his eyes, his gaze meeting his calmly.

"Whether I have feelings for Qingqing or not, I can promise that I will never hurt Qingqing."
