The two finally arrived at the house.

The house was protected by nodules, and when Lingka touched the nodules, they immediately disappeared.

Lin Jingge reached out and took the spirit card back into her hand, then glanced at Tang Cheng.

The two entered the house.

After walking around, Tang Cheng was shocked.

"Wow, this house even has farmland!" Tang Cheng exclaimed, pointing to the small plot of land behind the house.

Lin Jingge then saw the field that had grown a little bit of weeds.

The fields showed signs of cultivation, indicating that the previous owner had not abandoned them.

“Huh…” Lin Jingge walked towards the black stones on the ridge in front of her, which looked out of place with the surroundings.

She picked up a stone and examined it carefully in her hand.

Tang Cheng followed up, saying, "What is this? It looks like it's been burned by flames."

Lin Jingge touched the somewhat incomplete marks on the stone, which looked somewhat familiar.

She looked at the fields in front of her again and then she understood what was going on.

To confirm her idea, she asked Xiao Shi to make a copy of the enhancement array pattern she had seen in the Heavenly Book and show it to her.

Golden patterns took shape in her mind.

“These stones must have been left behind when setting up the spirit-gathering array,” Lin Jingge said.

As she spoke, she touched the remaining patterns on the stones where some of the surface layer had peeled off due to the scorching of the flames.

It basically matches the pattern in her mind.

"If it's a material for setting up an array, why is it in this state?" Tang Cheng wondered. She squatted down beside Lin Jingge and, imitating her, picked up a stone and examined it in her palm, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Perhaps it's because they don't want others to know about the array patterns on it."

Furthermore, since these stones cannot be stored in a storage container and taken away, this method was used to destroy the patterns of the array.

It's so badly damaged that even the King of Heaven himself couldn't fix it.

If it weren't for Lin Jingge having Xiaoshi around, she wouldn't have been able to figure out what this was.

"I see."

Having learned all this, Tang Cheng stopped asking questions and showed little interest in the stones. She casually tossed the black stone aside, looked down, and noticed that her palm was covered in dark stains.

She clapped her hands casually, rested her elbows on her legs, propped her chin on her palms, and turned to look at Lin Jingge, who was still deep in thought.

"It's a pity we haven't learned alchemy, nor do we know how to grow medicinal herbs and spiritual plants. This land is really neither good enough for us to use nor good enough to throw away," Tang Cheng sighed.

After that, the two of them went to tidy up the house.

The next day, I arrived at the meeting place on time early in the morning.

Tang Cheng pulled Lin Jingge through the crowd.

Upon seeing Lin Fu and the others standing in front of them, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pulled Lin Jingge forward.

"Hey!" Tang Cheng patted Lin Fu on the shoulder.

Lin Fu turned around abruptly and saw a smiling face.

"You guys are here really early," Tang Cheng said with a smile.

When they were choosing schools, she watched Lin Fu and Zhou Xuan make their choices, so she already knew that they had also chosen the South Campus. So she wasn't surprised to see them again.

"It's not that early, we just arrived." Zhou Xuan said, glancing sideways.

Then he looked at Lin Jingge behind Tang Cheng and nodded to her in greeting.

"I wonder when the teacher will arrive; it's already time." Tang Cheng stood on tiptoe, looking longingly at the main road ahead.

With her personality, what she can't stand the most is just waiting around.

"I don't know if I'll be able to see Dean Qing today," she murmured to herself.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fu, who had been looking down, immediately raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Cheng.

He looked as if he had seen a long-lost friend.

"What, you admire Dean Qing too?!"

"Of course, I came to the South Campus specifically for Dean Qing." Tang Cheng always felt particularly proud when mentioning Dean Qing, a pride that came from the immense power of her idol.

Hearing her words, Lin Fu's eyes shone even brighter.

"What a coincidence! I also came to the South Campus because of Dean Qing!"

The two then started talking about all of Aoki's honors, thanks to Dean Aoki.

Tang Cheng recounted these events in great detail, chatting animatedly with Lin Fu.

Lin Jingge listened without interrupting.

Tang Cheng often said these things in front of her.

She didn't know who Qingjian was originally, but now she can actually recount a lot of his deeds, all thanks to Tang Cheng, who is a big fan of Qingjian.

She never expected to meet someone with the same interests.

Their discussion continued until the teacher arrived.

A woman named Zhao Ya, dressed in a dress resembling a cheongsam, gracefully approached.

"Teacher Zhao!" Several voices suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"I never expected that it would be Teacher Zhao who would be leading us!"

"Wow, Teacher Zhao is so beautiful!"

Such voices are constantly rising and falling.

Zhao Ya, who had approached, overheard these words and a smile appeared on her face.

"I might disappoint you, but I'm not your teacher today," Zhao Ya said with a smile. "Teacher Liu is supposed to be leading you today, but since she can't come right now, I've come first to take you there."

"Teacher Liu will tell you about the history of our South Campus and various things that happen in the South Campus at Guisi Hall. This is related to the competition of the four campuses and one sect next year, so everyone should listen carefully."

After saying that, Zhao Ya led this year's freshmen toward Guisi Hall.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the gate of Guisi Hall.

"Everyone, please find a seat after you go in. Teacher Liu will be here soon. I have something to do, so I'll have to leave first."

As soon as Zhao Ya left, the group of freshmen rushed into Guisi Hall.

Lin Jingge was jostled to the side several times by the people behind her.

"Gege, what are you standing there for? Let's hurry up and go in. What if there aren't any seats left for the people at the back?" Tang Cheng exclaimed, grabbing Lin Jingge's hand and pulling her forward.

However, Tang Cheng's worries were clearly unnecessary.

There were only ten students present, but the Guisi Hall was so spacious that it could easily accommodate them.

I randomly picked a seat and sat down.

I could hear some excited discussions among the freshmen.

"Do you know the history of the Southern Academy? I know quite a bit." The speaker was a scion of a prominent family who had lived in the Southern City since childhood, and his words were full of boasting.

Some people looked down on him, but others still pressed on, asking, "Since the teacher hasn't started teaching yet, tell me what you know."

"Southern Academy..." The young master from the aristocratic family shook his head slightly when he mentioned this, and then said in a profound and unfathomable way, "I'm afraid the Southern Academy is no good."
