Soon Ji Jiuying arrived at the square, which was already full of students, both freshmen and returning students, because her arrival attracted everyone's attention!

Ji Jiuying then realized that her school uniform seemed to be different from theirs, making her stand out conspicuously in the square!

······

"That old jerk, is he deliberately trying to embarrass her?" Ji Jiuying sighed, rubbing her forehead in exasperation.

"Who is that freshman? Why are her clothes different from ours?"

"Yeah, we're all in white and blue, so why is hers white and purple?"

"Don't you think her clothes look more elegant than ours?"

"I feel the same way!"

"Hmph! She even dares to alter the uniforms of Star Academy. Could it be that she's deliberately dressing like this to attract attention?" The woman sneered. It's her again!

"Zhou Xixi, you're not jealous of her, are you?!"

"Hua Yan, stop slandering me!"

······

Not only the students, but even the elders were shocked. What was going on?

Ji Jiuying ignored the stares of others and found a secluded spot to sit down. Only after everyone had arrived did Shen Qingqiu slowly walk onto the podium.

Wen Longting and Qingling tried to squeeze to Ji Jiuying's side, but there were just too many people!

"Wasn't it said that the Dean was back? And it's Vice Dean Shen giving a speech again!"

"Yes, I've been at Star Academy for two years now, and I've never even seen that elusive dean once!"

"What's two years to you? I've been here for four years and haven't seen you even once!"

······

"Quiet down, everyone!"

Shen Qingqiu waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet!

A smile appeared on his face when he saw Ji Jiuying. It turned out that the old fox's apprentice was her. He had originally wanted to take Ji Jiuying as his own, but the old fox beat him to it!

He got angry just thinking about how smug that old fox looked at him!

Shen Qingqiu pointed in Ji Jiuying's direction, "Come up here!"

Everyone's attention was drawn back to this scene. Some were watching the spectacle, some were gloating, some were surprised, and some were worried. Ji Jiuying was speechless once again!

"Me?" Ji Jiuying pointed to herself and looked in Shen Qingqiu's direction to confirm.

"Yes, yes, it's you! Girl!"

Ji Jiuying walked up helplessly, not understanding what he was up to.

"I'm sure you're all curious about why her clothes are different from yours. Now I'll explain it to you." Shen Qingqiu spoke using his spiritual power. He had heard what the people below had said, and he took this opportunity to explain, achieving the effect that old fox wanted.

"The reason her clothes are different from yours is because she is Ji Jiuying, the only disciple of our Dean. From today onwards, whether you are a freshman or a senior, you must respectfully call her Senior Sister, except for the chief disciple."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent!

Han Shaoting raised an eyebrow. So he was the dean's apprentice. No wonder!

Han Donglin stared at the person on the stage in disbelief. Oh no, he had offended the dean's apprentice!

Wen Chuyu remained expressionless, while Wen Longting, seeing the looks in everyone's eyes, proudly raised her head. Her little sister Jiu was indeed that amazing.

"How could this be! How could she possibly be the Dean's apprentice!" Zhou Xixi stared at Ji Jiuying in disbelief, her jealousy intensifying.

A woman in the crowd looked at Ji Jiuying on the stage, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes. Yesterday, she had heard that there was a girl among this year's freshmen who was more beautiful than her. At first, she did not believe it at all, because other people had said that they were more beautiful than her before, but they were just so-so. So she had long felt that her beauty was unmatched. But her curiosity still made her want to come and see for herself.

Now that she had met Ji Jiuying, she suddenly felt like a grain of light in the ocean.

"Ji Jiuying? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

A gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.

"Could it be that person from the Azure Moon Kingdom?"

"It seems that's true. On the day she arrived, Senior Brother Chuyu personally greeted her at the door."

"Hiss~ I didn't expect Princess Anping to be not only strong, but also so beautiful! It seems that the title of the most beautiful woman in Star Academy is about to change hands."

The murmurs of conversation in the crowd stung Liu Piaopiao's ears.

The lackeys behind Liu Piaopiao were immediately displeased. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe me, I'll gouge out your eyes! Who dares to compare themselves to our Senior Sister Piaopiao!"

"That's right, Ji Jiuying is nowhere near as beautiful as our Senior Sister Piaopiao!"

"Hmph~ You think we're afraid of you? Besides, we're just telling the truth, and you won't let us say it!"

"that is······"

Everyone started talking at once, and they almost got into an argument!

Shen Qingqiu frowned. "Silence!"

The crowd gradually quieted down.

“Girl, you’re the dean’s only disciple, so you can sit here.” Shen Qingqiu pointed to the empty seat next to him.

Ji Jiuying sat down immediately! This cheap master of hers is really something, always doing this kind of fancy stuff!

"Alright, the Star Academy's new student assembly officially begins. First of all, I want to congratulate you on becoming members of Star Academy. In the new year, I hope everyone can..."

Shen Qingqiu talked on and on without stopping, and Ji Jiuying kept yawning as she listened.

"Girl! Girl!"

A female voice sounded from the side, and Ji Jiuying turned her head to look.

"Girl, I am Chang Le, the sect leader of the Yin Sect. I heard from Qing Ling that she was able to come to Star Academy thanks to you." Chang Le said kindly.

"So it's Sect Master Chang Le. I was just helping her make a connection, but her cultivation still depends on herself. I hope Sect Master Chang Le can give Qing Ling some guidance." Upon hearing that the person next to her was Qing Ling's master, Ji Jiu Ying was instantly wide awake.

"Qingling is a very ambitious child, and she also has a great talent for music! It's just that the spiritual technique she cultivates is one I've never seen before..."

How could Ji Jiuying not understand the meaning behind her words? The Illusory Sea Sound that Qingling cultivated was taken from the Heavenly Punishment Manual. Although it was not of a high level, it was a spiritual technique that had been lost for a long time. It was normal that she had not heard of it.

"The spiritual technique she's currently practicing was given to her by my master. I think it's quite suitable for Qingling, so I gave it to her!" Ji Jiuying used Old Man Yu as a shield, since this kind of spiritual technique is easy for others to spy on. Anyway, they rarely see Old Man Yu, so she's not afraid of being asked about it.

"Hehe~ I see!" Chang Le nodded in understanding. So it was given by the Dean. That makes sense!

The two then chatted idly until Ji Jiuying felt they had run out of things to talk about, at which point Shen Qingqiu stopped.

"As usual, starting tomorrow, you will have seven days to hunt spirit beasts in the Boundless Mountains to earn points for your livelihood. The tokens you carry will be used to store these points, so please take good care of them. Also, please take good care of any spirit beasts you obtain. Alright, the freshman assembly is over. We will meet at this square tomorrow!"
