Chapter 619: Reunion After Half a Year!

"Wow! Aren't those the hidden talents recruited half a year ago?"

As the three figures appeared, the surrounding students immediately caused a commotion.

"I heard this batch of hidden talents is extraordinary. Six out of ten were directly promoted to sky-tier students, and among them, three were particularly outstanding, with talents said to be the most brilliant in the past decade!"

"Those three must be them, right?"

"

Mhmm,

it's definitely them!"

A well-informed student introduced them one by one: "The woman in the middle with the black cat on her shoulder is Mu Qianxue. She's the goddess among goddesses! Not only is she beautiful, but her talent is also exceptional. Truly... if I could kiss her once, I'd be willing to shorten my life by ten years!"

"

Bah!

A mere toad wishing to eat swan meat!"

"

Hahaha...

" The surrounding students burst into laughter.

"

Hmph,

can't I at least dream?" The student snorted, and then continued, "The boy in the yellow robe on the left is Zhao Wuji. Don't be fooled by his young age; his talent is on par with Mu Qianxue's. He's also one of the most outstanding geniuses among that batch of hidden talents. I've heard he's the young master of the Zhao family from the imperial capital, and he's always been as famous as that Little Sword God, Li Bufan."

"However, even though Little Sword God is powerful, he didn't get to train in the Heisha Region. Zhao Wuji has probably left him far behind after half a year."

"Most likely." Several students immediately nodded in agreement.

"As for the guy in the red robe, I've heard he's quite mysterious. His name is Ye Weiyang, and he's even stronger than Zhao Wuji. They say he's the most powerful among this batch of hidden talents."

"Mu Qianxue, Zhao Wuji, and Ye Weiyang... How impressive!"

The eyes of the students shimmered with admiration. To be promoted to sky-tier students just half a year after joining Tianwei Academy must have been quite an honor.

"It seems our Tianwei Academy has gained a few more geniuses on par with Li Yunting and Mu Liufeng!"

"..."

Amidst the students' discussions, Mu Qianxue and the other two slowly walked through the crowd.

Ye Weiyang and Mu Qianxue showed no visible emotion, but Zhao Wuji's face was full of pride as he disdainfully remarked, "A bunch of mediocre students who are only fit to look up to us."

Mu Qianxue picked up the small cat from her shoulder, her face showing a slight hint of impatience, but she said nothing.

"Qianxue, why did you choose the East Court? With our talent and strength, we should be in the Central Court!" Zhao Wuji noticed Mu Qianxue's impatient expression and quickly reined in his arrogance before asking.

"My choice of the East Court has nothing to do with you," Mu Qianxue replied coldly as she continued walking forward.

"Qianxue, you know how I feel about you!" Zhao Wuji patted his chest. "Your choice is also my choice."

Mu Qianxue shook her head slightly and ignored Zhao Wuji, continuing to walk ahead.

Over the past six months, she had experienced many things, but the only name that remained in her mind was Ling Feng, the one who extended a helping hand when she was at her weakest.

As for her reason for choosing the East Court, it was simple. It was because he was in the East Court!

On the other hand, Ye Weiyang quietly followed behind Mu Qianxue. Unlike Zhao Wuji, his reason for choosing the East Court was that he had heard it was the weakest among the five courts, and he intended to make it the strongest.

That was his pride!

Especially since, among this batch of hidden talents, though he was considered the strongest, only he knew that Mu Qianxue hadn't used her full strength when they fought.

So, until he truly defeated Mu Qianxue, he would keep a close eye on this woman.

A woman even more mysterious than him!

Suddenly, Mu Qianxue's footsteps halted. Her bright and clear eyes gazed ahead, and a faint smile appeared on her flawless face.

It's him!

Ling Feng!

As if guided by an unseen force, Ling Feng followed her gaze. For a moment, his mind went blank.

It's her!

Mu Qianxue!

It wasn't because of her world-stopping beauty that this reunion shocked him, but because it was so unexpected.

She wore a pure white long dress, and on the left sleeve of her shoulder, there was a faintly embroidered "Sky" character in light blue thread.

Half a year had passed, and she had already become a sky-tier student.

Back then, she was at her lowest point and looked like a destitute beggar. But now, she had transformed into a radiant phoenix perched on the highest branch, shining so brightly that it was hard to even look at her.

Their eyes met, and Ling Feng smiled faintly. Mu Qianxue also smiled softly. It was as if they were old friends who had known each other for years, and everything felt so natural.

Since the academy entrance assessment, Ling Feng hadn't seen her again. In the blink of an eye, six months had passed.

"

At last, fate has been kind to her

," Ling Feng thought. He didn't know what Mu Qianxue had gone through, but seeing her now, he genuinely felt happy for her.

At the very least, she now had the power to protect herself.

However, just then, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from beside her.

"You filthy brat, what are you looking at!? How dare a mere mystical-tier student roam around here as he pleases!?"

The voice dripping with disdain came from the young man in yellow standing beside Mu Qianxue.

He glared at Ling Feng with eyes full of warning and undisguised possessiveness toward Mu Qianxue.

No matter the occasion, a beauty's presence always seemed to attract unnecessary trouble.

This was a truth Ling Feng had recently come to realize.

"

Seems like he's one of Miss Mu's admirers

," Ling Feng thought, rubbing his nose. He ignored Zhao Wuji and instead slowly walked in the opposite direction toward Mu Qianxue.

From beginning to end, Mu Qianxue didn't blink as she watched Ling Feng approach. Her lips moved slightly, and she seemed a bit nervous, yet also filled with anticipation.

"You bastard!" Zhao Wuji was so enraged that he started jumping around like a mad dog. "You insolent boy, you have no idea how high the heavens are, do you? How dare you come closer!? You're nothing but a filthy toad; have you ever taken a good look at yourself in a puddle? How dare you think you can court Qianxue?"

Still, Ling Feng gave no response.

Why would a man care about the barking of a mad dog?

"You're asking for death!"

Zhao Wuji was infuriated by Ling Feng's indifference.

How dare this mystical-tier student ignore my warnings multiple times?

Since when did mystical-tier students become so arrogant?

Boom!

In an instant, Zhao Wuji's figure flashed as he leaped into the air. Like a descending falcon, he punched out fiercely. A faint golden fist imprint materialized in the air and flew straight toward Ling Feng's head.
