“Next, I will assign your dormitories. Once you receive your dormitory token, you can go to your dorm to organize your luggage and rest.”
“You can also familiarize yourself with the Spiritual Moon Sect. Tomorrow morning, the sect will send the class assignment notification to you through the Spirit Moon Ring.”
Headmaster Mo clapped her hands as she spoke. Countless jade tokens flew from her sleeves, landing in the hands of every disciple.
Yanxi stood beside Shangguan Yun and caught a jade token at the same time. She looked at it; it was for **[room one of the heavenly class]**, the same as what was written on Shangguan Yun’s token.
Every pair of double cultivation disciples was assigned the same way; study partners were sent to the same room. This meant that almost no one had any privacy, and they would have to spend day and night together.
“Alright, now that you have your tokens, you can go check your new dorms. By the way, get some good rest tonight. Spots in the elite class can be seized through challenges,” Headmaster Mo finished with a smile.
As she finished speaking, many female disciples breathed a sigh of relief and flocked out of the assembly hall. Yanxi, however, did not know which way to go and remained standing in place.
Shi Yuzhi chuckled, picked up the pale-faced Liu Quan, and flew outside.
Shangguan Yun said indifferently, “Let’s go. What are you doing standing there?”
“Uh, oh!” Mu Yanxi could only follow behind Shangguan Yun with a heavy heart. When they reached the side door of the assembly hall, she saw Ruo Xuan standing there, seemingly waiting for her.
“Um, Senior Sister Shangguan!” Ruo Xuan first bowed nervously to Shangguan Yun before speaking to Mu Yanxi. “Student Yanxi, I will definitely work hard to enter the elite class!”
Mu Yanxi had not been a person of many words in her past life, and now she was even more unsure of how to respond to this girl. ‘Why does she need to come specifically to tell me she wants to join the elite class?’
Instead, Shangguan Yun offered a proper and friendly smile. “We are in the same year, so there is no need to call me Senior Sister.”
“Are you Yanxi’s friend? You can call me Student Shangguan or Student Yun. If you want to join the elite class, good luck.”
“Uh, thank you very much!” Ruo Xuan said, bowing her head slightly again. Although Shangguan Yun claimed they were peers, Ruo Xuan felt a sense of awe in her presence.
It was not a feeling of inferiority but rather being captivated by the other woman’s charisma.
Mu Yanxi managed to remain clear-headed. She knew this was the effect of charm arts, but Shangguan Yun’s charm arts had reached a level of perfection that returned to simplicity.
There was not a trace of vulgarity about her; she was as pure as a white lotus emerging from the mud. Yet, this untouchable aura only intensified the desire to conquer her.
Moreover, she did not seem arrogant or distant at all. Instead, she appeared very approachable and easy to get along with, naturally evoking goodwill.
This was a higher realm of charm arts: charming without being overtly so, a charm that was formless.
“If there is nothing else, I will take Mu Yanxi to see the dorms first. You should go to your dormitory as well. If you want to seize a spot in the elite class tomorrow, you still need to prepare well,” Shangguan Yun said with a smile.
“Okay, Student Shangguan, Student Yanxi, see you tomorrow.” Ruo Xuan did not know what else to say. Completely captivated by Shangguan Yun’s temperament, she obediently turned and left.
“Is she your friend? Or a fellow disciple from the Chu Sect?” Shangguan Yun asked as she turned to Mu Yanxi.
Her smile had vanished, but her tone did not sound angry or resentful. It was a normal, conversational tone, as if they were just chatting.
“She was a classmate,” Mu Yanxi said. She still did not know what attitude to adopt toward her former fiancée.
“Oh? Did you want to form a double cultivation partnership with her? Did I steal your love away?” Shangguan Yun asked with a playful smile.
