7 min read1,727 words

Countless years of tradition have shrouded the [Tianyi Pavilion] in a layer of legend and myth.

In the hearts of the students, it holds the highest and most revered status, a position that other college clubs can hardly reach. Over the years, even the upper echelons of Bai Lu College have given this circle sufficient attention.

For any student of Bai Lu College, being able to enter the [Tianyi Pavilion] once has also become a symbol of status.

The moonlight was particularly bright tonight.

Tonight, the [Tianyi Pavilion] was especially lively.

The graduates of the previous fourth-year class had left the college, and the new fourth-year students had become the senior students of Bai Lu College. The controllers of the [Tianyi Pavilion] had also completed the transition from the old to the new, with the three most outstanding noble students from the pre-fourth-year class taking charge of everything here.

The banquet was held for this very reason.

The elemental rune array's light flames isolated this waterside garden from the outside world. In the night, the dazzling and brilliant light appeared glorious and beautiful, a magnificent sight.

As students passed by, they would hear the faint sounds of music and singing, and their faces would show envy and longing.

Unfortunately, the requirements for entering here were simply too high. Even students from minor noble families did not have the qualifications to enter.

On the same night, Jiang Xiaohan was in a good mood.

Because this was her first time entering the [Tianyi Pavilion].

From the moment she entered Bai Lu College, one of Jiang Xiaohan's goals was to enter the [Tianyi Pavilion] and become a part of this top-tier student circle.

For this, she had paid a great deal and had been rejected and ridiculed many times.

She hated herself for not being born into a noble family and resented her parents for being lowly peasants.

Clearly, she had outstanding martial talent, far surpassing those noble heirs who were nothing but wine bags and rice bags, yet she had to bear the inferiority complex brought by her birth and work hundreds or thousands of times harder than others to gain recognition.

Her presence at the [Tianyi Pavilion] tonight was not due to her own efforts and talent being recognized by this circle, but because Han Xiaofei had given her a ticket to this banquet.

Look, this is the ridiculous reality.

Noble heirs can casually give away tickets, while commoners have to work tirelessly to get them.

Jiang Xiaohan felt a sense of sorrow in her heart, but she wore the most beautiful evening gown, making herself look radiant. She forced a sincere and beautiful smile, held Han Xiaofei's arm, and appeared at the banquet.

She could clearly feel that the moment she appeared, countless male students' eyes lit up.

None of the high-ranking noble female students could compare to her.

"Xiaofei, you're late. You'll have to drink a penalty later..." A tall noble student came over to greet Han Xiaofei, then his gaze naturally fell on Jiang Xiaohan, saying, "Your companion is very beautiful. Which noble family is she from... She looks familiar..."

As he spoke, a few more students who knew Han Xiaofei came over to greet him.

"Let me introduce you. This is Jiang Xiaohan, who ranked in the top twenty on the Lu Ming list." Han Xiaofei, with his gentle and refined manner, introduced her with a smile.

"Jiang Xiaohan? Oh, I've heard of her..." The tall noble student recalled something and frowned.

Jiang Xiaohan was considered a minor celebrity in the fourth year, but due to her background, she had no right to appear in the [Tianyi Pavilion]. It was unexpected that Han Xiaofei had brought her here, which was somewhat against the rules.

But then he thought, one of the current presidents of the [Tianyi Pavilion] was Han Xiaofei's cousin, Han Shuanghu. With this connection, Han Xiaofei would probably not be held accountable.

In no time, a crowd gathered around Han Xiaofei.

Jiang Xiaohan used all her skills and quickly got along well with these proud noble heirs, admitting that this beautiful woman indeed had outstanding charm and tact.

"Have you heard that Senior Brother Xiaofei and Junior Sister Xiaohan went to the new student admission exam today? Did you encounter any interesting things?" Zhou Xian, a tall noble student, asked casually as the drinks flowed.

Han Xiaofei smiled slightly, "Nothing interesting, but Junior Sister Xiaohan did meet an old acquaintance..."

"Oh? What old acquaintance? Tell us about it." Someone chimed in.

Jiang Xiaohan put down her wine glass, her smile radiant, and said casually, "An old playmate from my youth, who also came to take the college entrance exam. But due to the trauma he suffered over the years, his mind is a bit off. He always thinks he's a genius, but after hitting a wall, he went crazy. I felt sorry for him and gave him some advice..."

"There are plenty of such self-deluded small fry. Junior Sister Xiaohan, you're too kind. You really don't need to bother with them." A noble girl said, blinking her big eyes.

"Ah, I just couldn't bear it..." Jiang Xiaohan sighed, with a look of compassion.

"Junior Sister Xiaohan's old playmate? So he must be around fourteen or fifteen years old? Ha ha, after so many years, he still can't get into the college. He must be a fool..." The tall noble student laughed heartily.

At the end, he asked casually, "What's the fool's name? Tell us, ha ha!"

"Yes, it's quite an interesting story," Han Xiaofei smiled, "Right, what's that eel's name? Junior Sister Xiaohan."

Jiang Xiaohan, with a smile, said, "Speaking of which, that guy has a bit of a reputation in Lu Ming City, but it's not a good one... His name is Ye Qingyu!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of the tall noble student and the other noble students froze.

"Ye Qingyu?" The tall noble student's voice changed, "That guy is your old playmate?"

Jiang Xiaohan didn't immediately notice the change in everyone's expressions and said with a smile, "Yes, that guy who was once called the first genius. A joke by the old dean was taken seriously by him. It's really pitiful..."

After leaving the blood qi exam, Jiang Xiaohan prepared for tonight's banquet with Han Xiaofei, so she didn't know what happened later.

Being able to attend the [Tianyi Pavilion] banquet was, for this girl obsessed with fame and fortune, the most important thing since entering Bai Lu College. She was completely immersed in such joy and anticipation and didn't think about Ye Qingyu anymore.

Han Xiaofei, who had been with Jiang Xiaohan all along, naturally didn't know what happened later either.

But the tall noble student and the other fourth-year students were very clear about Ye Qingyu's terrifying performance.

With his results in five subjects, not only did he enter Bai Lu College, but he also ranked 21st on the overall admission exam results list. Such a person was described as a pitiful guy by Jiang Xiaohan?

In the entire Bai Lu City, countless people's faces were slapped hard that evening, and even more people wished they could become such a so-called pitiful guy like Ye Qingyu!

"Um, Senior Brother Han, about Ye Qingyu... Do you also think he's a pitiful guy?" The tall noble student, Gao Shenghan, who had always had a good relationship with Han Xiaofei, coughed and indirectly reminded him to avoid saying the wrong thing.

Han Xiaofei didn't think much about it and said casually, "What's wrong with that? Just a mud eel dreaming of being a genius, fantasizing about leaping over the dragon gate. He's almost gone mad from dreaming too much!"

Jiang Xiaohan, smiling, added, "Yes, Ye Qingyu has gone mad and become a laughingstock in Lu Ming City. This is his fifth time taking the admission exam. The chief examiner of the blood qi exam, Liu Heng, to avoid him embarrassing himself, specially asked him to take the exam when no one was around. But he not only didn't appreciate it, he even caused a commotion in the exam room. I, out of old feelings, gave him some advice, but he ended up mocking me..."

Before she could finish, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Hypocritical! Ridiculous! Pitiful! Ignorant!"

These words were so clear, and they carried a high and mighty disdain and contempt, clearly directed at Jiang Xiaohan and Han Xiaofei.

Han Xiaofei's face darkened.

Who dared to be so arrogant in front of him?

He turned his head in anger and saw a figure in a pure white student robe walking gracefully from the distant, bright light.

In the next moment, the anger on his face completely disappeared.

The figure walking towards them was an extremely beautiful woman.

She had a graceful figure, a slender waist, and a head of dense black hair that was slightly tied up, making her skin appear even more smooth and white, like jade. The ordinary student robe on her seemed to take on a sacred quality, giving her a unique aura that no one else could match, making her legs appear round and long.

She walked out of the moonlight, like a fairy from the moon palace.

"It's Senior Sister Bai Yuqing!"

"Hello, Senior Sister Bai!"

"No wonder she didn't give Han Xiaofei any face, it's the current first fairy of Bai Lu College, Bai Yuqing, who is also one of the three presidents of the [Tianyi Pavilion]."

"The Bai family's influence in Lu Ming City is no less than the Han family's!"

For a moment, the crowd was abuzz with discussion, and all the students stood up to greet the white-robed fairy, Bai Yuqing, clearly showing her extremely high status and identity among the fourth-year noble students of Bai Lu College.

Even Han Xiaofei didn't dare to be disrespectful and stood up to bow to Bai Yuqing.

Jiang Xiaohan slightly lowered her head, but her eyes flashed with a疯狂而又隐忍的光芒. She knew that the woman had just reprimanded her, but she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

The status and identity of this woman, Bai Yuqing, had always been the object of Jiang Xiaohan's envy and jealousy.
