Sister!

Lin Meng had just entered the mysterious gate and arrived in this strange world when she heard a familiar voice.

The moment Ye Xiu saw Lin Meng, his emotions surged with excitement, and he quickly ran toward her.

Lin Meng exclaimed, "What a coincidence! Where are you headed?"

Ye Xiu pointed to a nearby school and said:

"I'm going to the school to pick up my admission letter; I should be heading to university soon."

Lin Meng was startled again. "Didn't we just finish the college entrance exam? How can university start so soon?"

"What about winter break? Don't you get a breather after the exam? By the way, which university did you apply to?"

Ye Xiu opened his mouth upon hearing that, looking puzzled.

"What's winter break? Once the admission letter arrives, isn't it just time to report right away?"

"Sister, my awakened supernatural ability isn't recognized, so I couldn't get into a top university, but fortunately Team Captain Wu Jiang recommended me to Canaan University, and the principal and homeroom teacher helped pull some strings."

Wu Jiang, Lin Meng recalled, seemed to be a captain of the Night Watch in Canaan City.

No matter what, Ye Xiu's talent is S-rank, so someone will surely appreciate it and want to take a chance.

But what Lin Meng didn't expect was that although they have college entrance exams and such here, there isn't even a winter break!

The students here are miserable!

After thinking, Lin Meng said:

"I'll wait for you here; go quickly and come back quickly."

Ye Xiu's eyes lit up; he swooshed out in a flash, moving extremely fast.

He had originally wanted to go find the principal to properly thank him, but since his sister arrived, she naturally came first.

He could thank the principal and homeroom teacher later.

Anyway, Canaan University isn't far from here; he can come back anytime.

While waiting for Ye Xiu, Lin Meng happened to see a congratulatory notice posted on the bulletin board at the school gate.

Upon closer look, the notice wasn't about anyone else—it was about Ye Xiu's mortal enemy, Cui Cheng.

"That jerk actually got into Capital University?"

Although Lin Meng didn't know what kind of university that was, she could tell any school that posts such a notice must be a top-tier institution.

At that moment, the elderly gatekeeper also walked over, apparently bored, and struck up a conversation with Lin Meng.

"Young Master Cui is the top scorer in our Canaan City's comprehensive college entrance exam this time, and with family backing, his admission to Capital University is well deserved."

Lin Meng snorted, curled her lip, and said:

"No matter how good the talent, if the character is lacking, who knows if he'll become a disaster in the future?"

The gatekeeper's face flushed with embarrassment upon hearing that; he certainly knew Cui Cheng was no good, but he dared not say so.

"Little lady, I've seen you come to our school many times; you must be a relative of some student. I advise you to watch your words—the Cui family isn't to be trifled with; they're the most powerful clan in Canaan City."

"Moreover, Young Master Cui not only has A-rank talent, his supernatural ability is lightning-attributed; he's bound to rise high, so opposing him would not be wise."

Upon hearing that, Lin Meng suddenly nodded; the old gatekeeper had indeed reminded her.

With the Cui family behind him and now a student at Capital University, openly killing him would obviously not be wise.

Especially for Ye Xiu, if he mishandles it and his revenge is discovered, it would do him no good at all.

He should lie low now, not make too many enemies for himself.

If he really made a move against Cui Cheng during the Night of a Hundred Spirits, he might well be noticed.

Lin Meng stroked her chin, pondering.

Perhaps she should do it herself.

She isn't a person of this world; she has no roots here. Even if discovered, she could just dust herself off and retreat to the real world for a while.

No matter how capable the Cui family is, they couldn't cross the mysterious gate to seize her on Earth.

Ye Xiu's younger brother still has great potential, a bright future ahead; it's not worth sacrificing his prospects for a scoundrel.

Just then, Ye Xiu had already gone and returned, smiling as he stood before Lin Meng.

His heart and eyes were filled only with his sister; he didn't even notice the congratulatory notice posted in the display window.

Seeing that he hadn't noticed, Lin Meng quickly tugged him away.

"Sister, here, this is my admission letter."

Lin Meng took the booklet from Ye Xiu's hand, opened it, and indeed it was Canaan University.

"Night Watch Preparatory Class? This class must be the best, right?"

Ye Xiu scratched his head, humbly saying:

"It's not exactly the best, but as long as I graduate smoothly, I'll definitely be able to join Canaan City's Night Watch organization."

Lin Meng couldn't help but give Ye Xiu a thumbs-up.

"It seems there are still people with discerning eyes; university doesn't have to be the absolute top—personal strength is what matters."

Ye Xiu nodded, "I think the same, but my getting into the Night Watch Preparatory Class is largely thanks to Team Captain Wu Jiang."

"I showed him the black panther's strength; although the black panther can't use supernatural abilities, its combat power far exceeds that of ordinary beasts, and Wu Jiang felt I, as a summoner, wasn't completely useless, so he gave me this opportunity, but…"

"But there's a condition: I must serve five years in Captain Wu's unit before I can decide whether to stay."

Lin Meng thought that was fine; someone appreciating him and giving him an opportunity also meant they would likely look out for him a bit.

"Not bad; those conditions set by Team Captain Wu aren't too harsh, being a Night Watch anywhere is similar, and besides you still have Zhizhi to look after—staying in Canaan City is the best outcome for you two siblings."

Ye Xiu laughed upon hearing that, "I think the same."

Really nice; his and his sister's thoughts always stay in sync—this must be what they call being of one mind.

"Sister, come to my place for a sit; Zhizhi said she misses you."

Ye Xiu couldn't bear to let Lin Meng go, so he moved his sister out.

However, Ye Zhizhi also indeed thinks of Lin Meng every day.

In the rental house, Ye Zhizhi heard Lin Meng had arrived, and indeed she bounced out to greet her.

After not seeing the little one for a few days, her little face grew ever more rosy and plump, her cheeks filling out a bit, looking chubby and delicately carved like jade.

"Sister, you've finally come; Brother always thinks of you at home, even calling 'sister' in his dreams."

Ye Zhizhi, upon seeing Lin Meng, immediately betrayed Ye Xiu, causing his face to flush red.

"Zhizhi, it looks like you've had nothing to do these days; then in a few days I'll send you to school."

Ye Zhizhi, hearing that, got frightened and quickly hid behind Lin Meng.

Watching the brother and sister play affectionately, Lin Meng couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth.

Ye Xiu was dazzled by Lin Meng's smile; when he came to his senses, he saw his little sister giving him a mischievous grin.

He hurriedly lowered his head and went to fetch the file bag from the room.

"Sister, this is the identity I arranged for you; from now on you won't have to worry about being an illegal resident."

Lin Meng's eyes flashed; she took the file bag and pulled out a card inside.

"This is our Dragon State's identity card, but it's still missing a step; you need to take it to the Night Watch Management Bureau for binding."

Lin Meng stored the identity card in her space, but hearing that she exclaimed, "Why do I still need to go to the Night Watch Management Bureau?"

Ye Xiu explained: "In order to prevent high‑level anomalies from mixing into human society, every identity card must go to the Night Watch Management Bureau for level binding; the process is simple—just a drop of blood is needed."
