Chapter 307: He Only Cares About His Sister

"How long has it been since school started?"

Lin Meng asked with concern about Ye Xiu's situation.

Ye Xiu told Lin Meng when he started school, what he had been doing these past few days, and everything else.

The preparatory class freshmen stared wide-eyed at the usually aloof, man of few words Ye Xiu, who now became talkative before that mysterious older sister; everyone was very surprised.

"Turns out Ye Xiu is her brother; goodness, what on earth is Ye Xiu's background?"

"In our class, there seem to be only two people with S-rank talent this year, and one of them is Ye Xiu, right? But I remember his supernatural ability is that of a summoner; looking at it this way, everything makes sense."

"Exactly, it makes sense. We all know what a summoner is like—where in this world are there magic beasts for them to summon? This talent is basically useless; logically, it shouldn't be possible for the Night Watch Preparatory Class to admit someone like that."

"But if his sister is powerful enough that even Team Captain Wu Jiang has to give her some face, then making an exception to specially admit Ye Xiu also makes sense."

The classmates chattered among themselves, all feeling that this explanation made sense.

Originally, when school started, everyone had already discussed this in private: the class had just over twenty freshmen; aside from the two S-rank students, everyone else had A-rank talent, excelling in their awakened supernatural abilities.

Some have rare elemental abilities with strong explosive power, especially fire, which counters most anomalies, making them damage dealers on the battlefield.

There are also healing and exploration-type support supernatural abilities, which are extremely useful and reliable when fighting anomalies.

Only Ye Xiu, despite being S-rank talent, happens to be a summoner.

Students from Jinan City have all heard of Ye Xiu's situation; they say he is the most regrettable contestant among this year's college entrance examinees, and calling him a fallen genius is not an exaggeration.

Being a summoner has no future at all—even a three-year-old knows that.

On the first day of school, when the instructor had them do self-introductions, Ye Xiu's situation naturally sparked widespread discussion, and everyone had questioned his existence.

But later, in several practical combat lessons, Ye Xiu displayed formidable individual combat strength, his martial arts far surpassing everyone else, which is why no one brought up his being a summoner anymore.

Now that his sister has come, all of this seems to make sense.

After learning the situation, most of the upperclassmen in the preparatory class snorted at Ye Xiu.

They are more pragmatic than the freshmen, caring only about strength.

Someone with no prospects, relying on a bit of background, thinks they can slip into the preparatory class for a slot—do they really treat the Night Watch Preparatory Class as a gilding pond they can just walk into?

"After White God's lecture ends, I want to see all of Ye Xiu's files."

In the senior class, a long-haired male commanded the person beside him, who promptly nodded.

"President, are you planning to give this Ye Xiu a lesson?"

Zhou Nan narrowed his eyes and sneered:

"We're about to graduate; as president, before I leave, I ought to do something for the kids of the Jinan Preparatory Class."

"Someone like Ye Xiu, who got in through connections, shouldn't be in the preparatory class; I don't care what background his sister has—here, using backdoors is not allowed!"

His little lackey beside him kept nodding, looking at Zhou Nan with admiration.

"President, you are just! We obey you on this!"

Zhou Nan, born into a powerful family, could easily attend the top academies of the Dragon State and later work effortlessly at the Night Watch Headquarters.

But he dislikes obtaining resources through family support, feeling that it isn't truly earned by his own strength and is therefore empty.

So he relied on his own talent and effort to enter Jinan University, and with his solid strength, he formally transferred into the Night Watch Preparatory Class during his sophomore evaluation.

Every step to where he is today is the result of Zhou Nan's own efforts.

Thus he hates Ye Xiu for getting in through connections.

Zhou Nan thought for a moment and said:

"Also look into Ye Xiu's sister; with your family's intelligence capabilities, it shouldn't be hard to find out, right?"

The person beside Zhou Nan hurriedly nodded upon hearing that.

"Don't worry, President; I'll take care of it after the lecture ends."

Lin Meng naturally sensed Zhou Nan's somewhat hostile gaze, but she didn't pay it much mind.

Ye Xiu's summoner profession was never well regarded, so he would inevitably face many cold stares; surely Ye Xiu himself knows this, and his path won't be easy.

Moreover, her presence today, plus the special attention from President Wu Jiang, naturally leads those with ulterior motives to speculate wildly.

Lin Meng was a little worried about Ye Xiu; this kid is sensitive—don't let him be isolated or suffer cold violence.

"How have you been feeling over the past week or so at school? How are your classmates treating you?"

Ye Xiu smiled again upon hearing that; his sister really does care about him.

"Sister, the classmates are pretty friendly; my summoner profession is naturally sensitive, but nobody has mocked me, looked down on me, or caused me trouble—here it's unlike high school; everyone just wants to get stronger."

Lin Meng stared closely at Ye Xiu's eyes; seeing that he really wasn't hiding anything, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's good; it seems this university has a fine atmosphere, without anyone as detestable as Cui Cheng."

"But even if someone does come looking for trouble, you don't need to worry too much—if you can win, fight back; if you can't, go find Team Captain Wu Jiang, and he'll help you."

"We won't start trouble, but we also shouldn't fear others coming to cause trouble—you are the one I rescued, and you must not be bullied!"

Lin Meng's words made Ye Xiu's heart suddenly start pounding wildly.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, striving to suppress his inner excitement, his eyes reddening as he nodded.

"Mm!"

His sister was right—not provoking trouble but also not fearing others who do; he is no longer that helpless, aimless, pitiful boy from before.

He now has a direction to strive toward, his strength is gradually growing, and most importantly, he still has his sister!

The preparatory classmates are far more conscious than those before, and they are also of higher quality.

Although Ye Xiu knows, the classmates still whisper about him behind his back, but they have never said anything unbecoming to his face, nor has anyone humiliated him.

As long as everyone maintains surface harmony, he doesn't care what they really think of him in their hearts.

He might have cared about such things before, but from now on he won't care about others' opinions at all.

From now on, he cares only about his sister; as long as she acknowledges him, looks favorably on him, and encourages him, he can completely disregard the eyes of others in this world.

Lin Meng felt that Ye Xiu seemed to have changed—not only had his outward strength increased, he had also become much more robust, but more importantly, his inner self seemed to have grown stronger as well.

Lin Meng sincerely felt happy for Ye Xiu; the boy she had high hopes for finally shows a bit of a man's bearing…
