Chapter 16: A Distress Signal from Another World

The crowd at the school gate had dispersed, and Lingyun and his group entered the school. Huaxia University is very large; the Computer Department and the Music Academy are not in the same place. Luo Yexi said goodbye to Lingyun and headed toward the Music Academy's teaching area.

"I say, Fourth Brother, you're just letting such a high-quality girl go to the Music Academy all by herself? Aren't you afraid she'll get snatched away by someone?" Han Yu watched Luo Yexi's departing back and asked Lingyun quietly.

"Don't worry, Ye Xi is much smarter than you imagine. By the way, Second Brother, haven't you always claimed your IQ is superior?" Lingyun smiled, then brought up a seemingly unrelated topic.

"That goes without saying. How could you ordinary people imagine the heights of my IQ?" Hearing Lingyun's question, Han Yu struck a pose with some self-satisfaction.

"Is that so? Think about it: even someone with an IQ as superior as yours was sold by Luo Yexi and still helped her count the money. Do I need to worry about her being snatched away?" Lingyun said with a straight face.

Han Yu's face collapsed instantly: "I say, Fourth Brother, can you stop bringing up my dark history? That was just me being careless for a moment and getting tricked by Ye Xi."

"Don't worry, Second Brother, we won't tell anyone about your embarrassing moments. We'll just keep them in our hearts, so you don't have to worry." Liu Feng seized the opportunity to twist the knife in Han Yu's heart.

"Ouch, come on, having you guys as roommates is truly the greatest misfortune of my life, isn't it?" Han Yu looked dejected, just short of going to a corner to draw circles.

"Alright, Eldest Brother, Third Brother, let's let this guy off for now. If he shows off his IQ in front of us again next time, we'll deal with him then." Lingyun smoothed things over for Han Yu.

"Hmm, fine, I'll keep this in mind," Huang Luo laughed.

"After sitting in the car for so long, I'm going back to the dorm to sleep and get some good rest. We have class tomorrow, what about you guys?" Liu Feng asked.

"I'm going back too," Huang Luo said.

"Add me to that," Han Yu also chimed in.

Lingyun looked at the three of them: "I won't go back yet. I've been a shut-in in the dorm for so long, I want to walk around the campus and see the scenery!"

"Alright, then we'll head back first." Huang Luo and the others waved at Lingyun and walked toward the dormitory area.

After Huang Luo and the others left, Lingyun strolled around the university by himself. Although he had been at Huaxia University for a month, Lingyun, who had a certain shut-in nature, had never really taken a proper walk around the campus.

Lingyun walked alone on a tree-lined path at Huaxia University, with students passing by him from time to time.

As he walked, he noticed there were fewer and fewer Goddesses around him. He looked up and realized he had wandered near the Music Academy. The Music Academy at Huaxia University had always been a department where the yin outweighed the yang, with the ratio of male to female students consistently maintained between one-to-six and one-to-seven. It could be said that the Music Academy was a holy land in the hearts of many students at Huaxia University.

Since he had arrived in front of the Music Academy, Lingyun wanted to see how Luo Yexi's business was going, so he stepped into the Teaching Building.

"Eh, Master, why did you come here?" A familiar voice rang out behind him. Lingyun didn't need to turn around to know it was Luo Yexi; after all, in Huaxia University, she was the only one who called him Master.

Lingyun turned around, and behind him, Luo Yexi looked at him with a face full of surprise.

"Hmm, I just came here to take a look. How is it, have you finished your business?" Lingyun asked.

"It's already done. Those teachers were all very enthusiastic toward me and saved me a lot of procedures. However, those teachers didn't give me an auditing pass, but instead said I could come here to attend classes directly from now on, and they would apply for me to become a Special Student." Luo Yexi reported her results to Lingyun.

"A Special Student, huh? That works too. With your strength, becoming a Special Student is nothing surprising. By the way, do you have a dormitory yet?" Lingyun nodded.

"Well, the teacher said she would get the dormitory sorted out for me in the next few days and told me to wait patiently, and to stay at her place for these few days," Luo Yexi replied.

"That works too. After a while, I'll go find a place outside, and then we can move out to live. It will be more convenient for us," Lingyun said.

Luo Yexi nodded in agreement. The convenience Lingyun spoke of was naturally for their cultivation. She was currently at the peak of the first stage of the Nine Suns Heavenly Art and had the possibility of breaking through at any time; living outside would also allow them to avoid prying eyes.

Time flew by, and over a month passed. Lingyun had already found a place outside the school, and he and Luo Yexi had moved in. He remembered that when Lingyun told Huang Luo and the others that he and Luo Yexi were going to live outside, their expressions were quite spectacular. Han Yu even gave Lingyun a thumbs up, praising him for truly being the one who gets the moon first by being near the water.

To this, Lingyun only smiled and said nothing; after all, these things only get darker the more you explain them. Sometimes, not explaining is the best explanation. During this month, Lingyun's school life was quite peaceful, and no blind fools had come to provoke him.

Lingyun secretly affirmed in his heart that it had been the right thing to risk a great deal to strike the Heavenly Dao Light Wheel with a sword, as it made the other party afraid to easily trip him up in the dark. He didn't know that his younger sister, Ruoxi, had teamed up with another sister he didn't know about and directly destroyed the Heavenly Dao avatar. With this precedent, the newly born Youruo naturally didn't dare to set her sights on him.

On the other hand, Luo Yexi had become famous in the Music Academy during this time. This was partly due to her beauty, and partly due to her astonishing strength in music. More than one teacher had said that with her strength, she could fully qualify as a teacher.

Moreover, she had been listed on the Music Academy's beauty rankings, placing fifteenth. If it weren't for her young age, she would definitely have entered the top ten. During this time, the number of people pursuing her could form a whole class.

Regarding this, Luo Yexi had once complained to Lingyun, but Lingyun only smiled and said this was her own business and should be handled by her.

"Brother, Brother, come here quickly!" As Lingyun was packing his things, preparing to return to the rented apartment, Ruoxi's voice suddenly rang out in his mind. Lingyun's footsteps paused. Ruoxi had been busy constructing the laws of the Cloud Realm during this time, busy beyond measure. Why would she suddenly look for him now? Could something have happened?

Thinking of this, Lingyun walked quickly into an empty corner and flashed directly into the Cloud Realm.

The current Cloud Realm had changed greatly compared to before; not only had its area increased significantly, but various elements like water, fire, wind, and lightning had also begun to appear.

"What's wrong, Ruoxi, did something happen?" As soon as Lingyun entered the Cloud Realm, he used his privileges in the Cloud Realm to go directly to Ruoxi's side.

"Brother, look at this!" Ruoxi held a Light Ball in her hands and held it up for Lingyun to see.

"This, what is this thing?" Lingyun looked at the Light Ball in Ruoxi's hands and discovered it did not belong to the Cloud Realm.

Ruoxi spoke up: "This is a distress signal sent from another world!"

"A distress signal?" Lingyun couldn't help but be stunned.
