Chapter 759: The New Roommate

“Indeed.” Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “However, the heads of the major families or core disciples are not subject to such strict restrictions. There’s too much going on in these big families to impose stringent rules on them. Of course, if they wish to leave the Hidden World, they still need to report to the Enforcement Team.”
These rules were similar to the immigration and customs regulations in the mortal world. However, they were stricter for ordinary disciples and rogue cultivators, while more lenient for the heads and important members of large families.
It was due to the reporting requirement that Huangfu Ruiling came to know about Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s presence in the mortal world.
Ye Leng’an sighed helplessly. “Well, I just don’t want to deal with them anymore.”
“Alright, I’m just giving you a heads-up so you can be mentally prepared.” Huangfu Ruiling chuckled and shook his head. “Just in case they do approach you, you won’t be caught off guard. As for other matters, don’t dwell on them too much.”
Ye Leng’an nodded. “While Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu may have given me life, they haven’t shown me much care. Our bond isn’t deep, and unless necessary, I’d rather not get too involved with them.”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded and then remembered something. “There’s one more thing I forgot to mention. Ye Wanwan’s cultivation has not only recovered but also surged up two levels, directly reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“What?” Ye Leng’an was astonished, her brows furrowing. “How is that possible?”
After all, Ye Wanwan’s dantian had been destroyed by her own hand. Even if she had forcibly repaired it with pills and subsequently boosted her cultivation, it would have resulted in significant side effects. Among them, the most notable would be the difficulty in future cultivation progress.
However, not only had Ye Wanwan recovered, but her cultivation had also advanced. It all seemed highly peculiar. If Ye Wanwan hadn’t encountered some extraordinary opportunity, then she must have resorted to some special means.
“Indeed.” Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. “It’s said that Ye Yikun provided Ye Wanwan with numerous pills.”
“Impossible,” Ye Leng’an refuted immediately. “There’s simply no pill capable of achieving such an effect.”
She dared to assert that in this world, no alchemist could match her skills. When it came to alchemy, she could be considered the top. Therefore, she was confident that no pill could produce such results.
Huangfu Ruiling’s brows furrowed even tighter. “It seems we need to dispatch someone to investigate.”
“Yes.” Ye Leng’an nodded, then cautioned, “Advise those sent to investigate to be cautious. I have a feeling that things aren’t as simple as they seem.”
Huangfu Ruiling naturally sensed the strangeness of the situation and nodded in agreement.
After finishing dinner early, they went out for a stroll before returning to school since it was still early.
Returning to the dormitory, Ye Leng’an noticed their remaining roommate had also arrived. However, Zhu Bixuan and Zhou Cui’an were absent, probably not back yet!
“Hello!” Ye Leng’an nodded at her new roommate, offering a greeting.
Unexpectedly, the new roommate merely glanced at her and emitted a disdainful snort before returning to her own activities without sparing Ye Leng’an a second glance.
Ye Leng’an wasn’t bothered by the indifference. She shrugged and returned to her bed, setting down her belongings.
Their new roommate, Ling Weiwei, grew even more agitated at being completely disregarded.
Ling Weiwei was strikingly beautiful and had been the school’s belle since childhood. Coming from a wealthy family in a major city like Hu City, she had always looked down on others.
Proud of her looks, she was naturally displeased when confronted with someone she deemed not much better than herself.
So, when faced with Ye Leng’an’s greeting, she simply ignored it. But now that Ye Leng’an was completely ignoring her, she felt that the other party lacked any manners.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to confront Ye Leng’an directly and could only stew in her annoyance.
Unaware of Ling Weiwei’s inner turmoil, Ye Leng’an lay back on her bed and began reading an ancient book.
Though two people were present in the dorm, silence prevailed, casting a heavy atmosphere.
Shortly afterward, Zhu Bixuan and Zhou Cui’an returned together, though their arrival wasn’t planned, having merely bumped into each other downstairs.
Their return injected some liveliness into the dormitory.
The two chatted animatedly as if they had been friends for years.
Ye Leng’an didn’t participate in their conversation, opting to continue reading her book.
Ling Weiwei couldn’t resist and slammed the table, “Could you all please be quiet? This is a dormitory, not your home. Can’t you consider others?”
The loud noise startled the other three in the dormitory.
“What’s gotten into you?” Zhu Bixuan wasn’t about to let her off easily and retorted, “You also know this is a dormitory, not just your own space. Besides, it’s not rest time now. We’re allowed to talk in the dormitory.”
She had long been displeased with Ling Weiwei’s arrogant demeanor, acting as if she were superior, expecting everyone to bow down before her.
“You…” Ling Weiwei was furious, her face turning red. “Whatever, I don’t care. Just don’t make noise, or I’ll complain to the dorm supervisor.”
“Go ahead! Go complain,” Zhu Bixuan replied fearlessly. “Let’s see if you have a valid reason.”
On the other hand, Zhou Cui’an appeared somewhat anxious, tugging at Zhu Bixuan’s sleeve and whispering, “Bixuan, maybe we should keep our voices down? We’re all roommates. Let’s not escalate the situation.”
She just wanted to defuse the tension.
Clearly, Zhou Cui’an’s approach only made Ling Weiwei more arrogant. “You people have no manners at all,” she snapped. “Being so noisy and not considering others’ feelings.”
Initially, Zhu Bixuan had intended to back down after Zhou Cui’an’s intervention. But now, her anger was reignited.
