The next day, Ya Ge finished her hearty breakfast and walked out of the house with her little brother.

In the early morning, the air was especially fresh. Walking through the gardens full of classical charm, Ya Ge took a deep breath, a trace of ease and delight showing on her face, and neighbors would occasionally come up to greet her.

"Good morning, Auntie."

Ya Ge responded to the middle-aged woman in front of her with both elegance and courtesy.

Ever since Awakening Day, Ya Ge's life had undergone earth-shaking changes.

In order to get into the Three Heroic Academies, she came to the Shangjing Juxing headquarters, and brought her family to Shangjing as well.

If all goes well, in three months she'll get into Great Wall Academy and fully settle down in Shangjing.

Although she had just moved into the Ancient Charm District, as a signed player of Juxing, her fame was high—half the neighborhood knew her.

Ancient Charm District is less than ten minutes' drive from the Juxing Club, located at the heart of the Inner City in Shangjing. Supermarkets, malls, metro stations, hospitals, and martial arts dojos abound nearby—the place is fully equipped.

She lives in a three-bedroom, fully furnished unit, with a monthly rent of thirty-seven thousand.

Her five-million signing bonus was not trivial, but at seventeen thousand per square meter in Ancient Charm, a random three-bedroom here would be worth over ten million. She couldn't afford to buy one yet.

Still, what puzzled her was how yesterday's warm neighbors now looked at her with odd expressions, and the air seemed to be charged with some uneasy tension.

"What's going on?"

Ya Ge touched her face, then looked down at her clothes, checking—nothing was dirty.

She felt a bit confused inside, even slightly uncomfortable.

Because she noticed many girls around her age looked at her with a hint of mockery and disdain.

Many would sneak a glance at her, then turn away to whisper amongst themselves in twos or threes.

"Little bro, what's wrong?"

After walking for a while, Ya Ge looked at her silent brother trailing behind and asked concernedly.

"What's really wrong? You've been so down these past few days. Aren't you happy we moved to a new home?"

Faced with his sister's concern, Ya Jiatian—just twelve years old, not very tall, with delicate features and a rather shy disposition—kept silent, until finally, tired of being asked, he said, "Sis, did you really break up with Brother Feng?"

Ya Ge paused mid-step, surprised that her brother's gloomy mood was because of this.

"Little bro, you're growing up and have your own thoughts now. I don't want to lie to you, but you should know Lin Feng and I are no longer going down the same path." Ya Ge gently patted her brother's head as she explained.

"Our whole family has come to Shangjing, but he's still in Jiang City. In the future, our gap will only get bigger."

"Oh."

Ya Jiatian lowered his head and muttered an "oh."

Lin Feng and his sister had grown up together since childhood—if she loves him, so does he. He'd always been looked after by Lin Feng, always Lin Feng and Gao Hai's little tagalong. In Ya Jiatian's heart, Lin Feng was already his brother-in-law.

"Brother Feng is really strong." After a while, Ya Jiatian looked up at his sister and couldn't help saying so.

Whenever someone bullied him, it was always Lin Feng who stood up for him.

From childhood till now, Lin Feng had always been his idol.

"Lin Feng is strong, he can even defeat Martial Artists, but he can't refine Demon Spirits. He's not a Demon Spirit Master, so he can't become a true powerhouse." Ya Ge explained softly.

She truly cared for her brother and didn't want their relationship to suffer because of this.

"Who says? At school, some classmates say Brother Feng can refine Earth Chart demon spirits!"

"That's not true." Ya Ge said plainly.

She didn't believe it was possible.

Hiding his talent?

Just to stop her from feeling inferior?

Even though she knew Lin Feng's feelings for her, she dared not believe he'd go that far.

As for giving up on refining Ninth Grade Purple Qilin for Earth Chart demon spirits, she doubted it even more.

On Awakening Day, among a hundred thousand candidates, only Ye Qiu refined an Earth Chart demon spirit. He was a peerless genius, one in a hundred thousand.

Thunder Club even offered him a ten-year, three-billion contract, which Ye Qiu turned down.

Even in the Juxing Club, which gathers top-level stars, geniuses who can refine Earth Chart demon spirits are rare.

Even if such stories do happen, the main character won't be Lin Feng, but some scion of a major family—only those people have the means to do such things.

If Lin Feng could refine Ninth Grade demon spirits, he could soar instantly, move out of Shore District, even join an S-level club.

Ya Ge didn't believe Lin Feng would give that up. As far as she knew, Lin Feng would never let go of the chance to change his family's fate.

That's his dream!

As for the news on the Martial Artist forum yesterday, she'd heard about it. Even though she tried to avoid Lin Feng-related rumors, this incident blew up—people talked about it not only in Jiang City, but even in Shangjing.

Even during training, teammates at the club discussed it.

But just like all the netizens, she didn't believe it.

Even the Earth Chart Cloud-Stepping Beast isn't good enough for him—who believes that?

Who could believe it?

"If one day you regret it, what will you do?"

Ya Jiatian looked up at his sister and asked softly.

Faced with her brother's gaze, Ya Ge's expression flickered slightly, but soon grew calm again. She answered firmly, "I won't regret it."

At the entrance to the neighborhood, a middle-aged driver leaned against his car, glancing toward the gate every so often. When he saw Ya Ge approaching, he hurriedly tossed away his cigarette, and as she came up, he opened the car door, bowing respectfully.

"Good morning, Miss Ya Ge. Good morning, young master."

"Good morning, Uncle Chen." Ya Ge nodded, greeting politely.

This driver was assigned to her by Juxing Club. She didn't have to pay anything for him.

"Miss Ya Ge, this morning the club has a martial arts instructor teaching Martial Skill. Would you like to go?" The driver started the car, asking as he drove.

"Yes, let's go."

Ya Ge replied without hesitation. Having refined the Enchanting Butterfly, she already qualified for the Nine Elite Joint Schools.

For Ya Ge, her task now was to strengthen her Martial Arts cultivation and practical experience.

She only had Body Cultivator Sixth Rank power for now. If she could reach Body Cultivator Eighth Rank before the college entrance exams, there might still be hope for the Three Heroic Academies.

Though today was the weekend—a rest day—for her, every day was precious.

"Miss Ya Ge, do you have something on your mind? If there's any trouble, the club can help." The driver peeked into the rearview mirror, asking cautiously, a hint of fawning in his tone.

"No."

Ya Ge snapped out of it and smiled faintly.

Though still so young, that pure smile carried a trace of allure, making the experienced driver's heart tremble—he quickly looked away, not daring to stare.

Driving, he muttered to himself that he couldn't handle it.

So charming at a young age—how stunning will she be in a few years!

Ya Ge hadn't noticed the driver's strangeness; her brow slightly furrowed, wondering why everyone in the neighborhood was looking at her so oddly.

Right now, she didn't know about Lin Feng selling advertising space.

A huge storm was brewing, with signs it could sweep across the whole country.
